Solid sushi, the rolls were nice and tasted fresh, small choice on the menu, but well done. The gyoza was awful though, tasted like out of a bag and just dumped in the fryer (very greasy and soggy). Overall, service was great and the restaurant looked cute and inviting. We'll give it another try in the next weeks. read more

Always quality food with great service. if you are looking for sushi this is the best place in Bothell, they also have gluten free soy sauce available on request. read more

I like this restaurant. Some ppl say that rolls are small but I didn't really feel that way because maybe I am Japanese. Probably rolls here are supposed to be bigger. Anyway, I brought my mother who was visiting me from Japan and she really liked this restaurant. Sushi tastes authentic plus other foods taste really good! This is a Japanese restaurant that Japanese think we can bring some guests from Japan. read more

Unpretentious high quality sushi Though the technical craftsmanship of our rolls were not shall I say structurally withstanding to chopstick handling, the flavor and taste was quite delicious. Very friendly service with a small town cross section of patrons, made Hana sushi stand out amongst the more pretentious Seattle sushi joints I've dined in. No wait or reservations was needed for prime time on Saturday night. read more

I don't get it. Lots of five star reviews, mediocre sushi. A trend that continues here at Hana: no wasabi on the Nigiri sushi, and what is on the plate has no heat. I came here on a Friday and sat at the sushi bar. Just like at Big Fish, you order from a dedicated waitress instead of the sushi chef. I don't understand this. I had my usual starter, Spicy Tuna Roll. It tasted great. Lots of people coming in now. Bar is filling up. Everyone is ordering those fancy large rolls. I ordered some Nigiri. I had blue fin tuna, mackerel, and clam. Blue fin is good. No wasabi on the sushi. Mackerel tasted old and again, no wasabi. Clam is huge and tasted fine but no wasabi. I then ordered eel and flying fish roe. Eel was fine but tasted like it was artificially heated, like from a microwave. Good sauce on top. The roe is ok. Now I know what you're thinking. Just use the wasabi they give you. I did, and it had no heat. I want wasabi that has pain delivering heat. It's what I expect from horseradish. I spent $44 on sub par sushi. I'm not happy and I don't really understand the great reviews. read more

Fantastic sushi! Fresh, quality, friendly servers. I would say the only complaint is when they got busy, (which they did) the 2 sushi guys trying to keep up with all the orders really couldn't keep up. So the wait for orders really slowed down. I guess the lesson here would be go early on the weekends. Food was really really great and worth it! read more

Hana Sushi is my go-to sushi place when I don't want to drive in to Seattle. The nigiri sushi is incredible, with generous pieces of extremely fresh and perfectly sliced fish. My favorites include the bluefin tuna, salmon, hamachi, and unagi. The scallop is fine, but not as spectacular as the fish. The vegetable tempura is another highlight. The rolls at Hana Sushi are totally fine, but not as amazing as the nigiri. They are decent sized, but not large, and not particularly interesting or inventive. Still, they are tasty with high quality fish. I'm a fan of the Bothell and Hana rolls. The restaurant is small, although there isn't usually too much of a wait - especially if you go early. Service is friendly and attentive. Prices are not cheap, but pretty reasonable for sushi of this quality. Right now there is construction on Main St in Bothell, but there is easy access to the restaurant (through the back entrance) and plenty of free, convenient parking if you come down NE 183rd St. read more

Valentines date with my daughter. We ordered food at first they gave us incorrect order, the waitress caught it and told the Chef. The second time it came with a bug crawling in the garnish. My daughter saw it. They redid the order. We ended up waiting a long time for our food. My daughter was frustrated as most of everybody who came after us got their food. They did say they were sorry. Even after all the inconveniences like incorrect order, bug in the food, long delay to get the food, they didn't even offer us a discount on the food. I didn't ask for a discount either. I will just not go there anymore due to lack of customer service. read more

My sister had never tried sushi before so I wanted to take her to authentic restaurant rather than a grocery store section. The service was speedy and delightful. We got our order and food within 15mins of arriving and the server came by twice to fill our waters. We got a sample platter so that my sister could try several options and all of them were extremely delectable. I will definitely be coming back when I need my sushi fix. read more

