    Sashimi bento
    Eileen B.

    From the outside, it doesn't look like much. But as soon as you walk in, it's like you've been transported to a Japanese tea garden. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. We sat at a table with curtains and a pergola above us. You would think by all this, the food was going to be amazing... unfortunately not... I was disappointed, especially because so many people here raved about it. The service was a bit slow. But we found out later, the waitress was the only one working that evening. Lots of tables to manage for just 1 person! We ordered a few items: tuna tataki, sashimi bento, rainbow roll, negitoro maki, rainbow roll, and the Red Devil Roll. Tuna tataki should be lightly seared... ours was almost cooked all the way. I found the sashimi bento to be different than most bento boxes I've seen... I liked it! The rainbow roll was ok... there was green apple in it, which I've never had before. It was a little sweet, salty, and crunchy. Not bad. I wish there was more toro in the negitoro roll. I normally stick to fish for my rolls, but decided to go with the kalbi in the Red Devil Roll. The meat was tasty but I felt there was too much sauce that drowned the roll. I thought it would be spicier with the jalapeños and sriracha, but it wasn't. Also, another thing... the wasabi was very weak. I always put some on my rolls... I pasted it on my rolls just to get some sort of reaction, and there was none. Not sure what happened there. Overall the food was just ok. When I was hearing orders from tables around me, they were mainly getting hot foods. Maybe I will try that next time. We'll see.

    Wicked awesome sushi from Hanabi's "Devil's Kiss" So good, and a great bitta heat.

    This place is amazing. I'm late writing this review as I haven't eaten here in awhile, but I felt compelled by the lingering memories of how great the food here was to write one today. I've eaten here half a dozen times now and the sushi has always been delicious and with great presentation. If your craving good sushi, then this is your spot.

    Nigiri sushi at its finest!

    This is as close to authentic sushi as it's made in Japan. Having spent 16 months living in Japan, I can strongly recommend the excellence of Hanabi. Helpful servers, great decor, comfortable dining experience. The Dragon roll, Age Tofu and Nigiri were all incredibly delicious. Fresh, generous, carefully prepared to perfection!

    Disclaimer up front that I'm from California, so I may be somewhat of a fish snob. I actually wouldn't have minded the fish, but on the Rainbow Roll the typical unagi sauce wasnt present, and frankly the sauce ruined what was an ok roll. We also ordered rice entrees to go. The miso soup isnt included when you order to go. We got beef, salmon and the fried pork. All the meats were just ok. The salad was decent. The salmon order had a side of stir fried veggies that was too salty. Prices were also a little high for my tastes, but given the area and how landlocked the Japanese restaurants are, its forgiveable.

    Edemame. Miso soup. Great starter size and price.

    We go here about once a week. By far the best sushi around, and great service! My personal favs are the Phoenix and Vampire rolls.

    I've been there three times now. They are very nice. Nanna is the BEST! We love her. They always…read moretreat us really well. My wife's dad had been going there for many years and they have always been really nice to him. He always gets the bento box and loves it. I took a friend there on Jan 2 and he loved it too. I usually just get a ton of 2-pc sushi. It's always so tastey, like butta, just melts in your mouth. The prices are also very reasonable.

    Authentic Japanese food. My go to for the best Japanese food in town. Large menu has everything you…read morewant from classic Japanese dishes with some modern fusion dishes as well. Best beef tataki I've had anywhere in the world thus far. I can't believe I haven't reviewed my favourite asian restaurant. I have been going here for more than 20 years, from when it was a mom and pop business run by a family...to being renovated and modernized by the kids of the original owners. It was the first location before they opened up other locations...and it is by far my favourite. I go here for the classic dishes that never fail. Tempura, beef tataki, age dashi tofu, sashimi and rolls galore. Everything is always top notch quality and consistently delicious. I have never had a bad tasting meal. The place is busy and it reflects that. Sometimes you need reservations on peak hours during dinner rush or weekends. But I never really have an issue getting a table if I don't. Get the beef tataki here. It's the best dish I've had and for me this is my classic must order when I come here. Sometimes I order 2 of them bc it's so good and I can't share it with someone else! The rolls always have a good ratio of rice and fish, with no yucky fillers like tempura crumbs, fruits and are never drenched in sauce. Every dish let's the fish shine as the main event and that's what good Japanese food is all about! Go here and you won't be disappointed!

