    I always feel bad when I have to write a review like this... but I really wasn't impressed with my lunch today. This place had a pretty high star rating, so I was expecting alot- but the food, nor the restaurant itself- met my expectations. I ordered the Tempura Shrimp/Vegetable Bento Box... Best: Shrimp Tempura, crispy and light. Dumplings- the meat inside had a good savory flavor. Worst: The Tempura veggies... mushy and didn't taste fresh. The salads ginger dressing was bland. The sushi was just ok. I only ate one piece. And the bowl of sauce on the side had a flavor that I did not desire. I wish the sauce that was on the Dumplings, was the one in that bowl! The restaurant itself needs some improvements. All the booths were well worn and thats putting it nicely. A plus is that the waitress was nice and came over several times to check on me!

    I had a good time. The atmosphere was nice and quiet and there was a ton of food selections. I had the hibachi with steak and shrimp and it was delicious. The only thing that I would have preferred is for my meats to be mixed in with my noodles but that's just me being nit picky. The sake samples were also a plus

    Deliciousness!

    This was my first time eating sushi here, and was pleasant to find that their sushi was pretty good. Not the best but not the worst. Environment was cozy, and it gave me a vibe of a small mom and pop sushi place I love in Dallas, TX. Staff was friendly and the sushi ordering process went through without any issues. Not much to rave on about it, but it's a place that is doable when you need to get a sushi fix. You won't be disappointed.

    Super delicious Sushi Pizza. Piled high with raw fish, def bang for the buck

    Kaminari is set in an unassuming strip mall off the interstate. Upon emerging we were warmly greeted by the staff. The restaurant was appropriately lit with a welcoming ambiance. We were seated in some uncomfortable booths set at a 90 degree angle, we reseated ourselves at a nearby table, which wasn't an issue bc there was one waitress. Reviewing the sushi menu but not wanting rice we opted for the Sushi Pizza, it was so delectable. The "crust" was a base flat bread with less of flavor but more for structure. It was topped with an abundance of fresh fish; tuna, massago, avocado, cucumber and another white fish. It was well worth $11. My husband had the sesame chicken which he gave three stars bc "all I could taste was the fried breading the soy sauce in the fried rice". We tried the Lsu roll, it was ok. Typical Baton Rouge fried, cream cheese, imitation crab etc etc etc. I honestly do believe the sushi options are worth exploring more.

We met the owner, Shelly, who is originally from China, and she was incredibly warm and welcoming. What really surprised us was that they served us fresh wasabi instead of the usual paste -- I've never had that before, and it was amazing. Once you try it fresh, you can never go back. Our server, Dashay, was fantastic -- kind, attentive, and just such a lovely young woman. We started with hot sake and Kirin draft beer, then ordered a spicy tuna roll and a hamachi (yellowtail and scallion) roll, both of which were excellent. We also had tempura -- the batter was a little thick for my personal taste, but the sauces were so good that it still hit the spot. My favorite dish was the ama ebi (sweet shrimp), especially because they bring out the fried shrimp head, which was crispy and delicious. The sushi was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully balanced. Between the amazing food and the genuine hospitality, we had such a wonderful evening. I can absolutely see why this is Parker's favorite sushi spot in Gonzales. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely be back.

I've always wanted to try this place and finally had the chance to. I went in at 10:30am as soon as they opened. I got the cove platter with the 3 meats. I chose chicken katsu, chicken teriyaki, and kalbi. I asked for brown rice instead of white and it came with a side of macaroni salad. The chicken katsu was very well fried. Very crunchy still since I made the trip to work and was able to still enjoy that crunch. The kalbi was okay it was marinated from what I could tell but I wasn't getting too much flavor from the meat. It was tender but it didn't have those grill marks or the char I was looking for. The chicken Teriyaki was a bit on the drier side for me. I was expecting the chicken to be in a sauce but it wasn't. It also didn't have that typical teriyaki flavor. They did put a sauce on the side im not sure what it was. It didn't stick to the chicken and the rice soaked it all up. The macaroni salad was a disappointment it was on the dry side with just egg and maybe a relish of some sort but that was it. I had to add a salt and pepper but still it was dry. The dumplings were the best thing, it comes with a tasty sweet chili sauce. The kimchi appeared to be old and didn't have flavor at all I didn't eat it. Unfortunately I may not be back.

We ordered the big family meal, which online states that it's $44.99 for 3 large entrees and 2 large sides, and 6 egg rolls for $10. We called and placed our order, the woman on the phone didn't mention the $6 up-charge for an entree with shrimp. The online menu says it's $2 extra for small entrees (we got large) or sides with shrimp (we didn't have a side with shrimp we got the bang bang shrimp as an entree we only got plain fried rice and noodles as our 2 sides). We get there to pay and it's $70! She then admits that the online menus/prices are wrong and the big family meal is $49.99 and there's a $6 up-charge for entrees with shrimp which should have been mentioned on the phone and is funny because the shrimp was the best thing we got. Our beef and broccoli was very watery for some reason but the general tso chicken isn't bad, better than the fried rice. Overall I really wouldn't spend my money here.

    Review strictly on service…read more.. I've ordered to-go food from this restaurant, as I've done many times in the past, and selected a pickup time between 7:00-7:15 pm. Around 6:00 pm, I received a text message that my order was almost ready. Confused, I called the restaurant to confirm that I had, in fact, selected the correct pick up time. The staff member confirmed that I did; however, the food was ready. I then told the staff member that I would be unable to pick up the food until at least 7:00 pm due to work. Her response? They already made the food and there was nothing she could do expect REHEAT it. Reheat sushi? Reheat. The. Sushi. I politely told the staff member that I would not be picking up the food and that she can cancel my order. She said "okay, have a nice day" and then laughed. About an hour and 45 minutes later, I received another phone call asking when I would be able to pick up the food. I explained that I already spoke to someone and told them to cancel my order due to them making my order an hour before the requested time. She put me on hold to speak to someone, came back, said "okay have a nice day", and hung up. Reheated sushi? Salad sitting out... No thanks. Very disappointing on how it was handled. Don't think I'll be ordering to- go food from this restaurant.
