This restaurant is welcoming, has a cozy atmosphere, and friendly service. Their menu variety is good and the pricing is reasonable. Since it was our first, we took our time ordering the food. We started off with one order of Spam Musubi which was yummy. Then, for entrées, we got a Poké Bowl, Da OG Plate, and Aloha Mixed Plate (see my photos). The Poké Bowl was fresh and flavorful. The Da OG Plate had delicious and flavorful Huli Huli Chicken and grilled Pork Belly. Both were on point with the flavor and texture. Nicely cooked and delicious. I had the Aloha Mixed Plate and the beer battered fish and Pulehu Short Ribs were quite tasty, especially the ribs. I also had the Huli Huli Chicken that was really good. It was an awesome meal overall and we enjoyed it. We received good service and the food made us want to come back for more (which we will). Da Local Boy is a great addition to Highwood's culinary scene. You got to check it out.

There's rice and protein, rolled up in a wrap, but the wrap is seaweed, the rice is sticky, and there's no spice or heat, or even warmth. Didn't work for me. On the other hand, I know nothing about poke, other than what I've had here, and their poke bowls are delicious. Flavorful, zesty, complex, fresh, just really nice, and you can get them however you like. In between, I know a little bit about ramen, and the ramen here is just OK. Has the salty umami goodness, lacks a little in the tastiness of the noodles, could really use better eggs. But it's clearly the best ramen for miles around and you can get it to go with a bowl of poke so it's ok by me. Likewise their sushi is decent for take out. Just rolls, no sashimi or nigiri, and it's fresh enough and tasty, but nothing to write home about. So everybody in the family can get something they want, and it's all pretty good or better, and ready quick. Poke Burrito is a standby for us, we're glad they're nearby.

Every item in the bowl adds something and created a symphony of flavors. I found it to be satisfying and well worth the price. I think I found a new regular go to! I started with the sushi rice, then added the spicy chicken. Then I chose edamame, tofu, green onion, carrot, and added avocado. Sauces I went all out, with the Gochujang, OG sauce, Sriracha Aioli, and the Sweet Chili Sauce. And for toppings I went with the crispy onions, wonton strips, tempura flakes, and sesame seeds. 100% satisfaction, 100% tasty!

Overall I made a pretty tasty bowl and I will come back for another combination.

I really like that you have a lot to choose from, and the included amount was decent. Like, you can pick up to five different toppings like edamame, pineapple, etc, up to three different proteins, toppings like tempura flakes, and different types of rice, including purple rice, which was great. I went with black rice, pineapple, masago, green onions, edamame, salmon, tuna, tofu, and some spicy sriracha. It was delicious. My son loved his poke bowl, but he did say he wished there was more rice. Overall, food was great, service was good, and the overall dining experience is worth a revisit. BATHROOM REVIEW: Located near the back, there is a men's and women's bathroom. In the men's, there is a urinal and a toilet. I always wondered whether to lock the door behind me in these situations. Well, I couldn't anyways, as the lock was broken. So I peed as quick as possible, to avoid being walked-in on. The toilet handle was hard to press but thankfully I got to the gym and it paid off here. Sit or squat? Squat.

I normally don't enjoy takeout sushi as it's one of the foods I find tastes best eaten where it's made. That said, I thought I'd give it a go and put in my order when I arrived to ensure everything was fresh. For food we ordered the gyoza, crispy spicy tuna, spicy tuna roll, spicy salmon roll, and shrimp tempura roll. All were good but my g favorites were crispy spicy tuna and spicy tuna roll. The rolls are also very large fyi! Would definitely go back as I'm curious to try their poke.

The restaurant itself always looks clean and it's nice and quiet, although I'm always in a rush - I never get a chance to really sit down and eat here. I think the portions are a good sized, they give a lot of good options, the fish has always been fresh. Definitely a good healthy option.

For our entrees, we both ordered sushi. I wish I could remember the name of the roll I ordered, but it disappeared from my mind the moment my friend's food came.

Twenty pieces in all, but substantially more food than you'd expect from two rolls. And, it was really, really good! We ended up sharing both of our entrees, and had an entire crunch roll leftover to bring home. A few weeks later, I'm still thinking about that spicy crunch.

The staff is friendly, attentive, & especially great about accommodating allergies, which never feels like an afterthought & makes the experience that much better. Overall, it's just a good experience from start to finish. Kamehachi has been around forever, & it shows in the best way. A reliable go-to for Japanese food in the area that always delivers.
