The place is under new ownership with new management and menu. The menu is very big with good choices of regular cut rolls, hand rolls or speciality cut rolls. My partner & I opted for the regular menu instead of Ayce. We got the mango cut rolls, the dragon roll & the crunch rolls, which was all good with fresh fish. My personal favorite was the mango roll, which we choose salmon as the choice of fish to go with the roll. I like how you're allow to choose which fish option you can get. Customer service was very fast, since we were the only one dinning there during afternoon hours. The place was empty, but hopefully not for long. Please support mom & pop shops. read more

The original owner is back after spending some time making sushi elsewhere, and you can really feel the difference. He returned to the place where he first started, and you can tell he's committed to making it even better -- he's even introduced all‑you‑can‑eat sushi. Take advantage of his effort to elevate this place for customers, because the passion really shows. We went back recently, and the food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and well prepared. The sushi tastes clean and balanced, and every dish feels thoughtfully made. The staff is friendly and efficient, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality you get. It's a casual spot, but the food is reliable and satisfying every time. It's great to see the original owner back and pouring his heart into the restaurant again. read more

The restaurant is nice and well decorated. The staff are nice and helpful. We tried several dishes and my favorite were fresh wasabi and isa geso (squid legs). The fresh wasabi is highly recommended if you like its strong flavor and aftertaste. I was not very impressed with the remaining dishes. The sashimi were ok but the texture was a little cold and chewy (to me) like it was not defrosted enough for sashimi. But you can't beat 99 cents beer. So if you are here for the beer, everything else is good for that promotion :) read more

Hana Maru - Soft Shell Crab - Japanese Near Me - Garden Grove, California

Went here with my cousin since he found out that they have a promotion with $.99/pint. He got excited. The place is nice, clean, big and spacious. Parking is easy but small so 1st comes 1st serves. Menu is varies and well options. Service is friendly and nice plus very attentive. The foods are good, well presented, tasty, good portion, and with reasonable price. Overall we had a good time here with good foods and cheap beer, and with great service. read more

This little place is surrounded by other busy businesses, so parking can be a bit of an issue. When you walk inside this place just feels comforting. Fairly sizeable, the art is great. I came in during soft opening, so there were some great deals. 99 cent Sapporo on draft and they're actually a decent size for the price tag. Each sushi roll have 5 pieces instead of the usual 8, so that it's a good, "just enough" of a roll. They do have some rolls under 10 dollars. We did order the Sensual Pleasure roll, which was actually still a decent size for a 5 piece roll. It was actually really good. We ordered both the yellowtail and the salmon collar, those were basically melt in your mouth and the skin were nice and crispy. Baked Mussels are a must for me, they're and these ones don't disappoint. The bento box was $20, but it came with so much. I got the Chicken Karaage, beef teriyaki, and the donkatsu. The salad on it had that amazing dressing on it, and of course it had rice. It's very much worth the price, and great for those who don't like fish! We also wanted to try the tonkatsu ramen. The broth was rich and creamy, the noodles had that perfect bounce. The chashu was tender and complemented the ramen. Last we ordered the sashimi plate. The fish was fresh and delicious. Now they offered their spicy sauce, which I tried. I love me some hot sauce, this was actually a bit warm. It was really good with the sashimi though! The service was great, the waiter was very helpful throughout the entire service. And everything was amazing. I do recommend it, it's like a 10 minute drive from Disneyland so if you want sushi, try this place out! read more

$1 draft beer! Special rolls with 4-5 pieces, all from $7 to $10. Even better--sushi starting at $2. Is this really 2025... even 2026 pricing? Yes--it is. And it's in Orange County. Hana Maru runs the show with top-quality ingredients at insane value (seriously, the value is unbeatable). Beyond their signature rolls and $1 draft beer, my must-try recommendations: Salmon Madness Combo -- $20 10 pieces of salmon belly Sushi Sampler -- $15 7 pieces, only about $2 per piece Looking for something more luxurious? You can't go wrong with sweet shrimp or sea urchin. The sea urchin sushi comes with 7 pieces--super satisfying. Your top place to try in the new year, without destroying your wallet after the holidays. IG: socalhkfoodies read more

