A couple girls and I went to Hane Sushi for lunch. I'm really particular about the fish quality and etc. the quality as top notch, as if you would get this quality from other high end places for a fraction of the price. I am very impressed with the service (filling my water, sake, even giving me a new napkin seconds after dropping it on the floor). The chef we had was Roger, he is the best! So creative and every bite was bursting with flavor. His hand technique is very impressive as well, he knows what he's doing. We love Roger and this spot! 100/10 -- we will be coming back.
Amazing experience, me and my GF had an amazing time because of this place. The sushi was fresh and the octopus I really enjoyed. Unique and delicious food
IG @allysxn.eats | nice seating and ambiance, right by balboa park! sushi and sashimi was average - pretty fresh but i've also had better. if you're looking for a sushi place nearby balboa park, i would say this is an ok spot and would definitely fulfill any cravings.
The place was packed but they made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. Outstanding experience. The food was delicious. Fresh and tasty. The restaurant is lovely. Very cute place for a date night! We will be back.
Hane Sushi in San Diego delivered one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I did the omakase, and it was truly exceptional. Chef and owner Roger made the entire experience unforgettable -- his skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion for his craft really showed in every course. The quality of the fish was outstanding, incredibly fresh, and each piece was prepared with care and precision. Every bite was delicious and thoughtfully presented. It felt like a personalized culinary experience rather than just a meal. If you're looking for high-quality sushi and an omakase experience like no other, Hane Sushi is the place. I'll absolutely be back.
Where do I even start? My wife and I have been going to Hane since Rogersan 1st opened. The place is very casual and chill. The quality and freshness of the fish is hard to beat. We always sit with Rogersan and just let him take us on a journey of nigiri culinary delights. Sit with any of the itamae's if you want the best experience or at the bar with Jonathan cuz he's always so funny to chat with. Also Rogersan's staff are some of the nicest people.
It's really expensive for the quality of the roll. The itself wasn't too bad but it didn't taste so fresh for some reason, and it certainly didn't highlight the fish. The service was also extremely slow when the restaurant was around 70% full with us getting our first plate around 45 minutes in. In total, it took us almost 2 hours to get the little food we ordered.
Really top-tier sushi. And it's no secret either this place is busy. The family really enjoyed our selections and we split it between sushi and sashimi. My suggestion is to sit at the sushi bar and talk with the chefs. They have a number of tables as well and a very small bar. It's very comfortable restaurant and the owner is very friendly. We will be coming back soon.
We had an excellent dining experience on a Thursday night. The sushi and non-sushi items are delicious. For appetizers, we ordered yellowtail hamacha (neck bone) and the miso chilean sea bass--both were juicy, flavorful and cooked just right. We also had crunchy roll (shrimp tempura), caterpillar roll (eel), and unagi sushi (eel). We enjoyed the salmon tostada (prepared by Chef Roger Nakamura) that was a little hot, yet slightly sweet with the sauce, and very fresh fish. The food was beautifully presented (i.e., avocado slices displayed and layered just so pretty) and very tasty. We also had a sushi combo (which came with California rolls, unagi sushi, and a variety of raw sushi/cooked sushi)--very pretty! We were celebrating a birthday and surprised with a special grilled pineapple slice and ice cream. The service was friendly and prompt; our server was very nice (Japanese lady whose name started with an "H"). We saw at least four sushi chefs behind the counter and a number of servers and a bartender at the bar in addition to a hostess. The place was busy on a Thursday night, with the sushi counter (seats about 14 people) full and just one or two empty tables in the restaurant. Even the miso soup was delicious with tofu, We look forward to another visit!
We came here yesterday for lunch and had an awesome experience; this was my 3rd time here and it lives up to the many positive reviews praising the quality of the fish and the overall dining experience. Here, Chef Roger Nakamura, a protégé of the renowned Yukito Ota of Sushi Ota, showcases his mastery of sushi preparation. Diners can expect to find pristine cuts of fresh, seasonal fish meticulously arranged on handcrafted plates, a true testament to Nakamura's dedication to his craft. We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartar appetizer and sushi combination order (comes with miso soup), perfectly paired with a green tea. Hane Sushi is open and the seating area is an airy, light-filled room. The sleek red and black décor creates a modern Japanese aesthetic, with clean lines and minimalist touches that set the perfect stage for the culinary artistry to come. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. You can book through OpenTable or by calling the restaurant. Dress code is casual to business attire.
Favorite sushi in San Diego! Freshest fish ever, service is always great, quality never changes.
We were in San Diego the day after Thanksgiving & this place was highly recommended by a friend. The sushi was outstanding! Very fresh & literally melted in my mouth. Superb quality sushi. I didn't like the shrimp tempura roll at all. It was placed on a plate and had soy sauce underneath the entire roll which I've never seen before and it was very salty. I only ate the inside part. The service was just ok. They weren't busy at all - yet the female servers acted annoyed that they were working or had to take our order. They both had a bit of an attitude. That being the reason for 4 stars versus 5. The restaurant itself is nice & has a modern design. I would definitely go back when in San Diego.

