I visited this located for the all you can eat sushi lunch menu. Orders were delivered to the table quickly, the food was of great quality and the wait staff provided great service. Clean and welcoming atmosphere - I hope to return in the future. read more

Hanata Sushi House - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

We decided to check out Hanata when some of our typical sushi places were closed on a late Sunday afternoon. We should have checked the menu first as we didnt realize it was AYCE and $21 a person. Either way, we went for it. Upon walking in we weren't greeted with the cheery hello's from behind the counter that we are typically used to from other sushi joints. Either way, we were seated quickly. The seats could use some TLC. The white leather were covered in spots and the benches had a lot of wear and tear. Overall, I enjoyed the cute decorations and kawaii feel of the pink cherry blossoms around the room and on the menu. The green tea was flavourful and quite warm which was nice. Lately a few places we have been to the tea has been weak and sometimes cold. Upon submitting our sheet for our order, our seaweed salad took maybe 30 seconds to come out. It was really yummy. We gobbled it right up and then we waited for the rest of our food to come. For an AYCE restaurant we were expecting the food to come out a bit faster considering we only ordered a few sushi pieces and 2 rolls. The rolls were fairly large in size so beware if you are thinking of getting a few different kinds. Don't waste food! The sushi was quite good here. They have butter fish and it was so delicious. They kind of overdid it on the spicy-mayo on the spicy butterfish sushi but I was able to scrape some off without ruining it too much. I'd say for the price (about $30 per person with tip), I would expect a bit more. The service wasn't anything extraordinary and was slow at times. The food was good. I've seen some iffy reviews on here but everything looked and tasted fresh. Overall, it just was okay. I may go here for lunch or dinner during off-times to get a cheaper price but I dont think I will pay that much to eat here again. I see that they use Just-Eat and have a la cart menu so maybe I will consider that instead. read more

Hanata Sushi House - Assortment of AYCE sushi and sashimi - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

Food: 4/5 Service: 2/5 Balanced at 3! The food was truly quite good. I'm from Toronto and a sushi fiend. I've been many places, ranging from regular to AYCE, cheap to ultra expensive. This place held its own in terms of the food. I tried a good variety of appetizers, sushi, maki, and sushi pizza, all very good. The problem was with the service. They are more of a classic AYCE establishment, using pencil and paper for ordering. That's fine. But when needing to turn in our papers to order, we were no longer able to see what we had ordered to be able to confirm with staff, but a couple of items just never made it to our table. In addition, the service is quite slow. We'd have long pauses between getting things. This was a Friday night at an AYCE location, there weren't a ton of staff AND they got a continuous stream of takeout orders walking in to pick up. This quite obviously slowed them down. I'm not sure why they wouldn't restrict busy nights (weekends) to just their AYCE service. This being said, they were kind and everything, not rude, just slow! Overall though, I will be going again. I'm new to London and will continue to explore sushi options, but so far this place wins for their food. read more

I have been here on multiple occasions. The service has been a hit and miss everytime. Sadly I have had such horrible experiences with service I always question myself if I should go back or not. The reason this place gets 4 stars instead of 5 is the fact that they have a lunch menu and price separate from the dinner. Almost everything I like and eat at a sushi restaurant is on the dinner menu only so I always have to pay the full price. Also like most all you can eat places this place is very strict on the policy *don't eat it, you still pay for it*. So don't think about trying anything new because you may end up paying a hefty bill all because you wanted to experience a new flavour. On the best note about this restaurant, it has some of the best sushi in London. Taste Is incredible and the freshness is unbeatable. I do recommend this place but be prepared to pay a bit more for the things you like and possible bad service. read more

Such a good price for this amazing quality food. I went all you can eat with my boyfriend. The restaurant wasn't busy at all other than the to go orders so if you're looking for a quiet place for a date This is the place. The tuna spicy crispy rolls were my favourite, my boyfriend loved their green dragon rolls because of the fresh tempura shrimp inside. Their service was also top quality, I'm not sure if It'd be the same at a busier time. It rivaled some top quality sushi restaurants in Toronto. read more

Best sushi in London. I have lived in London for 2 years and Hanata is my go-to sushi place. It's absolutely delicious and the presentation is stunning and creative (roses with salmon sashimi, I was blown away!) I agree with the reviewer who said they are not very accommodating. I often come with a larger group (not everyone wanted AYCE). They were very difficult about it and would look over our table/stand by to ensure that those who didn't get AYCE did not join in. It was ridiculously rude - we are all adults here; nobody is that sketchy... plus they separated us anyway, why excessively monitor like that? You think we're thieves? Overall, I would recommend this restaurant. I don't go here for a spectacular dining experience, because they don't even come close. I go here for the SUSSSHII! read more

Hanata Sushi House - golden dragon roll - perfection!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

