We ordered delivery from here and I'm a fan! Very reasonably priced fare, and good quality too. My bf got the Chirashi Sushi (bed of sushi rice topped with assorted fresh sashimi) for a mere $14.50 (i've seen other places have it for $20+! meep!) and also the Tokyo fried chicken. He said the sashimi was fresh and happily munched away. I ordered one of their bento boxes- the Tokyo Fried Chicken and pork gyoza. Very large portion, with the chicken sitting atop the rice (maybe like 6 large pieces? NICE) and 5 gyoza, with a nice salad on the side. For $10, its a good deal. Excited to order more from them! Good bang for your buck. read more

I typically go to Sashimi Express, but today I didn't have any cash and was too lazy to go to the nearest ATM on a weekend. I decided to try out a nearby cheap sushi place and found this place on Yelp. I forgot to take a picture before I ate half the sushi already. It was more expensive than sashimi express but honestly the rolls were bigger and I felt more full afterwards. This isn't Michelin star quality sushi, but for someone who's on a budget and wants something quick and cheap, the lunch special is a great deal. I shared one maki combo with miso soup it with my boyfriend and I was actually full afterwards. If you're looking for cheap sushi that doesn't force you to carry a wad of cash around, then this is definitely the place. Loved the free soup too, and the lunch special is applicable on weekends!

Hanabi - Ate half the sushi already before this pic, but this is half of the lunch special (applicable on weekends!) - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I just ordered via Uber Eats a salmon teriyaki bento box with tempura and California roll. It tasted truly awful. The salmon and rice tasted old and sweaty. the California roll was subpar and the tempura was mostly fried oil and not that much shrimp. Very disappointed spending money on such a bad tasting order. DO NOT order takeout from here - won't be ordering again. read more

Ordered takeout twice from here. The first time was all sushi and it was decently good, so we ordered again. Chicken udon was inedible, literally. I ended up throwing it out. Mango peanut avocado salad was bizarre tasting and just didn't taste great. The sushi rolls were again decently good. I think skip this one unless you're desperate for sushi and there are no other options. read more

I loved hanabi!! i always order it on uber eats. the fish is always fresh and the age tofu is DIVINEEEEE

Last night I went out to get myself a hot Japanese meal. The menu had a lot of options to cater anyone's taste,especially in the sushi section, plenty of variety and the platters look amazing! I had gotten an order of basic ramen and some amazing mochi, which I definitely recommend, the lady at the front desk packed it perfectly and it kept warm an hour later when I got home! The only thing I may complain about is pricing but nonetheless great food from a small family business read more

So good and the fastest delivery on the UES. It will be at your apartment in 10 minutes or less, guarenteed! They also even threw in a mask for me! read more

I came here after work one day because I wanted tempura, sushi and a full meal. So I ordered the chicken teriyaki bento which came with tempura, california roll, salad, and chicken teriyaki. The presentation of it waa beautiful. They served a decent portion for 14.95 (i had gotten a soda). I enjoyed the freshness of it. The chicken didnt have enough flavor. I was repulsed by an employee coughing and hawking spit every 10 minutes which is also why i gave a 2 star rating. It was nauseating. read more

AVOID! Do not get delivery! Waited forever for lukewarm slimy fish? Ew! Also the deliver person got mad at the 10% tip....don't need the attitude or the food! read more

Ordered lunch from them. I had the dinosaur egg, Ocean roll, and Wild wild east roll. They were all amazing. I really liked the mango inside of the Wild wild east rolls. It adds in a fruity, sweet and sour flavor to the roll. It complements tempura shrimp really well. Sweets with fried food is my favorite. Also, the mayo and eel sauce goes really well together. I really like seafood so the Ocean roll was prefect for me. Their bento box also looks really delicious, but I was too full to order one. There seem to be a lot of options and varieties in the bento boxes. I will definitely try it next time. Everything was prepared pretty quickly and the staff was friendly. Their prices are very reasonable.I do recommend others try this place. read more

