| - If you're a sushi fan, you'll love Hana! It's got all of the components of a great meal: variety, value and ambiance. Ok, maybe it's a little light on the ambiance side, but they offer outdoor seating, the indoor area is above average for the non-ubertrendy sushi restaurant category, and they were festively decorated for Halloween, which is cool in my book.
After looking at the menu online, I was a little skeptical at all of the glowing reviews. I'll give you a little secret: the best menu items are the specials that aren't on the menu!
The highlight of the meal was the Walu tataki - at around $20, it comes with maybe 8 thinly sliced, seared pieces. Not cheap, but worth it because it's melt in your mouth delicious! I would've ordered $100 of it but refrained so we could sample other things :) Other standout items were the squid salad (not chewy at all) and the yellowtail sashimi (really fresh and a huge portion).
With some iced teas and a couple of rolls, the meal came to around $40 per person. That's about normal for a sushi dinner, and we preferred our meal here to other top (Yelp) rated sushi restaurants, like Toyama. Outside of Ra's Sunday night happy hour, this will probably become our go-to sushi spot :)
