Hanamaru Japanese Sushi & Kaiseki Restaurant

Only ate here once for 2 people on a Saturday. For sure reserve as it's basically just the only way you're ever gonna eat here since their opening hours are so restricted. It seems to be run by 2 people, assuming "Mom and Pop". It was just them so you'll have to be patient with service. We sort of got our orders out of order (green tea came mid dinner and my partners plate came 10 minutes later than mine). Also, I am afraid to say that their "Takeout" service negatively affected our "Dine-in" experience. There was several people just standing around near the door for pickup which made the very small dining area almost suffocating. With so many pickup orders, the owners obviously were rushed and extremely busy. As for food, I do not recommend the Sashimi plate. It was previously frozen and it was super watery and flavorless. I really would love to support this local family owned restaurant but I think focusing on Dine in than take out would be better.

Amazing food! Be sure to get reservations for this mom and pop Japenese restraunt! We had sushi, nigiri, tonkatsu, yoga soba that all had amazing depth if flavor. The calamari was tender and everything was cooked perfectly! We'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

Kind owners that make great tasting food. The exterior and interior ambiance is nice. I’ve been here for dinner and once for ramen Saturday’s, never disappointed about anything. The Yakiniku is tasty and savory, reminds me eating a thoughtfully meal cooked at home. The large size tonkatsu has a good amount of noodles and the pork is very tender. Vegetable tempura is light and fresh, the sushi is great tasting as well. Be sure to call ahead to make a reservation for your group. This place is great, give it a try.

If you haven't been to Hamamaru in Ogden, you're missing out! This small, family owned, diamond in the rough is well worth the wait. Be sure to make a reservation and try their amazing sashimi, katsu curry, and tempura dinner. With the pandemic, we pre-ordered food over the phone which was ready shortly after sitting down for our reservation. 🤤
