I love there miso soup and there salad dressing other than that ehhh. I've been there like 9 times now and every single time the waitresses just ignore you i have had alot of bad service but man they just suck. If i go there i like to just order take out because they are going to make you wait, and i always have to get up and go to the counter to beg for a box or the check or something. The pieces of meat they use for there beef and chicken are always so fatty and griselly. I wish they would use better meat. I wish I could reccomend them but the service is alway so bad i just can't. read more

Quality sushi. Must admit I was skeptical--Martinez and sushi are words you don't hear together very often. I tried the heart attack, Shrek and hot date rolls, all were delicious!!! Service was ehh, my date and I lacked place settings but our food came out fast. We will definitely be back. read more

My favorite sushi spot in Martinez. Fast, clean service. Price is reasonable. Good desert and appetizer menu as well. The only bad gets packed not much space. read more

Although I definitely prefer Damo Sushi, Hanabi Sushi is a very good sushi place. The food is always good and I've never had a poor experience here. It is not usually overly busy and the food always gets to you at a fairly rapid pace. A nice touch at this place is that you usually get a free pot of tea. For sushi restaurants, the menu selection is very average, but all of the food on the menu is very good so it's not really a problem. read more

Went with family on New Year's Eve. Kids ordered bento box combination dinner. The beef teriyaki was tough and doused in over sweet store bought sauce. The teak don (fried pork) was so thin and was basically just the "batter". Sushi was ok but the albacore roll was very good. Also ordered the scallop roll, dragon roll and hot nite roll. Service was poor as they never refilled our water and were completely inflexible in adjusting the bento box combinations although I was willing to pay for the change (adding steak) which forced us to pay for another over priced steak dinner. Will not return. read more

Great fresh fish and sashimi combo is my regular order, only wished for better ambiance. Dont expect conversation with chefs and staff and if they had music i'd order more Sapporo. read more

2 stars for the food only! Lousy, rude, and pissed off waitresses. My husband and I came for lunch as we were around the area. We ordered 2 bento boxes and asked for some lemon for our water, some tea and salad dressing on the side but the rude waitress in black outfit barely acknowledged us. And when she did, she was quite nasty and RUDE. She acted as if we should be honored to be eating at their establishment. The other waitress in red didn't even know how to say thank you after we paid the bill. Were they ever taught MANNERS 101? As a result of their disgusting attitude, we will not be returning! We can take our business elsewhere. We will be going to Yokoso Japanese restaurant in pleasant hill. They are owned by Japanese, serving authentic, delicious Japanese food. Not fake Japanese restaurant like hanabi sushi owned by Korean people! read more

The service was horrible I ordered the tempra roll with no fish eggs but they still put fish eggs so I return the order when they brought it back you could tell they just wiped it off because it it still had some fish eggs, I told the waitress I wanted a new order and she gave me attitude so I got up and left ill never be back again read more

This place is Amazing. The menu is extensive and the food is Perfectly prepared. Definitely worth repeted visits

Family has been going to Hanabi Martinez now for 4+ years. Consistently good quality. Service can be a bit slow if they are busy. I would recommend to friends and family. read more

Favorite sushi by far and the price is perfect! I could eat here 24/7, the service is nice and the food is always the best

This is a OK sushi bar. The rolls are average and if you need a quick sushi fix then go here. Prices are average, but so is the sushi. Nothing really to brag about. The service is average also when I dine here. read more

3.5 stars!! =) I was having an awful day earlier in the week, and it was suggested that we go out for sushi for lunch! Boy, did this place brighten my day! It is definitely a great find in the Martinez area!! We ordered the Dorris roll and Dragon Roll. Since I prefer spicy foods, the Dorris roll was definitely my fav! My rating may seem rather low based on my qualitative review b/c of course, I have to be fair, and rate in comparison to say, SF sushi. However, I do want to drive the point home that the food is great, staff is efficient and friendly, and you can go at lunchtime (12:20 ish) and be out of there in 25 minutes=AMAZING! This will definitely not be the last visit at Hanabi b/c I'm sure there will be days when I need that Sushi pick-me-up!! read more

I work not too far from this place, and come here often for lunch. You can't beat the price of their Lunch Box! Service is OK; the food always comes out quickly. However, they always seem to be in a rush to get you out of there because I always get my check about five minutes into my meal. They are usually busy though, so I don't mind. It's nice that they have a small out-door seating are, when the weather is nice. read more

Best sushi I have had in the East Bay! especially the titanic roll!

