I've ordered from here multiple times and have always been impressed. Indoor ambience is inviting, bustling, but pleasant and at a nice level to hold a conversation at. Everything is incredibly delicious, comforting, and fresh, and when you dine in food comes at the prefect "sitting at a restaurant" pace, even when the restaurant was full. Today, I had a really specific question regarding an ingredient- I have an intolerance, and always feel awkward asking for an ingredient check. Serene (or Serena, forgive me I forget now!!) took ample time to double check for me that a food did not have the certain ingredient, judgement free, and responded with my worries only with kindness. Thank you so much! read more

I am writing this review to warn others after an experience my husband had last night. He here for dinner and within hours became violently ill with severe food poisoning. He ordered several sushi rolls and nigiri (including tuna and salmon items). By the middle of the night he was experiencing intense stomach cramps, vomiting, diarrhea, chills, and dizziness. We ended up in the ER this morning because he was so dehydrated and weak. The doctor confirmed it was consistent with bacterial food poisoning, likely from improperly handled raw fish or cross-contamination. This is not something to take lightly. Food poisoning from sushi can be dangerous, especially for anyone with a compromised immune system, pregnant, elderly, or young children. If you value your health, I strongly recommend avoiding this place until they clean up their food safety practices. We will never return and are considering reporting this to the local health department. Please, learn from our mistake and steer clear. There are plenty of other sushi restaurants with better hygiene standards. Your family's health is not worth the risk. read more

When you first walk in, the decor is really cute with the hanging umbrellas and cherry blossom decor. When we went, service was kinda mid. Maybe it was a rough day but our server was annoyed. They have a decent menu and their lunch specials are okay and reasonably priced. However the sushi was pretty mid. Each roll we ordered was wrapped in large amounts of rice with not a lot of fish. It's still quite expensive for what you get especially if you want unagi. Can't say we'll be back since we prefer Yonsei which is nearby but I can see why it's popular. This location does seem different than the one in Cherry Creek. The one in cherry creek seems like a higher quality selection of fish so possibly it's based on location. read more

After a month in Colorado we were still searching for a good sushi spot that checked all the boxes, with our visit to Hana Matsuri we have found our new favorite location. Nice open layout, decent size space with a combination tables and a sushi bar. No reservation but we were able to get a table quickly on a rather crowded Sunday evening. Ordering was straight forward, either mark off your dish of choice on the provided menu paper or order off the menu. We started with the mixed tempura app..I really need to stop doing this as we haven't found a good tempura in this area but I keep hoping! Wife went with the Chirashi bowl that had generous cuts of fresh seafood. Thumbs up on this dish. I ordered 9 different nigiri for a total of 18 pieces. I was very happy with the quality and presentation. We did receive two giveaway cards redeemable on our next visit so we'll definitely coming back sooner rather then later. All around best sushi so far and we left happy! read more

This is our go-to sushi spot in this area! A great place to eat with your family, a group of friends or date night. They have good selection of classic and special rolls and their sashimi cuts are always thick and fresh. Along with sushi, we enjoy the hamachi kama (yellowtail collar), the miso black cod and on occasion, the New York strip black rock grill. My kids love the calamari and all the items on the kids menu. We've never had a bad experience here over the years that we've been customers. We've also never had bad sushi, whether it's dine in or take out. They also make a great sushi party tray, which I order often. The space is smaller and the dining area is often packed, but it doesn't feel crowded. Service has always been good, with the owner checking up on customers often. read more

I got a bunch of sushi recs for Denver, but this place definitely wasn't on my bingo card. It's just north of the city, about a 30-minute drive, and honestly--if you're in the area, it's worth the trip. The moment I walked in, I could tell it was a local favorite. For a Monday right around opening time, the place already had a healthy amount of patrons. It was a good sign. I was greeted by a guy named Lukas, who nailed the recommendations for a first-timer. We kicked things off with beer and sake, and then the appetizers started rolling out. The presentation? Spot on. Everything was super fresh, full of flavor. What more do you need? Then came the rolls. Wow, is all I can say. I've been to a lot of sushi spots, but the combo of service and quality here stood out. Lukas was attentive, not just to us, but to every table around us. Just a solid dude. Good food, good vibes. Glad my friend put this one on my radar. read more

Very popular restaurant as it was packed. We didn't wait that long for a table on a Friday night for 2. We got a bunch of sashimi (eel, smoked eel, salmon, tuna) and a dragon roll and a spicy roll that I forgot the name but everything was fresh and tasty. I spent about $90 so prices weren't bad. Service was super attentive and fast. It felt like our server was rushing us to be done and we weren't even there long...but I think he just had a very strong work ethic and wanted to be fast. Giving him the benefit of the doubt. Nice shushi place. read more

Hana Matsuri used to be my favorite sushi place but after today I don't think I will be back. The server was so rushed and abrupt with clearing out the table, smaking dishes together, and didn't ask if we wanted anything else. He just assumed. Well actually we were not done eating, we had planned on ordering more, but after him making us feel bad for even being in there we ended up leaving. It was not busy at all. I would think you want the business. The Philadelphia roll barely had any salmon in it and really should be called a cream cheese roll if 80% of the roll is cream cheese, and there was barely any rice on it. You give out free Beer and Sake for reviews on Google, if all you had to do is give half way decent service and stick to your standards that you had for years read more

Just left Hanamatsuri. We've gone here almost 10 years and today it was as perfect a meal as ever! Thanks guys!

