I loved this place because the prices were great, service was great and food came out really quick, and there was a good amount of variety. I wished I remember my rolls but I wasn't able too. They have many options and loved the prices. Way better than Yo sushi if you are comparing what's in Martinez. One thing I didn't like was I wish there was chicken sesame and I didn't like that you had to go thru the kitchen to use the restroom. read more

Great prices! Great portions and good quality food. Especially coming from the bay area, these prices are killer for the amount of food they give with good quality! There are so many options of food and combos with amazing lunch deals. Better than another sushi place nearby. Good place for groups of people craving different things. We got a bento box - option A which had California roll, seaweed salad, gyoza, shrimp tempura (2) and veggie tempura, rice and teriyaki salmon, 5 sashimi pieces, soup, salad, rand rice for only 18.95. we also got sashimi combo with twenty pieces, soup, salad for only 19.95. nice thick slices and variety as shown in pics Left full and happy! Parking aplenty. read more

Ordered in from here and really liked their sushi! I had the spicy scallop handroll, which actually had some spice and a bunch of scallops, which was great! Also had the spicy California (it was ok) and the salmon lover (yummy!) and the best surprise was the Boston roll (loved the crunch in the roll). My only slight complaint is that I wish there was a little less rice on the rolls. Otherwise, solid sushi place! read more

Always busy and always good service with great priced sushi rolls that taste amazing!! After going several other local places we decided to venture out in search of good rolls with good service and Hanabi came to the rescue! We liked it so much we came back two more times that's same week! Somehow I only managed to get one photo of their Spider Roll! This was on the special menu with 2 rolls for $18.99!! Great price and these are some nice sized rolls!! Pretty sure we will be here every week! I recommend their Rainbow Roll and next time I'll try to get a pic before I devour it! You should try this place! ETA: returned again for 3 nights in a row and managed to capture another photo of our 3 rolls: Godzilla (in back) Martinez (middle) Rainbow (in front). Amazing again and great service! ETA again went back and enjoyed the Fantastic Oreo for desert (also Rainbow Roll and Tempura Roll and Dragon Roll. All Delicious!! You have to try the Fantastic Oreo!! read more

Excellent sushi rolls and very reasonably priced. The sushi rice is so soft and tasty! Best California roll that I've ever had!

The food is okayish. I want it to be good because it's within walking distance. The service is good and ambience is nice.

So I've been coming to this place since they opened back in the early 2000s! I must of been a preteen when they first opened. And I must say that their food has not changed one bit. I ordered their combo sashimi plate which gave you about 6 different pieces of thick cuts of fish. The fish was super fresh and the rice was cooked just right! I always have a pleasant food experience when I order from here. I would recommend this place to whomever is in Martinez and is in need of a Japanese cuisine fix! Even though I had sashimi today doesn't mean I've never had their bento boxes! They are also super yummy and portions are bigger than most places I've been to. My order was to go and it was made within 20 mins so wait time was not that long! Bottom line: this is the place to be! read more

We came here for dinner at Saturday night, but we had a really unpleasant experience! It was hard to get the staffs attention, we needed to wait for along time before they noticed us. But what was the most unbelievable thing happened to us was the service charge. They did not told us there would be a service charge included in the total price when we sat down, and they did not told us there was a service charge when we got the bill. We nearly double tipping them. When we asked them why we were not told ahead of the time, and there was no sign that said we would be charge with service fee mandatorily, one of the staff told us that the( substitutions are extra charge means we had to paid the service charge!) Excuses me! What was this? What was more, the serve got so angry and yelled at us. She said we did not want to tip them. We did tip them 10 dollars at the end. However, we were not happy. Please pay attention when you come here. We did not need to double tipping! read more

I've been working by Hanabi for a number of years now and have only been here twice which after my last experience I see was doing myself a disservice! Came for lunch with two friends and we got the bento boxes you're able to chose from a list what you want in your box and it comes with soup and salad it was so good!! I was so happy with my experience i came back and got some sushi I got the tornado roll (i believe that's what it is) and the titanic roll and OMG the titanic roll is absolutely delicious!! I've gotten it to-go 3 times since then! Safe to say I might be addicted to this roll it was crab and the sauce and it's just so good!! Can't wait to bring my sushi loving best friend to try this place because I am highly impressed!! read more

Came wih the family yesterday cause I was craving sushi. Came around 5pmish so was not packed as of yet. Hubby order a bento box and I ordered a roll suggested by our waitress. Hubby's bento was enough to share between two..wish we had just done that instead of ordering my roll & his. Needless to say we had too much food and had to get two take home boxes. Wish they had a small bento for the kid or just a teriyaki bowl. My 7yr old had to order their kid bento box. I had to help her finished it cause it was way too much for her. Combo came with a salad and miso soup which we found way to heavy on the salt. Price is average for sushi..cost for a family was about $50. That included the monster edamamon ($5) & two drinks ($3 each). Next time I would not order another (8pcs) roll and maybe just order a smaller roll ($5-6) & just share the bento boxes with the hubby and kid. Service was good and you can definitely see regulars coming for take out and dining in. We'll be back just order less next time. read more