I ordered the lunch special chicken teriyaki. It comes with soup, salad, and California roll. The soup was delicious, the salad was good with the ginger dressing, the California roll was o.k. kani was sliced in half, the roll looked skimpy. The main disappointment was the chicken teriyaki. The chicken looked like oval dark meat pieces with ligaments on the ends. I'm used to eatting chicken teriyaki as a grilled sliced white meat chicken breast with sauce over. Overall I would not order from there again. read more

5 star experience. 5 star workers. 5 star food. The workers by the register go above and beyond for customers. The food is always delicious, fresh and they arent cheap with the portions. The price is reasonable. I always have a fantastic time when I come here. Sometimes I think of the sushi at this location when Im at anther sushi location, thats how fantastic this place is. They offer a larger variety of sushi than other restaurants. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Ugggh, another review based on a "Lunch Special," because I was able to find parking. $10 bucks got me a Tokyo Fried Chicken (Chicken Kara age) & Shumai special, also available with a California Roll in place of Shumai. Small side of green salad, 6 shumai, 4 or 5 pieces of fried chicken. Fresh, hot, & yummy. Very similar to a lunch platter served at the defunct Teriyaki Boy location over by Fordham's Manhattan campus. Need a quick, reasonably priced, lunch and/or dinner option, with friendly, helpful staff? Hanabi's a great choice. Many other menu options, that I'll have to try (Teriyaki, Tempura, Hand Rolls, Japanese - Style Curry), but I've got a thing for Fried Chicken. What meat eater doesn't? read more

I ordered a Shrimp Pad Thai today for delivery, and was too disappointed! No taste at all! I called the restaurant and spoke to the receptionist, and while i was complaining about the food she kept interrupting me and said that is how Pad Thai is cooked. I mentioned it a few times that the noodles had no taste or sauce at all. But she said they cooked the noodles with the sauce! I gave up because she wasn't even listening to my complaint. So i took a picture of my Pad Thai that i barely ate. If they want they can pick it up here! Still sitting here! read more

It is small, but very clean place. Both price and food are good. And people at the restaurant are very nice. karaage was tasty, tempra was very crunchy. I will definitely go back. read more

TLDR: great prices, so-so food Prices here are crazy awesome. When you're looking for a quick sushi fix, this isn't a bad choice. It's not great by any means, but I got 3 rolls (spicy tuna, spicy salmon, spicy yellowtail...I forget) all for $8.75. It wasn't real spicy, but it was decent. I'm curious as to the other dishes on the menu. I'd try the soup or katsu sometime. read more

Fast, tasty, clean, cheap, and fast. yes I said fast twice, they delivered in 20minuets. That was my first time and it wouldn't be the last. read more

Something possessed me to go in here on desperate hunt for sushi when I had only 45 minutes to spare. Bad choice, Christina. The interior is average but what pulled me in was that I saw that it was moderately crowded during lunch and had lots of pen air flowing through the place. Perfect for a quick solo lunch I thought. I went with two rolls and a miso soup. The soup was pretty good and not too salty but boy was I disappointed when I saw those rolls come out. I had a spicy salmon cucumber and another that was tuna avocado with spicy red pepper. Even though they each came with 8 pieces, they were the smallest pieces you'll ever see with hardly any rice and little to no cucumber.I know that a high fish to rice ratio is suppose to be a good thing but I like my rice too and these rolls had hardly any! Not very appealing to the eye and not very tasty either. Both rolls were pretty bland and just not worth the price. I ended up paying 14$ including tip, very overpriced for the quality. If you know me you know I hate wasting food so I sat there and ate my sushi forcibly and with regrets. While I've had worse sushi, this experience would probably be in there with some of the worst. 2 Stars only for really fast service and quiet location. Also, the hot food didn't look too bad so if you must come here, go for a bento box NOT sushi like my genius a$$ did. read more

YES. I paid $10 for 3 rolls with 6 pieces each. Fresh, delicious, and what a bargain! The staff were extremely friendly and even came over to introduce themselves to my friend who is a weekly regular. I don't live in the city, but will definitely be going back to Hanabi next time I'm in town! Great place for a nice casual meetup with an old friend :) read more

