| - I hadn't been to this Hamada in years, but Friday night after Iron Man 2 was sold out at Town Square, I REALLY wanted some Miso soup to soothe my scrathy throat at 11pm. This place is close to my house and I knew it was open, so we stroll in and there is no one in there. Maybe 1 other table. Ambiance is nice, but I have to comment on our crazy ass, yet mildly entertaining waitress. So we sit down and she comes over decked out in Geisha attire straight out of Japan and I think of "Memoirs of a Geisha" and those pictures flash into my head. I order the Oohlong tea, some sushi rolls, and my miso soup. I am not kidding when she does the "miso soup dance". I don't even know how to describe this, imagine a young asian woman with a black version of Anna Wintours hair cut do a chicken dance and sing a strange, vaguely English song, about miso soup. I look at Alex, and i'm like " Can I please have some of whatever she is on?". Kind of amazing. My tea was spectacular, I swear I would go back just for the hot tea (I love tea in general). The Miso soup was good, but the sushi was just mediocre at best. I have definitely had better. The Anna Wintour Geisha came back and was on top of us and very sweet, and even did another little dance about my tea. Tea, 2 sushi rolls, and miso soup came out to $17. Which is pretty cheap for Hamada. Then again, when you go to a sushi restaurant you expect to have good sushi, right? So I would go back to try a few of their other menu items but I don't know if i'd do sushi again. The interior is beautiful, and the waitress gave me an experience to remember. So eh, 3 stars for the food & 5 for the service. So I think a 4 is fair until I go back and try it again.
