Best Sushi Bar in Town!!!!

by Becky3

Hana Sushi in Brentwood is the most organized sushi bar I've been to and I've eaten sushi since I was five years old.The chefs are wonderfully courteous and all are excellent artists.Simply looking inside the sushi cases tells all to someone with the slightest integrity and knowledge of restaurant ingredients.The portions are extremely generous and the prices are fair.Fish is properly refrigerated, handled with care, covered professionally and unlike so many non Japanese sushi bars, the presentations are outrageously respectable. Hana Sushi has been around for over thirty five years and these are some of the reasons why. Professionalism is the key. For good music, fabulous sushi in a beautiful atmosphere and the opportunity to truly indulge, Hana Sushi cannot be beaten. Oh, yes. Recently, they have put in two firehouse poles. Fun,fun,fun!

Oishii! (great taste)

by noblin

i'm from Japan and I have tried other sushi rasutaunrants but Hana sushi is by far the best. I prefer sushi than rolls, I talked sushi chef what I like and he made me many assorted sushi and dishes. It was so delicious, my friend and I started to go at least once a week. I recomend sitting at the sushi bar when you visit.

• Pros: free parking

Great Sushi

by erieri

Hana Sushi has some of the best sushi I have ever had. The service is fantastic!!!! the servers are really nice and really attentive. It is also a lot of fun because there are a crazy amount of celebrities that come in.

• Pros: Great sushi, Great service, great place to hang out

No need to steal

by CrimeStopper

I always tip 20%. Always. Hana was no exception. The food was great and they deserved it. HOWEVER, there was no need for Hana to tack on an additional $10 to the receipt after I signed it but before sending it through my bank. Great food, but sloppy service, guys (assuming it wasn't intentional). There's no excuse for that when the numbers are right in front of you. If it wouldn't cost me $10 in gas just to get back over there and deal with it, I would, but I must settle for simply never going back.

• Pros: Great food
• Cons: poor follow through on service

Great sushi in a raging atmosphere!

by fooddood68

I visited Hana on the recommendation of a celebrity acquaintance, and boy was he right. If you want the food quality and cute waitresses of some of the "other" sushi places in town but don't want the circus, then Hana is for you. Strategically positioned next to two of the most popular bars in town (Q's and Cabo Cantina), Hana can't help but enjoy the vibe from next door but with a much classier environment. The owner is a twinkly-eyed, apple-cheeked little devil that can make anyone smile in an instant. The waitresses are cute, friendly and engaging. The food is great, the music is fun, and the chef's have a lot of personality. Great spot for a date, or to watch the game at the bar, or to meet new friends!

Great local hangout

by cc731

I found this place by accident when I was in west la. I figured I would stop in and grab some sushi. The waitresses were very friendly (and cute) and the sushi was fresh and not overpriced. They had the NBA playoffs on several TV's, so I caught up on the game. It seems like a place where a lot of locals hang out, so that must be a good sign. The owner even sent over some sake on the house. If you are in the area, I would recommend stopping by.

• Pros: waitresses, prices
• Cons: pretty busy, may need reservations

Great ambience and people...

by ktpavlova

The waitresses are great and really make the dining experience great! I found it a really place to go on dates and out with friends alike. It has a great table called "the office" that can seat about 10 comfortably. The table is very private and good for parties or dates. The food is pretty good and well priced too. I love the crunchy roll and most of their specialty rolls are pretty good too. I found it a great place to start the night. The restaurant is sandwiched between two upbeat bars so went next door for drinks after all. All around it was a good dining experience.

• Pros: location, people, food

best spot to start the night

by lynnNS

i went there for the first time, have driven by way too many times and finally ate there. it was great. my friends and I sat on the patio and had a great evening drinking delicious martinis(the key lime is the BEST) eating good sushi, and just enjoying the atmosphere and the people watching wandering from cabo to qs (fun bars to go to afterwards). totally recommend this place! get the tuna towers and seared albacore!

• Pros: waitresses
• Cons: parking- you have to valet

The owner is SIMPLY THE BEST

by cindyfromcabo

I just had to comment about the owner; sorry to hear about your negative experience with him. But some friends and I met Robert on a recent vacation and were completely smitten with his sense of humor and outgoing personality!! He made a Bad day turn into a "Good day!" ; ) i can't wait to try Hana Sushi the next time I'm in LA! (hopefully Robert will be there) Because we sooo enjoyed his company and his admirable zest for life! The comment about "this is my restaurant and I do what I want) just cracked me up! CASH CAB-Peso Cab- Ha ha Robert YOUR THE BEST!!!!!

Worst Owner and Service

by brentwood

We went there for happy hour, food and to watch a game. Happy hour is suppose to last until 6pm, but since it was a big game the owner decided to end the happy hour at 5pm. When we asked why he said "I am the owner I can do what I want." We will NEVER go to HANA again.

• Pros: Non
• Cons: Horrible Owner