We had dinner here the other night. Parking can be an issue since it is small and there are several businesses that share the same parking lot. The restaurant is simple and charming. They are in a soft opening phase and offering some great deals that will be part of their grand opening. The grand opening date has not been announced as of this review. They have 99 cent Sapporo on draft. They also have rolls under $10. The rolls are 5 pieces instead of the usual 8 pieces at other locations but the rolls are just as large. We got both the salmon and yellowtail collar. Both were large with crispy skin. The fish itself was fatty and moist. Just delicious fish collars. We also got baked mussels which were flavorful and delicious. The bento box is $20 and has a lot of options. We got beef teriyaki, donkatsu and chicken karaage. All were delicious and large portions. The tonkotsu ramen is only $12. The noodles were light and bouncy. The dashi was rich and creamy. We also got a sashimi plate. The sashimi was thick cut and absolutely delicious. Distance close to Disneyland with great service and wonderful food will make HanaMaru Sushi a great place to eat. read more

Not sure why there's so many negative reviews regarding the new management, because I think it's even better! I got the salmon madness & 3pick bento - both being $20 each. The salmon was DELICIOUS and tasted so good, I would get it everytime. The bento box is very filling as you can pick 3 items. The item size are pretty good sized so I highly recommend getting it if you're looking for a good lunch. The ambiance is very cozy and the server & chef was super nice! Parking is a bit tight due to the area but I had room to park read more

I've been eating sushi for years, and I have to say this ranks as one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to. The customer service is outstanding, and the staff never tries to push the all-you-can-eat option. The food is fresh, delicious, and consistently amazing. This place is an absolute must-visit for any sushi lover! read more

Today I got the opportunity to check out a sushi spot near my home and I have to say I am very impressed with how delicious and fresh it all tasted! Our waitress was amazing and super attentive!! The place its self was very clean and welcoming! We got the Hawaiian roll with yellowtail which was super fresh and light 10/10. Also the baked roll/deep fried roll Gold rush with spicy tuna and Vegas roll, very delicious 10/10. We also got a baked salmon roll which was good with a strong flavor of teriyaki 8/10. For appetizers we got spicy edamame which was perfect spice! Overall great experience! read more

Went to Hana Maru for the first time during my lunch break. I ordered the Philadelphia Roll, Sensual Pleasure Roll, Aloha Roll, and the Salmon Collar since they did not have the yellowtail collar available. Overall, the sushi itself was average. Nothing really stood out flavor-wise, but the Salmon Collar was definitely the highlight of the meal. I would come back just for that. One thing that caught me off guard was the portion pricing. The menu lists rolls as 6 pieces, but the server asked if I wanted 6 or 8 pieces and I chose the larger portion. When the bill came, I realized the price was essentially doubled. If I had known that beforehand, I probably would have just ordered two rolls for the same price and gotten more variety. Service was a little slow. I was the only person in the restaurant at the time, but it still took a while for the server to initially come over, and there was a long gap before I saw her again. She seemed like she might be new, so that could have played a role. The ambiance itself was nice though. The restaurant was clean, organized, and had a pleasant atmosphere for a casual lunch. I was seated at the sushi bar and the chef did not acknowledge me at all until the food was handed over, which made the experience feel a little impersonal. Overall, the place was okay. Not a bad lunch spot, but not somewhere I am rushing back to either. The Salmon Collar is definitely worth ordering if you stop by. read more

Came here on a Wednesday night around 7pm in a party of 4 and it was not crowded at all, we got seated immediately. We ordered: the 911 roll, two california rolls, baked salmon roll, triple s roll, rainbow roll, dragon roll, crunchy roll, white truffle salmon, and sashimi salad. The food was all so good and at the end, the owner(?) gave us a complementary yellowtail carpaccio! We were pleasantly surprised and thankful for this. He always came to check back on us which we appreciated. My friends also got some beer which they enjoyed. Parking is a bit rough, so we parked in the next plaza over. The restaurant is located in a very tiny strip mall with only a few stores next to it. Inside was neat and nicely decorated. I haven't been here before the new management/ownership, but I was pretty happy with our experience. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

