Took a chance on this spot due to the mixed reviews, and it paid off! I placed an order via phone, and they quoted me 15-20 minutes, and when I arrived 20 minutes later it was ready. When I walked in with my infant daughter, two very friendly women welcomed us in and came out to greet my daughter, even handed her a candy. Yes, this place was empty when I arrived, but since a majority of restaurant business is takeout based, this is not surprising or concerning. They had 10 takeout orders lined up, clearly indicating demand on a Friday evening. I ordered the volcano roll, shrimp tempura roll, and miso soup. I was impressed by the small touches, such as the miso being wrapped in plastic and placed on a piece of cardboard to ensure it did not slide around in the packaging. The sushi was well presented and looked appetizing. The miso soup was very good. I agree with prior reviews that it's a bit salty, but I like my miso that way. Both the shrimp tempura roll and volcano roll were very good. The pieces were cut uniformly and rolled tightly. The rice to fish ratio was good, and the amount of fish in each roll was generous. The fish tasted fresh, and I personally preferred that the spicy sauce was not overwhelming in ratio or taste to the fish. read more

The sushi and Korean bibimbap both were good. The miso soup was a little too salty. The service was good and quick.

Came here after traveling and flying into Dulles. Plenty of seating. friendly waitress and fast service. was not too busy at least during our visit. Delightfully surprise at the quality and quantity give the area in VA. Mostly order rolls. Food: The spread came out all at once. Nice! has tamago (5.95), unagi roll (8.95), spider roll ($12.75). tiger roll (9.75), and miso soup (2.95) tamago, only 2 pieces. The rolls I had were good and nicely presented. No regrets on any of the selection. Felt just right in terms of fullness after a day of traveling. friend had added on salmon and sweet potato. Did not try their portion* come try! read more

**** 3 1/2 Stars **** ------------------------------------- First of all, thank you to Yelp Friend, Hannah H., who recently dined at Hama Sushi and now wanted to see my review :). That got us thinking how it's been years since we've eaten here. At one time, many, many moons ago, this was our go-to place for Japanese food. We went so often that the staff got to know us. It was where our daughter got introduced to sushi and like us, enjoyed having it, too. All was going very well, until...the long gone restaurant that shared a wall with them and written up more than once by the health department, caused Hama Sushi to have a bug problem. While we knew it wasn't their fault, the owners at the time didn't want to get the other restaurant in trouble. Sadly, for us, it was time to find another Japanese restaurant. Recently, the reviews have been great. The place got remodeled. This got us thinking, especially after seeing Hannah H.'s review, that it was time to give them another try. We were here on a Sunday around 6 p.m. and immediately greeted and seated. Looking around, it was clear that the place had a face lift. The layout was as we remembered it to be. The only noticeable difference was that the tatami room was now a spot for private gatherings. Overall, it still had that vibe of being a calm and relaxing place to have a meal. We decided that we both would have a "combination" dinner and ordered one called "The Shogun". This is what "The Shogun" was supposed to have in it: "Sashimi: Tuna, white fish, fresh salmon, octopus. Tempura: crispy shrimp and assorted veggie tempura, Chef's special bean sprout salad, California roll, fruit and miso soup". What came to the table: Sashimi: salmon, tuna and white fish. Tempura: crispy shrimp and assorted veggies which were ---sweet potato, potato, zucchini and eggplant. California roll, fruit which was half an orange, a piece of cooked salmon, some daikon and shredded cabbage and the miso soup. So...no Chef's special bean sprout and no octopus. The piece of salmon was terrible. It was a very small piece that was overcooked and filled with bones which rendered it mostly inedible. There was no explanation as to why there was no Chef's special bean sprout salad or octopus. In all fairness, we only noticed what was missing after we went home and took a good look at the menu. Except for the cooked salmon, all the other items were good. The sushi and sashimi was fresh. The tempura arrived hot and crispy. Miso soup was piping hot and full bodied when it came to flavor. The orange was a nice ending to the meal. On the plus side, service was otherwise very attentive without being obtrusive. I had a glass of plum wine which was good quality. My husband had a Kirin Ichiban. We do plan to go back and will stick with the sushi and sashimi. Doing so, seems to be much simpler and we know we will get good quality fish. read more

I'm a fan of Hama Sushi! I didn't know that they had an actual brick-and-mortar in Herndon, but I was able to stop by their sushi counter at a local hospital's food court. I was excited to find this place, as I love sushi and maki rolls - their menu included salads, specialty rolls, maki rolls, sushi combinations, as well as a chef's special. I ordered: +a Salmon Avocado Roll +a Spicy Tuna Roll Both these rolls were made-to-order; the salmon and the tuna were super fresh, the sushi rice was cooked perfectly, and, the sets come with a packet of soy sauce, a mound of wasabi, and pickled ginger. Such a filling meal, as the amount of fish was generous - I could usually scarf down 2-3 rolls, but I was struggling with just 1 set! Service was super friendly and welcoming, and very kind! Be sure to check out this local sushi spot out! +delicious, fresh maki rolls +friendly & kind staff read more

