Hama Sushi, Venice CA

$90 for 4 rolls of take out and they didn’t give us soy sauce or wasabi. Never would go back ever. Horrible.

It was good, but not great. For $26 a roll, the sushi should be amazing. Definitely overpriced.

Great spot for happy hour sushi. Friendly service at the bar and lots of options for traditional sushi and handrolls.

STAY AWAY. This is literally the worst sushi I have ever had in all of Los Angeles. Writing a review to warn everyone to not come here. Went here last Friday night for the first time in years. I remember it wasn't mind blowing years ago, but it wasn't this bad. I don't know if I could even be eating at the same places as other reviews. The only thing edible was the edamame and peppers. The sweet shrimp which our waiter recommended was so bad I spit it out. It tasted rotten. The rice was messy on the sushi and the fish chewy and ratios were way off. Miso cod was dry beyond belief and flavorless. Sashimi was stringy and rubbery. Even the Sake was not great and overpriced. I wish I took photos to show how horrifying it was. Nothing looked anything like others that post. I'm feeling ill just thinking about it.

There are so many delicious Japanese restaurants in Los Angeles. Hama is so disgusting it should be a criminal offense that they even serve food here. For 280 dollars we could have had a pretty nice meal at a fantastic restaurant.

Please avoid for your own sake and support Japanese restaurants that actually care about the cuisine!

No chopsticks? ! How do you except me to enjoy a $250 dollar delivery meal without chopsticks.

Imagine how we ate this. With our fingers (as we are traveling and ordered from a hotel).

Taste was horrible and the experience trying to enjoy sashimi with no chopsticks will be one that will never forget.

WORST CHOICE.

A certainty for those arriving in California. Since 1979 the first authentic cuisine of a Japanese-style ryoka on Venice beach.

My experience was A M A Z I N G the candy is super good and the food is ok but it’s expensive. Anyways the food is very goood. My kids ate sushi for the first time here. That’s it hope you enjoyed reading my review

Not authentic, overpriced and terrible food.
Worst Japanese restaurant I’ve ever been in LA.

Everything was insanely slow.

We ordered Shiso Lemon Roll which, according to the menu, should have white fish on top. Among all the pieces, there were 2 pieces covered with actual crazy sour lemon with very little white fish… pretty sure they just replaced the fish with lemon cuz they ran out of it.

Karaage looked and tasted like $5 popcorn chicken at fast food places

Ramen took the longest time and only had 2 tiny pieces of BURNT Chashu in it.

Asked the waitress if there was supposed to be an egg in the ramen as we read on the menu, the reply was - “I don’t know. Maybe they changed the menu or something”

Bruh

Cost was ~90$ for 2 people and we were still hungry lol

This is a pub/bar. Families beware. Not the place to go with children. I wish it was clearer on their website.

Decent sushi place on a quiet-ish roundabout. Good food. Polite and helpful staff. If you don’t want a HUGE sports screen looming over you as you eat then go for an outside table or the more quiet and sophisticated side of the venue where the chefs are doing their thing!

Very friendly and the food was super good. I was seated at the shushing bar in front of the chef who is super friendly as well.

Overpriced and minimal service. Ate at the sushi bar and the chef had a mask on but nose out.
