Asian fusion place- they have a Japanese/Korean food menu. I got the sashimi over rice (I've had this dish before at Korean places). They didn't give much sashimi- mostly veggies. This place is a bit overpriced ($15-20 a dish). Average food quality. No wait so that's why we tried it. read more

It's terrible. I didn't naver write no good review here but this time is different. I was been there 3times. There was good. But now so bad. Now is Change to Very cheep food. I'll never go this place. read more

We were looking for a nice Korean place to eat and it was incredibly busy, not sure why I wanted to go for food on a Saturday evening in midtown but everywhere there was a line. We finally found something we liked but couldn't get in as we didn't bring ID. Why on earth would you need ID to eat out? Either way frustrated we went to the nearest place and there we were Hana Machi my buldak was very disappointing, lacked flavor and just not memorable. Service was really quick though! read more

Very good place , I came twice already. Big portions, hot tea and nice atmosphere . Will come again

The food was ok, but the way they worded their lunch special was misleading. They said two combinations for $27.99 so we ordered two combinations. When we got the bill, it was for two lunch specials. I told the server this, and he said he would explain it to me. An explanation after the fact doesn't save me spending $30 extra dollars on a lunch. I do not appreciate being scammed by their (probably intentionally) confusing menu design. read more

Went here on a chilly Wednesday night with my gf and it was packed. The moment I walked in I was amazed by the beautiful handmade decorations and the sakura tree inside. The decor of the place is definitely one of their best aspects. Most of the food however was average. Okonomiyaki. $15.00 The toppings were tasty as I love bonito flakes and Japanese mayo but the pancake itself was too bland and tasteless with too much cabbage. Mini-Udon (x2). $10.00 The udon was good and had plenty of little toppings. The soup was a tad salty. Salmon Salad. $10.00 Honestly I only ate the salmon slices. Those were tasty. The salad however was poorly made. There were huge chunks of lettuce and some parts tasted bitter. Lancing Roll. $13.00 Eel, avocado, shrimp and crab-meat topped w/ spicy tuna. Good blend of ingredients but presentation is poorly done. The ingredients were every loose. It tasted fine however. Kiss of Fire Roll. $12.00 Spicy tuna, cucumber and white tuna topped w/ avocado. Disappointed that they gave me regular tuna instead of white tuna. Taste not as good as the lancing but it was decent as well. The waiters were really helpful. There was negatives I have to point up such as not giving us soup spoons with our udon, my spoon was cracked on the tip, and they gave us only 3 little plates of complimentary appetizers compared to the 6 everybody around us got. read more

My not-so-out of town boss asked me to pick a place for lunch that serves Ramen. Being far away from my typical japanese towns in the East Village and the high-forties, I was constrained by proximity to the office and time. Since my first pick was not open for lunch, I picked this place. HaruHana, is supposedly a japanese restaurant located in the heart of korean town. The whole menu was in English and Korean. They had a fairly large selection, but I failed to understand the logic of the menu. I had no problem pretending it was a Japanese restaurant, until they put kimchi on the table. Either way, I ordered the Katsu Cheese Nama based on the picture. I have never heard of such a dish so I was very curious to try it. When I placed my order, I honestly thought it was a noodle dish, but its actually deep fried pork loin katsu with soup and egg, which comes with a side of rice. I liked my dish and was quite full from it, but the boss didn't like his Soy Sauce Ramen, which was recommended by the staff. Others on the team ordered the Seafood Udon, Katsu-Curry and Chicken katsu. The chicken katsu didn't look all that special, but then its probably just there so that non-pork or beef eaters can dine with us. The Katsu-Curry looked good, but for whatever reason my colleague didn't like the curry sauce. Overall, I'm willing to give this place another try since it seems like I had the better dish of the group, but at the same time I wouldn't go out of my way to dine here. read more

HanaMichi - Katsu Cheese Nabe - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

I give them huge pointers for accommodating our huge group of 11 people. They were able to make seats really quickly for us, which I was really glad about. I think we made it just before the dinner time really kicked off, so there were quite a bit of empty seats in the back that we could all grab together. Food was average I would say. I really can't speak for any other food than the katsu here because that's all I've had the past two times I've been here, but the experience was pleasant. I had the chicken katsu last time and the mozzarella pork katsu this time around and both times really crunchy and then soft on the inside (mmmmmmm). Meats are all very tender inside which is a plus. The katsu dishes all come w so many things like a side of curry, soup, rice, and salad. Really filling! read more

HanaMichi - Mozzarella pork katsu - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Terrible service. Horrible attitude. Just fine food. At very beginning, when we asked how long we will wait. The lady at front desk rolled her eyes..sooooo impatient! They served we 4 with 3 cups of water, 3 miso soup ...we must have to ask them to add another one....again and again. Mushroom was served raw, and they suppose it can be cooked by putting it into hot soup, BUT, the soup is almost cold.... What's more, the time we finished, they ask us to leave..... At Saturday night, no restaurant worries about whether there will be enough customers. However, low quality one does not deserve it! read more

