Established in 1981, this local Japanese restaurant has garnered loyal patrons from all over the Bay Area. The menu is diverse enough to please all tastes with sushi, sashimi, tempura, teriyaki or udon. The budget-conscious can find affordable combination dinners here as well. Kamakura is family-run and its founder, Faith Yamapo, is usually on hand to greet you personally. Tell your server when it's your birthday and you'll be treated to ice cream topped by an intricately-carved apple. With the bill, adults receive complimentary plum wine while kids are offered Japanese candy.
