Description

Set on the top floor of South Coast Plaza's Crystal Court where Bangkok Four used to be, the restaurant is James Hamamori's latest and most personal ode to raw fish. You may know the man better as the chef behind the Wasa Sushi mini-empire. For his new, glass-enclosed digs, Hamamori pulls a Steve Wynn by naming it after himself. But unlike the Vegas mogul, he works the floor-he's one of the guys preparing your meal.

  • 2008 | Best Place to Eat If Someone Else Is Paying

    Great sushi has never been cheap, but no one else in OC has been able to get away with charging as much as James Hamamori does. Dinner for two at his eponymous South Coast Plaza eatery will climb into the triple digits faster than you can say "omakase" ($80 per person for food, an additional $40 for wine or sake pairing). This is the reason why you should get someone else to pay for it. For example, a repentant boyfriend trying to make amends, or that sales exec who's desperate... More »

    Great sushi has never been cheap, but no one else in OC has been able to get away with charging as much as James Hamamori does. Dinner for two at his eponymous South Coast Plaza eatery will climb into the triple digits faster than you can say "omakase" ($80 per person for food, an additional $40 for wine or sake pairing). This is the reason why you should get someone else to pay for it. For example, a repentant boyfriend trying to make amends, or that sales exec who's desperate to get a signature on a dotted line. Let them buy your way into your good graces with a meal prepared by Hamamori himself; a sushi feast to break bank accounts and breach credit limits . . . just not your own.