This place honestly caught me by surprise in the best way possible. I recently learned there's new management, and you can truly feel the difference. The sushi was super fresh, the rolls tasted clean and high quality, and everything came out perfectly. What really made the experience special was the customer service. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel at home from the moment we walked in. I came with my entire family, and everyone left happy -- which isn't always easy to do! We're definitely coming back again. Thank you so much to Andy and the whole team for taking such great care of us. read more

Just sad... Like most of the recently reviews, this used to be my favorite sushi spot. I would recommend to my friends and begged them to try it with me one day because their inside seating was always nice and the younger man at behind the counter was always welcoming, hard working and always there. Today I ordered my usual 2 bento boxes for my mom and I. Only to be very disappointed and actually pissed. They got (what seemed like) Jacks Links beef jerky and tossed it in teriyaki sauce to call it "Beef Teriyaki". - It was literally the driest beef I've ever had. Store bought beef jerky isn't even this dry and this is NOT an exaggeration. How does "fresh" beef FROM A RESTAURANT snap like a popsicle stick?!?! The chicken katsu was also just very flavorless and this truthfully comes from a guy who eats about anything :/ Then, the rice and miso soup come completely on the side of the bento boxes which isn't necessarily a big deal, but it just feels extremely wasteful when my meal is coming out of 5 different plastic containers like a Russian doll. (Ginger and wasabi also in a tiny plastic container too...) All in all, the new management is sacrificing quality for profitability. And this is extremely sad to see happen to my local and favorite sushi spot. I live no more than 5 mins away, always WAS a go-to and unfortunately I do not even see myself coming back ever again :/ I really don't like to post negative reviews, but if this is what it takes for the "new" management to get a grasp of what the crowd thinks, then this is what it takes. I would also appreciate if I wasn't being replied to by a ChatGPT AI prompt and actually somebody from management... read more

One of the places I've had the freshest Sushi from. Fish is always so fresh and tender never smelling fishy. Staff is very friendly and attentive and the chef comes out to say hi. Today I tried the following 3: Baja California Roll, Awesome Roll without the Mustard Dressing and the Three Amigo Roll. Baja and Awesome rolls are refreshing and Three Amigo has this smokey kick to it that out of the three I couldn't choose my favorite as they are all good. read more

I've been coming here for a while but I guess there is new management making changes. The food overall was average. I did order one roll , and when I received the roll, it looked completely different. Instead of fresh jalapeños, it was canned jalapeños, the ones you put on nachos. The menu caught me off guard. It is advertised a certain price for 5pc. When I received the food there was more than 5. Didn't really say anything because I thought the pieces were cut uneven. When the check was brought, it was doubled the price for 3 more pcs. Brought it up to a crew member and his explanation was that the server had to ask if I was going to do 5 or 8 pc. We weren't asked at all. Just caught me off guard. Overall place is clean and nice atmosphere. read more

My family and I were staying at great wolf lodge and wanted to leave to have a break from pizza and have some sushi. We are so happy we found this gem. The food was delicious and affordable! My daughter is a very picky eater and she said it was the best food she's ever had. The service was friendly. Even the chef came out to ask us how our meal was. It's a cute little place. If you're in the area, you must try this place! We definitely be back next time we stay at GWL. read more

Ive always enjoyed coming here as a kid, and came back a couple days ago after many years with my family. The new management has brought a decline in both service and food quality. The server, (probably new), didn't know the bento box came with up to 3 options to choose from. When we tried to clarify, she kept getting confused and couldn't really remember what we ordered. At one point during our meal, she came to check on us, and saw that we had 1 piece of sushi left. Seeing this, she told us she'd take the plate back when I finished the roll. She proceeded to stand there and wait, which made me have to rush and scoop it up. I've never ever had a server wait and watch me eat so they could clean up?!? Speaking of the roll, the Philadelphia roll came all messed up. The salmon was sliced extremely unevenly, and the rice was messy and falling off. The sushi chefs mustve been new too The shrimp in the Crunch Roll was extremely bland and almost tasted and felt old. The Bento Boxes changed a lot since Ive came but the quality of the salmon and chicken definitely declined. Throughout all this, the employees were talking awfully loud at the front counter. This place has genuinely been ruined in recent years. What a shame. read more

