Casual, typical sushi restaurant. You can find decent quality sushi rolls here, and they have various items on the menu. I recommend the salmon tataki and agedashi tofu for appetizers. The salmon was fresh, and I liked how the agedashi tofu was really big and soft on the inside. I believe is the owner is also Korean, and they are friendly to talk to when you sit at the bar. Will definitely come back if I am in the area and when I am craving sushi rolls. read more

I can't give 0 stars? Okay. I was convinced I was too lazy to join yelp and write reviews but it was not until I trusted yelp reviewer ratings did I realize that people don't have taste buds at all. It has never been clearer to me in life that (for the most part) Asians and non-Asians have vastly differing taste buds and ideas of what is good and authentic Asian food. I have always believed that Asian people generally have subtler palettes exemplified by why many love the "Chinese" dish, Orange Chicken and love putting soy sauce on everything as if it wasn't flavorful enough. I was looking for a replacement for a sushi boat restaurant replacement since Sushi Maru in Sunnyvale closed down. I decided to try out yelp and find somewhere close in proximity and went there with my mother and grandmother to a disappointment that I can not nearly come close to expressing in words alone. Hanamaru has Korean workers galore. Sushi is Japanese. The majority of the clientle are non-Asian. So if you couldn't see where I was going, essentially I mean to say that the food is not very good. The prices are lower but the portions and quality have followed along. When my family and I were seated at the sushi bar and looked at the sushi on the boats, in all seriousness and without exaggeration, we wanted to walk right out the door. The sushi chefs, as nice as they were, even noticed our quietude and asked us if we were alright but being Chinese/Asian, we felt a sense of obligation of propriety that we could not disrespect this establishment. But I guess it was improper to call that sushi, so pick your poison. In the end, we ordered four rolls: 1. Fire Cracker (fried spicy tuna roll covered in all this random sauce) - the reality was much smaller than the picture. And sorry, but the three different sauces (sriracha, unagi, and another i did not care to figure out) could not cover how bad this roll was. The 'spicy tuna' inside just became canned chicken of the sea. 2. Rock n' Roll (Unagi, Cucumber, Avocado maki roll) - really small, drenched in unagi sauce, not very fresh. 3. California Roll - Fake crab meat, discolored avocado. 4. Spider Roll (Soft Shell Crab) - Stale stale stale stale stale. Oh. and covered with UNAGI SAUCE. Why did they even give us soy sauce if they so lovingly drenched all my dishes in sweet sauce already? You know what? Who am I to tell other people what to eat? I mean, if you can't distinguish between fresh/quality ingredients or between good Asian food and bad Asian food, then why pay more? As for me, I think I will just look to ask my Japanese friends where the good ones are. read more

They have so many interesting things on the menu that I really want to come back and try more... We decided on the Jalapeño Bomb, Angel's Treat, Salmon Avocado, and Happy Together. I was a HUGE fan of the jalapeño bomb... crispy, fried jalapeño stuffed with spicy tuna and cream cheese. Although the salmon avocado was a simple roll, we really enjoyed it. The angel's treat and happy together rolls were pretty good... I loved the spicy sauce on the happy together. Only thing was that there were a few pieces of really FISHY tasting salmon that would totally ruin the flavor. Aside from that, everything was great. Hopefully when I try other items next time I won't come across those super fishy tasting pieces and I can increase my rating to a 5! read more

Best sushi restaurant I've ever been to, and trust me I've a huge sushi fan and have been to lots of sushi restaurants. Especially if you are a fan of creative rolls with lots of different ingredients, this is the place to go. Here's a list of why I think it's the best sushi place: 1. it's absolutely delicious!!!!! Just thinking about the rolls there make my mouth water! 2. Cheap!! The rolls are surprisingly cheap for a sushi restaurant ^__^ 3. Lots of choices, with really creative rolls that's worth trying!! 4. Great environment!! the tablewares, decorations, and menus are just too pretty and adorable. Very romantic and sweet~~~ 5. For those of you ladies who don't like carbs and too much rice, they have quite a few sashimi rolls or sashimi salad with veggies and sashi mi, very healthy, yummy and guilt free :) 6. Free dessert!!! Super yummy asian ice cream for FREEE hehe 7. The chefs and waiters are very friendly. Suggestions: I would personally recommend the Joy Roll for those of you who likes salmon. Rock'n Roll for people who likes eel. The Poki Deluxe is a pretty good spicy tuna roll. My boyfriend likes all their shrimp tempura rolls. What else would need for a perfect sushi restaurant?! I'm a perfectionist, and this is one of the very few things in my life I would call "perfect"! But it deserves it :) read more

