Hanaoka Restaurant

Ownership changed along with quality of food and menu items. The name even changed slightly. I am mortified. The quality and even shape of the rolls has fallen tremendously. The fish is lower grade as is the rice. Several menu items are gone. Staff is all changed as well. I work 5 blocks away and was almost daily eater. I won't even go back now. Also name has slightly changed. I think it's hanachibi now.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE BEST JAPANESE FOOD IVE EVER HAD, I COULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ANYMORE IF YOU EVER HAVE THE CHANCE TO COME PLEASE DO. do be prepared to wait since it’s so packed, but the servers to the food is something that could not be faked or replicated

This is the best food I’ve ever eaten and I am an extremely picky eater. The servers are so nice and genuine, and it felt very welcoming and felt very comforting. It was just over all a very good experience

Generous portions at a great price. Tasty food, Miso soup was delicious. Preface I never eat miso soup because I don't like it. But I like theirs. My teriyaki was tasty but cold. The lunch special is a great deal served with smiles and genuine appreciation.

I've attached the most recent menu they've posted in their restaurant - (wasn't able to get their lunch menu). I could not find a descriptive menu ANYWHERE in the past 2 yrs!!! I had to drive there to order when I would've called ahead.
I ordered two rolls of the Golden Munch (wish they had prices for the rolls like they had for everything else 🫤), since one roll of sushi anywhere - never seems to satisfy me.... Well this 1 roll did! I was so surprised and happy to have the second roll for my next meal!
I would've gave them 5 stars had they not overcharged me -- but to their defense, they looked up my receipt, got back to me within the day, apologized and said they would credit me back.
All in all, I'll definitely be going back and respect them for their honesty.

My first time here. Went with my son and we tried the vegetarian rolls, assorted nigiri, spicy tuna, and the rainviw roll, with a cold glass of Sapporo draft beer. We very much enjoyed each and all tasted very fresh and authentic. We highly recommend this gem nestled near the Chula Vista/National City city limits. I look forward to trying other rolls and assortments soon.

Looks and food smells good, wasnt able to eat here though. Restaurant was full when we came, we asked for a table for 2, but waitress said the only available table was for 4 and that they are utilizing the space. So we left.

Good food,clean and fast service. 4 stars because they charged us a service fee..!
