Exceptional quality of food. Everything tasted very fresh, which is huge for me when consuming raw fish/sushi. Everything was executed very well. The “Hana sake” is incredible and highly recommend the lychee as well as the Hana and punk rock rolls. The hamachi sashimi was also a delight! And don’t let me forget the tira misu dessert, aptly name “dream” on the menu…absolutely ethereal and still thinking about it. Definitely try this place out especially if you’re going to the Wilma for a show as it’s right below it (really cool sushi bar vibe) you won’t be disappointed.
I want to start by saying the food here was fantastic. The service was not. Everything started out good, drink and food order were promptly taken, drinks delivered, no issues. When we got our drink a table was sat right next to us. That table had ordered the same amount of food, received, ate, chatted and paid all before we received anything. Tried to pass it off busy cooks. It took almost an hour for us to receive our order and our server didn’t check on us one single time. One of our rolls was made incorrectly so we point that out to server who took the roll back to have it come out still not correct. We deal, but still point it out to the server, she responded with an attitude asking “well what do you want me to do about that” which shocked me since I myself work in the industry and that kind of response to a guest is not okay. After that interaction we reluctantly ordered two more rolls which we again waited an hour and hadn’t seen out since we placed the order. At that point we decided to ask someone else to cancel our order and bring us our check. As I said the food we did receive was fantastic but our server Hannah was very unprofessional.
We were able to speak to a manager who was very nice and very apologetic, he quickly rectified the situation and definitely helped improve our overall experience.
Overall bad experience with the server but an amazing experience with everything else!

Huge fan of Sushi Hana ever since they opened their doors on North Higgins in 1998. Really good and fresh sushi. Now that they have recently moved to the former Scottys table location in the Wilma bldg, they have not only upgraded their space, but their menu too. Our server Hannah was amazing! Very sweet and personable and knowledgeable and steered us in the proper direction to enjoy an amazing meal. The sushi place to visit in Zootown!

The sushi is 10/10 and so many rolls to choose from!

The server was inattentive, slow, and didn’t know about their sake selections, didn’t clear plates off table when we were done with them, didn’t refill long-empty water glasses. The appetizers (garlic edamame and gyoza) were good. But when the sushi rolls arrived at long last, we were disappointed and kind of grossed out. Thick tuna slabs fell off the rainbow roll, the crab in the California roll tasted not fresh, and my yellowtail was inedible. I insisted my friends take home the leftovers, and they did, but I think they’ll go right in their garbage.

Ordered a variety nigiri and a couple of rolls in addition to tempura vegetables. IMO the fish did not taste ‘fresh’ as others have stated. But fish doesn’t have to be fresh to create good sushi. I’ve had aged fish in sushi that was absolutely wonderful. Unfortunately, this fish tasted like it had been sitting in fridge for a while at best, with a tough texture and unpleasant flavor. It’s just not the quality I was expecting or hoped for when we visited Hana. The sea bream was probably the worst offender. It had the texture of sand paper; I found it inedible. The rolls similarly failed to deliver. The tempura was mostly okay but the lotus root was hard as rock. The service was okay. Our server disappeared for a while. We were really excited to try Hana but ended up very disappointed.
Unrelated to this specific dining experience, I was very put off by a picture posted on the Hana instagram that shows a woman (the owner?) with her feet on the counter next to the fish and nearby the sushi bar where people eat. Personally, I think that’s gross to do, let alone advertise on your social media. Needless to say, I unfollowed after that. Maybe one day Missoula will get a restaurant that takes the craft of creating sushi more seriously.

I was skeptical at first but I was pleasantly surprised. The fish was very fresh. The quality of the fish was at least comparable to that of the ones I have had in Japan. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. 10/10 would recommend.

I miss the old location. Hours were better, food was better, prices were better, service was better. This was really a let down.

The food was excellent as always. There have been some changes to the menu but o didn’t feel I was missing anything. Molly, the server, was absolutely stellar. However, it is incredibly loud in there. They could turn down the music or do without it. With the high tin ceilings the whole place is an echo chamber. And we would love to see some extended hours.

We got a mix of the spicy and garlic edamame to start. My husband said it was some of the best edamame he’s ever had. The rolls were fantastic!! Everything tasted fresh and bright. We paired our rolls with the Uni white wine which complimented it nicely. We couldn’t decide which dessert we wanted because they all sounded amazing so we ordered two different kinds. Michelin star worthy!! Can’t wait to come back and try out more of the menu!

Their menus have hiked in prices. Be careful if you expect the old menu. Their sushi rolls have raised at least $8-10 each. The most expensive roll is $29. I am just sad because everything is just so much more expensive and I can't come here anymore with my friends because of this. Just be prepared.

The speaker issue was fixed last time I went so I am updating my review. The new location is great the sushi quality is greatly improved. Everything from the rolls to the scalaps to the dessert was incredible. Best sushi in town for sure

Came here for the first time last night and once more tonight. The nigiri is good so far, quality flavor and size, but missing Nikiri. I appreciate the Shiso leaf and garnish. Last night I had sake, hamachi and akami which were all fabulous! Had some gyoza which were great! I’d like to try more kitchen items. The service was fast last night and very slow tonight, it took 20 minutes to get our drinks and over an hour to get our pickled veggies and roll. Our very nice server forgot some minor things such as straw and extra glass. The saba was good today. There is ALOT of rice in the rolls, too much for me but seems consistent. I will be back for more nigiri! I’m happy to see some items from sushi Hana still on the menu. Will always be a Stan! I love their classic Japanese staples you can’t get anywhere else in Montana. Look forward to their growth. Good atmosphere, go here in good company and enjoy yourself. <3
