12 Best Japanese Restaurants in Hamilton

“ordered takeout from this shop because it's close to where i'm staying and i don't know the area well, but i'm glad i did! the staff were very friendly, the food is great, and they included a free soup! :) thanks so much!“

“When I crave homestyle Japanese food, I come here.
I've only ever done pick-up orders and it's usually pretty quick.
I get the beef curry and oyakodon. Both are delicious and authentic-tasting. The large servings are filling.
Their bubble tea is also great.“

“The food here is absolutely delightful! I had the vegetable croquettes, as shrimp and vegetable gyoza were not available. The vegetable Croquettes were like an upscaled potato Patty with the crunch of a hash brown. Came with a really tasty dipping sauce.

Don't understand the criticism about the portion sizes. The vegetable Ramen was a massive bowl. I couldn't even eat it all. A variety of vegetables, seaweed, and noodles with an added egg. Savory, hot, delicious and very very filling.

I had the regular spicy level. If you're accustomed to heat, then you'll want to get spicy. This was what I call white people hot. As in, not very. But still very flavourful.

The atmosphere is relaxing and it's very clean.“

“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).“

“We have been coming to Joya at least once a week for the past several years. This place is outstanding in every possible way, and we are so lucky to have such great sushi locally close by.

Atmosphere is peaceful and beautiful, the service is wonderful, and the food is always consistent, clean and delicious. We love you Joya

In fact, I'm putting in an order right now“

“Food was very decent. We had the Wag Jag deal $79/2ppl. Sushi was nice with good sushi rice. Stir fried rice was nice side dish for the protein, but not a lot of seasoning on the rice for that reason. Then they cook the scallops, lobster, chicken and steak right in front of you. Nice service as well.“

“Was impressed with the speed at which orders were delivered. Everything was hot and very tasty. Staff is very friendly. This is my first visit of many!!“

“WOW!!! Best experience ever. The workers are so kind and caring, the food was amazing and fresh, and the service was quick and efficient. Best meal on campus, best people, I would recommend to anyone. The chef in the afternoon is awesome and genuine, always in a good mood.“

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

“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.“

“As a Korean, I was not expecting much from this Korean restaurant in Hamilton… I don’t even know if there are any Korean grocery stores for them to get the necessary ingredients.
But when the food came out it was legit. Like legit, legit!
In Toronto this restaurant would rate a 8.5, but in Hamilton, it’s a 10!!!“

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