The sushi bar had "tired" looking fish. Nothing above pedestrian maguro - no chutoro and certainly not ootiro. Saba (mackerel) was overly cured and unpleasantly stiff as a consequence. Eel was overly sweet. And the tempura platter was too greasy and they did not prepare the batter properly. The served shrimp and vegetables reminded me of a cheap strip mall deep fried fish joint. Shockingly, they did not have grated daikon radish as part of the tempura dipping sauce - "tentsu-u". We will not be returning. By the way, one should be wary of a "sushi" restaurant where the types of "special" rolls and "maki's" far outnumber the genuine sushi and sashimi. read more

Happily surprised by this spot just beyond my usual parts of the city. I've gone out of my way for pickup, take out, and to dine in at Sushi Hana. The price value, while not cheap, is the most effective I've found in the city cause you get solid portions of fresh, quality fish that is handled with delicate care. They have a few creative, non traditional rolls that my partner enjoys. I usually only get sashimi or the chirashi. When we dine in, I'll check if they have any specials like ankimo Inside it feels like most staged sushi houses. There's a particular type of decor and glassy feel to the interior. Everything is always clean and comfortable. My only complaint is I wish the house salad dressing had a stronger base of soy/ginger and a little less orange/sesame oil. Staff are sweet and quick. read more

I usually don't write reviews but I saw one posted the same day I went, sooo: I didn't get a good look at the fish and my scalp skewers did have a smell, that being said the place was clean and dimly lit but I probably wouldn't order anything that's not sushi. I tried a few specialty rolls and a few simple ones and I was blown away by the flavor and freshness from the eel,lobster,crab, and spicy/smoked salmon and more. a bit on the pricy side wish I would've tried more rolls but nothing about it made me not want to come back, it tasted good and I don't have food poisoning so that's a good day in my book!!! read more

Never disappoints. Sushi is always fresh and the staff is always welcoming! Love to come here for a quick bite. read more

We picked up dinner from Sushi Hana tonight, and honestly, it was a complete disaster. I guess the only thing safe to order there from our experience is sushi -- because everything else was terrible. We ordered the chicken and beef teriyaki, and both dishes were a huge disappointment. The chicken was barely cooked and completely tasteless. The beef was even worse... it was literally unchewable. You'd need a meat grinder to get through that thing. This was definitely a lesson learned. If we ever go back, it will be for sushi only. Maybe. But the rest of the food? Never again. read more

Confused with the negative reviews. This is my go to sushi spot when I'm in Maryland! The women who work there are so lovely and my sushi is always fresh. They also surprisingly have some good inexpensive wine options. My favorites are the spicy tuna roll and salmon avocado roll. read more

The interior of Sushi Hana is amazing. Creative and warm. Service was stellar. I'm not a sushi fan so I chose the ramen with beef. I would describe it as bland. I have had it at other eateries and it was flavorful. My husband had the vegetable tempura and I was grateful for a piece. Overall, I would think there would be a better option in Baltimore. read more

Such fast and nice service, food here is amazing, quiet dimmed lit ambiance, I recommend!

Come here often. Convenient, easy parking, good service. Sushi menu is extensive, and well prepared.

This is our sushi spot and we love it. Carry out and dine in is great. Service is always good and food is always good!

We had Shabu Shabu and Chicken Katsu. Both were good but we need to go back for actual sushi. When we got there at 630 we were rhe only guests. When we left the place was packed - 15 tables. Only 1 waitress but she was fine. They had 3 sushi chefs behind the counter and seem to do a large takeout business. We will definitely go back. A big plus is there large parking lot. Our other favorites lack parking. We also got a free order of edamame for checking in on yelp and enjoyed a bottle of saki read more

Came here early on a Sunday night. The place was almost empty. I got the Yellowtail Don and my husband got the sashimi deluxe. His sashimi consisted of yellowtail, tuna and salmon. My yellowtail had no flavor (I kept putting soy sauce on it thinking it was me) and my husband said his tuna and yellowtail had no flavor at all. There was something very 'off' about our whole meal. We spent $65.00 on this 'meal'. I am praying I don't get sick. I would have been better off going to Whole Foods for sushi. Not only will I never be returning, but I would advise others to avoid this place and save your money. read more

I only had the sushi at this location asks it was decent. It's truly hard to find good sushi in the Baltimore area in my opinion.

the man making the sushi was CLIPPING his NAILS next to the raw fish. We were sitting at the sushi bar and I watched him doing it, I felt like I was going to throw up so I told our waitress. The manager comped one sushi roll, we still paid for 2/3 of our meal. Horrible. EW YUCK. read more

