| - Pretty darn good.
Tiny little place. Really tiny. The party of 14 waiting in front of me was surprised by the length of their wait time and left, but I mean what did they expect? In order to accommodate a party of 14 the place would have to pretty much clear out entirely. During dinner rush on a Saturday that might take a second.
So, walking in and seeing they size, I imagined I too would have a bit of a wait.
I put my name down but the hostess had no idea how long the wait would be, she simply told me there were "a lot of parties ahead of you".
So, that was helpful.
In any case we were there and wanted sushi, so we were in. It gave the fellas of my party time to run to the store to buy some wine as the joint is BYOB. I actually thought that was pretty cool, I like it.
We ended up waiting about an hour. When we were seated our server was a little short with us. She was busy. So far this sounds like a 2 star review, amirite?
But then we ordered. First off, I really like that they offer so many non-sushi dishes. My husband ALWAYS wants sushi, and sometimes I'm just not diggin' it, Hana's got me covered. The Yasai Yakisoba was really good, the noodles had a nice gingery bite, the whole table enjoyed bites. I've got my eye on the ramen for next time.
We ordered a variety of sushi. It all came in a wooden boat, a member of our party sang a bit of Andy Samberg's 'on a boat'' there were laughs, thanks wine. There was a sugar cube on fire too, boy's love stuff on fire so half the table was really impressed.
Every thing tasted fresh, and these are not the dime sized rolls that places like Sushi Brokers tries to pass off as sushi. The only thing we weren't super impressed with was the baked scallop special, it tasted like sweet baby ray's bar-b-q sauce... not great.
So basically service needs work, sushi is good, fresh, and a fair size, and the noodles are bomb.
