Reviews for Hana Japanese Eatery in Phoenix, AZ
We used to come to this place back when I lived in central Phoenix but it?s been at least 5 years and boy are we glad we made... the trek back!! The sushi is SO good and the service is fantastic. Anytime we finished a plate someone was there to remove it. Anytime my water was half empty someone would refill it. It?s great quality food and very friendly service. We will be backto try the Japanese beer and whiskey selection! Definitely recommend checking this place out. Read more
We had the tuna tataki and tempura shrimp roll. Tai nanbazuke, the pork yakibuta and hana an mitsu dessert. Nothing really blew... us away. We have had better sushi around the valley. Definitely did not live up to our expectations as one of the best Japaneserestaurants around. The items on the menu were exciting to fantasize about but falls short of delivering. The service was aboveaverage. The ambience is nothing special. Before eating the food we were planning to come back. Now, not so much. Read more
Some serious Japanese food served by loving people. My new favorite when craving Mom?s cooking. This is the best Japanese food... in Arizona. The real dealio. The okonomyaki is over the top. Read more
After reading the reviews, we decided to come check this place out. We really enjoyed everything we ordered. We had ikura with... quail egg, okonomiyaki, spicy tuna roll, and a rainbow roll. We have never had okonomiyaki before so we can't compare it to aprevious experience, but we loved it! Everything was fresh and properly rolled. Nothing fell apart on us. Service was attentive.It's no wonder this place is BUSY. We will be back! Read more
I only came to this restaurant because they had okonomiyaki on the menu. The sushi roll quality was insanely poor, it was like... eating risotto soggy rice on the Lil Dyno roll. Poorly rolled, impossible to eat with chopsticks, roll instantly broke apart.The customer service was very slow, that I didn?t want to wait extra to order dessert. And server got my order incorrect Iordered hot green tea, and brought me bottled green tea and a glass. Read more
Hana is a wonderful Japanese Eatery nestled in the northern part of Phoenix, near Camelback. My wife and I were searching for... some good sushi and we found this magical place. The atmosphere is quite relaxed. We were not dressed up for any particularoccasion as were driving in from out of town. We started off with a chef's special, roasted eggplant in a ponzu broth withBonito flakes on top, and seaweed salad. The broth on the eggplant was so good I could have drank the whole bowl! Bothappetizers were incredibly flavorful, yet not too heavy for a first course. The next course was sashimi - tuna, uni, and Toro.The tuna sashimi was very light and delicate The uni sushi we tried for the first time, it was not our favorite but not becauseof the preparation--my wife and I just don't like uni. The main attraction, the Toro, was absolutely fantastic. It was our firsttime having Toro, and it was well worth the experience, even more delicate than the regular tuna sashimi with a melt in yourmouth buttery texture. I highly recommend the Toro if you are willing to splurge (market price ~40 USD for 6 pieces). The maincourse was the fish collar. This is while supplies last. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Delicate texture, fatty and lightflavor with nice crispy skin! The dipping sauce was the perfect accompaniment. Finally, we had mochi for dessert. My wife hadthe mango and I had the green tea. My favorite was a mix of both flavors. The green tea is a stronger "green" flavor, which Ienjoy, so if you don't like green tea that much, I would go for one of the other flavors. The service was also excellent. Mywife and I will be back to support this business. Overall, this place had won my wife and I over and we will definitelyrecommend to anyone wanting sushi or Japanese cuisine in the Phoenix area! @foodbrawl Read more
My experience here was great! The waiters were very nice, and even though there was a bit of a wait, it was worth it for the... great food. It's very clean inside too. Some foods my table got were the okonomiyaki, and the green tea mochi. The portions arefairly large for a good price! I would definitely come here again! Read more
Hands down favorite Japanese restaurant in town! Our favorites are the Philly roll, unagi, chicken karaage, tonkotsu ramen. Try... the flying IPA, the sparkling sake, and the fried Twinkie!!! Read more
