Used to eat here all the time back when it was open for lunch. Always loved the food, still crave it even though I'm too far to visit it now.

I can't say enough positive remarks about Hana after taking my husband here for his birthday. Having never been, the staff was thoughtful in guiding us through sake and food suggestions.
We went on a Tuesday night and perhaps a much slower evening but the level of attention we received from Lynn (owner/chef) was unparalleled. We learned about sake, ordered specials and had an amazing evening of conversation. It is clear this locally owned restaurant takes quality seriously, with meticulous plating and tons of fresh seafood items. The focus is certainly more on sushi/ raw fish items but there are noodles, tempura and entrees as well. We will certainly be back!

The food was beyond what we expected. Lived in the neighborhood forever, when we were blessed to have our plans changed to go here. Best thing to ever happen. The workers are sweet and accommodating. The atmosphere is fresh and quiet & the food just melts in your mouth 😍 definitely have to order the oyster shooters as it brightens your pallet … the only complaint I had is every place I’ve been to the tamago is light and sweet as here there was no sweetness just straight egg but didn’t change my review at all the rest of the food will have you coming back!!💕 ( would love to add photos but for some reason won’t load)

Everything about the experience was amazing. From the service, where everyone helps out, to the food, which had an amazing fuji apple cream puff pie dessert. I loved spending my dinner here with my wife. It was perfect.

I've been going to Hana since the day it opened, and I don't know why it took so long to write a review. It never ceases to amaze me that one of the best sushi experiences in the nation (and I've dined at some of the best rated sushi and omakase experiences in the US) is in Phoenix, Arizona, at such an unassuming place.

But the quality of the fish is what stands out, and the variety, as well. You're going to see menu items here that you don't routinely experience at other locations, in Phoenix or elsewhere. The fish isn't cut by just anyone- watching the chefs at Hana cut fish is watching art be made by caring people. The amounts are generous, and each piece of fish is treated like a valuable gem. It speaks volumes that they don't allow any 3rd party delivery services because they can't ensure quality. The fish case is always meticulously clean and organized. You can get real wasabi, and a carefully curated spirit. The restaurant is owned by a real Japanese family, not some fly by night corporation.

The restaurant has almost no turnover. The same servers have been there for years, same for the kitchen. Its mostly family, and they treat you like family. This isn't your typical high end, dark, decorated space. It's homey and comfortable, and you'll be treated respectfully. No trip to Arizona is complete without hitting Hana once a week. If this place ever goes out of business, I'll cry.

Our group dined at Hana last week, and unfortunately, all of us ended up getting sick. We experienced abdominal pain and diarrhea, which we believe was the result of food poisoning from the meal we were served.

When we reached out to the owner, she showed no empathy or concern. She claimed that no one else who ordered the same sushi rolls reported feeling sick that evening. Interestingly, our reservation was under a different name than the one used in the follow-up email, which suggests she didn’t take the time to properly investigate our complaint.

During the dinner, we also raised concerns about one of the sushi rolls falling apart. Both the server and the owner told us to eat it with a fork. Sushi should not fall apart, and it certainly shouldn’t have to be eaten with a fork.

I will never return. It’s been a week, and only two out of the three of us are finally starting to feel better.
