Sushi Chew Chew Train
Japanese restaurant
👍 Came here for the first time mid week lunch. Nice to see a sushi train in hamilton. Loved the food, was very fresh, still warm for some of the dishes and great choice of dishes. Can get a little carried away though and eat too much, and it is more expensive than other places but worth the extra cost...

👍👍 En passant for this mall to satisfy our hunger, when we encounter this gem out of sudden. We well know the Temakeria, quite widespread in our hometown São Paulo and we gave it a go.

👍👍 I always try to stop by for sushi when I’m in the shore! It’s always been quite busy, long line out the door usually. I really like that everything is easily bite-able, it doesn’t seem to fall apart as much as other sushi places for me. Price range is slightly on the higher side depending on what s...

👍👍 Our go-to place for Japanese food. Made to order and prepared in minutes, chicken, salmon and pork katsu here is top notch. Highly recommended if your in the area or passing by. If only the music was a bit louder to add to the atmosphere rather than being so quiet like a library, but nothing wrong w...

👍👍 One of the best Japanese restaurants in Hamilton! The prices are very reasonable and the sushi is the best I've had in Hamilton, the ramen is also very authentic and delicious. The only downside is that they are only open weekdays! The sushi selection is superb and you must try it without soy sauce...

👍👍 Went there twice and wish I have tried even before. Awesome food, welcoming and warmth atmosphere. It closes at 8, giving us enough time to enjoy after the library closes. I particularly loved the prawns and pork tonkatsu, crunch and yummy to the extreme. Will come back again in a few weeks. 감사해...
