Omg where do I begin! Everytime I come to Hanamuru whether it's order out of eating out I just feel so taken care of! Great staff sweet souls that are offering fire food that not only fills your belly but your soul. Did not order this little dessert and we were gifted this and it's just a little depiction of what this beautiful staff does for their patrons. LIKE ALWAYS LEAVING HANAMURU WITH A HUGE SMILE IN MY FACE AND A BELLY FULL OF GOOD FOOD

We celebrated my son's 16th birthday. We enjoyed the Fresh sashimi and other wonderful entrees. The vibe is always friendly and welcoming, so it is a wonderful place for any occasion ranging from simple dine in to special occasions.

49 Ers Roll Super Duper Roll

Fish didn't taste fresh so that was very disappointing. I ended up removing the fish eggs off my rolls too and eating the sashimi with the lemon slices to make it better. The restaurant was strangely very empty on a Sunday night and the place smelled very strongly of bleach, which was super displeasing. I was considering leaving just because of the smell. They did frequently check on our table and offered water refills which was sweet but also awkwardly disrupted conversation.

Lion King Roll
Brenda L.

I ordered for take out but didn't pick up my order, so my review is primarily on the Lion King roll! It's a bit expensive here - about $16-17 for a Lion King. To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed with the quality of sushi here. The salmon had a strange slimey texture, and the entire roll was drenched in a sweet and spicy sauce which overpowered the entire roll. The "roll" part of the sushi was fairly standard but nothing extraordinary. The previous reviews concerning the foul smells in the restaurant are definitely worrisome too lol - I'd likely visit another sushi restaurant in the future!

This place is only doing pick up. I always place my order online, which I think that's the best way so you know exactly when to pick it up. I like it because I get an email that they received my order and the approximate time to pick up my food, so I know when to head out. I like to order the lemon roll, rainbow roll, saki nagiri, and sometimes try a random different roll. Also, this time I grabbed the baked mussels as an appetizer. The baked mussels had a lot of sauce which I liked. The fish is always fresh and they don't go cheap. Everything I've had so far is really yummy. I have no complaints. The workers are friendly and the food is worth it.

When you want some affordable with lots of options for you to choose from, come to Hanamaru. So many options and so many combo to choose from and they are all good. It comes in a huge quantity. The waiting time was quite short. I ordered a lot and it took no more than 30 minutes. It is located in a corner of the plaza so look closely. It's not a small place and it looks weird at first, not like a sushi place. But it is very good. Please come try and support this place.

We were pleasantly surprised that the wait was not very long at all. Probably due to the weather. The normally packed parking lot across the street was almost empty. We waited about 15-20 minutes before being sat at my favorite table near the window. We always order the extra special nigiri and a few additional pieces à la cart. We were lucky enough to try the 4 piece Japan fish combo special this time as well. My youngest orders the galbi and a side of rice. The galbi was extremely thick! I was so surprised. She really enjoyed it. Every table was packed per usual, including the sushi bar. I especially appreciate this family friendly spot for it's consistent service and value. You can't beat the nigiri special price! Just be prepared to wait if you arrive during prime dining hours. Service has always been consistently good here which you wouldn't expect for such a busy restaurant. Nothing fancy or stuffy.

Wish there was a tiny bit more seafood but it was fresh and served on the hot plate which kept the food warm throughout the meal. Also tried the chicken karaage and veggie tempura. Flavor of the chicken was great but it was a bit chewy. It said it would take 20-30 min for the okonomiyaki but it felt like the food came out much quicker than that. Nice cozy restaurant interior, plenty of tables when I arrived around 11:45am on a Saturday but the restaurant was full by the time we left.

Rokko offers a huge Izakaya style menu including sushi and meshi, and Fugestsu offers okonomiyaki aka Japanese pizza / latkes. - While the Izakaya style offerings were great, the okonomiyaki was fantastic! I hadn't had it for a couple years, and I'd forgotten how magical it is. Came here in a group and did a family style order including the okonomiyaki "sampler." The four items in the sampler were the first four items completely eaten by our group! Maybe all okonomiyaki is this good and I'd just forgotten. Or maybe Fugetsu is really special. Actually it's special no matter what because even if you're the only okonomiyaki lover in your group, your dining companions can order from the giant Rokko menu with all its other stuff. I'll be back.

We were seated right away and was told to scan the QR code for the menu. Unfortunately there was no cell signal for us so we had to ask for the paper menu. The lunch bento box looked like a good deal especially if you wanted to add on some rolls. The portions were quite good. We got the Chicken Teriyaki bento and added a salmon skin roll. Requested for the salmon skin to be crisped - which they did do. Also had the Salmon Teriyaki lunch and added a cucumber roll to that. Had an order of Ebi negiri. The bento lunches came with mushroom, tofu soup, salad, and rice. The soup was ok - a little light in flaovr and the salad dressing tasted like a mayo dressing. The Chicken Teriyaki and Salmon Teriyaki were good. The cucumber roll was ok. The roll was not a good roll so it did fall apart when you pick it up. The salmon skin roll was crisply done as requested but the sauce on the roll didn't go well with the roll. It was just OK - the flavor was a little flat unfortunately. The ebi was fresh. they also brought ginger and wasabi to the table. The wasabi was not "spicy' at all. We used quite a bit of it and there was no burn..:-( We got water at the table but did not get served any tea. This was a separate charge. Don't know that I would make this my goto Sushi spot. While I did take photos of our lunch, for some reason - I lost it so cannot post it this time. :-(

If you like seafood and delicious/healthy sides this is a good spot for you.

The mashed potatoes here are also delicious. We also tried the sticky ribs which was an appetizer which was not bad. I did not LOVE the sauce, but it was worth trying.

We were the only pair seated at a tiny table for two while there were several larger tables available and all other pairs were seated at those. Our server was Michelle. We ordered our food, which came on 4 large plates which left us with zero room to eat on the table. We had to take it upon ourselves to combine ours with the next small table. She also named things so fast that we didn't realize she gave us an extra item we didn't order. They also charged us for it. Michelle might have been assigned to too many tables. She didn't check on us once after serving our food, and one of our items we did order was missing. However the bartender was super nice and came from behind the bar to help get us boxes and the check! Obviously you can't expect much from a chain like this lol but it continues to not even reach my mid expectations
