Multiple locations
This veteran of the Las Vegas restaurant scene has become a Las Vegas favorite for its fresh, inventive, always well-prepared offerings. As further testament to the authenticity of Hamada's offerings, consider that its hotel-based locations are regular haunts of visiting Japanese tourists. Osaka Japanese Restaurant took your runner-up spot.
Our Pick: HAMADA OF JAPAN
In addition to the wonderful food, we like Hamada for the taste of its decor. There's nothing cheesy here, and the chain's dining rooms -- with small stone temples, greenery, even a historic suit of samurai armor at one location -- are created with the same sense of balance as its culinary offerings.
