    If you are looking for a nice sushi place, well, keep reading: Kami sushi is located in Jbeil, 2 mns walk from the old souks. The place is nicely designed and has both indoor and outdoor seatings. As for the food: - You should definitely start with dynamite shrimps as they were delicious. - We ordered different types with salmon and shrimps and all of them were mouthwatering 😋😋 - As for the desert, we tried crepe and fondant. They look extremely delicious but they weren't as good as expected.

    This was our favorite sushi restaurant, but should pay attention to consistent quality, and we commented to them earlier to serve products just like the advertised menu images. So now, they changed the menu images to SMALLER portions but kept the high prices. Our meal cost was too high compared to other similar restaurants almost twice as much, and the new sushi sizes became too small. Neat restaurant, but the hyped prices, together with reduced quantities, was a killer for us.

    When in byblos and craving sushi, Kami is the place to go. Their freshness, cleanliness and menu variety are hard to match. They also have some special items on the menu, like the chef’s mood which is an unpredictable maki based on the mood of the chef! They also host an open sushi each Monday. Situated in the heart of the beautiful byblos city, the indoor and outdoor settings are really nice. Parking is very easy just in front of the outlet.

    Great quality and good service! Have many vegan options but was disappointed that the vegetable fried rice had eggs without stating so in the menu like all other ingredients. Would recommend for both vegans and non vegans. My bf (not vegan) says it’s one of the best Japanese restaurants in 🇱🇧

    One of the best sushi places i have ever visited, especially when it comes to their signature items such as Dynamite, Dancing Shrimp, Crazy Eel, and Dragon are a must try! Staff are very friendly, the place is quiet. For 40 pcs, 2 soft drinks, and starter shrimp dynamite, we paid 84$.

    Amazing place to visit and dine at.. very good service, quick and attentive to details. All ingredients are fresh, the high traffic enforces that..

    Usually I avoid posting negative reviews, but my experience was extremly disapointed. The place was recommended by a friend, and I read a lot of positive reviews about it on zomato. Location is superbe, very calm and clean. The staff were great, and the service was more than excellent. The waitress recommend some items, she was talking about their chef's speciality, and special items, and I decided to try them, since they are the best. we got notified about 20% extra charge on bill because the USD issue in Lebanon. and i was like " I dont mind if I am gonna have the best sushi as u said" Sushi arrived, well presented As for the taste (without exaggeration), it was the worst sushi experience in my life, and I definitely won't repeat it. The amount of rice is overwhelming the flavour. I didn't like the combination and twist

    Visited Kami Sushi on Friday for a late lunch. It was our first time eating at a restaurant during the COVID-19. The staff were very welcoming & friendly, while taking all the necessary measures and precautions while we entered the restaurant. The interior design is so simple; i absolutely loved the color palette chosen and the whole mood. We ordered a selection of Maki's to try, and i must say they were delicious! Presentation of food was very nicely done. Highly recommend this place for a wonderful experience and great sushi.

    Amazing staff and customer service. The food is obviously good but what really sets them apart is the fact that they truly care about customer satisfaction.

    Kami always impresses with the food that they offer. Don't go only for the sushi try the Japanese cooked food as well as some Peruvian dish selections on hand. Their teryaki sauce is very good and pops out in their dishes. The chimichuri chicken as well is sublime.

  • 5/5 Nancy k. 1 year ago on Google
    Very welcoming and friendly staff! We ordered edamame, bottle of wine, salmon set and 3 different items. Portions are good, rolls are not full of rice which is rare to find a sushi restaurant that you can actually taste the fish especially during the situation we are going through ! Prices are fair regarding the taste and portions. Recommended

  • 2/5 Layal M. 2 years ago on Google
    I visited Kami last day in the evening the place was cozy and nice the staff where nice too, I ordered miso and salmon poke didn't like that much miso soupe the algae where shewy but the taste was ok for the poke I don't think they used the right rice it shows and taste like Egyptian rice or something else but definitely not SuChi rice 🍚 the salmon was good and fresh avocado didn't like that much green beans with such a platter and there was no ginger or wasabi a side, overall the food was good but not what i wished for I may come back to try other stuff

  • 5/5 jad b. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing selection of sushi fusion with a twist. Freshness was a staple in tonight's dinner and taste was phenomenal. Highly recommended Suchi place on the outskirts of Byblos's old Town.

    I would rate this sushi experience as good. The freshness of the ingredients shine. A true delight for sushi lovers seeking a special experience.

  • 4/5 Maya 10 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere was nice and cosy, the waiter was very helpful helping us understand the menu which is very difficult to get around as a first timer. The food took some time to come, the starters we fast and tasted fresh. However only note was that the table next to us had ordered after us by quite time, they mentioned they were in a rush, our main took longer than expected as they catered for their table first. However I do recommend if you are after nice sushi.

    Quality of ingredients: The quality is moderate, not too bad if i were to be honest, however for the price charged, the quality should be premium. Thus, this is not satisfactory at all. So, either lower your prices or import better salmon. Proportionality: sushi is just a combination of perfectly cooked rice with perfectly proportioned ingredients. Your proportions are wrong. The rice is good. Price: should be halved considering the location, quality, and overall taste.

    The staff is very friendly and helpful. It's one of the first sushi places in Byblos, conveniently located inside a parking area (to be paid), making it easy to find a parking spot. The food is very tasty, the place is impeccably clean, service is fast, and the atmosphere is very pleasant and inviting.

    Over saucy, watery, sweet, squishy rolls; I’ve rarely had something that bad!

  • 5/5 Hassan S. 5 years ago on Google
    AMAZING!! Easily the best sushi spot in lebnen! Make sure to order from the specials section wow, the shrimp with grilled salmon roll is perfect everything is simply perfect. 26$ per person without alcohol, the price is cheap from personal experience. Definitely coming here again no doubt thank you to the staff for the great service!!

    It's the best taste of sushi in lebanon. Great taste, amazing variety, good service and magnificent look and presentation of food. Advice: order chef's mood (you never know what comes, but it's always great)

    (Translated by Google) More than just a sushi restaurant. There are original dishes, deliciously prepared and to be tasted absolutely with the famous Japanese beer "Sapporo" (Original) Plus qu'un simple restaurant de sushi. On y trouve des plats originaux, délicieusement préparés et à déguster absolument avec la fameuse bière nippone"Sapporo"

🫤 The seating is nice, cool place for arguile or coffee. However, the food is bot so good. I tried the cheesy fries, it was good. The salad, sweetie quinoa was average. The club sandwich was nothing like the photo, and was not so good, below average food. Other than that good.
