New Hama Fusion is our local Japanese restaurant, and the first time we visited, it was because we were craving sushi. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the sushi itself was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can tell they put care into their preparation — every roll we ordered was well-balanced and delicious.
The service was friendly and attentive, and the menu offers a wide variety of sushi options as well as other Japanese and fusion dishes. It’s the kind of place where you can easily spend time enjoying the presentation as much as the food.
That said, it’s not the cheapest sushi spot in town. The quality is there, but the prices mean we haven’t returned as often as I’d like. I genuinely like this restaurant and the people running it — it’s just that my sushi habits lean toward being more budget-friendly.
Still, for a special occasion or when you want to treat yourself to sushi that’s a step above the everyday, New Hama Fusion is a great choice...
Read moreI am very disappointed with the service at New Hama. My friend and I ordered take out during our lunch break and when we went inside to pick it up I asked the employee if we could sit down and eat quickly and he rudely said “no” and I repeated my question again because I was so taken back by his dismissive response and he firmly said that we could not sit down and eat our food.

I am beyond disappointed by this interaction because I am a consistent customer, but I will no longer be. I have never experienced this before in any other establishment and am sad to say that I will not...
Read moreDined here Friday night with the wife. We had not been here in many years but we were given a gift card for Hama so we decided to try it again. The complementary crab/cheese balls are too greasy and not a good combination. Gyoza soup was just ok - didn't care for the beef stock. Duck roll appetizer was terrible. The meager portion of duck was very fatty and the sauce that was served with it was all wrong. This needed a plum sauce. Sushi rolls were not great. Not sure exactly whether it was the quality of the fish, or the fact that some of the ingredients were too cold. Service was good, but we had to wait too long for our entree. To me, Kotobuki is the gold standard for sushi on Long Island - and Hama isn't in the same league. Not sure I will ever go back - even with...
