Hamono Sushi

Whoa Portland! This is the best sushi experience I've had in years. That's right years! As I write, they are offering an All you can eat Omakase dinner that is amazing. 1. The range of fish offered was amazing. Including some Sea Bream! 2. The quality of the fish is AAA+. 3. The owner/operators are right there checking on your order, pouring sake and chatting with customers. 4. The kitchen chefs were exceeding all expectations as well. Hamano is my new favororite PNW-Portland sushi bar. I really encourage you to try it if you love sushi. The place is not very large so go early or be prepared for a crowd. It was packed at 5pm when I had dinner!

A new favorite spot for endless amounts of nigiri 🤤 Quality was so good. I still can't believe they offer an AYCE Omakase, so I'll definitely be coming here more often. The staff and chefs are sooo nice and accommodating. Also, some of the best sushi rice I've ever had. Truly the best consistency and flavor. Will definitely be back!

We have been to countless Omakase across the West Coast (think famous places in California and Seattle) and chef Jimmy still surprised us with his amazing nigiri. Each piece is crafted with care, the rice is well seasoned, the fish is fresh (or aged with great techniques) and the highest possible quality of ingredients. You’ll find the fanciest of stuffs here, from Japanese A5 Wagyu, Madai, Hokkaido Uni, King Salmon, to Ootoro, Shima Aji, Spot prawn, Buri-hiri (a rare type of fish), and many more. Chef Jimmy is proud of having the best selections of sashimi-grade fishes flying daily from Japan that I have seen. And it shows. Their sake selection is also excellent, just ask the chef ;) Did I mention it’s also AYCE? Yeah you don’t hear it wrong. Every single expensive cut of fish, even the Uni or A5 wagyu, are served AYCE style. You could have as much or as little if you wanted.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing! The sake was outstanding and perfectly complimented the delicate fish. The fish was out of this world! Everything is flown in fresh daily and you can absolutely taste the quality! I’ve paid more for less but in quality and amount of food. Sprint, don’t run to book your table!

The restaurant has such a beautiful interior — I especially loved the flowers hanging from the ceiling. 🌸 I tried the $100 omakase course today. It started with a miso soup with crab meat, followed by 8 pieces of nigiri, then a chawanmushi (steamed egg), and another 3 pieces of nigiri to finish. Including 3 glasses of sake. (If not you can get beer instead) For me, the quality was just okay — not amazing, but decent. However, the fact that they offer all-you-can-eat after the course makes it a great value for anyone who can eat a lot! The staff were very attentive and kept checking if I wanted to order more. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

We had a great experience last night. The food was phenomenal. We loved everything we had. The servers were very nice and welcoming. They made us very comfortable ordering more. The only downside is the waiting time. I personally do not like spending 2.5 - 3 hours at the restaurant. I think they can serve more customers if they improve their speed. I noticed that everyone has to wait at least 30 minutes for the first course. Overall, with the price, it is 100% worth it. Definitely coming back again.

Best sushi I’ve had in my life! The owner is super sweet, kind, and cares about the craft of fish. They have the best green tea mochi too! 11/10 would recommend

Can’t believe we have never eaten here before! It was great! Really quite delicious and fresh. Nathan is a gracious and knowledgeable host. We took all of his suggestions and they were all spot on. The atmosphere is cute but small, so I hesitate telling you how good it is😏 We’ll be back!

