My partner and I fully enjoyed the drinks here. We both got a flight of sake. We also had the ramen snacks, the brussel sprouts, and the sausage. My partner finished the night off with an Old Fashioned.

We loved everything about this place. I have a sulfate allergy, so enjoy drinks besides beer and hard liquor is hard to do. So I have been exploring different sakes.

This place was very good. It is really small, so its not good for large groups. I'd say the biggest table could have 4 people. So this is a great place for a date.

Amazing food. If you like to try something outside the ordinary into the extraordinary you should definitely try Hannyatou. Completely new Japanese dishes that I have never tried before Low key atmosphere and great sake selections.

The place was literally empty and they wouldn’t take us in because we didn’t have a reservation. Horrible attitude.

Great ambience, sake, bartenders / chefs, and guests!
Will definitely be back to get a bottle of sake so we can put the bottle cap in the bar wall :)

$16 for an overcooked fried sandwich? Also, employees don’t know anything about sake. So sad; we used to really love this place when the girl tattoo (her name was Kelsea? Chelsea?) actually talked about sake with us.

The food we ordered was lukewarm or gross and incredibly overpriced.
The chicken liver mousse was a mistake on both parties.

Additionally, there was a 20% service charge which I didn't notice until revisiting the bill. This charge was not made clear by the service unfortunately. Had I known, I would have not tipped at all.

It seems that the staff may need to both provide food and serve the tables which caused both to suffer. Likely due to a lack of staffing if I had to venture a guess.

The sake came out hot, and the ambience is reminiscent of a tight Tokyo ramen shop. These were the sole redeeming qualities. Of the two times we have visited in the last 2 years (both disappointing). This was likely the last time we'd go to Hannyatou. Which is a shame as I hold Kamonegi (the sister restaurant) in really high esteem.

Alisha & Kelsey are so knowledgeable about everything on the menu and so attentive and kind!! The sake & shochu selection here is amazing, and I love their vegan bar bites!! The service is exceptional, and their nihonshu selection is so amazing and unique ♡ Would give Hannyatou more than 5 stars if I could!
