Been going for years here, will always have a special place in my tummy for eating there :-)
They may not be the best, they may not be the cheapest, but for the free show of the human beings on Capital Hill, you can't beat it! They are usually very very busy, be prepared to wait for a table, call ahead if you are ordering to go. The place is clean, not fancy, the employees are nice, the hostesses are cute, the food is good, and you'll not be charged for the freak-show that walks by the windows.( you will swear that you are in the movie - Mars Attack, with the girl and little lap dog that the aliens switched the head and the body, OMG, did that just walk by!?!?)
I do see bad reviews of the food, I have been there countless times, well over 50+ over the last 10 years. I have never had bad food there. I would however like to see more creativity with the rolls.
I admit to have not eaten there in over a year but I'm in a good mood for reviews so I'm giving kudos. I have seen the menu change very slightly, maybe it's time to go see them, maybe I'll stop in a bring a date next week. We'll see how they handle a high-maintenance 8yo, not my child but she'll have to tag along,,,haha.
Sorry Hana. The high point of your cuisine is the hot cap hill chicks that guide you to your seat, but that's not why I go to restaurants. Your food is goddamn bad.
This is the worst part. Hana is inconsistently bad, so sometimes it's good and a worthy value. I'd rather have consistent bad instead of occasionally good. It's not ok.
Hana, after a couple past experiences, was sushi-banned. The sushi is so bad here, it makes the super lame Blue C look like the Tokyo Imperial Palace. The spider roll was the last last last chance. Rancid mayo. You people are gross.
The udon here has been acceptable, but not this time. The accompanying spider roll was not ok. They didn't bring me my tea or a spoon to eat the soup with.
Bad food! Bad! Never again.
Two star sushi stands, but four star udon awesome.
If not for the slow bitchy service and the…

I'm sorry, but I don't get it.
Everyone raves about this place, saying it's cheap, really good, ect., but I just don't get it.
Friday night.
8:30 PM.
There was a huge line of about 15-20 people, and the place was packed.
Was told there was a 20 minute wait, my friend who was adamant about Hana's sushi said it was worth it.
I haven't been to Hana since...2002?
20 minutes later, we were seated at a sticky formica countertop table and we ordered:
Miso soup
rice (huge portion)
fried chicken (way too much seasoning)
calamari
2 orders of the six piece salmon (was not fresh)
beef sukiyaki (delish!)
1 order of sashimi $15 plate special
1 beer
1 pepsi
Total: $55
Cheap?
No.
Average for mediocre food in florescent lighting. It was so loud with the Friday night crowds getting drunk, I had a major headache before even leaving.
I won't be back.
Darnit, Hana! You keep chipping away at the rock that is my heart, forcing me to like you more and more.
I went here last night because Calvin Y wanted to try some natto (I know, he's clearly mental), and Hana was one of the only place nearby that I knew that served it. In case you were wondering, natto is *still* not my favorite. But that's not Hana's fault.
I'd heard good things about Hana's non-sushi fare, so I got an order of teriyaki don. With chicken, because I like chicken. At that price (less than $7!), I thought it would be more like a snack than a meal. On the contrary! I couldn't even finish it. And it was SOOO TASTY. Way better than the teriyaki you get at any of the Cap Hill teriyaki joints! Rather than being drowned in teriyaki sauce, the focus was on the meat: Tender and delicious, with just enough of teriyaki flavor to make it well balanced.
So... why am I paying more for my weekly teriyaki fix from Teriyaki & Wok? I'm being stupid, that's why. But no longer: Hana, you've converted me from a naysayer to a to-be-recurring customer. Good work!
In the end, I'm iffy on the sushi here still. So it balances out to 3 stars. But who knows... stick with me for another few months, and I may change my mind yet again.
OK, OK. After being dragged back here by a friend who insisted that this place is quite good, I feel… Read more »
I live a block from Hana, and visit it approximately weekly.
In the last year or two, there have been a few changes. Staff no longer seem to accept that white people actually know what they want - every time I order a seaweed salad, it's recommended to me that I try something else. The spider roll has dropped in size. More than anything, though, service has slowed down to a crawl, with the wait to order (just to order, I'm happy to wait for food) climbing steadily from a consistent three or four minutes to now sometimes ten to fifteen.
The sushi is good, especially for the price. Rice tends to be good, but along with the new slower service, orders can clearly be left out for some time between completion and delivery to table - I've had unagi-don with rice hardening in the bottom corners.
