Truly magnificent. Haruki is the most skilled sushi chef that I’ve had the pleasure to meet. Etsuko explained each course allowing us to truly appreciate and enjoy them. Etsuko and Haruki are a wonderful team which made for a special evening

The Omakase experience was remarkable. The pacing of the entire meal was just right. Every course was visually appealing. Our server described each dish with thoughtful details on the origin of the ingredients and the method the chef used to prepare it. Truly a memorable meal curated by a small business one should be proud to support.

What is the best way to describe Sushi Hana…….not only the best sushi restaurant on the island if Hawaii but the best if any I have been to in the state if Hawaii……and the best sushi restaurant I have been to period. And being from the Pacific Northwest I have been to many great sushi restaurants. What makes Sushi Hana my favorite…..the personal touch in every order….the small informal nature of the restaurant and both the owner and the chef….having every dish be fantastic - full of flavor, fresh and making me want more. Over a span of 9 days I are there 4 times fir normal dinner service and once for Saturday onakase. Each visit made me want to come back again for more. I really look forward to my February visit again. What did I like - every single nagiri item, the wide tempura choice, the miso soup (OMG- absolutely vest ever), the salads, the sake, and more. Go there….enjoy!