The sushi has gone downhill. There's only 1 sushi chef employed that is consistent and knows how to make great sushi (older Asian man), but he's not there a lot. Which is a shame because he is the only one that holds that place together. The other two- the rolls fall apart, the rice is mushy, over sauced, always inconsistent and to top it off, the Mexican sushi maker is absolutely one of the rudest persons I've ever encountered in a restaurant, and talks horribly about his customers in Spanish while you are literally sitting in front of him. I have seen him yell at customers. I've seen him completely disrespect his fellow sushi chefs in such a disgusting manner it literally made me sick. I lost my lunch' He has no business whatsoever behind a sushi bar. Owner probably doesn't know but he has chatted up illegal business to his Spanish speaking customers. I'm surprised he's not fired yet. He has zero concept of how to remain professional. I'm done ordering from here. Order from the other Hanabi. Food and energy is way better. read more

FYI THEY SELL RETURNED FOOD. I placed an order for pick up over the phone and ordered the spicy salmon bowl. When I got home and opened it up I saw that they had given me a salmon special roll (also ordered bbq combo bento & salmon love roll). I called to let them know that they gave me the wrong order and the lady on the phone said that I ordered the spicy salmon special I corrected her and told her no we ordered the spicy salmon bowl. After about five minutes of arguing with her over her mistake, she told me that they would make me one and I can go back to the restaurant and pick it up. I arrived at the restaurant and she tried to charge me $18 for a mistake she made. She told me that because I didn't bring the wrong roll they made she wasn't able to give me the original meal I ordered for free. I asked her why do you need the roll back, are you going to sell it?and she replied YES we would resell that. After I told her that's repulsive and I couldn't believe she said that they would resell the roll, she finally threw chopsticks and soy sauce in the bag and basically threw the bag at me. We've been going to Hanabi for over 20 years but will never be returning again based on the fact that they sell returned food. Not to mention, The remainder of our meal was awful. The beef in the barbecue combo was like beef jerky and the chicken was fatty and covered and pepper. The rice was dry, and the salmon had a weird white gristle film on the top of it, it wasn't even edible. If you're looking for sushi you should probably go to Mikuni or Kansai in Concord. read more

Go here if you like 1. Sticky tables 2. Rude waitresses 3. Rude waitresses that cut you off when you're trying to ask a question about the menu. 4. Rude waitresses totally ignore you and go to the next person in your party while you were trying to ask a question about the menu. 5. Rude waitress takes everyone's order and totally ignores you,and walks off without asking you if you would like anything on the menu. 6. Rude waitress totally ignores you when you ask to have separate checks and before you can even tell the rude waitress what items need to go on what, she walks off within two seconds of you asking for separate checks. You 7. Rude waitress gets rude with Customer when asked for two items to be put on one check. Rude waitress refuses to do that. Customer had to remind rude waitress that she ran off before Customer could tell her what items were on what. 8. rude waitress calls for another rude waitress to fix the problem. Second rude, waitress starts talking in her language in a very rude tone. Customer knows that she's saying rude things about them. 9. Customer had to remind rude waitress that I did not want to be double charged a service fee that this establishment chooses to charge certain parties. Only customers that rude waitresses pick are charge this. (Allegedly) 10. Food falling apart while you are trying to take a bite. 11. If you like getting charged a service fee for just eating there. If these are all things you enjoy. Come on down. This will be the establishment for you. PS, I didn't even get to taste the food because the waitress totally ignored me and I wasn't going to pay anymore money to this restaurant. So I can't really tell you how the food tasted. What I gather from my party that was with me. It was ok, not something they will ever come back to. Save yourself some money and go to another spot read more

We love this place! The food is always good and fresh! I see a lot of reviews giving 1 star because service is bad, but if you have worked in the service industry you would understand. These people who are waiting tables aren't just servers, they are doing so much more. I came into this place blind (having served tables for years) and my server wasn't super attentive but I could see how much she was doing in the back of the house, and honestly it was impressive. They are doing things that food runners or bussers should have been doing, but obviously this place is family run and they don't have those extra workers. PLEASE IGNORE THE NEGATIVE REVIEWS and give this place and chance because it's so good! Thank you Hanabi for a perfect date night read more

Solid 3.5 stars. Had a good meal the tempura were extra crispy and the fish was fresh. My daughters bento box with Ton Katsu looked real good and I tried the fried pork it was crispy and juicy. I enjoyed all 4 rolls we got but the titanic was the best. The food was brought out fast and the service was good. The only downside seemed they were not to good on wiping tables and the floor was dirty. I would go back though. read more

I'm very disappointed with the price tag once I got the food I was even more disappointed. there was no soup. there was just a tiny piece of salmon maybe five pieces of tempura and then a fist full of lettuce with no dressing. A little scoop of white rice ..? very disappointed! I won't be back. read more

