A place like Hanara leaves you inspired. I frankly haven't stopped thinking about it since I went. I was at a conference in the Arboretum, and we split off from the typical conference hullabaloo to grab lunch. Of the numerous options to choose from, we easily landed on Hanara as everyone in my party loves sushi. Inside, the shop is fun-sized. The sushi and ordering counter is tucked away with a few seats downstairs and a small dining space upstairs. You order at the counter and the food is brought to you. It's quick and convenient. The sushi chef and the other employee were moving like the backcourt of Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton. I didn't care about the massive amount of sushi options on the menu. I didn't care about the teriyaki bowls. I didn't care about the ramen. I cared about something I have been craving since moving to Austin. Something that deserves to be done well. A bento box. Especially the unagi one they were offering at Hanara. I felt like LeBron James's Instagram story: Smiling through it all! Can't believe this is my life. Look at the attached picture. Unagi sauced up with avocado, wasabi, and ginger. Plus a salad, two California rolls, white rice, gyoza, and tempura. Holy cow. I was eating good. I don't know what else to say. I yearn for a meal like this on the regular. Nothing in this bento was a miss. Banger after banger like it was The House Is Burning by Isaiah Rashad. I don't know how to speak about this without unfiltered hype and how I can dumb it down anymore. This is a glorious establishment. God is good. RIYL: Bento boxin' read more

The tradition for my wife and I, is to get some sushi, Sashimi after church. Since it was her first time in ATX and my homecoming back to ATX. We decided to honor that post church tradition. Although, its not the same as the PNW.We gave this place a try after finding it to be somewhat close to Grace Covenant 360 church. Moving on... The moment we walked in, we felt its subtle charm and peace. The front staff was extremely attentive and helpful. He basically cashed us in, brought us our food in the upper floor and was helpful. Oh and yes, they have gluten free soy-sauce! I suspect Tamari brand. Although, I don't believe the wasabi was real in the Pacific Northwest where we moved from. It was still manageable. The food is your typical options and, it can't beat the freshness from the PWN. However, the hospitality was excellent and we love the little scriptures, messages it was Un-Fearfully to express and present. God bless this little family like Sushi place. Now... The ambiance was lovely. It was a quiet kind of charm and peace filled. Great for couples and parking is in a shared strip/shopping center. In short, overall: Parking 5/5 Customer service: 5/5 Price: 3.5/5 Quality: 3.5/5 Grade: B+ Definitely recommend and would come back to support this quaint business! read more

Clean, small and quiet place tucked away in the Arboretum. Service is very friendly and kind. Upon entry, you order at the counter then take a seat. There are a couple seats on the first floor and additional seating upstairs. We ordered the poke bowl, which was tasty and filling. A satisfying meal. Would go back to try other items as well. read more

The place is a quaint little restaurant you can easily miss walking around at the Arboretum. We had the Poke bowls which were delicious. The service was great especially that they changed my friends menu due to his medical needs. He asked to get the poke bowl without the rice and they immediately altered the menu for him. What I liked was that even they took out the rice his poke bowl was just as large as mine. The way the bowls were served it was straight eye candy , wonderful! And the food was super fresh !! Definitely a little gem to discover. read more

Walked out rather than eating here. When we came In there were 3 working employees in a very small front of restaurant. There was a smell- it was probably some sort of cleaner, but it stunk and was not appetizing and did not smell clean. Then they gave me a hard to read menu saying you had to order at the register. Our party of 3 decided we weren't feeling it and left to find other sushi. read more

I went on Valentine's day and they were super sweet. The food was pretty solid. The interior is really cute and there's a nice upstairs area. They gave us a little pack of yummy candies for Valentine's day. read more

Placed a pickup door-dash order of: edamame, a king of king roll and a sweet potato roll. My edamame didn't come seasoned with salt or some spicy sauce which was disappointing. The king of king roll was decent. The sweet potato roll I found to be quite dense with not much potato with defeats the purpose. Overall it was decent but I wouldn't come out of the way for the food. The restaurant is intimate. I was welcomed in and didn't wait too long from my pickup order time. read more

