HAMA SUSHI

Pretty disappointed, we were told our table would be ready soon/ in a few minutes and we ended up waiting 1h30 for a table of 3. (On a Monday) Multiple groups of two were served before us even tho they arrived after us. The food ended up being pretty average, and I was expecting better given how nice the atmosphere was. Honestly would not come back

Great quality at reasonable prices. One of the best softshell crab rolls I've had in recent memory. I'll come here again. There's often a wait and groups of 3 or more need to get on the list early.

Best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. This place was life changing and left me speechless with every bite. Every penny was so worth it and I will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere, service, and food all felt very authentic.

OMGGGGGGGGGG! What service, FLAVOR, and quality.
It was hands down a mind blowing experience. Thank you to everyone at Hama that delivered excellence!

An excellent and authentic experience for sushi in the style you would see in Japan. Signs at the entrance set expectations (no teriyaki, no tempura, no noodles) to avoid disappointment from people looking for a more standard Americanized Japanese dining experience. No spicy mayonnaise, sweet eel sauce basted rolls here (though those do have their moment elsewhere in Little Tokyo). Nigirizushi and sashimi dominate the menu with mostly bar seating. 3-4 sushi chefs manage sections of the bar and will freshly prepare sushi from breaking down the fish to putting it on your platter. Ambiance and service are to Japanese tastes. The waitlist is based around having a name on a written list and waiting for your name to be called. No electronic contact or list monitoring. Arrive at opening or be prepared to wait. Prices are standard for this quality of sushi which is to say that the meal will be a special occasion.