This place deserves 0 customers and F in sanitary inspection grade. My sister online ordered pork ramen and it came with a large cockroach looking bug either dead or freely swimming in the base of the soup. She called and complained, but the restaurant never apologized and just asked if she wants the restaurant to resend the food. The way they responded to the situation is unacceptable. In return, they lost a good number of customers including my close friends and family. This place is the definition of trash. read more

HanaMichi - I did not pay for this nor did I order this. - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

A Japanese style restaurant but in K-Town? Ok, I'm interested. I ordered Seafood Udon, It was ok but I wasn't impressed. The seating is tight but overall a nice looking restaurant. I might be back, it was under 10 bucks for lunch. I'd rather have Thai than Japanese style Korean food. read more

Had their lunch special for 14.99. The Pork Katsu happened to be pretty good. However, there wasn't any sauce or flavor you'd generally expect with katsu so it was a bit bland. The egg helped however. The udon was just OK. Not much flavor at all. Something between a 2 and 3. I'll note it down as it was a bit pricey for the quality. read more

While I've probably tried every single restaurant on this street (no lie!!), Hanamichi came as a bit of a surprise. Their menu is diverse and interesting for a korean establishment, which I tend to find have the usual suspects of bulgolgi, bibimbap, tofu stews, etc but I was pleasantly surprised. It had more of a bar/pubby kind of atmosphere with the clubby music in the background and dimly lit backdrop. We started off with a pineapple flavored soju, which came in a mad scientist-esque beaker bigger than the size of my head with two shot glasses. The alcohol is pretty strong - my friend who never gets get the slightest bit drunk got pretty tipsy trying to down more shots of it than me! Pleasantly sweet and delicious. I checked into this place on yelp and got a free tofu salad, which ended up being a tiny asian soup spoon with a piece of tofu with raw tuna on top with a light soy dressing. I was in a rice mood, so I got the chicken katsu don - breaded chicken over rice with egg. The rice was slightly moist, which I didn't like, but the chicken was chewy and well done. The biggest surprise of the meal was the ddukboki (korean spicy chewy tubes of rice noodles - one of my favorite things ever!!) and seafood, all covered in cheese and tossed into a giant soft kabocha. Kabocha is one of my favorite types of squash, a sweet and succulant bright orange Japanese squash with a rich creamy texture when baked or steamed. Paired with the gochujang (the korean spicy pepper paste) and chewiness of the noodles and cheese, it was AMAZING!!! Beware: this dish is HUGE and was way too much for two people along with the rice dish we got. Had plenty of leftovers which I ate for two more meals the next two days. Overall about 60-70$ for the meal which I found pretty typical of ktown, but had a ton of extra food for the next two days!! :-) p.s... if you're still in the mood for a dessert or two, the Paris Baguette and Tous Les Jours have great asian pastries. Or, for a more ghetto option, head over to H-Mart for their ice cream selection... melon bars and red-bean paste filled fish ice cream!! read more

Interior is adorable with cherry blossom branches and lights at the entrance. It was relatively quiet and empty when we showed up late in the afternoon on a weekend. We all order a lunch set which ended up being very filling. The sashimi over rice lunch special also came with a side of refreshing cold soba, shumai, and salad. The fish was a bit fishy and could have been fresher in my opinion, but overall the food was quite tasty l. It came down to about $26 pp with tax and tip. read more

I came here a couple weeks ago after checking out a few places in ktown to eat. Seen that they had katsu on the menu and figured you can't go wrong with that! Me and a friend of mine ordered pork and chicken katsu. The food was great. And the portion was good also. Music was on point. They had a nice playlist which was surprising, waiters were attentive and it had a nice atmosphere in my opinion. I will def be back when I'm in the area and craving some katsu. read more

Being in the mood for sushi, I ventured to Ktown to see what was around. I stumbled across Haru Hana. The decor is nice, the menu is confusing as shit. It has at least 200 items on it. I ordered a Manhattan roll which was great, but a bit too spicy for my taste buds. It was good though and worth the $10. My issue? The service is HORRIBLE/ TERRIBLE/ SUCKS/ BLOWS...you get the hint! I waited at least 40 minutes to get my roll. I had to beg the woman for more water and the check was another 15 minutes to get. Now I did go at the height of the lunch hour, but cmon, there is no excuse for that. Let's just say, there's a first and last time for Haru Hana.. read more

