    Dining area

    I arrived a minute before they opened. The dining area was extremely clean, the food tasted wonderful and the service was top notch even though I was early. I will be coming back to try more dishes very soon!

    Coconut shrimp: not enough sauce and too much breading, although the breading was delicious.

    Food was bland. I got the pork fried rice and it had 0 flavor. Husband got the pad Thai, which he liked.

    Sushi Hana Rincon - Angry Dragon Roll

    I would rate the food 4/5- we got a whole squid stuffed with a rice roll and tempura chicken and…read moreveggies. The tempura was great, not too heavily battered or over cooked. I enjoyed the experience of the squid, although it was a bit chewy when we first took a bite of only the squid. But combined with the rice and veg inside, it was well balanced. we loved our server so much. She kept making our daughter (under 1yr old) laugh and smile which made our evening so much easier. The food was pretty good, but she made our experience the full 5 stars. Pricing wasn't too bad, for 2 alcoholic drink specials and 2 entrees we spent about $65, please note the squid entree was definitely what made the bill a bit higher- but we were intrigued by it. They have plenty of affordable options and great lunch specials if you are there during that time

    We tried this new sushi spot for the first time and overall had a really good experience,…read moreespecially for a brand-new restaurant. We ordered two chicken bento boxes, and they were absolutely delicious. The portions were generous and very filling. You have the option to get extra white rice, and if you choose to skip the salad and soup, you can get two proteins for dinner, which we did. We went with double chicken, and it was more than enough food--especially for our first visit. We also ordered six sushi rolls, and while none of them stood out as "mind-blowing," they were all very good and solidly made. The pricing for the rolls felt pretty average compared to sushi spots across the U.S.--not cheap, but not unreasonable either. Our total order (six rolls, two chicken bento boxes, and shrimp tempura) came out to $146, which felt fair for the amount and quality of food we received. The only downside was the shrimp tempura, which was noticeably cold by the time we got home--even though the drive was only about eight minutes. I'm confident it would be excellent eaten fresh, so next time we'll definitely dine in to get the full experience. The restaurant itself looks almost brand new, very clean and modern, and it feels like it was recently built. We're already planning to eat inside next time for a fresher, hotter meal. One thing to note: if you like heat, their spicy rolls aren't actually spicy at all, so keep that in mind when ordering. Overall, this is a really solid new sushi spot with generous portions and good-quality food. We'd definitely recommend it and will absolutely be back--just dining in next time. We ordered on the phone, which was very quick and easy. We were told it would take 20 minutes to be ready.

    Super fun spot to eat! Food was delicious, restaurant was clean and service was friendly!read more

    SERVICE 1/5: no "irashaimase" or even a "welcome in." we walked in and was met with blank stares…read morefrom the waitresses. We walked halfway in and nothing and my husband had to walk directly to a waitress to ask if we seat ourselves. She pointed at the table and grabbed who would be our server. I guess we interrupted her conversation. Our server on the other hand was sweet, however, I had a hard time hearing what she was saying because her voice was so low. We did not have any qualms about our server. She was good. A lot of servers were openly on their phones, specifically the sushi chefs behind the counter. They would stare off into the distance or be on their phones until summoned to make a nigiri. It wasn't necessarily slow, there were quite a few patrons there. When we left there was a young girl at the enterance clearing off a seating chart and not a single person thanked us as we were exiting. Obviously you don't have to be Japanese to run a Japanese restaurant, but at least do the bare minimum of service that is uniquely Japanese. AMBIANCE 2/5: the set up and decorations felt all over the place, nothing was a cohesive design. It's as if they just went to Ross and found anything Asian inspired (not specifically Japanese) and purchased it. FOOD 3/5: it wasn't anything to write home about. I did enjoy the scallop nigiri but it was $6.50 for 2 pc. Presentation of nigiri was wild too, they put 2 nigiri on a 12 in platter lol it's as if they ran out of small plates? The grilled squid was what got our attention to come here and it was ok. It was grilled fine, just the way i like it. I did like that hint of ume or shiso they sprinkled in there but the dish also came at the end, after I've already eaten my entre. It was Iisted as a hot appetizer but came after the entre, so I ate it without any rice. The lava roll was very good and there was an abundance of imitation crab meat on top. The "angry dragon" roll was interesting because they used pink tofu skin, which i thought was unique. Flavorwise, not as spicy as the name insinuates. I did appreciate the water tasted smooth and not like faucet water. COST 2/5: obviously, prices are high everywhere now and on top of that this is a sushi restaurant. We paid $80 something inc tip for miso soup, 3 rolls and 1 grilled squid. I definitely feel it is a little pricey and I'm not willing to pay $40/person when the food is mid and service is subpar. Overall, I'd give this place a 2/5. There were a couple of enjoyable food items, but the lack of basic hospitality, scattered ambiance, awkward timing of dishes, and higher price point made the experience feel underwhelming. For about $40 per person, I expected more than mid-tier food and subpar service.

