Glad I found this gem of a place. Inside atmosphere is very beautiful decorated and nice and warm in the winter. First time here. They have a great menu. The Chinese food is top notch for the area. I had the chicken and broccoli lunch special with 1 lg. shrimp roll and a X large bowl of egg drop soup with a hot tea to drink. So glad I tried this place. I'll be back for sure! read more

Excellent sushi at a fair price. They have a 3 for $13 deal on sushi rolls! Very fresh rice rolls!

I was a little unsure about this place being it looks like it used to be a taco bell. Never judge a book by it's cover. This place has amazing sushi. We ordered california roll, shrimp tempura roll and and the crab stick roll. Also ordered the gyoza and some soup. The prices are great and I can't wait to come back here for the bento box and the hibachi. Service was great too! read more

Food was great, crab rangoons not so good to me but others may enjoy. Overall deff a great place to stop for a combination platter!

Usually hits the spot when I need my sushi fix every time! The prices are affordable and we've never had a bad meal yet!

After all the great reviews on here I was expecting a lot more. Perhaps that was the problem. But I didn't enjoy my experience here at all and won't be going back. It started out weird, went to good, and then crashed and burned rather quickly. The place suffered from a major identity crisis. It was supposed to be a Japanese restaurant but there were some Chinese menu items and basically all of the decor was Chinese as well. It was also very kitschy- lots of blinking/flashing lights, cheap paper lanterns, etc. Just wasn't a comfortable atmosphere. I was given the impression from other reviews that it was this nice serene place that transported you to Japan. Yeeeah, so not the case in the least. It transported me to every other cheap Chinese restaurant I've been to. Service. It was lacking. We had to repeat our order back after each item. My husband told her at least two or three times how he wanted his steak cooked and she came back out AGAIN to ask. I didn't think our order was so hard and weren't you writing it down? Then after our food came she never once came to check on us. Also as we were looking over the sushi I asked if she had any recommendations. She was clearly talking out of her ass and had NO idea. She then proceeded to read us the rolls on the specials board (which was blinking on and off and made it basically impossible to read), and said "some kind of sauce" to describe the one. Speaking of recommendations, there were plenty for the Black Dragon roll but I gotta say I wasn't all that impressed. It was just so-so in my opinion. My husband liked it though, which is saying something as he's not one for sushi. It was beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I was disappointed it wasn't something more than it was. Again, it could be because it was talked up so much, I don't know. What they got right was the crab rangoon (again, why the mixed in Chinese?) which was amazing. The soup and salad for the Hibachi was also good. The hibachi itself? It left something to be desired. It was a little cheaper than other places around here, but also wasn't as good. The chicken was a bit dry and didn't have much flavor, and the fried rice just seemed off. I also had some of my husband's steak and again, the flavor just wasn't there. I don't know. It was alright but just nothing to write home about. That seemed to be the overall experience. Also, it may be minor but needs to be mentioned. In the bathroom there are no hooks on the back of the door or wall for coats/purses. Do you think I want to set my stuff on the dirty floor? Also the trash can does me no good all the way on the other side of the bathroom from the door. And why the hell are there a bunch of cleaning supplies and chemicals just sitting there under the sink? They should be put away somewhere. Sure, those are minor details, but things that need to be addressed. It doesn't matter how pretty the food is, and great crab rangoon, soup, and salad does not a restaurant make. No wonder the place was empty the whole time we were there at prime dinner hours. I'll stick with Mizu in Niles, and if I really want the crab rangoon, I'll just do take out. read more

Came across this restaurant while driving through Ohio and was not disappointed. It's definitely a family owned business, and when we went in at 9pm they still gladly served us even though they were closing at 9:30. We ordered two dinner bento boxes, which were very substantial and filling. One of the best looking and tasty bento boxes I have ever had. Started off with some Miso soup. They had tempura, sushi, fried dumplings, and your main course win rice (I had salmon teriyaki and my mom had the pork katsu). Of course there also was the orange slices to finish the meal. Great food, and nice atmosphere. I would definitely come again. read more

I absolutely love this place for take out!! You get so much DELICIOUS food for a reasonable price, the staff is friendly, and they run incredible specials! We have ordered the chicken Hibatchi, Hibatchi noodles, and various sushi rolls on multiple occasions. This has become one of our most frequented runs when we don't feel like cooking. We have never eaten in dining area, because we always get take out from the drive through. It seems to be family owned, which is a plus! It's so easy to order on the Beyond Menu app, too! I can't say enough about how much I love this place! read more

Hanami Express - Spicy salmon and spicy yellow tail sushi! (3 rolls) - Japanese Near Me - Austintown, Ohio

It's ok but not great, solves the sushi craving. Rolls are not as big as some of the other local places.

