Hama Sushi

Editorial Review

Wins noir signage points alone on the Windward circle. Nonsensical Japanese greeting awaits entrants at this interminably crowded restaurant of Venetian scenesters, thick for happy hour. Outdoor addition provides smoker-friendly bar. Drink and mingle with attractive patrons under warm twinkling lights and surf flicks while waiting—and you will wait—for a seat at the sushi bar. Whatever, is this really about the fish or getting a date? Order crab cake rolls!