Went with my family for a sushi dinner and was really disappointed. The food was not good at all and it was extremely overpriced. We went on a Friday night and the restaurant was empty. We should have taken that as a sign and left. read more

It was moving day and I was hungry and happened upon Hama Sushi! Let me tell you, from the second I walked in I felt welcome! Greeted promptly with a smile and led to a nice booth..settled in to order! We ordered some sushi and a few maki rolls after enjoying the beef dumplings and steamed shrimp shumai..all I can say is that everything we ordered was gone within 20 minutes! Not because the portions were small, which they aren't, not because we were hungry, because we were! Because every single dish was on point! Wonderfully decorated and every staff member we interacted with was so dang nice! We will so be back! read more

Great chef! He made us the spicy tuna sandwich, futomaki as prefect as though we were in Japan, and one of the best hamachi kamas ever. Nice decor and unbelievably fair price. Fresh fish and even fresher nori. What a change from some of the other sushi bars. read more

Oh my goodness! I love this place. I wish I lived closer. Stopped for dinner on the way back from the airport. They are SO friendly and welcoming here. The food here was very good and more than substantial for our family of 3! Our lovely server (forgot to get her name because I was too busy captivated by their hospitality!) gave us complimentary miso soup and yummy strawberries at the end. Would be very fun to take the whole family here! They have a really cute back room for parties more than 6. read more

One of the worst customer service. Owner was upset when my daughter called her over respectfully, she was very upset answering , we asked for tea and she was upset still...., snatched menus out of our hands, and we decided to leave with her angry attitude. While leaving she thought we didn't see her and we found her cursing at us around the corner, and when she saw us she immediately smiling customer face. This has become one of the worst customer service that we have ever had in the US. Our order was over $200 by the way. read more

This is the best place to eat sushi or teriyaki salmon if you are in the Dulles or Herndon area. Hama Sushi is a family owned business that provides excellent service with a charming music selection. It's also a great place for large group lunches or corporate dinners. Additionally they have Tatami Room if you would like an authentic Japanese dining experience. read more

Overpriced for what you get. Much better quality and value for sushi near by like Sushi Ume or Ariake. A lunch special and a drink shouldn't cost over $20. I ordered tempura udon and the bowl size was underwhelming. The California roll was pathetically small. They seem to be cheap on portion size. Like I said better quality and better value elsewhere. read more

Me and my family of 5 would come here every once in a while and it was always a highlight of my week, I recommend for any family in Herndon, VA, hands down, if you want good sushi, pull up here read more

I have been coming to Hama Sushi for a few years. They have gotten better and better. A couple years ago when I started coming here there was some inconsistency. However, in the last year they have improved and become very consistent as well as going above and beyond. Chefs are really good and you can tell they put lots of work into their food. I have always walked away from Hama with food I love. Today I got Kobe beef sushi( won't see it in the pic because I was really hungry & smelled really great!) -Thin piece of fatty/melt in your mouth beef with vinegar onions and a ponzu sauce Shrimp &Veggie tempura -Everything fried in a light crispy batter and NOT oily at all fried shumai -very crispy skin on the outside and perfectly cooked shrimp on the inside Salmon and avocado roll -fresh tasting salmon and fresh avocado It's really great place and one of the best for the rates in the area I never given such a high rating( because I believe in everyone can approve) But they truly do deserve it! Go try them today! read more

Great kalbi. Nicely charred with a rare center and juicy meat. A nice little sauteed veggie medley on the side, but I miss the banchan.

Excellent quality in a lovely environment. Short wait time for food and prepared exquisitely. Tables and restrooms are clean. It's clear that they put care and effort into maintaining a delightful dining experience. Wife and I visited at peak dinner hours on Valentine's Day; was served quickly and with grace. We've been to a few Sushi restaurants in the area for years and we love coming here for the authenticity. They've never waived in quality, even through the pandemic. Highly recommended - please support Hama Sushi! read more

We always enjoy our visits to Hama Sushi over the years but this New Year's Eve we especially loved the sushi platters prepared by our friends at Hama Sushi. Our growing family gathering now is at 30 people so the logistics for a catered sushi were complex but Hama Sushi made certain to have the staff on hand and everything worked perfectly! Thanks again for the wonderful food and service, from our entire family. read more

We've been coming here for the past three years. The staff are super friendly and the food is amazing and reasonably priced.

I'm a huge sushi snob and have had a very hard time finding good sushi near us after moving to Herndon. We gave Hama a shot on a whim a few months ago and have been hooked since. The fish has been consistently fresh. And the nabeyaki udon is authentic and a great deal, bc you get tempura, veg, and loads of noodles. The wait staff are very attentive and always seem to remember us. Hama has a welcoming and cozy atmosphere. read more

This place is a gem. I've had several dishes here; the sushi, sashimi, apps and the hot stone bowl. Well, I visited with a friend and tried the udon curry soup and my life was changed. This soup is a thick curry base with udon, fish cakes, chicken, spinach and egg. I couldn't finish it and discovered it was even better after being in the fridge overnight... all the flavors soaked in and it was amazing. The employees are all very sweet and the service is prompt and friendly. read more
