Extremely friendly staff, and all hard workers. I came to this restaurant around 5pm on a Saturday and it was busy. Every table was full but they sat me at the bar. I waited about 35 minutes to receive my food. Would I have liked to receive it sooner? Yes, but I could tell the kitchen was working hard and it was busy. They did what they could I got an 8.00 Sake Maki role and the Nebeyaki Udon soup dish to compliment the rainy and moody weather The sushi roll wasn't anything special. Salmon, rice and seaweed, you really can't go wrong! I'm going to to come back and try other rolls cause the sushi here looks delicious The soup was full of Sweet and savory ... It definitely had that umami flavor but the shrimp and egg were very overcooked. The soup was boiling hot when I received it, the egg was hard boiled, not poached and the shrimp tempura was tough and rubbery. The variety of ingredients impressed me though. The fish cake, fried tofu, mushrooms, and pea crisps were delicious and flavorful! I would get this dish again, because it truly did taste good, I just wish they'd out the shrimp and egg into the broth later so that they didn't come out overcooked. Loved the vibe here, food was good.. this place has a good thing going! read more

Amazing! Port Townsend roll & Tonkotsu ramen. If you walk in and see an open table, grab it. You order at the counter. It is small inside and can get busy, but it is definitely worth the wait! read more

By now I must have multiple duplicate photos of this place. We like it so much, we keep coming back. This time I decided to try their Donburi instead of ramen. It is market price for $22 and it is totally worth it. The only thing I wish is more rice. We also love the Green tea tiramisu. It was good size for two people and love the bitterness of the matcha and plum sake. Yum! The hybrid service works great. The young lady was given us our three course meal and timed just right. We love this little cozy shop. read more

Great sushi counter service that requests a tip is somewhat annoying but hey everyone is doing it. A good remedy is get it to go!

Service quality is extremely poor. Staff did not explain you have to wait in line to order and should have asked "have you ever been here before." And took the time to explain how the service or lack there of works. I would not complain if it was made clear it was self service. In addition, I had to send back my mushroom special and the server walked away when I explained the food issue. She literally walked away as I was talking to her, the service is something that needs to be improved on a major level. I tipped 20-percent before I was given extremely poor service because you have to pay before you which was also not explained to me. read more

We were visiting nearby and dropped by the town center for food. The two restaurants we checked were either fully booked or had a long line, so we eventually stumbled upon this gem! My friends and I shared assorted tempura. We each ordered a noodle dish - tonkatsu ramen, champon, and Tom yum noodle soup. It took a while for the food to show up, but they were amazing! We all agreed that the champon was the best - good variety of ingredients, broth of catching umami, lots of veggies. The tonkatau ramen was a classic one, and mine was an interesting combination of Tom yum soup and pho noodle. The assorted tempura was delicious as well - had a good balance of veggie and seafood. Service was great yet slow; food was delicious and in huge portion; price was reasonable. read more

The real thing when you want Japanese chow, in an authentic atmosphere eating very well made traditional items. Of course, sushi rolls, stir-fried noodles (hot or cold), Donburi (stir fried meats &/or veggies over rice), a number of combos and straight forward noodle soups,Bento (usually known as bento boxes) like a cafeteria platter with slots and walled spaces for a number of items, and daily specials. If the chefs are in a creative mood they put together some very different items, which will be highlighted. Beverages include saki(s), beer and wine, along with teas, coffee and soft drinks. Service very good and helpful. Clean and well managed. read more

The menu looked good but the food was bland. Very loud. Service inconsistent around their seating order. Lots of chaos in the kitchen and service. Unsanitary reuse of leftover boxes which were handled by the customer but not used and then placed back into use for the next customer. Only plus was that it is open on Sunday evening. read more

We absolutely love this place. The seating is small so get there early if you have 4 plus people. Our group ordered just about the menu. So we all tried a little of everything and it was well worth it. The food and staff were amazing. Planning a trip back real soon. read more

Friendly and prompt service. Place your food order at the counter and grab a seat. . Place is a bit small so make sure you go earlier. Food is delicious and portion is reasonable. Always our first choice when visiting Port Townsend. read more

It said yellow tail on the menu for the donburi bowl, but that wasn't yellow tail. It was ? tasteless tuna. Otherwise enjoyed the place. read more

Absolutely love this place! Lots of variety and amazing food! Been coming here for 18 years!!!! Delicious sushi, awesome Tom yum, all around great everytime!!! read more

Two delicious specials and a seaweed salad. I have never had anything but perfectly prepared and presented food at this restaurant. I enjoy their regular menu, and they often have an appetizer and a couple of entrees on the specials board. It is good to understand that this is not a fast food place, especially if they are very busy. The food is prepared to order and is delicious! read more

Phenomenal sushi, worth the wait. Definitely call to order ahead for takeout. Service was great, staff was friendly, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. read more

I tried this place once. Excellent in every way, just hard to get a seat since they are so popular! Worth the wait!!