First of all, the service was very good. They were very attentive, enough though we were sitting outside. He was very polite and professional. This sushi place is probably not for true sushi enthusiasts, but it's ok for rolls and basic nigiri. I was very surprised that the sushi rice fell apart. True sushi rice is very sticky. My nigiri pretty much fell apart after grabbing it with my chopsticks. The cucumber roll wasn't rolled very tightly and fell apart as well. My favorite was the scallop roll. We were just passing by on our way to Estes park, so it was just ok to eat after getting off the plane. read more

This is the best sushi place in the area. So far it's my favorite in Colorado. The spicy Bincho and amazing roll are my favorite rolls. The new style sashimi & spicy yellowtail are our favorite sashimi appetizers. The service is always pretty good, they have a very friendly staff. Ambiance is good for a strip mall. Ultimately this is my favorite sushi place and I definitely recommend it! read more

Came here for the first time with a friend who had been before. No reservation but they have plenty of seats open around 5pm. The staff were on top of it, the food came out at a good pace. The parking lot is a bit messy, but you can find parking behind the resturant or near by. Inside it is beautiful with Cherry Blossoms on the walls. I got the wontons which were a perfect starter and came out very quickly. We ordered a bunch of rolls and enjoyed our time. I will definitely come back when I am in the area. read more

I had such a lovely dinner at Hana Matsuri! The service here was some of the best I've experienced in the Denver-Metro area in awhile. Kyle was the best! He was attentive and helpful! That alone made this experience so stand out from the minute we walked in the door to the moment we left. I got the Sashimi plate, which had a lot of beautiful fish. Everything was fresh and tasted so good! I really enjoyed the house salad. The dressing was so good I could've gone for more! I think the striped bass was my favorite sashimi of the evening. My partner got the maki plate with a cali roll, avocado roll, and spicy tuna roll. I loved their spicy tuna roll! I would get that next time if I was planning to get maki. I love that there's a yummy sushi spot so close to home! I can't wait to come back! read more

We came here for my friend's birthday. The sushi rolls are delicious. I especially enjoyed the lobster roll and the spicy tuna roll, and my kid, a connoisseur of fatty tuna, said it was excellent. Everything beautifully plated. The sushi was fresh and there was a wide variety. Service was friendly and efficient, and the restaurant is clean and bright. My only issue is that it's really cold. I'm not sure why, but I was wearing my parka the whole time. Maybe because we were near the door (and our party was too big to move) but the place was ice cold. It wouldn't stop me from going again, but it made me eat quickly and I couldn't linger. read more

Five Stars All Around! From the moment we walked in, we were treated like royalty. The staff was absolutely incredible--warm, attentive, and professional. Every member of the team went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and well taken care of throughout the entire experience. The food? Absolutely perfect. Every dish was beautifully presented and packed with flavor. You can really tell how much care and skill goes into every plate that comes out of the kitchen. We were lucky enough to be seated in what I think is the best seat in the house, with a perfect view and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. It truly made the night feel even more special. Huge thanks to the entire team for making our visit unforgettable. We'll definitely be coming back soon! read more

I had the mountain roll, which was tasty, but smaller than I had expected. At most places, when you order a special roll, you get 10-12 pieces and I only got 6 pieces here. Nonetheless, it was tasty and I liked the diversity of the menu- my younger daughter can never decide between udon, ramen, and tonkatsu and they had all options. read more

My star rating: * Avoid. Why are you even open? ** Avoid unless the last restaurant on earth. *** Several important misses. Not recommended. **** Very enjoyable experience. Highly recommended. ***** Hits every mark of perfection. PROS Nice size sushi fish pieces. Immediately greeted by host with a friendly smile. Staff service was very good - even the new person training. Lots of staff behind the sushi counter. Nice open restaurant. A fair number of seats at the sushi counter. Plenty of parking. CONS I prefer my raw fish pieces to be a bit colder - I understand that may not be how sushi is typically served, but that is the way I like it. The restaurant was warm - maybe since they just opened it takes a while for the AC to cool the place down. read more

Not sure what happened here. We have been going here for years. My favorite place. The last two times... construction of rolls is sloppy, taste is basic. They don't have wines that are in the menus. I'm confused. I see why it's not busy anymore. read more

Fish was pretty good. Service was fast and messy. I felt so rushed. Environment is loud and chaotic. Basically service was not good. I don't even know if they have dessert? Was only given one menu for 4 people??? Rice was cold and dry...waiter didn't follow up... also really need to filter the water especially the water they make the tea with. read more

