Hana — Restaurant in New York

This is my go-to sushi takeout restaurant. I've tried several sushi places near my area, but none are as good as Sushi Hana. Personally, I am not particularly fond of sushi, but it's at the top of my family's luxury comfort meals, so I have to go with the flow. My family don't eat raw sushi, so I have to keep that in mind whenever I order sushi. Luckily, Sushi Hana's menu specifies whether something is cooked or not, so this makes my job so much easier.

You might be wondering why the heck would people want to eat cooked sushi, when the good stuff is the raw fish options? Yes, I know, but that's my family for you. Trust me, I always get strange looks from wait staff at other sushi restaurants when I ask which of the menu items are cooked. Anyway, everyone in the family has sensitive stomachs, so raw food is not going to be appreciated by their guts, which will result in hours on the porcelain throne. So my review is for anyone else out there who is interested in only the cooked sushi options, because this is what I buy from Sushi Hana every time.

The miso soup is nice, with bits of tofu floating at the top, and seaweed at the bottom. It's not particularly outstanding, and I consider it to be standard fare. It's not too salty, which is good.

The bubble tea tastes like chalky powder, and the bubbles are rubbery. So now I always get the Shirley Temple instead. It's a fizzy cherry flavored drink with maraschino cherries on the bottom.

When the sushi arrives, it comes in a neatly arranged circular box or multiple rectangular boxes, depending on how much you've ordered, and that's when I have trouble figuring out which roll is which, so forgive me if I can't describe each roll in detail. I usually only pick from the special rolls that cost over $10 per item.

The only raw roll I order which is acceptable by my family is the spicy crab roll. It is simply spicy crabmeat surrounded by rice. I have no way to gauge how high the quality of the crabmeat is, but it doesn't cause any stomach issues, and it tastes fine to me, so judge that how you will. It doesn't taste spicy at all, even to the person who can't tolerate any spiciness in my family.

The best roll is the Godzilla roll. I order this every time, and this is the roll I eat the most of. It's a fried roll with a mixture of fish and spicy mayo. I recall there was another fried roll on the menu before, but I no longer see this as an available option, which is a shame, because it was just as good as the Godzilla roll.

The Dragon roll is the standard eel and avocado roll, with a drizzle of unagi sauce. The Cowboy roll is a new roll with shrimp tempura inside, and a piece of seared steak on the outside. It's a weird combination, but tastes fine. I do think that the surf & turf sushi concept is not necessary, since it doesn't miss much if you remove the slice of steak from the outside. The 007 roll is like the Cowboy roll, but instead of steak on the outside, there is eel and avocado. The eel and shrimp combination work much better in this case. The Empire roll has crabmeat inside, and salmon dressed with spicy mayo outside. I don't like the Ocean Tiger roll, which has lobster on the inside and wrapped with marbled seaweed on the outside. The rice to fish proportion is off, and the lobster did not taste good to me.

Other than that, I've ordered several other types of special rolls from Sushi Hana, since I try to mix and match and experiment with the roll options. I recall that any rolls with cream cheese are absolutely disgusting, so I avoid those from now on. There were also rolls with mango, which are also odd-tasting to me. While not unpleasant, I'd rather have savory over sweet rolls when eating sushi.

Overall, Sushi Hana has great cooked sushi options, although there are some misses here and there. I recommend this restaurant for their delicious special rolls, although I can't give any opinion on their raw options and other cooked food, since I've only eaten their cooked...

Came here for dinner. Wouldn't recommend this place. The salmon were super thin with a lot of rice. The app wasn't any better. The "Thai" soup was literally drinking MSG. It tasted really bad, does not taste like soup at all. It seemed as if there were too much "soup" and not enough ingredients. The calamari was okay I guess. 4 pieces. But who doesn't make good calamari?! The rest of the food was pretty bland. The other thing that was alright was the pad Thai. Chicken was good.

Nonetheless, I gave it another go for a lunch bento box hoping it was better. I don't think it got better, probably worse. The bento box was super small. I think I'll stick with wasabi down a block or two.

From the angle, I'm pretty sure Serena Z. Works for them. The pictures were taken behind the sushi bar. And it most definitely did not come out looking like that when my sushi was put on to the table. The calamari did not come out looking good like that either. It was just a plate with sauce and 4 pieces of calamari. Nothing fancy like the picture shown.

Another thing, I'm really upset about was the sashimi. I mean, I come here for dinner expecting to eat sashimi with my girlfriends but none of us eat anything besides salmon sashimi. We wanted salmon only sashimi and wrote that on the paper. They came back stating they cannot make "salmon only" sashimi. I think this is the first place that has told me that cannot make salmon only for the sashimi section. I was pretty upset about that.

I know the food was bad but the customer service seems very good. Whenever I need something, they're always around maybe because it's pretty dead inside. There was only one table sitting besides my table. Once I entered, the sushi bar people stared directly at me and my friends just standing around. Felt really unpleasant and uncomfortable. The one star was for the...

This place is really hit or miss. I order from here often and and I’ve had great meals but also meals where the quality wasn’t up to par. Ive had cold miso soups in the past and other times I’ve had pineapple fried rice where chicken tasted old and reheated. I even had sushi that didn’t taste fresh. I’ve never complained. However, when they get it right their food is good and is delivered quickly. I continued to order from them for that reason. However, they recently delivered food where the quality was not good and I requested refunds via Grubhub. That happened two times. I decided to give them another shot today and they called and threatened to not take my business if I put through another refund request. I find thiS RIDICULOUS and insulting and told them I no longer want their business. Canceled the order If you are concerned that a customer is taking advantage over the grub hub refund request Ask them what’s wrong Don’t threaten them. I didn’t want to leave a bad review on google because I don’t like messing with people’s business but they literally told me we never have had complaints before. So here is your complaint Maybe you’ll listen to your customers...
