First time ordering from Hanako and it was AMAZING! We ordered the shrimp hibachi, chicken hibachi, and the Kani tempura roll! The lady that took our order was so sweet! The service and food were beyond what we expected for a pickup order, in the best way possible. Will definitely be back! read more

My family and I ate at Hanako last night, and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience. We ordered miso and hot soups along with several rolls: spicy salmon, spicy tuna, volcano, dragon, and the Hanako roll. Everything tasted fresh and delicious. Even though the restaurant was short-staffed, our food arrived on time, and the staff remained attentive. The bathrooms were also very clean, which I appreciate. The only drawback for me was that the lighting was a little dim. Overall, Hanako serves the best sushi in the Indian Land area. When I'm craving sushi locally, this is my go-to spot! read more

The food is top tier and the atmosphere is so relaxing it's a great place to come with the family and enjoy a meal The teriyaki chicken was so good And the sushi was to die for it was so good 100/10 would eat again read more

Let me just say that I did not actually eat physically at the restaurant, and what I'm saying is based entirely on the food and nothing else. I did not take pictures because I do not believe that pictures of food that has been delivered via app, fully represents the restaurant. But I will say that I was not a fan of the sushi AT ALL!! I had the spicy tuna roll, the volcano roll and the hot and sour soup. The fish was dry, mostly flavorless even with soy sauce, and did not taste fresh which is the crux of sushi in my opinion. The ginger was fine, the rice was fine. The best thing was the hot and sour soup. A lot of flavor, lots of mushrooms. It was good! But when I go to a "sushi" restaurant, I expect the sushi to be the stand-out and it just wasn't here. I wish I had better things to say but I just don't. Unfortunately, I wouldn't even go back here for the soup. read more

I hate to have to post photos and rate any business low publicly, but I feel people should know what they are getting with this restaurant. Placed an order over the phone for lunch because the online ordering wouldn't allow this before 1:37pm for some reason. Received the order for pick up and tried my egg roll sitting in the car. There was a hair sticking out of the roll after 2 bites. I let them know and the lady was very apologetic. She offered another roll. Of course the next roll could also have a hair in it! I accepted a miso soup as substitute. Ate some of the take out the next day and I'm pretty sure I see an eyelash on my plate. I wasn't expecting some gourmet food here, as we all know what to usually expect with cheap Chinese. But they clearly don't wear hair nets here and this is unacceptable at this point. Just avoid and drive a few mins down the road for something else. read more

Hanako - Second hair. I would love my $30 back. - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

I'm giving this place two stars because the food is actually decent, but the service is pretty terrible unless it's completely dead there. The woman who serves people more than likely the owner, has never had any waivers staff so when the place gets busy, it's impossible almost to get your food, I have been going there for 10 years approximately. today is the first time I felt inclined to leave a review because my wife and I went there and we sat down. The lady was nowhere to be found. A man brought out drinks and walked away, and did not return for 20 minutes not even with some fried noodles or something to hold us over. We left five dollars as a courtesy to cover the tea that I had but unfortunately we will not be back. if I am paying to eat out I want consistency. If I'm tipping you well I want you to remember what I had to drink etc. etc. they need to hire at least one person for wait staff. read more

I stopped in for pickup but ordered through an app. The service at Hanako is fantastic. They offered me something to drink while I waited and had me take a seat. Joe is so friendly and chatted with for a minute. I had to wait because I decided to add to my order, but my food was ready when I got there. They have a large menu. It's Asian fusion since they have Chinese, and Japanese dishes. Lots of vegetarian options. I had the Age tofu which is one of my favorite dishes. It was soooo good. I was concerned about traveling home with it, but it was in great shape when I got home. The packed the sauce separately. I also had the vegetable and tofu stir fry with just broccoli. It was fresh and delicious. They do take out, eat in and they also deliver for a minimum of $18. They are located right near Lowers on Charlotte Hwy in the same shopping center with Showmars and Bojangles. I am so happy that they are so close to my house. I will definitely be back. read more

I want to give these guys a good review. Because I've always been skeptical to eat here because of the meh rating. I finally ate here tonight (after Prime Fish The new sushi spot nearby had a 2.5 hour wait on takeout and Akahana in fort mill had me on hold for 15 minutes before I could even place an order). So in my impatience, I decided to try Hanako which is closer to me anyway. And to my surprise it was actually quite good. I've gotten a California roll from here before but that's it. I enjoyed it- but it's a Cali roll. Not rocket science lol. So tonight I got the Phoenix roll (my favorite), an a few basic rolls- shrimp tempura which actually had 2 rolls of shrimp inside versus 1 i get everywhere else so I really appreciated that. And I got a philly roll. 3 rolls for $20 that hit the spot...would totally come back. Big nice sized rolls too. I can eat and I'm breastfeeding and I still couldn't finish. I DO recommend this place despite some of these reviews. These guys did a great job for moderately priced sushi!!!! read more