If you look at the signage, there is a deer. The exterior of the restaurant is very exciting with their displays of bubbles and the fake fish to make it look like a fish tank which is fitting for a seafood restaurant. When you go inside, you are immediately greeted, they also have very Japanese style gocha gocha machines in the back behind the counter. I'm not sure if they're functional or not, but it definitely added to the esthetic. They also had Crane machines to give it a Japanese game center vibe, but it was still rather cohesive. The decorations were great and the ambiance is great. There were kokeshi dolls, Japanese dolls, swords but all tastefully displayed. The setting was very exciting and very clean. Everyone wore uniforms, whether it be a embroidered yukata top or an apron. They looked very cute and very reminiscent of what you would come across in Japan. Service was excellent from beginning to end The food was delicious. Albeit, the selection is not as vast, but the quality was good. I've already accepted the fact that a lot of Japanese restaurants here are owned and operated by Chinese or Taiwanese people and they will have random non-Japanese food on the menu not traditionally served at a sushi restaurant, but you can see that this place definitely respected the culture and added a hint of theirs without straying far away from Japanese cuisine. We also had a very delicious sake that had grits of rice in it, and it was very interesting, very good, but also very strong. My husband and I had to share a bottle. I absolutely loved the kinako mochi with condensed milk. I never thought to put condensed milk on kinako so I would go for that again! My only negative about this place is the bathroom. Incredibly small and not as neat compared to the rest of the restaurant. I feel like the bill for 2 was quite fair considering the experience that we had and the food and service that we received. I will definitely recommend this place and I will definitely come again.

We looked around and happened to stumble on the street this restaurant is located. We looked it up on Yelp (of course) real quick and saw it looked decent. It was about an hour before closing on a Monday night. We were seated right away. I looked over the menu and when our server came we asked if we could modify our order and she said of course, everything was made to order so modification were not an issue. This was great since my son wanted chicken fried rice with no veggies, just chicken and egg. They happily made this for him. I like sushi, sort of. I really don't care for most fish, so I like what I call fake sushi. The sweet potato tempura roll was perfect for me. My sister pointed out the Jack roll and it was again, perfect no modifications needed. I orders were done in less than 15 minutes. Everything tasted fresh. It was some of the best rolls I've had in a long time. The food was great and the service was great. I had no complaints and would love to visit again.

We wanted something nice, quiet and something for everyone (the kid doesn't eat raw fish) We decided to try Sushi Hana. We were lucky to find parking very close by. When we got there, we were immediately greeted at seated. Our server took our drink orders and gave us a few minutes to look over the menu. She came back and we asked if we could modify a dish for my nephew which they were great about! I ordered a couple sushi rolls. The sushi was great! The rolls were nice and fresh and my nephew finished his fried rice with chicken. Everything was great, the prices were fair and the restaurant was minimally decorated but tasteful and elegant. I would definitely return again!
