Hamachi Group of Restaurants Reviews

sushi, yeah, quality stuff. Don't worry if it's busy, it is worth the wait. The service was friendly and sociable. Not close to my job, I wish it was.

After Ippudo it was hard to find a place that served good ramen. This restaurant however is equally good if not better. Additionally, the servers are super nice!
I always get the tonkotsu with a side of their spicy paste (it s their secret weapon).
On other occasions, we have tried their sushi (they have a huge menu) and gyoza which are both very good.

Excellent food, excellent service, there s literally nothing wrong with this place!

Did lunch here the other day. Staff was nice, and food was good. The chef had some training in making sushi, so that was a nice surprise. The entrees however are hit or miss.

Tasty food and friendly service! I got the veggie yakisoba, and I wasn't disappointed :)

I have had the owner in my barber chair at savant Studio and he is a great guy. So with that along with his reputation I could not wait for a evening with my lady in his restaurant. And it did not disappoint. Quality,atmosphere,cleanliness,affordability, and above all else a delicious unique take on dining!!!
So very grateful for the food

Good site for delicious sushi. Looking forward to returning with my friends. Prices are reasonable.

Ordered the chicken teriyaki meal (I know, I know I should've ordered sushi, but still) it was suuuper tough and just really overcooked and awful. I politely asked the server, who barely spoke English, if I could get a replacement and explained that it was so overcooked I could barely chew it, not exaggerating at all unfortunately. She said she'd ask the chef to remake it. Great.

She brought out another plate a few minutes later. The chicken was ICE COLD. No joke. My husband tried both as well and was equally as confused. I mean, if a chef can't even cook a basic grilled chicken, I wouldn't trust them to cook me anything ever again. However if the chef did this to spite me, then touche, but that's still very poor service. Luckily, after much unnecessary negotiation on my part, the server agreed not to charge me for my meal.

My husband had a few sushi rolls, which he had more success with, but he still said it was just mediocre. Haven't and won't go back here ever again. If you want good but affordable sushi, go to Yi instead.

Love this restaurant!
I've enjoyed both my tonkutsu ramen and chicken karaage. It's super tasty and price worthy.

You will never regret coming here. So fresh. Waitstaff is amazing.

Came in while they were understaffed at the time, but I was seen to properly in a timely manner. Food was very satisfying.

The poke here has a lot of sauce on it. I prefer a dryer poke. It was also spicy. It was difficult to taste the fish. But over all a strong 4 , the other dishes were spot on.

Probably my favorite Japanese restaurant in salt lake. Having lived in Japan for a period of time I am quite critical of the Japanese food that I have. Yet this place surpassed my expectations. I ordered their nigiri plate, the scallop sashimi, and the tonkatsu ramen. I judge most sushi places based on how fishy the sushi tastes which says a lot about the location from where they obtain their fish and/or how they prepare it.
The raw scallops are usually a good indication of whether or not a restaurant prepares their sushi well and they practically melted faster than butter in my mouth. It. was. fantastic. The salmon, tuna, everything tasted spectacularly amazing. The ramen was the closest Japanese style ramen that I have had in SLC and was very well seasoned and flavored, but unfortunately lacked some of the principle ingredients commonly served with ramen. Despite this, I still give it a 5-star review due to the extremely nice customer service, the great presentation, and the chill, yet upscale vibe. Would love to see some more unique rolls/plates on the menu though. Something with the chef's spin on it.

sushi and the atmosphere at this place is great. Cool location to meet with coworkers. Service is typically good. Reminds me of a restaurant in Philadelphia that I enjoyed.

This restaurant has amazing sushi. It is reasonably priced, and has a great atmosphere. It's the only place in Lalt Lake City that I will go for amazing sushi. It's centrally located and easy to find. And, the restaurant is always very clean, including the restrooms.

Very well organised and convenient spot. They serve large meals and for fair prices. We liked the food a lot and the staff members were super affable and chatty. Recommended.

This place is amazing. The sushi tastes so fresh. I've been to a lot sushi places in utah. And this place is by far the best it like it coming tight out of the ocean. The salmon melts in your mouth!! I highly recommend this place.

Poke bowl, volcano and Vegas roll was tasty! We placed a large order for pick-up and they had it ready in 20 min. The food was fresh and filling!

