Me and my girlfriend have been coming here for almost three years now and out if all the sushi places in boulder sushi Hana has been by far the most authentic and well made sushi in town. The owners of the restaurant are so welcoming and their service cannot be beaten. Don't listen to the reviews, and give them a shot! read more

You can gauge the overall quality of a Japanese restaurant based on its miso soup alone; miso soup is an extremely easy to make and high margin product for a restaurant that a low quality miso soup means that the restaurant most likely skimps on the quality of their other offerings. The miso soup was heavily watered down - needed either more dashi and / or miso paste to bring it to an acceptable level. I rarely have a good experience with ramen offerings at a sushi place and this was no exception. The "tonkotsu" ramen broth was anything but; it didn't taste anything remotely that would be considered tonkotsu and the noodles looked like it came out of some western version of packaged ramen noodles. The beef "teriyaki" lunch bento was awful. The "teriyaki" sauce tasted watered down and they would have been better off with the 99c bachan's teriyaki sauce from Costco because this sauce was the worst I've ever consumed. I was struggling to taste the components of teriyaki in it. It didn't even have the viscosity of teriyaki either and was this watery mess. The dipping sauce for the potstickers was also some strange spiced anomaly; the sauce that we all know and love isn't hard to make either - it's 1:1 soy sauce and vinegar, and they should have just went with that. The california roll included was ok. It's just overall I feel sad for the folks that live around here as this may be their only exposure to Japanese food and none of it represents anything that could be remotely considered decent. They need to remove the dim sum and ramen options and focus on what they are - a sushi joint. read more

Probably the worst sushi spot I've ever been to. The pork belly Bailey was laughable- dry, paper thin and flavorless. Shame on this place. read more

First Off, the wait time is outrageous. Their max capacity is similar to a school bus. The ambiance leaves much to be desired, and their food is just subpar all around. I would recommend if you want to waste your time. read more

I have a strong feeling whoever reads the online order is visually impaired. I say this because every single time I order online and request changes they never make them and I've even called before to make sure and they said they know but still never happens read more

Absolutely the BEST oysters, so fresh. Loved stopping by here for the first time and getting lunch, and they have wonderful lunch specials until 3 pm. Will certainly be back when coming back to Boulder! Thank you so much Sushi Hana- you rock! read more

We had an excellent experience! Service was friendly and quick. We asked for suggestions based on our preferences, and everything she recommended we loved! We had tuna rolls and also the volcano sushi! Our appetizer was delicious edamame. We were in a rush and were in and out in no time. I loved the atmosphere, and the restaurant was clean and had no smells at all. We will be back for sure. read more

A wonderful and inviting place to have delicious sushi! I got the sushi dinner which included 9 pieces of sushi and miso soup- plenty of freshness and tasty food! The service was excellent and I will definitely return! read more

Sushi in via Dash = A centering evening Fresh and great presentation, even for a delivery order. I have a hard time giving 5 stars for sushi places, they really have to impress me. Overall, I liked all they offer. Wish they offered Uni (my FAV) but I understand with the cost and fragility of it. Picture: Amaebi (Sweet shrimp; tail raw and head fried) Ikura (Salmon Roe 2x) Smoked Salmon (not one of my fav but wanted to taste they way they prepared it) Happy Yelping! read more

The lunch special is a really good deal, and the sushi is delicious. The place is clean and the service is fast.

Love this place! Great food and great environment. The owners are amazing and truly care about their guests. One of my favorites in boulder.

I just recently graduated from CU and after my 4 years being here, I will miss sushi hana more then anything. I feel so lucky to have been able to live in walking distance of the restaurant. I am from the east coast so my standards for good food are extremely high, and sushi hana is one of the only restaurants in all of boulder to be able to reach that. Not only is their food up to east coast standards, but their service is too. Anytime I call in my order, I've never had to wait for more than 15 minutes for it to be ready, even on days when they're extremely busy. Additionally, going to school across the country is very tough as I am not able to see my family, but owners Ivy and Larry felt like my school parents always giving me constant love and support. Not sure what I'm gonna do without sushi hana next year :( this place was my home read more

It's a great hole in the wall restaurant! When you step in the service is top notch and they get to you right away. Their sushi is the best I've had in Boulder and the prices are perfect for a college student. I'll be stopping here again in the fall! read more

