Horrible service – Went here the other night, and won't be back. The waitress was horrible, never came to check on us or get us more drinks, despite forgetting one persons drink through the entire meal. It took us forever to track her down for the check, which was double what it should have cost. When I asked her to see an itemized breakdown of the cost of the sushi we ordered, she suddenly forgot how to speak english. All of the people at our table found this odd considering she took our orders and answered our questions in... read more

Best food in town Food is amazing. Every time I come here, I feel like I never want to leave. Very chic atmosphere with a relaxing mood. The service is great and the staff really does a terrific job at taking care of you. The appetizers are delicious. Theres plenty of places to park: theres a parking lot across the street and a parkin garage up the street within walking distance. Most of the time I find myself looking at my watch waiting for the food to come, but here I was so entertained with the fun atmosphere that I was p... read more

Great Sushi Rolls – Albacore, Spicy Tuna Roll, Monk Fish Liver are all great. Don't ask for rice, b/c for some reason they will get mad at you. It may be some kind of Japanse sushi thing, b/c I upset another sushi chef at sasa bune for asking for soy sauce. I think it's like asking for steak sauce at a high end steakhouse. lol. Anyhow, it's my favorite sushi place for quality and value.

Lovely gem in Little Tokyo – I've made it a point to try every single restaurant in Little Tokyo, and Hama Sushi was stop one on my list. Hama is very much a hole in the wall, with a sushi bar and not much else. The sushi chefs prepare the fish with such care and precision. The result is beautiful and ridiculously tasty, whether it is slices of albacore or a salmon roll. The menu at Hama is no-frills. You won't find teriyaki bowls and crazy rolls here, but it is a must-visit for die hard sushi lovers. Just know in advance --... read more

FABULOUS! – Hama has the best and the freshest sushi in LA. A small, sushi bar, don't expect to order anything but sushi at a very reasonable price in a very relaxed atmosphere.

Unique & Tantalizing Sushi – I travel the country for business and am weekly sushi eater. I strongly recommend Hama sushi for anyone who appreciates great raw fish. They have amazingly creative rolls (like the Strawberry Roll in Ponzu sauce), and pair customized oils and homeade sauces with fish in a completely unique way. They are masters at making each bite worth savoring.....and everything is FRESH. The bamboo cold sake is a must have accompaniment for your meal. I even overheard the head sushi chef talking about a book h... read more

Rude service with just average sushi – We stumbled upon this place on a Sunday evening in search of a sushi restaurant when Komasa next door had a long wait for a table and Sushi Gen was closed. The hostess had a seating system and was quite unfriendly and vocal to my friend when he unknowingly moved to sit on the left side of me at the sushi bar (which is the only seating option available at this place). That was just the start of our disappointing experience. The evening proceeded with the sushi chef giving me attitude bec... read more

Raised Prices a lot! – I used to like this place because it was really reasonably priced and great sushi for its price. However, I went last night on a Sunday because Daikokuya was closed and ordered a decent amount of sushi only to find they had significantly raised their prices when my bill came. I had no idea they raised the prices since you order directly to the sushi chef and do not get a sushi list. If you are going to dish out this sort of money you are better served going to Sushi Gen or Sushi Go 55.