Okay okay, Hane Sushi was DELICIOUS!! The staff were so helpful, kind, and attentive. We went late night midweek and I know sports are huge here, but the game was blasting and loud pop music kinda made the ambiance off(not bad but) and a bit overwhelming loud wise but even then the 5 stars are well deserved. Only other complaint is the prices cause for similar pricing Azuki has a mor authentic feel and insanely fresh fish BUT again. I actually loved Hane! Thank you to the team, can't wait to be back! We got the double double and spicy salmon. Sorry we forgot to take more pics!!but if you're debating, JUST GO! read more

Hane sushi was recommended to me by a few trusted people, so I decided to try it. Downtown parking is always hit or miss, but we did find parking quickly around the corner. The food was flavorful, and fresh. I really enjoyed the salmon tostada, jalapeno hamachi, and the Yoshi special. The calamari was just okay for me and came in a very tiny amount. We tried a few other rolls like the ceviche roll and to me it was just okay. Customer service was good even though they were really busy. I would say it is a bit overpriced for the amount of food you get, but worth a try to order the things that are worth it! read more
I've been wanting to try this place for the longest and I'm so glad that I did! I would make a reservation as this area gets crowded and the restaurant isn't that big. Servers are all very friendly and the restaurant itself is pretty trendy. As for the food, everything is really delicious, but definitely on the pricy aide. Food review: Sashimi (10/10) It was melt in your mouth delicious. My favorite was the toro. Yummmm! Salmon tostada (10/10) The sauce, the crunch of the tortilla, and delicious sashimi was such a great combo. We ended up ordering 2 of them. Crispy tuna (10/10) Um, yumm! These are a really good portion size and they taste amazing. The crunch was just right on these. Jalapeño brings a nice kick to it. Blue crab handroll (7/10) Apparently they are seasonal so we tried them. They were warm and super flavorful. Great crunch to the crab and really filling! Bluefin roll (10/10) I loved this roll. Bluefin is delicious, the flavors combined really well, the crunch was a nice touch on top. Ceviche roll (9/10) Super spicy! The roll itself though was delicious. I was pleasantly surprised with how good this one was. The jalapeños are definitely on the spicy side and the sauce on the side is also very hot! Double double roll w/ salmon (10/10) The salmon on top was seared and the salmon inside literally melted in your mouth. This roll was everyone's top choice at the table. I'd recommend trying this one for sure. Overall, this place is delicious and definitely worth trying. Be sure to make reservations and note that it is on the pricey side! read more

Definition of sushi grade is high quality fish, and Hane has it! Everything we ordered exceeded expectations. Even the Toro, which we had before at other sushi restaurants, tasted superior than other places, perfect temperature, buttery texture that seemed to smoothly melt on the palette with hardly any chewing effort. Ordered a few oysters, they tasted fresh and flavorful, beautifully presented. We also ordered a cold sake, which was served in a mini ice container with modern esthetic shot glasses. Not a lot of places bring your sake on ice, but it's the little things that make a place standout and make a memorable experience. They also have a full bar, I ordered a lemon drop towards the end because I saw the table next to us order one after another, and it was perfect as a pallet cleanser and great for the hot summer San Diego weather. Service was excellent, the staff was on point, polite, and helpful with recommendations. The vibe seemed to be on the business casual side, tables maybe a little too close to each other, perfect for someone who likes to be chatty and make new friends on the spot. Maybe not ideal for someone who is trying to have a quiet intimate date, unless it's your first date and you're trying to prevent any quiet awkward moments, then you can definitely buffer that by making casual conversation with the neighboring table. As for prices, it was on the higher side, but it definitely matched the quality. The only suggestion I would have for Hane is to provide a complimentary palette cleanser at the end, such as a mini sorbet. Some high end places have this little treat for guests, some even served in a shot glass, and makes a nice little touch to end a dinning experience and provides satisfaction to a guest that their money was well spent. I would overall considered Hane to be a well balanced establishment in terms of food, quality, and service. I would definitely come back and even suggest it to friends visiting from out of town. read more

