Kemuri is a casual, nicely decorated Japanese restaurant located in Hillcrest. Soft blue colors and a large aquarium create a peaceful atmosphere. The restaurant specializes in fresh seafood flown in daily and a Japanese grilling style called robata, a practice that involves slow cooking food over charcoal. The sushi comes from the nearby sister restaurant Ocean where Chef Alex plays with tradition and offers his own subtle interpretation of classic dishes.

If you are looking for romantic date night ideas in Little Rock AR, this is a great place to try. Kemuri’s Chef Greg Wallis creates small pieces of art using succulent, fresh ingredients. Try his Hamachi tartar or signature ceviche. This is Japanese food adapted to an American and Arkansas palate, with interesting and delicious results.
