Impressive array of the best ingredients unavailable in most Japanese restaurants in the US prepared in different styles
A delight to the senses. The presentation of each dish accentuates the delicate and sometimes bold flavors, textures and scents that make you heady and ready for more.

Hana re offers a memorable dining experience focused on omakase cuisine in an intimate and elegant setting. The restaurant features a simple yet stylish interior with a calm, zen ambiance, peaceful music, and moody lighting, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Its location is a bit hidden and tricky to find, but once inside, guests are greeted with a quiet, cozy space that accommodates up to 10 people, including an 8-person bar and a private table.
The chef's omakase menu typically includes around 10 courses, with some reviews mentioning 11 or 12 courses. Dishes are prepared with high-quality, fresh ingredients, and highlights include hairy crab, chawanmushi, raw lobster, wagyu, various cuts of sushi, uni/toro handroll, and panna cotta. Many reviewers praise the flavors, noting that all dishes are well executed and delicious from start to finish. The wagyu and Hokkaido uni are particularly memorable, and the staff is attentive, providing thorough explanations and accommodating any allergies or preferences.
Service is generally described as exceptional, with a friendly and approachable chef and attentive staff, though some find the service pace to be a little quick, especially on quieter nights. The atmosphere can get slightly loud due to neighboring conversations, but overall, the experience remains excellent. While the price is considered steep at around $250 per person, many agree the quality, freshness, and overall experience justify the cost. Hana re is highly recommended for those seeking a refined, intimate, and delicious omakase dinner that they will remember.
