Ordered the Tonkotsu Ramen in black garlic broth, and the hamachi kama. Broth and noodles were very bland, almost unpleasantly so. There was no flavor except a hint of garlic in the background. However, the tonkotsu pork was delicious and flavorful. Hamachi kama was cooked perfectly, and was very good. Overall, I’ll chalk it up to ordering the wrong type of ramen, as the other reviews seem to enjoy the other ramens.

They have the best, must delicious Japanese food. The service is good. There is often only one wait person but service is always good!

My friend and I came for lunch, and we had a lovely afternoon. I got a poke bowl that was fresh, filling, and flavorful. My friend had a gorgeous sushi roll and miso soup. I ordered the house sale hot, and she got hot tea. The service was prompt and friendly without being overbearing. The overall vibe was popping over to a friend’s house and they just happen to have banging Japanese food. It was also a great value. I plan to come here again for sure.

Wonderful service!
The Ambiance is inviting, bright and relaxing.

Food - Excellent!
When I eat here I order my favorite ramem with black garlic and tonkatsu pork. .

The pork was carefully prepared in a succulent very tender melt in your mouth experience.
Eat without any interruption of technology if you can. Savor the flavor. 🙂 Enjoy the moment.
I'm writing this review after my enjoyable lunch!

Hanami is a small family-owned business with great service and a warm atmosphere. There’s street parking available, and we were seated right away. The food was delicious and unique. Their menu offers items you don’t usually find at other sushi or Japanese restaurants.

The sashimi was incredibly fresh, and I tried escolar sashimi for the first time and definitely coming back for more!

We also ordered the mango cheesecake and almost forgot about it until it arrived. It turned out to be one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had, with little chunks of mango inside. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their desserts.

This is a cute little place in a quiet neighborhood. Food was decent. Teriyaki chicken was a bit salty. Egg in the ramen was a bit overcooked. The udon has such a great texture!! It was very good! And the hamachi kama was perfectly grilled.

Cute little Japanese spot with super fresh fish! We got the sashimi combo D and the salmon Teishoku combo—both were really tasty, nicely presented, and super filling. No lunch specials, but honestly the portions and quality make the prices feel fair. Service was awesome too (they even gave us extra fish!). Definitely a place I’d come back to.

(Note, they ran out of hamachi so just went with Salmon, which is always a tasty fish. Probably would also like to come back to try a design-your-own poke bowl!)

In a nutshell; such a cozy place to dine in , with good Japanese food.

Parking is a bit tough since there really isn't a dedicated parking spot but once you're pass that, this place gives you a really cozy atmosphere as you are sat. The server's very well mannered and accommodating. The menu has a good variety of choices and wasn't too long on the wait either. The food is great and prepared really well and presented nicely. Overall very pleasant experience and a place you should try if you dont mind kind of walking a bit off where you park if you can't find a parking nearby.

As soon as you walk in you notice the cute interior. I love the aesthetic of the tables and vibe feels similar to mom and pop places I've been to in Japan except the lighting is nicer here.

Pretty orderly service, s/o to the one person waitress running the counter and tables and one person in the kitchen.

Foodwise, place smacks. Been here 2 times in the last 2 years. The quality of dishes I got are on par with overseas both times. Got the kaarage uson set and tofu soba. Mild flavors, but I love that nothing is over-seasoned it's just right imo.
