The pasta is delicious as always! The carbonara is rich but not heavy, easy to eat. Whether you use a fork or chopsticks, I thought it would be nice if they gave you a spoon by default. I know lunchtime is busy, but there was no bread at all for the all-you-can-eat bread… The baskets were sparse or empty. It felt like they couldn't keep up. There was a menu-like chart with photos of the bread posted, but honestly it's hard to understand, so I'd be happy if they separated the bread into baskets by type and labeled each basket with the bread's name. I also wish they'd announce freshly baked bread a little louder.

It's partly my fault for forgetting to mention it, but I ordered a pasta that could be swapped, intending to change it to fettuccine, but nobody checked with me and it came as regular pasta. It's a location where you take the bread yourself, and there was a POP sign saying bread comes out of the oven every 10~15 minutes, but I stayed about an hour and not once did any new bread come out. The glass was super dirty. A crumb of bread that wasn't mine was stuck to the inside of the glass. I've been to 4~5 of their locations, and aside from staff attitude, this was the most disappointing one🥲

I love Kamakura Pasta, but this location had so many issues you could fairly call it a completely different restaurant. It wasn't clean, and even though there were few customers inside, we were made to wait before being seated, and for some reason there were lots of food crumbs on the table they'd just wiped. If you're going to do it, do it properly. The water was so lukewarm I couldn't tell when it had been poured. When I asked for small plates for the pasta and Tabasco, the plates were all different sizes and they forgot the Tabasco. Eating pasta in that mood, I kept worrying whether they were even making it properly, so it tasted below average. The surrounding tables didn't seem properly cleared either — wet with water, floor cushions all over the place, slippers facing every which way. There were plenty of staff, but they all seemed busy chatting. I won't be going to this location again. Too many unpleasant things.

I love the cream pasta with sea urchin and popping tarako, and whenever I go to Kamakura Pasta I always end up ordering just this. My kid likes the bacon and cheese tomato carbonara and often orders it. The freshly baked bread is delicious too. The atmosphere inside is calm, so you can take your time and relax. There's also tatami (zashiki) seating.

I've been here many times. There's also a branch closer by, but here you go get the bread yourself, so you can pick without holding back. Also, they keep baking batch after batch, so there are lots of different kinds lined up.
