Hamasato Japanese - Santa Maria

Food, nope. Service, nope. Atmosphere, nope. My boyfriend and I went to have a nice atmospheric dinner. We got the calamari and it was terrible so we told the waiter who said “well i can’t do anything about it”. Okay whatever, then our entrees come, also terrible just so bland and poor quality but there was nothing they could do about it so we had to just pay the bill and leave still hungry. Never going back.

Fantastic. Some of the cheapest Japanese good I have seen particularly in Cali. Obviously not of the HIGHEST quality but don't let that deceive you into thinking it is bad. 10/10 would go again.

Wonderful sushi! Really enjoyed the Japanese Nacho roll, I had two! I also liked the Rock ‘n Roll and miso soup.

We have made it a long term (10+ years) tradition on NYE to visit Hama Sato. We have never been disappointed their tempera is the best we’ve had light but tasty. The building is starting to show it’s age but the excellent food friendly staff keep us coming back, year after year.

Best Japanese food in town no other can out beat the power of Hamasoto pig you are another Japanese restaurant in Santa Maria, please don’t even try to size your self up to this place cause you know this is the best Japanese food in town and if I could give a million stars I would my family loves it and I do as well thank you for the best service very friendly and when dining in feels like your eating in Japan lol sounds corny but it’s true if you haven’t tried yet please do and when you leave happy please give a review and let me know cause I do come back every now and then to the check the reviews . Kid-friendliness: Very sweet and gives a delicious green tea ice cream to go down with all the food they give you at the end.