Best sushi I've ever had. I came here at 8:30pm on a Friday night with my friends and it was still crowded. We were immediately seated by the Host and our waitress gave us impeccable service. We started off with fried shrimp and vegetable tempura. The shrimp was unbelievably tender. The calamari was on the crunchier side, and complimented with a tangy, sweet sauce. A cute, young sushi chef made our Dragon roll, and I was suprised at how tasty it was. The rice to eel ratio was perfect and melted in my mouth. Next, we had Salmon sashimi and Tamago. The raw salmon slices were extremely high quality, I've never experienced such a desirable chewing texture. The tamago was exactly what I hoped for; sweet and fluffy. The Dragonball roll was completely fried and stuffed with shrimp and veggies, I loved the contrasting textures. The I Like It roll had a prominent flavor of real crab which I appreciated, I kept going back for more. The Mango roll caught me off guard, it had the most complex flavor and texture profile which I can't stop thinking about. The sweetness of the cooked mango was paired with salty salmon, and the al dente rice played along with the tempura flakes on top. My favorite sushi was the Godzilla. It welcomes you with a spicy kick but doesn't overwhelmn the supporting ingredients. I will glady drive an hour from College Park to come here again. read more

Is Sushi Hana a five star experience? It's always been great when I have gone. I most recently went here with someone after we worked an event and both had long days because of it. We just needed sushi, and we knew SH was a great place to go. I had a spicy tuna roll, a chicken and walnut roll, and some unagi sushi. I don't remember what else was ordered, but our server apparently created or inspired one of the things, and while I can't remember what it was, I remember it tasted awesome. Service was great! Our server was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and recommended a sake to my dining partner who had never had sake, after the one she wanted was sold out. My favorite thing about SH is how large the piece of eel are when you order unagi. It never feels like you're getting ripped off, more like you're ripping them off. read more

This sushi is hands down the best sushi I have had in Baltimore and DC. I have always had prompt and helpful service when going here. The fish is always fresh, and they provide a wide variety of rolls. This is my absolute go-to place when I am in the Baltimore area. My favorite rolls: Beauty Alaska, Killo roll, salmon bonfire, salmon sunrise, yama roll and paradise roll read more

Couple areas to critique here. Got carry out this past Monday night. Person who took my order advised 20-25 minutes, it too close to an hour. The sushi was by far the most fishy smelling I've ever had and that leads to my rating. I had the worst case of food poisoning on Tuesday, started early morning and ruined a work trip. I typically order from Chiyo in Mt. Washington and tried this location since chiyo is closed on Monday's. Regret my decision! read more

By far the best and most authentic Sushi in Baltimore... I thought I was back in the bay area... I give it 3X the maximum stars

The food is always good here, but they're understaffed and the wait staff (not sure if it's been the same Asian woman multiple times) are frankly very rude and dismissive. Also there are too many tables/chairs and when the restaurant is crowded you'll be packed like sardines. Would recommend for carryout only for that reason! read more

We ordered takeout to share with friends - sushi was delicious . We loved the spring rolls and Shumai. I also ordered chicken Yaki soba for my daughter - it was okay- I wish it was a bit more fried and flavorful but it tasted bland and I wouldn't order again. We will be coming back for the sushi! read more

Good food, quiet, pleasant atmosphere. This is an old neighborhood favorite. There is an area for sitting on the floor if you want an authentic experience . read more

Yesterday afternoon, I got the beef teriyaki and the meat was bland unseasoned not visually appealing. The sauce was thick and sweet but nothing special. I did not like the veggie tempura that much either. Feel like I wasted my money minus the crab rangoon which was not bad. The rest really disappointed me sad to say. read more

Recently tried them again. Used to be our go-to joint for years. Has been a competitor for a while now but our fave spot is takeout only now and I wanted to eat hot food while it was still hot! Food here is usually good. Sushi is better than most places. However the tempura is poor. It's over cooked to the point of tasting burnt and the batter is very heavy. The service is slow, disorganized and lacking customer service of diners over takeout. The last time we were there was before COVID and it was the same story. So can't blame it on that. They lost their mojo years ago and have not gotten it back. read more