Favorite Sushi Spot in Sunnyvale! They have some pretty crazy, fun, and unique rolls on their menu, so don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new, because they end tasting pretty darn good! We frequent this place often for lunch, and the staff is always friendly, saying hello as soon as you walk in the door. Their specialty rolls can be pretty big so if your eating by yourself, beware when you order more than 1 roll, otherwise, you'll be rolling yourself out of this joint. We like their Fire Cracker roll which are these lovely deep fried spicy tuna roll nuggets drizzled with unagi and more spicy sauce, they are just lovely and some days will be having you grabbing for water. We also like the Awesome Hanamaru, yes another deep fried roll but you have to try this... it's a deep fried california roll with their special house sauce and than MACADAMIA NUTS! Hello, people, really good combination by adding those nuts! Their sashimi is also always fresh and tastes yummy. If your not in the mood for sushi, they also have various Udon or Soba along with various options of Bento Boxes. Really their quality of food has always been good. They even surprise you with a little dessert at the end of your meal on the house thanking you for your business, not many places do that anymore. Sometimes they will even give you a free Miso Soup on the house if your at the sushi bar just eating sushi, really they know how to keep their customers happy, and that is a big reason people will always come back, not only because the food is good. read more

Hanamaru has been a regular visit for lunch. The bento boxes provide a good deal, and the food quality is always good. The tempura and gyoza have the right crispiness. Crispiness without being overly greasy. I am guessing they change out the deep friers oil regularly, so the fried food doesn't get all funky. The specialty rolls are really tasty and quite large. The prices on the rolls are very fair. Try out the dragon roll. It is taste explosion. The restaurant is pretty small, but surprisingly it is typically not overly crowded during lunch time. It is in the Safeway parking lot, so perhaps the fact that they are not on El Camino Real proper keeps the crowds away. The decor is nice, and the staff is friendly. The owner Una is really cool, though she isn't at the restaurant that often these days. The only drawback is the staffs English is sometimes a little hard to understand, but for good Japanese food in the Sunnyvale area, this is an excellent choice. read more

Everyone makes mistakes, but sometimes those mistakes are corrected beautifully. We ordered sushi from Hanamaru on GrubHub. It was a shit show. The driver didn't pick up all of our order and then he left the remaining part of our order outside on our garage ramp. I called Hanamaru and spoke to the nicest woman. She was so apologetic and it wasn't even her fault. She said she was sending the driver back to us with the rest of our order. Twenty minutes went by and then she called me back. She was sending one of her employees with the rest of our order plus some extra food. I even received a call from the employee who wanted to make sure that she connected with my husband outside our building. We have been dining at Hanamaru for many years. Their food is delicious and they have always been so friendly and hospitable. We will definitely return to dining in person at Hanamaru! They just went over and beyond to correct an issue that was not their fault. read more

Located at the corner of the plaza with ample parking outside. It's clean inside & the service is prompt. We love sitting at the bar where we can see the chefs making the sushi. The menu comes with a long list of special rolls. It would prob take me a year just to be able to try each type of roll. Plus I keep ordering the same stuff coz they're so good. My fav is the Lion King coz the sauce really flavors it all up without sacrificing the flavor of the salmon & other ingredients. Rolls are pretty good sized & the ingredients are fresh. The sushi boats are pretty pricey but fresh. I noticed that the water where the boat floats on isn't that clean. It concerns me a bit when I see the water isn't clear. That's what's keeping me from picking up the plates from the boat. read more

Highly recommend the naked salmon roll Bc that is solidly delicious and not covered in too much sauce. We also ordered the lion queen roll and there was too much sweet sauce. Call ahead and they make it pretty fast read more

Hanamaru - Right: naked salmon roll Left: lion queen - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

