Look no further for this hidden gem in El Segundo. This is some of the best sushi I have had in CA!
happy b.
Good food and generous portions. Staff is nice and dining area is cozy and clean. We ordered the classic teriyaki beef and chicken. Chicken is made with white breast.

In town for Candy Cane Lane opening night. My mom has raved about this place for years- working in El Segundo means knowing all the little haunts. Arrived just after restaurant opening hour, we are second seated table. Place was empty. Sushi bar chefs were still setting up and there were stacked fish on top of the glass case salmon, yellow table, etc stacked 4 high. Drinks ordered and came quickly. Ordered a few rolls, my husband ordered the combo teriyaki and cal roll comes with huge salad bowl of rice and miso soup. We order edamame and tempura as app. Edamame comes warm, over salted ( but I like it that way) and overall ok. Tempura comes -it's typical and fine.then the night went sideways. The tables are starting to fill up, one young blonde and a slightly older brunette are working the tables. I need more napkins as we had a green tea bag get messy, and can't see either server, I walk over to the sushi chef and ask- man, was he put out and made a big huff and puff about interrupting him. The young woman brought them to the table. Followed by my husband's meal. No sushi rolls. We watch as every table that came after us was served. My husband ate his meal.all apps were done, tea was refilled twice, the older brunette asked if she could get our check, and thought we were done. I said with some tone in my voice- we haven't been served yet. We had been there 40 minutes, people who came in 20 minutes ago were done and asking for their check. I asked my husband if he was supposed to get miso soup- yes but it never came. We see three more orders go by and I call over the older brunette- we would like our bill. There may be a communication issue. Because we next get the miso soup. I ask for the check again because now we are getting close to when we want to be at the candy cane lane line up. I am polite but clearly irritated. Lo and behold my husband's California roll arrives for his combo. I ask for a box and a bill, but to take off the rolls we ordered. Next to arrive is not the box, or the bill, but the rolls. I say, no thank you, and stand up get our check. And a box. They clear the sushi from the table including the California roll from the combo. As I am standing there waiting for the bill and the box. The sushi chef gets loud and says "there was this large take out order... and we got busy, and things." I cut him off with "no! We were the second table tonight, all these other tables were seated well after our order was in.He said "well we were busy tonight." I said "that isn't my problem." He screams " you are right it isn't. So I will take the rolls off the bill! And you can go! The older brunette comes by whispered I'm sorry I put your order under the others. How she is taking responsibility when I only saw her cleaning our table, was weird to me. I paid cash-$58 for 2 hot green teas, an ice tea, a tery/cal roll combo dinner (no miso until after it is clear we are leaving), edamame and veg tempura. Tipped the blonde who took our order 10%, and packed up the combo - husband went to go walk the dog. The blonde was kind enough to pack up the cal roll. And brought it over, as the chef is literally screaming "put it all in the trash!" No, "I'm sorry", no goodwill gesture of packing up the sushi to go. After seeing the unhygienic handling of the fish maybe they did us a favor.. They probably were just having an off night. We wont be back. I rarely give less than 3, food we ate earned 3, service 2, ambiance2. There are better places. Go to elsewhere

We celebrated our 36th anniversary here with the kids. We’ve been taking our family to Hana Haru since the kids were little. My elder daughter and I both had chirashi bowls.

Every time I come to El Segundo, this is the place to go. The food quality and prompt attention and service is outstanding. I always sit at the sushi bar and talk with Johnathan, whose knowledge of all things fish is extensive and entertaining. They have a good selection of Sake to accompany their extensive menu. I'm always hopefully they will be stocking my favorite...uni, always fresh, aways mouth wateringly delicious.
Awesome place with great sushi. You will not disappointed when coming here. Service is excellent and the miso soup and shrimp tempura is great to.I got #2 #20 #18 & #23 from their House Special Rolls! Amaaazing!

I was very disappointed our rolls were falling apart and nothing looked like it was advertised. I had the chicken terriaki and tempura dinner tasted and looked more like dry turkey with sauce poured over it. The worse part was I stepped out while my family finished eating the overpriced rolls that falling apart b4 you even touched them, I watched the sushi chef walk in after smoking a cigarette put on his apron and start preparing more rolls. Now I know why and will never eat here again. Very sad because it was our last dinner before we sent our daughter on her flight home.

Food is delicious but the service sucks. I went to dinner with my mom yesterday for Mother’s Day and I ordered 2 crunch rolls for each of us and a California roll for us to share which I told the server and I saw a roll sitting at the bar for almost 15 minutes and I knew it was our California roll but the server didn’t bring it to us. Even though I told her we were sharing it. It took almost an hour for us to get any food. The waitress could have at least brought us the California Roll (that I said we were sharing) while we waited for the 2 crunch rolls. The server then told us they were short staff which isn’t an excuse. It’s Mother’s Day. If you’re short staff, don’t be open. Don’t use it as an excuse. I’m trying to enjoy a Mother’s Day dinner with my mom.
