Hamano Sushi

The sushi was very good. The assorted sushi pieces were a generous size and very fresh tasting. The rolls were also tasty; the rice was seasoned well. The California roll, Dragon roll, Sunset roll and Spider roll were all top notch. I didn't care too much for the ceviche, however.The gyoza and Kara-age were pretty good. Both were not covered in a thick batter, which I really appreciated. I didn't try it, but the tempura my mom had looked pretty good as well. She seemed to enjoy all of it. Our 2 servers were very attentive, refilling our waters and checking in on us periodically. The place is pretty small, so it doesn't seem good for large groups. The interior was clean and well kept. I did not get a chance to see how the bathrooms looked. All in all, this is a solid place for fresh sushi. My only ding would be that their POS machine appears to calculate the 18/20/22% preset tip selections to include the tax as part the tip calculation. That bugs me enough that I'll likely not be back. They need to fix that.

Great customer service. Average sushi. Had the rainbow and dragon roll to go for ~$40. Appropriate pricing for sushi, especially in Noe Valley. Date night ambiance. Street parking. Thanks!

Casual neighborhood sushi place. Lots of families with kids come in the early hours. Friendly staff. We love - miso soup, tamago egg, karaage chicken, salmon sunset roll, eel dragon roll. Fresh food, friendly ambience.

Amazing fresh, high quality sushi and variety of fish that you don't see elsewhere. Eating at the sushi bar and watching the chefs was a treat! Great sake selection, fun ambiance and service.

The food was good, I would recommend getting the rolls here! We also got assorted sashimi and udon. They were also p good (udon broth had a nice smoky flavor), but the Mission roll stood out. The nigiri we got (black seaperch) was disappointing.Some drawbacks are the price (too much for the sashimi and nigiri). The service was also very very slow.

Good food and very good service. We came here on a whim and we got seated outside and it was quite warm despite being outside. Cute little place to get Japanese food!

Although I live in the Outer Richmond, I am always happy to take two buses to have dinner at Hamano. The nigri sushi, especially the 8 or 9 on the daily special list, is absolutely top notch. So fresh, with a texture like butter. It's a little hard to pull yourself away and order anything else but there is much more good stuff on the menu. Many of the rolls are unique to Hamano. This time we loved the Dolores and the Sunset both full of interesting vegetable and fish combinations with a visual wow factor thrown in. The tofu appetizer is as silky, and as good as the fish. Luckily, the meal is light so there is always room for some Japanese cheesecake, not too sweet with an amazing texture.All this served in a friendly unpretentious atmosphere with knowledgable and friendly waitstaff. If you love sushi but don't want to hit the fancy omakase places, try Hamano for some of the best sushi in San Francisco.

Nope. Do NOT order take out. I've eaten there in person. It was decent, the farmers market tempura was fresh and very lightly fried...no oil taste at all. Not so with the take out. The tempura was saturated in oil and completely ruined the taste. The edamame was old as if they reserved the old pieces for take out. The only saving grace was the miso soup, however, who wants to pay $40 including a tip for miso soup? Not me. Never again. Come on people! You want success? Up your game.

I am a regular, at least 2-3 times a month. The food is amazing and the service is usually great. The last three times have been horrendous. 1. Understaffed2. Food takes forever; they will bring dinner entrees 10-20mins in between! The owner needs to really evaluate what is going on.

Used to go here all the time 25 years ago. Not sure if the owners have changed, but the sushi bar brought back memories.Ordered both nigiri and their rolls and they are all good. Very fresh and well appointed with small accents. The size of the nigiri and rolls are very small compared to some other sushi restaurants, so be aware. Taste was A but fish serving size was C.
