Hamada Fusion in Maple Ridge

Awesome ambiance clean and welcoming. Small serving portions considering the price. Maybe a good place for filipino dishes but not for sushi.

Went there for Filipino breakfast had sorts of Silogs (Longsilog, Tapsilog, Bangsilog, BBQ silog) it taste great esp the Tapsilog and they have good amount of serving too! Fantastic service as well, super friendly owner/staff. Great atmosphere. Super clean restroom. Definitely recommended if you re craving for Silogs. Will be coming back again.

My toddler and I ordered pan fried veggie gyoza, a Dynamite roll and a diet coke. We double checked that the gyoza was veggie when it was brought to the table, they confirmed it was. A few minutes later, after having cut it up for my daughter to cool down, they returned to say they had in fact made an error and it wasnt vegetarian. Luckily we hadnt ate any yet as we dont eat meat. They brought the veggie gyoza shortly after and kindly gave an extra couple of pieces. Unfortunately, between my daughter and I we could only stomach 1 between us as they were so saturated in oil and tasteless. The sauce was also pure sugar. I tried diluting it with soy but, it wasnt salvageable. Initially one server asked how our food was when wed tucked into the Dynamite roll which, I admit was alright despite being at least 25% more costly than our local favourite establishment. I paid the bill and tipped despite being incredibly disappointed as a first time customer. What was most annoying is, after having worked in the hospitality industry, if someone left 95% of their dish, Id ask why and either replace or comp it. Id also have been embarrassed serving something so poor from the kitchen. It was visibly inedible. They didnt seem bothered. I didnt want a fuss as my toddler was enjoying her rare lunch out but, sadly I wont be back. Edit: The owner kindly gave us spring rolls and miso soup to make up for our experience. We chose the spring rolls as we didnt want to gyoza again so, thats our decision. They were quite good and we are grateful for their effort. Sadly, no fault of the owners but, a warning to other customers... diamond parking are absolutely unrelenting. I was in the restaurant for less than 5 minutes, saw no clearly marked signage and parking spaces were limited yet somehow I was given an $86 ticket as I apparently parked in a small car space in our small pick up. I am disputing the ticket as even the staff member I spoke with said they couldnt see anything either. So, $6 just potentially cost me an extra $80. Worth trying the restaurant based on how well they handled things but, walk instead of drive because of the parking vultures trying to meet their quota. Updated to 3 stars overall from previous review.

OH WOW!! It surpris a me that we have a Filipino fusion in maple ridge!! Crispy pork belly garlic rice? Yes please!! Also could you make me some coffee craft drinks? You can?? We ll sign me up! Food : 5/5

Grilled pork belly was so delicious, will definitely be back to try all their Chef s Silogs

Recently went since rebranding, lots of new items on menu, ordered a variety of dishes, the pork belly was good along with the garlic rice, not as many rolls but they do have unique items. Was happy, the food was hot, and delicious. Service was great, the place is bright and clean So new the only real issue was that the appies did not come all together, they came one at a time and for a table of 4 was a bit challenging, same with the entrees. Will for sure give it another go!!!!!! Give then a bit more time to get organized.

New fusion restaurant and a must try! Amazing service with great atmosphere. Will definitely come back next time

Food is always good from here. Bench seats in booths have no cushioning and therefore very uncomfortable. Plus no music playing which takes away from the atmosphere.

-1 Hamada Sushi This was $20 for a half order of sashimi tuna Tataki which apparently only comes with four slices which seems ridiculous usually is six or seven and my slices were cut way too thick for the sashimi was very unenjoyable. Gomae was so grainy, was unable to finish eating it. Don t think I ll be going here again for A the taste and B the price.

