    Japanese fusion restaurant in Colombo 07. Amazing food! Their Maki roll, crab rice and sweet potato fries and dumplings were excellent! Service is good but it seemed rushed? Although there were only 2 tables filled at the time. But staff was friendly and accommodating. Some of the plates weren't cleaned properly and table had not been cleared. Ambience is okay. Good for a casual dinner.

    Visited Kami Maki after ordering their food home before. It was a special occasion and I must say I enjoyed every bit of it. From the environment to the service they were above and beyond my expectations. The gentleman in charge was kind enough to recommend some dishes as well and it was not a let down. The ambience of Kami maki is amazing. Peaceful, with some nice relaxed music playing through out. The bar is stocked and they have an amazing array of drinks to choose from. They also have a karaoke room for parties and events and a teppanyaki spot located in the outdoor seating area. We ordered a few dishes and not a single one let us down. The Sushi was top notch and I don’t think ill be ordering from anywhere else from here on out. Portion sizes were very good and the food is filling. Tiger prawn tempura 9/10 Volcano Maki 10/10 Teriyaki Chicken Sushi Maki 9/10 Crunch Prawn Maki 9/10 Katsu Curry Chicken 9/10 Kochchi Crab Rice with Egg 9/10 Dessert 10/10 (Rated specially by my daughter) Cant wait to revisit and try out a few other items on the menu that caught my eye. Until then all the best and thank you for the splendid service & un-forgetful evening.

    Love their sushi! The quality has always been consistent. Been dining at their restaurant from when they initially opened up-in Jawatta Road several years ago to their newest relocation in Horton place.

    I love Kami Maki! The staff here is amazing! And the food too. I tried the katsudon kottu and it was delicious! When you’re here, don’t forget to check out the love bar as well..

    Good food. Variety of options. The food here is good and we liked everything we ordered. The staff is friendly and the service is good too. It would have been great if all options on the menu was available for order, as some of the dishes were not available on the day we visited. This is a good place to try out Japanese food. The portions are good and the place is pretty chilled out too. They could work on improving the ambiance of the restaurant a little bit more.

    It says Japanese Fusion, so the food we ordered did not actually seems fully Japanese but with a Sri Lankan touch. Its really Good. Can improve on portion. Even though I got a small portion another dish had a bigger portion. The location and the ambiance is good. The price is obviously expensive did not expect lesser. But a good place if you want to try something new.

    My first ramen experience. Food was good. Had chicken ramen and chiken sushi with pinneapple juice as beverage. Ramen was good and colorful which has fish flavour sinked in it. The ramen was more soupy type.Bit salty for me, thought it because I was most of the time more preffered for less salty foods. Sushi rolls are good too. Bit spice sauses and sweet mixed chicken sushi made my day. Friendly service and clean tables calming music with great atmosphere. I went on a solo date but with friends and family you can have a great time.

    Nice place to enjoy Japanese food. Food was tasty and well presented. The menu has quite a good range. Atmosphere is nothing much. Service needs improvement for sure. The two men who serve and cashier need customer service training. No smile, its like why are you here? That type of look. But the food is great and price is mid range.

    Been a customer of Kami Maki for many years now. The food has remained excellent and its still one of our favourite places for mother-son dates. Love the new features, like their karaoke room at the Ward Place restaurant.

    The fusion of Japanese and Lankan flavours is executed phenomenally. A special mention must be given to their crunchy chicken and volcano sushi rolls which are out of this world. Their service is very friendly and attentive, thereby lacing everything together into a very pleasant and satisfying culinary experience.

    Nice food. Some dishes were delicious. Some were okay. But when we were there they mentioned most of the things we picked from the menu wasn’t available. It took along time to find something that available in there. It was easier if they mentioned only the available items rather than handing over the menu. It took a long time to get the food as well. But the food is mostly delicious. Dumpling and the sauce is really nice. Sticky rice and the noodles dishes were delicious. The staff could have been way more helpful with picking the dishes since most of them were not available. Every time we pick and wait for a waiter to get to know it’s not available. We would have left if we weren’t really tired to go anywhere that day. Also they served on a plate that has a broken edge. Not a nice thing to do. Make sure you ask what’s available before you invest time on picking a dish.

    It’s quite good cafe in general but it’s seems they are having a hard time. Menu includes wide selection of dishes but a lot of them are not available. For example they didn’t have tuna at all and salmon was enough only for one portion. We come on Wednesday. Perhaps they don’t keep full storage of products due to week and provide all dishes on weekends, I don’t know. All that we ordered were tasty, there are no complaints. Waiter was polite. He could recognise our foreign language and said us a couple phrases using it. It was very nice.

