Hanabi Sushi — Restaurant in Mountain View

Do you enjoy eating sushi at a good price? Hanabi Sushi in Mountain View, located conveniently by the Costco Warehouse store, offers a delightful dining experience that balances quality, affordability, and convenience.

Ambiance: Hanabi Sushi is a straightforward sushi spot with ample space and seating during lunch hours. The decor is minimalistic but inviting, creating a relaxed atmosphere perfect for both casual dining and business lunches.

Visit Details: I visited on May 29 around 12 PM. The place was quiet and not very busy, which was surprising given the quality of the food and the reasonable prices by Mountain View, CA standards. I appreciated the peaceful setting, allowing me to enjoy my meal without the usual lunchtime rush.

Service: Our waitress was friendly yet unobtrusive, perfect for those on the introverted side. She checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed without engaging in excessive chit-chat. This level of attentive service is a must for good customer service.

Parking: The parking situation is excellent as Hanabi Sushi shares a spacious parking lot with Costco, making it convenient to find a spot without stress.

Menu and Food: The menu at Hanabi Sushi is extensive, offering a wide variety of options to cater to different tastes and dietary preferences. I ordered the Dinner Combo Bento plate for $23.00, which includes one protein, one side, rice, ginger, wasabi, salad, and miso soup. The miso soup can be upgraded to clam or mushroom for an additional $3.00.

For my protein, I chose spicy chicken. It was juicy and well-seasoned, though I wished for a spicier kick. The California Rolls (8 pieces) were fresh and delicious. I also ordered a passion fruit green tea, which was refreshing and garnished with two slices of lemon.

Overall Experience: The portions were well-balanced, and the food was excellent. The salad was crisp and fresh, the rice was perfectly cooked, and the miso soup, although not as hot as I prefer, was flavorful. The quiet atmosphere and excellent service made my visit enjoyable.

I highly recommend Hanabi Sushi for its quality food, reasonable prices, and excellent service. Whether you are a long-time sushi enthusiast or new to Japanese cuisine, Hanabi Sushi is a must-visit. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu items. Hanabi Sushi has certainly earned a spot on my list of favorite dining spots in Mountain View.

This service was absurdly bad, and that is an understatement. For starters, the server completely forgot about us and we had to wait over 15 minutes for menus. Next, my friend had a wasp in his meat, that was dead for a very long time. At this point our server was switched and he was very kind and we did receive a discount. Once we got the new server more mistakes were made. I asked for shrimp and no shellfish in my meal 5 times and received only shellfish and no shrimp. In addition to that my other friend ordered a simple 6 piece sushi and did not receive it for 45 minutes until we asked again. I have never seen such a dysfunctional kitchen in my entire life. In addition, I have never waited longer at a restaurant to receive the correct service and be halfway content. If you ever go here don’t sit outside because they WILL forget about you. The only good thing that came out of this was the discount on our food which was a blessing. The only thing they got going for them is that the food they actually manage to do right...

A new sushi place in the Costco/Ross mall, couldn't resist popping in. However, it's sushi was not the freshest

PRO: In a great mall (Costco, Ross) Beautiful dining area Big menu

CON: Sushi wasn't fresh. I grabbed it middle week. I didn't want to believe it but salmon had no taste. I kept some for leftover the next day and it was worse. Good sushi still tastes good the next day Came here for the Shishito peppers. I was surprised they were deep fried. They weren't good. Parking can be difficult since it's in the Costco/Ross mall

SUMMARY: Since it's close to one of my favorite malls I thought I'd come here after shopping nearby. The menu looks good and it's big so I ordered a lot. I was disappointed. Sushi lacked flavor, it had no taste and some if it did not taste fresh (not good for sushi). Had some appetizers but the Temepura Shishito peppers were blah. If I had one good sushi roll, I would have given it another chance but that...