My friend told my about a sushi place in Portland that did Omakase and AYCE. I thought surely that she meant Omakase OR AYCE. Nope. She meant "and". It's too good to be true. Except it's all real. This is some of the best sushi I have ever had in the country. It is so good here. Everything is so extremely fresh. Nothing tasted fishy. And most importantly, the rice was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Perfect little toothsome grains of short grain rice. We got 13 unique pieces of delicious omakase, including the legendary A5 Miyazaki Wagyu nigiri, with the most delicious miso soup I've ever had which had king crab inside, and even a steamed egg palate cleanser with uni, salmon eggs, and scallops. Let me tell you, ordering all you can eat after an already delicious omakase is absolutely genius. The quality of the AYCE food was just as amazing as the omakase. The rolls were absolutely delicious and plump with fresh fish, and ordering A5 wagyu from an AYCE menu almost feels wrong. They limit you to 2 toro hand rolls (a must get if you ask me) throughout the night, and 3 pieces of the "premium" section per order. The premium section has king salmon and A5 Wagyu and other delicious expensive items. Like, do these guys hate making money? (I never said that please don't raise your prices) I'd say for $100, yes it's objectively a lot of money. But for this quality of omakase AND AYCE of this quality?? That's kind of a steal. Such a good location and cute ambiance for a date night. Oh I almost forgot your omakase comes with 3 sakes! Or beer or wine! Like??? Come on. Stop sitting on your butt and go to Hamono sushi already. This weekend.

The restaurant has such a beautiful interior -- I especially loved the flowers hanging from the ceiling. I tried the $100 omakase course today. It started with a miso soup with crab meat, followed by 8 pieces of nigiri, then a chawanmushi (steamed egg), and another 3 pieces of nigiri to finish. For me, the quality was just okay -- not amazing, but decent. However, the fact that they offer all-you-can-eat after the course makes it a great value for anyone who can eat a lot! The staff were very attentive and kept checking if I wanted to order more. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. Including 3 glasses of sake.

For AYCE omakase, this place gives you a good value and variety. You get to choose from apps like karage, tempura, takotaki to udon to nigiri, Fish was fresh and flavorful. Services was amazing because it's a pretty small restaurant with only a few tables. So definitely recommend getting a reservation: Price is $100 per person but also comes with 3 sample sake or 1 beer.

I think this was a good one time experience. It is AYCE so perhaps the $100 pp is justified. The omakase was alright. It came with a sake pairing and they were quite generous. The staff was super efficient and very tentative. Everything came out pretty quickly. I enjoyed the ratio of rice to fish.

Yooo this place is IT. We got to experience their omakase / AYCE experience, and it was amazing. You'll need to make reservations for this experience, and I highly recommend reservations even if you're not doing this experience because the space is small and cozy. Very cute--reminds me of being back in Japan. The quality of the fish was so good, and they served some creative items that were fun to try. My favorite is always the bellies/toro. I highly recommend their mochi ice cream. It's not like the store-bought ones and are potentially freshly made? Although it was pricey ($100 pp), we would definitely come back.

What an amazing sushi dinner! We were able to get a table as a walk in and we were just delighted! The restaurant is small so I was pretty sure we were going to have to wait but we were lucky! We didn't get to try out the Omakase but ordering a la carte was just as delicious! The waiter was very friendly! The fish is extremely fresh. I will be back to try the omakase!

This is a very small restaurant with limited seating, so although one isn't required I would make a reservation. I came in, alone, with no reservation and was almost not seated. Luckily, I was able to have a seat at the sushi bar. Although I am glad I was able to be seated, there are four chairs at the sushi bar and two are facing a wall. The food was great, I especially liked the Omakase 5pieces of nigiri. They also had a really great selection of sake, although I wasn't able to try this time. Four stars since I did not like staring at the wall...

Reservations for their omakase AYCE ($100/person). They do walk ins for regular menu but limited to bar seating and it was pretty busy the whole time we were there. *very limited space in restaurant, maybe 23 seats total? They start you off with the preset omakase which was (11 pieces) then you could order anything off the AYCE menu (with the caveat that each person could only order 3 pieces of the "market special" each per round). We stayed for 2 hours and ate many rounds of sushi - between the two of us we had 46 pieces of nigiri, 1 negitoro roll and dessert. We ate till we were mildly uncomfortable but didn't hate ourselves lol. The limiting factor being the speed of service but all the better that we had that to pace ourselves or I might've needed to be carried out. There was a paired sake add on for the meal but we didn't do that, 3 different sakes. Not sure how long they'll do this omakase AYCE but the quality/value is def worth it!!!

