| - Hamada's been a staple of Vegas dining for two decades. Located on Flamingo and Paradise in Restaurant Row, their new building houses some of the best Japanese food and sushi in town. You'll pay the price for the quality you get, but the experience is worth it.
The large, dark wood dining area makes the space intimate despite the fact that it's pretty big. It's bar is hopping on the weekend with tourists and locals alike, coming in before or after the show for a drink and some sushi. The hostesses are a delight, and the service has always been great.
I'm a fan of tempura. A really, really big fan. A nice big piece of sweet potato tempura can make my day, and I don't say that lightly.
"So, Crystal, how's it going today?"
"Oh, not too bad. Well, you know, my dog died and I have shin splints and I got fired, but I went to Hamada and had this AMAZING sweet potato tempura, so life if great."
And Hamada, just like everything they do, does tempura right. All of their selections have always hit the spot. Their teriyaki is light and not too sweet, the rolls are big, fresh and satisfying, and although they have some of the freshest and most delicious sushi in town, their fish tank is still full of colorful friends to keep you company.
For locals in the vicinity, they have lunch specials that are out of this world! For under $10, you can get a chicken teriyaki/shrimp and veggie tempura combo that's available for dine in and carry out.
Tatami rooms and Teppan grills are also available, making Hamada a great one stop place that does everything right.
