I love this place for their late night happy hour! They have good cocktails and sushi along with some shared plates. It's really cute on the inside too, they always have anime playing on the projector! The only thing is, sometimes, it's hard to find seating. It's a cool place to enjoy some drinks and apps! read more

Let me start off by saying I've been in the service industry and now my own business. Jordan is a breath of fresh air here at hanzo !

To the owner you have a great spot here I will be coming back and spend good money here! Hire more ppl like Jordan ! Also maybe a feature once a month special , a new app a new roll or something to keep things freah and new ! read more

I've been here multiple times but tonight was the worst service. Bartender took forever to acknowledge I had sat down and I saw another customer experience the same. The two bartenders were constantly on their phones and just chatting with each other. My Jetsam roll lacked flavor even with shoyu and wasabi. Took forever just to get someone's attention to close out my check. Unfortunately this seems to be a common theme amongst restaurants and I assume that's why they are failing. Not worth the price to eat out anymore. read more

We arrived about 5 minutes after the posted opening time of 4:00 p.m., yet the doors were locked and staff refused to open them for service, despite clearly seeing us. read more

I've been to Hanzo before this experience and I absolutely loved it. The wings are incredible, edamame, egg rolls, sushi, drinks, and the ambiance are all great. Service is hit or miss. This trip was a miss. The ramen was absolutely disgusting, I was really disappointed. The broth was not rich, or even warm, the egg was cold in the middle, and beaten to hell on the exterior. The pork belly was great but I couldn't take more than two bites. Save yourself $13 dollars and skip it. read more

Such good happy hour! Shrimp tempura roll is my favorite. All the staff and bartenders are great. Cute ambiance inside. Small happy hour menu, but still good. The veggie rolls are oily, do not recommend. read more

Hanzo - Drinks: Punch drunk love, stop Collin me Shrimp tempura roll Garden roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Figured to give Hanzo a try, being theyre one of the few places that have happy hour until 7p. Really enjoy the vibe of the place. It was a little loud but not too loud to where you can't have a convo or enjoy the music. Can't stand going places and I'm constantly re-enacting Dave Chappelle as Lil Jon. "Whaat?!?...Whaat?!?....Oookkkk!!" There is outdoor seating available as well but you have to be a special type of person to be sitting outdoor anywhere in San Antonio these days. Happy Hour specials are legit. Ordered (several) sake bomb(s) and the Mrs ordered the Punch Drunk Love. It looks "fancy" but that drink was done well. The name says it all. Also, had the happy hour Old Fashioned because that usually how I rate a bartender. OH-FISH-AL!!! Our server was great. She checked on us regularly without being interruptive. She offered insight on menu items and just was overall a nice person. We kept it light with a few of the happy hour bites. Tried the pork gyoza, firecracker shrimp, and the spicy tuna roll. All were great. The presentation could've been better for the food but that just me nitpicking. Sorry no pics of the roll. By the time it came out we were well into the happy of happy hour and was getting to it. Great visit, great experience, great spot. Will definitely be returning. read more

I showed up to Hanzo on a Thursday night for some drinks! I was quickly greeted by the staff and seated. I really love coming here because of the chill vibes on the outside patio. I waited a couple of minutes for Happy Hour to start at 10pm. Such a great concept! I ordered up some drinks from their wide variety and enjoyed the night. All in all, it's a great place to meet friends, catch up on things, and drink some tasty beverages! read more

Local Japanese gastro pub. Part of the Mahoney Bars inventory; located in Alamo Heights. Happy Hour is BANGING! Not bad prices and app selections. The din though? Oy vey, you can hardly hear yourself think. Cocktails are strong and flavorful. Took a VERY long time for two vodka drinks; a vodka soda and a vodka gimlet. Didn't order off the happy hour drink menu as all the choices are super syrupy and sweet. Apps are good but tonight they were def overcooked. Too bad as I think the food is pretty delightful here. Didn't snap any food pics this time so I've got nothing pretty for you this time. Lots of outdoor seating as well. A great neighborhood addition. read more