I really can't say anything bad about Hana . Every single time we come here the staff treats us so well. They remember faces and because of that we are always treated kindly . The ambiance is that of any sushi reataurant. It isn't huge so expect personalized treatment . I love all the food here . Whenever I am in town for more than a couple days we make it a point to visit . If you like sushi I highly recommend. read more

To start with, we have never had bad fish here. They always have fresh ingredients and when we have picked up, everything looks great- however.. this is one of the few spots I have truly enjoyed their lunch specials but I felt like their rolls were just missing the mark. My first order from Hana Matsuri was a lunch combo of 3 way tuna. This has a 3 pieces of torched sashimi, 3 tuna sushi pieces and a large spicy tuna hand roll. The fish was exquisite, the sauce for the torched tuna was perfect, and the spicy edamame was excellent, although the sauce felt a little two heavy handed. I couldn't wait to try more from them. The second time, we tried some of their specialty rolls and that is where we're bummed out. We tried the Tuna Lover roll, the Reed Roll, the New style Salmon Roll, and the Sun Fire Roll. All of which had SUPER fresh fish- but they additional creative liberties made it hard to enjoy. The Spicy Mango sauce didn't work on the rolls we tried, the reed roll was maostly drowned out from the intense and soggy tempura green onions, the yuzu-soy and ginger in the Scottish salmon roll just had a bit too much going on. All of this is to say, they have some great items here, it just was a bit over handed on sushi rather than the fresh unique and bold flavors we were expecting. Again, this place is nothing short of great for fish, we were just a bit disappointed with our specialty rolls. I will point out the servers always look attentive and the restaraunt itself is very cozy and always clean as can be so highly recommend checking them out! read more

Hana Matsuri is such a great spot! Their food is amazing all the time, but I'm a big fan of the lunch specials. If you're looking for good sushi (and any other Japanese dish) check out this spot. I work close to Hana Matsuri so I'm always stopping in for lunch. I'm a big fan of the bento box. It comes with so much food, and all of it is amazing. The bento box comes with 4 pieces of sushi, miso soup, salad, rice, shrimp/vegetable tempura, a crispy rice square, and either salmon or chicken teriyaki. I'm a big fan of the chicken teriyaki. The bento is so large, I always have leftovers. If you're there for dinner, all of their sushi is amazing and they have a huge selection of appetizers. If you're eating in, the restaurant has a nice bar and a decent amount of tables. If it's warm out, the patio is also super nice. Bonus points for plenty of parking too. If you're craving sushi and in the Westminster area, this is your place. read more

Great sushi and other dishes. Simple but nice wine list. Usually good and only have had one bad waitress but because of her, I give a 4.

My family and I have been coming to Hana for YEARS. Whether you're a sushi lover or someone who prefers other options, there's something for everyone on the menu. The quality is always top-notch, with fresh ingredients and beautifully prepared dishes. Beyond the amazing food, what truly sets this place apart is the staff. They are incredibly welcoming and treat us like family every time we visit. The service is always warm and attentive, making the dining experience even better. If you're looking for a go-to sushi spot that caters to all tastes and offers a wonderful atmosphere, this is the place! read more

If you love Toro (fatty tuna), you'll be happy to hear that this place also has fatty salmon, and fatty yellowtail. If you're unfamiliar with those, they are basically the "wagyu" versions of tuna, salmon, and yellowtail. You get a richer and more flavorful variation from the original. The fact that they have all of those makes me love this place. In addition to that their other sushi items are also great and satisfying. read more

The service was fantastic. All the staff were very kind. The food was amazing and fresh, and at such a fair price! I could tell the wontons had been freshly made. The dinner plate looked beautiful both rounds of sushi my partner and I got. The place was nicely lit. It was packed when we got there, but the server offered us a seat at the bar to skip the wait, which was wonderful. We even received a complimentary cake at the end of our service. One improvement I might suggest would be to have a wifi available to the guests. A password protected one might even work as they could put the password on the menu. read more

Good atmosphere and the service was good. If you're in a rush, the food came out pretty quickly. Everyone in our party had mixed reviews and nobody didn't like their meal. We're used to a spot in California and we're here on business. Wasn't bad and would recommend it. We would try a different spot next time to see what else is out here. read more

Food is pretty good here. I have both dined in and gotten take out on several occasions. Dining in service is good, no complaints. Take out is terrible service due to inaccurate menu offerings. I've ordered through both their website and UberEats and have learned that a lot of their descriptions are not what they offer. I've had conversations with them about the inaccuracies, but they seem to still have items that are misleading. Examples: Lunch menu Kobe beef yakiniku bowl says that it comes with sashimi. It actually comes with half California roll. They used to have a maki combo that depicted the wrong rolls that you can select from. They removed this from ordering since the last time I told them of this issue. I won't trust trying to order their current maki or Philly combo. Definitely check your orders thoroughly at the restaurant if you do take out. read more