$100 for an omakase with sake included is a good deal, and having an AYCE menu in case you're still hungry is incredible. The fish was fresh and prepared well--I didn't need to add soy sauce or wasabi to any of the pieces. I did think that the nigiri cuts on the ACYE menu weren't as high quality as what they served during the omakase courses, but I enjoyed the extras I ordered, especially the uni and toro hand roll. Hospitality and service were excellent. I definitely recommend making a reservation because seating is limited. I'll definitely be back.

Excellent, if not a bit wallet-burning dining experience on a weekday night. Had a 6 o'clock reservation, came in early and were sat at the counter in front of the chef - our favorite. Omakase plus AYCE. The flavors and presentation were well done - make sure you get the mackerel and the scallops! Cost isn't for the faint of heart but the experience makes for memorable happy thoughts.

10/10 would make an omakase reservation again. The server Nate's the GOAT. Thanks for making a special night even more specialier. I'm not a cheesecake fan but he convinced me to get the green tea cheesecake which was imported from Japan and now I have to like, go there and steal the recipe or something. Loved all the fish, love the mackerel, it's one of my fav fishes from childhood and it was so lovely to see it elevated. Also I'm gonna cry, I'll never have top tier miso soup like that again.

A great deal that starts with an omakase experience and ends with AYCE. The service was very personable. Unfortunately the night we went there was a missing staff member and the service was slow and that made the experience a little bumpy but did not stop us from having a great night. It was fun to try many new dishes and fishes.

What a delightful experience, and I don't say that lightly. I would totally recommend Hamono Sushi's omakase experience and would go again if I'm back in town. If you're interested in the omakase, please note that you need to make a reservation. The restaurant is relatively small, so I imagine reservations during the weekend go quickly. Like others have noted, the restaurant is small but cozy. I booked a reservation for a celebration and the server, Nate, made it extra special. Nate is incredibly knowledgeable about sushi, fish, and was great to talk to. He took the time to listen to my and my partner's preferences and gave great recommendations. Quite frankly, photos don't do it justice. It was my first time having uni and I was amazed by how buttery and rich it could be. Some of my favorite bites had to be the scallop, otoro, and the uni chawanmushi.

Good sushi. Location cute and quaint. Staff was informed and funny. But I did feel a little rushed out.

Hole in the wall! This was really close to our hotel so we walked in and was lucky to get a seat at the sushi bar (place was full). Apparently under new management, fish is very fresh and good, some of the best from both coasts that we have had. Great selection on food menu and unique sake and wine collection that is mostly for collectors. Really awesome food and experience. Will return for sure. Great job chef and team!

So many great things to say about this place! Make sure to make a reservation if you want to do Omakase. It's so worth it. The restaurant is small but cozy. Go earlier if you can because it does take the food a while to come out, especially if you order yakitori. All the bites of fish were divine and fresh and everything we ordered after Omakase on the AYCE was also so good. Our server was so knowledgeable and taught us a lot about the fish we were eating. We did have one missing item that was given to the table next to us, but in his defense, we ordered a lot. Another thing I really liked was that they use real wasabi. I think that goes a long way to setting a sushi restaurant apart. The one thing that was a concern was that on yelp, the restaurant says it's wheelchair accessible, when in fact, it's not. There are two stairs in the front. However, you can't really beat the quality for the price. There were also 3 sake tasters per person included in the $95 omakase price. I would 100% go again, especially since it sounds like they update the menu regularly. This place is so good I want to gate keep to avoid the price going up!

