Hanaya Sushi

this sushi place is hidden gem! the owner is a old man who is so welcoming and always smiling. He makes everyone feel at ease. I ordered chirashi bowl, and let me tell you that was one of the best I ever had! so fresh and so much in quantity! also the kind man gave chocolates, apple, water with it.. Will definitely visit again! ( the door might seem closed, they have a shade or something, but they are open! )

Amazing restaurant! Stopped in for lunch and was pleasantly surprised by how kind the owner was. Very intimate restaurant with great, fast service! The owner and chef was very attentive to our needs, and the sushi and appetizers were delicious. We even got a goodie bag of candies on our way out. I will definitely be back and would recommend this place to anyone.

Small tucked away Sushi restaurant with beautiful plates prepared for an experience not just a meal! I ordered the Chirashi and some nigiri, all of which was fresh in an artful display worth eating and appreciate! Look forward to visiting again and again!

I stopped in for a quiet dinner and had the best time. The restaurant is small and intimate. The chirashi that I ordered was one of the best meals I’ve had — super fair pricing for high quality sushi. The owner and chef, Hee, is welcoming, funny, and extremely generous about sharing his knowledge. I’ll be coming back.

Hands down, this is a hidden gem! The quality of the sushi was top-notch, presentation was excellent, and the portions very generous. It appears to be a one-man operation, so I would presume that things might take a bit of time when it's very busy there. We were the first people in at 5:00 p.m. for dinner. Check out the reviews, everyone is very happy with their experience and food. I now know why after paying them a visit. I will definitely go back every time I'm in San Diego.

I had the pleasure of finding this gem while getting lunch near my office. I was immediately greeted by the owner, who was incredibly kind and hospitable. He offered me a bottled water while I waited for my food (which wasn't a long wait at all), and he was very willing to accommodate my dietary preferences. When I opened my box, I couldn't believe all of the extra goodies I got: not only did I have my large veggie roll, but also an apple, seaweed salad, 4 different types of Japanese candy, and more. It was like a whole bento!

We had a great conversation, and I instantly knew I'd be coming back regularly for when I'm craving a good veggie roll. Highly recommend checking out this underrated gem!!