She opened the door for me to let me out

$100 worth of food doesn t really get you much here. They Skimped out on Tobiko when I paid extra for it. The spicy tuna roll was not spicy at all. Seems they forgot to add the hot sauce. The seaweed salad was mostly lettuce. Everything tasted ok. Getting take out these days isn t cheap. I guess the restaurants are feeling the pinch too? Is that why they are skimping out on ingredients? Tough times we are in. I guess I will be eating out much less. It s just not worth it.

I ordered Ramen on Skip and it showed up mushy with very little soup/ liquid in it. It was hot and tasted ok, but I expected there to be more soup.

Were out of lots of items

Just ordered lunch delivery, spent over $40 and unfortunately the only thing I was able to eat was the veggie tempura. The crabmeat in the rolls had very clearly gone bad. As soon as I opened the box you could smell it. I even tried it just because sometimes a fishy smell doesnt mean its gone bad.. mistake. It was very clearly expired or had been sitting out. The yam tempura rolls I ordered looked like someone had previously eaten it then put it in a roll. Even the miso soup.. not a single piece of tofu or green onion. It was just cold broth. Overall not edible and Im sad I wasted over $40 and all I could eat were 3 pieces of veggie tempura.

Went for lunch and was greeted by friendly server who took my order right away - food and hot tea arrived shortly after. The unagi and salmon were perfect. Next time I will try the Korean items as they look authentic and amazing!!!

This place reminds me of home! The first place I tried sushi over 20 years ago now. I went back the other day and tried the new Korean menu, good bibimbap! It didnt come in a stone bowl but was cooked nicely. It did come with some meat in it even though the menu didnt mention that. The service was friendly. Will hopefully be back again soon.

Amazing sushi

Very happy with the chicken udon soup and Korean style chicken. Prompt preparation and arrived from Door Dash piping hot and packaged well. Tasty!

We tried it for the first time. The lunch bento box deal was really good. We had sushi as well. Food was prices fairly.

Excellent quality food, very cool interior!

Terrible. Don t go here. The restaurant was cold! Had the a/c on I swear! Miso was old and lukewarm. Who likes lukewarm soup. Service stunk. Three tables only and still had to wait for service. In the lunch box, the fruit was sour grapefruit and the vegetable was tough rubbery edamame which was disgusting and couldn t eat. The amount of chicken was four small rubbery pieces and cold. Disgusting

Best sushi in town! I love you

Horrible. Second time my order was wrong. Asked for no sauce and got sauce. Also missing salmon in my roll. Also got a fish scale in one of my rolls. The hank roll was so messy, squished and looked horrible

California roll was not good. They used rice as extenders instead of crab meat or immitation crabmeat. Also, so disappointed with the chicken karaage. We ordered chicken karaage but we got chicken wings instead. The wings were so small like the size of a thumb. so disappointed. We will not order from here again. I should have read the review first before ordering there.

Excellent food and atmosphere

Last week I ordered sunomono salad and the noodles were not nearly cooked and some even still rock hard. Today I bit into flour in my tempura. It was soggy and barely cooked. For the cost of the food u would hope it would be cooked...

Great sizes and delicious! Especially the beef teriyaki rolls they are huge!

One of our favorite local Japanese reasurants. The food is great and always consistent, which is why we continue to go back.

The spicy tuna sashimi was beautifully cut and fresh tasting. Very delicious, they also have Korean fried chicken and a half order is a perfect portion. If you get a chance stop in a support this local restaurant. I believe its family run and they were very kind and prompt service. Will definitely go again.

Absolutely the worst sushi I have ever had!! How can sushi be greasy? Go to Hamada and you will find out!! So disgusting I couldnt even finish it. If you want any service you will have to get up and go find your server because they arent coming to you. Worst food and worst service. I would give a negative point score if it was possible. Yuck!!

Seafood yaki udon tasted of old seafood, especially the chalky and bitter tasting muscles. The sauce was overly heavy and didnt remind me of anything remotely Japanese.