Okay so, if I could give this place 10 stars I would. The food The vibe The staff Are alll amazing, this was only my 2nd time visiting & I swear I meet people who seem like they could be Your forever friends. Pro Tip. You have to order the wings with both sauces on the side ! The wings come out so crispy and juicy. & the sauces they have are super flavorful. I had the Ramen also but being that I'm kind of a Ramen snob it was underwhelming the favor of the broth was delicious but the noodles they use are very starchy so I didn't enjoy that. But you have to order the Gyoza no matter what you decide read more

I will sadly have to write a bad review. Our server, male with a ponytail must be new because I have never seen him before and he is terrible. I asked about the Bao Board and asked about the Curry Chicken. He said the Chicken was bad and that he personally only liked Pork. Well as the customer I don't eat pork. I asked for the Chicken wings and wanted them to be extra crispy. They can't do that. The wings are pre-made. What? Gross and why can't they stay in the fryer a bit longer to be crispy ? Oh because they are probably microwaved. After this I was no longer excited to eat. At least have servers that pretend to like the menu and actually like serving. This guy acts like hates his job and is bothered that I am asking questions about the menu. He ignored us most of the service. Super disappointed. Also the emo girl with the baby bangs is terrible and has a huge attitude problem. read more

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

We came on a Sunday, and found that they have happy hour all day on Sunday and Monday. The waiter was really nice, the ambiance is great. The noise level in the restaurant is just right; you can have a conversation at a normal tone of voice and not have to worry that the people at the next table are listening to everything you say. Also, we only ordered off the happy hour menu. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. read more

Went back again to my favorite bar as I heard they updated the menu. Inside is a bit dimly light and loud but you can still have fun! You can see the same two big screens that'll show some classic or new anime on the screen, unless there's a sports event going on. The staff is still great and attentive when it comes to ordering and helping you pick some items on the menu. The new menu has new drinks and added a mocktail section for anyone who doesn't want to drink. The menu follows a theme if you want to take a guess at it. I ordered the Summer Sukuna drink with a chicken Katsu curry. Best thing I could have ordered. The drink is fruity but is accompanied with a smoky rosemary that entices your senses. As for the curry, best thing they could have added! I was sad when they took away the Tori katsu bowl, but having this and more options to the buns and sushi menu made me so happy! The place added more variety with great tasting food options. At the end of the night, I ordered an Usagi's Day off drink (mocktail) and it was the perfect drink to order for me. Enough to sober me while still feeling like I was drinking with my friends. Overall, great experience to try the new menu! Come check it out while you can! read more

I came out here for happy hour with some of the boys a few weeks ago. The atmosphere was decent, but the food was mediocre, and the prices were steep for the food quality. I'm saying this even though someone else picked up the tab for us that night. The happy hour appetizers probably only tasted ok because of the alcohol we consumed. Everyone else in the group seemed to love that place, hence, why they chose it. Maybe it was an off night for the kitchen, so I'd at least give it another chance. read more

The vibe is super fun and intimate here! Sushi is just okay. They don't offer soy sauce (at least they did not for me). Rice is a bit too heavy and not seasoned. The bao wrappers are probably not made in house. They fall apart when you open them up. Baos are also pretty bland, we ended up dipping in the sushi sauce. Drinks were amazing and staff was nice. I'd came back for drinks and hangout, but will eat before hand! read more

I went to Hanzo for the first time this past Tuesday to meet a friend for some drinks after work. When I first arrived, I saw the sign for it but didn't directly see the entrance as its a bit hidden being in the middle of the complex. Luckily, I found the entrance easily enough after a minute or two! Once inside, I noticed it was darker than I expected but had a nice ambiance. During the week at least, it was seat your self so we chose to sit at the bar. The menu is done via a QR code and they had a great weekday happy hour and a wide selection of beer, wine and cocktails. The menu shown via the QR code is very different than the one I had seen online before arriving. The bartenders were very friendly and happy to help make drink suggestions. The bartender we chatted with even helped us pick a place for dinner as we wanted something a bit different than what was offered on the menu. We ended up settling on cabernet sauvignon and a Nat 20 which is a cocktail from their Hanzo House menu. The Nat 20 has Jameson, Creme De Banane, Strawberry and lemon - it was excellent and perfectly sweet! I would definitely come back! read more