We had a reservation for two for date night. We kept hearing such great things about it online and had to try it- and our expectations were most definitely well met. The staff was attentive and kind and would explain every item we received and the best way to eat it. Considering we went on a day that there were 4 other tables doing tasting menus, our waitress was very quick and checked in often even with a busy crowd. There's no parking, prepare to find street parking! We each got the omakase 14 pieces meal experience, which was then followed up by all you can eat from their AYCE Menu separate from their omakase menu set. The waitress brought out the course in 5 different waves. The first was the crab miso soup. The real crab in it was bouncy and had a delicious aroma. Second wave was 5 pieces of nigiri from left to right: madai, kanpachi, shima aji, scallop, squid. My favorite was the shimaaji and the scallop. The scallop was HUGE and sooo juicy and supple. The shima aji had a great texture of bounciness. The madai was great, but I preferred the other options the squid, is topped with a type of "umami" powder which could've been left out. Not a fan. Third wave was 4 pieces of nigiri from left to right: sweet shrimp, akami, king salmon, mackerel. My favorite was the sweet shrimp. It wasn't as sweet as it could've been but it was great for being out of season. It still was creamy and bouncy. The akami was delicious as well. King salmon I was a bit let down with, I wasn't expecting it to be slightly seared. The mackerel was pretty good but it has a more astringent taste which isn't my initial pick. Fourth round- uni chawanmushi. YUM!!!! It was so silly and custardy and the broth was full and homey. I loved every bit of this! It was topped with a shrimp and some uni. 5th round- uni, toro, wagyu beef. The uni was delicious! I believe it was Hokkaido uni, as it was less fishy and sweeter. It was great- Portland doesn't have a lot of reliable sushi places that do uni but this was definitely top. The toro was super yummy! And the wagyu beef was great, nothing spectacular but a great bite nonetheless. We were brought sake options - you can each choose 3 for the omakase tasting menu so we got all 6 flavors. The menu tells you which sake to drink with what nigiri from the omakase tasting menu, it was really fun to follow! Afterwards we did about 4 rounds of AYCE. For the AYCE you have a specific selection to choose from, with no time limit which was very generous! We ordered each of their available appetizers along some of our favorite nigiri options. Karaage was crispy and not oily. The uni tartare was very cute but I wish the bread was more toasted as it was a little too soft in the center. Shrimp tempura udon was SO GOOD! The broth was very flavorful and noodles were bouncy and chewy. Kabocha squash was good - sweet. We ended with desert: green tea mochi with vanilla ice cream inside, and a sweet potato with vanilla ice cream which was incredible! Great experience. I'd recommend this place to others ! Glad I finally got to try it.

For what it is, the value of Hamono's is superb. $100 gets you AYCE omakase, 3 glasses of sake, and dessert. Most other omakase meals would be ~15 pieces/courses and will run you $100+ and don't include any extras in the price. However, like any AYCE restaurant, you have to adjust your expectations regarding quality. If you've been to any other reputable omakase experience (in Japan and elsewhere), Hamono's fish quality is slightly lower. One of my toro pieces had a massive piece of gristle that I had to pull out myself. Overall the fish was decent, but didn't explode in flavor like I was hoping for. Unfortunately, the service and ambiance during our visit was a bit lackluster. We went for my birthday dinner (noted in our online reservation) and there was zero acknowledgment by any of the staff of us dining in for a special occasion. The service was also extremely slow, we were averaging 20-30 minutes between courses. Also, I'm not sure if this was purposeful, but the air inside was not circulating at all. Idk if their AC was broken, but I usually run cold and I was sweating throughout our meal. Overall, I would come back because of the amazing value, but with adjusted expectations.

Restaurant is very small, so if you're hoping for dine in on a weekend evening I would recommend calling ahead for reservations! My Cousins and I decided on AYCE Omakase for a GNO and I was skeptical about quality and also if we would get our money's worth. Fast forward 2+ hours later - and I was totally proven wrong. Service was great as they often cleared our table, checked in, and ensured we had food on our table as long as we were still eating. The Omakase comes with a 14 item course and complimentary sake (100% recommend the yuzu one for those who can't stand bitter sake). The course started with a crab miso soup (which was so good). Their steamed egg is also the best I've had in the city. It was loaded with uni, and other flavors in it and steamed to perfection. Some of the items in the course aren't apart of the unlimited but the best additional orders you could add imo are the: toro, uni toro tartare, yellowtail jalapeño (a carpaccio essentially), wagyu, and your other fish of choice. I love toro so I kept eating that all night along with the yellowtail carpaccio.

