    Gyozas & Titanic Roll
    Tara L.

    Love having this spot so close to home! I grabbed the Titanic Roll and some gyozas while out shopping, and as always, they did not disappoint. The food is amazing, the service is quick and friendly, and it's such a convenient go-to in the area. So glad they're around--definitely one of my favorites!! Cute, intimate spot but we usually order to go!

    Not much to update in terms of rating. I will say that they have updated the interior and it is cleaner, more modern take. Big ups. Menu is good, price is decent for the per sashimi price compared to other spots. Fish was fresh. Sashimi Combo was decent at $30 Beef teriyaki was like jerky in terms of slice size. So even if it's tough n overcooked, it will come out OK. Tempura was fresh n crispy...shrimp kinda tiny though. Service was just ok. No one looked at us when we were trying to get the check and a to go box. We were staring at the servers waiting for one of them to look out way. However before that they did ask if we were ok once, which is one more time than none. Sad that water had no ice. I dislike room temperature water to drink. So yah, still a good place to go for the area, better options if you're willing to go into Concord/Pleasent Hill.

    Still my favorite sushi spot. Will always come here when I am craving sushi..(this is the shrimp tempura roll & SF roll, my personal two favorites)

    We moved to Martinez a little over a month ago and have been here approximately 5 times. We love it so much! The roll are big and SO fresh but the prices are reasonable. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Definitely are regulars there

    Unagi Donburi ($18.95)

    Tried Hanabi Sushi a second time, this time trying the chirashi sushi ($18.75). The rice was still excellent, but the sashimi wasn't very good. I'd stick to cooked dishes, like the unagi I had the first time.

    Hanabi Sushi is truly a hidden gem. The restaurant is intimate, clean and bright. The service is excellent. I ordered Tempura Roll and Dragon Roll. There's a special menu - select two rolls for $19.99!! The rolls were fresh and delicious.

    We came here during lunch hours and it was pretty crowded, so we decided to eat outside. Overall, the staff was very accommodating and still attentive to us despite being outside. They have a great menu with a wide selection of items, including udon, ramen, nigiri, hand rolls, etc. The prices are reasonable and nothing too much. We were a pretty large party of 10 people and they were able to get the food out pretty fast. It's not the most amazing quality fish/sushi, but for what it is, it's not a bad option,

    TNT roll.....Yum (spicy tuna, avocado and jalapeno inside; deep fried and topped with micro fish eggs and special sauce)
    Sara B.

    This review is strictly for online take out order. Ordered the TNT roll.....oooh so good. Generous portion, perfectly flash fried. I'm not the most adventurous sushi eater but this roll was a knock out of the park in my opinion. It's a spicy tuna roll with jalapenos and avocado inside then deep fried and topped with micro fish eggs and special sauce. I will absolutely get this again. Sometimes fish eggs are a bit much for me but because this were so small, they didn't taste like anything or give any odd texture issues. My only personal downside is the ginger was smashed up against one end of the roll so in my opinion those 2 pieces tasted like spicy soap. In the future I'll call to order as you cannot make any alterations through the online ordering system.

    Stopped by for a hand roll. Great service, it's a small cozy place with good sushi :)

    Sushi and Sashimi

    Update: We've still been going here every week or so, and in the past couple months the consistency in quality has improved noticeably due to the new owner's obvious passion for the art of sushi, so I felt obligated to update my review. The nigiri and sashimi are now consistently artistic and beautiful and are melt in your mouth delicious. Total hidden gem and a great value, I hope they keep doing things exactly like this and we'll keep coming back forever!

    Everything about this sushi restaurant is delicious.

    My husband and I had lunch here and everything we ordered was delicious. The staff's were very attentive. The sushi chef was excellent. Everything he made looks and tasted amazing.

    Sake Sashimi - Salmon (10 Pieces)

    I come here at least once a week. Chicken katsu is amazing! Staff is always helpful and friendly. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere even when it's busy. Outside and inside seating are available.

This created a whole scene that other customers eating there got involved making it look like I was the bad person. He ended up just telling me that it was on them. Which all could've been avoided IF he had listened to my solution. I don't care about the 'free' meal at this point. It was so embarrassing! Word of advice, if you're ringing up a check, make sure you ring up the correct bill! Other than that, the food was good. One of the best Hawaiian food in the area. I do recommend the Aloha plate. It's just very unfortunate that one mistake caused me to never want to come back.

The takoyaki and the fresh fish dishes were standouts, the quality and value is hard to beat compared to SF prices. We barely got photos in before everything was gone. They also surprised us with a complimentary hojicha panna cotta that was light and not overly sweet. When we mentioned it was my dad's birthday, they stored the cake and brought it out with candles without us even having to ask. Little things like that go a long way. Oh and if your bill hits $100+, you get to pick a piece of jewelry from their collection which is a cute touch. Already looking forward to going back.

Time limit of 90 minutes and drinks not included. Fish is fresh. Nigiri has great rice ratio. Note: sashimi, nigiri, & handroll orders come as 1 piece, so order accordingly. Appetizers are mostly smaller portions as well. Love the small portions because you can try more items and it prevents waste. Minus 1 star because service, menu, and fish quality are not consistent. Service can be fast and attentive or slow and wrong order, mostly good or at least average. Servers mostly speak limited English, so please be patient. Their English proficiency has improved a lot since opening. Depending on who's the chef for the day, food may be garnished or not and prepared differently. Sweet shrimp nigiri may have the tail shelled or deshelled. Fish quality is mostly great and sometimes good. Free meal on your birthday with a party of at least 4 people. Discount if you pay in cash. Tip is charged after tax. Plenty of parking in lot. My experiences are 3.5 star rating, but rounding up to 4 because I appreciate the effort.
