" I visited Hamaei with some friends for dinner last Friday, and we had an overall joyful experience. I appreciated the variety on the menu. We ordered several rolls and shared dishes, and everything was wonderfully fresh. The highlight for me was the chirashi donburi, which was bursting with flavors. The service was good, although it took some time to get our drinks initially. The ambiance was nice enough, but a little louder than expected. I will definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hamaei has consistently produced some of the best sushi I've ever had. The chefs really know what they're doing, crafting each piece with precision and care. The service is typically prompt and knowledgeable about the menu. I love exploring the specials menu, which always offers something unique. It’s a bit pricier than your average sushi place, but the quality is by far worth every cent! " (*Curated Review*)

" I have been a fan of Hamaei for many years and, despite the recent changes in ownership, the quality of food remains top-notch! I often get the toro nigiri and the tempura, both of which were as good as ever. However, I did notice the ambiance seems to have changed slightly, likely due to new staff and management. I hope they continue to uphold the same standards I've come to expect as a regular customer! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tonight, my partner and I decided to treat ourselves to Hamaei for our anniversary. The experience was sublime! From the first bite of their fresh sashimi to every roll we ordered, everything tasted exceptional. The staff was friendly, ensuring we had everything we needed. The restaurant’s charm takes you straight to Japan—an intimate dining atmosphere that enhances the experience. The prices are a tad high, but the quality justifies it. We left feeling satisfied and already planning our next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes coming to Hamaei, and while the food met my expectations, the service was a bit slow. I was in for a solo lunch and loved the salmon sashimi and the chirashi donburi. They did not skimp on the fish, which was very fresh! The staff was pleasant, but my server took a while to check in on me. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and plan to return, but hopefully, the service can improve on my next visit. " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently discovered Hamaei after a friend recommended it, and I'm thrilled that I did! The quality of fish here is phenomenal; each bite of sashimi is tantalizing. I had the pleasure of trying their omakase, and I was impressed by the attention to detail. The service was friendly but could be faster during peak hours. Nonetheless, I am looking forward to going back and trying other dishes on their menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hamaei was an absolute delight. I came here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance is serene and inviting. The sushi arrived quickly and was beautifully plated. I ordered a variety of rolls; they were delicious, with a nice balance of flavors! The service was satisfactory, though I noticed they could be a bit more engaged. All in all, a lovely dining experience, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone! " (*Curated Review*)