    So this review is a bit late but thought I should still write it as my Dad (who only ever really…read moreenjoys eating steak and potatoes or sometimes a pizza) thought this was a good enough restaurant to return to. So what made it that great that my dad would give it such a high review? First, if you've never seen an advertisement for this place, prepare yourself for ongoing talking and some well rehearsed comedy from the chefs. There literally is a live cooking show being done with your meals right in front of you. This combination of humour and meal prep was a big hit for my family (the 5 of us were constantly commenting on how things were being cooked, what was new to us and encouraging the ongoing trials of the fork toss plus the salt and pepper tossing trick by the chef). Second, it might be a Japanese place but they have steak! You may have guessed with my intro but that was an important decision factor in choosing a restaurant. We wanted a different place for the early Christmas family gathering but something everyone could enjoy. Third, they're very diligent about respecting allergies. My sister-in-law gets very ill with her allergies. So it's nice not having to worry. They set her food specifically on one area of the grill and no other food was ever placed there. Hers was never combined with the rest of ours either. They also had a different soup for her to enjoy and did a vinaigrette on her salad instead of the house dressing. The food itself is a decent price for a fine dining experience and what you get with the dinner. There's soup, salad, grilled shrimp, grilled veggies and whatever you choose as your main. All with great flavour and you get two different dipping sauces - one being better for meat and other with vegetables. Obviously if you select the options of more seafood to accompany the main piece of the meal, the price is more expensive. We all kept it pretty simple. Two with shrimp dinners, two with New York steaks and one with teriyaki beef. We were all quite happy with our portions and if you feel you need extra rice, they will bring more out. If you have saved a bit of room, there's lots of dessert options too but that comes with an additional price. I really was quite happy with that large selection of mocktails to try but for those that want it, there's a large selection of mixed alcoholic drinks, wine, beer, etc. The place is accessible from the outside doors to the grill tables and even though my brother struggles to see in dim lighting, there's enough random lighting that we found a well lit spot at the table for him. I liked that I didn't have to watch for random levels or steps. There are a few booths throughout the restaurant for those that maybe want a more secluded meal but there's no grills for those spots. So after such a glowing review, why am I only giving it 4 stars? Well as I had booked ahead of time and specifically gave a number of 5 people for the reservation, it would have been nice to know we would not have anything started to be cooked, nor our meal order taken until they fill the rest of the table around the grill. If I had that information, I could have easily invited a couple of friends to join. However as this came to us as surprise, it meant even though we didn't know who was joining us, we were forced to awkwardly wait over 15 min to have them arrive and then start giving our order when they were ready. At least some of the drinks had made it out by then but the place was starting to fill up so the noise level was increasing. Luckily for us my mom randomly know the couple that was sat at our grill table but there were parts of the dinner you could tell they would have enjoyed having their own time as a couple (as I'm quite sure they weren't informed they'd be part of a bigger table being that they were surprised that my mom thanked them for arriving on time so we can now order when they are ready). It would have also been a different experience for my family too without the combined table situation. I had to remind the chef who's steak was being prepared due to the over eager guy wanting a well done steak the same time as a medium rare... Things eventually got served to everyone but only because I spoke up, I was able to get near to what I had requested (glad that my dad at least got his medium rare) even though everyone had reconfirmed orders when the chef was placing the meat on the grill. Lastly, the noise in the restaurant was so high at the end of our meal that not only did my dad stop trying to have a conversation but so did the rest of us. So instead of savouring dessert, I ate it quickly as all I wanted was to pay the bill fast and just leave the noise. I've gone once before on a week night back in April and it was more manageable for noise level. This being due to not all grills were full nor was the restaurant as full.

    My friend was celebrating her 50th birthday and her husband chose Japanese Village in Sherwood…read morePark. I didn't even know Sherwood Park has a Japanese Village and I hadn't been to one in about 15 years. We had 14 in our group but this wasn't an issue as we were all able to all sit around two grills with two grill cooks. Our server did a great job of taking our drink orders, filling up our water glasses and making sure we were happy. I personally started with a pint of their house beer and the Tuna Sashimi. Both were tasty. For my main course I had Teppan - Yaki Dinner (Teriyaki Chicken) It came with soup, salad and green tea. Our grill cook was a nice young man who brought a smile to our face and kept us chuckling. For the value, I was happy with my meal, the price I payed and the fun interacting with our cook. I would definitely go back with a group of friends.