We tried this place for the first time tonight and it was great! Ordered 3 bento boxes and got to try a bunch of stuff. We tried the chicken teriyaki (pretty standard and good), the tempura (got both the veggie only option and the mixed option which included 3 shrimps!), California roll (lots of crab, yum!), tonkatsu, cucumber roll, beef yakiniku (really good), chicken kara-age (also really good), and the Alaska roll (salmon and avocado). Everything was delicious and portions were good. Prices were reasonable. We had 3 bento boxes and fed 2 adults and 2 kids. It was easy to order online and they took COVID precautions during pickup. read more

I'm a little bewildered why this place is rated so high. I popped in here yesterday for a quick lunch with a business colleague. I ordered a sashimi lunch combo with a Dragon roll and he ordered the don katsu. By how fast he ate, his must have been decent, or he was hungry from that grueling meeting we were in. My sashimi was exactly what the 2-star rating says..."meh". It was okay at best. It wasn't gross, but it was just lackluster. People who know sushi always tell me it's about the cut, freshness, and texture of the fish that give it the quality you're looking for. I guess the cut was okay, but the fish itself (salmon, yellow tail, tuna) was all the same. A little fishy, not much taste, and not the texture you would expect from a place that had 4-stars out of 225 review. The dragon roll was also just okay. I think the crab was sitting around for a while and the whole roll fell apart. Even with the most ridiculous, piled high, white-ified rolls, it should hold together to a reasonable extent...and there was no flavor to the rice. Kind of disappointing for a "standard" sushi roll. The net: You can always tell how good everything else is by ordering the sashimi. This time, Yelp, really let me down. It looks like they're trying to be a California Roll Factory kind of place, and a Japanese restaurant, and a sushi boat place. First, I should've known that sushi boat restaurants aren't typically good, especially in the South Bay, but perhaps they should just focus on being good at one or two things. Maybe this place is awesome for Japanese food that isn't sushi. One thing is for sure...I'm not about to find out. read more

Best sushi in town, especially when owner Jimmy is behind the counter. Personal favorite is the Follow Your Dream roll. We also love the Chicken Kara age, Chicken Teriyaki Don Buri, and many more. Rarely will you find such a fantastic blend of classic and edgy sushi, like their Awesome Hanamaru roll (deep fried CA roll w/macadamia nuts, tobiko, green onion, and house sauce). My family has been coming here for years and it's the one place in town I MUST go whenever I visit this area. read more

My husband and I just ordered a few sushi rolls from Hanamaru through Door Dash and it was AMAZING!! We ordered after 9:00pm and I wasn't sure what quality we were going to get at this late hour. To our surprise all of the sushi rolls were so FRESH and yummy! We also called to make a change to our order and they were super nice and accommodating. If you have a late night sushi craving or just want delicious sushi, order from these guys! We loved it. read more

Wow, I can't believe I"ve lived in Mt. View for over 10 years and just discovered Hanamaru! Usually, I feel like sushi is a luxury because it is so pricey...and rightly so but I really felt I got a good value tonight with the rolls I ordered! I ordered 4 rolls including the Crazy Horse, Mission Complete, Sunflake flakes, and Paradise. They were beautifully presented on a round platter and made it looks so delicious. The fish was fresh and there was so much of it. My family of 4 was stuffed afterwards. I love that they even have a special if you order online. This included sake! This is my go-to sushi place from now. I can't wait to try the non-sushi options as well! read more

Another good sushi place to add to the list - yeeee! I like sushi places that have size variations in their specialty rolls - that way it gives you the option to try different types without over-ordering. For lunch my friend and I ordered: 1) Harley Davidson (8 pcs) - since it was highly mentioned on Yelp. This roll was HUGE, and I mean like colossal HUGE! Usually I just stuff a whole sushi piece in my mouth so the fillings don't fall out, but this one was impossible. I had to take 3 bites to finish one piece. The Harley Davidson is a cold roll with spicy tuna and cucumber inside and shredded crab meat and masago on top, covered with two of my fav sauces - sriracha and orange sauce. Pretty, pret-tay, goood. 2) Jumping Spicy Tuna (6 pcs) - very TASTY! It's a warm deep fried roll with spicy tuna inside and covered with crushed nuts, tobiko and a special sweet sauce. And once again - the roll was HUGE! 3) Jalapeno Bomb (2 pcs) - meh. Thought it'd be something like a jalapeno popper (coz I love those!), but it just tasted like cooked tuna (not spicy) w/ some cheese stuffed in a regular green pepper (didn't even aste like it was in a hot jalapeno pepper to me). Not something I'd get again. Overall, I'd come here again because the sushi rolls are massively HUGE and good for the price. read more