I originally was going to order for delivery via seamless, but since they had such great reviews on seamless, my boyfriend and I decided to haul ourselves over and it was such a bad decision. First of all, the girl at the counter told us to take a seat anywhere we'd like and we had to get our own menu. Being that we were sitting down (you know like you do at a restaurant), I thought I would have her approach us to take our order. According to NYC law, any place that has a certain amount of seats is required to have a bathroom and it is considered a restaurant. Maybe I assumed wrong? But this is not a sit-down restaurant and you won't get served. Well anyways, we ordered our food: The gyoza came on a styrofoam plate Miso soup in a plastic to go container Plastic spoons The pad Thai was bland with sticky eggs and large peanuts (if you eat pad Thai you know the way it's supposed to come The lady didn't bring soy sauce with our sushi which was the smallest rolls ever--barely any rice and blandddddd) This was not worth the $45 we spent and I've been to cheaper sushi places with extraordinary food! Sadly enough, my hungry tummy left full but unhappy. read more

Can get a little chaotic when the students from a nearby school come over to eat lunch, but otherwise it's pretty quite once they leave. It a has a. Huge selection of Japanese food, and I recommend the chicken teriyaki, it's really good! It's a cozy area and they play some good pop music. I definitely recommend! read more

Evaluating Sushi For Dummies... Basic fact 1: All sushi is similar sushi. I say similar and not "same" b/c only slight variations set good sushi apart from bad sushi. Unless one is ordering a specialty roll, then a California Roll is going to be a California Roll almost wherever one goes. With that said to me price makes all the difference when evaluating sushi. My tidbit for comparing option 1 to option 2 is, pick a roll at option 1, for example sticking with the Cal. Roll, and compare its price to the price of option 2. Boom! There you have it. A Cal. Roll at Hanabi is $3.25 and when you put that up against Cal. Rolls from one of the many other sushi places on the UES $3.25 doesn't look that bad. I had the Maki Combo B, 3 basic rolls for 8.75, and it was good. But the price could be better, and the rolls could be bigger. The formula for what makes a successful sushi restaurant seems so obvious, yet so many sushi joints miss the mark -- Creative rolls and creative pricing. read more

This is a so so japanese restaurant. Their cooked food is sufficient, but I wouldn't eat anything raw from this place. It is relatively cheap and very basic. read more

Ordered this sushi for delivery and it took over an hour to arrive. They got the order slightly wrong and didn't include chopsticks. Overall not impressed - didn't taste really high quality either. There are other options that are much better in the area. read more

Whenever you have a Japanese place run by Chinese people, the result is usually ugly. This isn't an exception. The place itself is cute and tiny. Food is served at the counter in trays. My girlfriend's teriyaki chicken was alright, but my beef udon was soggy and flavorless. I'm always amazed at how simple dishes like this can go so wrong. One of the managers needs to try Udon West or Onya, and learn how to make udon work. On the plus side, it was cheap, and quick. read more

Hey, I've had some of the best sushi in the world, and some of the worst. When it comes to your neighborhood go to location for delivery and pick up the number one issue for me is consistency and price. They have by far the best prices, and I've eaten there maybe fifty times in my life and have never felt sick. Their bento box deals are pretty ridiculous, I almost question where the food comes from, because for 6.99 you are getting endles food. The sushi is great, always fresh, I tend to only eat post tuesday, and avoid sunday, but I do that will all sushi places. Above all they are friendly, and feel blessed to have your business. read more

Worst food I've had in a while. They sent nasty chewy, pink and uncut chicken. Thought they'd get it right the 2nd time but it was worse than the first. How do you mess up a chicken cutlet? I have no energy or time to waste waiting for a new meal. I spent $10 to only eat the white rice smh. read more

Hanabi - Wth kind of chicken is this? Worst "chicken katsu" ever. - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

