Hama Sushi - Herndon

Ignorance is bliss. This was my favorite place. One of my favorite appetizers is the Potato Shrimp. Recently when I tried to order it, I was informed the supplier is out of stock. It is a sad day when it is too hard to peel a potato into the shoe string and then wrap it around a shrimp and fry it. I wish that this was my only issue. My second favorite appetizer is the Tuna Stack. Who doesn?t love Tuna. Well when I ordered it, it was much different than the previous times Ihad had it, and it did not have cucumbers like the menu stated. I looked through other photos posted, and the Tuna Stack has gone through many iterations, but I don?t think the menu has ever been updated to reflect the changes norvariations. This a BIG deal consider allergies. You can?t advertise one thing but present another. People can get sick or worse. Tuna stack this was not. There was more filler than fish. From what I could make out, tasted more like radishvariant than pear. I ordered the Super Rainbow Roll because it had double the fish. As you can see in the picture it just looks like a regular rainbow roll. Consistency and quality is lacking. Lastly, when I arrived I was told I had towait which is totally understandable. While waiting a group of four arrived and said they had a reservation. The lady at the front scoffed with a sound in response and then walked away. The group was eventually seated. When it came time forme to be seated, I looked around there were 6 seats at the sushi bar, 4 tables, 1 large table, and 2 booths open. In the time that I had been waiting, only 4 people had left.

When you first open the Resturant door , a clean smell flows toward you fresh woods smell . Everything is in tip top shape from the door to the tables to the bathrooms. The food itself tastes clean . Very excellent preparation, every cook is on top of his performance. The food was just lovely ? tasty that you would think you were in another place like Japan itself . The owner has taken his cooking trade ? experience ? love of color ? crispy texture and gives you momentsof true food enjoyment The owner is a wonderful person who takes time to sit w/ you , talk w/ you as well

I love this place! Hands down Hama Sushi in Herndon is a gem for authentic Japanese cuisine. The Katsu Chicken is perfectly crispy and flavorful with a nice light cole slaw to compliment it while the Miso Soup and house salad are also both fresh and satisfying. Their California rolls are a standout, packed with flavor and orange caviar. Don’t miss the Gyoza dumplings—they're delicious and a great addition to your meal. I very much recommend this spot for anyone craving genuine Japanese food!

My husband and I have tried many sushi places in the area, and Hama is by far our favorite! The service is always wonderful. It is very quick every time we’re there and the food is just amazing. It has some of our favorite sushi rolls we’ve ever had, plus any appetizers or soups or anything else that we’ve ordered has always been amazing. We can’t recommend Hama enough!

Excellent fresh sushi. Would recommend 10 out of 10!
