This was the second time I had been here with my DIL. She found this place and sushi is one of our fave things to eat together. The interior is charming and the service is impressive. But the sushi? EPIC!! This is now our fave place to eat! read more

Food and sushi was very good, comparable to west coast sushi. Service was good, however, they tried to add an auto gratuity to our bill for a "large party." There were only 4 of us and a child. That rubbed me the wrong way. But they did end up removing it. Restaurant was very clean and quaint. read more

Hanaki Sushi - Peppered Tuna - Japanese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

We always have family sushi night. Over the years our family has grown. Our kids still come from out of town to have sushi here. They are awesome. read more

It's been nearly 10 years since I was last here. My friend and I were in the area and decided to put down some sushi. It's small, but intimate and for a Tuesday evening getting a table was not an issue. The service was great. The food was great. The seafood was fresh, and we were excited for the whole grilled squid. Not too many places have a whole squid around here. We went kind of crazy and got the love boat to share and some extra rolls on the side. The server was very attentive and even gave use a free dessert at the end of our meal! So nice! Will definitely come back again sooner then 10 years -Promise. read more

I really gotta bump up my rating of Hanaki to a 5 star! Since we've moved to the area, it's become our go-to place for sushi since it's so close. It's not just the convenience that keeps us going back though. I am super impressed with how they are consistent through and through, whether we have dined in or made an order for takeout. The staff and sushi chefs are always nice and kind, very attentive and very prompt with all requests. They are always nice to our kids and bring the "kiddie" chopsticks for our youngest (still in training LOL). For the food, everything is always prepared with care and always fresh. My faves on the menu are yellowtail jalapeno, Hanaki platter, Sushi Deluxe, it just really depends what I am in the mood for. Their hot kitchen items are always great too. We've had everything from chicken, to beef, to shrimp and salmon. Most meals come with soup, salad and rice so the meals are always filling! It's a small restaurant, so we usually eat at the bar, but most of the time, we take it to go! So glad to have them so close! Stay safe, Friends! read more

Hanaki Sushi - Zebra Roll, Long Beach - Japanese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

I ran through every 4-letter word in the book when Ang's Sushi in Greenbrier changed hands and went to AYCE. They were the highest quality, best service, top notch sushi bar in the area. We have looked for probably 2 years now for a good replacement sushi joint. Hanaki, so far, is a top runner. At the recommendation of friends, we used a recent date night to check out Hanaki. It is located in a strip shopping center near Harris Teeter next to a pilates studio. The sign is small and nondescript, so you'll miss it if you aren't looking carefully. We were seated at a table next to a boisterous couple and were able to move to another table near the doors. I will say the seating is a bit cramped given the layout. The tables flanking the entryway don't have much room so you will be able to hear every conversation next to you. I'd recommend they space things out, but I can see why so many tables - they were all full. We've been twice in 2 weeks and favorites so far were the Triple Fancy Maki (a great value which comes with miso soup and salad), Hanbury and Boston Rolls. Our daughter loved the chicken teriyaki and shrimp skewers. The Shumai was a slight disappointment as it was not hot when it arrived. The Blue Hawaiian was good, but needed a slightly thicker slice of mango and kiwi as neither had much flavor to bring to the party. Ang's Volcano roll still hasn't been bested - the one at Hanaki seemed slightly overfried. Hubby enjoyed a hot saki on our recent visit and I liked the Riesling. Service was good on both visits and, when busy, they definitely tag-team tables to make sure you have everything you need. Overall, two very good experiences and we are sure to return! read more

On the recommendation of a friend who goes here regularly...YUM! We all had cucumber salad...super fresh and super huge portion. Definitely enough to split! Yellowtail Tartare was not what I expected but absolutely delightful. We also had the Hallloween roll, the Fire Dragon Roll and the seared tuna dinner. All were wonderful. Having eaten sushi all over the country in my travels, this place was definitely one of the best, and very reasonably priced as well. It doesn't look like much from the outside but beautiful and cozy on the inside. Hope to be back in the area! read more

Ive been a loyal customer for 10+ years! The quality and service have never faltered. They have the best sushi around hands down. I personally love any of the spicy rolls and the superstar roll! Restaurant is always spotless and even though there's only a few tables it's worth waiting or getting food to go. Don't miss out on this local gem! read more

This is my go to place for sushi! The staff are super friendly and the food comes out so fast. Great place for a date or a family meal.

I've been here a couple times now. Always busy and pleasant. I have ordered their grilled salmon teriyaki lunch box special. It comes with soup, salad, 2 pieces of gyoza, 3 pieces of California roll, white rice, and some fruit (usually oranges). So overall not a bad lunch. Especially for $12. The salmon portion was a nice size. However, the salad dressing is more like a mix of yum yum sauce and ranch, and you only can get California roll. They ask you if you want white or fried rice like it's an interchangeable option, but be aware fried rice is $2 extra. Additionally, my 2nd visit, I noticed I received shumai rather than the gyoza I was expecting (and is written as such on the menu). I was told it was chef's choice?? That wasn't what was written or told to me when I ordered. I have a sense it was what they had and ran out of gyoza but passed it off suddenly that it was chef choice when I asked. I much prefer gyoza over shumai and felt they should have just been up front and said they ran out of gyoza. I had ordered the same bento box lunch before and it came with gyoza then. Lastly, both times, they never served the bento boxes with wasabi and ginger. I had to ask for wasabi the first time and they gave me a huge amount that was too much. I didn't bother to ask the 2nd time because of this. It seemed wasteful the first time. I thought it was a fluke to be missing these essential items in a bento box, but now that it happened again, I'm starting to think this is the norm for them. But I've never ordered a bento box that comes with sushi and wasn't served with wasabi and ginger. I'm actually shocked that no other reviews have noted this glaring omission in their lunch bentos. I see a photo where there is ginger but don't see wasabi. Others are like mine. It seems inconsistent. One review is from over 5 years ago and it seems to have wasabi and ginger. I didn't even know this place has been here that long. But there's no consistency over the years of including these condiments. So odd. I know it's just 3 pieces of California roll, but I need my wasabi and ginger. Will see if this changes in subsequent visits. This is one of the few places that offer beef negimaki appetizer. At $11 though, I haven't tried it yet. I have not eaten dinner here, but their teriyaki salmon is $22, which is $3 more than another place I had it, so unless it's a really good sized portion, it seems pricey in comparison. I read how some reviews noted they don't appear very friendly, and I feel it's not that they're rude, but they seem indifferent. The male waiters seem to be a tad more personable. Overall, I think the lunch is a great value for what you get. The little issues are somewhat minor. It's hard finding one place that hits all the check boxes. Sometimes you accept the minuses for the other pluses. I recommend this place for a good and inexpensive lunch. read more

