Hump (The)
Website Details  Map
3221 Donald Douglas Loop South 3rd
Enjoy fresh top-grade tuna or hamachi from sushi master Hiro Nishimura. With a bamboo-and-cane motif, the Hump (the WWII pilots' name for the Himayalas) has an exotic look and feel. Platters of raw fish are arranged beautifully on handcrafted platters. Ask for the daily specials, which feature the day's freshest fish. Specialties like Abalone with fat Shiitake Mushrooms or a Bahamian-style Conch Shell filled with conch meat in a savory broth are always excellent. The dining room is quite small, so if you plan on coming on a weekend, make sure to make your reservations at least a week in advance. If you come during the week, calling earlier in the day for that same night should be sufficient.
