First I want to say I didn't come here by choice. It was my boyfriends fathers birthday so he chose where to eat. I haven't personally been to Hamada in forever but it was exactly how I recalled it. Big, slow, decent food, expensive. \n\nAtmosphere: 4/5  You walk in this place and you feel like your in Japan. I liked the decor a lot of fake plants with a Japanese sand box in the middle (it was actually a rock box but I figured food + kids = dust everywhere). The lighting was very dark it helped disguised the fact they barely had anyone there. I was there about 6:30 prime dinner hours and that place was EMPTY.\n\nSashimi: 3/5 was delicious... fresh big chunks. They better be for the price! For an assorted boat of sashimi was $40 bucks. I basically inhaled it\n\nNigiri: 3/5 Great portions big fish and good amount of rice. I really liked their rice with the nigiri. It was a bit sweeter than most places.\n\nShrimp Tempura Boat: I'm not a fried food type of person but my boyfriends little brother loves Shrimp tempura. I can't give you a good opinion on shrimp tempura because I'm already bias on the friend part. \n\nTeriyaki Chicken Entree: 0/5 I was so surprised how SIMPLE and HORRIBLE this dish was. I literally could've gotten better Teriyaki chicken from PANDA EXPRESS. The presentation was even horrible. A scoop of rice, teriyaki chicken, and edamame \n\nSeaweed Salad: 0/5 What a rip off, this seaweed salad was mostly cucumber salad. They should call is cucumber salad with a dash of seaweed. What a joke.. \n\nService: 5/5 Service was great, your waitresses are really nice and they get into character so well. Dressed in Japanese kimonos \n\nPrice: 0/5 Super expensive $$$$ for 3 1/2 people our bill came close to $300...and I was still hungry after.