The food was great and so was the service. They have a lot of original sushi recipes that I haven't seen in other restaurants. I will definitely be going back to try more.

Sushi and service here is excellent. I like it here, great food & service. Next time I'll be back with my friends.

My fav spot for delicious sushi. This place is absolutely one of my favorites. The staff was very helpful and observant. This place has a nice feel to it.

Best ramen and sushi I ve had in ages, very affordable for the quality and amount they provide. Fast and attentive service and so tasty

The food is quite decent, service is all right, has its own parking.
Sushi was decent too ... some rolls were yummy ~
In the end, we were left out with "It's okay" feeling.

Excellent ramen. Especially the pork is very very good. Trust me, try it out. For the base I would go for the tonkotsu or miso, the shoyu was a bit tasteless. Also sushi is well made, recommended warmly overall.

Just incredible. Jesus told me this place was the place to go. I went and it was celestial. I got the veggie tempura roll and my abscessed tooth didn t complain. Highly recommended, come as soon as possible. Also the bathroom smells like my favorite vape shop

Amazing experience! I've been searching for my go to sushi spot in salt lake and I just found it! Food was fantastic, I got a couple rolls and a bento box. The steak teriyaki was excellent quality even better than I'd expect from a lunch special. Rolls all were fresh and so tasty. The restaurant is also very clean and following covid guidelines.

Great food and great prices. Service is quick and the staff is great. We've eaten here several times and love it.

The service was great and the food was even better. Love this place. I will definitely be going back.

A top place for delicious Sushi. Nice place to think about business. The staff was very welcoming and observant. The bill was fair for the quality of food. Mood here reminds me of San Diego's scene.

We were going to go to Takashi, but the wait was over an hour, so we ended up here! Best choice! The sushi was delicious, the service was great. We sat at the bar highly recommended! The sushi chefs are delightful and funny. Overall, 10/10.

Delicious! We had the crispy rice tuna, miso, spicy edamame and volcano roll and they were all fantastic!

It's a really sushi bar. I ate roll sushi and fried tofu, the taste was very good. This is one of the best sushi bar in town.

Dinner her was really good. Service was a little slow for as dead as they were. Food came out very quickly, but the drink refills and check took a while. The fish is really fresh with no fishy taste. The rolls are very unique and they have their own twist on some classic rolls that are really good. The poke bowl was really good and had a great variety of fish as well as amazing flavor. If you are looking for a new place to try, Hamachi is definitely worth a stop!

Fresh fish and the entrees were good as well. Service was OK but not great. Would go back just for another Playboy roll

I love sushi and nigiri, but this was less than a 1 star rating. I cannot speak about customer service bc my order was for take out. When I opened my order, the nigiri has fish scales all over it, and had the most foul fish smell. I ve eaten enough fish to know what fresh fish smells like. Unfortunately I came here one time and will never go back again :/

Food was horrible. I have worked at sushi restaurants and know good sushi. We were looking forward to a delicious dinner. VERY disappointing. Worse, the owner was rude and incredibly dismissive. There are plenty of great sushi places in SLC, go to one of them and skip Hamachi

Good spot for tasty Sushi. Nice location to meet with family. The service was friendly and sociable. Prices are appropriate for the quality. Food is like a place in Baltimore I liked.

I'm Japanese (born and raised), so I know Japanese food. It's extremely rare for me to approve of Japanese restaurants in US. The Japan town in SF is one of the few places I've known that make authentic Japanese food. Now, I don't have unrealistic expectations to enjoy authentic Japanese food in Utah. But, many of my friends want to go to a Japanese restaurant once they know I'm from Japan, which is usually a torture for me because I can't enjoy Japanese food around here as they often cannot satisfy my Japanese palate. As such, I had a low expectation when my friend wanted to try this restaurant. To my surprise, they served authentic Japanese food. Food was made right. They cooked rice right. Their menu had a few minor items that you don't see in wannabe Japanese restaurants. I'm actually curious to know how it is that they know how to make true Japanese food. I went to their website, but I couldn't find much info there. I've been to this restaurant a few times, and the only mistake I spotted was that they misspelled one of the ramen noodles. They spelled the pork flavor as "Tonkatsu ramen." The correct name is "Tonkotsu ramen." I let the waitress know about it. Not sure if they've fixed it, but I hope they did. Good job, Hamachi. I approve that you know how to make authentic Japanese food.

