Hamachi is packed on a Monday at lunchtime, with delivery people so crowded in the doorway that one can hardly get in...that is a good sign, of course, though you wonder if you have entered the wrong way. Once fully inside, the restaurant has comfortable booths and friendly service. The menu is full of unusual combinations of various fish and vegetables mixed in rolls, combinations that are hard to imagine, but may be wonderful or may not be. Since this was new to me, I ordered a sushi lunch set and a clear soup I expected to be a Japanese clear soup. The sushi set came with a salad, that came covered in heavy dressing. (Note that we were asked about allergies not about whether we wanted dressing or not.) The salad was basically lettuce, not exciting. The clear soup was mushroom broth, no relation to Japanese clear soup which has a fish stock. It was not what I thought I was ordering. My sushi set also was a reasonable size but just not exciting., None of the fish had any distinctive flavor. So I cannot say I had anything to complain about, but Hamachi is a place for a quick, satisfactory, reasonably priced lunch but in NYC, there are a lot of other choices. read more

Went to Hamachi 34 for a dinner date and was pleasently pleased. We ordered the Pork Char Siu fried rice, Hamachi Roll, and Sushi Sandwhich. We also ordered a bottle of sake and another cocktail that I honestly forgot the name of. The food was good, but it did feel like there were some things missing because it didnt hit the spot fully. The sushi sandwhich was also really heavy with rice, which I understand, but I wasnt able to taste the flavors of the fish as much because of that. The waiter was really nice and helped us pick out a bottle of sake to try, which we enjoyed. She also gave us recommendations for entree options when we asked as well. The place itself is decorated really nicely with figurines, manga, and Japanese themed things. Rrally fun and cool place to try out! read more

Impressive atmosphere cultivated with nonstop artwork and Asian flair from ceiling to ground. Really unique decorations which draws you in for a homey dining experience. I appreciated the effort to be unique with certain sushi dishes having some flair, although overall was quite an average taste experience. read more

Went for a quick bite on a Sunday afternoon and was pleasantly surprised. The service was very quick and attentive. I loved the theme throughout the restaurant, super cute! Food came out in probably 10 minutes or so, definitely helped that it was not too busy. The Rock N Roll is my favorite! The Kani Salad was bigger than expected so great value. Will definitely be returning if I am ever in the area. read more

The food is great. I love going here during my lunch break. It's perfect to call beforehand and pick up because they're usually always ready. I've had 2 inches or maybe three where I did go and order and let's just say only one of those times I received it within 10 minutes. The ambience is very nice. It's dim lit with wonderful Japanese theme things around and I love the anime the Pokémon as well as seeing Goku just hanging around the shop. It was very nice, especially since I am familiar with a little bit of Dragon Ball Z it was very refreshing to see during my work hours. read more

Came in with a group of 8 and was promptly seated. The decor was so much fun. As a Pokémon and anime fan, the ambiance fit our steez. Popped in for an early dinner and was pleasantly surprised that it was happy hour. They had a plethora of apps and drinks to choose from. The matcha IPA was good. But the white Yuzu IPA was even better. The crispy rice with spicy salmon was a fun take. However the stickiness of the rice added and extra chew to the bite. Takoyaki was perfectly cooked with a great portion for a HH special. Cucumber salad was refreshing. The two highlight were the hot girl roll was so good we ordered two. And the pizza with scallion pancake crust and salmon, tuna, yellow tail topping was surprisingly amazing. Will definitely come back when in the area read more

Solid casual spot for traditional rolls and sushi spot offerings. Everything is decently priced. Walked in on a weekend late afternoon and the place was starting to get packed towards the evening. We ordered a few items off their Happy Hour menu + a few off the regular menu. HH weekdays are 4-7 pm + weekends 5-7 pm, FYI! What we got: - Crispy Rice: Great bite-sized pieces; filling! - Gyoza / Kani Salad: Good, standard bites - Sex on the Beach Roll / Rainbow Roll: Both were tasty with fresh fish! The fish:rice ratio were on point as well! - Shrimp & Veg Tempura: Crispy, fresh, and delicious. Overall, I'd deem this as a reliable neighborhood spot. Would definitely recommend + return for when I'm in the mood for casual sushi! read more

Great service. Very friendly staff. Attentive with water refilling and order details. One of the rolls we order was a salmon cucumber. When the rolls came, there came a salmon avocado roll instead of a salmon cucumber. When she introduced each roll, she said salmon cucumber from her memory whilst looking at the salmon avocado and caught that the roll was incorrect. I don't know if she would've remembered if it was busier (there were only 2 occupied tables when we visited), but that attentiveness and memory was impressive. The sushi itself wasn't bad. I wouldn't recommend the raw fish rolls, nigri, or sashimi because the spicy yellowtail roll and salmon cucumber roll were oddly tasteless. Usually there probably is some vinegar-y seasoning in sushi rice that I wouldn't even think to note, but the plain fish rolls were just so tasteless, unlike how the same rolls would taste at other places. The special rolls were good though, probably because they had more sauce. The dragon roll and rainbow rolls we got were good, although the rainbow roll did mostly taste like the snowcrab mayo mix filling, which I don't mind. The Sushi Sandwich Roll was very filling. It had a heavy mayo taste, and the texture was all mush. I feel like some crunch texture would've helped, maybe from some raw veggies. The amount feels like it was two rolls in one, so for the price it's great. I probably would get it again if I was really hungry! The sushi roll pieces were not small, and I like that the filling to rice ratio was like 80-20. I really appreciate them not using a ton of rice and not skimping on the filling. I also like that this place uses a crab and mayo mix in their rolls rather than just a stick of imitation crab. Most places in NYC / the East Coast I see just use an imitation cran stick. Overall, not a bad little sushi restaurant! The interior is cozy, and I'd love to return to try their many other rolls! read more

