I'd suggest reserving a table here before coming in. Overall a good place to eat. I found it interesting that as a sushi store they also have Chinese food :)

I don't understand the bad review this Sushi place is amazing and I've always had a good time here. The food itself is great with many options. The staff are very respectful and friendly and professional. The atmosphere is nice and quiet and relaxed and happy. And if you like Sushi especially if you keep kosher this is the place for you. Sadly every business will always have a person who isn't pleased. I highly recommend this place.

Extensive selection of Kosher Sushi Rolls (hot and cold) and Bowl styles, including Chirashi and Poke. Miso soup was salty, but the rolls did not disappoint. Very generous portions, to say the least. The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh. Small seating area with a Sushi bar. Corner space. I had the "Kate," Roll and Mom had a Hamachi and Avocado Roll. Got to meet Kate as a bonus. They also have a Kosher Chinese selection. I could not believe how many to-go orders went out the door in the short time we were there.

Small. About four tables. Great deal to come for lunch. Ran out of meat and rice the night before so we couldn't get their beef and broccoli. Got four rolls and two miso soups for 40. Didn't like the dragonfly, but loved the redhead, ahava and salmon jalapeno. Dragonfly was just too hard and didn't stay as one piece with the chopsticks, ahava was the black rice which had a peanut taste. Ordered next day for the meat and got takeout. Got beef and broccoli and sesame chicken with fried rice. All were 5/5.

Super fresh, velvety, smooth fish. I got a duvi poke bowl and it was delicious! Simple ingredients for a healthy lunch. The mushrooms were especially incredible!

Really nice, cozy place. Perfect for a night out! Excellent, friendly, professional customer service! Equally great food! The prices, however, are great if you want to put your wallet on a starvation diet! Highly recommended, if you're not looking for a cheap night out...

The food is always good at Hamachi, but the Forbidden Bento box was a pleasant surprise! Perfect combination, filling and delicious.

the sushi in the photo (I don't really know all the names for sushi) was really good, but you know what's better? the sushi burrito (I'm so sorry, I don't know the names) was very filling, mostly because there's a lot of fish. The chairs are my only complaint, they're not bad, but not five stars good
