I absolutely loved their sliding doors and atmosphere as soon as I stepped in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The sashimi I ordered was very good, tasted fresh. Will definitely come back again!

Camon Japanese restaurant is definitely an unassuming and small eatery, but it’s punching way above its weight class! The sushi here is top-notch and I would come here again weekly if I was local. Located in Downtown Columbia near USC, they boast some of the finest sushi around. Every type we had was mouth-watering. Our favorite by far was the Camon II roll and the salmon nigiri. Absolutely divine flavors and so fresh. Another top contender was the Dragon roll with crispy fried eel. What made this experience even greater was the intimate setting with calming music and an expert waitstaff. Our server gave us many recommendations and all of them were good and the chef himself gave some insight as to why he prepares his dishes this way. I can’t wait to come back and sip some green tea while I devour more sushi! Follow me on Instagram @gullaheatschs

I enjoyed the food here, which was what I expected from a sushi bar. Our server was kind, but didn’t check in often. Hot green tea was complimentary. The food took a long time to arrive, and it didn’t seem like a busy dinner service. Some members of my party finished eating before others received their food. The atmosphere was a bit dark and there was a generally unclean smell.

This place is a well kept secret. This my friends, is the best and the freshest sushi in Columbia. I been to practically all the sushi places, but this place is my go to. Come and try them out. All the university students frequent here too! That’s how I found out.

Initiates an authentic experience with a cute sliding door and relaxing music — the staff also dresses in traditional garb. However I was taken aback when I asked for white sauce (I double checked by asking for yum yum/shrimp sauce) and they said that this sauce “is not a thing.” I’ve never been to a Japanese restaurant without white sauce, have you? Anyway, the sushi was really good, but not so good that it wouldn’t have been better with white sauce. Also, I would prefer seeing a menu with all the prices.

My new favorite sushi spot. It’s family owned and the food is fantastic. You can really taste the freshness of the seafood they use and you can note the true skill of the sushi chef/itamae. They take their craft seriously here! Love, love love. Try the Camon III.

Awesome place! Food was delicious, staff was super nice, atmosphere was calm and relaxing with the music and table privacy dividers. Also everything was very reasonably priced. I don’t ever really write reviews for stuff online but this place earned it!
