This place has a high rating for happy hour, and I can see why! You do have to walk through a couple of other restaurants to get here, which feels a little sketchy at first, but once you're inside, it's a small spot with a cool vibe. I'd definitely recommend making reservations. Drinks: The green tea shots are to die for! The 1 Inch Punch, however, tastes like cough syrup. The kiwi daiquiri was perfect, but the Kitsune Kiss wasn't worth it. Food: The Kodama salad was delicious, especially the cashews and garlic vinaigrette. The pork gyoza had a surprising kick but was still good. The Tori Katsu was a disappointment. You expect a crispy piece of fried chicken, but it was so heavily sauced that it ended up soggy. All the sushi rolls were good and came out very quickly. The chicken wings were also tasty. We tried the Yuzu Lemon and Honey Sambal flavors, and both were good options. Overall, this is a great happy-hour spot with a fun atmosphere, good sushi, and a few standout drinks. Just be selective with your food and drink choices! read more

This was one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. We waited over an hour and a half for food that never arrived, and ultimately had to cancel part of our order. The restaurant promoted showing the World Cup match, but the viewing experience was extremely disappointing. Despite advertising the event, there was only one television in the entire restaurant showing the game. Several tables ended up watching the match on their cell phones because they couldn't view it from their tables. To make matters worse, the remainder of our food took nearly two hours to arrive. Between the excessive wait times, the canceled order, and the poor event setup, the overall experience fell far below expectations. read more

Happy hour all day on Sundays!! Pretty nice ambiance & music the music is great but a little too loud. specialty drinks, great small bites I was kind of skeptical about coming here because of the reviews, but to be honest with you the service was great. Our host was Jeremiah. The environment was super cool. We enjoyed our drinks and we will definitely return. read more

The anime vibe in this Japanese restaurant and bars is super cute. Thanks for a great hangout spot with friends as they have large tables outside on their patio. Also makes for a really cute date night however, I would call ahead to see if you can make a reservation or you may risk waiting in line. Obviously this is a very popular spot for food and drinks and having a good time. They also have a DJ on Fridays and Saturdays. I came when they still had a reverse happy hour, but rumor has it. The food and deals are so good that they're just gonna go ahead and do away with a reverse happy hour. Roco and Nick did a great job taking care of me at the bar. read more

Still one of the best Happy Hours in town (all day Sun & Mon). My friend and I met up last night at Hanzo and indulged ourselves with the "Punch Drunk Love", "Spicy Pineapple Daiquiri", "Rhubarb G&T", Garden roll, Spicy Edamame, Agedashi Tofu, Pork Gyoza, and Cucumber Salad. Food and drinks are still delicious. Servers were friendly and worked together to cover a full house. Drinks came out slower as restaurant filled up, but that's to be expected. Best to come earlier for HH, by 5-5:30. Interior is always spotless. read more

Hanzo - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I like that they're open late. I believe last call for food is around 11:30. I feel the food was hit or miss. The miso soup, while very hearty with lots of tofu and seaweed was extremely salty. The chicken katsu sauce was too sweet for my taste. The cucumber appetizer was extremely vinegary. Otherwise, the sushi and my friend's ramen were both very good. Service was good as well despite the staff being busy. read more

Cool spot tucked away and a little hard to find at night. Definitely appreciated the late night kitchen as I was getting into town late. Great service at the bar and good drink selection.

Hanzo - Sashimi and a roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

10/10 food, service and restaurant. We went on a saturday night and the vibes were great, loved the low lighting as well perfect for a date night. Food was very flavorful in my opinion, i loved the sauces specifically paired with the roll & edamame. Our server was attentive and friendly, my only reason for not giving a 5 star is portions. $7 for two spring rolls cut in half to seem like 4 just seemed a bit expensive for me but nonetheless still super delicious! Will be back again :) read more

I forgot to take pictures! We got the rolls, ramen and edamame. We got 4 different rolls and they were all spicy! Beware that the spice level is high... this place is known for drinks likely. It's super dark and loud. Lots of anime on TV if you're interested. Food was decent, I enjoyed the ramen. It is on the smaller portion. They also have a good happy hour menu. Service was adequate, nice waiter. Would be back when in area. read more

Hanzo - Menu - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I used to love coming to Hanzo, so tonight was really disappointing. The service has always been on the slower side, but I've never had an experience this bad. It took about an hour for our food to come out, and our gyoza appetizer didn't arrive until after our entrees. Our server didn't communicate anything about the delay until after I finally complained. To make matters worse, we found a hair on one of our sushi rolls. They did comp that particular roll, but we had three rolls served together on the same plate, and after finding the hair, we obviously didn't feel comfortable continuing to eat the rest. We ended up leaving about half of the other two rolls untouched, but were still charged for them. I've enjoyed Hanzo in the past, which is why this experience was especially disappointing. Between the hour-long wait, lack of communication, appetizer arriving after the meal, and the hair in our food, this was by far the worst experience we've had here. read more

