| - My friends and I visited on a Friday at around 5:30pm. We were seated almost immediately as the restaurant was almost empty, with one or two other tables. During our visit, the lower conveyor belt (not the monorail) where hot food are supposed to rotate around wasn't in service and thus, cannot judge those food. Once we were seated, the staff gave us a brief explanation on how the ordering and rail works, which is quite nice.
Overall, the experience was okay at best. The quality of their fish/sushi is fairly fresh, better than for sure ayce places, but is obviously not on par with top restaurants of the same category in the Downtown core. However, the main problem with this is that they are charging downtown prices, and that can add up to quite a bit as the portion themselves are incredibly small. At other restaurants, you can get a full roll of 6 pcs for around $7 but at Hana, it will be at least $3 but you will only receive 2 tiny pieces which imo, is not worth your money. The salmon sashimi slices we ordered were also tiny, smaller and thinner than the slices you'll get when you visit an ayce restaurant. Since portions are incredibly tiny, the cost of your meal will accumulate to quite a bit in order to fill your stomach.
In addition, the servers also roamed around, staring at us as we were ordering. My friends and I all mentioned this when we left because we felt like we were being pressure to order as we were being considerate to our wallet lol
Overall, I believe you are paying for the gimmick and not for the sushi. There are many other places where you can indulge your sushi craving, and Hana is not one.
