Excellent sushi in an unexpected place Give this place a try The octopus is amazing read more

This is my favourite sushi place. Not just in Fort Saskatchewan, but anywhere I've ever had sushi at! The owner really knows what he's doing. I would eat here any chance I get to. read more

Food was amazing i recommend the dragon roll! soo good the food was very presentable when it came as well!

Ok, so I tried more than last time, and I am definitely a fan now, a solid four star. I still think that there should be less rice and more fish to their salmon nigiri. The salmon/avocado roll with sesame was another favorite. We also tried the Pandora roll, and the strawberry on top was a delicious finishing touch; and even nicer since presented last, almost like a dessert. I usually don't go for big rolls, but I did enjoy the vampire roll as well as the spicy tuna roll. I had a peach bubble tea but it was not satisfying. I haven't had one in a long time, but it was like a sweet frozen drink and the tapioca pearls were few and not as large as I remember. I wouldn't order it again. Excellent service - server was attentive, friendly and genuinely cared about our visit and the quality of food served. Hanabi is still a family favorite, and I look forward to coming here again! read more

One of my favorite places for Japanese food! I have travelled to Japan several times and Hanabi is as authentic as you get. The Bento box for lunch is perfect and the variety of Sushi rolls is vast. I love the Vampire and Dragon heart rolls. Decor is a bit dated and could use an upgrade but I'm sure Covid has made it hard on them to invest in their facility. Hanabi has never disappointed me. read more

Quite an excellent little Japanese restaurant for a city the size of Fort Saskatchewan. I adored the bento box that I had for lunch: sashimi and so many wonderful little sides! I loved how the box had 9 equal spots in it -- so aesthetically pleasing! I wasn't a huge fan of the tempura shrimp but my mother liked hers. Mom had the chicken bento box and the chicken breast was rather dry which was unfortunate as the rest of her bento box was rather good! We also enjoyed some takoyaki (presented more prettily than I expected!) and some spicy tuna tataki which was lovely. We were there at a slower time of day (around 1pm) and enjoyed the nearly empty restaurant. We got good service and in general had a great time! They do have seniors discounts for seniors over age 65. I also noticed that they have high chairs which makes the restaurant more family friendly. read more

This place is amazing. I'm late writing this review as I haven't eaten here in awhile, but I felt compelled by the lingering memories of how great the food here was to write one today. I've eaten here half a dozen times now and the sushi has always been delicious and with great presentation. If your craving good sushi, then this is your spot. read more

Hanabi - Wicked awesome sushi from Hanabi's "Devil's Kiss" So good, and a great bitta heat. - Japanese Near Me - Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta

From the outside, it doesn't look like much. But as soon as you walk in, it's like you've been transported to a Japanese tea garden. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this place. We sat at a table with curtains and a pergola above us. You would think by all this, the food was going to be amazing... unfortunately not... I was disappointed, especially because so many people here raved about it. The service was a bit slow. But we found out later, the waitress was the only one working that evening. Lots of tables to manage for just 1 person! We ordered a few items: tuna tataki, sashimi bento, rainbow roll, negitoro maki, rainbow roll, and the Red Devil Roll. Tuna tataki should be lightly seared... ours was almost cooked all the way. I found the sashimi bento to be different than most bento boxes I've seen... I liked it! The rainbow roll was ok... there was green apple in it, which I've never had before. It was a little sweet, salty, and crunchy. Not bad. I wish there was more toro in the negitoro roll. I normally stick to fish for my rolls, but decided to go with the kalbi in the Red Devil Roll. The meat was tasty but I felt there was too much sauce that drowned the roll. I thought it would be spicier with the jalapeños and sriracha, but it wasn't. Also, another thing... the wasabi was very weak. I always put some on my rolls... I pasted it on my rolls just to get some sort of reaction, and there was none. Not sure what happened there. Overall the food was just ok. When I was hearing orders from tables around me, they were mainly getting hot foods. Maybe I will try that next time. We'll see. read more

We have been to Hanabi many many times since they opened. Consistently great food. Service is always great. This is a hidden gem! read more

Disclaimer up front that I'm from California, so I may be somewhat of a fish snob. I actually wouldn't have minded the fish, but on the Rainbow Roll the typical unagi sauce wasnt present, and frankly the sauce ruined what was an ok roll. We also ordered rice entrees to go. The miso soup isnt included when you order to go. We got beef, salmon and the fried pork. All the meats were just ok. The salad was decent. The salmon order had a side of stir fried veggies that was too salty. Prices were also a little high for my tastes, but given the area and how landlocked the Japanese restaurants are, its forgiveable. read more

This is as close to authentic sushi as it's made in Japan. Having spent 16 months living in Japan, I can strongly recommend the excellence of Hanabi. Helpful servers, great decor, comfortable dining experience. The Dragon roll, Age Tofu and Nigiri were all incredibly delicious. Fresh, generous, carefully prepared to perfection! read more

We go here about once a week. By far the best sushi around, and great service! My personal favs are the Phoenix and Vampire rolls.

