Hama Sushi

Dishonest. I am a local artist in Portland, and I hung my art in Hama Sushi 10 months ago. The agreement was they would take 30% of the proceeds of any art sold. I sold several pieces, and Hama Sushi has yet to pay me for my art. I have tried contacting the girl who recruited me to hang art there (Guia) - she does not respond. I have left multiple messages for the manager (Shawn) - he will not respond. I have called the shop and stopped by, but no one there can help me and directs me back to the manager who will not return my calls. Keep in mind that this has been going on for TEN months. I am very disappointed by the dishonesty and lack of integrity demonstrated by this business. If you are a local business owner or artist, I highly discourage you from doing any kind of business with Hama Sushi.  View Less … View More

Good, but why have a closing time?. I really want to go here more but they close different times than their stated hours. Really annoying when you tell friends to go with you or you hurry to get there, just to be told they're "almost closed. Sorry."  View Less … View More

Not what it used to be. This used to be the best place in PDX to get authentic, Edomae sushi, especially at the counter. Now they have changed the ownership and no one even speaks Japanese! Not surprisingly, the quality of sushi is horrible. Rice is hard, they push it way too hard to form them, the freshness of fish is mediocre, no respect to seasonality of fish. If you are a fan of big rolls, you may still be able to get your chow here, but I'm just too jaded and knowledgeable about real sushi that this place left a bad aftertaste for weeks. Sad to see that old Hama died. It was the only place in town where you can get great quality sushi a la Hiroshi, Masu, or Murata, at a decent price.  View Less … View More

Never know what you are going to get. I have been to Hama Sushi 3 times and will not go back. The first time I went was great, the sushi was fresh and flavorful. After that, both my remaining experiences were not good. Service and Sushi were terrible, especially the final time I went. The sushi was so bad, tasted old and smelled, that we actually did not eat two of the rolls. The waitress was slow and never smiled. We waisted 40 bucks and 1 and 1/2 hours on bad sushi.  View Less … View More
