The spicy tuna roll lacked any real spice; it seemed like they forgot to add the hot sauce. The seaweed salad was mostly just lettuce. Everything tasted acceptable, but for takeout nowadays, it's not cheap. I wonder if restaurants are feeling the financial strain too, which might explain their use of fewer ingredients. These are tough times, and it looks like I’ll be dining out less often—it just doesn’t feel worthwhile. **Service:** Dine in **Meal Type:** Dinner **Price per Person:** CA$20–30 **Food Rating:** 3 **Service Rating:** 4 **Atmosphere Rating:** 3

I ordered take out twice after that visit and sushi did not meet my expectations. It was not any better than the sushi you can get at a grocery store. Unsure why the quality wasn't consistent with my first experience.

Their chicken teriyaki is my personal favourite with mizo soup. Reasonably priced with good service and pleasant staff. Eat in or take out.

If I remember correctly, the wasabi they use is a 9 on the GF guide. I assume it isn't a 10 because they don't specify where their mustard comes from. Great choices, great prices, excellent and friendly service. If you dine in, ask the chef to recommend something; I've never been disappointed.

The place was not busy at dinner time so we got seated right away. There’s only 1 person working at the front doing everything and he’s friendly. The rolls are a bit smaller but tastes good. The Chicken Karage I’m expecting is different from what we’ve got. The Tempura are good as well.

She was quite cold to be honest. We had come from across the border, so we ordered extra to take home. The waitress made a comment about me wanting two meals. Then when we requested a to-go box she said yes, big dinner. It had been years since I was last there but after the way we were treated, I’ll never go there again.

We arrived shortly after 6pm on a Thursday night and there were only a couple of tables in use. Tiger was our server. She has been at Hamada for many years and has always been more than helpful. My wife had an ebi sunomono to start and said it was good. I had the agedashi tofu which I used to love, but not as much now. The coating is different, maybe thicker, so I wonder if the frying system has changed, and there were no green onions (of which I am a fan). We had the red dragon roll which was as good as I remember (my absolute favourite, thanks to Tiger's recommendation), the Hamada special roll which has no rice and was quite tasty, the dragon roll which my wife pointed out had less eel than before, the green hornet roll which she also felt had little salmon in it, the kanasake tempura which had a huge, heavier coating compared to the previous version, and my wife had a chopped ebi cone which was not closed at the bottom so she had to fold the bottom up in order to eat the cone. So while the taste of most of our food was good, the quality for some of it wasn't as good as it used to be, especially for the price. Does that mean we will not eat here again? No, we will just know what to order and what not to, and it will be a once in a blue moon thing due to the cost.

The rolls didn't look like they were rolled very tight and most of them fell apart when we picked them up. We ordered the Tuna Takaki and got enough of the sauce for 2 maybe 3 of the pieces. Must say that we won't be ordering from here again. We used to eat here every Friday, but started ordering from somewhere closer to home. The sushi has really gone down hill from the last time we were there.

If you want any service you will have to get up and go find your server because they aren't coming to you. Worst food and worst service. I would give a negative point score if it was possible. Yuck!!

If you get a chance stop in a support this local restaurant. I believe it's family run and they were very kind and prompt service. Will definitely go again.

One of our favorite local Japanese reasurants. The food is great and always consistent, which is why we continue to go back. read more One of our favorite local Japanese reasurants. The food is great and always consistent, which is why we continue to go back.
