We ordered 2 spicy tuna rolls, 1 miso soup and 1 chicken terriyaki. Everything was delicious and superb! The miserable daughter of this restaurant was astonishing rude, incapable, lazy and nonchalant because she made sure to give me only 1 roll and it was done intentionally. I went to speak to the Mrs. Owner with another one of their daughters- because they all seemed as if they did not care at all- I told them how awful their service was and how rude they all were and that it's shocking because I have never ever met a bunch of miserable, nonchalant, ungrateful people. You lose my business. I don't care how great your food was..... it is never equal to the worth of your rude and nonchalant service given boldly.

Tonight I Had my sister pick up our order that I placed over the phone for 3 tonkatsu ramens (2 black garlic). Been our favorite dish there for a long time and always loved it. After she got home with the order we realized that there was absolutely no chasu (pork) in any of our 3 dishes. I called the store, and asked them about it and they offered an 8$ refund or extras for next time we came in. We live 30 minutes away. Not exactly like we could easily come back and get the pork or a re-fire of the dish, but that wasn't even offered to us. In their website, they charge 3.5$ for extra chasu. So they didn't even offer us the amount they charge for the protein. After discussing this I called them back to try and explain the frustration we had with this and was entirely dismissed by their manager. When I told her they charge 3.5$ for additional pork she didn't even know the cost, and then offered to give me 11$ refund, because I had received 55$/65$ of food I ordered. I didn't though. I ordered a pork ramen, and didn't receive the primary part of that order. If I wanted a vegetable option I would have picked that. She insisted that there wasn't any other option. Food is good, but if they make it wrong it's not their problem. Terrible customer service. Don't go here.

A group of us came here to celebrate my birthday. My friend and I ordered sushi and were told there would be an additional 15 minute wait for our rolls to come out. Okay, no problem. So we sat... and waited... and waited... and waited. After more than an hour, our server came over to ask if we had gotten our sushi yet. When we told her we hadn't, she talked to the chef... apparently he hadn't even started working on our order yet. Not wanting to wait another hour for 4 measly sushi rolls, we decided to cancel our order and leave, though they still had me pay for my drink. I think this was honestly a bit ridiculous since we didn't even get to eat anything. They absolutely should have comped it for us. This was all made worse by the fact that there was a group of middle-school kids shouting, running, and climbing all over the restaurant, and their parents over at the next table were apparently too busy enjoying their drinks to supervise them. Not exactly the restaurant's fault, but it absolutely worsened an already terrible experience. I'm sad to say I will not be retuning.

We were seated eventually in the café section which had a table piled with employee detritus along side us. The table cloths were pushed off the tables along the window, and the table was sticky. We ordered an appetizer, saki, teriyaki beef which came with soup and salad, and 2 sushi rolls. The beef dish arrived after a 30 minute wait. 10 more minutes brought one sushi roll and we asked about the appetizer, it arrived 10 minutes later and we asked about the soup, salad and Saki. The soup and salad arrived and we canceled the Saki. Second roll came followed by the check. The resturant was not busy at all. One hibachi table was occupied, one person at the sushi bar and us. It seemed to be an established resturant with an inexperienced staff and a manager asking staff what other resturants in the area did about things like people bring in their own bottle of wine (I presumed he was speaking of uncorking fees. My 2 star rating was based on lack of cleanliness, food not coming out in proper order, saki not remembered at all until the party asking for it had finished their meal. They add the gratuity into the bill, and were paid a second 30% on top of that because it was noticed until we were already in the car. The dog they were worried about stayed under the table and made not one sound.

We stepped up to order. After placing 1/2 of our order the host mentioned there is a 30 to 45 minute kitchen wait time due to online orders. WHAT. We only have 45 minutes before we have to leave. I then noticed the small sign about chest high on a post showing 30 min wait time. Having a business open at 11:30 am and 10 minutes after opening they can't handle walk-in patrons due to orders online means they have too small of a kitchen to handle all the orders. This is a good reason never to come here again. Good luck to them.

While I prefer Ginger Boat for the most tasty Teriyaki, if I'm hungry and driving down Holly street...I'm more likely as not stopping at Hana. There is a good reason for that...it's consistently delicious, consistently big in portions, consistently the best damn salad dressing... consistently tasty...it's reliable and filling. What's not to like? And while the interior and exterior have changed over the years...have to admit, the new signage is doing them a disservice since while the old sign was old-fashioned, you could see it from three blocks away...and the prices have got far more expensive, it's still a go to place that for most people will deliver several meals worth of food. Hang out waiting for your food and you'll hear many many orders for the spicy version...which is recommended. Not too spicy, just right. I admit to mostly ordering the plain old #1 Teriyaki chicken or Beef and Chicken. Long story short, it's hard to go wrong.

Sit there for a while at lunchtime or just around dinner time one day l, watch who's coming in and you'll get it. This is Blue Collar food. You'll see the construction workers, the lawn care guys...and later in the day, the Seniors and families. What they come for, what I come for, is primarily the utility Chinese. Heaping, large portions of reasonably tasty, carbohydrates, salt, sugar, fat, and a surprisingly large amount of proteins... all at a very reasonable price... or as reasonable as you'll probably find these days. I venture a guess that a lot of people cannot finish a two item combo with the chow mein. It is a lot of high calorie density food. And, it's served by consistently friendly folk behind the counter. No the food isn't gourmet quality, but there's not a lot of places that serve this many calories where you are always treated very well by a smiling guy behind the counter. So, if you're seriously hungry, or your kids are hungry, or you want a large amount of calories that will probably last you at least two meals then this is almost certainly going to hit the spot.