Great little cocktail bar with Asian fusion. They just did a menu change so a little different than what it's had for the past year that I recall. Still a couple vegan options. I got the garden roll and fried tofu without the spicy mayo. Miso soup on point as usual. There's a brussel sprouts veg bowl with a yummy sauce I like too. The avadashintofu is no longer on the menu but they made it for me anyways. Seems like servers aren't too familiar with new menu yet because they kept running to back to ask chef what was in certain items or any questions about what the sauces were. Overall best little spot especially during happy hour. They have it twice. read more

Hanzo - yummy bites & friends 3 - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I just recently learned about Hanzo, but I wanted to go because of their reverse happy hour. I met a friend and we got there just as they opened for the night. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and has a very chill, calm vibe. All the employees were very attentive and we had several check in throughout our visit. The happy hour drinks and food gave enough variety and were delicious. I had the wings with the popular house sauce and the gyoza. To drink, I had two spicy jalapeño daiquiris and they were balanced and delicious. I would definitely recommend Hanzo for after work drinks and bites. I will be coming back and you should too! read more

Hanzo is one of our favorite date night spots. We've been fortunate to get a table almost right away most times that we make the trip out. The atmosphere is unmatched - cozy, modern, and plenty of art and anime to look at. They have screens showing anime and movies on opposite sides of the restaurant. Onto the food. Highly recommend the twice fried wings - we love the yuzu lemon pepper flavor along with the side of Lon Lon ranch. The sushi selection is great too - my husband loves ordering the dragon roll. I ordered ramen the last time we stopped by. I felt that the individual components of the bowl were great but I think the tonkotsu broth is a little too rich to really "bring it all together". I think they'd benefit from offering a shoyu-based broth. The menu is changing so they are doing away with the bao board which is disappointing! But always looking forward to what they'll come up with next. Definitely check this place out :) read more

I would highly recommend Hanzo for a night out with friends or even date night! My friends and I came on a Friday night for happy hour and had a reservation. There is no host table and you seat yourself so I highly recommend making reservations if you plan on coming on the weekend because they tend to get really busy. Service is decent, however it does take a while to be acknowledged after sitting down but food/drinks came out fast after that. Our waiter also made it very easy to split the bill 6 ways when some people ordered certain things for themselves. There is a nice patio outside and they do play movies or games inside for entertainment. There is a small parking lot in the front but a bigger one hidden in the back. We ordered almost one of everything off the Happy Hour menu and enjoyed them all! On top of that, everything is super affordable for HH! My favorite things were the *agadashi tofu, *pork gyoza (not pictured), and the *nigiri. I got the 'One Punch Love' cocktail off the HH menu and thought it tasted like sweet fruity champagne. I probably would not order the spicy tuna roll again as it was drowned in too much sriracha mayo. Just a warning, the spicy edamame is also very citrusy which was okay but a bit unexpected. For affordability and the vibes I would definitely come back to Hanzo again. read more

Hanzo is located in Alamo Heights and has Happy Hour all day Sunday, Monday & Tuesday- Saturday 4-7. I've dined here two times and it was night and day from the first visit. The atmosphere is great, drinks are great and food is mid. My first visit I ordered one drink, dumplings and a sushi roll. Service was decent and enjoyed the happy hour prices. My second visit was a terrible experience. I know it was busy but the server dropped off a menu and never returned. I asked another server for water and it never came. I decided to place my order at the bar and kept having to bring my drink/food items back to my table. Didn't mind that but would've been nice to know that from the jump. Overall, it's a nice spot to enjoy HH for a light bite but service is hit or miss. Peace. read more

Hanzo was a very nice find for my wife and I. It's in the middle of a small business complex but it kind of adds to the ambiance of the whole experience.

