    IG @allysxn.eats | nice seating and ambiance, right by balboa park! sushi and sashimi was average - pretty fresh but i've also had better. if you're looking for a sushi place nearby balboa park, i would say this is an ok spot and would definitely fulfill any cravings.

    The place was packed but they made us feel like we had the whole place to ourselves. Outstanding experience. The food was delicious. Fresh and tasty. The restaurant is lovely. Very cute place for a date night! We will be back.

    Hane Sushi in San Diego delivered one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I did the omakase, and it was truly exceptional. Chef and owner Roger made the entire experience unforgettable -- his skill, attention to detail, and genuine passion for his craft really showed in every course. The quality of the fish was outstanding, incredibly fresh, and each piece was prepared with care and precision. Every bite was delicious and thoughtfully presented. It felt like a personalized culinary experience rather than just a meal. If you're looking for high-quality sushi and an omakase experience like no other, Hane Sushi is the place. I'll absolutely be back.

    Where do I even start? My wife and I have been going to Hane since Rogersan 1st opened. The place is very casual and chill. The quality and freshness of the fish is hard to beat. We always sit with Rogersan and just let him take us on a journey of nigiri culinary delights. Sit with any of the itamae's if you want the best experience or at the bar with Jonathan cuz he's always so funny to chat with. Also Rogersan's staff are some of the nicest people.

    It's really expensive for the quality of the roll. The itself wasn't too bad but it didn't taste so fresh for some reason, and it certainly didn't highlight the fish. The service was also extremely slow when the restaurant was around 70% full with us getting our first plate around 45 minutes in. In total, it took us almost 2 hours to get the little food we ordered.

    Favorite sushi in San Diego! Freshest fish ever, service is always great, quality never changes.

    Really top-tier sushi. And it's no secret either this place is busy. The family really enjoyed our selections and we split it between sushi and sashimi. My suggestion is to sit at the sushi bar and talk with the chefs. They have a number of tables as well and a very small bar. It's very comfortable restaurant and the owner is very friendly. We will be coming back soon.

    We had an excellent dining experience on a Thursday night. The sushi and non-sushi items are delicious. For appetizers, we ordered yellowtail hamacha (neck bone) and the miso chilean sea bass--both were juicy, flavorful and cooked just right. We also had crunchy roll (shrimp tempura), caterpillar roll (eel), and unagi sushi (eel). We enjoyed the salmon tostada (prepared by Chef Roger Nakamura) that was a little hot, yet slightly sweet with the sauce, and very fresh fish. The food was beautifully presented (i.e., avocado slices displayed and layered just so pretty) and very tasty. We also had a sushi combo (which came with California rolls, unagi sushi, and a variety of raw sushi/cooked sushi)--very pretty! We were celebrating a birthday and surprised with a special grilled pineapple slice and ice cream. The service was friendly and prompt; our server was very nice (Japanese lady whose name started with an "H"). We saw at least four sushi chefs behind the counter and a number of servers and a bartender at the bar in addition to a hostess. The place was busy on a Thursday night, with the sushi counter (seats about 14 people) full and just one or two empty tables in the restaurant. Even the miso soup was delicious with tofu, We look forward to another visit!

    We came here yesterday for lunch and had an awesome experience; this was my 3rd time here and it lives up to the many positive reviews praising the quality of the fish and the overall dining experience. Here, Chef Roger Nakamura, a protégé of the renowned Yukito Ota of Sushi Ota, showcases his mastery of sushi preparation. Diners can expect to find pristine cuts of fresh, seasonal fish meticulously arranged on handcrafted plates, a true testament to Nakamura's dedication to his craft. We particularly enjoyed the tuna tartar appetizer and sushi combination order (comes with miso soup), perfectly paired with a green tea. Hane Sushi is open and the seating area is an airy, light-filled room. The sleek red and black décor creates a modern Japanese aesthetic, with clean lines and minimalist touches that set the perfect stage for the culinary artistry to come. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends. You can book through OpenTable or by calling the restaurant.   Dress code is casual to business attire.