Amazing food and service was quick, definitely one of the better option for sushi in London. When we tried to go for the all you can eat lunch, we noticed on the website it said to be there before 3:15. When arrived at 2:30 they said lunch was over and we would have to pay the dinner prices. We still decided to eat but ordered from the regular menu. Really disappointed about that but overall good experience. read more

TL;DR: AYCE - 3/5, lower quality, service a bit slow. However, less expensive than other AYCE places in London, so this is taken into consideration. If it was equally priced, I would say 2.5/5. Equivalent to the quality of a sushi restaurant in a smaller town. A-La-Carte - 5/5, amazing portions, fresh, flavourful, consistent, best variety and quality as well as cost in London. I have had Hanata Sushi numerous times. I would not be lying if I said I have spent over $2000 there in total in the past 4 years I have lived in London. (That's not just for me though, I have ordered for friends too) Firstly, their dine-in AYCE experience is very different from their a-la-carte experience (which I have typically ordered delivery via sites like Just Eat and once came in for take-out). DINE IN ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT The interior of the restaurant is a bit run down and dark due the paint. It could use a refresh, the booth seats are rather worn in, and the mudroom/entry is always very dusty. Their AYCE menu is priced cheaper than the others in London. The quality of the food is mediocre, which I was originally surprised with because I was only familiar with their a-la-carte. The miso soup is definitely somewhat watered down and I'm unsure if they use a dashi stock as the base, and just use miso paste (you can really notice the difference compared to the take out miso soup). The fish in the maki rolls aren't quite as fresh. The reason I tend to come here for AYCE still is when I want to eat a lot of sushi, but don't want to spend quite as much. If you are fine to spend the extra ~$10 for AYCE, I would recommend going to Heart if you want better quality. A-LA-CARTE/TAKEOUT I have never, ever had a poor experience with their a-la-carte menu. They consistently provide high quality sushi as well as hot food. They have had the lowest cost compared to other a-la-carte sushi restaurants in London, but the quality has always been better in my experience. Compared to other restaurants, the selection for fish and hot food is very good. You can't get super "premium" kinds of fish like ikura, uni, or tuna belly. However, they still provide yellow tail, scallop, and tuna. Also, the pieces tend to be larger and fresher than other restaurants, as well as priced less expensive. For example, a standard sashimi combo will have several kinds of fish with 3 slices each. However, they will provide you more than three if the slice or type of fish is rather thin to compensate (i.e they will provide 4-5 pieces of surf clam) They have always maintained a high standard of quality, they've never forgotten anything I've ordered, and if there is a type of fish they have ran out of (which is rare), they will call and offer a replacement of the same price range if you wish. There have been circumstances in the past where I have purchased VERY large orders later in the evening, and at bizarre days of the week (Tuesday at 9:00pm? no problem) and they still delivered the quality they have consistently held. Having previously worked in the food industry, I know this can be difficult to maintain (and also incredibly annoying) but they have been excellent. read more

Couldn't get to a toilet fast enough after eating there. Staff was very friendly, quick, and attentive. Unfortunately the sushi needs lots of improvement. We had the Miso soup which was decent. Tried the specialty rolls and that's when things started to go down hill. read more

Ick. I made the mistake of listening to my brother-in-law and went here for lunch today. The server somehow got my friend's drink order wrong and all the food was just meh. With my 6 other companions, we ordered a good amount of food off their lunch menu and every time we got the food, we would just shrugged. The food was bland, the service wasn't very attentive and I was just so very underwhelmed by the whole experience. Never coming back read more

Unfortunately had a less than pleasant experience with the employees here. We were a large group here for our friends birthday party and most people wanted all you can eat and one person wanted the a la carte menu. There were no others in the restaurant. However they apparently have a rule that everyone must order all you can eat and nobody can order a la carte. Every other sushi restaurant accommodates without any hesitation. Even after 4 people tried to reason with the employees they did not budge and lost a paying customer. Its a reflection on their views of their customers, suspecting they are untrustworthy and we did not appreciate their lack of customer service. I understand where they are coming from but the circumstances did not make any sense and its a great skill to learn how to accommodate for others. read more

Many of the actual food does not look anywhere close to the pictures on the menu. Quite a letdown as we based our selection on how they were pictured. Second issue is that not all that we ordered came. Did they forget? Lastly, the tea (which was not free) was basically just hot water. We won't be back. read more

My go to all you can eat sushi place. Prices are awesome compared to most all you can eat places!! Lunch menu is pretty meh compared to dinner, but there's still a lot of options including vegetarian ones. Staff is terrible, always forgetting stuff you order, never smile, very unfriendly so that's always off putting, but if you can brush that off the sushi is so worth it! read more

