If you have never been to a teppanyaki-style restaurant, you are in for a real treat. You sit at a bar-style grill, and the chef cooks your order right in front of you while performing clever tricks. They are very entertaining.

If you're seated in the teppan room, you still can order sushi (however, the teppan is much better than the sushi). This location is the flagship and has the best atmosphere of any of the Hamada locations, with a number of Japanese art items and artifacts. It's also the largest, with high ceilings and spacious rooms.

If you have a large party and want the teppan room, you should make a reservation.

One of the few Sushi/Japanese restaurants on the Strip, this restaurant is located in the Luxor hotel. We were pleasantly suprised to find that we were able to get a table right away without a reservation but we were shocked to see that we had to ask for an a la carte sushi menu. During the meal, the waitress rarely returned to see if we wanted to order an additional drink. The sushi was, however, fresh but both the spicy tuna roll and eel rolls were drowned in their appropriate sauces.