Food was ok I have had better meals here.

we ordered take out and were very disappointed with what we got for what we paid. my sunomono leaked in the bag and I ended up with a lot of the liquid all over my table when we were unpacking our food. The rolls didnt look like they were rolled very tight and most of them fell apart when we picked them up. We ordered the Tuna Takaki and got enough of the sauce for 2 maybe 3 of the pieces. Must say that we wont be ordering from here again. We used to eat here every Friday, but started ordering from somewhere closer to home. The sushi has really gone down hill from the last time we were there.

Wow, I was very impressed with the quality and taste of the food here. Definitely blown away, truly a hidden gem. The sushi was fresh, perfect size and flavourful. We also had the fried chicken which was top notch! Ill be back for for the food alone. They had great oldies music playing and decor here was beautiful wood wall art. Highly recommend trying Hamada!

I recommend getting the fried chicken! Best in maple ridge.

It was perfect area to enjoy chicken and sushi together. I highly recommend. Next time I will try to their brunch meal. Food : 5/5

If you crave sushi, come here! Yeah, this is it, this is sushi

The only restaurant I was introduced to and ate there and was introduced to by my younger brother.

JMT!!!!! I gotta say it was awesome and fabulous. ONE of the best dining experience in my life!!! Thank you for everything

This is a place where you can eat fresh and delicious sushi at a reasonable price.

The spicy tempura roll is really delicious. We ordered new menu Aburi Combo. Its owsom. Highly recommended. They say they make all their sauces themselves. The sauce is truly fantastic. . Food

The worst sushi I have ever eat. Never go or order there.

Its the most delicious food Ive ever had. Its a sushi restaurant, but the chicken is also good. Food

The food and atmosphere was amazing. The only thing I didnt like was at the end when it was time to pay for my bill I wanted to pay with cash but she told me that they didnt have enough change. So I said okay thats fine whatever so she put the amount in the machine and told me that my bill was 47.50 handed me the machine to tap and I tapped my card not thinking much of it. Later looking at My bank statement to turns out that she had tipped herself $5 extra and my bill had jumped to 52 I would have given her a tip like that normally on my own except I had received the wrong food. I had ordered a favorite roll combo a but received a favorite world combo b. I ate it anyways because I didnt want the food to go to waste, but I dont like the fact that she took it upon herself to tip $5 to herself

delicious! ! ! ! !

Hamada sushi food is always reliable. I think sushi rice is important. The hamada sushi restaurant tastes better than other sushi restaurants. So the taste of sushi rice and fresh fish is harmonious. Also, k-chicken is the trend these days. I ordered spicy chicken at the hamada sushi restaurant and it was so delicious. I recently ordered honey garlic from another Korean chicken restaurant. However, there was little sauce in the chicken. But the chicken from the hamada restaurant tasted perfect. I highly recommend it. Make sure you buy it and eat it. All the sauces are delicious.

The Korean Chicken is incredibly fresh, crispy and delicious. 10/10 would recommend.

This chicken is the ultimate drinking snack! Its seriously top-notch. Crispy outside, juicy inside total flavor bomb. Honestly, cant get enough of it. Highly recommend!

Good!!

aburi combo sooo good! i love it especally sauce is fantastic. u should try! Food : 5/5

One of my favourite sushi restaurant!! I had udon and cheese snow chicken, the food quality s so amazing. I highly recommend this place.

We eat here 2-3 times a week because food is great, good price for the food, and very friendly people good service!!!

It was nice place to enjoy sushi with good service. highly recommend. Food : 5/5

Food was Ok. I didnt like that I had to tell the lady adding prawns to a dish that she should wear gloves when handling food. She was answering the phone and bagging orders. No food Safe! Also I didnt like to wait after I was told time to be there for pickup. It wasnt ready.

Its ok .

Its really delicious. The ingredients are fresh and the sauce is delicious. Its very delicious. Chicken teriyaki is delicious.

Very nice place the food is very good and the service is really good I recommend fr

Very tasty food, fast with their deliveries, when I order my food it comes literally in 5 minutes!!

