Zero customer service. You have to order from a kiosk and there's no other menu in the store.The beef is sinuous and pale, the "veggies" are just boiled cabbage. Also the kiosk asked me which toppings I want and the food arrived with nothing, when I asked I was told to do it myself at the topping bar.The kitchen is deliberately hidden away with obscured glass partitions, and I just heard the staff laughing and chatting while I'm putting my own toppings on.The idea has potential and would probably work very well as a Chipotle-style, build-your-own setup with more customer interface.

I arrived from a trip and it was one of the few restaurants open in the city. I ordered a Chicken Bowl without any changes and extra Green onions and extra Teriyaki sauce to goThey only gave me chicken rice and I only saw it when I arrived at my hotel.Avoid if in Santa Barbara!Clean environment!

Food is okay for price point. I would go if you're able to speak Spanish. I used to go about twice a week, the portion sizes kept getting smaller and smaller. It became almost all rice and little meat and

This was not very good. We got chicken and veggies bowls.. the chicken was the best part of it. But it was just teriyaki chicken. Nothing too exciting. They forgot the added ginger I ordered. The veggies are mainly cabbage and a tiny bit of broccoli. Idk about the tacos, we didn't get any, but I definitely wouldn't go back to find out. On positive the food was ready quickly and the staff was friendly

This place is great if you are in college, on a budget and don't have big concerns with things like flavor profiles. I've been here once and that was about enough for me. They use white rice, and the most basic and cheap vegetables. I tried to eat healthy, and this was not achieved. Look for a place which uses better ingredients if you are more health oriented.

It was really good. The atmosphere is really dope. You can hang out on the street and ppl watch.
Probably the best deal on State street! The mini chicken bowl was by far enough for a meal. Can't even imagine what the bigger sizes are like. Probably a lot like the mini, but bigger!

Medium Chicken bowl was very good!Also, try mango taco ?
I agree with the other reviewers that the service isn’t the best. However, you don’t come here for the service, you come here because it is a simple menu and flavor consistency. Spicy Mayo is best I have ever had ever! I’ve been coming to the IV and SB one for 7yrs, tried everything on menu, from accidentally ordering vegan chicken thinking they changed the chicken and loving it to the random boba flavors they come out with. It used to be a bang for your buck, but hey, it’s still too good to not get! Must be a 5 star review considering it’s a balanced meal and simple! Love Hana Kitchen.

The food looked really tasty and portion sizes were large! Even the mini bowl was a generous amount of food!Dietary restrictions: There are no gluten-free options. GF options were asked about, but when the food arrived, it was unfortunately not GF.