Over priced and very very slow. Ordered some Maki rolls & tempura & was told 1.5-2 hour wait. Sushi is better at Tokyo Express at quarter of the cost. I honestly don't know how this place is even still open. I'll order from Edo before ordering from this place. read more

How is this place in Fort Saskatchewan?! Not that I'm complaining because it's the most convenient sushi place for me to go to, but this place is something I would expect in the city, not tucked away in a small town. What an amazing and unique variety of rolls!!! The quality of cooked and fresh food is awesome!!! Not your typical sushi place with same hum drum rolls. I LOVE this place!! I can't believe it's not as busy as I would expect for a great sushi place, but maybe the word just needs to get out there more. Please take a visit! You won't regret it!!! read more

I love this place so much!!!! My sister and I go here all the time and have tried everything on the menu! It is such a great place they treat us like family there and the prices are great! read more

Loved the quality and presentation of food. My service was amazing and food came out quickly. The menu had so many good choices I had a hard time selecting. read more

Amazing place. I wish they had some more traditional rolls and less rolls with cheese, however the owner/sushi chef is amazing and I have never had a bad roll there. The chop chop roll is one of my favorites and the Dragon roll is just to die for. They have takoyaki which is fairly priced and I look forward to trying their beef tataki!!! Been twice this week and will definitely return! read more

Favorite Restuarant in Fort Saskatchewan, excellent variety and fresh food. Service always friendly. Dragon Heart and Tuna Tataki .... the BEST read more

So to start what I've eaten was great......it ends there the service is horrible. They are quick to bring you drinks that's where it ends no knowledge of the menu and the food comes incredibly slow friend and I went there first night in town spent 130$ and it took 3hr. Tonight I was served a beer and sunomono salad in 1.5hr I'm going to give it one more chance. read more

Best place for sushi. We love it here so much, friendly staff that recognize you and always tasty food. Their nigiri are my favourite

Great environment, lovely bamboo Japanese fountain. I sampled several types of food. Mostly the sushi. I would recommend the sushi here mainly because it seems to be the house specialty. The Sushi chef has some very original recipes that were created by him. When you come in order a pot of tea and look through the new menu. Some very interesting rolls on it. read more

Great sushi. Have gone in weekly for the past couple of months. They worked out their growing pains. Very fresh and quick. Highly recommend this restaurant for great Japanese. read more

So good! I'm so happy we have a great Japanese restaurant in fort! We eat here all the time and its consistently good. The staff are lovely!

We had a wonderful experience here from our first appetizer to our final plate of sushi. The service is prompt and informative and the layout and ambiance of the restaurant was great but it was the food that made this meal absolutely fantastic. They had some modern twists on traditional Japanese food and then some classics that made for a terrific dining experience. We will defiantly be back here more often. read more

Amazing sushi, service and people and a lot cheaper then Sumo in the park or most places in Edmonton

Good as far as Asian fusion cuisine goes. They're California rolls, pickled ginger and wasabi aren't as good as some I've had - the wasabi is strong, but too thick, and the pickled ginger is just kind of flat. The California rolls are lacking something, I'm not sure what. Also the tastes in their Bento boxes aren't really distinct, they all seem to run together a bit. But a worthy addition to the Fort when you're hankering for sushi. read more

Great to have a first class dining experience here in Fort Sask! Great food and great device all round! Al welcome and refreshing experience. read more

Dinner was excellent .... Our server was great he was able to discuss the menu and offer suggestions. The one think I really didn't like was the chef or kitchen assistant had family and or friends in who we found to be very loud! Had one little girl roller skate by our table at least 10 times. Felt like the last part of our meal was rushed as I just wanted to get out. read more

What a great oasis in the middle of Alberta. I've eaten sushi all over and I would rank Hanabi in the top 3. The service was incredible and nigiri was so fresh. The flavours and atmosphere were great! I highly recommend Hanabi. Ft. Saskatchewan is lucky to have you. read more

Went there tonight to get take out. The restaurant is very nice and clean!! The staff are friendly and make you feel welcome. I got a few different things from the menu. The tempura batter was incredibly light, and not greasy. The sushi was nice and fresh. Just an amazing place! read more

Excellent food and friendly service. A nice unique addition to the Fort. We will definitely go back.

I went here today and they had an extensive menu with many unique rolls. The service was great, and so was the food. I've tried many sushi restaurants, and this is one of the best. My only disappointment was that the crab in their rolls is not authentic. I inquired about this before ordering and the waitress quickly told me that no the crab was not real. I just ordered rolls that did not include crab, and they were fantastic. By far some of the best sushi I have ever had. read more

The Fort has sushi finally yay. My husband and I poped in here yesterday on a whim. We had pulled into the parking lot to find somewhere to eat when I saw the sign. The staff was super nice and friendly. Our waitress was very nice and attentive. Now the super important stuff the food. So awesome not what you would claim traditional sushi should be but does that actually matter when it tastes amazing? for Appies my husband and I ordered the beef salad roll and the smoked duck carpaccio. The beef salad roll was super tasty and refreshing which surprised us. The smoked duck was delicious. I love me a good smoked duck this was cut nicely and had the perfect layer of fat on it. For our main we had the spicy tuna tempura maki, the red devil roll, Caribbean roll and the devil's kiss roll. All were very unique, the devil's kiss had wine apple which I was unsure of when I ordered it cause really apple and wine on sushi. it was awesome it definitely added to the roll. Both of the devil rolls had some heat to them but not burn your face off don't actually get to tase anything heat just a nice gentle amount. We will definetly be going back and soon. I am eyeing up the Phoenix roll and the Black pearl for next time. I'm pretty sure my daughter is going to love the Fruit rainbow roll. Reall excited about this place. read more