A year ago, Hana was excellent, and I still go quite regularly, but the service is starting to slip.
Hana is my go-to place whenever I have a sudden urge to eat some sushi or Japanese food. I never have to wait. The service is fast and friendly. There are so many reasons why this place is one of my favorite Japanese restaurant in Seattle. They're not the hip, trendy fusion sushi places that are popping up around town. Over the years, I've tried many dishes on the menu and have my collection of favorites now. I never get the bento or sushi combo anymore...sure, you get a lot of food but you may not want to eat everything on it. So here is my list of tried and true from Hana...drum rolls please:
SUSHI: the fresh scallops are amazing. They must have a regular scallops supplier b/c this is always on the menu and is always fresh. Uni is good and cheaper here than most places. The albacore tataki is delicious; seared albacore on top of a bed of daikon and onion with citrusy yuzu. Salmon isn't too bad either. Oysters with a lemony sauce is also very fresh.
TRADITIONAL FOOD: the chawan mushi is by far the best I've tasted in Seattle. Broth so sweet and tofu curd so soft. Nabeyaki udon is also very good. Katsudon is very flavorful. Hamachi kama is always perfectly broiled. I didn't care much for their adegashi tofu. Clam miso soup rocks! And so does the clams in sake broth.
Bottom line: great Japanese food with a good selection of sushi and traditional food. I have my faves so I stick to them so I can't comment about the other dishes. And remember to always check the chalk board for the specials of the day.
Hana is by far the best Sushi ever! I take everyone here. It's inexpensive and they even have takeout in case you wanna order to go.
During the lunch hour they have great specials, I once ordered the salmon terryaki bowl. It was a huge piece of salmon on a pile of rice, in a bowl that could feed two people, but heck no I wasn't sharing any of my goodness.
I have had a lot of sushi experiences, some people say they are all the same, that's because they have not been here.
I got one of their combos and it was huge - tons of food! Their miso soup was good but I thought the sushi was just okay.
Ok...so I upped the stars to 3 because I think I was too harsh the first time. I mean I have to give it to a Japanese restaurant that serves curry. There are so few restaurants that serve Japanese curry these days. The chicken karaage is good too...they serve it on the bone rather than it being pieces of cut up thigh. A huge portion for the price and with a squeeze of lemon it is soooo yummy!
Sushi is good for the price and the food is as well!
The sushi and food is always decent but nothing spectacular by any means. I suppose one shouldn't… Read more »
I usually sit at the sushi bar, where the service is fine, because the order goes straight to the chef. The sushi is generously cut, without the artistic patterns seen in more upscale sushi restaurants; but the pieces are substantially larger and hard to eat it in one mouthful. At Hana it is possible to order one piece of sushi at a time on the ala carte menu, whereas most Japanese restaurants sell two. This enables a greater diversity of items without having to stuff yourself. They have a large clientele, resulting in rapid turnover of fish stock, therefore, very fresh fish. The California roll is average.
Although the prices have recently risen in the face of an economic downturn, in my experience Hana still represents the best value in town for sushi. Fruit flies are very prudent shoppers, and they love the place.
Hana has the best sushi in a city full of snobby sushi fiends. And yet its never too crowded. And even when you think it is too crowded and you'll never get a seat one of their delightfully nice hostesses will inform you there is room upstairs. And that's on a busy friday night. Then its only a matter of seconds before someone is there to take your drink order. And just when your starting to think theres gotta be a reason there is still seating available on a weekend night at a sushi bar right on broadway, the sushi comes and its perfection. Perfect sized rolls that aren't so big you'd have to take two bites but aren't so small you feel like your about to get ripped off. The Eel is Amazing and its only $1!! and their spicy tuna is the best i've ever had. Great meal. THEN the bill comes and enough sushi for 2 hungry adults and 2 drinks still comes out to less then 20 dollars. We've started making a habit of coming to this place and its always as good as the first time. We love hana. yay.
Hands down, the most authentic and best Japanese restaurant in Seattle. I lived in Japan for a few years and I am a die-hard Japanese food fanatic, so I think when I say something is "authentic," it comes pretty damn close. I don't think it gets enough credit because it's small and not as "pretty" as some other Japanese restaurants. However, you know the sushi will be good by just looking at the sushi chef. He looks like he came straight from the Edo period.