Amazed by the quality of the omakase! It features an appetizer (crab miso soup), 12 pieces of nigiri, and mid-course uni chawanmushi along with 3 6oz sake to pair with. After the courses are done, we were able to order AYCE nigiri and special dishes from the menu plus dessert at the end. Crab miso soup: one crab meat in the soup. It was great to start off especially during winter to warm my pallet up. 12 pieces of nigiri: pretty solid pieces. They were not huge pieces but were surprisingly fresh and delicious. My favorites were kanpachi and uni. Uni was from hokkaido. I loved the butteriness of it! Uni chawanmushi: omg!! I'd get this by itself it's on the menu. 4-5 pieces of uni, scallops and ikura in the steamed Japanese egg custard. So yummy and so rich with all the seafood. AYCE nigiri: the service is tad slow for this one and nigiri pieces are smaller. But still yummy and it's unlimited so how can you complain? Also the chef decorates each pieces carefully with different toppings on top and each dish comes with huge pieces of blueberries and cherry tomatoes. Daily special: you can order upto 3 pieces at a time. This is so worth the money. We got more kanpachi and scallops. Special dishes: it ranges from yuzu salmon salad to karaage and udon. My favorite was the yuzu salmon salad. Uni toro tartar was a bit disappointing as I couldn't really taste the uni or toro. It's a small piece. Yakitori is only served from 5pm. Since we came in around lunch, we weren't able to order from AYCE yakitori but nigiri pieces were enough for us to be happy and full. 1000% I will be back. I'm bringing my family next time.

I came here one evening hoping to try their unlimited omakase, but was very sad to find out that the unlimited omakase required a reservation. Nonetheless, I still stopped for a dinner and had a great time. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small, but intimate. The decor is cute and very inviting. And, the staff is very friendly and polite. I ordered their mushroom soup, takoyaki, and a variety of their sashimi and nigiri. Everything was delicious. I was very pleasantly surprised by their mushroom soup, with how light but flavorful it was. Their takoyaki was also a huge portion and came with lots of takoyaki balls. And, their cuts of fish were all thick and fresh. Truly enjoyed my experienced here, and I would love to come back to try their unlimited omakase.

Well.....hmmmm First I always give a sushi spot three tests Uni- sea urchin ( 5 star on freshness ) Saki ( it was Luke warm....i didn't send it back... unpleasant ) Chiriashi bowl. ( to check out the chefs inventiveness and sushi freshness ). It was ok. Overall. I'd give the place 2-3 stars on ambience. I like a bar. No bar. No ability to watch knife work. How sad. It's a free benefit with a remodel. There are other places I'll try before I come back. Uni was 20$. Quite a bit. Prices are high. That's the highest I've seen.

Just Amazing! Highly recommend. We did the omakase. High quality fish. Very good customer service. Jaime was a great host. He explained every type of fish and even sake. Made us felt st home. He also asked us to keep ordering because it was unlimited.. we just didnt have enough room. For the price, very worth it. I'm definitely coming back.

It was a tough night I think. With outside temps near 100, the ac could not keep up, so we were really sweating! The kitchen must have been unbearable and it sadly showed. The tempura batter was... flat... lacking the bubbles and trails typical of ice cold batter draped into hot oil and was even a tiny bit chewy but still mostly crispy. My friend's roll didn't come out for so long! We were done eating before it arrived. I get it though, I've worked kitchen in heat like this and it takes a toll, leaving you less than fully sharp or worse (I've passed out in kitchen conditions not much different). I hope the building manager can do something. Until then... I'd say go when the highs are no more than the low 80's. The sake pairing our server recommended was wonderful and the birthday boy got to take home half a bottle. This server is so amazing, handling the entire service afternoon and night by himself, rattling back orders like he has an eidetic memory and always having a funny joke or two! The sushi was excellent as always and the chirashi (Hamono Don) was generous and wonderful. The bill for 5 with apps and a full bottle of sake was shockingly inexpensive for this level of quality and service.