Meh. Had better service and food. Prices are a bit high for what you get. Niji in Mountain View is a better deal, both in the flavor and portion departments. Mind you this was not our first choice; the one we originally wanted to go to was closed for the Holidays. So, I used Yelp for help and Hanamaru came up. It was funny in that they must have a very limited amount of their tired menus. The server asked if we were done with ours so that she could give it to a group that sat down a bit after us! read more

My favorite Japanese food place so far! I like their cold soba noodle here because a lot of the other restaurant doesn't this and it tastes good. Everything here are fresh and appetizing. The food tastes good and even in the bento boxes, they got big fat slices of sashimi. I would take the time to drive to eat here. =] read more

Great sushi. My go to sushi spot for casual but delicious sushi. They're service isn't the best but they're genuinely trying and doing their best and honestly their food is worth it. My fav is the Tokyo roll. I'm a big salmon avocado fan and their spin on it with the eel is amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious comfort food in the form of sushi. read more

TL;DR My family used to enjoy this place, but they've gone down in quality. For the long story, here are the points of contention: - The size of the rolls appears to have shrunken. I say this particularly after ordering the Awesome Hanamaru, one of their specials, and noticing how much it's gone down in volume (I want to say at least 30% down but at the same price). - The wait staff is not coordinated. They look like they have time to communicate with each other, but not with the clientele. Our server seemed to not understand us when taking our order. She also gave us two of one of our dishes and didn't give us two of our orders. Another server was busy (not her fault), and another server seemed to be left alone for front of the house and damage control. The ones left to suffer are the clients. Mind you the restaurant was not busy in the slightest. - The cooks were also busy talking. The servers would've had a much easier job if the cooks pumped out the food quicker. This wouldn't be a complaint if my table didn't see the cooks talking to each other standing around instead of actually working on food. In the end, we left without my mother having her dish arrive; after an hour, the rest of us had finished eating and even she was no longer willing to wait. This place was great, and the food still tastes good, but now the place is just a great disappointment. read more

This is a very reasonably priced sushi house. You won't be disappointed with the freshness and preparation of their sashimi or sushi. Their tempura and terriyaki are also above average. Their service is pleasant and decor is average. Sushi is its main attraction. Toro, hamachi, ami-ebe sake are all great. Their hand rolls or maki rolls, like dragon, spicy tuna, unagi, california are all excellent. A regular favorite of mine... read more

Hanamaru Haiku Reasonably priced Wouldn't call it authentic Lots of fried sushi Rolls were some of the tastiest I've ever had Lots of sauce on rolls Such a friendly staff Bottle after bottle of free sake we downed Toasting with the chef Free roll, free ice cream Went here with 10 friends Cream cheese filled fried roll? All I have to say about that is - nom nom nom! read more

If you want variety, this place is sure to have just about anything you're looking for in terms of sushi whether it's ordered from the menu or grabbed from the moving boats and trays around the bar. Although they reuse some of the items from the boats and trays with cute icons, such as Bad Badtz Maru, to serve to the customers, it's a solid joint in a strip mall with ample parking and good service. If you're looking for ultra fresh sashimi, then this isn't their strength. However, be sure to try the lion king roll and double awesome for warm and soothing comfort food that is baked if you're not in a raw fish mood. read more

Rolls here are pretty good but the other dinner items were just ok. Some of the katsu pieces did not have much meat and were a bit fatty. Unagi don was not too sweet and covered in sauce. Firecracker roll, Harley Davidson, and the Lion King roll were delicious. Fish was fresh and they lightly packed on just the right amount of rice read more

