Quality and delicious food in an intimate setting. Soba Kamakura is a great experience for people who want a taste of authentic Japanese food. I highly recommend the Kamakura Gozen set and you won't regret it. A 2-person Kamakura Gozen set costs P2,880 excluding 12% VAT and includes an appetizer, salads, soup, main dish, dessert, and tea. Make a reservation a week earlier as they are often full.

Our experience was fantastic. From the food to the ambience and the staff were just great. Even the head chef ran out to see us off. A real gem in Cebu. Never expected something like this here. It's better than anywhere else I've dined here in Cebu. The food was very delicious I don't have anything bad to say about it. 😅 That's how good it is. From the prepping, plating, service and taste was all on point. Overall it was a 10/10 experience. Thank you for giving us and my partner a good birthday dinner. 😊

Small fine dining area, but the quality is top-notch! Service is great and food is not bad. This has been my second time eating and not much has changed, meaning that they have perfected their dish. The basque cheesecake was new and small. I would say that I was expecting something else and delicious to try and the first time would always be the best.

Best Japanese restaurant in Cebu! I can't really say anything else other than you must give it a try! Make reservations as seats are very limited!

One of the best Japanese restaurant. Each dish is carefully prepared. The unagi reminded me of the one I had in Japan.

Best authentic Japanese in Cebu. The set menu is excellent. Soba is definitely the standout here. Next time will try the sashimi. As others have said, the place is tiny, you can really only fit a maximum of 12 people in here at a time so make sure you book ahead

We’ve been coming here for years and we always get the marinated tuna and the soba. Everything else is good but those two are our favorite. It is easy to get full from the noodles but don’t skip the dessert. Try the cheesecake with the salt. 👌👌👌

A Japanese restaurant,The remote location requires reservations and is hard to find. The set meal is average. My favorite is tea and cake.

An intimate place. Seats only 10 people. The chef owner personally prepares the food.

If you are looking for authentic Japanese food, here is the place to be. You need to make a booking in advance and inform them the food you would like the chef to prepare. The main course (soba with dipping sauce) is really good. I highly recommend this place for a truly authentic and affordable Japanese food experience.

THE BEST JAPANESE RESTAURANT IN THE WHOLE OF CEBU. And I'm not even exaggerating. This place gave me the best japanese food experience by far. Worth its price. 11/10 Highly recommended! Will definitely be back to try the other set ❤️

One of the best Japanese restos in Cebu! Seating is limited to make sure you call ahead. Good quality food, fresh ingredients, excellent selections. Recommend getting the set meals, they do allow for some substitutions.

Soba K continues to deliver quality: taste, simple plating and speed. Maybe due to current dietary attention, the portions seemed bigger . Though we had to demolish all what we ordered. Beef soba, pork soba, dobinmushi, gyudon , even their biggest bento set Shiki Gozen.. For sure we'll be back another day to sample the unagi which was sorely missed due to shortages.

I always try to go to Kamakura when I'm in Cebu. It's always an inspiring and mind-blowing experience when I eat here. Really really good food, impeccable service and chill ambiance.