The food is good here but the service is AWFUL! Placed an order for pickup. I had to call the order in because you can't make comments or special requests. I ordered the Salmon Teriyaki dinner with the sauce on the side. The dinner comes with several additional item choices. (Which I didn't know) and I didn't get. I had called back 5 minutes later to add a California roll and the girl took the order and hung up on me. When I arrived I had to wait at least 15 minutes and I called it in when I was 25 minutes away. I was so surprised my order wasn't ready. Lastly, I asked for soy free soy sauce and the girl snapped at me and said it was in the bag. When I got home the soy sauce was NOT soy free! I just find it crazy that someone can be so rude in the service industry! I will go elsewhere and drive to concord even though I like to support Martinez! read more

Sushi is a hit or miss. Don't think about coming here if you have time constraints or a short lunch period. If you want poor customer service this is the place for you! The cooks in the back and the guys who make the sushi are great. There are two waitresses (I wish I knew their names - but not are kind of heavy set, middle aged, both light skinned Asian, one with brassy/brown long hair and the other has short black hair) who are rude and have very poor customer service. One had the nerve to ask why we didn't tip her. Well, ma'am, you took about an hour to bring our lunch (mind you, there were only 3 other customers - whom got their food before us when we were there first), you forgot my soda and got mad when I asked you to remove it off the bill, you got an attitude and rolled your eyes when we asked for Sriracha, it is also very clear that you are talking SHIT to each other when we ask for napkins or sauce and when you were asked for a to-go box because you took FOREVER, you tossed it on the table and walked away as if it was a problem to ask. All the other wait staff are nice and lovely, but these two broads don't need to be in the restaurant business. There has been many situations with these two broads regarding missing to go items and messing up on your order. God forbid you ask for a napkin or chop sticks or sriracha or soy sauce because they will give you an attitude or roll their eyes at you then talk shit in their language so you don't know what they are saying. Please take your hard earned money some where else because no one deserves to be treated this way. The owner needs to fire their asses or put them in customer service training. I also think the Health Department needs to take a trip to the restaurant because there were gnats in their bottles of soy sauce (hence why we asked for other soy sauce). Guess it's my fault for continuing to come here for years after bad treatment over and over, but I try to give people the benefit of the doubt ... NO MORE! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE PEOPLE! read more

Really a two and a half star experience but would rather round up to three than down to two. Easy to find in a strip mall with plenty of parking. We arrived after the lunch rush so were seated right away. Our waitress quickly brought menus and took our drink order. since it was our first time there we needed time to peruse the very large menu. We settled on 4 rolls, Ninja, Godzilla, Tempura, ​and San Francisco, which we're on special 2 for $15.99. My daughter also ordered a Tempura Handroll at​​ $4.50. The rolls seemed to be full-sized​ not "mini versions sometimes served at lunch. I have s couple of ​dietary restrictions the main being no raw fish so I really enjoy coming to California where I can have Maki made with real crab and there is no shaming when I don't order raw items. The Ninja roll ​and Godzilla roll are both "raw rolls" that are tempured and deep-fried​. I had had a Ninja roll at another sushi place which was ​inside out with the hamachi​ on the outside cooking it, making it safe for me to eat. This one had the Hamachi on the inside. I took the first piece and realized my mistake. Being the end slice the hamachi was mostly cooked, but the rice was stone-cold​ inside, ruining it for me. I snagged an end slice of the Godzilla Deep fried spicy tuna roll hoping for another "cooked " bite and same thing, cold rice. Honestly, if I want cold rice I can buy it at the supermarket in Hawaii. It's bad enough that I can't have raw fish, but cold rice too? Maybe they premake the rolls figuring the frying will heat the whole thing but it didn't. I pressed on with the Tempura roll, basically,​​ a California roll with a tempura​ shrimp rolled in. Once again the rice was cold and the tempura, stone-cold​, also it was so large and loosely​ rolled there​ was no picking it up without it falling to pieces, which was just as well because it wouldn't​ fit in my mouth whole anyway. Adding​ insult to injury the crab was not crab, it was surimi. California is so full of consumer regulations, I would think you couldn't sell a "crab flavored fish product" as a crab. Oh well, I'm used to the fake stuff. Last but not least was the San Francisco roll which was a Tempura California​ roll with cream cheese inside. I've never had a roll with Cream cheese inside and I have to admit it was interesting and maybe because they needed the cheese to melt, it didn't taste like they premade it and kept it on ice prior to cooking. read more

Popped in for an impromptu dinner with a friend and we were underwhelmed to say the least. The venue is quite quaint and compact. Not really worth dining in, but maybe in summer months you can enjoy the outdoor seating provided. I asked for a jalapeno addition IN my roll and received mexican style jalapenos sprinkled on top of my roll... not quite the asian experience I was going for. The flavors were a bit bland on the rolls we had and unlike most restaurants when they say their hours are over, they are over! Lights out right at closing. Not the best first experience at a sushi restaurant.. and won't be going back to let them redeem themselves. read more