Came here on a Wednesday afternoon for lunch, seemed like a nice, decent sushi place. I open the menu, and there are a gazillion choices! Not a bad thing, I love variety, but it seemed overwhelming, especially with no pictures! Of course I chose a pictured roll, it was pretty much a rainbow roll with a spider roll inside. Sounds yummy, right? But don't let that photo fool you into buying a $13 roll for a two-star taste! I wanted this roll to taste good, unfortunately that was not the case. The sashimi did not taste fresh at all and my stomach did feel quesy an hour later, yikes! The fried batter on the soft shell crab was unpleasant- either the oil was bad or their choice of flour is whack. They also messed up on our order, no biggie though, but when one thing goes wrong, everything seems wrong. Instead of green onions and hamachi, they made the roll with ginger and hamachi. However, they let us keep both rolls, so kudos for service. Overall, the other rolls that my party ordered did not look so appetizing. I didn't try them, so yes, I am quick to judge, but if something does not look good, you might as well follow your instinct. And, I did hear chants of "it doesn't taste right" across my table. Also, while it was empty during this hour, our sushi took a while to make. I'll give credit though, there was only one chef and our waitress was nice. read more

Hanamaru - Japanese Near Me - Sunnyvale, California

Tried out Hanamaru for dinner one evening and although they had a few open tables, we sat at the sushi boat. I don't know why, that was the worst sushi boat ever, there was only two or three boats floating around, most of the items that were there when we were seated were still there when we left and hour later...eww!! The restaurant is kind of loud, not so much the patrons but the staff. The sushi chefs and servers kept yelling out orders to each other. It was way distracting that I couldn't concentrate on reading the menu. But, the staff was friendly though. I wasn't really feeling the sushi menu, as seemed like your typical Korean style sushi but, just a little too outside of the box. I had the "Local Girl" which was good, it was a shrimp tempura, avocado, cucumber and spicy sauce (Sriracha). I also ordered their Tuna Steak, which was seared ahi tuna with a sesame sauce. Okay, take a look at my pic, http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/OKV3pQfQcpy_pPU1SrBOWg?select=FjVOnia0TTwZ7h3WodS_lA that isn't "sauce," it's effin soup! My poor slices of ahi tuna were drowning in this "sauce" which by the way was hot, temperature speaking. I had to pick out my piece of tuna and had to cool them down on my plate. It was good and I still ate it but, it just seemed wrong altogether. Oh and, they need a new CD or something because in the hour we were there, I heard the same playlist three times...I can only listen to "Barbie Girl" so much. read more

http://s3-media2.ak.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/5KrxCsbeLz9APtYlhT6SEg/l.jpg So I ordered the Harley Davidson and Victoria Secret for dinner at Hanamaru. The service was a bit slow but maybe it was the constant taunting of the floating boats with sushi sitting in them as I was sitting at the bar that made me thing it took longer than it was. The food here is a very typical Korean Style Japanese Sushi Roll establishment but you know what, it still tasted good. The price wasn't overly inflated, the rolls were of good size and although a bit small, the lighting was adequate inside. My coworker I went with lives just down the street and he thinks he found his new sushi spot. For the price, I would say it worth checking out. read more

This place is fantastic! Love the freshness, flavor, service, selection, and price. The music playlist is pretty awesome - top 40, including some old favorites. Made us feel like dancing at the table. With a group of more than 2 people, make a reservation - even on a week night. Had to wait almost 30 minutes for a table of 5 on a Thursday night around 6:30. Worth the wait but try to plan ahead. The rolls are pretty substantial for the reasonable price. We also love that many of the special rolls have colorful pictures to make us drool and educate us on the amazingness that will soon arrive at our table. My new go-to sushi place. read more

I actually wasn't all that wowed by the two rolls I had, unfortunately, but service was great, 5 stars for that! We ordered the Harley Davidson ($12.95), upon yelp recommendations, but it had a little too much sauce (three sauces! unagi sauce, house/spicy? mayo sauce, and some sriracha type sauce. And was a bit too spicy, drowned out all the other flavors. There was an abundance of crab on top, so plus points for that :) Spicy tuna and cucumber inside were nice, am not so much a fan of albacore so that was okay. Dragon roll ($11.95) was okay, I thought they could've given more unagi and more unagi sauce. Also could've done with more avocado. I guess I'm just used to bigger slices of stuff on top.. read more

Delicious creative Japanese fusion food! Try the Harley Davidson roll!!! Great service too! Try and you'll be back again and again!!!