My order today was quite good. I've had better gyoza, but it wasn't terrible. I gave this a 3 star rating because of the inconsistencies I've noticed with this restaurant. I've ordered from here on several occasions. I get the spicy tuna and/or some kind of specialty roll with spicy tuna. I've found that when I have my food delivered in the early afternoon, the rolls are very good, however, when they have been delivered after 4pm - I don't know what it is or the reason behind it - the sushi has a disgusting texture to it and I have to throw it away. I decided to try my luck again today and it was a home run. read more

Had this delivered for lunch at my work Delivery was quite okay altho I had to wait awhile and call them back to confirm if they got lost but I could understand that. I ordered the Beef Teriyaki bento box. Sushi was ok. The ginger sauce on the salad was very salty I could'nt even appreciate the whole thing. When it came to the main course, I almost choked of the beef pieces that were not even fully cooked. I mean I do eat half cooked meat but men,, this one almost took my teeth out trying to chew it...Ddint even finish my meal. coz I couldnt.... read more

Hanabi is a nice place to grab a quick dinner for take out. Although it's not authentically Japanese, it still gets by for serving your typical Japanese dishes like chicken/beef teriyaki, sushi rolls, and noodles. I decided to try their ramen. For $8.25, you get a nice big bowl of ramen with miso base soup, char siu (pork), bean sprouts, fish cake, scallion, and an egg. I honestly cannot compare it to Totto Ramen or Ippudo but for a small shop like this, it's not too bad. However, I think they overcooked the ramen a little bit so it's not as chewy as I would normally prefer. The place has a few tables for seating. It kind of reminds me of a Chinese take-out place but much cleaner. read more

I'm a regular and always get the salmon teriyaki w either shumai or tempura...its the best bang for your buck and it tastes really good. Just tell them you want your salmon slices on the thicker end, bc they tend to give really paper thin ones... Everything else is mediocre. You can't beat the price & the salmon teriyaki is one of my comfort foods on the UES. If you want really good, I mean good sushi go to Oita Sushi. It's fresh it's good it's healthy... If you do go here, get my favorite! read more

They gave me a quick, on-time delivery, but that didn't help the fact that the food was very disgusting and bland. I ordered a Salmon Lover Platter, a Pink Lady Roll, Tako Yaki, Yaki Soba, and a thing of white rice. The pink lady roll was stiff and chewy, especially the avocado. All I could taste on the roll included with the Salmon Lover platter was the spice. The rice wasn't soft enough, and had no flavor whatsoever. I was hoping the Yaki Soba would at least be redeeming, but no. Bland like everything else. The only thing that had any taste to it was the Tako Yaki, so I'll give them praise for it. In spite of that, I don't find myself ordering from here again. read more

I order delivery from this place mainly for their chicken teriyaki. They make it how I like it: marinated and grilled thigh meat. Not the tasteless chicken "strands" most sushi places pass off as teriyaki. Only downside is the smallish portions. I've been spoiled by most places that leave me with decent amount of leftovers but not this place. But you really can't find this meal for such a great price ($6.50) outside of teriyaki boy. Chicken very tender and tasty. Not too sweet. Comes with salad and rice. (see pic) This place also has decent kim chee (see pic). Suspiciously fast delivery. read more

Ordered a Hanabi Special Ramen through Seamless because the delivery time was quick and the ramen wasn't too pricy. Order did arrive on time, but the soup was just okay. Bland broth, but made a bit better with some spicy sauce that came with the soup; I wanted to add more soy sauce to it. The pork is chewy and like a pork chop, whereas I was expecting something more slow-cooked/falling apart. The soft boiled egg was definitely hard boiled and older, with a black ring around the yolk. Still tasty, though, despite these hangups. Not bad, but I don't think I'll order from them again. read more

It was ok. We got the roll combo with tuna roll California roll and "Alaska" roll. The standard rolls were normal but the Alaskan roll was not what was expected. It was supposed to be raw salmon outside of an Californian roll or some version of raw salmon. Instead we got a cooked salmon avocado roll. While there was nothing wrong with it I was disappointed it was not a true Alaskan roll. read more