Best noodle shop on the peninsula. The Tom Yum is out of this world, best I have ever had. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped in last Saturday right at noon, second customer of the day, this is a clean and organized restaurant, you order at the front and they bring the food to your table. My wife and I both had the Hanazono Roll, which is a spicy albacore tuna roll, it was fresh and packed with flavor and not too spicy. Also had the miso soup and an order of potstickers. Will be back for sure and want to try a noodle dish, saw many people ordering noodles and they looked great! I highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared to be patient because the place fills up fast, but is worth the wait! read more

We highly recommend the Hanazono Roll - albacore tuna. Delicious and 12 pieces to share among the 4 of us as an appetizer. The Tom-Yum noodle soup and Nabeyaki Udon noodle soups were hearty and delicious. To put the fire of the spice out from the Tom-Yum, have a piece of Green Tea Tiramasu cake - perfect ending. You can see the kitchen and preparation of the food. The owner/chef is very hospitable and so is the general ambiance of the place. read more

This little gem is tucked into a small space next to the Rose Theater on Taylor Street. Met a friend here for lunch and though the space is small, there are SO many yummy options on the menu! I settled on the Kakiage soup with udon noodles and tofu because it looked so different from anything I had seen on a menu. And YUM! Other reviews mention the delicious broth in their soups and it was! Staff is friendly and service was efficient. We arrived right after it opened and the tables quickly filled up so obviously popular with the locals-always a good sign. Am definitely planning a return visit. read more

It takes a special team to recognize a fraught mother with a hungry toddler in a slammed restaurant on a Friday night but these beautiful humans did. Almost as soon as we sat down, the hostess noticed my son was hangry and remedied the impending storm with an immediate bowl of warm rice with soy sauce (which he inhaled) plus a coloring book and crayons. The chef smiled and made him giggle over the counter while mummy caught her breath and by the time the (scrumptious) Agedashi tofu and yakiudon arrived, all was calm, all was bright. Hallelujah. read more

Really top notch noodle house! The broths are outstanding! Do get the spinach salad, it isn't what you'd expect but it is outstanding. Been here several times, never disappointed. read more

stopped in here for lunch because my friend who comes up to the area with frequency raved about their noodles. the port townsend film festival was going on and the line outside made for interesting people watching since we sat in the window seat. we got stir fried soba with veggies and tofu and the daily special green sushi roll with spinach and tempura green beans. both were very good and satisfied the lunch cravings for both of us. the restaurant was fairly empty but my friend said every time she's been there it's packed with a libe of people waiting outside for tables to be vacated. i'm thinking it was the crowds of the film festival that caused such a difference in who was looking for japanese food at lunchtime. but as soon as films let out and later in the day, i bet more tables would have been occupied. this is a place to keep on my radar for future return visits to pt. they do a good job and i'm happy to know about them. read more

How am I just now finding out about this place? I got the Hanazono roll (which is a take on a spicy tuna roll) it was humongous, tuna was buttery...I have not had a roll this good in a very, very long time. I'm still thinking about it the next day. Not too saucy, not too skimpy, creative and well-presented. One roll was enough whereas I typically need 2-3 rolls to be satisfied. I will have a hard time going anywhere else in town, for fish or otherwise. I'd give them 6 stars if I could. read more

Hands down, the absolute best food in Port Townsend and I've been here longer than most ;) I always order 'too' much because it is impossible not to. I literally crave hanazono, so good! read more

We have been enjoying the food here for a number of months now. The sushi rolls are nice and very filling. The bowls are awesome and wonderful, very fulfilling and flavorful. You order at the counter and pay when you make your selection. A little tip, come in and find a table, get your water and utensils and put them on your table, then order at the counter, noting your table number. It will make your experience much more enjoyable and comfortable. This is not a fast food place, have patience and understand everything is made to order and takes time. Wish we had a place like this where I live!! Enjoy!!! read more

I was expecting much more out of this establishment given how busy it is but was not impressed at all. There is very little seating here and if you are lucky enough to get a table, you'll have to order and pay at the counter. The ramen broths we ordered were both very bland. There are no condiments or sauces to 'spice' it up. You have to serve your own water, get your own utensils (nor tells you where they are) and nobody checks on you once you're given your food. Nor are any of the dishes removed from your table once say your appetizer is finished and your main entree comes out. Usually this wouldn't be a big deal but it is kind of lame when you are siting at a very small table. They are obviously more focused on capitalizing on take out orders then they are on customer service w/ people sitting down for a meal in their establishment. read more

We got takeout while on vacation. Their setup for takeout is really great, with a plexiglass window setup at their door. The food was delicious, the servings were generous. The agedashi tofu was the best I've ever had, the broth was so delicious. read more

We were just visiting. This is some of the best ramen I've ever had. The ordering is a pain as they don't take your order at your table, but it's worth a little struggle for this amazing food. Thanks Hanazono! read more

Had chanpon ramen noodle ($14) and yakisoba ($12), decent taste. Friendly server, nice casual atmosphere. Still I don't know why Ramen and Yakisoba are expensive in the US. You can get amazingly delicious ramen and yakisoba with a half of the price in Japan... チャンポンと焼きそばを食べて見ました。日本のお値段と味の基準が頭から抜けないので、満足とは言えないんですが、アメリカだということを考えると、いい方かも。 read more

We got the salad and Hana roll bath were excellent and salad was a good in portion size as well.

Tonkatsu ramen is perfection. I lived in Japan for two years, and I'd say this was the perfect mix of authentic, but with its own spin. This place is an hour away from my home, but I think I'll be coming up here a few times a month to try everything else on the menu. read more

We were on a hunt for a nourishing meal after five days of hiking in the Olympics and very happily stumbled upon Hanazono! Delicious ramen and lots of side dishes to choose from if that's your thing. Highly recommend for any meal and look forward to returning again soon. read more

Hanazono is a charming bustling little place with great food. Love the edamame and veggie donburi so much! And there's sometimes the most decadent gluten free chocolate layer cake! I never leave disappointed. It's a special little spot in PT! Deb read more

Creative asian fusion! I mostly go for sushi, which is fresh, creative, generous, delicious. But their periodic specials are really amazing and worth exploring - love their creativity. The ahi tacos!!! OMG delicious, it's like flavorful poke in a crunchy shell, so good. The noodle bowls and warm entrees are great winter fare, delicious. I am looking forward to seeing the dining room re-opened post COVID - I miss the cozy crowded vibe. But eat-in or to-go, this place is worth the wait, you will not be disappointed. read more