Place was okay. We found this spot as we were in the area and wanted a bit to eat. It is located in the lower back corner of the plaza. Lots of parking no site. Staff was not particularly friendly. They did what they had to do - seat you, take you order, bring you your food and check. The Rainbow and Dragon rolls are your staples - can't go wrong with those. I forget the name of the other roll we had but it had shrimp tempura inside with and bbq eel on top, that one was sweet and tasty. The sashimi assorted platter was nothing to rave about. The tuna was a funky red, and they gave the tamago (egg) as well. Considering I am paying for a sashimi platter, egg is not raw fish. I wouldn't be rushing back as there are other better Japanese options. read more

This may be my own fault for ordering gyoza and sushi from DoorDash and having it delivered, but still. I have never had sushi delivered to me in a styrofoam container before. One roll had some spicy sauce on it and because the boxed it all together, the hot sauce was all over the container, tainting my non spicy roll. The Gyoza had ZERO flavor and was practically burnt. Honestly .. I will not be spending my money here again. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I came by myself to get a roll for myself to eat in & a few other rolls to enjoy with a friend at home. I have been here an hour and a half, just received my roll and still haven't heard anything about my carry out order. The waitress didn't offer even a water, and when I asked for one, she came back 30min later. The sushi was terrible, the fish doesn't seem to be refrigerated (i sat right in front of the sushi bar). It was slimy & gooey and way overpriced for what it was. Never coming back. read more

I recently went to Sushi Hana again, because my first couple of experiences were pleasant. Not this time. I ordered a couple rolls as did my friend. My friend got her rolls and I encouraged her to go ahead and start eating - no need to wait for me as I figured my food would be right out. I waited and waited, flagged down the waitress, and waited some more. TWENTY MINUTES later, I asked the waitress what was going on. She asked the sushi chef if anyone was preparing my order. He said no. I told the waitress to cancel my order. The waitress walked by several times and knew I didn't have my food while my friend did. This should have indicated to the waitress that something was up, yet it took them 20 minutes to inquire about it. To top it off, my friend thought the sushi was served kind of warm (I confirmed this - the rice was too hot). After I cancelled my order due to the fact my friend was pretty much done eating, they didn't even offer to comp the side salad that I ordered (and ate - this was the only thing they brought out to me). Needless to say, I left no tip and will never be going back again. Service is extremely important to me, and if it is not consistently good, I will not patronize an establishment. read more

The food here is very good! The wait staff is very slow and unorganized; it is immediately apparent that this was a due to poor management. One person was trying to balance everything in a ridiculous manner while the other wait staff were performing menial tasks and picking their nails and staring into space. In their defense the individuals working the dining area were extremely young and looked like they didn't know what to do because they were receiving little or wrong direction from whoever is in charge. read more

The restaurant used to be an old favorite, but it has plummeted. We went for lunch, they forgot about our order, and it took 1.5 hours to get our food. No apologies or complementary offers were made, even though this was clearly their fault. People who arrived after our party of 3, left and paid their bills before we were served a single piece of sushi. Very disappointed!! read more

When I first heard the name, Sushi Hana, I expected flaming grills and flying knives--you know, like Bennihana. Well, Bennihana this is not. And the food is even better. The sushi is fresh and the rolls are amazing. They also take the extra step to make sure presentation is good, so each plate is a work of art. I swear my plate sashimi had perfect symmetry. I recommend the fried tofu appetizer, sashimi, and fried ice cream. There are private rooms which are always fun if you can reserve one ahead of time. My only complaint is that our waitress was either inexperienced, ditzy, or was having an off-night. She didn't know to clear our table of empty dishes until we asked, she didn't bring water to everyone at the table, she didn't refill our water without us asking, and she never checked on us. read more

I was a little bit held back before I came here cause the rating for this place is so low on yelp, and Chiyo Sushi is so close. But actually our experience was not too bad. We did an take out order so didn't get actual service, but the person who took the order seems pretty friendly. Interior is spacious and intimate, I quite like it, feels more Japanese than lots of other sushi places around. The waiting time for our order is a bit long, at least half an hour. But the sashimi was of good quality and was cheaper than Chiyo, pretty thick cut too. We also got some eel rolls and rolls with chicken katsu inside and eel+avocado on the outside. The latter tastes very special, really crunchy inside but smooth on the outside. We might actually come here more often since their sushi is pretty decent and price is slightly cheaper than Chiyo. read more

Unfortunately, the quality and service has gone way down over the past year. We used to go all the time, both in-person and for carry-out prior to the pandemic. We've done carry-out a few times over the past year, and been disappointed every single time. Once, they forgot our order, and when I came to pick it up, they threw everything together in such a rushed messy way that all the rolls fell apart in the container. Another time, we waited over 30 minutes past our pick-up time and they forgot a few pieces of the order. Just not worth it anymore. read more
