Hana Japanese Eatery

OK this was a pretty good not 5 stars put almost small with about 15 tables and the Susi bar service was good they could of explained what was different about them then other Susi bars because they do bento boxes for lunch and dinner I wish I would of order one of them but that’s for next time the food that we had was really good yakisoba was one of the best that I have had the Susi was normal the tempera ice was fantastic will be back

Certainly the best Japanese restaurant in Phoenix. Possibly the best restaurant in town. They spare no expense on the quality of their fish.

Best sushi in AZ. For real. Only downside is I stink like tempura when I leave. Really poor ventilation.

I’m a fan… this place serves more Japanese fare… lots of izakaya style, small bites. Not the widest variety of sushi on the menu, but that’s okay. Just know that it’s not really a sushi bar for huge variety. It gets busy so don’t be surprised if you have to wait a bit. It’s also BYO, which is maybe the best part!

What a terrible place, I don’t know if this was an off night for them or if this is a normal night but my boyfriend and I had the absolute worst service.
We sat outside and the waitress was pretty prompt at getting us our drinks, but she must have gotten stuck w/​other customers inside because it took about 15 minutes for us to order our food. Once we did tho, the food came out quick. We ordered a side of lemon wedges, I asked the waitress, got nothing, the boys that come in and check on us I asked as well, nothing. Finally, we get a couple of lemon slices, very tiny thin slices lemon. I asked for wedged and they took it back to replace it and I kid you not, 25 minutes pass by, nothing. FINALLY, lemon wedges arrived and we can eat. When they arrived I had asked the guy for another order of lemon wedges, 20 minutes pass and nothing. Then finally we get them.
*SIGH*
Our drinks never refilled, no idea where the waitress is, I was ready to go home. We ask for the check and waited… waited some more… and, waited…
I went to wait in our car and my boyfriend went inside to pay, $ 41!!! For his Alaskan Roll, Shrimp Sushi, and my Avocado Roll and Vegetable Roll. My rolls were never on the menu, but they were $ 9 EACH!!! WTF!!! My rolls w/​avocado and carrots were more expensive than the specialty rolls?
I went back for an itemized receipt, they don’t have one. The guy wrote everything out and I was overcharge by $ 3.50. I realized that after we drove away and wasn’t going to turn around for such a small amount.
AWFUL PLACE NEVER RETURNING!!!

Always excellent. My faves are the salmon nigiri and the eel nigiri. But you can’t go wrong here.

Hana probably has the freshest sushi in Phoenix. They always have specials posted above the sushi bar and what they serve regularly is beyond delicious as well. It is BYOB, but they open it for you and how good the food is MORE than makes up for such a minor inconvenience, (if it could even be considered inconvenient). The service is always polite and prompt as well. I love Hana Sushi and my only wish was that it was closer to my neck of the woods!!!

Best restaurant in Phoenix.
Best Chef in Phoenix.
Best Small Business in Arizona.
Best Sushi in The American Southwest.
I love this place.
Everyone who works here is the best too.
This is where we go for the event nights when we can escape the kids. We love it. BYOB btw.

I have eaten sashimi at many restaurants and this place is one of the best. Great place that doesn’t look like much from the outside. Don’t let the looks fool you. It’s truly one of the best restaurants for fresh fish in the country. And it happens to be in Phoenix!
We had two giant plates of sashimi. I can recommend any of the fish. We didn’t have any rolls but I am sure those are good as well.
Oh… Bring your own alcohol! They don’t serve any.

Whoops wrong hana I have not been here sorry

Have been here a number of times over the years and it’s been constantly good. I always get sushi and sushi rolls so I can’t say anything about the other dishes. The fish has always been fresh and well prepared. The rolls are consistently good.
Always a crowd, be prepared to wait. Get it to go if you want to enjoy the goodness in your own home!
Service has always been good with friendly hosts and servers.
BYOB/​W is great since restaurants tend to mark up the booze so much. Gets loud inside, but that’s how it goes.

Awesome sushi spot. Very low key atmosphere.
We had the California Roll and Shrimp Tempura. I definately recommend stopping in for a nice roll!

After spending our entire lives eating gooooood Asian food in California and the summer in Asia being spoiled by all the authentic delicacies, we were super excited to discover this gem in Phoenix!
Hana has the best sushi in AZ, hands down. The yellowtail sashimi is our favorite, because it melts in your mouth. But all the other sushi is really good, including the salmon and spicy tuna roll. The sashimi is so flavorful and definitely tastes fresh. The prices are a bit high, but that wasn’t a dealbreaker for us since we know we’re in Arizona, sushi comes at a price. The quality of fish here is definitely worth the price, though.
Tonkotsu Ramen is wonderful, as well. You have to order the egg on the side, but the pork and egg (if added) are cooked perfectly and the portions for the ramen is huge. It’s a good, filling meal at a great price. Definitely recommended!

I have to admit, the stellar Unilocal reviews may have caused my expectations to get a little out of control. A few of the issues:
*Service felt «hover-​y.» It’s hard to have a relaxing dinner when it feels like people are waiting for you to leave.
*Sushi did not taste terribly fresh. We may have hit an off night but I was a bit disappointed with the quality.
*The sushi menu is fairly limited and unfortunately, I didn’t see the four rolls on special written on the blackboard until after we ordered.
The staff *were* very nice and it was a pleasant enough experience but given other options available, I probably wouldn’t return.