Excellent sushi in my opinion. I am a big sushi eater and have to try new restaurants whenever I go. Hana Sushi is good stuff! The restaurant is small but each time I have gone I have never had to wait more than 5 minutes or so. The staff are all friendly and do a great job of ensuring you like your food. The sushi itself is incredible! The portion sizes for the Sashimi and Nigiri are all great. I would even say the quantity surpasses the price. Good prices and very reasonable portion sizes. A place to try out! read more

Good sushi, great prices, friendly staff! Love the renovation. Order at the table via computer screen and sushi delivered down an electric monorail. Very hygienic. Miso ramen is tasty and we always get an order of tempura! read more

Sushi for all!!! This is it - try it, you won't be disappointed. It can get busy, so if you're in a hurry or with a group, call ahead.

Great service great food. Consistency has been true for 15 years now I recommend Hana for good sushi

Reasonable prices, but I guess the food could be better. Everything i've ordered here has just been okay.

Food was very good. The salmon was especially good. It was so tender - delicious. I didn't stray from the standards at all but I look forward to trying some of their exclusive recipes. A little on the expensive side which is why 4 stars and not 5. But I'll absolutely return. read more

Very good local sushi restaurant. Parking in the back makes it easy to access. Enjoyed some of their specialty rolls and sashimi. Would highly recommend. read more

I've lived in many states, and tried sushi and Japanese restaurants wherever I go. Hana Sushi is one of my Favorite ever. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, very clean, and the people are very nice. The owners are a couple that have been doing this for longer than I've been around lol. The quality of their sushi and menu really shows in their food presentation, ingredients, and taste. I always recommend it to people if they're visiting the Bothell area :) Parking is a bit tough sometimes but I've always found a spot. Oh and try happy hour- good deals. read more

There are a variety of misleading things you will notice about this listing. For starters? Not 2 $$; it absolutely 30+ bucks a head. Secondly, the place itself is quite tasty. Everything is fresh. They cut huge chunks of fish. Good quality, reasonable service, good rice. I genuinely liked it. The tea needed work, but hey, you can't win em all, right? Then the bill comes and its 70 something for dinner for two. You gotta be kidding me. We can spend half that at the little sushi joint by Albertson's for just as good of sushi. No idea how they get away with these prices. If you'll excuse me, I have to go squeeze blood from a stone now. read more

I give Hana four stars based on non-sushi items alone (I don't do sushi). I really like their tempura, in particular, because it's not too oily or heavy. Also, I thought their miso was perfect, I could have had three servings! I got a bento box, and I thought the Teriyaki was yummy, but not the very best I'd had. Still though, with the way I crave Japanese food, (which is voracious mind you), this place completely satiated my growling belly and we will continue to visit. Totemo Oishii! Gochisosama! read more

Excellent sushi! And warm service. The sushi was fresh and rolls petit like they should be :) they had brown rice too. I had the spicy yellowtail, spicy salmon and Cali rolls. All very good - esp the yellowtail! read more

Want to know what I love most about Hana Sushi? (Besides the fact that it's within walking distance of where I live...) The rice. You are hard pressed to find good sushi rice in Seattle, which is a crime because there are so many good sushi places. It's just that the rice is usually...meh. Kinda sweet. Kinda seasoned. Sometimes crunchy. Sometimes too sticky. Meh. Hana got it right, or as close to right as I've found in my extensive sushi experiences - the rice is lightly acidic and just a touch sweet. Perfect. That aside, the atmosphere is hole-in-the-wall mom-and-pop shop (a customer left after telling the sushi chefs "see ya next week", so there's a fair share of regulars - this is also noted by the number of personalized sake cups you'll find behind the sushi bar), the miso soup will burn your tongue, the service is friendly, they are kid/family friendly, and the fish is amazing. They opt to add a bit of grated fresh ginger to the top of their albacore, which is good but not the best thing ever - Kanpai is still winning for the use of smoked salt. As Danny K mentioned, you're not going to get overly-sauced rolls. The rolls are simple and to-the-point and that's what matters. Good times. Also, ate there with one person and got three rolls (one of which was a cucumber roll) and two types of nigiri as well as two non-alcoholic beverages and came out at about thirty bucks. I'm sure it's easy to go way over that, but I want it to be known that if you're after a quick, tasty, fresh bite, you don't necessarily need to expect to pay a ton as several have mentioned. read more