The dining area and service is not great. The egg rolls tasted like something out of the Walmart freezer. Our main courses were actually good though. I had Sesame Chicken and the chicken tasted fresh. Something I don't get from places like Red Bowl. read more

They have a new sushi chef and he is amazing! The outstanding roll is the best roll in the area. The only complaint we have would be the air never seems to be working. But, we sweat through it just for the sushi! They changed thier sushi chef so no longer amazing read more

Have eaten there a few times and found inconsistency with food and service. Went in at lunchtime last week, asked for a menu and whoever was there seemed to be bothered by my request. Recently went there for dinner and now would not go back. Entire Menu has price increase stickers over old prices , some areas blacked out. Saw a dust bin propped behind a booth, not appetizing. My tea cup was chipped. So no attention to detail which can make a big difference in overall dining experience Food was mediocre. My Hanako Delicious : not delicious! broccoli with shrimp, lobster, crab, in a brown sauce. Shrimp was very chewy, broccoli tasted bitter, 3 shrimp, one scallop, imitation crab to my taste, brown sauce was thin and not at all tasty in my opinion, wasn't sure any lobster was even present.. My dining mate said the chicken teriyaki was ok nothing special though. The waitress was very friendly and attentive and food was plated nicely and brought out hot. Overall a dimly lit restaurant, inconsistent food and service . read more

Flavor of the food is amazing, the price is great and staff is super friendly. I usually order the lunch special for 3 people and it's never been over $30. Every time we arrival to pick up our take out, my daughter loves to use the bathroom lol. She loves the decor. read more

This was a neat little find. I do like "hole-in-the-wall" sushi places and this one hit the spot. My friend suggested it (I really need to get him on Yelp!) and so we stopped in here for a late lunch. We both ordered the sashimi special, which comes with the usual salad topped with ginger dressing (does it have to be so cold??) and a bowl of spicy egg drop soup (mushrooms??). But the main course was where it was at. As with so many sushi restaurants, a great presentation. Each piece of fish was individually set in a wooden boat, garnished with crab salad and a carved lemon. You have to look at the picture to see how well this chef did. Price is a little high, but it's totally worth it. read more

This place needs to close! We walked in and no greeting! Pointed to a table! No introduction! Dropped water on the table and walked away. Waited a good 20 min and no return! Walked out! Do not waste you time! If the front of house is that bad, how bad is what you can't see! No thank you! read more

EXCELLENT food and service today.. Can't wait to come back. Thank you for a great experience will definitely recommend and return again and again! read more

Hanako - Hibachi shrimp and beef - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

We have been dining here about once a week . Service has been spotty over the years but the food mainly good. However this week I thought it was sub par. The orange chicken was over breaded and the chicken was not very tasty. Our other order was ok but only 2 and 1/2 scallops in the Hibachi shrimp and scallops . Not returning read more

Kinks to work out in this new sushi bar. The service was slow. Than bringing our orders confused us with another table & than mixed up the orders at our table. The rolls were fresh & pretty reasonably sized. No special roll to distinguish itself or flair to how they were created. Place was humming & was packed. If you need a quick sushi fix, this is your place but call ahead for take out as eat in took us a total of 2.5 hrs to get everything right. read more

It's a small restaurant, but well thought out. There are two private booths near the sushi bar on the side. I think they would be ideal for those more intimate dates, or for people hard of hearing, or for those who get easily distracted. The rest of the seating was either open booths, tables, or the bar. The menu had many delicious looking entrees and very well priced! I got the bento box...and I needed an extra stomach to fit it all in! To start off, my husband and I got the wonton looking "chips" with sweet and sour dip. Then we got salads and soup. My main course was hibachi shrimp, rice, California sushi roll, shumai, and shrimp and veggie tempura. That was just mine... They serve loose leaf tea in cast iron kettles...heavy...you will need two hands to pour. It's a new restaurant and yes, like all restaurants there are kinks to work out. We spent 1.5 hours here, the first 50 minutes waiting on the main entrees. However, we loved a slow dining experience that was well paced with the first course tiding us over. Our server was great and all the employees were hustling around and there was only one sushi chef for the entire restaurant. They seemed to handle the rush and stress well. My favorites were a bilingual receipt (Chinese/English) and a bilingual fortune cookie (Spanish/English). Our total bill was under $25 (w/o tip) and the food was very good! I'm not one to drive far and this is not close to my house, but I see me visiting this place again in the future...and often. read more

