    OG Spam Musubi, Mega POG Shave Ice
    Hannah R.

    Hanai is a refreshing new food spot in the IceBlocks serving smoothies, shaved ice, milkshakes, and Spam Musubi. I tried the POG smoothie, the OG Musubi, and the Mega POG shaved ice. For the $12 price tag, the POG smoothie was just okay, a good refreshing drink but not too different from a cheaper smoothie someplace else. I LOVED the OG Musubi, honestly some of the freshest and tastiest I've had in a long while. The Spam was cooked really well, the rice was just soft and chewy enough, and I loved the mix of sauces on top. I wanted to love the Mega POG shaved ice because of its great size & price, but due to the small bowl it came in and the mess it made due to overflowing/melting too quickly, I was left frustrated and disappointed. It should be placed in a bowl with more of a lip or fanned sides to catch the tasty syrups and ice as you eat it, just a suggestion! I would return to Hanai in the future just for the tasty OG Musubi, and might want to venture out and try some of their other Musubi flavors!

    Friendly service, fresh taste. I had the hello pineapple smoothie that tastes completely natural and the mega pog shaved ice a different time which also tasted very natural

    Tigers blood shave ice and banana coconut shave ice. OG spam musubi and I can't remember the other musubi name at the moment

    This place was surprisingly underwhelming unfortunately! We were so excited to try this place out however it lacked flavor in the shaved ice. We gave it a good try and attempted to eat 5 spoonfuls...even trying to see if the flavor was at the bottom but unfortunately it was bland! The spam musubi's were not great and overpriced in comparison to other local places.

    i tried this place when i was going to get food on r street. it was a super hot day and shaved ice sounded like the perfect snack to cool down. i'm not typically one to get shaved ice but this one was huge and flavorful. i loved the atmosphere and vibe of the store, but i did feel like it was a bit expensive. as it starts to melt i would say all the syrup falls to the bottom so once you do start getting to the bottom ice it is almost too sweet to eat, but overall it is yummy and fun to try once! the workers were nice and i loved the outside patio and seating!

We walked in to a fairly small but busy restaurant thinking it would take a while for a table but to our surprise we were seated quickly. The server was quick to help us and bring us water which is always great but there is one thing that could've been done better. We were just seeing other tables that came after us , getting their food and we had nothing. We didn't really get an update as to what was taking long or where our food was which was the bummer part. They did make up and give us a 10% discount and a free orange juice which was greatly appreciated. So props for that The food wasn't the worst but also it wasn't something that made me think WOW this is good. I usually don't get gravy with my loco mocos and mostly judge off the meat flavor and this one was lacking seasoning. My wife's waffle was just good nothing crazy and the chicken did taste fresh which we most definitely enjoyed. The mango syrup that came with it though wasn't too much of our liking. It tasted mostly like a mango candy syrup mixed with hot sauce. Overall our experience was alright but not the best..... I don't know if I'll make the drive out here to get some "Hawaiian" bites as I do feel there's better spots in Sacramento. Everything is all subjective to experience and ours was just alright.

I really enjoy Masumi spam Masumi some of my favorite but the place I used to get it if I don't get it early I won't get it. So I came here and boy am I glad I did when I walked in and it was a very friendly hello and welcome and a big smile. They had a great menu. It was well displayed on the wall. Lots of things everything under 1299 $13 so super good prices also so I was here from Nasubi. They had two different kinds of musubi they had to spam musubi and then they had a barbecued chicken musubi. Wow both of them were super yummy. The barbecue chicken musubi was very flavorful. The chicken was definitely not dry and I'm really super glad I tried it the spam. Subi was very good. Both of them had a lot of rice. The seaweed on the outside had a lot a flavor to it. I also had a small bowl of steamed rice and soy sauce and speaking of sauce whatever sauce they gave me to pour over top of my musubi oh boy super yummy. The only thing I could find with this super cool spot was they definitely could use a zero type drink and they could do differently use a spicy teriyaki or a spicy musubi maybe they had it I just didn't ask for it, but I'll definitely be back here again thank you very much for the great service and the great food. You've definitely got a new fan.

