Established in 1979, Hama Sushi can be traced back in time to being one of the first sushi restaurants on the Westside! Known for its classic ambience and casual settings, Hama brings the freshest and friendliest Japanese cuisine with unique fusion dishes. Located on the circle of Windward and Main Streets, a block from the famous Venice Boardwalk, Hama has been a part of Venice Beach’s history for the past 47 years.
This unassuming Japanese joint with a patio has been a destination for rolls & sashimi since 1979.

The best neighborhood sushi restaurant
I absolutely love Hama, and it’s made my top 5 list of recommendations for a few reasons.
A) The rolls are unique, and always fresh. You’re not going to have a bad bite here.
B) lots of ambiance and dining options. Dining solo, come. Date night, come. Large group, come. Hama has space and they use all of it very well. Just don’t be surprised if on a nice day you’re packed table to table on the side walk. Share a bottle of sake and have a few beers, this is the kind of place you can settle in and enjoy your time.
C) Esther, the owner, is the star. Personally greeting each guest, while keeping a watchful eye on the whole ship. She’s the heart beat. She is the conductor of good times, delicious Japanese bites, and a sanctuary so sacred you might even catch the rich and famous enjoying their time.
Highly recommend to anyone, for any occasion. This is a great LA restaurant!

Received the most amazing service and fresh sushi here. Reservations are highly recommended for the weekend because they were packed when we arrived and were seated. Really convenient location, easily walkable from Abbot Kinney Boulevard / Venice Beach. The owner stopped by our table to speak with us for a moment and was so sweet!

I made a reservation for 5:30 pm last Saturday. Although the restaurant was still empty, the hostess gave us the worst table in the restaurant. I nicely asked her to get me a better table, but she denied me the opportunity to sit at the other available tables (for two) that were in the Main room.
Because of her lack of goodwill, I decided to tell her to get me the table in the Sushi room, because my reservation was for there. She didn’t believe, so I had to show her the screenshot from my cellphone to prove it.
I go to this restaurant since 2004 when I first lived in Venice. I know the owner Esther since then. The 3 stars I am giving are not for the food or for the way this wonderful lady runs her business, but I find important that she’s aware of how some employees can suddenly turn her business into a bad experience, like the one I had that night.

I hate to write the truth because the management and vibe is great. But the fish is no longer great. Been going here for what feels like my entire life and the flavor/quality of the sushi last night was bad. The presentation was actually terrible. I dont know if they are skimping on the fish or the chefs but it’s an obvious change.

I hadn’t been to Hama Sushi for several years. It was just as I remember it and better. I met Esther, the owner, a lovely woman. The cooked mussel starter dish is delicious and the sushi sampler plate was just what I wanted.

Had my 29th birthday here. Great experience.
Met a few party animals and ate way too much food off the happy hour menu.
This is a surprisingly chill bar, with big televisions and a community atmosphere.
Highly recommend getting the house sake. They serve it out of a bamboo thing that is just awesome.

Not fully Japanese kinda sushi spot, but been around for several decades. Solid. Sushi was good. Fresh, tasty. Hand rolled spicy tuna was just average. Best one in town is at Matsuhisha. Tempura was ok, best part is th fresh wasabi. Super tasty.

Hama is an unpretentious Japanese restaurant located down Venice in Los Angeles. The sushi is not the best ever I eaten but it’s good, technically correct made, plus (big plus) they serve ice cold Sapporo! I would argue that Hama is the perfect spot when you like a casual, uncomplicated yet tasty bite with friends & colleagues. I mean, what more do you need sometimes?

Only good thing here were the ladies preparing the rolls, they were very nice and great service.
Other than that, rolls are small and expensivee. I ended up leaving and buying a slide of pizza.

Love how there are two sections to this place, a bright indoor patio area to the right. A classic, dim-lit sushi bar to the left. Truly feels like Japan meets Venice Beach and the best of both worlds can be found here.
Decently priced considering the location. Sushi rolls range from $8-$25 depending on the fish choice. An avocado roll is like $6. I got a sashimi salad, which came loaded with fresh fish. Light and filling, cost $25 after tip and tax.
They have gluten free soy sauce and you can substitute upon request. My friend has a sesame allergy and another friend was gluten sensitive. They subbed the tempura for an extra piece of sashimi in the bento box, which was very kind.
The owner actually came by to ask how we were and to thank us for our visit.