Slow service. Like actually took us 2 hours to get a few plates of food. Pretty annoying and you have to ask them 12 times to get some shrimp tempura. Daily fruit of the day is one slice of orange lol read more

Hanata Sushi House - 5 stars for fresh fruit. 1 star for it being the only item that comes without a 30 minute wait. - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

This seems to be a favourite of many of my sushi living friends. The food is fresh though the sashimi is not memorable. What irks me is that sashimi orders get lost/forgotten when you order AYCE. They are also not willing to hand over a second order sheet of you want more. So often you keep ordering sashimi only to have one order show up. I am not a huge sashimi consumer but if I ordered 5 pieces of salmon it should at least show up. read more

This is an average quality ayce sushi place. Reasonable selection of menu items, good price, service is hit or miss, fountain drinks are also all you can drink. Cons: 1) On several occasions I couldn't get the spider rolls because they were "out of those", which was disappointing. 2) They also do have a tendency to miss some order items. 3) When my friend and I were brought way more pieces than we had ordered of an item, they did not want to take it back even though we told the server before they even put down the plate onto our table. However, they did eventually reluctantly cooperate. That having been said, I haven't been there in person for almost a year now so things may have changed. I usually get takeout from them now which is again average. Some days are better than others in that I've gotten their party trays sometimes where it felt like they were using old rice that had gone kind of stiff and dry, but in the recent months this hasn't been an issue and I'm overall satisfied with the food. read more

went here last night, food was good, service was decent, the girl did walk past my table like 5 times and didn't take any of the plates away or anything but other than that she was nice, lots of options, and for 23.99 dinner, cannot complain at all read more

The food here was pretty good. Extensive menu of non-sushi items and a wide array of dragon rolls. Unfortunately the service is absolutely horrible. The restaurant is showing its age as well, the bathrooms are borderline disgusting. Perhaps the business lead to my table of four being ignored... but hey, I don't like it when my table is ignored. read more

I really like this sushi place. The all you can eat selection is good and the service is fast. They were great about dealing with my shellfish allergy. My only criticism is that they never refilled my tea, and we had to ask to have water refills. read more

Alright place haven't really had a problem too much, very very slow service though if you dont mind waiting it's not a bad place.

I've been coming to this place since Nov 2012. Neither me or my companions are big fan of " All you can eat " and we use "la carte/ menu. We usually order " Green and Gold dragons" and the Make sets. The arrangement is very beautiful and the taste is just awesome and the sauce they use with the sushi is very unique. We visited many places as Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, PEI, Calgary, and nothing took our taste away as this place. The Service during the week is Excellent. We tried few Sats and it was very good. We visited 1 friday last year and the service was annoyingly slow and we decided to avoid Fridays. We keep comping back coz the sushi is soo good and so yummy. The price is very good and in the range of other sushi places ( actually most of the sushi places are more expensive ). Try the dragons next time and compare it to other places and you can tell the difference. Yes, will go back to Hanata sushi. read more

I don't know what some of these previous average/poor reviews are talking about... Or perhaps its a new menu but the food here is exceptional! I am pregnant and they had a ton of cooked maki role options and their grilled options are great too! You have to try their snow roll... Its my absolute faaaaaave here!!! Probably my fave ayce spot in town now... But be careful and don't be wasteful as they will warn you before they charge you for the wasted food! Nonetheless, great food! Oh ya they still do old School where u write what u wanna order vs. The ipad but def worth coming here!!! Nomnuts! Happy preggy belly! read more

The staff is great but the sushi just doesn't cut it. If you have another option for sushi in London I would pick that place over Hanata any day read more

My wife and I love this place! Busy on Friday nights but that never seems to change just how good the Maki rolls are. Service with a smile is the norm and a warm tea awaits you should you need to wait just a bit longer for your take-out order. But believe me, the food is worth the wait. read more

Hanata Sushi House - Take-out Night... Yum! - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

Slow service. We ordered 16 spicy salmon rolls and were waiting an hour for them to come so I decided to cancel my order of 10 pieces so my friends could still have his 6. 30minutes later 16 pieces arrived and I told them we asked for 10 to be cancelled - They said they were already made when we cancelled, my question to them was if they were made 30mins ago why did they not bring them 30mins ago? They couldn't answer and 4 employees surrounded us complaining and forced us to pay for the extra rolls we couldn't finish. Never going back. read more

The sushi was pretty good. Spicy salmon sushi was delicious. But the food came sooo slowly. Every order came in 15 min intervals. And the waitresses were not smiling or inviting. Too bad. read more

