“The owner’s fun character The art of the owner’s sushi and quality Sushi rice is the best“

“By far our favorite - couldn’t recommend it more highly! Tou and Jason are wonderful hosts and we have never had an experience that was less than amazing the green lip muscles and Chirisi (sp?) bowl are favorites. Highly recommend!“

“What a great surprise to find this restaurant! Absolutely happy with food and friendly and hospitable atmosphere.Special thanks to Maria and Fellip for a great and friendly service- we felt like we are at home away from home.Their kindness definitely make us come back. P.S.And also in a lunch time restaurant provides”All what you can eat”option with a great choice.You would not be disappointed!“

“Our first time dining at this place though we have wanted to go for a while after someone posted about it after they opened. Finally made it and glad we made reservations as it was packed since it was peak time Friday evening. Spoke with Koji-san, the owner, while we were waiting for our table and he also stopped by each table to check on them which we thought was great. We had the takoyaki, kaisen-mix okonomiyaki and the spicy miso ramen. All came within a reasonable amount of time and were delicious! Koji-san explained the background of offering takoyaki, which was so interesting and great for him to share. We will definitely be back to try the other menu items, esp their sushi, which looked delicious! Great to see a business busy and doing well!“

“The Omakase experience is a must. Incredible, seriously leaves you speechless. Book a week in advance, they import special cuts special for you and they put a lot of planning into your experience. 8 pieces was filling, but 10 would be my suggestion simply because it was so darn good. Chef and staff are kind and genuinely care about the experience you have while there.“

“Came here after a show I had near by. All I can say is holy cow! This place is amazing.

I am quite particular about most things but literally everything we had was a cut above the rest. The gyoza was plump, juicy and crisp. The ahi tuna salad was refreshing, light and the dressing was phenomenal. Though the gyudon was a bit too fatty for me personally, the flavor was amazing. And I dont even usually eat pork but the katusdon was amazing. The egg in it was flavorful and creamy when mixed into the rice. Ugh. Amazing.

I also dont usually like thai tea but this place had the best thai tea I have ever tried. I had to order one for myself.

Zoey was super friendly and kind. We felt really welcomed and never waited long for anything. Ryan, the one that cooked the food, should never be let go, haha. It was honestly some of the absolute best food I have had in a really long time.

And I do not say that lightly.

The only thing I have to complain about this place is that its so far from my home I can't eat here weekly.

15/10 do recommend.“

“Wonderful as usual. Dragon roll is fabulous. The chefs special was sooo good tonight. Thank you for a great evening.“

“Even though the sushi bar is turned into a daycare (which I would normally rail), this might be the BEST sushi rice I've had. The Ikura was excellent, and all Nigiri sooooo fresh. If they re-did the shop front, they could really turn it up.“

“Sushi Hana is excellent, they always have really good food and great service. Their fried rice and sushi is so good“

“Incredible sushi, wonderful service, lovely atmosphere :)“

“We hadn't been to Hana in awhile. Everything was fresh and delicious. The yellow tail carpacio with truffle was as excellent as we remembered. The spicy tuna roll, shrimp tempura roll, and every other roll we had were as good as any we've had, for literally half the price as the best boulder sushi spots.
Service was great. Booth atmosphere is nice. We will return soon!“

“This is one of our favorite restaurants in Boulder! We’ve eaten there many times, including last night, where we had a very lovely time, laughed with the staff and other customers at the sushi bar, drank great sake, I had my favorite salad in Boulder the seaweed salad called katsui (sp?). Buy the staff a round! It’s so much fun. 🤩“

“delicious and wonderful service“

“Love this place, been a fan of the Loveland location for a long time. Longmont location doesn’t disappoint. Fairly priced and absolutely delicious, good selection of Sake. Highly recommend the Kobe Beef Buns and the Spicy Tonkotsu ramen!“

“Tried the tan tan ramen (with added black mushroom oil), kare ramen, addictive cabbage salad, and the mochi ice cream. Tan tan was delicious, creamy and strong yuzu taste. The kare could have had some creaminess to it. The broth was spicy curry but very thin. The cabbage salad really was addictive!“

“The staff’s presence is definitely known — they checked on me quite a bit while I was there, which I appreciated. I went during lunch, so pricing was a little cheaper at around $27 out the door with just water. They mentioned dinner is about $10 more and includes a few additional options like sashimi, which isn’t offered at lunch.

They also made it very clear that they charge for leftovers, so definitely order carefully at first. When the food came out, everything looked very nice and presentable. One thing I noticed is that the nigiri portions are HUGE compared to most sushi places I’ve been to. The shrimp tempura and veggie portions were also very generous.

Overall, everything I tried had good flavor, and the portions are definitely worth noting. I’d personally give it about a 6.5/10 overall.

“Best sushi in town! Mona is such a sweetheart!😍💓“

“always excellent foods. 👍“

“This place does so much with very little. The minimal staff is always attentive. The interior is quaint and clean. The photos and decor inspire a feeling of travel and wonder. The food is magnificent and so reasonably priced it feel like the best kept secret in Boulder.“

“Good food, good service, nice ambience.“

“Outstanding experience! Food was exceptionally fresh and flavorful. Enjoyed the atmosphere and sushi chef. Strongly recommend!“

“Very clean and it was delicious. I had the Mochiko Chicken“

“The staff was great!! The food was just OK.“

“Get there early- this place fills up quick!“

“Brayden gave exceptional customer service! I think one of the best customer service I’ve had. Which is kinda hard to find nowadays. As I was eating with my family, I’ve noticed he was walking around cleaning up. The place is very clean and the food tastes amazing. I ordered the orange chicken.“

“Jesline Virginia should go back to Korea House when she has time to eat the wonderful food. It makes me homesick for the country where our four children were born. Dorothy Ogle“