Tried the Leche de Coco with coconut cold foam! The cold foam gave it an extra creaminess and the shave ice was soft and delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of their items as the weather heats up!

I didn't realize…read morethey didn't have much food on their menu - it's really more of a snack/dessert/drink type spot so don't come expecting full meals! It worked out for us but just hope that people have the right expectations about the menu here. We ordered all 3 of the food items. They were all delicious, although a little pricey. $12 for 4 pieces of musubi seems a bit too high, considering both options only had spam. They were beautifully presented though and had great flavor. The J-Town is more unique and great if you like Japanese curry. The OG is more of your typical spam musubi flavor profile. The ube waffle was good but nothing too unique, but at least it was more fairly priced at $8. We ordered a shave ice for dessert and the consistency was perfect. The Mega POG flavor was refreshing and they don't drown your ice with syrup. Adding a scoop of ice cream for $2.50 was kinda ridiculous so we skipped that but I'd definitely like to try the matcha foam next time when I don't have to share with the kids! I do have a gripe about their ordering window - the microphone is SO loud. We were there for lunchtime on a weekday and it was pretty quiet, no need for a microphone, let alone one that loud. But anyway, they do have a great location here in Side Hustle at the Ice Blocks. The spacious outdoor patio was so nice in the shade, underneath the lights and trees. It's definitely more enticing to come when you know they have designated seating options!

We're actually really surprised by the negative reviews and we go fairly often. We have also ordered delivery. Our orders (mix of chicken katsu, bbq chicken, kalbi short ribs, bbq beef, musubi) have been consistently generous, cooked well, and fresh. The katsu is perfectly crisp without being oily! The restaurant itself is clean and the staff is friendly. They often remind me of the self-serve sauce station and don't make me feel weird about getting like 6+ cups. AND their BOGO offer on the chicken plates have been such a steal. We get two meals out of each plate easily! We went three times in the past couple months because of that!

Unfortunately, the worker named Mai was extremely rude and had a very snobby attitude the entire interaction. I accidentally threw my receipt away while cleaning up the food from dining in. When I went back to the counter and explained the situation, Mai immediately gave me a hard time and acted annoyed that she had to help me. I even showed proof on my phone that I had ordered the two spam musubi. After finally handing me the food, she rudely said, "Next time, make sure to have your receipt." I responded, "Excuse me? I threw the receipt away by accident, not on purpose." Her attitude and facial expressions throughout the interaction were completely unnecessary and unprofessional. I understand everyone has bad days, but customers should not be treated rudely for an honest mistake. If you genuinely dislike working with people, maybe customer service isn't the right job for you. Very disappointing experience.

I blame it on yelp and doordash app that confirmed my online order. i understand when you have online orders, you must give your order info. For some reason while placing my online order from yelp then it direct me to DoorDash, i put my ordered in then paid. Order went through and I didn't receive any confirmation after it took my payment. I came in to pick up my order. They wanted my confirmation number, I kindly let them know that i usually leave my phone on the app to show my order or screenshot my order confirmation but I didn't receive any.. I did let them know my payment went through and it was taken out of my account. They told me they didn't see any order on their DD tablet. They called DD customer support and they let me know they didn't receive any order. The other worker asked me if I wanted to place an order while I am here but I told her I didn't want to place another order because I did paid for my online order and I didn't want to pay TWICE.. I shouldn't have to place another order and pay twice when I paid once :( then I would have to go through DD to deal with another hassle. I told them my name in case my name was or wasn't on the order but I let them know what I ordered. I told them what I exactly ordered, 4 items (2 plates and 2 drinks). They told me yes we have a similar order that is ready. Which was MY order. I noticed they did have a receipt of my order on the counter. I didn't want to be one of those mean customers but I should be able to receive my online order after I told them my exact order and showed them it took my payment out of the account. I shouldn't have to pay TWICE and it was unfair. I understand the location of this establishment is not the safest due to issues with customers and online orders - asking for confirmation order is part of the job. Don't pay twice if you paid once for your order. Not sure if they were trying to scam me for more money.. :(
