Hotaru Sushi - Hamilton, Ontario

Sushi was alright. I only eat vegetarian so I have limited options. They're spicy shrimp sushi is good. I didn't like the yam one. The shrimp tempura is nice and the fried rice with eggs is nice. I also tried the dragon roll one (shrimp, avocado) which was fine. We ... had free water and green te to drink. Our kids were being too noisy and they didn't seem to like it. The female waitress didn't smile and wasn't friendly. But there was a young male waitress that was very friendly and accomodating. Their dessert was limited: just rice pudding and few ice cream flavours. No fried banana or other options. No small candy at the end too either after you finish. If you want a child-friendly place, don't come here. Their customer service could be improved as well as their menu to provide more options. I did love their mango salad though - probably the best thing you have to try it! The sauce is awesome. It was alright but I don't think I'll come back. Read more

AYCE but still very high quality sushi. Tempura could be a bit crispier but excellent experience overall. Dinner selection was extensive as well as dessert. I was happy with the service also. Server spoke Mandarin and English.

One of the more decent sushi options in the area. Interesting interior design, good service, AYCE price within reason. And, of course, good sushi! Some of the folks may not hold the shape, but that doesn't detract from their taste. Deep fried calamari and scallops we're fantastic too.

Bad service, ok sushi, decent prices. Offers all u can or a la carte. We ordered a la carte, chicken and salmon bento box, white tuna roll, crispy crab roll. Had to ask waitresses 3 times for water. Refills came once. Neither hot and sour soup nor miso soup good. ... Bento box was mediocre. Rolls were feeble. Would not recommend. Read more

Food was great and very tasty. Had a variety from the all you can eat option and liked all but one. A bit pricey for what it is but excellent and fast service. We sat outside which does not seem to be too popular although weather was great and the ... atmosphere very cosy. Dessert was yummy! Read more