Just your typical korean owned Japanese place with not so fresh sushi and a million different rolls piled in with sauces and more rice. You can tell by the coloration that it didn't look fresh. Tempura sauce isn't authentic as it didn't have the grated daikon...little things like that and quality make all the difference. read more

Great sushi! Probably best in Martinez if your looking for real sushi. Only thing is double check your order before getting take out as they've messed up my order a few times. Other than that great food! read more

Smallest portion of salmon teriyaki in the lunch bento that I have ever received. So small that even my three year old was still hungry and asking for more food after she ate everything. Greasy tempura with raw and hard veggies. Better quality elsewhere. read more

I've tried a lot of sushi bar, but this is by far my favorite. It does get busy on some nights, but mostly I've been lucky. I like the comfortable small restaurant feel to it. The service is pretty good. The food here is excellent! Now I rarely go to other sushi places unless I'm out of town. read more

Little place in a strip mall...unassuming. Had some neat specials on the menu out front and a friend suggested it so I was at least ready to give it a shot. The prices are average, about $9-12 per roll. Many of the rolls are VERY similar where only one or two things change (for instance my roll was the same as my friends except I had spicy tuna on top, hers was inside). It was a bit daunting to figure out all the menu items because there were so many BUT they all looked and sounded delish! Tea and munchies of tofu, beans and broccoli were brought as soon as we sat down which was nice. Being that we came on a lunch break the waitress promptly took our order and we were in/out in a half hour - amazing! Sushi that fast is usually questionable but the service was polite, and the food very, very fresh. Oh and on a personal note...i LOOOOOOVE the pickled ginger. When my sushi plate came with a huge, heaping pile all for me I was giddy. As much as I enjoyed my roll, THAT is what really made me happy :) read more

Omg!! The best California Rolls I have ever tried. Love the price and the lunch menu they offer. Parking is ok and they always have my lunch ready for pick up. read more

I love this place! Prices are reasonable, service is good, and they always have fresh salmon (my favorite)! I can always count on ordering exactly what I like from here and the food never disappoints me. I highly recommend this place! read more

I did not eat at this establishment and discourage everyone else from eating here. My partner and I visited Hanabi Sushi, after noting its high reviews, but we were discriminated against and essentially refused service. We walked in and the server did not seat us, tossed the menus on a table five feet away from us, and walked off. Initially, we expected that they was frustrated as they had just opened, so we grabbed a table. The server did not return to our table. An older white couple walked in after about fifteen minutes of us waiting. They were verbally greeted, seated, had their menus set on the table, once it was selected, and were promptly brought water. About five minutes later, the server returned and took their order. We noticed the discriminate service and immediately left. It was clear that the staff did not want to serve us and we no longer wanted to offer our business. Although, I did not try the food, I am writing this review because the staff's behavior at Hanabi was blatantly racist and abhorrent. I hope others reconsider bringing them business. read more

Food is good service is not the greatest. Could definitely be cleaner. One thing they definitely should add is teriyaki dipping sauce

I went back to the Martinez resturante with another person who likes the food there. Even after I told him of my rotten experience that i had there a few short weeks earlier. I was very reluctant on going back. I figured ok, I'll give it a second shot. Well, we stayed outside and placed our orders. When we got our rolls. We were both shocked at what we were seeing. Our rolls were as bad as they got. The avocados were brown, the rice was falling of the rolls, and the rolls were opened and falling apart. In order for us to eat our rolls we had to pinch them together. It was painfully obvious to the both of us that the mexican chef they have is dragging the quality of the food down. Get rid of the Mexican chef. He doesn't care anymore about the quality of the food. My partner apologized for dragging me there and said he will never go back to Hanabi Sushi again. read more

I get the takeout. Rolls seem to be good and the terriaki chicken is pretty good. this would be 3.5 stars if there were 1/2 stars. seems like a lot or people eat there. looks clean and nicely decorated. read more

One of my favorite places for sushi. Can't beat the prices, especially for the lunch & dinner specials.

