Kamakura East Sushi and Ramen Japanese Restaurant

Great stop for tourists. Bring your own alcohol and save some cash 🙂. Food was amazing, we tried so many things. Helpful and friendly staff, you will feel like home.

Overall an amazing experience The closest experience to Kyoto in Belfast. Amazing ambiance with a really well decorated set-up right from the entrance. The sliding door is very much like in Japan. The placement of the table and the cutlery shows the attention to detail. The service is attentive without being overpowering. Extremely organized with delivery and direction of service. The food and drink was amazing the katsu was crisp and the rice had a great consistency. Highly recommend. Also tried a few sushi rolls each of them very prepared with delicate balance. I would strongly recommend this place for Japanese cuisine.

We celebrated my son’s 14th birthday at Kamakura East Sushi and Ramen, and once again, it proved to be the perfect choice. As a family of food lovers – and with my son being a dedicated sushi fan – this restaurant has become a favourite of ours, and it never fails to impress. The food was absolutely beautiful, every dish presented with care and bursting with flavour. Although we were a little disappointed that the breaded seabass was off the menu, the starters more than made up for it – each one a delicious introduction to a memorable meal. The sushi was as fresh and delicate as always, and the ramen rich and comforting, making the whole experience truly special. The atmosphere, paired with attentive service, turned the evening into a birthday celebration we’ll remember fondly. Kamakura East continues to set the bar high for Japanese dining in Belfast– a restaurant we’ll keep returning to for many more occasions. Highly recommended!

The place is always busy which says a lot. It’s bijou and quirky. The staff are lovely - just folk trying to do honest work to make a living. The food is really flavoursome, the fish always meaty & fresh. There’s a wide choice in the menu with plenty of sides or small starters / you decide. They’re not licensed but you can byob & there’s a corkage charge dependant on wine/spirits/beer. They will provide glassware. The place is always warm and it’s homely & intimate. Recommended without a doubt.

We had a wonderful evening at Kamakura Belfast on Holywood Road as a party of 11. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and exceptionally well taken care of by Rowena and her son. Rowena was not only highly competent but also genuinely personable, ensuring that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. We had the pleasure of trying a selection of dishes from the entire menu, and each one was a delightful experience. The food was absolutely delicious—freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and bursting with flavour. As a large group, we couldn’t have asked for a better dining experience. Thank you to the entire team for making our night so memorable!

Came here for a mid week pick up lunch. Staff are fantastic and really quick. Very fair price for sushi in Belfast and great quality

We dined in recently and the food was good, can't complain about that. The service however was a bit off, the server did not write down our order, and then forgot half of it, so we had to re-order it again. That was disappointing to get starters after our main course. One of the chefs was sitting at the table with customers and watching loud videos on his phone, that did not look very professional. The food was good though.

Ordered a chocolate milkshake and what I got is blended ice and chocolate milk. Extremely disappointing and misleading. Don’t put something on the menu if you don’t have the actual item. The yaki soba were pretty gross, very oily, sugary, and the sauce gave the scrambled eggs a terrible texture
