| - I love Hana! I really wish I had gone there tonight instead of Moto, which is horrible.
But anyway, back to Hana. I've been there quite a few times. It's best to go early--around 5:30, right when they open. When I've gotten there around 5:30-5:45, I haven't had to wait in line. Otherwise, it gets pretty packed and you'll probably end up waiting.
Everything I've ever had here is good. Salmon nigiri is my favorite, and theirs is delicious. The salmon is so buttery and flavorful, and not nasty and fishy tasting like at some places. They put pieces of lemon on each piece of fish, which makes the flavor come out in a delightful way.
Every roll I've had has been delicious. I really like the shrimp tempura roll, and the Hana roll (which is similar) is also good. Those are the two rolls I've had there most recently.
They also do takeout--so I get takeout sushi here when I'm stressed from work and feel like splurging. It's always worth it.
Their squid salad is also delish, and so is the pork gyoza.
As for the service, it's always been great every time I've been there. We've had the same waiter the past few times--not sure of his name, but he's kind of hipstery and has dark hair. He's always very friendly and helpful.
Good to know--it's BYOB. But I had a problem once--I brought a Jack Daniels brand malt liquor beverage--similar to a Smirnoff Ice or something. I guess the owner thought it was pink whiskey, because they wouldn't let us drink it. But, they're cool with beer & wine. The waiter said he'd look into drinks like the ones I brought to find out if they're ok under the liquor license that the restaurant has, so I'm not sure if that rule has changed or not.
I definitely recommend Hana. I plan to go back again ASAP.
