    Today I got to try the Tempura Udon and it was very tasty. Also, the service was very friendly and helpful.

    Food: first time here, and the sushi was delicious, everything we got hot the spot! We got water bottles instead of regular glass cup which I thought was very cool and fancy (haha), and that was complimentary! Service: it wasn't busy when we went so we got our food quick! Ambiance: it was a cute place to eat, nothing fancy

    Stopped by Hana Sushi and really enjoyed it. It's a nice little spot with a cozy vibe, and the servers were friendly and attentive. We had some sushi, and everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. Parking is available, which is super convenient. Overall, a solid place for a casual sushi meal. I'd definitely come back.

    Hana Sushi is a small business that's very cleanly & minimal. The restaurant offered a variety of sushi choices & udon. The service was excellent, the sushi chef & waitress was very kind & patient with my party. The food was very flavorful, inside of the poke bowl there were takoyaki/tempura flakes which added a crunchy texture to the poke bowl. I personally enjoyed dining at Hana Sushi & would recommend getting a hamachi roll or poke bowl!

    Did takeout for lunch and ordered a lava roll sushi with chicken karaage. It was the first thing I ate today except yogurt for breakfast so the roll was extra tasty. I'm a big onion fan so I love the thick cut onions in the tuna. Chicken karaage was crunchy, hot and fresh when I picked it up but I wished it came with a sauce like spicy mayo or something to dip it in.

    Our experience was amazing! We are on vacation and not only were we impressed with the presentation of the food, but the customer service was great. The sushi was DELICIOUS and prepared quickly. This location is BYOB which is super fun! We will definitely be suggesting Hana Sushi to future vacationers! Also the music playlist was top tier!

    Lava Flow Roll (8 pieces): Cali roll topped with spicy ahi and green onion. Super good! Recommend!!!

    Hana Sushi is located right along Keahole St. in Hawaii Kai Shopping Center. Opposite the side with McDonald's. I walked into have lunch by myself and was greeted right away. I waited a bit by the door, awkwardly looking at the menu because I didn't know it was seat yourself. Most places in town are not seat yourself XD This place is seat yourself though. I was given a bottle of water when I sat down. This is how they serve their water, no cups. Chopsticks, napkins, shoyu and hand sanitizer are self serve on the table. The servers were a few younger guys. There were a few tables. Initially with my first sushi roll I wasn't offered any wasabi or pickled ginger. Service got better after a table left. Later on after I got my second sushi roll, I was offered wasabi or pickled ginger, but by then I declined. I knew from looking at the Yelp pictures earlier that I wanted to try the 'Lava Flow Roll' (8 pieces): California roll topped with spicy ahi and green onion. This was super super delicious. And I totally recommend it. You can taste the freshness in the spicy ahi on top and they give a generous portion. I also sampled the 'Ika Geso Karaage/ deep fried Squid legs.' This was freshly fried. Hot and steamy, which I appreciated. Though some parts where slightly raw. I decided to chance it anyway because tentacles are my favorites. And then I debated on ordering another roll. I decided to go for the 'Sunset Roll' (8 pieces): shrimp tempura, cucumber + on top: spicy ahi, crab mayo, crispy tempura flakes. It sounded really good when I looked at the menu... but I'd say you should pass on this one. The shrimp tempura inside isn't freshly fried and by the time it makes its way into the roll, its pretty soggy and sad :( The toppings on top are interesting but they aren't the same volume as on the Lava Flow. I really should've just gotten another Lava Flow *face palm*.

    For some reason it's hard to find good, authentic Japanese food in Hawaii Kai. I always have to go into town to get it. There's definitely a restaurant opportunity for someone! I've driven past Hana Sushi a million times since it's in the Hawaii Kai shopping center which is near my residence. Plenty of parking is available in the shared lot. They're right next door to a liquor store and close to Safeway. I was craving sushi and I wasn't too hungry, so I just ordered their salmon skin roll to go. Big mistake. I'm not even sure that there was any salmon skin in the roll! I think there was a little bit of salmon, but the rest was filled with cucumbers, masago and radish sprouts. Five little pieces for $10. I can't comment on the service since I ordered my sushi roll to go, but the inside seemed clean and spacious with a nice sushi bar set up. In addition to sushi, they offer various rice bowls such as chirashi, poke, tonkatsu, etc. They also have fried foods like tempura, gyoza, etc. Perhaps I'd return in the future to try other dishes, but I don't think I'd order sushi from there again.

    Is this place BYOB?

    Hana Sushi is BYOB, which just adds to the attraction of Hana Sushi. They added a few new items like an oyster shooter to the menu that goes very well with beverages.

My fiance won a gift card actually 2 of them (from his coworker whom could not get a reservation secured), we knew we had to make the trip over before they officially close. We had multiple dishes, but staff made Kauai prawns and tomato miso black cod dishes on the house since they ran out the Hokkaido scallops. We ordered the short ribs, lobster appetizer, hamachi crudo and lastly sashimi moriawase to finish food palate. Lukki lemon dessert was great way to end to night. Ordered the Milk tea bouquet cocktail while my better half had water ( either way the food coma knock him out cold the rest of the night lol). To be honest, it was difficult to determine which dish was the best because the staff kept quality there despite it being busy every night since they announce the closure. Sashimi moriawase, fish was so fresh, reminded me of my time spent in Hokkaido and Sapporo. Short ribs was soft and rich in flavor.

I also don't understand how Yelp lists this place as a "good for kids". It's not. There wasn't a kids' menu and the dishes were not kid-palate friendly (other than maybe the basic California style hand roll). For example, the fried tofu had shredded ginger on top that permeated the dish and the karaage had a very mild (but present!) note of spice that reminded me a bit of buffalo sauce. Our waiter didn't even give us a heads up or point us in the direction of any dishes to consider for the kids (surely we must not be the only family who has brought kids to this restaurant). Lastly, I understand that the tempura brownie is popular but after tasting the "tempura" on the tofu I'm sure the brownie is just the star that shines through. The "tempura" on the tofu was gummy and not the authentic Japanese tempura we are used to (my husband, who is part Japanese, said to me "What is this?! Cornstarch?"). This is probably a great restaurant for drinks and hanging out with some adult friends but the rolls and appetizers were just not to our tastes. We were also sat outside when the restaurant was near empty inside and out (we went around 4PM) and it was a hot day (though the AC wasn't particularly cool enough for my preference inside either).