I loved the menu options, sushi portions, and the service. We ordered 5 rolls and 2 appetizers, they were all on our table within 10 minutes of ordering. Presentation and taste were spot on. I hope to come back! read more

We recently moved to VA from So. CA and temporarily stayed in Chesapeake. We loved everything about Hanaki.. great atmosphere, with excellent food and service. We are now in VA Beach and can't find anything as good as Hanaki. We will drive over to Chesapeake for Hanaki anytime we want Japanese/ sushi. It's the best. read more

The food here was horrible! We ordered a few different items including the teriyaki steak, sushi, fried rice and soba noodles and everything was awful! The steak was burnt and bland, the rice was bland, sushi was not right, wrong consistency and did not have good flavor and the soba noodles lacked flavor! The salad dressing tasted like thousand island instead of ginger! The wait staff was not friendly and seemed more annoyed by our presence than hospitable. Definitely not a place we will come back to. read more

Still my favorite sushi in Hampton Roads! Always fresh and fast! Nice seaweed salad, too.

First visit here for Mother's Day weekend. Both my son and I ordered the dinner boxes - which are very similar to a lunch bento box. The portions were large, and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back! read more

Not the same as it used to be! They prepare vegetables fried rice with sticky and half cooked sushi rice, the broccoli is half yellow half bright green (going bad), no taste. The tuna cocktail barely had any seaweed or special sauce, just chunks of tuna in various sizes in a small bowl. Our drinks were not refilled for a full 45 minutes, and the server forgot our miso soup, and yet we were charged. Just not the quality in either food or service. read more

Hanaki sushi is our go to place for sushi on this side of the water. Great sushi, good service, reasonably price, and food always comes out super quick.

So I'm not a die-hard Sushi person but when I do go, I'm kinda picky. Went out here b/c the people we wanted to go with said they love this place. Must admit, out of all the Sushi places we've been, this has been my absolute favorite. They took it back to service with warm wash cloths for that 'pre-eating' refreshing feel. Its been a long time since I'd been somewhere that offered that service. You can tell that this place hasn't been so 'Americanized' such that the service is single threaded. This place reminds me of some of my foreign travels where they are working hard to make sure that the customer is always satisfied and been given the best experience possible. Everything from refilled waters, authentic cuisine, and happy service, it's just awesome. The chef's in the back were working fervently on all their rolls and that alone was a sight to behold. The passion behind their work showed in the plates we received. The way the rolls were laid out on our plate was gorgeous. I can't emphasize this enough. This place is all about the detail. Will it cost a little more? Yes.. yes it will. However, if you're looking for good food, great service, and a quality experience overall, go here. It's a great date place and just does not disappoint. I can't wait to go back. I just wish you were closer to me! It's about a 40 minute drive to go here... however, I wouldn't hesitate to come back. =) Food taste - 5 Overall Service - 5 Value of food to cost - 5 Facility - 5 Repeat customer? - yes Dog friendly? - no read more

The sushi and staff were amazing! I stopped by for a lunch meeting and we kept eating and eating and eating! The sushi was very good. Hawaii's roll, spicy salmon and tuna, and the list goes on. I don't think you could order one you wouldn't like here! The staff was very friendly and stopped by multiple times to check on us. The dining area and bathroom was clean. Great all around experience. I would recommend you check this place out. Def be back! read more

Great food great service! Staff is very friendly and this is one of those restaurants where all waitresses help each other, for example your glass gets low any waitresses walking by that notices will refill it. I've ordered tons of sushi flavors, my favorite being the Halloween roll. I've order the steak when I wasn't feeling sushi before and that was so tender and delicious! Big fan of Hanaki! read more

I actually like it here more than 3 stars. The sushi was fresh and the staff was polite and attentive. A small sushi restaurant in a busy strip mall off of Hanbury Road. The only reason they received 3 stars instead of 4 is because they were very very skimpy with their salmon in the spicy salmon roll... maybe they were running low on fresh salmon? The other roll I ordered was a spicy tuna and there was plenty of tuna in the roll, so I cannot assume they were skimpy as a general rule. But there was just SO much of the crispy panko, it was really off-putting. I may give this restaurant another chance and will let you know how that goes. read more

Hanaki Sushi - Shrimp tempura roll, California roll - Japanese Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

The best sushi in the Virginia Beach/Chesapeake area. My son and I stopped in here while running errands and new we had found a gem. We brought the rest of the family back and our rave reviews held up. The Super Star roll is warm and delicious, the Zebra roll is a favorite. The various fish with an asparagus snap and the perfect side sauce. The seafood fried rice is a large portion and you can see they use whole shrimp, scallops and lots of crab. Highly recommend Hanaki. Vincent, the owner, sets the bar high and keeps it there every time we go. read more
