| - Restaurant Hana is the epitome of average. Not bad, not great, and definitely not memorable. We came in for dinner tonight, a Friday evening, and were surprised to find we were the only customers in the restaurant while the rest of Butler Street was buzzing with nightlife. This didn't bother us as we often prefer quiet dinner settings, but the hostess proceeded to blare rap music from her phone the entire time we were dining. I enjoy rap as much as the next person, but the lack of professionalism was what caught me off guard. Our waitress was slightly awkward, and we could feel her intense stares piercing through us from across the room. Though, when it came to serving us, she was very diligent and efficient.
Their menu offers a large variety of vegetarian options because almost every dish can be substitute in tofu as the protein. I ordered the General Tso's Tofu ($10), one of my all-time favorites. The tofu was fresh, but not very crispy. The sauce tasted fine in the beginning, but towards the end, it was clear that they made it a bit too sour. To top it off, they don't give nearly as much rice as they should and charge $2 for an extra scoop. Pure thievery!
My boyfriend ordered the Chicken Pad Thai ($11) which he described simply as mediocre. He was especially not a fan of how wet the noodles were. Stay away from the Pad Thai, I guess.
