This is where I go to treat myself to my ideal sushi dining experience in Tucson. I like the atmosphere, it is not overly loud or crowded but more importantly I crave the sushi. Pancho roll is incredible, so is the Wildcat, as well as many other unique rolls they have exclusively. Generous fish portions something other places in Tucson will skimp on. One item that should be tried if you appreciate different things is a stuffed yellow pepper with salmon, and cream cheese inside, with a crispy pinko crust. It is served hot and is AMAZING. It is spicy, has a kick but is sooooo Good. Haven't had anything else like it anywhere in Tucson.

For the last 6 months (out of 6 years)that I have eaten at Sushi Hama, my partner and I have had GI problems. At first we thought it was a GI reflex, but considering the hours involved with the type of GI upset, this may be due to E. Coli or Salmonella problems. I observed that a Sushi maker does not use gloves to serve food. Waitresses remove dishes as well as serve dishes without hand cleaning, sushi maker will take back fish that the customer has used and place it back in the dish for sushi preparation. Rice pots are set on the kitchen floor and then brought to the sushi bar. The fish may not be the identified fish especially the yellowtail. Spicy Tuna may not be actual tuna. Sushi sometimes has funny taste. Food quality very poor. Think about it before you indulge. You may become ill or you may be cheated. Bathrooms often not clean and is missing frequently hand soap for hand washing. Overall quality very poor with new owner. PH Dept has been notified.



In addition to the above remarks, the owner has the manager and waitresses charge the customer additional money to the tune of $60.00 or more for the leaving approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of rice. The manager had to be threatened with Police activity before he would take my credit card for the correct amount of money for ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI and a small beer. I seriously think the more people know this, customers will be hesitant to eat there. In my sincere opinion there are definitely food health and cost problems in this restaurant. Hopefully, the owner, Mr.Raphael(?) may do himself in because of the poor quality of his restaurant. Realistically, it would be safer for the unknowing customer.

From the greeting at the the door to the owner throwing you hot towels. You can tell why this is the best Sushi restraunt in town. I owner is dedicated to an excallat product at a great price. I visit at least twice a week and have been doing so for about a year and have yet to have a negetive thing happen while in the restraunt.