Severely disappointed... this was the unagi roll which did not have any unagi... I was hoping to try a different sushi place besides the usual but all of the rolls did not contain almost any fish while still being the same price as the more expensive places on pearl.additionally the quality of fish was not great. read more

High quality sushi and friendly service! This family run restaurant gives off a personable yet professional ambiance. I brought my girl in for our anniversary and we loved it! She got a California roll and fried rice and I got my usual Chicken Teriyaki. We were NOT disappointed. Best Japanese spot in Boulder by far! read more

Worst sushi in town, terrible service. People showed us that we weren't welcome there, do not go!

Best service ever! When I went there, my boyfriend had recently broken up with me. I felt that nothing could soothe the pain in my heart- and that was true for weeks! But then... SUSHI HANA! the miso soup warmed my heart. the wonderful customer service I experienced from one of the female workers was the best I've had in my LIFE! THANK YOU, SUSHI HANA. read more

Sushi Hana is such a cute little sushi spot on The Hill with decently priced food and a variety of sashimi and special rolls. The menu also features some very very good appetizers that I usually try not to fill up on. The service has always been wonderful the multiple times I've been and not only are they fairly speedy but also super friendly. I would say it's worth a try for sure!! read more

My first taste of Sushi in Boulder! The service is quick but that may have been because we were the only ones in at the time. They are speedy to bus dishes and they used a system of marking the menu sheet to order. Because of the sheet, the food come out together and on the same plate. Not a bad concept if you're comfortable sharing things with other people. The spicy is not much to write about. But the wasabi was so on point it gave the heat i needed. The hanarita cocktail is refreshing and has the right amount of lime to orange. I would come again because the people were kind and it has somewhat reasonable prices. It's a little hard to find but it's across the street from Al's. read more

Hana is a great place for a quick bite to eat while you're on the hill. I highly recommend going during happy hour when rolls are 2 for 7 and appetizers are fairly cheap. I recommend the magic mushrooms! Their aioli is delicious and similar to that of Hapa on Pearl. Great service and ambiance in the restaurant! read more

Thought I'd give this place another try. Food is gross, and staff is extremely rude. Scammers. DO NOT eat here. So many better sushi options in boulder read more

I ordered sushi Hana through grubhub tonight because no other place was delivering to my neighborhood. This is easily the worst sushi I have ever had. The rice is stale, the tuna in the tuna roll looked discolored and didn't taste fresh at all. I ordered a tuna makki roll, two pieces of salmon, two pieces of tuna, and whatever the other pieces of fish were that were included with the entree. I've attached the picture of what was left of my meal when I threw it away. Miso soup was decent but for $26.00...I feel sad and hungry. read more

Do not go here. The food you can get at any other sushi restaurant. More importantly they have many safety hazards specifically the chairs. The bottoms are completely rusted. My sister moved back in the chair so we could leave the restaurant and the chair broke on her. Our table was loud yes but beyond that no roudiness much less any that would warrant a broken chair sliding backward. They blatantly ignored any safety concerns and gave us an ultimatum of $50 or the cops. The servers and hosts were very concerned and kind about it but not management. Management even admitted it was the chair and not her but still demanded $50. We offered many many times after it broke to pay $20 or $25. Eventually he offered for us to buy the "$70" chair and bring it back and he'd give us $50. So we'd be walking back with a $20 loss which would be the same as us paying $20. Imagine admitting you're wrong and still forcing a customer to pay for something that's not their fault but the fault of natural processes read more

We always liked Sushi Hana and would pay the higher prices. However the last couple visits were horrible. Our most recent and last visit we waited an hour and 45 minutes. Firming that time our order was taken ) after about 20 minutes) , our order was confirmed, the wait staff spilled our wine on my husband ( and then we were charged for a new glass) , we and we got soup and salad ( we ordered 2 soup and 1 salad, and received 3 soup and 2 salad and were charged for the additional) and got our dumplings after asking again where they were. After an hour my husband got his meal. After another 30 minutes they asked us we wanted the check. We told them we had not received 2 meals. I ordered the soba tempura and then was given Raman my sins sushi order was never submitted. So, after 2 hours we had meals at different times, much of what was something we did not order or more than we ordered and were charged an extraordinary amount. Even with what we ordered I am not certain how it possible Came to the amount we paid. We paid because it seemed easier than trying to dispute. We will not be going back ever. read more

i've never been so uncomfortable while eating dinner. came for my birthday and was treated very poorly. the women working made me feel so unwelcome and watched my friends and i eat from 10 ft. away the whole time. would not recommend. food is decent but the way the women in particular made me feel on such a fun night is something she should be ashamed of. read more

