Kaminari Japanese Cuisine

Delicious, fresh, great quality. Kind of a funky place for Algonquin - seems like it would be in the city with the hip music, dim lighting, and great drink selections.

I come here every time I come home to visit my family. We are huge fans of the firemountain roll. I also really like the spicy scallop roll and the futo maki. Sashimi and Nigiri is always fresh and light. Also, the side salads have the best dressing.

I have to say this place is among the best in the area, and very pricey. The sushi offerings here are very creative and very delicious. The decor in the back booths is dark, very dark, keep that in mind. The service here was friendly but very slow, still not what I would say is bad.

Kaminari is so delicious!!!! Really fresh, and high quality food :)

The first couple times I've been there was when they first opened, and they were going for the super dark and classy kind of ambiance. But it was too dark!! My party and I were straining so hard to just read the menu, we were all sitting there with our cell phones out trying to light up the menu, or using the little candles on the tables to read by candlelight lol!! It was so silly!! A couple months later when I went back, they added some dim lighting, so I guess they caught on that it was too dark inside haha!!

The dishes themselves are beautifully crafted, I always really pay attention to and appreciate plating styles and aesthetics. The food is also very fresh, and before you complain about the prices, realize that you get what you pay for! It is fresh, delicious, and totally worth every penny :)
