" I decided to try this restaurant on a Saturday night, and I was captivated by the lively atmosphere! The cooks are not just chefs but entertainers, which made the evening quite enjoyable. I had the chicken and veggie hibachi, and the flavors were simply amazing. The only improvement needed is maybe a little less soy sauce in some dishes, as the flavor can get overpowering. Overall, definitely worth a visit for the fun experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, a decent experience. The food was pretty good, though I did find the fried rice lacking in flavor compared to what I’ve had at other hibachi places. The service was okay but could use some improvement. Our server seemed overwhelmed and we waited too long for refills. The atmosphere was lively, which I appreciated, but it did feel cramped at times. I might return if I'm in the area, but not my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this restaurant has gone downhill. My last visit was disappointing. The rice was undercooked, and my meal lacked the flavors I remembered. We also had issues with service; our waitress seemed uninterested in our needs. I had high hopes based on prior visits. I don’t know if they changed owners or chefs, but I left feeling unsatisfied. I won’t be returning anytime soon unless I hear of significant improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Okay, let’s be honest; I've had better hibachi in other restaurants. I felt that while the food was decent, it didn't stand out compared to others nearby. The chef’s performance was entertaining, but the food was a bit bland, and I wasn't impressed with the fried rice—it felt too greasy. The wait time was long for a table, and I don’t think I’d rush back anytime soon. Just not my cup of tea. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hamada has always been a favorite, but I was disappointed during my recent visit. The food felt rushed, and my order was not prepared as requested. The server seemed overwhelmed, and I had to repeat my order multiple times. All that said, the food is generally good, and the atmosphere is fun if you're looking for a night out. Just hoping they can step up their service and consistency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hamada of Japan is a gem in the city! My family and I attended for a celebratory dinner, and it did not disappoint. The staff was friendly, and our hibachi chef was entertaining and attentive. The steak was cooked to perfection and the portion sizes were very generous—enough for a filling meal and leftovers for lunch the next day. The only downside was the long wait, but it was definitely worth it. I would return in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Hamada for a family dinner, and everyone loved it! The hibachi chef was fantastic and made our dinner very entertaining. The food was flavorful; I had the steak with some veggies, which was delicious! It was a bit on the pricey side, but definitely worth it for such an experience. Portions were large too; I had leftovers for lunch the next day! " (*Curated Review*)