Went here for a Sunday lunch and it's a pretty unassuming restaurant. Tucked inside the Arboretum area, this place sells both sushi and some Korean food. I got the spicy pork Bento box and it wasn't too bad. It's what I expected for spicy pork. Maybe it could it be a little spicier. You get a lot of food with the bento and the sushi rolls looked good too! read more

This place has wonderful Don Buri, it called Beef Bulgogi as it is a korean place. But the best Don Buri outside of Japan! Inside is a little to compact and not an inviting atmophere, but you can get it to go and eat at the many tables outside! read more

The Austin roll is my dream sushi roll. I wish I could eat it again right now while writing this. The people there were very nice. The place is so beautiful. It's pretty small but they do have an upstairs. read more

I placed an order to go through yelp grub hub. The bulgogi bowl is the worst I've ever had. It just tastes salty. I don't taste any soy sauce, sugar, or sesame oil. This is disgusting and I wouldn't order bulgogi from here again. The carrots taste like it droppedl on a surface washed with bleach or Mr. Clean. I'm pretty sure I just swallowed a carrot that's been touched with household cleaner. This is not healthy at all. read more

Such a wonderful find near the Arboretum! The location is great for sunset views, and the vibe is very peaceful and cozy. The udon noodles were perfectly chewy, and the poke was seasoned so well. It's a clean, super friendly, and comfortable spot for a meal. I'll be back soon to try the Pork Bulgogi Bowl read more

Found it tucked away in the arboretum shopping area. We ordered the Kpop and Hanara roll with miso soup. Excellent flavor and fresh. Quick and friendly service. Free water available. Small but cute little place for 1-2 at a table downstairs. Not sure about upstairs. Would come back for sure. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious sushi! My biggest thing is that this doesn't really work for a group bigger than 2 unless you want to eat it outside as their interior dining is extremely limited (like can seat maybe 20 people at a time total). We ended up eating outside which was fine but definitely something to consider. Would probably work better as a take out spot. read more

An offshoot of the Ichi Umi Sushi restaurant. Much more casual and much quicker service. We have never been disappointed with the food or service. read more

Quant place - you place your order and seat yourself and then they bring your order to you. Staff is helpful and service was fast. Good variety on menu. Sushi was presented nicely and delish. Was able to make a simple substitution easily as well (crab salad instead of spicy crab salad). Recommended for smaller groups (4 or less). read more

Salmon bento Comes with tempura, sushi, salmon, rice, salad The salmon is a bit dry but overall the box is good. I think this is a good value meal when you're near the Arboretum area! They have seating downstairs and upstairs but water cups are only available downstairs so make sure to get those before going up. Utensils are available upstairs. read more

Great sushi spot! The size of the sushi was beyond what I was first thinking of. We ate at the upstairs section at this sushi restaurant. Quite small, which didn't bother us at all. Had a very hidden spot vibe which we loved when it involved delicious sized portions. Everything was very well presented, including the restaurant people and sushi chef. read more

The Food was very good. the ambiance is a small restaurant and a few tables in the restaurant and some nice artwork in the restaurant. the service was very nice it was our first time in the restaurant and they were very nice and gave us a discount as we looked on the menu on the website on the Chicken Teriyaki being 9.99 it was actually 13.00 we were shocked that the menu on the website is not correct so it is best to check the menu in the restaurant read more

Such a cute little spot! While walking around the Arboretum, I stumbled upon Hanara and decided to give it a try. Our order came out quickly, and as a huge bulgogi fan, I had to try the bulgogi bento. Safe to say, it's now one of my favorite bulgogi spots in Austin! Since I live nearby, this will definitely be a nice treat every now and then. read more

Hanara is a small sushi grill with a big personality and awesome food. I ordered the Samurai Roll, and it did not disappoint. Substituting sweet potato for cucumber is genius. Also, i don't think I've ever had a roll this thick before. I highly recommend this petite two story restaurant, which is nestled between ArtUS Co (Austin's CoOp Artist workspace & and gallery) and Amy's Ice Cream (another Austin original) near the oversized outdoor chess board. read more

Great spot for Japanese food. Small place but lots of outdoor seating at the arboretum. Lots of options on the menu.

This has been one of my favorite places since I was 13 years old. The service is always fantastic but today was special, they gave us gyoza on the house! I've never had a bad experience here in the 10 years I've been coming. Totally worth the price, nothing on the menu will disappoint. read more