Trendy, cool and noisy vibe. Had dinner on a Wednesday evening around 7pm and every seat was almost taken. Reservations are recommended. My daughter and I were seated immediately at the bar. The 3 remaining bar stools were soon occupied. For starters, we had the miso soup and the crispy rice sushi. The rest of our orders were the specials for the evening: octopus carpaccio; bluefin roll and salmon tostada. The salmon tostada and bluefin roll were my favorite. Both were flavorful, every bite.. delicious! The octopus carpaccio was my least favorite. It had a chewy, doughy texture, not tender. The pieces were chunkier, lacking the orangy borders of what I am familiar. Customer service was spot on! Hane Sushi & Bar is a cute, little spot tucked in Banker Hill. I would recommend this place for small groups of 2-4, and for date nights! read more
Absolutely love the sushi here! Incredibly high quality fish (which you will pay for) it's so worth it. They have great rolls, hand rolls, and nigiri. It's a super casual neighborhood restaurant with top notch sushi bar. I would love to make this my go-to sushi place if it wasn't for the high prices. Great service! read more

We found this place on Yelp as we were looking for restaurants around Balboa Park. It is very tiny and I highly suggest reservations, we were sat at the bar since we didn't have any. Seats were very close together and and I kept getting bumped into. We only dealt with the bartender and hostess, both super nice and great service. The food unfortunately was just meh. The rolls were extremely overpriced for basic rolls and they were just ok. We pay under $10 for these at other places and here they were closer to $20 and weren't as good. Happy to try a new place, great people and service. read more

Cool sushi spot tucked away into bankers hill. Nice selection of sushi options, definitely some fancy choices here, but for sure on the pricier side. Even the same sakes you'll find elsewhere are marked up higher here. I enjoyed the regular sushi combo that I got which also came with a miso soup. The octopus was actually phenomenal, didn't expect to enjoy that piece as much I did. The California roll was standard as they come. Other pieces like the salmon and tuna were good but not out of this world. The rolls on the menu are unique, but none of them really appealed to me. I'd prefer something like azuki sushi down the street. I found the menu options there more intriguing, the sushi just as good, and the price, slightly easier on the wallet. read more
Came in on a Friday for a lunch work meeting around 11:30am with a few coworkers. Place gets very crowded would definitely recommend making reservations if possible that's what we did for a party of 5. The staff is very attentive, there to answer any questions you have regarding the menu. The quality of the sushi, WOW! Like melt in your mouth type of quality. I haven't had sushi this fresh tasting in a long time. Definitely a little pricey but the quality is there for sure. Totally worth a date night for a special occasion. I'll definitely be back. Keep up the good work! read more
Wow, we had an amazing meal here! Very fresh fish, fast and friendly service and a super cool ambiance make for a great experience. We did only nigiri this time, but it was all delicious. Cocktail was a little weak and mostly ice, for the same price, the wine was definitely the better value. Rolls seemed a little pricy but nigiri and sashimi were reasonable. Would definitely come back! read more

I have been here several times and it is always fantastic! A reservation is highly recommended (call, not able to book online) bc this place gets busy. Theres tables, sushi bar, and regular bar seats. Most recently I sat at the bar so my friends could watch the football game. I usually go for a seaweed salad but unfortunately, theirs is not my fave. Its too soaked in liquid with a puddle at the bottom and it must be vinegar bc its so tart. The miso soup and green salad are other good options. This time I ordered the Del Mar roll which is AMAZING. Its mixed crab on the inside (real crab) and kobe beef on top. Delectable. I also always go for uni bc I love that creamy stuff! That was delicious as usual. Other rolls I recommend are the double double and threesome. Our bartender provided us with superb service and I may just go for a bar seat going forward - especially if there is a wait for a table! This is my go to sushi spot close to home. Yummmmm read more

Hane Sushi is a Must Try. The atmosphere is great, the chefs are personable and the service was excellent. We loved the taste of Everything we ordered. We ordered the Crunchy Shrimp Roll and California Roll and both were so FRESH and good. Also ordered the Rainbow Roll, Belly Bluefin, Hamachi AAMA Collar and Vegetable Tempura for an appetizer. Loved it ALL. read more