Great food, but our one knock is that they forget items sometimes in our bag. This makes it a hassle when we are feeding our family and we have to go back out to get our full order read more

Fresh quality Asian cuisine. Worth every dollar as prices are reasonable. I don't think the others competitors of take out in this area can match the pure flavor and sauces. The staff is always pleasant. Hanami has been one of the most comforting things about moving to Austintown. You MUST try it! read more

This restaurant competes with Sawa and Mizzu. The guy who works there is great, very funny. Also it has Chinese food that is very high quality for this area. A negative is every time I go, it is empty. I hope they can stay open because this restaurant is a great alternative for getting hibachi without going to Boardman. read more

Really really delicious. Don't let the sketchy exterior and questionable surroundings fool you. This is the best yaki udon I've had. The sushi is very fresh and full of flavor. read more

Their food here is amazing! Costumer service is amazing as well too! I get the sweet and sour chicken with fried rice every time I go, and it is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend going their if you enjoy eating egg rolls! their egg rolls are the best thing I have had in a while! The servers there can sometimes be slow, but in the end I will always love this restaurant! I highly recommend it! read more

I wasn't pleased my second time there. I had to ask multiple times for the same thing. They don't have enough help.

I have been extremely satisfied with the service, atmosphere and food at Hanami Express on both occasions of dining in. While the exterior and neighborhood look sketchy, don't overlook this sushi gem. I enjoyed the sweet potato rolls immensely and at a buy 2 get 1 free deal (always running) how can you pass this up? Don't just take my word for it, try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Love this restaurant. Food is excellent, prices are responsible. Great selection of sushi rolls. Eat in or drive thru.

This place is awesome! Looks like a family owned restaurant with good food! I ordered the chicken hibachi to go for $11 and some change. You get soooo much food for your money! Great food, friendly employees and definitely worth your money! read more

Hanami Express - Chicken hibachi meal all for $11.95 - Japanese Near Me - Austintown, Ohio

Ok restaurant. I thought with all the 5 star reviews that this place was going to be great but it was just so so. The rolls were smaller than I'm used to. My friend had the habachi and she said it was just ok. We're here from out of town but even if I lived here I don't think I'd go much. I think the only thing I'd do is grab sushi through the drive thru since it would be quick and it was better than grocery store sushi read more

Good food nice service. I will be going back quite frequently. The rolls are a fair size and of great quality and their hibachi is yummy

Tried the Hanami Express after driving past it for a long while. I am glad we did! My daughter and I stopped on a whim after reading some of the reviews. First impression was a very nice, decor and a comfortable space. We ordered hibachi steak and several sushi rolls. My daughter really enjoyed her hibachi. She's very particular and said it tasted very good! She ate nearly the entire plate! I had spicy salmon, Philadelphia roll, and shrimp tempura roll! All three were excellent! I also had tempura vegetables. These came out early before the meal and find perfectly. I would recommend anyone looking for a comfortable, enjoyable sushi meal, stop by the Hanami Express! read more

Awesome awesome awesome! This is our next favorite take out place. Sweet and sour chicken! Orange beef! Crab Rangoon!!! Salmon suchi roll! All so fresh and tasty!! read more

First off... Don't let the appearance of the outside scare you, the inside is totally remodeled and very nice. My wife and I had the chicken and steak hibachi dinners. They were good. Our only complaints would be that the rice is not fried, it is steamed. and they charged us extra for a little side of the shrimp (yummy) sauce. With those being the only issues... we will be sure to come back. read more

Japanese, Chinese, identity crisis ? Who cares .. good food that's cooked quick. It's our go to place for to go food , even got a drive thru read more