I would gatekeep this amazing legit sushi place, but I don't live in Portland. We didn't have high expectations for the Omakase + ayce at first but this place blew us out of the water with the amazing quality fish. We were not able to get a reservation on Tock, but we called and got a reservation for a weekday. You definitely need reservations because this place is small and during our meal, they had to turn away 2 groups of walk in's. We came the week when it was in the 90s, and their ac is not very strong. But just get more iced drinks because the food more than makes up for it. How the Omakase + ayce ($100 at the time of this review) works is you first finish the omakase portion of about 13 pieces of sushi, 1 miso soup, 1 chawanmushi, then you can order from the ayce menu. The ayce menu has most of what was served in the omakase portion. It even has toro and wagyu! The quality of the fish were high and everything was fresh. They get their fish from Japan daily and I absolutely believe them with the amazing dinner we had. Probably the best sushi deal I've had in the states. The only place I've had better sushi so far is in Japan. The most surprising thing of the meal was the akami, the lean cut of tuna. I never order it because it's just not a tasty cut. But the akami was delicious here! They explained that it's because the only use truly wild caught blue fin tuna. I definitely won't discount ordering akami from now on. Even the desserts were good! The match cheesecake and ice cream tasted like good, rich flavored matcha. We saw some tables do a la carte and ordered rolls like spider roll, crunchy roll, etc. so if that type of sushi is what you're craving, they have it too. Next time we visit portland, I'll be sure to make a reservation here as soon as we book the trip! And hopefully we'll actually get a reservation. We only saw metered street parking or paid parking structures nearby.

I was craving sushi, so while my in-laws were watching the kids, my husband and I decided to stop in for a quick fix. One of the best rolls I've ever had is from here--the Ocean Crunch. I also tried the shrimp tempura roll, but the Ocean Crunch absolutely stole the show. I'll have to come back to Portland just to have it again! The only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5 is that they don't take reservations, so it's first come, first served. The establishment is quite small with limited seating inside. However, they kindly accommodated us just 30-40 minutes before closing, and I'm very grateful for that.

Looked for a last min place for dinner around where my hotel was and was wanting sushi. This place is def on the smaller side and reservations are recommended. I opted for a sashimi plate (slices of raw fish without the rice) and a side order of salmon nigiri (the slices of fish with the rice). The pricing wasn't bad at all. But I wish there was a way to at least make one or two changes from the "chef's choice", but overall the sushi was decent. The atmosphere is very hole in the wall with pink Sakura flowers hanging from the ceiling. The restaurant sign itself it super cute. The staff is friendly, but wish they were a bit more attentive. I had to ask for refills a few times as they were more attentive to the larger parties.

Absolutely amazing ramen! Picked this place blindly on Yelp, and it turned out great. Small on the inside (in a good way!), and high quality food! Waiter was the man too. Handled all the tables fast. 100% come back to this place again.

Frankly speaking it was relatively bland in my opinion and I did not care for the flavor they add to their sushi rice, as I prefer a clean white rice for my rolls/sushi. Wait staff was attentive and friendly, but doubt I'll be back.

The new omakase meal is amazing! Food quality is fantastic and well prepared. The waiter is sweet, patient and kind. The quaint spot, is modern and well decorated. I have been here twice in 1 week...will be back soon!

Tiny hole in the wall kind of place. Excellent service by Nate. Top quality food. Will be back for the Omakase. Make a reservation.