I got two different sushi rolls, both were spicy and very tasty . I also had the twice fried wings, edamame, and gyoza. I really enjoyed the appetizers. I like sharing the apps with my friends and having many to choose from. Food is quality, atmosphere is lively. Service is fast and friendly enough. I want to come back and try the bao buns. read more

Came last night with coworkers. Parking was difficult to find. You can either park in the front or the back and the restaurant is hidden from the streets. I parked in the back and walked on the path way that passes Frederick's. Hanzo is open seating so you can sit wherever you want if the place isn't full. We sat outside because it was quite crowded even during the rise of COVID. We came in time for HAPPY HOUR, but the selections for food were very limited. We got the midoriya margarita, special spring roll, tori katsu, fire breathing house rolls, and water breathing house rolls. The midoriya drink fell short from my expectation. I love the midori liquor so I was expecting a subtle sweet melon and citrusy flavor from the midori and bauchant liquor. What I received was mostly a lime margarita minis the salt. It wasn't as strong as it could be for a margarita either. Although it felt short from my expectations, it was still a refreshing drink to have in this SA weather. The special spring roll was not too impressive nor special. It's basically a spicy pork spring roll with enough kick for Americans. Stuffed pretty well and perfectly executed in the rolling and frying, but the filling fell short for me in flavor. It definitely wasn't just veggies, you can definitely see and taste a great amount of pork and see the sliced chilis, but that was all I could taste. It could use soy sauce or even minced ginger and garlic. A bit disappointing to me, but my coworkers loved it. The tori katsu was strange to say the least. Visually, I was expecting the red sauce to be Sriracha sauce, but it tasted more like a sweet marinara sauce. I loved the combination of the sweet and ssvory, warm and cold in this bowl. The cucumber noodles was a very refreshing partnership to the fried chicken katsu. Reminded me of a chicken milanase or milanesa cutlet over a bed of tossed salad. We enjoyed it! Both the fire and water breathing rolls were equally delicious. Most of the heat on the fire rolls came from the serrano peppers with the basic Sriracha mayo sauce. Good texture and good amount for its price. The water rolls were refreshing and lighter in taste. Both seemed pretty basic to me, nothing of a wow factor, but delicious nonetheless. We all enjoyed it. Was disappointed that some menu items were no longer available. Choices are limited during COVID times so it's understandable since staffs were limited too. Our waiter was the only one catering to the outdoor seaters so she was quite busy, but Did her best to serve us. Definitely recommend this place! read more

As per usual.. one of my favorite spots and I haven't reviewed them! AMAZING VIBES!! This is not a restaurant. This is a Bar with great food! Their drinks are pretty great, the ambiance amazing, and the staff is super friendly and chill. Don't be shy with the drinks, live a little try something fun. This is not the place to judge or be judged. Their food... I have mixed feelings. Their menu changes often. For some reason their best entree dishes recently changed. The torikatsu and the ramen were AMAZING! Unfortunately, they took them off the menu. Do NOT try their "bbq" (sticky ribs, bbq bun, or wings) it's not good. Their sushi is GREAT for a bar, their gyozas are bomb, and their egg rolls and edamame are perfect. That's why I come here, to drink and have a great little appetizer. Won't be having a heavier meal until they bring back the torikatsu and the ramen. read more

Loved the vibe ... indoor and outdoor spaces. Laid out well and can fit a lot of groups. The parking is challenging. The service was nice and attentive. The sake options were interesting. The small bites ... rolls and dumplings... were tasty. My only negative is that drinks had to be sent back & remade .. a little more attention to detail would be appreciated. read more

