13 Best Japanese Restaurants in Hamilton

“We eat sushi often in Hamilton, Toronto, Waterloo, and Montreal. Cozy is up there with the very best, with none of the pretension, all the brilliance of combining freshest ingredients and flavours, whether simple or creative, reasonable price, and superior service! We LOVE Cozy Sushi! Our new go-to!“

“We tried the Beef Shoyu Ramen, and wow—it was absolutely excellent! The broth was light yet flavorful, reminding me of the amazing ramen I had in Singapore. The balance of flavors was perfect, and the homemade spicy sauce was the cherry on the top.

If you’re looking for a place that serves authentic, high-quality ramen, Shiro Ramen is the spot. Probably the best ramen I had in Canada .The gyoza was also surprisingly good !

So happy with this place that we are going back tomorrow 😁“

“Went here for dinner last night with my family and everything was great. Best ramen around, unpretentious just a great bowl of ramen with plenty of toppings, flavourful broth and perfectly cooked noodles. The place was easy going, staff was attentive and quick. Kinda felt like stumbling into a random mom and pop shop in Japan, was great for me. Also got Pork Katsu and Curry, and Omurice. All the dishes were really good. Eating leftovers now and remembering I should leave a good review. Will be back for sure.“

“Best sushi in Hamilton! Highly recommend“

“Stopped in here, craving a Won Ton soup, didn’t realize they made it here. They have a small size and a regular size. Had 1 small Won Ton soup, took a bit to prepare and the servers were nice of them to tell me to sit down (while they got it prepared) When the soup was ready, I picked it up at the counter. The soup was very good, nice and hot, with small wonton noodles (with a meat filling) tasted like a seasoned pork. Soup had pieces of broccoli throughout it, and broth was a bit salty (but tolerable) could taste the spices, ginger root and garlic added in. Tasty broth, I added pepper for taste no soya sauce. The larger dishes look good also, but they have rices, spring rolls, teriyaki dishes. I’ll have to try, cooked right in front of you (with fresh ingredients) and placed steaming hot into the container (all ready to eat in food court or take home).“

“I take a 30min+ bus ride to this mall just to come to Mac's. Their avocado sushi is amazing! Nice big slices, avocado is not over or under ripe. Serving sizes are nice and big: their grab and go bar gives you 2 rolls worth. Seaweed salad was also incredible and a nice big portion size.“

“Chef Cal is wonderful and always makes conversation with me and my friends! He is very funny and entertains us while we wait for his food. This is the go-to place to get food on campus as a picky eater, the food is consistent and reliable. A favourite among me and my friends!“

“I absolutely love this place! We've ordered multiple times, and each time it was great. We will definitely be ordering again.“

“I went here for the first time today with my parents for lunch. We ordered from the Lunch Express menu- seafood teriyaki, tempura, and sashimi. The food arrived very quickly. Portions were a good size and most importantly, everything was delicious. My senior parents were delighted to speak Japanese with the server, who was incredibly gracious and kind. The interior is clean and has a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be returning.“

“The food is good. The dining area is beginning to look dingy The women’s bathroom is disgusting & needs a good clean“

“Everything was fresh, the sevice was fast and friendly“

“Excellent sushi restaurant in Hamilton downtown. Food was great and staff is very friendly. I ordered California roll, some sushi and tempura and they were made perfectly and couldn’t ask for any better. All food was fresh and very delicious. Definitely will return again and highly recommend to everyone.“

“My date and I went in thinking they might have coffee but it’s more of a Korean tea lounge. I tried the Hokkaido milk tea and liked it ?. My friend had the peach tea but misunderstood and thought it would be like a western tea but she liked it still“