Don't expect to find those creative but not-so-Japanese "volcano rolls" or "dragon rolls." If you want authentic and fresh sashimi or sushi, this is definitely the place to go. They also have very interesting appetizers such as sauteed geoduck (a must try). Their raw oysters, scallops, and uni are also delicious.
However, if I had to choose one dish that deserves 5 stars, it would be the nabeyaki udon. It comes boiling in a metal pot (so make sure you're not too hungry or else your reckless eating will burn you). The broth is perfect (sweet and flavorful). The noodles are just right (not too thick and right firmness), and I love the egg, chicken, and tempura added.
And of course, you have to order a Kirin or Sapporo beer to go along with the goodness of the food =)
A group of 3 of us showed up around 8 pm on a Friday night; the place was busy, but we only had to wait about 10 minutes to be seated. We ordered several pieces of unagi, hamachi and saba, a seaweed salad, an agedashi tofu and a tempura (just under $50 total for 3 people). The tempura was a bit heavy, but the seaweed salad was nice and crunchy. The sushi was average. Not much of an ambiance, but good value for the price.
SETTING: a little divy, so I recommend for take-out. Plus, they played THE RADIO during dinner. I count this as a business mistake that they should reconsider.
FOOD: Fabulous rolls and delicious sushi all around, especially for the price. Generous portion salad starter and excellent miso soup. Our waitress catered to our desire for rolls and knew what would taste best. We had the eel rolls with green onion, spicy tuna roll, and yellowtail. Every one of these rolls tasted amazing. I was very impressed. Ya can't judge Hana by it's cover. This place is PERFECT for takeout, I'm planning on coming back (but staying home) for more.
The first time i walked in, i found the decor unassuming. Actually, until it had been verbally suggested to me, i walked by it more time than i can count.
the sushi menu isn't very elaborate - but its lack of elaborate choices is all but made up for in the freshest, most delectable sushi i have ever had. even something so basic such as the california roll is a delectable treat here.
the hana special is my go-to for an affordable, mouth watering filling meal (a california roll and 8 pieces of nigiri - 2 shrimp, 2 salmon, 2 yellowtail, 2 tuna for $12) but there isn't much you can go wrong with.
i crave this place on a regular basis.
The seaweed salad is excellent. The scallop sashimi is creamy and yummy. They have a few of our favorite sakis. The rest of it is ok. I've never had anything bad here and the quality is consistent every time. The waitstaff is ok. I think it's overpriced. The decor is lacking. They want to take your order once and be done instead of the way I like to eat sushi, one or two dishes at a time. There's a second story if you're going to have a group there. No bathroom in restaurant, ask cashier for key.
The good thing about Hana is it's location and it's consistency.
When I look at my partner and say "Let's get sushi," the restaurant doesn't need to be chosen. It already is. The folks at Hana know us and know us well. We discovered back in March that it was apparently albacore season. The albacore just melted in our mouths and we would go and order an entire dinner of just albacore. It was pretty fantastic.
Yes, their decor leaves something to be desired, but for those who don't read the Stranger it's fantastic to find out what events are happening around the area. While eating, I'm much more focused on good food for a good price instead of decor or music.
We always get good food, good service and a good time at Hana. It was the first place I ate in Seattle and if I ever leave, it'll be the last place I eat before I head out of town.
I actually really love this place, and they are responsible for the fact that I eat sushi at all.
Long, long ago, I used to go here and just eat teriyaki. I wasn't a real fan of fish, so obviously the idea of putting raw fish into my mouth was not appealing. So the only thing I ate there besides teriyaki were California Rolls.
Years passed, and one Saturday some new friends and I decided to go out to eat. They lived within walking distance of Hana, so off we went. For whatever reason, I decided that I was going to try something a bit more adventurous than teriyaki and California Rolls. And I loved it.
I don't remember what I had that first time, but I think we went almost every weekend for the next two years, and had many a Hana Special, Spicy Tuna Roll, and various pieces of nigiri. I didn't like them all, but I'm guessing that not everyone is cut out to like Sea Urchin. I liked almost all of them though, and today I am a huge fan of almost all forms of sushi.
Other items that were popular at our table at Hana were Gyoza and tempura.
The food is not AMAZING, but we always found it to be plenty tasty (and subsequent return visits over the last few years have proven that things are pretty much the same) and usually, all 3 of us could be stuffed full for about $30, including beer.
I think my experience is pretty much in line with most of the 3 star reviews here. It really is nothing special.