This quaint little neighborhood sushi bar has charm that stretches for days. Our group of 4 came here Friday night for dinner and business was bustling. We had to wait around 15 minutes for a table which wasn’t so bad considering how busy it was.
The menu is very stream lined but the focus is still always dedicated to the freshness and quality of their sushi. We enjoyed salmon sashimi and uni sashimi. The spicy tuna roll was delightful and the spiciness did not overcome the fresh flavor of the tuna. One of my favorites, unagi nigiri, did not disappoint!
We definitely plan to return here. Our go-​to will most likely be the scallop dynamite, which our friends ordered and we tried and loved. The uni oyster shooters were fun and yummy. It’s a great way to introduce people who don’t usually eat uni to enjoy the unique melt in your mouth texture. I’m slowly starting to enjoy uni since we order it so much. I think I could get others addicted to it too!

We don’t to come here as often as we would like since it’s a bit of a drive from Gilbert, but Hana is definitely our favorite Japanese restaurant in town. Besides the great food and service, we also love the no-​corkage BYOB. We usually bring a white wine, and they make sure to put it in an ice bucket for us.
Hana has a good variety of well executed classics and lots of unique specials. The Hana tamago was recently featured in the Republic’s food section with good reason. It’s a really cool dish featuring a tempura battered soft boiled egg set on top of a delicious creamy sauce. Get it and don’t share! I also had the heirloom tomato sashimi a few months ago and loved it. As a vegetarian, it’s great to see a sushi chef’s attention to detail extended to veggies as well.
My husband is the meat eater in the family so he has got to enjoy some awesome seafood dishes. Most recently, he had a beautiful looking lobster dish (his favorite of the night) and an entire grilled squid. He also had high praises for a tuna roll topped with fried garlic as well.
We are really looking forward to coming back with friends and family so we can share Hana’s goodness.

Visited @HanaSushi for the first time, today.
Ordered a spicy tuna roll, a Yellowtail roll, a Vegas roll, and the Volcano roll.
The spicy tuna was delicious, and had a great presentation.
The Yellowtail roll was good, but underwhelming.
The Vegas roll was amazing! The crispy edge made for a unique experience in sushi.
The Volcano roll was out of this world fantastic! The top layer of white fish, with the spicy sauce, and the added characteristic of it being baked, made for what is my new favorite dish.
I will definitely be returning.

Went in with high expectation and left dissatisfied. Ordered the Beni-​Hana (9pieces of nigiri, spicy tuna and tempura) miso soup and a volcano roll with a side of avocado.
1) they charge $ 2.00 extra for the teeny tiny avocado pieces on the side
2) The service was terrible. Our order wasn’t complete and when we asked for a side of fresh wasabi, it never came around.
3) The sushi grade was okay… Definitely not a ⁴⁄₅ star restaurant. I will continue my hunt for the best sushi spot in Phoenix

Well we had a party of 6 so we waited about 20 mins for a table. We had just came from hiking so we got really thirsty from waiting and asked for water. They said we were about to be seated soon so we waited.
we already knew what we wanted having waited so long so we quickly ordered. We got our water once our food came. We also got a few sushi rolls before appetizer and two people who ordered bento boxes had to wait longer. So we all waited and started digging in.
I have never had sushi roll that fall apart. The volcano roll also was lack of fish and I’ve never seen that. We had to ask to return one roll because it was just falling apart and we couldn’t eat it.
The salmon roll and Vegas roll were really good. Just the volcano was falling apart. The Gyoza was also delicious. We tried the pork and vegetable. So this can be hit or miss but I know I don’t recommend it if you looking for some sushi in Arizona!!!

Hana holds a special place in my heart as it was one of the first Japanese place I’ve eaten here in Arizona!
I’ve been here multiple times for their sushi and yes, yes, yes hands down really good quality sushi/​sashimi and they do BYOB– uhm what? Yes, come here.
I decided to do something different for a change and try their ramen– I’ve been in all sorts of Asian food withdrawals so yeah, ramen it was. I ordered the Tonkotsu broth ramen and an order of Salmon Nigiri, because the quality of their fish here is on point. The waitress was nice enough to confirm and even offer me an egg of which I quickly agreed, until I questioned what kind — a chicken egg, she replies … uhm not exactly what I was asking. She later responds, oh soft boiled! She was so cute! Hahaha. Soft boiled eggs are my weakness, FYI. The tonkotsu broth was milky, good chewy noodles and fairly large in portion, the charshu was thick but oh-​so tender and the soft boiled egg was perfect. It comes with menma, scallions, wakame and naruto garnish the top which are good flavor accents to the bowl of ramen.
The service here is good, love the dim and intimate atmosphere. Rick is always smiling and observant of his customers! I always feel welcomed and appreciated when coming here.
The total bill for the ramen and two pieces of nigiri came out to be around $ 18 – 20 with tip, which is a bit pricey for just ramen. However, it’s pretty good in comparison than other ramen I’ve had here in Phoenix and the quality of the food and service here is downright great.