I am skiing the east and this is my first visit to slc. After the first night eat here at Hamachi the second night when discussed where to eat, we all agreed to come here again. We normally would not eat same thing twice during a trip but Hamachi break our rule. Fresh, well flavored and good service, I was so surprised to find such a good shushi place in a city so far away from any major Asian hub.

The food was great and so was the service. They have a lot of original sushi recipes that I haven't seen in other restaurants. I will definitely be going back to try more.

To days special looks great frist time in here all be coming back

Awesome sushi, awesome services, great ambiance. We will be going back.

Ok place for delicious Sushi. Really nothing but good experiences here. Bring your hunger - portions are generous.

Excellent quality and Service. You will love to go here again. Menu option is great. Sushi looked and taste fresh. Overall it was a great experience to dine at this restaurant. It may look small but don't judge a restaurant by it's size.

Sushi at this place - very tasty. Definitely worth a return visit. The bill was fair for the quality of the food.

Sushi is really good here.

With the pandemic I order to go often. I ve put in the notes in my to go order please separate the cold food and hot foods into different/ separate/
multiple bags. This is the only restaurant that does not follow my instructions & I ve had to throw my sushi away- twice- because the miso soup is placed ON TOP of the sushi box and it cooks and gets ruined. I will not be eating here anymore.

Be careful overcharging!!!
I have no problem with food. However, they overcharge me on the food prices and tips. I called them to void the difference, but they said I have to come at the restaurant to do this. I do not get it why I have to waste my time and gas because of their mistake. Anyhow, enjoy your meal here and check your bill from them when they charge you!

I've been here several times. Service is always very good and the sushi rolls are AMAZING. The best I've ever had. Will definitely go again.

Jake is the man! Killer fresh fish.. toro off bigeye from hawaii. He made a special roll that had sesame leaf inside- such a delightful surprise. Chirashi is very simple, but that is their style. Excellent service. Wife's Yakisoba w/ chicken was excellent, as well as miso soup. Will be back.

Sushi, yeah, delicious. dropped in on mon i think. service is consistently great. prices were fair. atmosphere is like a restaurant in fort worth i loved.

Rapid good quality, very savory, roasted meat flavor to the tonkatsu broth

Very well organised and convenient spot. They serve large meals and for fair prices. We liked the food a lot and the staff members were super affable and chatty. Recommended.

sushi... so tasty. the prices are good for what you get.

My top place for sushi. looking forward to going back again. menu is like a place in san francisco i loved.

Ordered poke bowl for take out. Its okay taste. I probably won t order again. But the inside looked nice and clean! And it was fast service.

sushi, delicious. The prices are fair for the quality of food. Menu is like a cafe in Indianapolis I liked.

sushi, yummy. do yourself a favor and give this place a try. the service here is attentive. the bill was appropriate for the quality. feeling here is similar to a place in columbus i liked.

The tempura apatitezer is good. (Like most places, tho on the more expensive side 8 dollars)
Had the tonkatsu ramen. The broth and seasoning was good, pork in it was great! But the noodles were basically spaghetti noodles.

My date had the pokey bowl and it came out 20 mins after mine.

Service was friendly.

Will update if I try the sushi which I suspect is quite good.

This place is great. Friendly staff and excellent quality food. I always enjoy sitting at the sushi bar.

The sushi is solid and very well priced. It's difficult to differentiate yourself when it comes to sushi but several of the rolls were unique and different from anything I've tried. The poke bowl was also delicious!

Ramen is quite delectable here. The sushi is out of this world. 10/10 would eat here again. Sadly I would have to wait a few weeks after this pandemic dies down.

So nice to have a "nice but neighborhood" sushi place closer to my house in the Avenues. Great quality. Cool interior and even a nice patio. Love it.

Such delicious sushi for a amazing price! Definitely will be coming back. Soko was our server and she was super helpful and gave exceptional service!

This place is incredible!!! The food and service were impeccable. We have been there twice and tried several things on the menu and we were impressed both times.

Sushi and the scene here is quality. I wanted to post a food pic but it looked so good I couldn't stop. Bring your appetite because portions are generous.

