What a fun place. Brett, Erica, Sam, and Amadeus feature innovative cocktails that change periodically with a cool speakeasy vibe. Great atmosphere modeled after 1930's Japan. I'm not a sake drinker but they have an amazing collection in addition to the craft cocktail menu. Snacky food is available and Asa Bakery (attached) has some yummy pastries , entrees, and soft serve as well.

Wow, wow, wow! Reserved for 5, showed up as 4 and was seated right away. Our late guest was allowed in as well, drinks are fun! Most people got 2 rounds. We ordered a bunch of food to split between the table. The fries are bomb! The Mediterranean harumaki are to die for. Service was fast and friendly, decor was on point. 5 of us, most got 2 drinks, food for the table. Totaling around 200 bucks. Would do it again and again!

Intimate and memorable experience at craft bar kamon. Made a reservation for 2 at 5:30 when they opened and was promptly greeted and provided with great service from start to finish. The korean cucumber salad and chicken karaage were both delicious and flavorful. The bartenders improvised amazing mocktails for my partner and my cocktails were all excellent and high quality. The new bartender they were training was also so sweet and made me a birthday shot that was amazing ! Cannot wait to come back.