Tasty sushi with great and friendly service.

I dont usually do this at all cause i know the restaurant industry is a busy and sometimes chaotic place, i went to hamada sushi with someone who talked highly of it, said it had amazing food, when we ordered food we ordered an appetizer, and 2 main courses, we got our main courses before our appetizer (it came at the very end) and it was a small dish and yet our main food came first, and our food we ordered wasnt what we asked for, at that point i didnt even want to bring anything up because no one was doing anything right, i asked to get it remade and put in a to go box and it was given in another bowl( no issue there) but then took another 20 minutes to get us a bill and box, was t even hungry anymore i was just beyond frustrated paying 60$ for the worst service ive ever had. Great people, just not on the ball.

Food was good costumer service was amazing would go here again

Fantastic quality with awesome service. The workers there are extremely kind and friendly. They show responsibility and care the utmost for their customers.

Not the greatest, however in Maple Ridge notany sushi places are good. Ordered a dynamite roll and the prawn tempura in the roll was 100% old and not made within the last hour. It was hard and cold, also in the lunch box the special was edamame... Hows that special?

New owners and very sweet and works hard. Food was amazing!

We got the wrong item ,ordered yam roll got crunch yam roll, when I told them we had got the wrong order , they said the new girl got it wrong. I told them 3 plus times it was wrong, they said it was wrong,and then charged me full price for the correct order, the mistake is theirs not mine I should have been offered my money back. Very disappointed

Ordered off door dash and have never tried this place prior to ordering. It was the worst sushi I have ever had, I will not eat from here again.

I ordered from door dash 1 California roll, 1 dynamite roll, 1 spicy salmon roll and the prawn tempura. My son ate before me and immediately vomited (I thought he had put too big a piece in his mouth). I sat down to eat, put a piece of California roll in my mouth and immediately spat it out. It was bad! I called them and they said they had thrown out their bad filling that morning and nobody had complained and I said I was complaining. They said they couldn t reimburse me because I had gone through door dash I did call door dash and got my money back but that is not good customer service. You don t serve someone bad sushi and then say you won t make new food or help in anyway. Never again!!

My new go to spot love the food and staff Parking: Lot parking Food : 5/5 |

I am posting this instead of having the dinner I was looking forward to - the food is just such a poor poor quality, the pics in the menu are beautiful and deceiving. What we have received was and is one of the worst sushi experiences I have had in my life here. This is so very bad, I want to send it back. Awful. I have never written a negative review but this is too upsetting. Update: my husband got sick a few hours after eating the food, he had tuna. Which was so awful looking. I have spoken to the manager Shane today and he asked me to send the photos of the food and to connect with the owner. He was polite, I would say and even kind of understood that my experience was upsetting. I have sent photos. The owner lady called me shortly and said that she checked the food and there was nothing wrong with food. When I told her that my experience was upsetting and that I don t expect anything but I do want to be heard as a customer. She said: our food is not for you then! Your taste is not for our food! She raised her voice and insulted me and hang up on me. This is the owner of a restaurant talking to a customer, you guys!! Imagine that!! Phenomenally rude, disrespectful, aggressive and careless behaviour. This is very upsetting but also kind of ridiculous. No wonder your reviews are slow and will likely continue plummeting.

My family lives Hamada! Fresh ingredients and pleasant enough service.

Our first time trying this restaurant and we loved it. The food was great and special requests were followed. We will be back. Thank you!

This place had really mixed reviews, so I took it upon myself to write the fairest review possible. If Im picking a sushi place, Im not going back here, but I wouldnt say dont go here. Sushi Quality: 2 star The tempura and the goma were delicious, the rolls were okay, and the ikura would have made me sick had I had more than one bite. Generous servings of pink ginger. Efficiency: 5 star we did take out, they repeated the order back to me over the phone, and they had it ready on time Price: 3 star The quality of the sushi was not reflected in the price - I expected the quality to be higher for what we were charged.

