    Aluminum or metal?
    Bryan C.

    It's my second time ordering from here and have gone through the reviews earlier having one of them with some kind of metal or aluminum string in the meal. I didn't think it would happen to me, but here I am.. I wonder if I already ate multiple pieces without even knowing! I ordered like 4 regular meals to go, but I don't want to waste my money and throw them all away. I guess I'll just keep an eye out on the food till I finish them. But sigh, this will be my last time going here..

    I come here so much they know my name, always greet me with a smile when I walk in. Very reasonably priced, tasty teriyaki bowls.

    amazing food - even better service…read more the past two times i've visited the two servers have been exceptional. incredible reverse happy hour too!

    Full Moon Izakaya was a fun little find! The atmosphere immediately caught our attention the place…read morewas clean, inviting, and the anime decor throughout was such a cool touch. Definitely a vibe for anime lovers! Food-wise, we started with the gyoza and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and even better dipped in the ponzu sauce! We also tried the sushi flight, which was a great way to sample a few different flavors. Overall, I really enjoyed it, although the eel was probably my least favorite of the flight just personal preference. The crispy tuna rice was easily the star of the meal! Crispy, flavorful, and the textures worked so well together. I would 100% order that again. The ramen, however, was just okay for me. It wasn't bad or inedible, but the broth was lacking that rich, deep flavor I look for in a good bowl of ramen. A little more depth and seasoning would really take it to the next level. The service was honestly one of the highlights. Our waiter was super friendly, cool, and attentive without hovering, which I always appreciate. Overall, there were definitely more hits than misses. The great service, fun atmosphere, and crispy tuna rice are enough for me to give Full Moon Izakaya another try. Next time, I'll be exploring more of the menu!

    I came here over 10 years ago when I lived off 3rd Avenue and Camelback. They were the 1st sushi…read moreplace to introduce me to fresh wasabi (it'll change your sushi experience). My car was having issues, set to go for repairs Friday. Thursday had to do some runs. Lyft to do my runs and I'm like I'm getting out the house. Sushi sounds like the plan. I pull up friendly Yelp and look to see if they are still around and they are. Lyft over and it doesn't disappoint, stellar sushi experience but it is on the higher cost side. I ordered the sea bass sashimi special, my favorite the cucumber special roll (just thought about it, this is the 1st place I had that roll). I order it at various places now. But what made my night was the Japanese old fashion. I'm going to see if I can find the simple syrup combo & make this at home it was amazing. I want to go back just for that flipping drink. The waiter was amazing. Fluffy Grandma recommends. 10 Flipping stars!!!

    My wife and I celebrated our 24th Anniversary and decided on coming here. This was our first visit…read more This is authentic Japanese cuisine and every dish is perfection. We ordered a lot between us two, we wanted to indulge for dinner. Ambience inside is quaint with dim lighting. Large TV flat screen showing the Lakers playing the Celtics. Lakers got crushed sadly. The hostess, the servers, and the entire staff were exceedingly accommodating. They refilled my Ginger Ale without me asking, very nice and appreciated. The have a very extensive alcohol selection. Everything that was served to us was masterfully created, taste was a taste bud paradise. So I'm born and raised in Hawaii, I know there's mediocre sushi and than there are places like Hana Japanese Eatery. This place is like eating sushi in Hawaii, super fresh and delicious. See the pics I took. We ordered enough food for 5 people between my wife and I. We will be back again !!! This place has the absolute best customer service. They didn't overlook or forget anything, they provided extra napkins when they saw we needed some. They explained all the sauce profiles for the different dishes. Come to Hana Japanese Eatery and you will not be disappointed. This is your future fave sushi spot. This is officially my wife and I favorite sushi spot in Phoenix !!!
