I sure hope these people stay in business. They made Mother's Day and 2 birthdays wonderful!! Hats off to them!!!♥️“

“Been here three times now and everytime it’s a 12/10 experience. It’s family owned, so the staff is so incredibly kind as well. They really care about their food and service, would recommend over everything else in the area and even compared to some of the nicest sushi spots I’ve eaten at.“

“We first heard about this place on social media. We were a little skeptical to try it, but decided to give it a chance. We shouldn't have waited! The all you can eat menu had many options to choose from. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We will definitely be back. The great service and clean environment were a plus too.“

“I brought my mom here for lunch yesterday. The waiter that served us had kind of a crappy attitude honestly. In some moments he was nice but my mom asked what comes on a bento box because she's unfamiliar and he told her "it's on the menu". She just wanted someone to explain it to her because she was confused by the sushi and the meat options. Obviously not an item she orders often. She asked what the meat is for (i think she thought you get sushi or meat she wasn't understanding it was a part of the box) and he looked at her like she was stupid and pretty flatly answered the question. It embarrassed her. My mom is a really kind hearted person so it was frustrating watching someone make her feel dumb for asking a question in an unfamiliar environment. Sad. The food itself was good. The waiter likely was having a bad day. I've been a server and understand. But wish he'd been kinder to my mom.“

“Get there early or make your reservation!!!!
I've gotten the privilege to live in Japan. Although one thing that haunts my soul is the yearning I have for the food that I left behind when returning home. This place filled my soul with a dinning experience that almost replicates the joys you find in a small little alley deep in the heart of Osaka, or Naha, or Tokyo.
It felt so authentic that when I closed my eyes for a moment I could believe I was back where I do desperately wanted to be.
This place doesn't just serve you food. It transports you back into the feeling of eating in Japan. Which is such a precious experience that is hard to recreate especially in America.
My waitress was wonderful the food left me in tears. I could go on and on about this place. But the bottom line is this place feeds you and your soul. I highly recommend.“

“Excellent food and very good service.“

“Special food all time , we will be back“

“We absolutely love our favorite sushi spot because of the amazing food and the super friendly staff!

“Oh my gosh, this place was absolutely amazing. I’m not from this area and have been looking for a new go to sushi place, and this is it. Our waitress was a star, she was on top of everything. Even after we had boxes and were paying the bill, she refilled my drink! Which never happens. We had a chicken katsu, mountain roll, Hawaiian roll, and a Dallas Stars roll and my god they were incredible. The presentation, the amount, THE TASTE. We also had enough left overs for another whole meal. ALL FOR UNDER $100! I will be back time and time again, could not recommend this place more.“

“A great sushi place: unpretentious, solid, and inexpensive. Don't go if you're looking for something fancy, but a nice meal at a decent price. I love the eel rolls. I had the chicken fried rice for the first time this week: pretty darn good, and lots to eat!“

“Excellent food. Had the garlic edamame, house salad and yellowtail love roll. Can’t wait to go back.“

“The best teriyaki in DFW area! Great taste and fresh food with a good portion size for the price. Even during the lunch hour, the service is quick and friendly. Highly recommend this place!“

“I love the food! Sean you have an awesome restaurant. A bit disappointed in the servers. Ive been here atleast 5 times now, the second time I came in to eat, only 1 table was seated, I requested a specific table and was told, “no, in case a bigger party comes in.” One didn’t.
My most recent issue is I called in an order for 4 sushi rolls. Order was repeated back to me and I was told to arrive in 20 minutes. I arrived and 3 server/hosts were giggling and watching tv. I was handed only ONE roll when checking out. I asked where the rest were and the server had to ring them in, while I waited 20 more minutes for the remainder of my food. I will certainly be back, but please review the training of the host girls. 💓“

“We have been here twice for different celebrations and are so happy with our experiences. Amazing sushi and wonderful service!!“

“very good! we loved it, and will be back“

“There's no other way to explain this place besides perfect. They are absolutely wonderful especially since it's literally only the two owners who work here! The food is super super fresh and they have absolutely wonderful food presentation.“

“Place was amazing. Service was amazing. Highly recommend this place. We celebrated our 28th Anniversary there tonight.“

“I tried Zena Sushi for the first time and was seriously impressed! I ordered the Omg, Las Vegas Roll and the Sashimi Bowl—all were absolutely delicious. The fish was incredibly fresh, and everything was beautifully prepared. The flavors were well-balanced, and the portions were generous. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even better. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Good staff and good food they cook the food in your face“

“🍥muy agradable el ambiente“

“The staff here is extremely friendly. The place was clean the food was decent. I have had better sushi, I ordered the daily bento, but their prices are very reasonable and with how friendly they are it is worth eating here. I came by myself for lunch.

I'm only passing through the area, but if I had the opportunity to come back I would definitely try other options on the menu as I think that might rate even higher.“

“Some deep fried sushi really hit the spot after work. i got their hurricane roll and tornado roll. Between those two, i have to say my favorite is the tornado roll. Both were delicious though. i look forward to returning soon.“

“They happily offered a nori substitute for my salmon sushi (delicious). The Shuman and beef takami were perfect. The clear soup is a palate cleanser (no flavor). The only disappointment was the fly that had me arm flailing throughout the meal.“

“I’ve experienced consistently great customer service from Manager Marco at Hanaya Sushi Restaurant. Every visit, he goes above and beyond to make sure guests feel welcome and taken care of. Marco’s professionalism, attention to detail, and friendly attitude truly set the standard for excellent hospitality. It’s clear he takes pride in both the food and the guest experience. Thank you, Marco, for always making each visit to Hanaya an enjoyable one!“

“This is a great little sushi place. We've ordered from several places in the local area and definitely like this one the best. We've eaten here 4 or 5 times and are never disappointed. We have tried the Crunch Salmon, Super Crunch, Tornado, Cowboy, California Roll, and Green Hulk just to name a few. All were very delicious.“

“We absolutely love Foster’s. The food is always delicious and the staff are great. They are very attentive and always smiling. We eat here at least once a week.“

“Yes, affordable but classy. Great food“
