The food was delicious! I got the steak and shrimp hibachi combo. The chef was very friendly and ensured all of our food was cooked the way we wanted. Great portions as well.

If you're a fan of hibachi and live in the south burbs, give the good people at Hamada a try. Came here with my family for dinner and we had a great time. Sure you'll smell like smoke when you leave, but that's part of the fun! This place is on par with Benihana, Ron of Japan, etc... Which means a great selection of food dishes, a sizable number of drink options, and a price point of ~$50 a person. I went with the steak and shrimp, but everything I ate here was excellent (i.e. veggies, fried rice, salad) and they give you so much that you will have leftovers for sure. Even though the place was packed, the service was quite good. I never saw the bottom of my water glass, and the staff always had a smile on their face. Huge fan of Hamada

I love watching my food cooked in front of me and Hamada is in my top 3. I know what to expect every visit and I still have a blast with the chefs. It's nothing like dinner and a show lol. Hibachi always hits the spot! 8/10

I have been coming here since I was a kid. It is always our go to place for special occasions. The food is always tasty tasty tastyyyyy!!!! Amazing portions too. The inside is very cramped when in busy hours, very very hot. I really don't think there's any air flow in the restaurant. We say in our sweat the entire time. The service is amazing. I'm really hoping these employees get paid well. They bust their butts in this hot, busy environment. The tables seat 8, however it still is a little cramped. Other than these things, this is an amazing experience. I'll always continue to come back to this location.

I've tried other hibachi places but Hamada of Japan is my fav since 2015, the food is well seasoned, buttered, and properly crispy. You can ask if you want well done or less cooked and if you want only veggies or only a specific veggie they do that too. It was busy when we went on a Sunday evening ( 2 people) we had to wait 15 mins for an open table which seems normal for hibachi. Service was a slower than usual but staff were still polite. I love the vibe of this place, they have a gorgeous koi pond inside & beautiful glass art. Definitely worth the try if you've tried other hibachi places and the food was bland or pale, your taste buds will be satisfied here.

Very impressed .Been to many hibachi places ...and it was delicious, even the hibachi noodles were good ...Our chef was very entertaining to top it off ..I will go back.

We're doing suburban date night and came on a Saturday (early) night around 6 pm. There was a 45 minute wait and it took us about an hour to be seated, but no worries, there is a bar and we found a seat and had drinks! If you're not patient, be prepared to pull up and put your name on the list. I had the Mai Tai and he had a Sapporo. My drink had a good amount of alcohol. Zero complaints lol I mean it's date night right?! On to the main experience, I enjoyed the soup and appreciate when they have lots of those fried shoestring onions. Then there's the salad. I had the ginger dressing which was good, but a lot lol the salad to dressing ratio was off, but whatever lol I'm not here for that. My main course was the lobster and filet hibachi experience. I had noodles and extra shrimp (with the egg yolk sauce), and extra garlic butter on everything!! Also I recommend getting all the dishes instead of just broccoli....because grilled onions! So delicious and I had plenty of leftovers. I'll def be