The sushi here is honestly some of the best I've ever had. I'm shocked to see people giving anything lower than 4 stars because this place is seriously SO good. read more

One again this place sucks, scammers again. Terrible. They take your money and do not give correct prices.

I completely overpaid for my meal, the waitresses refused to take responsibility for their mistakes and actions. Handled it like a complete joke. read more

Love this place. We've had delivery using DoorDash three times now and it was great each time.

I ordered lunch from here today on door dash and my food pretty fresh. I ordered California roll and hamachi which came with rice and soup. The hamachi was delicious but the pieces are on the smaller side and the rolls seem to be too. They also left out 2 pieces of the hamachi on my order which isn't a huge deal but it was still disappointing. The price is decent but it's nothing to go out of your way for. read more

I do not usually write reviews and I do not usually complain about much, but I would just like to warn people about this. The sushi at this place was below decent. I don't really care about that, I get that not all places have good sushi. but I was charged two separate prices, both of which were not the price on my receipt. the amount that I was charged was almost twice the amount I should have been charged. Additionally, I was charged for an extra item that we asked to have removed repeatedly and even went to the computer with the server to fix it and he seemed clueless. I talked on the phone with the employees and they were helpful, but it was frustrating to try to fix the situation because they were very confused. Lastly, our server seemed like he was not sober, or something was going on because he was very out of it and inattentive read more

The Good: We went on a rainy Tuesday night and it was very quiet at Sushi Hana on the Hill (I bet it gets busy when the students are in town, and they made lots of sushi for take-out the whole time we were there). We sat at the sushi bar and enjoyed an absolutely delicious meal of sake, sushi and sashimi. The sushi chef, Larry (don't be fooled by the name, he's Japanese!) was fantastic and has been practicing sushi for fifteen years! He plated our meal with attention and care -- we ordered a lot of food and while we were waiting he sent out the (gluten-free) cucumber roll, which was beautifully rolled, crispy, fresh and a perfect and thoughtful appetizer. Our sushi & sashimi arrived thoughtfully plated as well, perfectly arranged for us to share, and he even placed the heavier fish rolls on my boyfriend's end of the plate, and the lighter vegetarian rolls on my side. Everything was tightly, perfectly rolled, the fish was fresh, and I don't know why but their ginger is the best I've ever had, we ate all of it!!! I also loved watching the sushi sensei (I think the owner) watch the sushi chef with a hawkeye--he clearly cares and wants everything to be perfect, and it makes a difference! Also, I loved the music (classic, old-school, upbeat hip-hop). The Bad: Our server seemed inexperienced and was pretty awkward but it didn't detract from our experience too much since we sat at the sushi bar. He brought our bill the second we were finished eating but we still had half a bottle of sake and wanted to relax and watch the chef. The Food: The best meal I've ever had on the hill! (And I've lived in Boulder almost 30 years and lived on the hill for several) The Service: Inexperienced Overall: Check out Sushi Hana for awesome, authentic sushi, sashimi, nigiri & sake. I think it's family owned - support small business! Everything was delicious and lovely and I can't wait to go back. read more

Extremely in polite service over the phone and in person. Went earlier during the week and saw the main server, and possible owner, yell at customers and physically force them out the door. Additionally called tonight before there closing hours and to order pick up and they immediately hung up with at the moment I said hi. read more

Ordered from doordash. The restaurant packaged my sushi directly on top of my hot food so the sushi arrived hot. Yuck! Not to mention my chicken yakiniku was chewy, largely flavorless and just not good. I took like 3 bites and just threw it out. Do waste your time and money on this garbage place read more

Lunch bentos are a decent size, as are their sushi portions! Great for a quick lunch, especially being on the hill.

This place was great. Quick service. Happy servers. Definitely recommend it for people who want a laid back environment and excellent food. Plus the price wasn't bad either read more
