“I've eaten here soooo many times I can't believe I've never written a review... even though, I've always recommended this place to people looking to Japanese Dining.Place is small but cozy... can get pretty packed and experience can get dampened by other loud and possibly obnoxious diners but that's often beyond the control of the restaurant.Street parking can be difficult as it's on a busy corner...Food excellent, service excellent... there's really nothing more I can say. The prices have been competitive even when seemingly everything else in the world has gotten more expensive.When the tea is good you know the place will be great....“

“We stopped here on our way back from a nearby ski resort. To be honest, the exterior looked old/run down and almost turned us away. However, we were pleasantly surprised how good the service was as well as the food. We'll definitely stop by again in the near future. I highly recommend if you're in the area.“

“Authentic! Sushi made by SushiMakio's chef with no doubts are the very best sushi i have had in the past 10 years. I was mesmerized by the famous chef , doing his art right there on the other side of the counter. I actually felt like I'm reliving "Kill Bill 2" scene when she had sushi in Japan. What else to say, we are very fortunate to have this level of expertise in town. Parking is hard to find , come early and plan ahead ! Thank you chef !For those people writing reviews here disappointed with portion vs price ratio : this is a place of food art not a fast food. If you need to stuff your bellies on a budget, your best bet is buffet or hot case in grocery store. Chef skills, selection of produce and all together decent way fo running thr place went into pricing .“

“I love this place, the food and atmosphere is amazingly awesome, so calm and beautiful. I love the artwork in the bathrooms, I think the wall of locks ? is very unique and fun! The noodle bowls are so yummy! I just wish they would add more noodles because the portions compared to liquid/meat seem off, I always buy an extra side of noodles because of this. Nonetheless, it's a great place worth the stop!Parking: Park directly right next to yum yum in front of the closed bank, there's two openings with gates“

“All of the staff went above and beyond, especially the woman who seated us and our wonderful hibachi chef! They handled a busy and short-staffed night very well, were very accommodating with an order mix-up, and everything was delicious! ❤️Vegetarian options: Veggie hibachi option, multiple veggie sushi rolls“

“We had dinner the other evening. The atmosphere was great. Our waitress Ella was lovely. The food was great tasting and the plating was wonderful. The yuzu tart was a very good ending to our dinner.“

“The Tasting Room is a unique experience where one eats in the home of a renownedchef offering three delicious appetizers, three main meals and three desserts, all fresh ( the advantage of limiting meal choice) and from locally grown farms. Imagine your brother or uncle is a Michelin level gourmand has you over for dinner You chat with him while he is cooking, smell the aromas emanating from the kitchen and then delight in an amazing meal We shared two salads, beet and endive with blue cheese, chicken ( maybe the best i ever ate) and a healthy sized filet mignon, and then decided we could not pick among the 3 desserts so enjoyed them all This is a place you will want to go back to over and over I was jealous of the waiter who got to eat there nightly 5 stars“

“Everything!! The monk bowl, veggie Gyoza, tofu steaks and the chef!!“

“I’ve heard for many years this place was good and my sister and I just had the opportunity to try it. It’s authentic and most importantly fresh. The Japanese owners are very nice.I’m particularly critical of Asian food as it is something I grew up with. As a Japanese American I have to say this is the best sushi place I’ve been to upstate. I’ve tried a few places in the area and hands down Hana Sushi is the best. Can’t wait to take my Japanese father here!“

“Wonderful sushi, the best I've had to date in the Hudson valley. Small, comfortable location. Decent amount of parking considering how busy Rhinebeck gets. Have to have a little patience in our hurried world as good food is worth waiting for. Will definitely returnParking: Off street parking lot with enough space for this location and the others that share the parking lot.“
