Hana Sushi — Restaurant in Town of Red Hook

As a former New Yorker I had never had eaten sushi and or sashimi in a restaurant located in a strip mall. Eighteen years ago there were limited options for Japanese restaurants in Dutchess County, so I decided to give Hana a try and I'm thrilled I did. I was so surprisingly impressed by the intimate dining space, the high quality of the delicious food and the overall experience.

The master sushi chef and owner consistently buys the freshest fish. His preparation of the sushi and sashimi is always delicious and presented beautifully. I also would highly recommend their Hijiki (a black seaweed salad), which is made by the Chef and is a stable of all high quality and authentic Japanese restaurants.

I truly adore the wait staff!!! They as always very professional, organized, friendly, sweet and service oriented. As a a result I've been a loyal customer ever since 2002!!!!.With Gratitude To Hana...

I have been wanting to come here for years now as there are very few of the more traditional sushi restaurants in the area. It was well worth the wait and is our new favorite!

The gyoza are clearly in-house made and tasted just like I make at home! Wonderful flavor, dipping sauce not required.

We ordered both the shrimp and the vegetable tempura dishes, and neither disappointed. Generous portions and transported me right back to eating tempura in Kyoto, Japan.

All of the sushi rolls we ordered were delicious. If you're looking for an actually spicy sushi roll, the dynamite roll is delicious and packs a punch with its tograshi seasoning. If you're looking for something more unique and wonderfully refreshing, try the ume shiso roll!

The mochi was delicious and I was so happy to see koriyama on the dessert menu!...

Hana sushi is the only shop I would go for sushi in the Hudson Valley. Not only the owner/sushi chef is real Japanese, the neta (fish) is very fresh and come with the authentic assortment. American style -maki is fine, but that's not sushi for us. Nigiri and a few hosomaki, or chirashi-zushi are the sushi for Japanese people. Yes, we enjoy occasional home-style fotomaki or gomoku-zushi, but when we feel like to go out for sushi, we would think about sitting in the counter & ordering our favorite nigiri.

I prefer su-meshi more sour a little bit, because I'm originated in Kanto (Tokyo-metropolitan) area. But I could fully enjoy the entire Hana sushi dining experience. It's just like going to my favorite sushi shop in Japan. It's real. We would really appreciate their hard work to serve genuine sushi in...
