Change of ownership: There will be new owners in April 2021. The current owner and chef, Niko, has sold the business. He will... focus his time and energy at his flagship restaurant, Sushi Plantation, in Mission Viejo. Hanako was definitely one of the bestJapanese restaurants I?ve ever eaten at. The dishes created by Niko were as attractive and creative as they were delicious.Numerous friends and family have dined there. Although we are sad that he is leaving the area we all wish him the best. As forthe future of this location, it appears that the new owners will introduce a mix of sushi and Thai cuisine. 2018 A great placefor sushi and creative menu items. The chef has been in the restaurant business for almost 20 years. He's studied in France,among other countries, and brings that knowledge to his food preparations. The presentation is awesome as is the unique blendingof the flavors form those different cuisines. Of course, the sushi is at the heart of what is offered. I've been to many placeswhere the temperature of the fish is too cold (tasteless) or just a tad bit too warm (mushy). Chef Niko serves his sushi at justthe right temperature so that the flavors are are their peak and the texture of the fish is not compromised. This is rare. Therestaurant is clean and the staff are helpful and friendly. Prices are very reasonable. There is plenty of free parking. Askchef Niko for suggestions and you'll be impressed at what he can create. We'll definitely be back and with friends. Read more

A very quaint setting which makes the space very inviting. You?re always in the line of sight of your servers as well which... gives it a very personal feel. The food and presentation is fantastic. I enjoyed everything I chose on the menu, plus thesubstitute suggestions of our server. I will certainly be going back whenever I feel an urge for sushi. The price wasn?t bad atall; very affordable and good quality sushi. For an added bonus their ramen is very delicious as well, so don?t be afraid tojust stop in for ramen too! Read more