Go for the drinks, vibe, and live music if on the right night. Food is ok. My ribs were sooooooo frickin tenderrrr, but oh so salty. So, I'm hoping it was a one off. We got the spicy tuna roll and fish's texture was too mushy for me and kinda of room temp. My second time getting sushi. I wouldn't get again. Loved the guy performing that night...Joshua Summey. Cool voice and interacted nicely with the crowd. Love the outside area. Inside is cool and vibey as well. They have reverse HH starting @ 10 pm read more

Hanzo - Tried the ribs tonight. A tad salty but tenderrrrrrrrr! - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

This place is one of my favorites when in SA. We came for a midday Saturday happy hour (3-7pm) and were able to grab bar seats. The low lighting set the perfect ambiance, and conversation among the establishment wasn't loud. For drinks, we had the spicy pina daiquiri and rhubarb g&t. Both were very refreshing, but the daiquiri stole the show! For starters we had the firecracker shrimp, which were hot, crispy and served with a perfect sweet chili sauce. For main entrees we had the sticky ribs and tempura shrimp roll. Both were really good. They also have HH all day Sunday and Monday! read more

I came here with a friend for happy hour and we ordered two appetizers and some sushi. The food was excellent! Really good sushi and a great price. The happy hour prices are very reasonable. I love the setup of the bar too! Plenty of outdoor seating, cool ambiance indoors, clean restroom, and plenty of parking. Hanzo manages to create a cool downtown kind of vibe outside of the inner city. I definitely want to come back again soon. read more

Have I been living under a rock or how come I didn't know about this awesome place? My friends and I were looking to go out for drinks and one of them suggested Hanzo. We got there towards the end of their happy hour and the place was PACKED. Their happy hour is all day on Sunday and Monday, 3pm-7pm on Tuesday - Friday, and 5pm - 7pm on Saturday. Their happy hour includes both a drink and food, which makes sense why the place was packed. For my first time I decided to go for a bottle of wine and ordered a couple of their happy hour appetizers. I think from everything we ordered my favorite was the pork gyoza and something I would not order again is their spicy tuna roll. The pork gyoza were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The spicy tuna roll was topped with some sort of sauce that made it very sour. The menu says it's siracha but I highly doubt that is what they used. Overall, we had an amazing time and the staff was fantastic. I would definitely come back for happy hour and check out some of their other food items! read more

We went to Hanzo for sushi and chose to sit outside. The patio was a really nice setting, tucked into the middle of a building complex, giving it a cozy and hidden feel. Unfortunately, the overall experience was mixed. My wife had been looking forward to something she saw on their menu online, but when she asked about it, our waiter acted like there had never been a larger menu. Later, we overheard another server explain that they had to cut their menu down significantly, which made more sense, but still, it left us with fewer choices than we expected. To make things more limiting, the first thing our waiter told us was that they were out of four different menu items. We decided to order a few sushi rolls. Oddly, we were asked to provide a credit card right away, which felt unusual for a dine-in meal. When the sushi arrived, it all came together on one plate, even though multiple people had ordered different rolls. That said, every roll we tried was fresh, flavorful, and very well-prepared, the highlight of the visit for sure. When it came time to pay, we were not given an itemized receipt, so there was no way to confirm the charges or see if any fees were added. Overall, the sushi itself was great, but the combination of the limited menu, awkward service, and lack of transparency with the bill makes me hesitant to return, unless it's just to grab sushi to go. read more

This is a pretty cool spot in San Antonio. You would drive right by and never know it is there. It is tucked into a little courtyard of a small commercial building. There is a big patio seating area in the cozy courtyard. The inside was dark with an Asian flair. There are TVs on both side of the room with a large wraparound bar in the middle. It is a dark and cozy space with a lounge feel. It was crowded and a little bit louder than I prefer, but nice. I sat at the bar and was greeted by Matthew. Nice guy and an artist behind the bar. He walked me through the drinks and the sushi. I settled for their Asian old fashioned. It was a decent drink with an Asian flair. It had regular ice rather than craft, but it was a good drink. I ordered the Dragon ball roll, the fire breathing roll and the 210. All were delicious and presented beautifully. Matthew asked if I wanted another drink. I said sure show me something and let him go to work. He came back with a miso caramel bourbon drink on craft ice with a lemon twist. It was perfect. It was his creation with hand made mixers. On point. Great place. Absolutely worth it. When you find a creative bartender sit back and let them create. Thanks Matthew. read more

Heads up u can sit where ever u want !!! Waiter well.... i will give him the benefit of the doubt bc he was also serving this loudest drunk bday party table (oh but i was living for their tea... honey that bday was spilling her lore) so yeah we just didn't get a chance to hear recommendations but this is where idc like EVERYTHING is so so so good! and SO WELL PRICED.. honey we will be returning and its kinda hidden so as my fav queen likes to say "THIS IS A HIDDEN GEM" forgot to mention we went during happy hour but things were already cheap in the regular menu! Sake bomb 3.50$ got meee gooood and only way i drink beer! my friend got a mock tail and loved that they had options for them to drink! they said " oh they keep it juicy juicy" and well yes! food: i got like edamame and yeah, they were a little bit too limey it was ponzu, but I didn't mind it was just different. Next time I will be definitely trying the spicy version. got the happy hour 210 roll and honestly, that stuff was really spicy so the Serrano got me good. also got fried egg rolls the pork and honestly were not my fav but i would skip next time. Next, I also got the Bao platter pork belly and chicken curry and it was so yummy only wish the pork belly was a bit softer and not like crispy as the fried chicken ! but still super yummy. will come back to report about the cocktails and other sushi rolls! read more