Very good food. Needs better presentation of their food. The bartender did a marvelous job. The restaurant does an awesome job on mix drinks. They do a vodka infused fruit which is amazing. The Sapporo Dark, ahhhh man is good. The twice fried wings, to live for. I also had the sashimi, it was good but not a good presentation of the fish. They could have had a longer plate and dressed it up nicer. Only letting them know so they get more business that's all. They place was very clean and very nice. Definitely will come back again. read more

Aware it was a Friday night- the service was pretty awful. It's seat yourself- and wait 20 minutes to have your order taken. While the rolls were all delicious-I'm not sure about 15 minute gaps between each plating. Maybe a week day service would have a better experience. I'd still give them another chance on the sushi alone. read more

This place is memorable to me because they have anime on big screens; one on each side of the room. Theme drinks and food. The food is mostly appetizers and some sushi. Note to self this place is a seat yourself type of place and if you have a big party call the day before to rsvp. We got here around 7pm and all the tables were taken so we ordered from the bar and scopes the place out until someone was leaving and swarm to their table. Drinks are good! read more

Get here at 12:10. Kitchen is closed. Although advertised as open until 1am. Smh, some bs. Waste of my time and gas. So beware. Posted times is a lie! Edit: Attempted to come again... but I called this time first, guess what.... The lady tells me this time the kitchen closed at 11pm. Yay Another edit: Attempted this final 3rd time, went at like 5pm... GUESS WHAT... "we no longer serve ramen", but it's literally sitting on every menu on their website advertising it. Place is a waste of time. Avoid if you're looking for ramen. read more

It was around 11pm for reverse happy hour when I went to Hanzo. Was greeted with anime on the big screens and nice laid back ambience. It has speakeasy vibes and I ordered the ramen on the menu with twice fried wings spicy. The wings were delicious, though not spicy. Like the sesame they added to the glaze. I do NOT recommend the ramen. The type of noodle they used is not the standard ramen. It was spongy and lack absorbable for the flavor of the broth. Broth was light but I liked the ingredients of mushroom and add egg for $1. The tempura shrimp in ramen was tasteless and was soggy. I really wish they had better noodles :s Hanzo is a chill place for late night food after 10pm and they stop serving food at 12am and stop serving sushi at10pm. Overall, would come again with friends for cocktails and wings! read more

Terrible service! We went in for a late night bite and drink, when I say our espresso martinis were so bad and not at all tasty (so disappointed) before we were looking forward it it all day. The servers never seemed to care about what we needed or wouldn't even stop to hear what we wanted literally continued walking while we were talking to them. 3/10 service and bartenders need a training class on the weekend cause idk what kind of drink that was! read more

Hanzo was definitely an interesting experience! Hidden in a business plaza, this place is a fusion Japanese bar with bites & various Japanese food. Decided to visit on a Sunday afternoon and it turns out it was happy hour all day! They don't have a super expansive menu, so it just shows it's more of a "drink and grab a bite and chill" kind of place. I got an Asahi (they don't have any drafts) and I got the katsu and the pork bun. The food came out relatively quickly -- the food wasn't like AMAZING, but it was still pretty good with bite sized portions. It was nicely priced as well. Overall -- the vibes were great! Great hidden place to grab drinks and a quick bite -- I don't think it's a great place to grab a meal bc it's not a full restaurant menu, but overall it is a place I would frequent again. They also have anime playing on the screens, which was pretty nice. read more

Outstanding food, drinks, atmosphere, service is top tier. Multiple happy hours and all day on sundays.

First time here & met up with some friends for a few drinks! The cocktail list was pretty good, from what we tried, and the sake was so good. It was pretty busy for a friday night but the vibes were perfect. Good/ okay music, and two different shows playing that was definitely a plus. The server was great and patient as we all had separate tabs open. Would love to come again and try the food! read more
