| - Yay for Hana! I guess I'm a little late to find this place but thanks to my friend Brian who loves to try out new places as much as I do (next up, BreadFruit) we went to Hana today for lunch. I was impressed. After my less than stellar experience with Tottie's earlier this week I still had a major hankering for some raw fish...Hana to the rescue!
I had no idea about the small space and the lunch rush but thankfully we got there right around noon and were able to walk right up to the sushi bar and sit down. After being greeted by the amazing sushi chef (didn't get his name) we were brought drinks and we immediately started putting check marks next to all of the selections we wanted to try. Within a minute, we were handed this interesting appetizer of a few tortilla chips with a yummy crab salad with a rice vinegar tasting base. It reminded me of squid salad - either way, it was on the house and was very tasty.
Our first roll came out very quickly and was followed by a bowl of pickled wasabi to try with the sushi. I have eaten at MANY sushi restaurants, but have never been given this. Yum! Placed on top of the sushi it is very good, definitely try it. We went through each of the rolls - the Alaska was very good, the salmon nigiri was amazing, literally so fresh it melted in my mouth. The Vegas roll and the Dynamite roll were great as well.
As we are finishing, the sushi chef starts talking to us about Giant Clam. Neither of us had seen a Giant clam before, so he pulled it out and starts showing us how it splashed you with salt water that comes out of its mouth. I thought it was very interesting, I'm not sure if the lady next to me did because she got salt water on her. My friend and I had to take a picture because it was unlike anything I'd ever seen but like something I have definitely seen, all at the same time. Its a little scary, I'm not going to lie. In fact, it looks slightly like something from a 70s porn movie. That's just what I've heard, not that I've ever seen a 70s porn, I mean, what kind of a girl do you think I am? Gosh! I took a picture on my phone so I will post it here for those of you who have never seen one.
Overall, I had a good experience. As someone said earlier, the food tastes so much better when the sushi chef is smiling and enjoying himself.
It was just fast enough for a lunch hour, just enough food, and just enough fun. However, it did get very busy after we arrived and there was a wait when we left. I would recommend getting there early to avoid the rush.
Oh, and if you're adventurous, apparently that scary looking giant clam is delicious when sauteed :) I will let one of you try it first and let me know what you think. I'm not that brave yet.
