Everything we've tried here has been delicious. The grilled skewers that are favorites include the bacon wrapped mochi, the pork wrapped dango, the salmon and the chicken.

The staff is great and after a few visits remembers us even though we only go a once every few months. Pro tip: Make a reservation. It's very popular and there can sometimes be long waits otherwise. Especially Fridays and Saturdays.

The bacon wrapped mochi was a tasty treat that we ended up ordering multiple of. The scallops were delicious and so was the eel and mackerel. I cannot wait to return to the restaurant. I also truly enjoyed the yuzu margarita. After waiting in line for the ice cream out front. The window closed abruptly and without any communication to the line of at least 15 people patiently waiting. Very strange and rude. Not sure it's worth waiting 30 min for ice cream to then have the line close without any notice.

My favorite spot to sit at is at one of the high tables for two on the left side of the dining room. We like to sit more towards the back so it's a bit more quiet. My hubs and I like coming here for happy hour and getting two orders of Zangi (fried chicken), two orders of the Pork Chashu Bao, and two orders of the sashimi special (which comes from their connected restaurant Secret Fort). We also like to get the iced green tea for two which comes in a big, beautiful bottle and you can see the leaves floating in it. Thanks for this rec, Gina! If you have room, get the Matcha Tiramisu for dessert--it's light and very delicious. Just writing this review is making me hungry!

There wasn't any immediate, convenient spots to sit but the staff at the store said there was a park nearby. I was blown away with how fresh everything tasted.

The service is consistently fantastic, and the staff is incredibly knowledgeable. If you're a fan of sake and shochu, you'll be in heaven they provide expert guidance on their selections, making it easy to discover something new and perfectly suited to your palate. The bar bites are equally impressive. While the entire menu is great, a few items are essential Sake Kasu Cheese Cod Liver rich and tasty and Takowasa just fantastic. Whether you are a seasoned sake enthusiast or just looking for high quality Japanese small plates, Hannyatou delivers a top-tier experience.

We ordered only from the happy hour menu because they had a ton of good sounding options there. The yakiton came first and was really greasy and black peppery. The yakitori meat was smaller than the chicken skewers I've gotten at Southeast Asian restaurants in the Seattle area, but these ones had a softer texture like teriyaki chicken. The kalbi beef was inconsistent. One of our plates had large pieces, while the other plate was full of small pieces. The smaller kalbi was drier. The bigger kalbi was chewier. I'd stick to ordering kalbi from Korean restaurants where the meat is more tender and easier to eat. The best item we ordered was the crispy chicken wings. They really were crispy - nothing like I've had before in terms of crispiness. Next time I would try the JFC to compare. Something that I didn't like was that they put both orders of the wings on the same plate instead of splitting them up. They split up the kalbi plates, but nothing else. It was ok to combine the skewers because they're so tiny, but the wings were almost falling off the plate they were on and very close to being a bad jenga situation with how they were placed.

At my table, the ratings for food and service were 3.5 and 3…read more We had an assortment of nigri sushi, tempura, adamame, miso soup, a couple of different rolls, sake, and beers on tap. Tempura and miso was run off the mill, some nigri knocked it out of the ballpark such as toro, while other cuts were again standard. The uni looked darker than anything I've seen before and tasted, shall we say, a bit dry and potent. The rolls were okay, one better; the other had a bit of a fishy sub-aroma and was half left-over. Service was lackluster; the guy was a bit spaced out. The miso soup was forgotten, so was another order of sashimi. Also, we re-ordered some fatty tuna nigri but got served something horrible (like a piece of old, lean tuna instead) - here my spider sense was ringing as if we were intentially slipped some other cut ("they wont know the difference"). Or our server or the chef was slipping. Lackluster service and some fishyness gets a 3 star rating - could have been better and fresher. Not likely to return. Ambiance was middle of the road, neither loading ramp nor dark and cozy. They only have tables and counter seating, no booths. Of note, there is a bar across the street where they made a couple of nice after dinner cocktails - the better part of the evening.

Food: I had one of the bento combos and it came with miso soup, a side salad, and a large dinner plate. The first thing that stood out to me was how much of everything came with the bento.

The restaurant isn't huge so I'd imagine it could get pretty packed during a lunch or dinner rush. There a few parking spots out front in the plaza, but also lots of street parking nearby. Price: For the quality and portions of the food, I would say this is a great value. The bento was around ~25 and the roll was ~18 which is pretty standard in 2026
