This is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE sushi in the city. Everything is EXTREMELY FRESH ALWAYS. We’ve been here 10+ times and it’s excellent every time. Could not ask for more.

It's become a regular in our dinner rotation. Fish tastes fresh. If I had visiting friends, this would be one of the places I'd bring them. It's a great sushi and sake place.

Jiro is clearly a well respected and skilled chef with a lot of experience. I just did not enjoy the omakase experience when I came here. But to be fair, this was a while ago - I should check in again.

Must try!!! Heard about Hamano on Reddit, the sushi and service was actually overwhelming compared to my expectation! This place is one of the best I have tried hands down.

Definitely food to be enjoyed with good company. Service was fast considering how busy it was. If I had company, I suspect it would have been perfect. The uni I had was smooth and buttery. All the sashimi and sushi had clean and distinct flavors.

Went for my birthday dinner on a Wednesday night and had no problem getting a table, it was comfortably busy. Our server was really on top of everything, the menu is more traditional Japanese than a lot of sushi places I've been to in the area. I got one of the chef's sets and it was very fresh and perfectly proportioned. My husband got an udon and said it was just like the ones in Japan - fresh and simple, but good. Definitely recommend!

I enjoyed the ambiance. Service lacked attention to detail, service staff seemed busy doing nothing. Share plates and water refills required asking.
I thought the preparations were creative and well executed, however, broadly under seasoned— especially lacking salt. Very fresh, clean approach which I appreciated in its authenticity. Maybe I’d come back and sit at the bar… I had The Sunset Roll, Noe (especially delicious imo with a bright, citric profile), Age Dash Tofu (under salted), gyoza (quite good, however they did not have any sriracha so offered me Tabasco?), Negi Udon, several nigiri as well and those were very good. Like I said, the freshness of ingredients and technical approach is superb.
