"Hama Sushi tells you everything with a sign out front: “No Tempura, No Teriyaki. No Noodle, No Rice Alone. Only Sushi, Sashimi.” It almost reads like a poem. Needless to say, raw fish is the specialty here, and you can eat like a baby prince for around $50 per person. You place your order via sheet, so try to grab a seat at the bar and get to X-ing. Get a $30 sushi set meal, which comes with a combination of various nigiri, plus a California roll that’s silky as a Bruno Mars/Anderson Paak collab. But don’t skip out on more creative options, like the gigantic soft-shell crab roll or albacore sashimi with ponzu." - cathy park, brant cox
