Hamono Sushi offers a great value for the price, especially with the unique combination of omakase and all-you-can-eat.
Some highlights for our group were the A5 wagyu, toro, and scallops. The uni toro tartare was good, although the toro-to-chip ratio could have been better. The spicy edamame was salty but addicting. Yellowtail snapper was tasty, but the cut and presentation could be improved.
That said, the salmon was just okay, which was disappointing since our group loves salmon. The ikura was a bit too boozy for my liking. We were also bummed that the seared ika was on the menu but not included in our omakase, and the buri-hara was unavailable even though it’s listed on the all-you-can-eat menu.
Dessert-wise, the green tea cheesecake was the best option. The mochi ice cream tasted like standard grocery-store mochi, and the Japanese sweet potato ice cream was just okay.
Service was friendly, especially from our server Natana, but the restaurant was clearly understaffed with only one waitress and one trainee handling the entire floor. Expect longer wait times for water, refills, and requests. They could definitely use at least two more front-of-house staff members.
Overall, it’s a solid experience for the price, with some great dishes, but there’s room for improvement in consistency and staffing.

I think this was a good one time experience. It is AYCE so perhaps the $100 pp is justified. The omakase was alright. It came with a sake pairing and they were quite generous. The staff was super efficient and very tentative. Everything came out pretty quickly. I enjoyed the ratio of rice to fish. Also wish they had asked whether we were okay with sitting at the high tops.

Known for fish, but ramen was amazing and I’ll go back for that. Also interesting veggie roll with lots of avocado and ground nuts.

We made reservations for NYE dinner--it was full the whole time--yet those two ladies worked the floor like pros. The kitchen was short-staffed but paced each dish perfectly. I loved the selections and flavors, even getting to try a few new dishes. Best chawanmushi I've ever had, even in Japan. Most dishes were delicious but not the best I've had. I was really surprised by how unimpressed I was with the wagyu. I didn't have a bad dish and wished I could have kept eating. The salmon was great, uni was buttery, the udon was chewy. I wish the tasty unagi don would have been warm. It was really delicious. The green tea cheese cake was a perfect ending.
The service was great in every way: friendly, there when we needed them without hovering, water was always topped off and needs never went unmet.
The space was tiny but beautiful. I rarely find a place that's taken so much of the aesthetic into consideration.

Absolutely best quality! At very reasonable prices the owner is amazing. And we'll make sure your night is one to remember. Just make sure to get the Toro and King Salmon. Everything in house fresh handmade meant to sell out every night!!🔪😁🤤

Beyond impressed with the omakase experience. The quality of the fish is incredible, everyone who helped us was wonderful, and it really is all you can eat. Portion sizes are perfect as well. The chef’s selection was beautiful, and all of the AYCE nigiri was perfect as well. Additionally tried the inari poke, chashu don, takoyaki, and green tea cheesecake and they were all incredible.

The galaxy roll comes with soft shell crab inside, the tempura was still warm when served, which was nice. The citrusy sauce is quite forward so I would recommend dipping soy sauce to complement. My problem is with the fish on top, which were not decent pieces but more like scrap pieces. I guess for the price it’s ok.
The Osaka roll comes with takoyaki in the middle and seems like an interesting idea, however the takoyaki flavor completely overpowers the eels and tempura shrimp, so it’s almost like just eating takoyaki.
The miso soup and seaweed salad were ok.
The service was very slow - although they are very responsive when we flag them. When we got the seat the waitress said we only have an hour or so because there’s a reservation afterwards; we were in a hurry anyway so that was ok. However, it took maybe 10 minutes to get our order in, 20 minutes to get our rolls, and only 10 minutes for us to eat. Granted there was one big table, but I think it could have been coordinated better.
Came here for my 20th wedding anniversary. We each got the omakase. It was a delight.

This is the real deal. I felt like I was off a cozy little alleyway in Tokyo. Great staff and wonderful food. From start to finish , these folks know what they are doing. My family has had to think about how many times a year to visit. It's so special!

This place is so good I am almost afraid to give it a good review for fear it will get too popular. It's all you can eat sushi for $100 and includes unlimited amounts of even the fanciest things like Bluefin Toro and A5 Wagyu. Do I really need to say more? Well, yes. You also get a whole Omakase course with fish I had never heard of before, and a Sake flight. When I heard about this I wanted to come immediately because I feel like this can't stay at $100 for long!

Wait, all you can eat premium omakase sushi for $100 in Portland? Yes, please! After opening the meal with crab miso soup, the first 13 pieces chosen by Chef Jamie were well prepared and presented. Then a comforting chawanmushi, before the flood gates were open for AYCE. My favorites were king salmon and toro nigiri, and the toro roll and uni toro hand rolls (limit 2). Also included are three pours of saké and dessert!
Service was friendly and informative. Reservations strongly recommended.

If u could give more stars I would!!! The omakase experience for $100 pp was an unreal feast. The fish was so fresh and high quality we would have been happy with just the chefs selection tasting. After that it turns into all you can eat and we had more sushi than I can count. Tremendous value. Amazing flavor, even better staff.