HanaMichi - Manhattan Roll - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for the first time for dinner on a Friday evening. Let's just say I won't be coming back. When I arrived with my friends it was surprisingly empty. We got seated right away, placed our orders, and waited. The food came out in a reasonable amount of time. But the quality of the food was not great. I ordered chicken katsu. The size of the side salad was bigger than my rice and the chicken... In addition, the katsu sauce was watery. The order came with a little bowl of curry. The curry tasted like it came out of a mix. In terms of service, our water was not refilled at all even though our cups were empty. Overall I would not be coming back. read more

HanaMichi - The giant mountain of side salad vs the small pile of rice and chicken. Definitely disappointed - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

Contemporary Japanese spot in the middle ok K-town. We got the seared ahi tuna salad, edamame, agedashi tofu and pork katsu. They were all fresh, well prepared, and nicely presented. Being the self-proclaimed condiment Queen, I liked the assortment of sauces that accompanied the katsu. It make an already good entree that much better! The portions for the starters are average, but the katsu entree was huge. Between the two of us, we still had leftovers. Service was ok. I think we might have had a new server because she wasn't quite sure what was on the menu or how to describe some dishes, but she was nice and delivery of the food was prompt. read more

Nice space but food was subpar. Sushi was overpriced, under seasoned, and just not good. Salmon salad looked pretty sad - ice berg lettuce with a few slices of salmon. They have a big menu so maybe their other dishes are better but this time around it was pretty bad. read more

I was at a bar across the street when a friend & I decided to get a bite to eat. We picked Haru Hana solely based on its looks plus it was crowded so we figured the food would be decent. Loved the decor, very charming. Perfect for a date or w/one or two friends but not good for groups. We had the pork katsu and the spicy tuna roll topped w/salmon, tuna. Both were pretty good. I'll definitely come back to try the ramen next time I'm in K-town. read more

Although the pictures looked pleasing enough and the lunch special deal is attractive, it wasn't good enough for me to return. The side dishes didn't look fresh and the entrees were mediocre. Although I did like their tuna tofu appetizer; you get it for free if you check in. Other than that, nothing really stood out to me. read more

HanaMichi - Lunch special - Japanese Near Me - New York, New York

With its fake cherry blossom trees, cobbled floors, and wooden tables, this place has a really cool atmosphere, and unique menu items to boot! Our meal came with miso soup, pickled jalapeños, pickled radish slices, and kimchi. I'm glad the Yelp check-in allowed us to try the tofu salad appetizer for free, because it was definitely something I was un-amazed at: served in a wooden spoon, a square of tofu topped with a bland slice of tuna and topped with roe sat in a pool of some sour, light wasabi mixture. Meh. The highlight of the meal was the Squash with Spicy Seafood. It came out in full glory--- kobochoa squash filled with a seafood/pepper and onions mixture, smothered in mozzarella cheese! There was a lot of seafood (baby octopus, squid, shrimp, mussels, clams, and even half a crab). Service was awesome; the staff was really courteous and attentive. Be prepared to sit really close to other diners. If you're overwhelmed by the extensive menu, definitely go with the squash with spicy seafood! :) read more

Came here for dinner. Pros: - Cute decor and a nice atmosphere for chatting - Pork noodle soup was a good size and tasted great Cons: - The takoyaki tasted great but it was so tiny for the price - The tuna tataki tasted like it came straight from the freezer - was not fresh - The salmon salad was disappointing - a couple pieces of salmon in a big bowl full of iceberg lettuce read more

I had completely forgotten I've eaten here 4 years ago. Recently, I came back with some friends before catching a movie. I still love their really cute decor. Reading back on my review, it made me realized I still didn't like their long benches because it's hard to get in and out of once you sat down. We started off with the Manhattan and Midori rolls, which was pretty fresh and good. We've also ordered the octopus balls, which was only okay because there was a spec of octopus with lots of dough. The salt and pepper squid legs were delicious, which I think I can eat the whole order myself. We shared the Stir-fried baby octopus with slices of pork belly in spicy sauce, which was pretty delicious and wasn't spicy neither. We also ordered the Sweet Pumpkin with spicy seafood, which was quite delicious. The pumpkin was sweet and soft. The seafood wasn't spicy to me and it even has part of a crab in this dish. I think this is a cute place to go on a date. The decor's cute and the food was delicious. The staff were really friendly as well. read more

I love the spicy tuna poke over rice, very delicious. But I believe this is the only thing I like about there. It's more Japanese than Korean place. Doesn't seem have many healthy options.