Hanzo - Hashira martini, hanzo daiquiri - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Service was absolutely awful and not because it was busy, our server (Night B.) prioritized other tables and literally left while two of our three people were activity ordering I'm not exaggerating. Also he barely showed up to check on us and was rude from the start when I asked how his day was and he complained about having to close two days in a row. I also had to order gyoza 3 times before it showed up. I understand it's busy but all he did was complain about his job never smiled and took forever on orders. Drinks are eh so many places are better for cheap like double standard or merci jones. read more

Happy hour is a really good deal. Good selection of drinks and food on the menu. The lemon pepper wings are crispy. The tofu dish and cucumber salad is good. The ribs are so tender and pull right off the bone. The potato salad that comes with it is horrible. It's just chopped potatoes and vegetables. No "binding" agent like mayo or something. The edamame with lemon pepper is unique and good. The foxtails are nice. Food comes out fast but our waiter just kinda forgot about us and we needed more drinks and he just never came so when he did we just got the check because the moment had passed. It's a great after work or date spot. Dark and low lights. But also pretty lively. read more

Came here on a whim, and arrived 2 minutes before opening. Within 15 minutes, the restaurant was full!! Therefore, highly recommend setting a reservation or coming early. This is a great place for drinks and snacks. This restaurant carries a smaller menu featuring more sushi and finger foods. The drinks were strong, yet tasty. I enjoyed the dimmed lighting and opened layout. Overall lovely atmosphere, great place for dates or catching up with friends. The food - great. The drinks - great. The venue - great. 10/10 read more

My friends and I used to love Hanzo because they have great happy hours and amazing drinks. The service could be hit or miss but we are never mad about it since it's great to see they are busy but sometimes restaurants can be short-staffed and get overwhelming which is understandable. However, the last visit we had which was on 3/30/26 was quite a letdown. Of course, they were busy so I service was slow but we understood that. The drinks were still amazing and the same as we like. The huge change that was hard to miss was the quality and portions changed significantly. We always sashimi and ramen noodle every time we go there. This time we had to return one of two yellowtail sashimi (I wanted to return both but felt bad to do so). It looked like a scrap. It's really bad. I wish I had a picture of it. It basically looked like small pieces of yellowtail that they piled it up and called it sashimi. The one we kept wasn't much better but at least they were somewhat tolerable. The size of each piece of sashimi is roughly a quarter size and not thicker that 0.5cm. I won't call that sashimi. It's sad to say that I can get a better quality and amount of sashimi when I go to all-you-can-eat places. The ramen noodle size was cut in half. It used to come with nice chunks of pork belly, not anymore. They are small, bite size pieces of pork instead. It also doesn't come with Menma (Pickled Bamboo Shoots) which was used to be in there. However, it still tasted amazing though so we ended up ordering 2 orders of the ramen noodle bowls in order to get the same amount we used to get but now we had to pay double. It's sad when you go to the place often, order the same things all the time but receive something differently. It would be nice if they increased the prices but still keep the quality and portion as it was. read more

There are so many things that stand out in Hanzo and that make it a worthwhile visit, that I decided to list them in order of popularity for me: Food: I have visited Hanzo more times than I can count. The menu has changed a bit from when I first started to now. This time around I had the steamed edamame $5, which was a fairly large portion and pork bao $9. They were both fairly good. Some of my friends complained that the bao was cold, but I had no issue with either of these items. In fact, I have always found their food to be pretty appetizing and delicious. Happy Hour: Hanko has two, a regular one, all day Sunday and Monday; 5-7 Tues - Sat, and a reverse one that starts at 11pm until closing. Drinks: Artisan cocktails with a twist that are creative, enjoyable and good. So far, my go tos are the Punch Drunk Love $6, which is a vodka fruit infused drink and the mojito $10. Anime: There are two screens playing anime all night long. It gives the place an interesting look and feel. Location: Outstanding location in the Alamo Heights area, but what makes the location stand out is that is it hidden in a small one story building, which reminds me of dr. offices. Ultimately, Hanzo is one of the places I will revisit without an issue and that has great food, drinks and atmosphere. For sure, one I truly recommend. read more
