    I'm in heaven
    Ricardo G.

    Great Happy Hour. Delicious, fresh fish and great service. The patio bar and patio are always jumping so if you like it a little more quiet reserve a table in the dining room. The crispy rice, yellowtail sashimi with jalapeño, albacore sashimi with crispy onions, and the Shiso Lemon Roll are our go to's. The Shiso Lemon roll is so refreshing. We were there last night at a community fundraiser for the Venice Heritage Museum and we grubbed down! The owner, Hama Mama Esther, is always gracious and very supportive within the Venice community. Thank you Esther for all you do for the Venice community. Xoxo

    We were looking for a sushi restaurant where we could also watch the World Cup game in the Venice Beach area and this place came up as an option. We were lucky enough to be able to snag a table without a reservation. Great bar area with a large tv. Decent sushi.

    Hama is my always go to. I always feel welcome. I love the vibe, It feels like family. The food is delicious this is my 10th year of loyalty. I will always keep coming back for more. Ps my faves are salmon sashimi, eggplant app, shishito peppers EDAMAME but the baked cod I dream about.

    So things have really evolved here over the last 8 years since my first review. There have been major makeovers and changes, including a hidden patio area outside that can be rented for private functions. The walls are modern and sharp, whilst still paying homage to old Venice with gorgeous photos of yesteryear. The menu has had a few changes as well, some that I don't love (the green devil roll used to be my favorite, but they use such little chili oil now I rarely order it; and they no longer have my favorite wakame salad), but some welcomed new ones (oooo that one ramen bowl!). I now find my self here, if not every week, then every other week. Love it!

    I made a reservation for 5:30 pm last Saturday. Although the restaurant was still empty, the hostess gave us the worst table in the restaurant. I nicely asked her to get me a better table, but she denied me the opportunity to sit at the other available tables (for two) that were in the Main room. Because of her lack of goodwill, I decided to tell her to get me the table in the Sushi room, because my reservation was for there. She didn't believe, so I had to show her the screenshot from my cellphone to prove it. I go to this restaurant since 2004 when I first lived in Venice. I know the owner Esther since then. The 3 stars I am giving are not for the food or for the way this wonderful lady runs her business, but I find important that she's aware of how some employees can suddenly turn her business into a bad experience, like the one I had that night.

We came during off hours-ish (around 1pm) and were able to be seated immediately at the bar. There was a bit of a wait for an actual table. Our server immediately explained the menu as it was my first time here and offered recommendations. My friend and I both opted to get the Nozawa set menu, which had a mix of sashimi/nigiri/hand rolls. I don't usually eat hand rolls, but this was a great first time experience. The menu is well crafted and the timing at which the food is brought out to you is also thoughtfully planned. I can't even pick a favorite because everything was delicious. The Nozawa set was also a good amount of food. Ambiance was great, and the bar was a great spot for people watching. There are a lot of small touches which make dining here a great experience, such as how fast your plates are cleared, and how the bathroom even has unscented vs scented hand soap depending on if you're washing your hands before or after your meal. Staff was super friendly as well.

The food is fantastic, perfect taste as usual!! The service is a hit and miss at this location. With our server covering several tables and the bar area, made it a bit difficult to get his attention. He took a break during our service and his replacement was struggling to keep up. I had to ask for a refill on our sodas and forgot. Once our original server came back, there was an improvement in service.

You can put your name in and hop over to the corner door for a drink. It's a mix of handrolls and kushiyaki. This last time I went, it was a date night and my husband ordered the 4x4 and I got the flavors of Saijo. The standouts in the flavors of Saijo included the oyster, the dry-aged sashimi, the scallop uni one bit hand roll and the signature hand roll (which is Blue Crab, Shrimp, Salmon Belly). I also enjoyed the shrimp kushiyaki. I enjoyed the other handrolls as well, but wish they didn't chop up the salmon. It would be nicer as larger pieces of fish. I find myself comparing it to Kazu Nori or Yunomi (both of which we love). The service was great and attentive. It's a nice spot for a date night or to catch up with a friend!

I loved that it was a mix of raw hand rolls and cooked skewers. While the place is pricey and the wait can be long, we thought the food was great. The handrolls were exceptional and so fresh. I loved that each dish came out freshly made and handed to you but do wish they didn't come out so quickly. As someone who is a slower eater, it was a bit overwhelming how quickly the food came out and the skewers would get cold as I couldn't eat fast enough. However I assume they want to turn around tables quickly so I don't think it's a grazing type of date night spot. We really enjoyed both the handrolls and skewers and look forward to coming back soon!