Pretty good! Coming from California I was skeptical about a sushi place in Ohio but this place was great. Wonderful service, good food, clean cute environment. We will definitely be back. We ordered the crazy roll, ocean roll, rocky roll, crab Rangoon, and volcano roll. All were wonderful but the crazy roll was definitely our favorite. The only way it could be better is if they served Sapporo or Saki! read more

Went here with my coworkers on a Sunday night after work. We opted to do the Hibachi menu. We had great service. They took our orders quickly and were very friendly.Everything was cooked perfectly; nothing burnt and nothing underdone. We're all leaving with happy & full bellies...and some leftovers for later! And it's not expensive at all for $9 bucks habachi chicken. They also have chinese food which is amazing. Good job! read more

The best Japanese food!! My favorite! I am a repeat customer, and every time I have gone, everything was excellent! I have tried many different Sushi rolls (Shrimp roll, California Roll, Happy Roll). They are all so good! Especially the Shrimp roll....my new favorite! Chicken & Steak Hibachi so good too! If you haven't tried this restaurant, you should. We love it! read more

The sushi was fresh and delicious and the service very accommodating. My dining companion greatly enjoyed the chicken hibachi dinner. I will definitely come back again. read more

Hanami is a great option for Japanese and Chinese food in Austintown. The hibachi dinners are great but they make by far the best orange chicken and general tso's chicken I ever had. Everyone is very nice there and experience has always been great. read more

Great food and very fresh sushi. Meals are Always prompt and treated with care. One of my favorite carry out establishments!

I'm so not understanding all the good reviews here. My friend and I ate lunch here on Monday. Service was just OK. The place could be cleaner and just overall drab looking. Ordered the Hibachi Combo of chicken and scallops. My food came out before hers. So I had to sit and wait. The fried rice was not freshly cooked. The broccoli was raw. The sauce was watery. The chicken was tough, overcooked and chewy and so were my scallops with no flavor. Definitely not worth the $15.85 I paid for it. This was NOT true hibachi and the worst I've ever had. Oh and not once did anyone offer to fill up our waters. Won't be back. Highly disappointed. And no, it was not busy there were only two other patrons in there at the time. read more

Pretty good! The building is a little sketchy looking, but the food is good and the staff is friendly

Food excellent wish this place was closer to home. Very quaint clean place service good food took a little long but was worth the wait. My recommendation would be for take out read more

Good food for the price! It's my go to Chinese food place! Sushi rolls are buy 2 get 1 free. Best hot and sour soup around.

Great price, great food. 2 hibachis for under $18?! Hands down the best in the Youngstown area.

I absolutely LOVE this place. Best-kept secret in the Youngstown area. Incredible sushi. Phenomenal hibachi. Also very tasty Chinese dishes. Excellent service as well. Just do it! You'll be glad you did. read more

Walked in and was completely surprised good food good service. Ok yes Chinese and Japanese food on the same menu and I tried both and now i have a new fav Chinese restaurant and who doesn't want a sushi roll with there crab ragoons ! So yes give it a try it is well worth it. read more

AWESOME every time we order!!! Never a bad meal!! The service is GREAT!! the gentlemen who is always working is so sweet and patient. He answers every question that is asked!! We actually ordered lunch from there today, we were surprised because some places don't offer lunch specials on the weekend, but they did!! The sushi was fresh, the cram Rangoon was awesome, chicken on a stick rocked!!! This is definetly our new spot!! Glad we found it!! read more

I wish I could give less than one star to express how disappointed I was with this restaurant last night. We arrived on a Friday night at 6 pm, there was one table of 7 there in addition to our party of 3. We placed our order and waited. And waited. And waited. We waited as the entire restaurant filled up. We watched multiple tables get their entrees before our soup was even brought out. We watched our waiter sit near the drive through lane playing on his phone instead of checking on his tables / their food. We watched multiple tables get up and leave. A waitress recognized that we had been waiting the longest with no assistance from our waiter and took over our table. 45 minutes from when we sat down, our soup finally came out. Another hour after that, our dinner was brought out - cold and lackluster. Our second waitress did the best she could under the circumstances, but we believe that our initial waiter never put in our order and the kitchen was more concerned about getting takeout orders ready than the guests dining in. My husband and I are both in agreement that we will NEVER be returning to this restaurant. read more
