Kazama Sushi in Claremont

We’ve walked by so many times over the years and there was always a line to wait in. Finally decided to give it a shot last Saturday afternoon and what a great experience it was. The sushi and food were all so delicious and fresh. They were busy but still attentive. We dined with my 3 1/2-year-old son with so much energy, and there was one woman server who took the time to talk and play with him whenever she would walk by. If any mother knows what it’s like to eat at a restaurant with a toddler and knows how stressful it can be, this small gesture just melted my heart. Can’t wait to return next time we are in town.

This is a traditional and fusion Japanese restaurant. They even sell ramen and udon to make the menu quite full. I tried the Shirshi bowl. Presentation was a bit odd as they used a casserole bowl but they used large sashimi slices of fish and portion was big. I think most patrons order those fusion rolls as they look creative and poured over with sauces. In general the restaurant is okay for this area. There is a back entrance that faces the movie theatre courtyard.

Been here 2 times now and its really good. I personally like Nigiri which is the fish on top of the rice. Really attentive service. The staff is super polite and awesome. The food is amazing. Get the toro (fatty tuna) its worth every penny as it melts in your mouth. The fish were all fresh and didnt taste all fishy. My girlfriend got the Vegan Creamy Ramen. She said it was really good as well. Definitely a great spot to check out if you are in that area and if you love sushi as much as I do.

Tried out this place and was very happy with it. Great food, the best blue fin and belly tuna that was worth market price ! The rolls were amazing and overall this place was awesome. All the fish tasted fresh and with no bad stuff at all to say about it. Cool options to eat inside or out back in the patio area, very chill vibes to it.

Love this place. Even open on independence day. Great food, drinks and surprisingly affordable for a sushi restaurant. But the happy hour is the best especially for the sake bombs

Excellent first impressions! Nice vibe. Great service. Delicious rolls!Ordered 3 rolls total. First one was so good, it was devoured before I could capture a photo! The other 2 were equally as delicious.For sure will be coming back!

It is nice restaurant, located in downtown area of Claremont! I have been here several times, after leaving my job, to grab dinner! The meals, that I would order, were quite delicious. In addition, they have a wide selection of meals, to choose from. Nevertheless, some meals were on the expensive side. Still, those prices were worth it. In addition, I would not recommend to dine out on Fridays, since it would usually get busy. I would recommend to come by on regular weekday such as Wednesday or Thursday. The staff, during my visits, was helpful, friendly, and polite. Definitely, it is one of my favorite establishments, in downtown area of Claremont!

Great locally-owned sushi restaurant. Quality of food is fantastic and i would match this sushi restaurant against any larger chains. Small and quaint but worth the wait. Large portions and most importantly, great service!

Hands down the best place for Sushi. The staff is friendly and the food never disappoints. Everything is always so fresh. Cant get enough of this place.

The toro is absolutely exquisite. The food and service was excellent. Our favorite Japanese restaurant that is family friendly and has a welcoming atmosphere. I highly recommend it.
