Well made and affordable Omakase sushi. Presentation can be improved, but overall happy.

A friend and I had the omakase here and everything was great! Service was wonderful, the waitresses were very attentive and the food was brought out in a timely manner. Everything tasted really fresh. The toro was so good we had to get an extra serving of it before desert! Price was really fair compared to the other omakase options around the area. All in all a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!

We had the omakase with uni. Everything our group had was amazing, some of us were not the biggest fans of the fried ebi.
For the price, it is a really solid value.

I had the opportunity to eat a whole Sushi today. What wonderful food. Everything was very fresh, tasty, professionally prepared and pleasant. Chef Masa was excellent as were his colleagues. Nothing was less than excellent. I will return again and again. If you are looking for sushi in LA this is the place. Get ready to wait for a table, the sushi bar is great. But worth the wait. Enjoy.

I’m surprised by the positive reviews for this Japanese restaurant. It’s on a nondescript parking lot/strip mall like many other places In LA. The setting is nice enough. What really ticket me off was the food. Ordered peppers as a starter which were bland and uninteresting with a weird sauce. Let’s forget about that. The sushi arrived nicely presented, but that was it for the experience. The fish was not very tasty and the rice was slightly dry and bland. Overall very underwhelming. Don’t waste your time and just go straight to Sugar fish. A far better experience overall and half the price ????????

If you ordered omakase, definitely need to add the uni and otoro sushi. Great food with reasonable price. The omakase is 85 per person, additional 15 if you want to add a otoro and a uni sushi.

Hamasaku is great! I came here quite late at night. I thought about that one episode of Worth It, where Steven and Andrew came here. Parking was fair enough, as it was a strip mall. Unfortunately, it’s not very visible unless you look closely at the area, thus making it somewhat a hidden gem.
As with all sushi joints in LA, everything is hella expensive! However, your money is well spent here. Their absolutely phenomenal omakase is only 85$ [And yes, I said only, because places like Kanpai are in the 3 digits zone, and I argue the stuff here is better.]
The starting dish, snow crab salad was bomb! Nice and fresh; a good start to your meal. Sashimi is as fresh as ever, and it’s more like butter than fish! Delicious. Sushi is extremely tasty, and each nigiri piece is unique. Lastly, their cheesecake for dessert was very interesting, and made a satisfying wrap-up.
The staff is very patient and the atmosphere is downtempo but not intimate, which is quite uncommon in a lot of restaurants. All in all, I really enjoyed my meal here. Eat the sushi with your hands, and the sashimi with your chopsticks! That makes it better??? [Or so I’ve heard]
I will be back. Thank you Hamasaku!

Excellent omakase experience! To begin with, I would like to call their sushi 'aroma sushi'. All the dishes come with some creative addition of novel tastes and scents. Sushi dish was served seven times in total and each dish came with two pieces. All tasted extremely fresh, tender, and juicy! Spain tuna, one of the seasonal fish pieces, even tasted chewy. Actually, I was a little disappointed at the first dish of sashimi because of too ordinary tuna (It's still better and more tender in taste). But shortly after it, I got totally amazed and entertained with the series of the following gorgeous sushi dishes. There was a mix of new tastes and familiar ones but with far more upgraded taste sensations. Overall, great pleasure and happy meal it was for sure! Also, the last dish (the traditional Japanese ice creams) was extremely enjoyable! Particularly, lychee ice cream was too surprising! I like lychee (a fruit) but I've never imagined it can turn into an ice cream before. Thumbs up!
향이 살아있는 스시. 독특한 면이 있어서 재미있음! 사시미 투나 한점 빼고 전부 미각을 상당히 자극함! 간장 맛이 너무 좋음.

A fusion Japanese restaurant, with bright and comfortable decor. The appetizers, such as the two salads were both pretty good, fresh assorted salads with refreshing dressings. The raw fish slices and the sushi were delicious, fresh sweet sashimi. I especially enjoyed the San Diego uni! The rock shrimp tempuras had light coating, gently fried, firm meat, tasty dressing, excellent! Services were excellent also, very attaintive! The only thing was the small shopping mall had very limited parking, so valet parking only!
