About Kemuri

 

Kemuri is a Japanese and Asian Fusion restaurant situated in the Ice House Revival Building in the historic Hillcrest area of Little Rock, Arkansas. Armed with two kitchens, Kemuri boasts award-winning Sushi, Seafood, and Japanese cuisine.  


Opened in August of 2014, Kemuri quickly gained momentum as a popular mainstay of the Hillcrest community. This established restaurant changed ownership in 2019 and has remained dedicated to serving high-quality food and customer care to the local community.  


Offering dinner service 7 nights a week, Kemuri aims to delight our patrons with delicious menu items, exciting weekend specials, and a quality dining experience in our restaurant. 

 

Looking towards the future, Kemuri is aiming to create unforgettable experiences with our monthly Speakeasy Nights, First Thursday Events, and the Omakase Dining Experience (coming soon!)