This spot is always going viral on social media for how affordable their sushi is and I finally paid them a visit and I agree the hype is real! I really enjoyed their sushi and I haven't seen a spot that has such a great price for crispy rice. Happy hour here is top notch and includes weekends too. I started with a Shirley Temple which was standard and $5. For happy hour bites, I got the Crispy Rice w. Spicy Tuna. Crispy Rice w. Spicy Salmon, and Pork Gyoza. The crispy rice bites are so flavorful and there are 6 in an order. $8 for that is insanely good. The gyoza dumplings were also juicy with a nice fried bottom. As for the sushi, the quality of fish they use is amazing and they don't skimp. The Kani Salad was fresh and the Rainbow Roll and Sex On The Beach Roll both had lots of filling and a good fish to rice ratio. I also tried their Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura. Their tempura is classic and simple, with a nice side of white rice and comes with soup or salad. Service was good. The waiters kept coming to our table to ask if we needed anything or wanted to order more. It's also quite spacious inside. The sushi bar is towards the back and they have one restroom. read more

We are addicted to this place. We eat here at least once a week and are amazed at the amount of carryout business.

A very solid neighborhood sushi restaurant in Murray Hill. Ordered the Hot Girl Roll ($17) and the Godzilla Roll ($16.50). Both were very solid, although I probably would have been fine with just ordering one or the other as I was super stuffed after consuming both. Would come back again in the future. read more

Came here with a friend on a weekday evening, and didn't have to wait! Their happy hour drink and food deals are quite food. We got the spicy tuna crispy rice, which was a good portion but not my favorite crispy rice. The rice was very hard and a bit stale. For our mains, we shared the yellowtail jalapeño roll, salmon avocado, and tiger roll. The rice to fish ratio was CHEFS KISS - better than most fancier sushi places I've been. The flavors weren't anything too special, but great value. Highly recommend for a casual dinner! I also see they have good lunch deals, so I will be returning. read more

Bit of a rough review I'm afraid. 5/5 decor, friendly staff and available tables at peak time on Friday night. Quick with the tap water which I appreciate 4/5 Only one bathroom but clean and sink outside so you don't spend as much time inside the bathroom. No towels or hand dryer I assume that's an oversight on a busy Friday night. 3/5 house salad is fine, miso soup is fine. Not good not bad just average 2/5 the sushi and sashimi were not good, they weren't actively gooey or rancid, but they were the worst non lethal sushi I've had. I have had sushi that was 1/5 I sent it back to the kitchen. this was just like eating rubbery air, zero taste, nothing good but again it wasn't rancid. If you can't do sushi, what kind of sushi restaurant are you ? 1/5 nothing this bad Overall going to give it a 3/5, the price was low for nyc sushi, maybe it's farmed? Maybe it's frozen? Maybe it's the worst cut, but it's filling and priced low and they sat us right away. $68 for 2 of us and that included a 20% tip. We did not finish the sushi or the sashimi, hopefully someone in the kitchen sent it to a good home. read more

Solid spot from uber eats-- the sushi deluxe was tasty and well worth the price.

The katsu also looked great. Cheers! read more

The decoration was amazing and the service is good so I honestly feel bad for leaving this review however I was SO DISAPPOINTED with the food. I can swear I've never eaten such a bad sweet potato roll before ever. The sweet potato was literally HARD TO CHEW like it was NOT FULLY COOKED and the sushi was literally ice cold. This is also the first time I am so certain a food is not fresh. I've never left a bad review for restaurants EVER before so trust me I was really shocked. The ambiance was very relaxing too but the food was just so bad. I was STARVING and I still couldn't enjoy it at the slightest. read more

I've ordered takeout from Hamachi 34 and was impressed with the efficiency and quality of my meal both times. Good combo deals too - a three roll combo is under $20 with a wide selection to choose from. The sushi deluxe combo is also a good deal with a generous 10 pieces of nigiri and a tuna roll for $30. Fresh fish and a nice balance of sushi rice to fish. Satisfying meal even when eaten alone in your hotel room. Service is also really friendly. Once they were about to close up but rushed out an order for me. Worth dining in if you can spare the time. read more

Overall rating: 4.6 Price: $21.83 w/ tip I have been so excited to try this after all of the hype on social media. When I went around 8pm, I decided to just order out. The sushi sandwich originally was only on the lunch menu, but due to the hype it's now available all time. It's not in the menu yet, but it will be. I would have given the meal a 5 if there wasn't imitation crab. It acted as paste and had too much mayo. Still really good but not sure I'd go back again. I do think based on the popularity, maybe they'll have different options in the future. I'll be back for that! read more