Hana is great if you don't want a bunch of foofy rolls with cream cheese or strawberries or something totally non-sushi such as that. On the other hand, they don't usually have what might be called "exotic" or "unusual" items, such as goeduck or abalone. They pretty much cater to the crowd that's right down the center of the road. Their tempura is awesome, especially in the fall when they do a little yam and pumpkin in the mix. Tempura pumpkin is like dessert it's so good! Sushi chefs Sato-san and Hobin-san are really great to sit at the bar and chat with, especially if you share a little of your beer with them. You get to learn things like Hobin loves to gamble in Vegas and Sato loves bourbon. It's usually not so slammed that you actually get the interactive experience of chatting with the sushi chef, something I really miss in the overcrowded city restaurants where sometimes you don't even get to order directly from the chef...which to me is the whole point of sitting at the bar in the first place. You're always greeted with a warm towel, a cup of tea and a smile. Sushi shouldn't be "cheap". You should get a good ratio of fish to rice for your money, and here that's definitely the case. I gave it 3 $$$ because it's true. If you have a large Kirin at $8, a Dragon Roll at $14.50 (which is huge), and a couple pieces of Hamachi for $5.50, you're over the $30 range once you add tax and tip. I don't know many places I can get that much quality food and basically 2 beers for under 30 bucks. I compared exactly those items on a few other sushi restaurant's menus and crossed over the $30 mark as well, so I think the prices at Hana are comparable. read more

The first time that I went to this restaurant, my husband and I were greeted and chose to sit at the bar. The chefs behind the bar are very friendly, are happy to take orders directly, and seem to genuinely love what they do. Miso Soup came complimentary with our sushi orders, and the food was fantastic. When we had finished our meal, the chef behind the bar asked us if this was our first time at the restaurant, and we answered "yes." He then placed an order for complimentary mochi ice cream for us for dessert. I was just astounded by how amazing the staff was, and how kind they were. We will definitely be going to this place many times! read more

Something bothers me about this place... I think it's the fact that there's fish tank build into the sushi bar. It just seems strange. That said, the sushi here is excellent, and I love their tempura, but I really feel that it's way overpriced. The people are friendly, and the service is good. The decor isn't too bad as well, but the price is a real deal breaker for me. Maybe if they had specials, or more combination offers? read more

Yummy-yummy with super fast friendly service. My brother is a total regular here (which might explain why the waitress was so chatty she actually sat down with us for a few minutes) and I would be too if I didn't live 800 miles away! The little place was packed on a Wednesday night yet we still got tea and miso soup within moments of sitting down, order taken a couple minutes later, and served about ten minutes after that. Still we didn't feel rushed - even when we chatted over free tea refills for about an hour after they cleared our food. The sushi was top notch (especially the avocado asparagus tempura roll, omg!) but the edamame was a little limp. read more

I'm not gonna bother sounding impartial with my review. This is my favorite sushi place in the area, bar none. It's so good: - I go at least once often twice per week for lunch. - Anytime I take anyone to eat there, it becomes their favorite. - Haubin, the owner has had this place about two decades, before sushi is this popular. - Everytime I walk away from the table, I feel like I ate something nourishing, coz I did! - My buddy and I always wager paying for dinner here anytime we make a bet. - Deluxe sushi combo is the way to go. Such great value! It's very good. Period. read more

Hana Sushi - Deluxe sushi combo + ikura - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bothell, Washington

A solid sushi place. Reasonable prices, good quality, friendly and attentive service. Parking is available in a lot behind the restaurant. We ordered the spicy tuna, spicy yellow tail, california, Bothell, and Crunchy rolls. Most of the rolls have the Masago fish eggs (which is unusual for it to be predominant), so if you're not a fan you will to ask for it without. The meal came with complimentary miso soups. We'd likely come again when visiting the area. read more

We're very lucky to have this place in Bothell! It's one of the hidden treasures in a little town that (let's be honest) is hurting for a few more good restaurants! The waitress was incredibly friendly. She left us alone to eat our food in peace, but was incredibly attentive when she needed to be. Although I would be interested to see if the same applies for a busy night. The sushi was excellent! I would definitely recommend this place to someone who likes good sushi, as well as to someone new to the world of sushi! You won't be disappointed! read more