We're so happy to have found this place. I've passed by it for a few months now but I only got a chance to eat here today. We ordered yellowtail nigiri, miso soups, mr. Miyagi roll, negi Hama roll, seaweed salad, sunomono, red snapper sashimi, green tea and a small can of sake. Everything was well made, the raw fish was fresh and tasty, the miso soup was was very good (I could taste it was made with dashi) and the gyoza was delicious and crunchy.

We arrived on a Saturday afternoon after 2 pm and the inside was full so they sat us outside. It was a bit chilly but nice to be outside when it's not too hot. I was surprised to see the sashimi came with real wasabi, not the powdered kind that makes the light green paste we all see at sushi restaurants.

Service was attentive. They offered refills for the miso soup and green tea. They checked in on us multiple times, but it wasn't intrusive.

This was one of the best sushi places I ve been to! Such sweet staff, amazing food and wonderful service. If I was able to give more stars I absolutely would!

It wasn't my cup of tee and it was pricey. I had the chicken teriyaki meal and it was 14 bucks. I get a better teriyaki plate elsewhere for cheaper and more feeling

The service and food here is amazing! It's not very expensive either. We got two drinks, a Maki roll, and two entrees for under $40. The waitress was attentive and very kind, the food was brought to our table very quickly, and it was amazing. Probably the best meal I've had in a couple years. We'll definitely be coming back a lot.

Went here for lunch. The ramen was so flavourful and filling. The sushi rolls were excellent. Everything was great. I will be back for sure.

this has been my favorite sushi place for 3 years now! the gyoza is literally to die for, the staff is so kind and helpful, and the sushi is delicious!

last night was the first time we went to this restaurant. But It is obviously not the last. We passed a splendid evening with the attentive service, with the superb dishes and wine and with the decent charge. We will absolutely come back again.

It was easy to place a to-go order at the front desk. All the rolls were beautifully made and tasty.

Everyone loved their food we and the service was top notch

Delicious rolls, great quality, clean quiet atmosphere and good service!
Couldn't ask for more!

MSG in their ramen. I am very sensitive to MSG and get palpitations and rapid heart rate from it. I order from here pretty often and the food is great, including the ramen. Today I decided to get the tonkotsu ramen along with a few other things I always get which never caused anything before. Maybe they put a little too much, I don t know. Restaurant owners: if you are reading this, please be extremely mindful of how much MSG you put in your food, I assure you it would still be great if there wasn t any. The side effects are extremely unpleasant to some and sensitive people don t usually expect there to be any in Japanese food.

My visiting sister summed it up best, "My biggest take away from visiting SLC is not to trust 4.5 star restaurant reviews." We ordered the Mr. Miyagi, avenue, crispy tuna taretare, jazz, garden, and lollipop rolls. Apart from the jazz roll, I thought the other rolls' flavors were either overpowered by fatty sauces or just weird. I've had slightly better quality ingrediants from other local SLC sushi restaurants. If you're used to a higher quality of food from other cities, Hamachi feels overpriced and underwhelming.

This is a nice little quaint spot with great customer service.

This place gives one of the most authentic food with amazing taste and quality but reasonable prices for students. One of the thing that blew me away was how clean this place is. All tables and seats are cleaned with bleach every time they are used, and so are the menus. I would be more than willing to drive 40' just to enjoy my time here. 5 stars!

My fav ramen in town. Tonkotsu ramen! The sushi is not that great. I rather Takashi for sushi. I like this place

I'm Japanese (born and raised), so I know Japanese food. It's extremely rare for me to approve of Japanese restaurants in US. The Japan town in SF is one of the few places I've known that make authentic Japanese food. Now, I don't have unrealistic expectations to enjoy authentic Japanese food in Utah.

love the ramen! Great atmosphere. People seem to dress up for this place. However, I stumbled on this place last minute and was not prepared. I wasn't dressed up, but was treated with kindness and everyone enjoyed their meal.

Had an assortment of delicious items. I'm from SF, and this is on par to stuff from back home.

Amazing quality, friendly service. Highly recommend the Mister Miyagi and the Lolipops.

Some of, if not the best sushi I've had in Utah. Tried the executive (a must), the volcano, and the Vegas and all three rolls were fantastic!

We love this restaurant!! Consistently good.
(And still good in 2021!!)

My top place for tasty sushi. Stopped in on a Monday I think. The service was friendly and sociable. The place has a nice feel to it.