The fish weren t fresh - not good at all. Won t go back.

Best sushi place , plus best sushi ever !

The food is really good. Unfortunately they are only open really weird hours on UberEats. Ive been able to order twice but all the other times it says the restaurant is unavailable on UberEats.

Rolls were ok, the quantities for the price was a complete let down. The big reason for the two star rating was the tuna sashimi. It was completely inedible and had a very off but bland taste. We have sushi quite often and this was not acceptable..

We order from here regularly and enjoy the food and the variety of offerings. The food is decent in quality and portion size and staff are friendly and kind. The restaurant is clean and they do accommodate late orders. We were having a craving but they were closing up soon. Staff took our order and stayed a few mins late so we could come pick it up. We really appreciated that! Their gyoza and california roll are always decent without fail.

I cant say its delicious. The rice was soft and sticky. The price is also high Over $20 for two dishes including tip. Impossible I was looking forward to it but its a shame I dont think Ill go there again

Sushi is very good here. The food presentation is excellent and the seafood is fresh. Unfortunately I Ordered with door dash only for the store to suddenly close for no reason.

Ordered $80 worth of sushi. Would be valued at around $30 at most everywhere else. Don t order from here unless you like throwing money out the window.

Very meh. Meh portions, meh price, meh rice. The rice was a bit on the overcooked / too much water added while cooking / soft side, a TAD mushy.

The rice is somehow bland but overly sweet at the same time. Giving 3 stars because gyoza and fish were decent quality. Left all the rolls untouched after one bite :(

Very poor customer service experience. Will not be returning.

Ordered sashimi, salad and soup. All delicious. Great service. Cute atmosphere. I ll eat here again!

Delicious food. My favorite, nigiri. This is my go to sushi restaurant. Try the ebi sunomono, you wont be disappointed!

Lovely restaurant, some items of its menu are very good. must try the soba noodle (buckwheat cold noodle) if you enjoy cold food. Plus sashimi and nigiri are excellent, as good as you can get in Maple Ridge.

A little on the pricey side considering what you are getting. Had to ask them for soy sauce. Smallish portions, cold edamame beans, chicken tasted a little off -- not a great dining experience.

my fish taste smell bad but rest good

It was okay.

Great sushi, good prices, good atmosphere, good service, what else could you ask for.

If you love sushi as much as I do, this is the best place Ive had the pleasure of indulging. The restaurant is well kept for its small size and their menu has a great variety, especially for takeout!

Ordered on Skip, sashimi was very disappointing.. salmon pieces were very small and tuna was not fresh. The gyoza was good and the sushi rolls were ok.

Friendly service and great variety of rolls. The presentation is always beautiful

Need some better ramen out here in Maple Ridge.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. Low quality fish, unprofessional and rude staff, and super overpriced for the quality/taste. Will not be going here again after 2 consicutive bad experiences.

Friendly #customerservice and convenient prices. Their location is a real gem. I highly recommend this place for a nice and quick visit

Always excellent food and great service.

Been going here 8 years and always love it. My daughter and I are always received in a professional and welcoming manner, servers are always sweet. Food is always great (I dont eat fish so I cant speak to that but all other meals are always hot and fresh ((when its a cooked menu item)) we also love the occasional deep fried ice cream and the mango rolls are a nice indulgence too! We love their variety of fancy rolls and unique combinations. The last couple times I feel its been a bit slower for service but I attribute that to increased skip the dishes orders (so many Skip Drivers come and go) I have a very sensitive stomach and it is easily upset (to terrible consequence) and that has never happened here so I love it all the more.

love the short and old but skilled waitress

Skillful owner offers a clean and good looking Asian Cuisine such as Sushi and lots of Kitchen menu.