I've been here handful of times now and recently did their $95 AYCE omakase and it didn't disappoint. They first serve you the set omakase set and then you're able to choose from the all you can eat list. Most of the items from the omakase set are on the AYCE list with the exception of the uni. We signed up for the 7:15 time and found that was enough time to enjoy the dinner while eating til our stomachs were full. Last call for orders was at 8:45pm

We did the Omakase. It is very small seating inside so if you can make reservations. There is 5 small tables and a small bar. The omakase starts off with a set menu that comes out in 3 rounds. The food was so delicious. After the omakase portion, you can order AYCE sushi. There was no time limit. What I loved about the place was that the rice was just the right amount on the nigiri. They were not trying to fill me up on the rice. The fish was great quality and offered some premium cuts. The staff was so great and nice as well. Loved it here

Cozy place, great service and incredible quality of fish. our server Nate was knowledgeable, funny and gave great recommendations,, i literally can't pick a favorite dish, it was all extremely delicious! if im in town again, i would definitely come back. a dallas visitor was left very impressed :)

Visiting Portland for the week and been to this gem twice. Great atmosphere and outstanding food and service!

We did the all you can eat Omakase and it was such a fun experience! I think the value was definitely worth it. You get miso soup, 12 pieces of nigiri, and 3 sake samples. It included some incredible pieces like wagyu, king salmon, scallop, bluefin toro, uni, etc. At the end, you could stay as long as you wanted and order more pieces of nigiri and other dishes from the all you can eat menu. There were some restrictions but not really anything restrictive as you would be too full before you could even max out on anything! It was a great time to be able to try so many new nigiri and then still order all my favorite classics at the end included. It also included 3 dessert choices- we did the mochi which was good but not the best I've had. The service was wonderful, very kind and helpful. The ambiance is good, definitely a small place so highly recommend making reservations!

Went to get a roll and was given this? Not what I expected and not sure how I feel about it. I won't be back, 21$ for this thing and a miso seems crazy.

The omakase is well worth the price and money The service was great! (I forgot our servers name) however he was energetic, well informed, and well spoken! Made the experience a fun one. He also didn't rush us and allowed us to order what we needed. He was the only server too! The place is intimate and had a small bar and 7 tables. Well decorated and it's a cute place! Now for food, the 16 course dinner did take a while to get out. Our reservation was at 7, we ended the omakase around 8:45. And then we had a chance to do the AYCE menu however and sadly the kitchen closes at 9, so we didn't have much much time. We did get to order a bunch at a time though. And they were out of the same portion of the menu. We were first served a miso soup with crab, and then 6 nigiri sushi (i forgot which fish ) and then another 4, and then one seafood soufflé dish and then, a sweet shrimp with ikura hand roll with a fried shrimp head and lastly uni, wagyu and otoro. The last three were my absolute favorite. In terms of quality- the fish is really good! Melt in your mouth, smooth, creamy and no fish smell nor seafood taste! Really good quality fish. I was not a fan of the rice - I've had better sushi rice at other places. But it was still very good sushi. The AYCE portion/ they did not skimp out on anything- it was the same quality as they would give you in omakase. They had more options of fish, and special rolls and other kitchen items. It was good!! As for dessert, we had the green tea cheesecake that was torched. Delicious and simple. 4/5 only because we didn't get the sake of our choice we wanted and the kitchen closing. I will come back!

friendly staff, the sashimi was very fresh and delicious, the galaxy roll was alright but everything else was just amazing. The Takoyaki was at the perfect temp where you can just plop the whole thing in your mouth right when you get it and dont have to worry about burning the roof of your mouth which is awesome. One of the drinks overflowed and the waiter was very nice to give us another one on the house will definitely come here again

Amazing place with exceptional service!! They were very accommodating and ensured our experience was great. We had the all you can eat omakase and it was so worth it! I fell in love with their Yuzu Salmon salad. We are definitely going back and telling everyone I know to check this place out.