3.5 Stars. Not bad, not bad at all. I was a tad skeptical from the reviews but a friend persuaded me for it. The menu wasn't extensive as some of the other AYCE joints I've been to. but decent. The server was really nice and quite frankly the sushi took barely anytime to get to us. The Sashimi of Salmon and Butter Fish was delicious as was the Red Snapper Sushi. Miso Soup / Seaweed Salad again, same taste but nice. I wasn't a big fan of their beef rolls / skewers or teriyaki either beef of chicken, but the short ribs were amazing! Have the waiter grill them properly and a little longer. Hand Rolls were done very nicely. All in all a good experience. An I will say it the ginger ice cream in the end was so good! read more

Do not go here or order from here you might as well just eat your cash. It will likely taste better. Will be late, cold, wrong, and missing half of the order. Garbage and when you call to complain the won't give a shit read more

My friends and I have been attending Hanata Sushi house for the past three years for lunch, we have mostly enjoyed the food and the service and the reasonable price. Unfortunately, after today's experience we will no longer be dining at Hanata. While we were eating, we noticed a bug crawling along the upper back side of the bench we were sitting on, in an effort not cause a scene and draw attention we discretely killed the bug, at which time we noted the bug was a cockroach. The waitress was delivering food to our table and we politely told her we had just killed a cockroach and provided her with the evidence; folded up napkin with dead cockroach. Obviously uncomfortable by the fact that we had just killed a cockroach and knowing with cockroaches there typically is not just one we had some additional dishes delivered so we simply advised the waitress we would not be ordering any more food. We gathered up our stuff and when I advised the waitress we would not be paying for our meal given the above information she stated she could only offer a 15% discount. She further advised that the restaurant is frequently sprayed for vermin and that the cockroach was not the restaurants fault. The waitress then advised if we did not pay she would call the police, at this time we agreed to pay for half of our bill which the waitress accepted, however NEVER again we will dine at Hanata. read more

I usually go for the all you can eat sushi lunch. Great value! I highly recommend this place.

I come here all the time, as even though it's not the best "quality" , it is cheap, and I like that. I wish lunch had a bit more variety, but the portions are awesome. The spicy salmon is my favourite and I get it all the time. The staff isn't very friendly, hardly ever talks to anyone except themselves, and does forget things sometimes. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants good and cheap all you can eat sushi read more

I've been to Hanata House numerous times and usually I am pleased. Last night I ordered take out and I was disappointed that they used an avocado gone bad to top my sushi pizza. The sushi roll I ordered was fine, but the rotten avocado was upsetting, as it was clearly rotten and they should have noticed that and not used it. I also noticed last time that they changed their cheese wontons. They used to have a delicious gooey centre but now have barely anything inside and what is inside is a weird texture of cheese. Overall, I think they have gone downhill :( read more

Hanata Sushi House - Clearly rotten avocado. - Sushi Bars Near Me - London, Ontario

I feel like I must preface this by saying I like AYCE and I'm not a huge fan of raw fish sushi. I go for the veggie-type rolls and the other items on the menu. Service is not quick, but I haven't experienced annoying waits like other reviewers. I've had poorly made rolls (cut too thick, loose rice) and nicely made rolls. It seems to be a crap shoot based on staff. My last experience was a few weeks ago - we went for lunch, soon after it opened and the server was kind, attentive, and the sushi was well made. read more

It seems the reviews thus far have been mixed and our experience was pretty much the same as others who gave this 3 stars. We were seated promptly and asked about drinks right away. So far so good. Our drinks and miso soup arrived very quickly. Looking promising. Our server came and collected our first order and brought us some of what we had ordered. I was happy they didn't wait until everything was ready, as we were very hungry. I found the edamame overlooked and wasn't a fan of the veggie gyoza, but the sashimi was good - we ordered the salmon, butter fish and red snapper. When our sever came by with the rest of our order, she didn't know what was ours and what belonged to another table. I'm pretty sure we ended up with their tempura sauce in the end. When my friend had finished his drink, she asked if he wanted a refill, but neglected to notice that my tea was also empty. She seemed confused when I asked if I could also get a refill. We ordered a second, smaller round and I included desert. The sashimi showed up promptly, but my desert was missing. 20 minutes later, our server came by with our order paper and asked if it belonged to us. Desert finally showed up. The red bean ice cream was worth waiting for. When we went to the front to pay, the guy had no idea which table we were at and charged us for two ice teas (one of us had green tea and the other had green tea and a coke). For AYCE sushi, the food is good, but the service is seriously disorganized. read more

The service is terrible. You never will get all your food and if your gluten free it's a bad place to go. The bathrooms are horrible they are really old. After leaving we are still extremely hungry. We left without getting our food. read more

Personally I love some of the rolls and handrolls suchs the crispy Rolland hand roll, chicken and salmon teriyaki rolls, crispy rolls and dynamite rolls. The beef short rips are pretty good sometimes too much fat on it but the service is always bad. I go here about once every week because it's close by and I can just order my favourite rolls but there's probably only one server that is decent. read more
