Never been here before and never knew it was around. We all had a great time and enjoyed the sushi. We had an assortment and all was good with a great price. I will definately go back.

Delicious Sushi

by ag2188 at Citysearch

Every piece of sushi is made fresh with excellent quality sashimi. I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered, and it's so cheap!!! Tuna rolls are $4!!

• Pros: Delicious, fresh sushi!! Some of the best in the city!
• Cons: Not the best teriyaki

Great value, great service for sushi

Hana is fantastic value for the money. They don't do anything that is super fancy, but they offer all the standard Japanese fare that Americans expect to see on the menu, and they do it well. From all manner of sushi, to udon, to agedashi tofu, Hana does a quality job of serving up classic Japanese fare. The service is also very fast and unpretentious. Great place to grab a quick dinner and you won't break the bank doing it. If you want fancy, go to Nishino, but if you want tasty, quick and inexpensive, head to Hana.

• Pros: Great value for classic Japanese food.
• Cons: In an unusual spot on Broadway which isn't particularly beautiful.

Awesome Sushi

by jmevans at Citysearch

This is my husband's favorite sushi resturant. We have tried other places in the area, but nothing compares. The great part is here the sushi super tastey but not super pricey. Service is prompt and the staff is friendly. The place may not be the most romantic atmosphere, but the food makes it worth it.

• Pros: Great Food, Great Price
• Cons: limited seating, not great ambience

Best Japanese restaurant in town. Great value and friendly staff.

I eat here at least once a week since it's within walking distance from my home. I've been going here for the past 11 years and it continues to be my favorite restaurant, period. The food (especially the rice bowls) are absolutely delicious and inexpensive. The sushi is much better quality than places like Todai or supermarkets, but even cheaper. The environment is busy and informal, much like you'd find in a neighborhood staple in Japan.

The food is delicious, especially the sushi, Beef Don, Katsu Curry Don, and Sukiyaki. The menu highlights their complete dinners, but the rice bowls and other "ala carte" items are a much better value and often the same food. The Beef Don is the only thing you can get in Seattle that is similar to the beef bowls that are offered in Tokyo in quick-bite joints such as Yoshinoya. (If you've been to a Yoshinoya in the US their food is much worse than Japan's in my experience.) Nigiri sushi can be had for about $1 per piece. They'll prepare rolls that aren't on the menu if you ask (nicely). You can pick up a rice bowl to go for about $5. Seating can get tight on weekends, especially if you have more than two people. My parents (who grew up in Taiwan) love Japanese food and are always complaining about the high prices and needless fancy decorations and formal atmosphere of "good" Japanese restaurants in the US. The countless teriyaki shops around here are too fast-food and don't offer much of a selection, and no sushi. Hana falls perfectly in between, with great food, a full menu, low prices and fast service. My folks absolutely love it, as do I.

• Pros: Great sushi and rice bowls. Low prices. Informal atmosphere.
• Cons: Parking can be tricky on Broadway on weekends and evenings.