Despite making reservations, we showed up and there were no tables available. The place is quite small and there were three of us and three seats at the bar along the back wall, so we sat there for about 10 minutes while waiting for a table. The bar area was not clean and we were not offered drinks or anything while we waited. Eventually we were seated and the table was both out of ginger and soy sauce. All of this left a bad first impression. However, everything turned around when the sushi came out. The sushi here is incredible. I recommend everything we ordered (see below) and would love to go back to try the rest of the menu! Hon yari Omakase x2 Hamono tasting Ichiban Naruto roll Toro taku roll Negi Hama

My sister in law and I met up for a later dinner. It's very possible that I could blame all of the mishaps on closing time (we came at 830). Not being in the biz I'm not sure how forgiving to be on this. The highlight was the katsu. Well prepared, good size portions. The salad was not great. I don't know what the issue was. It was really sloppy but tasted like your standard sweet creamy sesame dressing. The sushi was another story. The tamago is store bought. Not impressed. This is $2 on the sushi track. We got the eel roll. The eel again was not the freshest and it was apparent. The king salmon was ok and I ended up with some tuna belly which was good. There's a certain lack of polishing and professionalism that I sensed. There were some issues with my order that just didn't sit right with me. It was handled but still sus. Good location. Very cozy but in our case really noisy. Doubtful I'd return. Sorry.

On the pricier end and smaller portion but the quality of the seafood was good. I enjoyed the Teriyaki Salmon Don that came with two pieces of fatty and well-grilled salmon and two steamed dumplings. Would have like more for $17 but it's overall satisfying. Inside was cozy and well-decorated. Staffs were fast and efficient too.

Great AYCE Omakase experience. Service was sweet and attentive. There is no time limit. Includes sake pairings or you can opt for one of the Japanese beer instead. Will be back!

Was in the area for work and Hamono came up high in my search for food sushi. I was not disappointed. I'd been seeking some great crispy rice for a moment and they definitely came thru. I devoured this roll. It was packed with delicious fresh ingredients. Also ordered for lunch was a salmon hand roll. OMG. Any lovers of fresh salmon would smash 2 of these in one 1 minute. I thoroughly enjoyed my lunch and planned on coming back but the stars did not align.

We stumbled upon this spot while walking through downtown. It's a super small place with not much seating. The service was great and our server was friendly. I love that they have a heaping amount of ginger in a jar that's already at your table (I love ginger). The sushi was creative and delicious!

Omakase was spectacular, the additional all you can eat and specials after the already indulgent sets plus sake tasting. We found our sushi spot here!

Let me first start off by saying Michele our server was awesome and deserves 5 stars. The disappointing part of our dinner was due to the fact they ran out of certain ingredients for our orders. We ordered 4 blue crab handrolls and they had no blue crab. Another one of our rolls Nobu Roll also included blue crab and they substituted with imitation crab no mention of the replacement or no discount on the price. We ordered another roll which was supposed to have snow crab again got imitation crab again no mention of the change of ingredients. It was a cute little restaurant but unfortunately the sushi could have tasted much better if served as described on the menu. Decor on ceiling was so pretty. Just to respond to the owners response below. We were only informed of the blue crab handroll not being available and choose to cancel all except one that was made with imitation crab at a discount. As for the Nobu and Pioneer roll, there was no mention about substituting Ingredients prior to the rolls being made and no discount was offered. So we didn't have an opportunity to decline such discount. The response from the owner is not true. I just want to set the record straight as an apology would have been sufficient vs a lie.

My partner and I did the AYCE Omakase experience and it was amazing. The omakase portion consists of 15 courses. All of the nigiris did not have a fishy smell and the right amount of rice to enjoy the fish. My personal favorites were the madal, kanpachi, shima aji, and akami. In particular the akami stood out to me as I typically am not a fan of tuna. Each omakase included 3 sakes so my partner and I were able to try all 6 sakes. I am not a drinker so I will not review the sake. It was extremely helpful that the menu included the ideal pairings of omakase courses with each sake. The AYCE portion allows you to select any of the 15 omakase courses in addition to other specials and deserts. For the other special the tempera sampler was a favorite as the batter was light and crispy. I preferred the portion size of the specials as I was able to try all of their specials and have room for sushi. The service was phenomenal. Nearly everyone did the AYCE omakase and our server did a great job of checking in with us after we finish one of our order so we can order another round with no delay. This was a delicious, affordable omakase and an AYCE! I would highly recommend this experience and try to have a reservation.