Food is okay, a bit bland, and unfortunately no requests are followed so you get what you get. Also looking through other reviews and Im quite surprised at some of the snappy responses from the owners. Feedback is an important tool to improve, and ultimately makes you better :) no need to be sassy back, take that energy and make your business better! Id be happy to try you again, just a bit concerned that my allergies/requests might not be followed.

Ive been ordering take out from Hamada for a few months and love it! Yet to sit down and experience the dine-in experience but definitely recommend this place.

The place burnt down so it wasnt very good . So yes going to have to find a new sushi bar to go to

not good food.

the yakisoba and the actual dishes were really good, lots of sauce which is nice since a lot of places skimp out, however the rolls just arent good, even the avocado roll which should be easy was only just edible :( Ill probably order again only for the yakisoba and udon

it was disgusting, looks like a dead fish laying on the beach...

Wish I could do less than a star to be honest. Called an order in over the phone for a combo but asked if I could get the california roll deep fried and pay the difference (I have done this at least 10 times before). She said yes, but when I go to pick up my order the total is $7 more than what I knew it was going to be. She then goes to tell me that they have never done any adjustments to the combos and that I must be confused. They have always been rude on the phone but the food was still okay plus really close for work. But following this will never be ordering from them again.

Yumm yumm, in our wonderful Maple Ridge. Order Salmon nigiri! !

Good sushi. Gigi, the main waitress, is awesome.

Just went there with the girlfriend......worst experience Ive ever had at any restaurant. We where the only ones in the restuarant and waited a half hour for our food then when we got it the crab meat tasted pre frozen, the rice was dry, they didnt even bother to ask if we wanted fish eggs or not and didnt even ask if we wanted anything to drink or if everything tasted ok, which it didnt, it was terrible. At the end of everything when I said I would pay for a portion of it, they demanded I paid the whole bill. 45$ down the drain thanks guys have fun with my money I worked hard for that you clearly didnt.

Shrimp was bad, rolls were bland, and everything tasted rubbery.

Slow service, long wait even though only few customers.

I am currently writing this review while taking short breaks to go throw up in the toilet. Hamada used to be very good, but now they deserve to be well out of business. I bought a total of 6 costing about 50$. Id say the best part about my whole experience was the part played by skip the dishes, the rest brought me into an intense fit of rage and puke. The rolls were COMPLETELY RANCID. When I called the restaurant after only having 3 pieces I was already feeling sick and nauseated. I almost laughed when I found out that the person claiming to be the manager on the phone, was actually a waitress, and promptly handed me off to the chef who was utterly in denial about the fact that his sushi tasted like it had been released from a fish eating dogs rectum. He even went so far as to say it might be Skip the Dishes fault and perhaps i should call them (who delivered in under 20 minutes). Last time I checked, they dont make the fish. I offered to bring them back the rolls so they could check for themselves and both the chef and the manager lamely declined. They would not refund me. The manager, GiGis, words were because we have not received any other complaints about our sushi today, we unfortunately cannot do anything about it. Sorry. Maybe you want to call Fraser Health. Well, guess what. HELLO, FRASER HEALTH! Ive been puking in the porcelain throne all night, and I wonder if it has anything to do with the repulsive rolls chocked full of expired pollock Ive been eating. I think theyll agree. TLDR; Ate rancid sushi from the excuse of a restaurant, the management denied it was their fault and refused to give me a refund. The sushi is now in the sewers, where it deserves to be. Calling Fraser health tomorrow. Update: my husband is now sick as well and sushi is coming out of both ends. -42 out of 5 stars.

I just came back from having diharrea for the last hour. This place disgusted me. My wife called to tell them about the poor quality of their sushi and the manager gave her an extremely hard time. Please do not eat at this bad establishment, their sushi is horrific and now were out 53$. No refund. Rotten fish and hard rubbery rice, Poor customer service. Negative infinity out of 5. I am the husband of the reviewer below.

Excellent food, but quite expensive. Portion size was fair, and I would recommend this place for special occasions or treats rather than as a regular eatery.