    We were in San Diego the day after Thanksgiving & this place was highly recommended by a friend. The sushi was outstanding! Very fresh & literally melted in my mouth. Superb quality sushi. I didn't like the shrimp tempura roll at all. It was placed on a plate and had soy sauce underneath the entire roll which I've never seen before and it was very salty. I only ate the inside part. The service was just ok. They weren't busy at all - yet the female servers acted annoyed that they were working or had to take our order. They both had a bit of an attitude. That being the reason for 4 stars versus 5. The restaurant itself is nice & has a modern design. I would definitely go back when in San Diego.

I ended up getting the Bluefin Four Ways and it was TO DIE FOR! I didn't even know you could get toro 4 different ways and I honestly enjoyed every way. I also really enjoyed the Unagi (Eel) Nigiri as it was perfectly cooked and such good quality fish. The dessert they brought out for my birthday was very cute and light. I thought it was exactly what we needed after the delicious meal we had. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with anything you get from here. This is definitely my new fave fancy sushi place!

    This is one of the OG sushi spots in San Diego, and I've been coming here on and off for decades…read more It had been quite a few years since my last visit, though. With so many new sushi restaurants opening around town, it's a little out of the way for us, and honestly, I had almost forgotten about it. I'm so glad we decided to come back because it's every bit as good as I remembered. I made a reservation for the sushi bar, which is always my favorite place to sit at a traditional sushi restaurant. Instead of ordering my usual rolls, I decided to splurge on the Chef's Choice nigiri. I also asked the chef to serve each piece one at a time rather than bringing everything out at once. I love taking my time, enjoying each bite, and watching the chefs work, which is another reason I prefer sitting at the counter. The Chef's Choice was absolutely worth it. Every piece was incredibly fresh and beautifully prepared. My favorite was the aged toro, which had been aged for three months. It had such a rich, buttery flavor and completely melted in my mouth. My husband ordered a few specialty rolls, and he was very happy with both the quality and the generous portions. I also upgraded my regular miso soup to the clam miso soup, and I'm so glad I did. The broth was delicate and flavorful without being overly salty, and the clams added a wonderful sweetness. Even though I was already pretty full, I couldn't resist ordering three pieces of tempura after seeing them come out for another customer. I rarely order tempura in the U.S. because it's often heavily battered, when authentic Japanese tempura should be light, crisp, and delicate. If you've ever been to a dedicated tempura restaurant in Japan, you know exactly what I mean. This tempura was surprisingly close to what you'd find in Japan--light, airy, and perfectly crispy without feeling greasy. For dessert, we shared the green tea Basque cheesecake. It leaned a little on the dry side, but I still really enjoyed it because the matcha flavor was rich, bold, and not overly sweet. We also had a chance to chat with Akira-san behind the sushi bar, which made the evening even more enjoyable. The hospitality and attention to detail really reminded me why I've always loved this place. With so many trendy and expensive sushi restaurants in San Diego these days, this restaurant continues to stand the test of time. The quality of the fish is outstanding, the atmosphere is authentic, and I honestly think the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's a classic for a reason, and I'll definitely be making the drive back more often.

Definitely a restaurant I would return for some good Japanese food. O Toro and Yellowtail Belly sushi were simply mouth watering. The way both fish just melts in your mouth and the proportion of rice to fish being just right makes a difference so that it gives you the perfect sushi experience. Shrimp Tempura was tasty. Not overly oily and a nice layer of tempura that wasn't thick. But the best is the shrimp! Definitely didn't taste like those frozen ones and the quality of the shrimp (size, texture, and tasty) was delicious. My son ate 2 out of 3 on his own - and he's very picky with shrimp tempura. Ota B was yummy! It was such a balanced meal of flavor, texture and variety. Even the rice itself was good, I kid you not! Definitely a good value to have if you're there. Our kids didn't want anything else but ended up eating two bowls of just udon. All because it was good udon. What can improve (hence the -1 star) is the service. The server wasn't friendly to begin with, probably because we have two young kids in a nice Japanese restaurant, and perhaps because we didn't order too much since we had a delayed lunch but had this place reserved for dinner already.

That is an excessive amount of fat for something labeled as pork loin and priced at $26. I hope this is informative for others who may be misled by their incorrect claim of "top meat quality."
