Hana Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in New Orleans

Apparently this place has been here, unchanged for decades. I've seen it out the corner of my drunken eye several times myself waiting on the street car after leaving Coops, but have never ventured to try it myself. They've been coming since HS, but as it's in uptown, doesn't make it out this way more often. OMG THE MACKEREL! This is my new favorite place. I haven't had saba this good since Morimotos. Maybe it's because I can't get anything resembling good saba in MS, so it been awhile, but damn. I was clutching my pearls and making all kinds of inappropriate noises and faces doing my best Meg Ryan impersonation. You get a comp noodle salad that reminds me of the macaroni salad ban chan you get at Korean restaurants. The miso is standard but good. Some of the best gyoza I've ever had, you can taste the green onion like you're supposed to. There was also a yellowtail, salmon skin, and hana rolls. While they were all good, I'd just come back to load up on the mackerel. I wish these other sushi restaurants would learn that my love and 5 stars can be...

Let me say by far the best 🍣 I have had. I must as that I had stop eating sushi because the more recent visit to sushi houses were not good. This place reminded me why I love sushi. The most significant thing to me was great taste of the sushi. The fish was well prepare and didn't have the strong iodized "fishy" taste you can get from fresh ocean fish. That made the dish for me. There wasn't many non shell options but you can request your sushi without shell fish if you are allergic to 🐚 foods. We had the fish and farm roll, Naruto roll(shell food), dragon roll (w/ shell food) and freshly roll. The freshly roll was best because I love veggies. There is no wheel chair access entrance to this location. Didn't visit the bathroom that is onsite. Host was quick with our starters drink and complimentary noodles and cream sauce. The noodle and cream was excellent. It is a child dish wish tasted good. The bill was inexpensive and the rolls were good size. Please...

Since 2003 I've patronize Hana with family and friends because of the atmosphere was positive and welcoming. Tonight, 12-28-2023, I received the worst customer service from this establishment. 1st, I was greated like she didn't want to seat me where I requested which was the bar. So I was given a table and was by myself and I was rushed in ordering my entree. When I requested for a refill I never received it. The only thing I received was the check in which I paid. The food was on point but service towards me was terrible. I can understand if I had a sarcastic personality with the staff but I always enjoyed talking to the sushi chef to learn the traditional style of the cuisine. I know that this a family based restaurant in which family is hired so I'm not looking for any disciplinary actions, but I should have been treated with respect and I wasn't. Just to let you know that I was the only black person in...