    Kami maki is overrated. It smells so bad. Smells damp and the only one AC is not working to cover up the bad odor. Well the smell aside food was super bad. We have expected it to be really good as the popularity it has. Well, I’d say it’s in the bottom of my list of Japanese restaurants in Colombo. Poor than an average sushi place. The sushi was tasteless. Kiribath tekka maki 😂. We didn’t get how it was that bad since it’s raw ingredients and Japanese cuisine! Wouldn’t recommend. Also the washroom is beyond frustration. わるい😒

    We came on a Monday, most of the things weren’t available and it’ll be helpful if they mention what’s available instead of running back and forth from the kitchen to confirm what’s available. Salmon and avocado roll hardly had any salmon on it. Spicy crab roll was stuffed with chillie flakes instead of crab.. Tiger prawn tempura was covered in flour instead of panko crumbs ( as shown on the Menu). The only dish we enjoyed was the crab kottu because we were super hungry. Back in the day the food was super delicious and we all loved it.

    We had pretty good time, the service guy who served us was really friendly. And the food was awesome and must say it's very affordable and the atmosphere suits for any sort of gathering.

    So poor food and service. Waiters are playing games and not more attentive to the client. Food is horrible and not fresh too.. Highly not recommend and try cafe by Tyro instead.

  • 4/5 Legal Alien in Sri Lanka Warrick S. 3 years ago on Google
    Fried menu quite nice. Hot and spicy good also good. All kinds of maki, roll menu, was good However, sushi was low quality to eat. But I can say this is a fusion restaurant not a special sushi house and quite good place to go 2nd floor has a KARAOKE ROOM. FYI.

  • 1/5 Sonya P. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant has an unpleasant odor and unclean utensils. The service from the waitstaff is unfriendly, and despite offering a vegan menu, they were unhelpful in providing it. Additionally, when requesting a lettuce wrap with tofu, they disregarded dietary restrictions and brought a wrap with tuna instead.

  • 1/5 Wathsala S. 9 months ago on Google
    Salmon Sashimi was soooo thin, you could see through it 🤣 and was not fresh. Tuna Sashimi was not fresh at all. It was like ham, and was warm. Cooked dishes were ok. The maki's we soo small. Most of the items were out of stock. We were happy to see such a big menu with such a big selection. But it was restricted only to the menu. Yday being a saturday night, it was only us at the restaurant and it must be due to the same reasons above.

    The best sushi and cocktails in town! The “Gimlet” is a must try for all gin lovers . Amazing service by theekahana. Will definitely keep coming to enjoy more sushi and cocktails 🥂

  • 5/5 Dallascious T. 2 years ago on Google
    First time visiting the new location. Still provides the same great service and delicious food. We were lucky to experience the live bad outside as well. Truly enjoyed the kochchi crab fried rice. Love this place for the fusion Japanese as well as the traditional choices they offer. Great place to meet up with family and friends. Never been disappointed as their customer service has always been consistently excellent. Will be visit again soon!

  • 3/5 Tharushi S. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and the ambiance is quite nice. The dessert was delicious. Portions are small and comparatively expensive. But it's a really good place to try Japanese food with a Sri Lanka twist.

  • 4/5 Brian M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service and great ambiance. Food is not too bad, but the portions could be slightly bigger.

  • 5/5 omindu s. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely place. Their food is really nice. Worth for the price we pay... Highly recommended 🥰❤

  • 2/5 Mark J. 2 years ago on Google
    Actually they shouldn’t really cite ‘fusion’ as an excuse for something that is not close to the authentic cuisine. A poor attempt that comes at a price. Probably you might have a better experience on the dance floor of the club which this eating place is a front for.

    Me and my wife visited Kami Maki on 31 Aug 2023. We usually go to Sushi Kai or Samurai for Sushi, but as we were around, Horton Place gave this place a try. When we entered the place, it was warm inside as if the ac was turned off. Once we sat and asked for the menu, the water said they were out of salmon. Sushi joint salmon??? But we still decided to see past that and order. When we were ready to order, the same person told us that they were out of Tuna and Prawns as well. And pretty much only Chicken and Baramundi was in stock. Frustrated, we still ordered their Terriyaki Chicken sushi rolls, Gyoza (dumplings), and crab toast. The sushi rolls were more like mini rolls. The toasts had a barely there layer of crab. Dumplings was the only dish that was OK. When questioned about the ac, the person said the ac was switched on, and it was still cooling and coming up to the working temperature. Bul[S#!t as we were there for nearly 45 mins, and it was warm throughout. One of the worst experiences and would never recommend this Joint.