I ordered takeout from Hanako tonight--Chicken and Broccoli, Gen. Tso's Chicken and Nigiri 6 pc with California Roll and Salmon Roll. Everything was fresh and delicious. The portions are generous and each hot item came with a Spring Roll and White Rice. The Sushi entree included Miso Soup and Salad. They were happy to accommodate me by giving me the 6 pcs of sushi of my choosing. I was so happy that they were remaining open during this awful COVID - 19 pandemic and that they are still offering sushi. Other Chinese/Japanese restaurants are currently only offering cooked food. I enjoy Hanako's food and the staff is friendly and efficient. The prices are also reasonable. I will continue to support their business through this difficult period and I hope that you will too. They deserve it! read more

This is the best Chinese place in Indian Land. We pretty much always get take out and it has been consistently good (and we'll priced!).

Terrible. The food is bland and not good Chinese food. I get stomach pains every time I eat it. Won't go back.

I know they exist, but should never ever ever meet up with them on a restaurant visit. I am referring to cockroaches in the bathroom. I reported them and it went with no concern, it did not even get an appology. Why customers did not hear me scream in the restroom is beyond me, but not many here for lunch, so maybe others know!!! I also had the opportunity to hear an adult staff, possibly the owner, yell and argue over a sushi order, that was awkward. My food arrived and to not be rude, I got a to go box to just drop in the trash. Yuck, pass on this place. Food looked good but the staff and roaches put a squash on that meal. read more

Unfortunately this is the only Asian restaurant in Indian Land. This is my second visit. The food is average. The service is rushed. In the summer it is hot inside. No substitutions. The lady who owns/manages this place is rude, to everyone. She treats customers like they are a nuisance to her. I wish there was another Asian restaurant in this area. read more

I am writing this review on behalf of my sister who lives nearby and have frequented them several times (every other weekend or so since June 2016). She enjoys the food, that's why she ordered from them and eaten with them several times. Finally though last night (Friday) she called me up and complained about the Asian lady (older) that answered the phone to take her order. She was leaving work and had no access to a menu and tried ordering from memory. She was ordering several appetizers and multiple sushi roll for her family of three. Sister said that the lady was so rude and not helpful at all. She already ordered several items and just needed help with the sushi portion of remembering. She asked the lady to name several of the sushi items when the lady basically told her that she doesn't have the time to read the menu to her. Sister says I only need the sushi side. The Asian lady kept on cutting her off when she had a question saying she doesn't have time for this and that she's busy. This wasn't the first time this has happened. Sister said she called them once along with her husband and they were both on the Bluetooth speaker in the car when the Asian lady told them that she needed only one of them to speak the order. How rude is that? Sister ended up ordering from a sushi place near her work and spent over $60. She was fed up with this restaurant that she called them up and told the Asian lady that she was rude and has lost a customer. I love sushi, but this will be one place that I will not visit. Food can be great, but service is key and customer appreciation is lacking with this restaurant. read more

I called they deliver and they are a bit further away than Golden China. They are super friendly on the phone and helpful. read more

I am so disappointed in Hanako. Used to be you order sashimi and get fresh 2 inch pieces of 3 kind of fish, 3 slices each. Today I ordered the 12 piece and literally got the equivalent if 4 pieces. They cut them down to and inch, some less and charge the same. Criminal. And the dumplings were so dough, barely any filing. I understand that Covid crushed small businesses but serving your patrons in this manner is an insult. Shame, the people are so kind. Never again will I order from them. And I'm 6 minutes away. Shame. read more

We've been ordering here a couple times a month for several months now. The food is consistently good and fresh. Very large portion sizes. We've tried several different things on their very large menu (haven't tried the sushi yet because everything else is so good). I love that you can online order. But they definitely take the full 25 mins if not longer for pickup, so be aware of that. We will keep coming back again and again! read more

Love this place. We've gotten takeout food and sushi here a few times lately, and each time is consistent and excellent.

