Food and service was great. Good tip, always ask your waitron their name and where they are from. Makes a huge difference to the rest of your time there! Had soup, dim sums and rainbow platter. Ordered a good chenin blanc to top it all!
My favourite sushi place at the moment. Good food. Service is alright but can improve. The waiter we had yesterday was pretty good. I recommend Hamachi to all my friends :)
This has become a favorite go to for sushi buffet, the portion sizes are great because you are able to have a variety of different types of sushi. The service is alright, not 5 star but definitely not terrible. It has gotten a little bit slower s they have become busier in the recent months.
1 disappointment that I have is that they frequently forget to place orders for certain items and after waiting a while for the food, I usually don't feel like sticking around. They could definitely hire some more staff to eliviate this issue.
Despite the waiting, it is always worth it when the food gets to the table. I will continue to frequent here in the future as Hamachi is definately great value for money and very conveniently located.
It’s was delicious and an amazing experience
A spacious hidden gem tucked away off Main Rd with ample parking at night, a sushi conveyor and dim sum! Who could ask for more? One of the most decently priced drink menus i’ve seen in a long time including hot sake @ ZAR55/ jug.
Favoured by students for the sushi buffet, Hamachi’s menu also offers a selection of Thai seafood dishes and curries, all very decently priced. It would be perfect if it had vegetable tempura, although the shiitake gyoza makes up for it.
Conveniently open till 21:30 7 days a week it’s the perfect Southern Suburbs sushi hangout. Will be back.
Great selection of sushi (fresh, traditional and deep fried), amazing special, affordable drinks, friendly staff, fresh decor. No oily smell.
Great fresh sushi! I’ve been here more than 3 times and every time I’m impressed with quality and service. Only reason I don’t visit as often is because I moved to the northern suburbs but when I visit the south I’ll def make a stop again
Whenever I'm in Claremont, Hamachi is always my go to for sushi. They're not too expensive like sushi in the CBD but they're fresh! They have quite a bit of variety which I love. The sushi chefs are friendly but the waiters could definitely use some training or rehiring. Generally when you go to a sushi restaurant (especially ones with a sushi belt) it's more self service than anything else, but having to ask for my glass of water 3 times is a bit drastic.
A friend of mine had mentioned fairly recently that his favourite place to get sushi in the burbs was Hamachi, so I decided to give it a try a few weeks ago and I've gone back multiple times since. My go-to rolls are the Snowflake Roll and the Hamachi Roll.
After reading some reviews we went in expecting good sushi but not the best service. Thankfully we were pleasantly surprised and had great sushi and great service. We tried some new and interesting types of sushi that we'd never had before and really enjoyed them. At the end of the evening I did order a hot chocolate that was definitely the worst hot chocolate that I have ever had in my life, it tasted like one spoon of hot chocolate added to a glass of hot water. I'd definitely go back and just skip the hot chocolate next time.
This place is amazing value for money. The sushi was up to standard and delicious. I ate till I was sick. The atmosphere and the service was a little dull. Don't order Chinese (wasn't great) stick with the sushi buffet.
We go to Hamachi often because of the fresh sushi and excellent customer service. Their Samurai Platter is delicious - would definitely recommend!
Food was amazing! Although we were arrived before opening time, we were welcomed inside and could order cooldrinks while we waited for the kitchen to open. Service was prompt and friendly. Was the youngest birthday celebration and the staff did an impromptu song for him!! Well done to them!!
When reviews call Hamachi a hidden gem they couldn’t be more right! How is everybody not talking about this fantastic sushi restaurant?!?!
I was delightfully surprised by their delicious sushi and of course their all-you-can-eat special active everyday of the week that includes hot items on the menu too! Be sure to ask for the salmon roses, sticky crispy chicken and bow ties from the menu (all part of the special and all delicious).
The wide sushi range convinced me to sit at the conveyor belt because it’s tough to decide what to have! It’s all so good! I like that they have classic sushi as well as more fusion based sushi options.
The managers are very hands on and the staff are happy and hard working. Attentive service that makes you feel like a local. Ambience is not too loud and you would feel comfortable enough going solo.
Arrive hungry 😊
The sushi and Chinese food buffet special never lets us down!
They have great options, unlike some sushi buffets, which can be very limited to what you can get.
One of my faves is General Tso's chicken ! Yum!
My godson loves Asian food and because the menu is so vast... we can eat all of Asia in one place... it doesn't have India but Japan specifically he loves. It's his second time there.
A truly fantastic place to come and eat; the decor is excellent, has a great feel, was immaculate inside, and had an element of wow this is cool with a food conveyer belt moving sushi around an elegant bar.
The stalf are fantastic their job is made easy by some buffer style eating, but even then they are attentive, kind and flexible in their jobs very professional.
There is a great special, not sure if it's always on, but it's R215 for all-you-can-eat sushi now; if you come early, there are loads of black plates which are excellent as the night wears on, there are more blue and green, but I did not mind in the slightest all the sushi tasted tremendous and came for a great price.
One of my favourite sushi spots with friends. The service and staff are always great. Lovely atmosphere. Hidden gem. Their takeaway is just as great. It’s always ready in 20 😄 or less.
Amazing place to go for all you can eat sushi! It currently costs R200 a person but it is so worth it! And absolutely amazing, the sticky Chicken and Crispy Sushi is a must try and it definitely is an amazing place to just enough good Chinese food!
The sushi is lovey so many varieties to choose from and the buffet for R205 is worth every penny.
Ample seating nice ambience and they will be seeing me again.
Only thing I didn't like is there is no kiddies menu so leave them at home so you can have a great time and eat as much sushi as you can.
Bottomless Asian food. What more could you possibly want.
I didn't say sushi I said Asian food cause they offer a wide selection of their main meals as part of the deal so you can eat all the sushi your heart desires and main meals for a very reasonable price.
I didn't have high hopes going in as the friend who recommended the place has a bad track history but this hidden gem needs all the recognition it gets.
My only regret was not knowing of it sooner and devouring more of their utter mouthwatering food.
Hamachi is by far the best sushi restaurant around the Southern Suburbs. They consistently have high quality sushi made with the best ingredients. The chefs are amazing too and make sushi with such passion. I’ve been craving sushi during lockdown and decided to get some from Hamachi today. It was definitely a great idea to get sushi from them today. My partner had the Salmon Combo platter and I had the veg platter. Needless to say, my sushi cravings may be satisfied for now but I’m eagerly awaiting my next meal from Hamachi! :)