Ive been into Hana many times over the last couple of months. One time I had a huge group dinner and they were very accommodating to the 16 people that showed up. They sat up stares and were very good at getting everyone's food out in a timely manner with a smile. Im sure that wasn't the most fun thing for the wait staff. Ive always had fantastic service here and the sushi is pretty tasty. It pretty average sushi fare, though sometimes I think the prices at Aoki down the street are more reasonable, I like the rolls here better. read more

Hana is one of my favorite spots to meet my girlfriends for lunch! I always manage to burn all of my tastebuds off eating the Miso soup, apparently patience is a virtue. Each time we go we order the Main Street Roll, the Bothell Roll, some Spicy Tuna and a roll named for one of their employees, just can't remember the name! Each time the sushi has been very fresh and delicious. I'd consider Hana to be the areas #2 spot (Momoya is #1), definitely the best in Bothell I would say. The prices are a tad high, but the food has always been worth it. read more

The staff is very friendly and enjoyed my experience; however, I was not particularly impressed with the sushi. Moreover, the menu options were limited. The interior to this restaurant was quaint and had the ambience for causal fine dining. I just don't know if it is really worth the cost. read more

Fresh simple sushi! Friendly staff and really fresh sushi. Been coming here for years and they are very consistent. The bentos are good, salmon sashimi is always fresh and rolls are simple and delicious. If you're looking for those sushi places that puts tons of sweet teriyaki like sauce all over their rolls, this isn't the place for you. read more

I went here primarily because Kelsey F. started talking about the sushi rice. I am glad to say that she is 100% correct. This is fabulous rice, often times people just use regular rice for their sushi. I love it. The other thing I love is their tempura. Too many times I have been bitten by this greasy, doughy mess hiding the wonderful vegetables. I tend to prefer recipes that use panko, while Hana does not use panko they do vary the texture of the batter so that it is very light and airy. I did have the Chirashi, something I have been wanting to try since moving to Bothell a few weeks ago. It was a good mix of different fish and some octopus. The salmon was especially delicious. Not to mention the real crab in the California roll...none of that imitation stuff here. Hana Sushi is a definite repeat for us. read more

This is my favorite place to go for sushi. It's the only place where I have ordered sushi to go and it has tasted like I'm eating it at a restaurant. It is so fresh. read more

Awesome sushi. Owner was there at the sushi bar, making sushi. Fresh fish. Will come back

I love this place. The sushi is VERY fresh and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. I like the fact that when I go there are actually Japanese men, who know what they're doing, making my sushi. I'm pretty sure at least one of the men is an owner. The quality of the fish is superior....even in something as simple as a maki tuna roll. We got the deluxe sushi sampler which is 8 pieces of nigiri and a tuna roll. They gave us a toro nigiri piece with our order!! Unheard of for a 20$ plate of sushi! The dragon roll was delicious and unlike a lot of sushi places, they use REAL crab...also unheard of for sushi at this price point. I love supporting local businesses and when you get quality food and service like you do at Hana it makes it easy to do. Don't let the construction the city of Bothell has been doing for more than a year on Main Street deter you. There is a back entrance and convenient parking lot behind Hana Sushi. This place is great. read more

It's hard to get a "food coma" from sushi, but with enough saki it can be done. My sister is an avid sushi eater, I'm an ametuer, and my mother is somewhere in between. Hana Sushi catered to each of our varying preferences with speed and a smile, and it was worth the cost (which was considerable, since we ordered everything a la cart - they do have combos, though). The only negative thing about Hana Sushi is that it's small, and I had hoped for more privacy as my family celebrated my mom's birthday. I realized quickly, though, that even though we were close to other free-standing tables it still *felt* private. The just-at-the-right-moments service made up for any possible lack, anyway. I'll definitely travel back to Bothell to meat my eastside friends for sushi, tempura, and dessert. (Mango ice cream, yum!) Oh, and the saki, of course. read more

Hana is your average sushi restaurant with extra human touch. Sushi, good, sashimi, nigiri, good, fried food, not so good. Hamachi Kama (and Salmon Kama), very good! Price, hmmm, I wish it was a bit less. It is something my husband and I look forward to for date night. Love sitting by the sushi bar and chat with the chefs. It's not a place I will drive more than 5 miles to, but it's my #1 choice in the little Downtown Bothell. read more