I came from living in SF and Berkeley where good sushi is abundant. Although I tried all Sushi places I could find-- from cheap to expensive-- I never found one with that perfect mix: Delicious sushi I can afford on a budget, great atmosphere, and friendly staff. This place has all three. The wait staff are always lovely- they remember me and always strike up courteous conversation, the food is absolutely amazing. They have a huge selection, from savory appetizers, to simple veggie rolls, to rolls where they pullout all the stops. (The Lion King is unreal.) The fish is always fresh and flavorful and the sake is great too. I highly recommend this restaurant. The location threw me when I first went in--being in a Safeway shopping centre and all--but I am so glad I went in. I have tried other sushi places since falling in love with Hanamaru, but I keep coming back time and time again. read more

I ordered take out from Hanamaru since it was pretty close in proximity and it got good reviews by fellow yelpers. Their menu is so big, I had a hard time picking out what to get initially. I settled on an Ichiban roll, a Crunchy hand roll, and pork gyoza. The Ichiban roll was okay, it was larger than I thought it would be. I certainly got my eel fix! I think their sushi rice could be better, I found it to be rather bland. When I called to place my order was surprised at how noisy it was, I could barely hear the gentleman that took my order. When I arrived to pick up my take out order, it was a pretty small place. Acoustically, it's pretty terrible so then I understood why I couldn't hear the person taking my order. For what it is, I'd say it's okay to get your sushi fix but I miss my NY sushi places! read more

There is a special place in my heart for sushi rolls, and I've been on the hunt for some good spots. Hanamaru might just be one of those spots. Went here with some friends, and got the Rainbow Roll, Caterpillar Roll, and the Harley Davidson. I liked how fresh the ingredients tasted, and the sauces that went with the cooked rolls were pretty tasty. I was surprised at how good the Harley Davidson was; the Sriracha on the sauce was not overpowering at all. The interior was very warmly decorated, with seating at the bar and at tables. It looked like the bar was done boat sushi style - not sure if that's a good or bad thing. There was plenty of parking in the plaza Hanamaru's located in, which is a total plus. This place is definitely worth some repeat trips! read more

Had to try this place out due to the reviews on Yelp. Craved sushi after school so I decided to look up a bookmarked place nearby. I actually came here with high expectations but I definitely wasn't impressed. Tried out the highly recommended Harley Davidson roll ($13.95) which was A-OK. Flavorful but the rice was a bit too hard. I thought the roll would be bigger but I guess not. If ever again, I would substitute the cucumber for avocado instead. The only other thing we ordered was the Spider roll ($8.95). This one was a total miss. The soft shell crab had a weird consistency taste. The sauce used wasn't very good either. It seemed thick and sticky. The slices were very thin, overall the roll was small but a good, big piece of soft shell crab put in there. Service was a bit weird. There were only two other parties and the young woman working seemed uptight towards the party of two sitting by the door. When they called for her, she replied "i'm coming" from across the room in a very rude tone. Kind of made me feel uncomfortable wanting to communicate with her for anything I needed. The sushi chef working behind the counter (we sat at the bar) knew when we were finished and told her to give us the check when we didn't even ask for it..made me feel like I was being watched the whole time I was eating. Ahh...but he was probably just being nice and accommodating. I'm glad this place is open all day unlike majority of other sushi places. The sushi on the sushi boat plate were wrapped with saran wrap. Weird. Never seen that before. That just tells me it isn't fresh, didn't look like it either! Yikes. Also, the hot tea had a bad taste to it. I just can't depict what it was..but it didn't taste like tea. Oh, and one last thing.. the wind kept opening and slamming the front door. Hopefully they get that fixed because it was super annoying. I don't know if i'll be back..we'll have to see.. read more

Some of my faves are the playboy, caterpillar, and spider roll. Their donburi and bento are good too. This place is also one of the cheaper sushi restaurants in the area which is a PLUS since all these places be overcharging for a piece of fish, rice, and seaweed but not Hanamaru!