Good food at reasonable prices. What more could you ask?

It s ok but they have changed

Very good sushi

Not the best, but good for a quick meal. Sashimi is not bad.

Lovely staff, great food, great prices and a nice atmosphere

We have been loyal customers to Hamada for around 6 years, never go anywhere else for sushi. We always leave a great tip and clean up everything after ourselves so the server can have an easier clean up. The place has gone so downhill regarding customer service. We used to be served by Gigi all the time and she was fabulous. Then a young man who was also great. Now it is a short, older woman who never smiles, takes forever to take our order, brings waters well after bringing menus (or when we eventually ask for them) and just makes us feel like she does not want us to be there at all. Me and my husband last went on Saturday June 22nd around 1pm with our 2 children. The short, older server didnt greet us with a smile or hello, as usual. We asked to sit in the booth we always sit in, right at the front of the restaurant and the server nodded her head. No words were spoken. We sat down and she gave us our menus and left. No waters. As usual. Another party of 4 came in 12 minutes later and we saw the server go into the back to fill up glasses of water. We assumed they were coming to us. She then took them to the party that had just arrived. So we stood up to leave. My husband said we are leaving because you left us for over 10 minutes with no service and didnt even bring us waters the server stared at my husband and said well you are sat on the wrong side she then continued to argue with my husband, infront of other customers until we left. The booth side was not blocked off and we were not told we couldnt sit there. We were so shocked and appalled that instead of an apology she decided to blame us (the paying and loyal customers). We will NEVER be back to Hamada and will be telling everyone and anyone we know about our TERRIBLE experience. Do NOT waste your money at this establishment!

Food was very good and proceed in line with other restaurants in the area. Would have given five stars except that most of their chairs are very uncomfortable. Had to try for different types of chair before finding one that I could use for any length of time. Will get take out from here in the future, though. The smokey salmon roll was sooooo good! Loved them when I wrote that review. However, just ordered through Skip the Dishes, and I was very disappointed in what we received. The rice had that made-well-ahead texture, nothing seemed fresh and bright the way sushi should be, the smokey salmon roll tasted somehow off -- whole thing was just a let down. Wont be ordering again. :(

Aint nothin wrong wit dis sushi. Go, eat sushi, leave, enjoy life.

Great place!

The food was very mediocre. My wife had the chicken ramen, which was instant noodles with an egg and a bit of boiled chicken thrown in. There was no flavour to anything. I had the dinner box, which was equally disappointing. It was a pile of beans, a few pieces of okay tempura, a poorly done teriyaki dish, and some boiled greens in a peanut sauce. Once again, mediocre execution on every dish. There are much better Japanese places around to go to.

We dine in this local restaurant often for their good food, friendly service and ambiance. Although I almost always order their Scallop Oshi sushi specialty (because it is so delicious!), my husband will alternate between their Teriyaki Chicken, their Pork Cutlet dinner, their Sushi Combo, or their Oyako Don, etc... and have never been disappointed with any of his choices. Each time we dine, we sit in one of their booths that is surrounded by an eclectic, modern Japanese deco. We get to unwind at this quaint, little restaurant while sipping green tea/miso soup/wine or beer (sometimes all of the above!) and listen to Soft Rock while the cooks prepare our meals. Sue (the manager/head server), will always stop by to chat with us even if another server is looking after us. We hope that this Japanese restaurant will continue to offer their food services to our community for a long time.

Average

A staple in this community

The chairs so uncomfortable that I almost left. The food and service were both great. Edit: got a meal delivered and it wasnt good at all. The rice had that next day texture. It was clearly not freshly made.

Good portion with the price is in Maple Ridge. The Complete Dinner For Two or Complete Dimner For Three is vey good. Clean floor, nice and friendly employees. Public washrooms are available and very clean as well. Serve speed is slow. Foods tasted ok, sometimes not fresh. Credit cards accepted. Free parking lot in the front. Closed to Walmart and Haney Place Mall.

