Reviews for Sushi Hanabi in Pleasanton, CA

Just moved to the area and have tried a few sushi places, this one is v fresh and the spicy tuna has good flavor. We also... ordered a spicy salmon hand roll, chuck norris roll, several slices of sashimi slices + nigiri pieces.. all fresh and nicelyprepared, perfect amount of rice in a roll! We will be back:) Read more

Not my kind of sushi place, I came in with a taste for Japanese flavors but realized it was a heavier and spicier kind of place.... Ordered the Chuck Norris Roll and it's definitely a Korean flavor of sushi, in that case, I'd rather order some good ole Gimbapbut that wasn't on the menu. Not many options for vegetarian sushi rolls. I asked for a simple roll with just pickled Daikonradish and the ratio of Daikon and rice wasn't right, too much Daikon. Read more

Fresh ingredients and a pleasant atmosphere in this Japanese restaurant. The tables are spaced and the background chatter never... disturbing, allowing for a pleasant conversation over dinner. The sushi /sashimi taste good and the combination options aresatisfying. The grilled edamame is quite good! Read more

Food was decent but service was slow and unattentive. Prices are definitely on the higher side without offering more quality or... more expensive types of fish in dishes compared to other sushi restaurants. Read more

My husband and I love this place. I always enjoy great sushi here. Highly recommend it. Lately we order it to go and have a... lovely at home sushi night! Read more

Sushi was probably the best sushi ive had ina while. We got the soju roll, the Victorias secret, Chubby chubby, caterpillar... rolls. Definitely will be coming back soon Read more

Cute little place with an impressive menu, including a specials menu of fish flown in internationally. We've been here a few... times and enjoyed their okonomiyaki (which is impossible to find in the tri valley area) and special rolls. Most recently,Husband and I shared hamachi toro from the specials menu (sooooo good!!!) and the signature sushi set for 2. The sushi set comeswith miso soup (very gentle flavor...perhaps white miso?) and salad (really liked the tangy dressing), 6 pieces chef's choicesashimi, 6 pieces chef's choice nigiri, and you pick 2 rolls from their popular rolls menu. Rolls were good, but we thoughttheir sashimi and nigiri were Hanabi's strength. When realized they had brought us one of the wrong rolls, they made us theright one and let us take the wrong one home. Excellent customer service!! This place is very popular and often has a wait.There is a small parking lot, but we've never had trouble getting a spot. I've only ever seen 2 wait staff working at a time, soservice can feel a little slow compared to other places, but it's really not that bad. Read more

From the outside you wouldn?t expect this to be THE BEST sushi restaurant in Pleasanton. The place is located at a small strip... mall. However, the sushi you get served here is so delicious, it?s unbelievably fresh and tasteful. I usually sit at the bar tosee the sushi chefs work. It?s a spectacle in itself. Highly recommend to go for some of the special rolls. Read more