Ordered takeout from Hamachi 34 for dinner tonight! First off, the inside is small with a few tables and booths. The interior is decorated nicely and authentically to its Japanese culture. Ambiance rate: 8/10. The staff were friendly and service was quick being my order was ready as soon as I got there. Staff/service: 8/10. The rolls I ordered were: 1. Sushi sandwich (Pizza Roll): This was my favorite roll by far! I loved the sandwich concept of it with the variety of fish packed together by the rice! The flavor of the sauce and fish mixed together made it taste very delicious. Rate 9.5/10. 2. Sexy on the Beach Roll: This roll had a strong and yummy salmon flavor. Although it was simple, it was still good! Rate 7.5/10. 3. Summertime Roll: This roll was mediocre. It lacked snow crab and wasabi mayo, and instead had too much cream cheese. I liked the mango on top though. Rate 6.5/10. 4. Volcano Roll: This roll was very underwhelming and disappointing. It was NOT spicy AT ALL which was what I was anticipating considering the "spicy" ingredients it includes, and its name "Volcano roll." The roll didn't taste bad, it was just falsely advertised. Rate 5/10. Overall, I enjoyed some of the rolls I ordered from Hamachi 34. However, I wouldn't order from here again mainly because I'd like to try other sushi places in the city. read more

I ordered via Uber Eats and the food was disappointing. The yakisoba is drenched in sesame oil, so that's all you taste. The salmon skin salad, had the worst fishy aftertaste, it might be better to package the salmon skin on the side so it stays fresh. The rolls and the bento box are subpar, even for fast casual sushi. read more

Offers a decent price price for plenty of selection in a nice, eclectic atmosphere. We came here on a rainy day craving some sushi and stumbled across this place on Yelp. The inside it filled to the brim with various Japanese-theme items and decor from anime to traditional posters. Service was fast and attentive as there were not many people during our dinner time. We ordered a sushi boat to share between two and found that is was the right amount. We could have ate more but for the price I think it was apt. Quality was as expected for the price. Nothing was bad or off putting in any way, but nor was anything a standout. This is a great place to go for quantity and a great time! read more

Hamachi 34 is a good spot for sushi that will not break the bank, but I would not travel a distance to eat here. Hamachi 34 is doing brisk business, with a full house on a Monday evening and people walking in the door. Delivery people are steadily picking up orders. I ordered their ultra value proposition of three rolls for $18 at dinner, which becomes $15 at lunch. The three rolls I ordered were spicy tuna, salmon skin, and shrimp avocado and added the Flying Dragon Roll of the Chef Special Menu. If you have had high end sushi, Hamachi 34 will impress you for its value proposition. If you are one who does not care about the different levels of tuna fattiness or are a sushi roll person who is not terribly concerned about nigiri or sashimi,then this is the place and it's priced right. The busy house is indicative of how good a value it is. So the details count with sushi and the soy sauce they have is pretty good, but the pickled ginger is on the dry side and the wasabi is far from freshly ground and is barely passable. The restaurant uses decent wooden disposable sticks and napkins. Let me get the surprising worst of the rolls out of the way first: the spicy tuna roll. It did not taste fresh nor did it have the desired texture and consistency. So the spicy tuna roll fell flat for my tastes. The shrimp avocado roll was surprisingly good in contrast, with good texture and freshness. The salmon skin roll was the best of the three, with crispness in texture highlighting its pop in flavor. I have found salmon skin rolls to be a "cannot miss with this" item and Hamachi 34 did not miss. I deliberated over whether to go with the regular Dragon Roll or the Flying Dragon Roll. Owing to their average at best spicy tuna, this put a damper on an otherwise excellent Flying Dragon Roll. The eel is coating the roll and is abundant for those who like eel. There is some sort of crunchy element inside to give a juxtaposed texture. If the spicy tuna were hittin' here, you would have an outstanding Flying Dragon Roll. I did not have anything else on the menu, but these rolls would give any sushi restaurant an opportunity to show what they can do. Perhaps Mondays are not the best for freshness here, but it remains to be seen if Hamachi 34 can improve upon the inconsistent experience next time I visit. Three stars read more

Came here with a reservation on a Sunday lunch with my family. We ordered the below dishes. We got the sashimi boat for 2 and shared it amongst the 3 of us. It was definitely a huge portion and the sashimi was really good and tasted pretty fresh. We even had some leftovers to take home for dinner. The side dishes and the pork katsu dish were really good as well. Since there weren't too many people in the restaurant at the time, the server was really attentive to our needs and was super helpful. The inside of the restaurant is all decorated with anime and other Japanese trinkets which is really nice. The prices are also not insane considering the location. Definitely recommend dropping by if you're craving Japanese food in the area! read more

This is my new go-to sushi delivery spot. Their food is delicious, consistent and you can see how much care the staff has for its customers by the way they package their food. I have some dietary issues where I have to call them to let them know after I make the order and every time they have been so incredibly kind.