Small portions, expensive and poor service. We waited 10min for menus and 40min for our orders. Portions were small and poorly put together. Our waitress spent the majority of the time on her phone so we couldnt wave her down without walking across the restaurant. When she finally responded she looked annoyed that we were disturbing her. I cant think of a worse sushi experience.

Very rude service... Never go again

Just order sushi there today for my wife.asked them 2 times to make sure no wasabi on her rolls, get home and covered with wasabi called back and could hear them yelling in background and girl came back on phone and said they would not replace meal,please do not support this business

good Sushi...

One of our favorite Sushi places in the Ridge.

Great sushi restaurant! Been going for years the manager is super sweet and very personable which I love she knows my order and is on the ball! Will always be my go to sushi restaurant!

Not too busy, great atmosphere.

Normally we never had issues with service and the food. This last time the service was okay but had to keep asking for drinks. The food however, this last time, was not worth the money. The tuna shashimi looked and tasted like it was freezer burnt and other ingredients looked past its prime.

Excellent service great food good prices

Place used to be good, went in this sat and place was not busy, food took forever, They were more interested in answering the phone then helping us.

Excellent food.

I first learned to love use at this restaurant when I was 10 years old. Never disappoints, amazing staff, great food

Nice lunch in Maple Ridge

Ive been a regular customer here for almost 10 years. My Dad was a regular himself until he died. I called tonight, asked if I could place an order for delivery. The girl yelled we dont have a delivery driver tonight and hung up. Too bad- if she hadnt, we would have just picked up instead. You just lost yourself a customer. Edit:Just received a call from Hamada apologizing for earlier. It seems they do value their customer relationships after all

Great

Wowwww Awesome

Great food always

Very nice place! Awesome!!!

Nice food good service

Food is not fresh

Really great food and good service highly recommend this place to everyone in Maple Ridge.

Shorter old waitress was rude and VERY unprofessional. Perhaps I misspoke in a previous review so allow me to clarify. NOVEMEBER 24 2018 an order containing a Snow Cali roll ($78.50 in total for my group) was pathetically assembled. On a previous date, I ordered the tuna nigiri and the meat was disgusting and gritty. The owners should be ashamed for the sad excuse of a restaurant that they call the Hamada. I have been a long time customer (est. 2006), so I am sadly aware of the decline of this restaurant. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. I am so very upset with not only the quality of the food I received, but the response I got from the the owners to a previous comment. They said I must be confused with another restaurant, perhaps YOU are the confused ones, as your the ones serving garbage in a restaurant. Give your head a shake. Sincerely, LONG TIME EX CUSTOMER

Good food

Generally very good and fair price. Friendly service too

I used to absolutely love this place. Unfortunately the restaurant recently decided to raise its prices by an absurd amount. I would avoid this Sushi restaurant, and take your appetite somewhere else.

Nice and tasty.....thanks

I think the ownership changed since I was last here. The food AND service quality were considerably lower on this visit. I didnt recognize any of the staff. Service was very slow even though the restaurant was mostly empty. The food used to be really really good. This time was below average. I doubt Ill go back. Its too bad because this place used to be so good.

I have been to many sushi restaurants in my time but. I have to say that this place is one of the best. The food tastes great, was fresh, and quick. The desert was amazing and so was the service! Definitely going back.

Prices have gone up like everywhere else by about 10 per cent in the last few months but the quality is still very good. If you havent tried their Tuna Karage you are missing something that is offered nowhere else. the sauce is like the tears of Angels and this dish by itself makes us return customers. pleasant staff but a little overwhelmed near the dinner time rush.

Great food and attentive service! Very fresh, tasty sashimi, the rolls are awesome and its all really affordable! Love Hamada!

This place used to be good. The quality of food gone down and the price gone up.

Good sushi, expensive when compared to Vancouver sushi restaurants.
