Brought family here while they were visiting Columbia because we wanted them to have what we felt was the best and most authentic sushi in Columbia. We had always enjoyed Camon when we had tried it before. This time though... It just wasn't as good. The food and offerings were still authentic and more traditional (not as many fried rolls for instance). But my understanding is that it is under new management and I think it's just not as good as it once was, unfortunately.

It’s hard to describe an experience that is so surprisingly DELICIOUS and authentic but I’ll do my best… from the moment you enter and slide the screen door to the right, you see the professional sushi chef and bar along with various artifacts from Japan. When the owner and father of said sushi chef kindly invites you to sit down and serves green tea with matcha, you feel at home. The simple carbon copy menu where you write your order shows the restaurant’s humble roots but you have no idea the exquisite meal you’re about to experience. We enjoyed the dragon roll, canlon 3, calamari roll and a huge roll called the Columbia roll. We talked about the owners life experiences, the chef’s life experiences, one of their customers who was also an employee‘s life experiences and ate and ate and ate and enjoyed every minute. Everything was melt in your mouth delicious and the delicacies impressed us throughout the night. We separately tried a salmon nigiri and yellow fin sashimi which was also unbelievable!! To finish it off we enjoyed vanilla ice cream with red beans called Ozuki maybe? It’s honestly the best sushi I’ve ever had. Yummmmm…

Was a wonderful experience, the service was very good, the food was nice, but the place, was like a little corner of Japan, like when you are in one of those little restaurants in Nishiki Market Kioto/ Japan.Overall a great experience.Tuesday Jan 25/ 2022

My wife and I were looking for some good sushi... Glad we stopped here. Camon seemed pretty quiet and laid back. We got appetizers and 4 different sushi rolls. It was prepared fairly quickly and our waiter was very kind.

They have the best sushi I have ever had! Everyone here was so nice and friendly! Chris was the best waiter! He was so helpful and kind. I would absolutely recommend Camon! And we will definitely be back!

This japanese restaurant is one of our favorites. Tonight was very special, we ordered the candy roll, rainbow roll, life saver roll, crunchy and other flavors of sushi. The atmosphere was perfect. Soothing calm ambiance. The staff always nice and perfect timing for ordering and arriving at the table. Tempura dinner A is a soberb dish with flash fried vegetables,fish and shrimp. You need to choose soup or salad and you have a little rice portion as well. I really recommend this place and our family is always happy to eat here.

Tasty food and great service. Their prices are pretty good too. I see why they won BEST OF COLUMBIA for their sushi!

Camon is my favorite sushi restaurant in Columbia. The rolls here are bar none, unequivocally, the best. The atmosphere here is also wonderful. It's cozy and the service is quick. My favorite roll is the Dragon. You literally cannot go wrong with that. Also, start off with some egg rolls. Their egg rolls are fantastic!All in all, Camon is an amazing experience with equal food to compliment it. If you're looking for good sushi close by, Camon has to be on your list.

Visited about a week ago and was really disappointed. The udon was really bland. I don’t remember which sushi roll I had, but it was so/so - nothing better than grocery store sushi, sorry to say. Meal came with a sad, little iceberg salad without toppings. I tried my friend’s two rolls and still wasn’t impressed (especially by the funky flavor of the imitation crab in it). I tried her tofu too, and I can’t even tell how it was prepared. It just tasted like heated silken tofu slathered with teriyaki. We were also surprised to see her side of vegetables was just canned mixed vegetables like they serve with school lunches. The prices were high considering both the amount and quality of the food. Additionally, the staff was friendly, which is great! However, they spent a lot of time going over the ordering process, which was a little odd.
