Service was fairly quick. Everyone was nice. You can't really sit where you'd like to though. They were not busy & we asked for the corner but it's set for 3 people. (Even though later we saw 2 people get seated there). We were told that they bring out one order item at a time to ensure quality. Glad our kids weren't with us, they would starve between their orders. The softshell crab hand roll should not be a hand roll. Most of the filling came right out (didn't help the person who served it accidentally dropped it over the side). The salmon sashimi was good & fresh but thin and 3 small slices. The beef skewers were good and flavorful. The chicken skewers, well, they weren't cooked completely. Only the end pieces were eaten. I did enjoy the potstickers. Perfectly cooked. Soft on one side and crunchy (not burnt) on the other. They did lacked seasoning so definitely use the sauce that comes with them. The martini was just okay. Stick to what is popular there and I'm sure you can't go wrong. Hubs enjoyed his drink and it came in a cute fish cup. Would I go back? Maybe for a light lunch but definitely not for dinner; portions are too small for me. read more

Came here during happy hour that overlapped into early dinner time. I highly recommend coming during this time if you can! We splurged and got the Geso Karaage, Wasabi Shumai, and Curry Croquette. Geso Karaage - good crunchy batter, squid is tender Wasabi shumai - wasabi flavor definitely there to open your sinuses, juicy pork, good flavor Curry Croquette - loved the katsu breading, was very filling I got the 4 hand roll set. This was plenty of food considering we overdid it with appetizers since it was happy hour. The 4 set alone might not fill up the average person for dinner. I liked the first three and the final hand roll was the tempura shrimp. It was kind of an underwhelming end to the meal. I wish they would substitute the tempura shrimp hand roll with something a little more exciting to end the meal on a better note. read more

The place is very cool. Food is fantastic and great happy hour. Hidden, but worth it. Speak easy in the back is a great added bonus.

I ordered takeout and got quite a bit of food. It looks pretty and was packaged nicely. However i think the food itself was super underwhelming and can confidently without hesitation i've had much better. I just feel like the flavor profile was a little bit off and the fish itself was not a standout in terms of quality. The best hand roll place i've ever tried was ROL in california. If ROL was a 10/10 then Hando was like a 5/10. read more

I have yet to dine in at Hando, but I do order their three cut roll set to go, where they offer eight pieces of spicy tuna, salmon, and blue crab for only $19. This set is a good value, as the quality of the sushi is great and fills me up. This is perfect for when you just want simple sushi and don't have time to dine in. The brussels sprouts are also very flavorful and crispy, which I would recommend. read more

Salmon Kama, Scallop Skewer, Beef Skewer are delicious. Fried oyster and soft shell crab hand rolls were my favorite. The ocean trout, shrimp katsu, blue crab, and unagi handrolls were good too. They make each handroll one-by-one for you to eat before making the next one. Clean restaurant, nice atmosphere. Friendly, informative servers. read more

Food was great and delivery was great. Will order again. Planning on eating in house at a later date.

Pretty neat concept with fantastic food that doesn't make you feel stuffed or bloated. Music and atmosphere was very hip with a good vibe that wasn't overbearing Handrolls were delicious and just the right portions. They have a wide range of Sake that will take some lifetimes to experience. Will definitely be back and can't wait! read more

Food was amazing! Something different than the regular sushi place! Service was amazing. All the waitstaff served you not only the person that took your order! It's a small place and doesn't take reservations so either be patient or go early! read more

My 9 year old has asked me to post on his behalf, here goes it... If I could, I would rate this place 15 stars. It is the best sushi place I've had in a long time. I would like to recommend the Salmon Hand Roll with no sesame seeds. It's the best roll I've ever had. read more

In other words..."eh". Not really what was expected. It much food for the price. Didn't really get the whole seats at the counter thing, felt a little too close to my neighbor. The curry items did not seem to go with the sushi theme. Def threw me off. If you're really, really hurting for sushi, then give it a try. Just not my jam. read more

This place is fantastic addition to spring branch. Cocktails are half off during happy hour and the drinks are really really good! Food is fantastic the rolls are big and filling so you don't need too many rolls to fill up on. I love the ambience it reminds me of Japan. Very good value definitely recommend! read more

Had a great time at Hando! The food was amazing, service was good, and the ambiance was perfect. I went with 3 other friends and sitting together in the corner was perfect for us to still have conversations all together :) Will definitely come back! read more

Rolls were small and overpriced. Brussels sprouts appetizer was *all leaves*. Let me repeat that, it was just chewy leaves with some flavorful bonito ribbons and the mayo-based sauce. At $19 for three small rolls, $11 for one small toro roll, and $7 for an ounce or two of leaves I felt ripped off by the end of our meal. And I say that having enjoyed the restaurants at either end of that shopping center multiple times. To-go order came with prepackaged ginger full of additives. For these prices I expected better. Karaage portion was fair and the only menu item I would reorder. read more

I visited this place for dinner with high expectations based on the number of stars given but unfortunately, I was not impressed at all. I was expecting great sushi from the photos and reviews given but it was just a sushi bar-style setup which was different but not my cup of tea. The hand rolls although fresh were not very impressive since most of the main ingredients seemed overpowered by the amount of sushi rice added to the roll and little was left for the main ingredient, e.g. soft shell crab, etc. to burst your taste buds. If you're into hand rolls, try this place, but don't expect to be wowed! The service was great so that was a plus. read more

Awesome service and even better food, cocktail maker needs help we were waiting a long time between drinks, but not enough to knock off a star. read more

The service was great! My favorite small plate were the brussels sprouts. The music was a little loud, but no big deal. I enjoyed what they were playing. read more

We have tried Hando in SB twice and both times were very pleased with the food quality and service. If you like fried goodness, Happy Hour is a must. We actually prefer the hand rolls. Our favorites are the Blue Crab and Salmon. Their drinks are more on the fruity side but all very refreshing. Always get great service when we are there! read more

Love this place! They make the perfect handroll! Highly recommend the soft shell crab handroll and the yellow tail hand roll

Came here for lunch and the sushi was yummy it taste fresh, the service was fast, cute and small place bar sitting type of sushi restaurant.

