Hamada of Japan, Las Vegas


Forget Todai's. If the only reason why you go eat at those buffet sushi places is to kill the sushi, then go to Hamada instead. This place served up both sushi and rolls (no Sashimi unfortunately) and it was FRESH fish.

I've only tried one other restaurant that does the "all-you-can-eat to order," and that place CLEARLY packed on the rice so you'd get full faster. Plus, they made that lousy rule where if you have left over rice they'll charge you extra bucks. Whatever. Hamada of Japan also said if we don't finish our sushi they'd charge us as well, but at least they didn't pack on the rice!

Albeit they sorta messed up our order multiple times (like they gave us 8 albacore instead of 4 albacore, 4 yellowtail) it's not like it stopped you from ordering the yellowtail that was missing from your original order. Story- so BF really loves salmon. After our first sushi and roll plates, we order a second round of salmon- 4 orders (8 pieces) of salmon and some other variety of sushi. only 2 orders of salmon came out and we're all confused. It's not like they had a policy against how much you could order per order. Anyways, I think our waitress just thought that we couldn't finish it, so she cut our salmon order in half. No problemo..we ordered salmon 3 more times. Do not underestimate us.

Now the only draw to eating here is that the selection IS rather small. And for people with a sweet tooth, it's unfortunate they don't include ANY type of dessert in your buffet. It's a shame they didn't offer any green tea ice cream. I've sorta learned to expect it after eating loads of sushi. B+/A- for all-you-can-eat sushi.