Delicious Sushi, Sake and Ice Cold beer!! First time dining at Hana Maru and it didn't disappoint!! First off, prices are great!! I assumed they had 2-3 rolls at their under $10 special price, but it's ALL of their rolls that are under $10! As soon as I walked in service was great, thank you Jessi and crew! They have a relaxed indoor and patio area to enjoy. I started with the Tiger Roll and Baked Salmon Roll, I paired them with their 99cent ice cold 12oz Sapporo and a Ozeki Cup Sake! Followed it up with a Sexy Roll, one of my favorites! Everything was delicious! Highly recommend this local gem! Will definitely return to try the other rolls, bento box and nigori sake. See you all soon! Cheers! read more

We were staying at the Great Wolf Lodge and wanted some Japanese food. Saw a nice review for this restaurant and decided to check it out. My family of four enjoyed our food immensely. My son had the ramen and my daughter had the udon. Both were happy with their order. Since we were there on a Wednesday, there was a special, buy 2 rolls get 3rd free. So we order a salmon roll, a baked lobster roll and the seared roll called "No kiss roll". The No Kiss Roll is now my favorite thing. Was tempted to ordered another but was full. Definitely will come again if I'm in the area. Service was good as well. Friendly service. read more

We dined in, and service was excellent from start to end. During the meal, we were checked up by multiple staff and tended our needs. Our server was attentive and made sure we ordered drinks and apps first while we thought about what to order. She wasted no time at the same time without being pushy nor rushing our time, which I appreciate. Food came out very fast, and everything was delicious. We got the rainbow roll, baked ono roll, California crunch roll, avocado rolls, chicken yakisoba, shrimp tempura, edamame, and miso soup. The rainbow roll was so fresh, and the fish melted like butter 10/10. The baked ono roll was savory, and the fish was delicate, flaky, and had a silky texture - there were layers of flavor explosions 10/10. California crunch roll 8/10. Avocado rolls seem very basic, but it is hard to nail imo. We have a person who does not eat any fish, shell fish, or seafood, for that matter, and they always get avocado rolls, and it was just ok here. The shrimp tempura 10/10 is the best I've ever had. It wasn't a skimpy little shrimp that curled. This was a fat succulent shrimp with a delicate light coating of panko, and when you bit into it, it was light and perfectly cooked without any chew. The miso soup was surprisingly delicious and had the most flavor I've ever had 10/10. I couldn't be happier with the service and meal. read more

The bluefin tuna sashimi looked old and was not fresh at all! I hope I don't get sick off of it.

Plenty of parking on a Wednesday afternoon. We were greeted immediately and had the whole place to ourselves for the hour we were there. The menu has plenty of options! Fresh rolls, baked rolls, no rice rolls, sashimi, bento boxes and more. We loved everything we ordered. The only thing I'll say is once we paid the bill the server stopped attending us. We had to ask the manger for some more water. read more

This review is based on their takeout! My cousin suggested this sushi place for their sushi burritos. She mentioned she used to get it a lot after school in high school. This was my first time having anything from here so I went with my go to sushi. My ratings: Spicy Tuna Burrito, 8/10 - this was really good! I think all the ingredients go together very well and even the presentation looks great for takeout. It came with spicy Mayo + eel sauce (I think) in one container. I don't usually like to mix my sauces like that but it worked well with the sushi burrito. The price was also reasonable for the perceived quality. I'm not that great at judging the quality of fish but it tasted like good tuna to me LOL No comment on the service or ambience since I only ordered to go but I'll probably come try more food some time! read more