Fried Oyster rolls are a favorite for my family. My family came with the owner's parents during soft opening and we came back again. I'd recommend this place if you have sushi cravings. Good food and vibes. Great service by the team. read more

Highest quality sushi! Loved the blue crab, hand roll. Plus, the speak easy the have next door makes this place even better. I'll be coming back soon. read more

So happy Hando is in our backyard!! Fantastic food and service. Nice sushi spot for a date but they were also really friendly and welcoming to my two littles in the middle of the day. The ocean trout hand roll was delish and I got the 4 piece set. All tasty but yellowtail and fried oyster rolls were real highlights! Honestly I was so hungry during a late lunch that I inhaled everything and forgot to take pics! Next time! They also have a happy hour 3-6pm and the cocktails looked amazing! read more

Love the bar set up! The drinks were great and the rolls were amazing! Great service. We will be back soon. read more

The food is always good, and I always manage a great deal on my orders. Convenient location as well as top service!

Better parking and less crowded than their Heights location. A regular staple and always good. Have to check out the Tokyo themed speakeasy in the back while you are there. read more

Tried Hando for dinner for the first time last night and was very happy I did. Loved everything from the concept the bar seating, the menu and the drink menu. The staff are behind a u-shaped bar serving drinks, sushi and hot small plates. The hand rolls are served 1 at a time which I really liked. Gives is a Tapas feel and allows you to really savor each bite as well as enjoy your drinks and good conversation. The food was very fresh and tasty. Highly recommend Hando for a fun evening and great food. read more

So So good. Can't wait to go back. Nice to have top notch sushi in the neighborhood!!!!!!

Where to begin... I was not sure what to expect the first time I went so I held off doing a review after the first visit. Everything went SPLENDIDLY on that first trip.. Great food. OUTSTANDING service. Knowledgeable staff. I thought that because they were new that things would taper off and I could give a more factual review to those that wanted to know.... Months later now I have tried almost everything on the menu and I am completely sold.. What a great place for high quality food, great service, strong drinks, and just a great time in general. I have tried everything on the menu at this point and though I am a picky eater I have yet to try something that turned me off. This place is AWESOME. I'm used to eating sushi at Kuu regularly and though Hondo is not on the same level, they certainly have earned their place with regular, frequent visits at half the cost of a place like Kuu. I LOVE the specials and always allow them to bring me whatever special they have at the time. It allows a person like me with limited tastes to try new things each time. I have never been let down, and always want to come back and try more new things. Typically, I will eat some food on the serving side, and then head over to Kanpei (spelling?) for a refreshing beverage. On that side of the restaurant i have met Mandy who is the trainer for all of the new bar staff. She is superb. Never misses the mark. Since I don't know the drink menu that well I just tell her what I like in alcohol and let her make whatever she thinks I might like.. She has not missed the mark yet! She is so knowledgeable on where the various liquors are made, and how the various concoctions will work together that I trust her implicitly to make whatever she thinks I want to drink.. I think they call it "dealers choice". She has never let me down. What a FUN place to go for a first date, or even as a married couple, or even just a night out with friends, just to throw caution to the wind, and experience a great night. Whether you are looking for a place to have a formal dinner, or just snack a bit, THIS IS THE PLACE. If you are on the fence about trying out a new spot-do not hesitate as you will be missing out on a great spot. If you go for food-take a minute after your meal to head back to Kanpei as it's geared towards a little more romantic setting where you can actually talk to each other without loud music interfering with your conversation. It's intimate. It's quiet. It's just the place you want to be to get to know the person you invited, or brought, with you, better. I have had so many great memories in this place that I can't remember what I was doing, or where I was going, before they opened this location. Go see Mandy if you have a chance.. She will make a memorable night for you-I promise. If she is not working that night-just know she trained the people that are serving you and you are in good hands. LOVE HONDO! Give it a shot if you have not already. I don't know of any other places where everyone is as friendly, and just wants to have a good time, and good night. read more

The food was awesome! It tastes fresh. We ordered so many things off the menu and everything was delicious!

Great food and drinks. They will not seat you until your whole party is there, even if it's just 2 people so keep that in mind.

We love Hando. It's great in person or to go. So glad they've added another location in Spring Branch!

Fantastic place. Lovely servers and perfect ambiance. Groovy music attentuated to the match our energy as we were served drinks, handrolls and the notorious brussel sprouts dish which was an excellent appetizer. The skewered beef was excellent. Plentiful parking for cars and a nice front space area for sports bike parking and remember to enter from the right which is a covered hallway. See you soon Hando! read more

Made our first visit to the Hando location in Spring Branch. Loved everything about it. The variety of things we could try was amazing. The only thing better than the food, was the service. Kira and the rest of the crew took great care of us. Looking forward to our next visit. read more