Wondering about K-town and decided to try out Haru Hana. Service was fast and attentive. The tables were clean and I liked the leave tiles on the floor. I made one mistake: I checked in with Yelp after paying the check, so didn't redeem the free offer. Next time. Tuna Tadaki: slices of rare cooked tuna with special dipping sauce. For the large platter there were 8 pieces, so thin you could stack them all up and eat all in one bite. Hiyakko Tofu: Cold tofu with fresh grated ginger, grilled bonito, chopped scallions and soy sauce. Its not a block of tofu, but rather the squeezed out part that looks like cottage cheese. It tastes better than it sounds. Fish Katsu: this is how fish and chips should be served! super crispy, super oily.....so good. read more

I have been to this cute small place only once, but already liking it and will sure to comeback again soon. But must reconsider lunchtime, the place was packed. So far I must say Haru Hana had me going for it's decor and it's Katsu. Modernly intimate, crunchy and springily delicious. read more

I came here with 4 other people for dinner. The place was packed so we had to wait for a table. That gave me a chance to look around the restaurant which is absolutely beautiful. It is adorned with wood tables, wall decorations and gorgeous trees with pink flowers. I could not stop looking at it, even the menus were notable. Once we were seated we could not stop talking which resulted in me barely getting a chance to carefully look at the menu, so due to that and some silly confusion on my part I just ended up ordering the Chicken Teriyaki dish which was not cheap at all. The presentation of my dish was beautiful and it came with miso soup, rice and a side of something I could not figure out what it was. However, although the dish did include sauce, it was really bland and I did not enjoy it. I felt like there wasn't so much to it so I ended up still being somewhat hungry at the end of it. The service was relatively good considering that a few people in my party asked for their dishes to be altered in one way or another. It was possible for some but not others. Although this place, as well as my dish, were beautiful I felt like it was all about aesthetics, which is always a nice addition but it does not compensate for my bland dish and its relatively high price. read more

Not a bad place in the heart of Koreantown for Japanese- Korean fusion cuisines. I ordered a chicken cutlet (tonkatsu) and it came with rice and curry potatoes. The food did take a little while to come but our server provided us with kimchi and pickled cucumbers. Overall, I would come back. Pricing and service weren't bad either. P.S- Try the fried squid legs! They weren't bad. read more

Always a good time coming here. Even went yesterday! They have alooot of variety of foods. It's definitely a fusion between Japanese and Korean cuisine. Japanese cuisine is usually a bit less seasoned and more bland but the owner puts in some Korean influence into it by incorporating more spices, and seasonings. Some foods still resemble traditional Japanese cuisine (like the sushi) but a lot of the menu items combined the two. Some items are just straight up Korean dishes (like the cheese spicy rice cake and the cheese spicy chicken). For people who don't like that kind of stuff, maybe go for a more traditional Japanese restaurant? But people who like fusion, or savory flavors, you'll like it. It's always hard to choose something to eat, because everything looks so good, and so far, everything I ate was just as good as it looked on the menu. The proportions are mostly of a moderate size but some can be a little more generous than you would expect. If you're unsure about the proportions, all you have to do is ask! The waitress (most likely the owner too) that I had the last two or three visits was the same and she's always very nice to us. When you first see her, she may seem cold, (that's the first impression I had) because she snaps when she talks but that's just the Korean tone sometimes lol. But when you actually talk to her, or ask her for good recommendations, she'll always try to take care of you. The decor is also really nice and it's definitely what brought me in in the first place. It's cozy and small and has these chairs with drapes in the front end and back ends of the tables for more privacy. I thought that was pretty cool too. Recommend for sure! read more

Eh, just okay... Kinda pricey for mediocre sushi/sashimi. My friend ordered the sashimi over rice and there wasn't enough fish or rice for the price. It had a nice presentation, sure, but... It was lacking. I ordered a ramen.. Which, of course, I have tasted better. The flavor was lacking, but it did keep me warm from the cold outside. On the other hand, atmosphere was good, service was quick. I don't think what we ordered was that great.. Maybe on another occasion, I will try other items which may be better. read more

This is the 2nd time I've visited this place. The first time was exactly 23 months ago, on Christmas Eve of 2010. Fortunately, I had a better experience this time than last time due to remembering what I had previously eaten and choosing different this time. For lunch, we had an appetizer of Avocado with Scallops. This appetizer also had mangos and a few other items in it. It was quite tasty. The main part of the lunch was Curry Sauce Ramen and Seafood Udon. The Curry Sauce Ramen had some lukewarm unknown jelly like substance at the bottom that I wasn't too thrilled about. The Seafood Udon seemed pretty good though. read more

Not a bad place to eat in the winter time! Sure when I walked in the place was crowded and the wait to get in was at least 15 minutes but they have a decent selection of choices to pick from the menu. I had the Soba Mesi (which wasn't on the regular menu): fried rice with noodles and pork. The portion was filling and the taste decent. My friend had the Seafood Udon which she said was good. I heard the Hiyayakko Tofu was good but didn't try it due to my lactose intolerance. It seemed good for a vegetarian to try though. The flimsy bamboo curtains that divided each "booth" was a bit annoying as I prefer separate booths with no people pushing themselves or their stuff against my back.
