I am staying next door to Hamada at the Residence Inn and have been here since Sunday. The parking lot is empty, lights are off and when it tried the door it was locked at dinner time.

This Hamada located just a mile or so east of the strip is in an area of better restaurants, so high prices shouldn't be a shock. However, with the exception of a $19 chicken entree, meals were in the $30 to $40 range, and over $60 if you dared to add a single lobster tail. Also fried rice which is... More

This once very busy restaurant was empty when we arrived at 7:30 PM the decor was run down and the staff a little feisty. I really needs a face lift. Having said that the food was fantastic and reasonably priced

Generous portions and well prepared makes this a place I wouldn't hesitate to visit again. Personnel dressed in kimonos adds to a nice atmosphere. Fairly priced.

Sorry but the service was horrible... Waitress wasn't seen after she brought our first round of beverage. The soup was so nasty. The meat and rice were tasty and cooked in front of us. This was not worth the price... Ridiculous.

I consider myself a foodie, eating out at least once a day and at some of the best restaurants in the world, but at the same time I am always up for a quiet hole in the wall that serves great food. With so many creative sushi restaurants to choose from these days I am surprised that Hamada is still... More

If you take the time to go to a Japanese steakhouse, make sure you call ahead to reserve a Teppanyaki table! These are the tables where they cook in front of you. You may get an authentic Japanese guy or a guy from Mexico but it's fun either way. Hamada of Japan was a good meal and an entertaining time.... More

All the usual performance, freshly cooked food. But was not the tastiest I've eaten, and was more expensive than other similar restaurants.

This is one of the oldest sushi joints in town, it's a newer building but these folks have a small dynasty in Vegas. They run other locations, but the main one on Flamingo caters to every type of clientel, from sushi bar to the acrobatic presentations to the shabu- shabu, sukiyaki, teppan room... you name it they have it.

Went for Sushi one night during my stay. Disappointed to see that the crab used in lots of the rolls was 'chopped" (AKA as cheaper fill crab) Pricing didn't reflect "cheaper" crab fill. OK, but not the best Sushi ever!