Food is good, sushi is nice, place is kind of cute. But the Asian lady that supervises the place is extremely mean! You get the feeling like you're not supposed to be here ! It's too bad everything else seems to be clicking for them. read more

Hanako - Asian Fusion Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

Went to hanako to pick up lunch. My roll was 7.95 but with the charge for a eel sauce/Spicy mayo(which I've never paid for in my life, and I eat sushi every day almost) it ended up being over 10 dollars! Plus the roll was mediocre and the sauces did not taste like spicy mayo or eel sauce. Eel sauce is sweet and this was salty and spicy mayo is slightly spicy sweet and this was salty and gross. The avocado on the roll had very bad spots in it and the salmon on the outside was slimy. The only waitress there was deathly shy and asked her boss everything like should I give those people menus now. Should I take their order now. And then when she wasn't doing that she was watching tv. It took them 2 15 min to make one roll and they were not busy. read more

I come here about once a week for lunch. I'm a big fan of hibachi, so I either get Hibachi chicken/Shrimp or the broccoli trio. The food is quick and very good on most occasions. The owner has a hard time keeping waitresses so it's a merry go round for waitresses. The owner is very nice and she knows my order by now. I would definitely recommend this place for the sushi and Chinese food lovers. read more

The two stars are only for service, the meat and seafood did not seem fresh at all. Highly disappointed with the quality of the food. You can pay a little more for good sushi at Jade at the ballantyne village, Go there instead. read more

Went for lunch today, Saturday. Place was empty when I arrived around 12:00 but got progressively busier. I sat in a booth and was given a lunch menu. I thought this was more of a "sushi" place but they really offer everything (hibachi, Chinese fare etc...). I was in the mood for sushi and their lunch menu only had a few options and maybe I should have asked for a regular sushi menu but stuck with what I was given. For $7.25 I had 2 extremely mediocre sushi rolls (Spicy Tuna, Shrimp Crunch) salad, and miso soup. The miso and salad were pretty much what you get everywhere, nothing earth shattering. The sushi was pretty meh....it lacked flavor and the shrimp crunch was just topped with panko crumbs nothing spectacular. I eavesdropped on the next table after my food arrived and they ordered off the regular sushi menu.....why didn't they give that to me? From my experience today I will stick to Jade or 18 for good, quality sushi right down the road. I may return to try the Hibachi. read more

Just opened on the edge of the Ballantyne area is a new Asian Sushi Bar. The restaurant is located behind Bojangles next to Carolina Bistro. We have stopped by a few times and everything has been wonderful. I generally get the Sashimi and the pieces are large and fresh. The sushi rolls are the same large and fresh and their prices are very reasonable compared to others in the area. They also have a Chinese menu and a Teriyaki and Hibachi menu for those who do not like the raw stuff. A friend of mine had the Hibachi and loved it. If you stop by, keep in mind they have just opened and are having the usual growing pains of a new business. One last note, there is no alcohol being served for 30 days due to local regulations. But they will have a full bar soon. They are open for lunch and dinner 7 days a week! read more

We've been sitting here for 30 minutes, still no appetizer, the waitress seems to hate her job. If you want anything(like to order) you have to flag her down, then she will just stand at your table mumbling. When our tools finally do come out, one is wrong. The food was actually decent, but the service was sooo bad. As for my ratings, I always put a higher priority on device, I'm a good cook, if I want perfect food I make it myself, when I go out I want a perfect experience read more

My favorite go to Asian food spot! I love the sushi and the honey chicken! Great staff, quick service, I frequent this place at least twice a week for lunch or dinner takeout orders. read more

I'm so sorry to say that I do not like their food. I'm not sure what kind of seasonings and things that they used, but I couldn't eat my meal it tasted so horrible. I did take my sushi home with me because that's kind of hard to screw up, but the main part of my meal was just bizarre tasting. I've had all kinds of Asian in Japanese and Chinese food specifically all over the country and I've never tasted anything this weird in my life. Now the service on the other hand, was perfect. The people that own the place are delightful and extremely friendly I just really wish their food tasted better or that they would change whoever they buy their cooking supplies from. Because my first experience was so violently bad and made me so sick I don't know if I'll ever be willing to give it a try again. The sanitation appeared to be quite nice and clean. The only reason why I gave the two stars was simply because of the quality of service and the cleanliness of the restaurant, but it had nothing to do with the quality of the food. read more

Food was awesome but the service needed some work. Food was a 10 service was a 5. Price was comparable to other restaurants. The waitress was a little unfriendly to our table but showed a more friendly demeanor towards another family. read more