I went here for lunch and got the bento box, which is a decent size for lunch and for the price. My complaint, I got the tempura and there was only one shrimp?! read more

I come here at least once a month and I love the Shoryu Ramen. I have yet to try everything in this place and love coming here for lunch. The place is a little cramp for big groups. Overall I the service was fast and non intrusive. read more

Mediocre sushi at best. Service abrupt. I feel like I'm putting them out by placing an order. I gave them four tries and I'm completely done. read more

Been living in martinez for 7 yrs now (used to live in sf) and this is the best sushi place in the area. Their sake sashimi rivals any sf sushi house, it is buttery and amazing. Love their rolls such as the sf, tempura and dragon. Tempura is good too but definitely better when you eat it in house. Great sushi for a reasonable price and friendly service. read more

Great takeout service. In my experience, it's ready to go 15-20 mins after I call in an order. Love the Golden Gate and the Heart Attack (spicy). Huge selection with a lot of special rolls. read more

Fresh & reasonably priced! Try the shrek roll, Arnold roll, yummy yummy crispy, monkey balls, & (my fave) poke. All are under $10.

Been here many times, mainly because I am in love with their Vegas Roll. Aside from that, their service is hit or miss, mostly miss though. There is one waitress who is very friendly and provides excellent service, the others are rude, short and don't really check up on you at all. Do NOT get the fried calamari, they give you barely any and for the price, it's a total rip off. My ex boyfriend I used to go with LOVED their lion king roll (I think that's what it was called) though I am not a fan of baked sushi. I, personally, haven't tried much other than my Vegas Roll and the calamari. I will keep going back for the Vegas Roll, but probably take-out so I don't feel obligated to tip a rude waitress. read more

Local sushi place.. have to say, it's probably the best Japanese place in Martinez. It can get busy during lunch and my suggestion is to get their Spider Hand Rolls if you like soft shell crab. It's delicious! read more

The rolls are simply beautiful and soooo tasty! Whenever I feel like sushi, this is it for me! The prices are super fair and the variety is amazing! Love their hand rolls! They are a great way to fill up a bit! 2 of those and you are good to go! Even though I never only order the hand roll cause it's impossible! Too good! read more

I normally write great reviewd but I had to say something. So I chose this place because it's right across from where I was staying for the night. I ordered the heart attack roll, kappa roll, miso, and edamame with a glass of water. I was looking for something spicy so I thought the heart attack roll would be a great choice with the spicy tuna, jalapeños &spicy crab. It was pretty good but I wasn't expecting pickled jalapeños which threw the taste off. Then, I went with my fail proof kappa (cucumber) roll but it was ALL rice with a thin slice of cucumber, and just one. I took all 6 tiny slices of cucumber out of the rolls, scraped the rice mostly off one piece, and made what I would consider one GOOD piece rolled back up. The miso was overly salty, and the only thing they managed to make decent was the edamame. *Note to self. Always ask for light rice.* read more

I would give more stars but the service is HORRENDOUS!! The sushi rolls are great. Food is prompt. But again, the service is horrible. We have been more than once and it's the same, "service" every time. If you order a soda make sure you order a water at the same time because the waitress won't be back to give you a refill. You're lucky if they clear your table dishes from your appetizer even when they bring your entree. Don't expect them to tell you which roll is which or ask if everything is okay either. You can ask for another napkin or box to go but they won't respond they just fling it at you. Not to mention all the waitresses are this bad. The owner really needs to hire new servers with some basic friendliness, seems like they servers might be over worked and hate their jobs. Food is good but service is awful, so at least you won't have to tip very much! read more

My family and I love coming to this place to eat sushi. Our favorites are the R&B and the heart attack sushi. Their staff is friendly and helpful. read more

This place has great food! Prices are good but the decor and the size are awful! You can tell it's an old place, floors are shotty but if you don't look it's worth it for the food read more