Kind of disappointed to find out they don't do sashimi cuts. I ordered the Octopus and the yellow tail as sashimi, but ended up getting the sushi cuts without the rice. Not cool. Especially since Seattle is supposed to have one of the largest octopus population by their part of the Pacific Ocean.
The Spicy Tuna in the handroll that I ordered was a little too mushy. Didn't seem like they had the best cuts.
Tip for the cooks/chefs/owners: Whoever is in charge of acquiring fish - why don't you pay off your delivery guys so that you don't get the last pick off of the truck. Or, wake up a little earlier and head down to the fish market. I think your customers deserve fresh fish.
For what it's worth though, 3 stars.
I was on my way to another restaurant, but my friend and I passed this place and saw that it was packed and decided we had to try it! The sushi was fresh, but all the rolls seemed to have too much mayo. I hate mayo in general, so I felt like the flavor was overpowering and ended up not too satisfied with my meal. The girl next to me ordered something that looked really good though...I think if I go again I'll order sashimi.
It started off with me and my cousin roaming around broadway looking for a place to have dinner where we came across HaNa. My cousin recalls it having decent japanese food so we decided..why not?
First entering the resturant..we were hoping the interior wasn't a reflection of the food because it was looking a little run down, but that wasn't the case. We ordered the Nabeyaki Udon which I'll say is the best udon in Seattle hands down. $15 a bowl is totally worth it because it will fill you up! I recommend it on a cold Seattle day..I got a bowl of it after a long day of snowboarding and it was heaven!
I have made multiple trips to HaNa ever since my first. I love their rolls, sashimi plates and appetizers. Given the how good the food quality is, the prices are a steal.
Some dishes worth trying apart from your usual California roll or Chicken teriyaki: Sauteed Geoduck, scallop Nigiri, Chirashi, Nabeyaki Udon, tuna sashimi in miso paste (I can't remember the name but it's in the appetizer), raw oysters
There was one month where I've gone to Hana every week. I'm always taking vistors/family/friends here..I took my mom here who is very critical about resturant food..and even she walked out happy haha. The flipside to the resturant is that it's SMALL..so you can't take big parties with you unless you're willing to wait.
HaNa is worth every dollar..I highly recommend going to this low key joint!
Oh and the main sushi chef looks like a total bad ass
I've been here a couple times now and have really enjoyed the sushi.
It's very well prepared, fresh and the prices are fantastic.
Also had a seafood salad, which was huge and very tasty.
Great spot when you crave sushi and don't want to completely empty your wallet.
One word ---NOT AUTHENTIC! :(
I ordered a Udon, and the soup was very weird. I am so used to an authentic Japanese food (duh, of course, I am from Japan!!) and their soup was cloudy for some odd reason. Too bad I wouldn't wanna go back there because it is so close to where I live :(
Strictly speaking, there are only two Japanese restaurants on Broadway.
Hana is one of them and is a better one in my opinion.
The location is pretty good.
It is located pretty much at the heart of Broad way, close to Olive way (Rite Aid).
They have not too fancy sushi and Japanese home style food such as Katsudon and Saba shioyaki. I really like that they have something other than "Typical Japanese food".
However, I don't think they are that great price wise.
I paid more than $11 for my boiled mackerel with a cup of miso soup and rice. (not including tip)
The service is not bad., and you don't have to worry about getting a empty water glass.
I'm not too attracted to the place, but I will come back for sure.
Note: My yelp friend told me that I sounded like I'm having a love-hate
relationship with Hana. Yeah, I think it explains a lot. lol.
I found this place on Yelp cause I was trying to be cheap. It was just a terrible idea because this place sucks.
Curry Katsu was burnt and bland. Udon looked good but didn't follow through with the taste. GF (whom is Japanese) nagged me for hours after our dining experience to never take here there again or anywhere on that block.
Good thing I didn't try the sushi or I would have shot myself. So many other reasonably price Japanese places in the vicinity.
Good Food, Good service, good price. Portions could be slightly larger though. My spider roll was very tasty, but not quite filling. I'll know to order more next time. (5 portions instead of 4 would have been about perfect.)
I've lived in Seattle for over twelve years, and Hana is my favorite restaurant. Their menu is filled with cheap Japanese comfort food. Their beef don (beef and onions on rice) is delicious, and under $7 for more food than most people can eat in one siting. Their katsu curry don is also delicious. My dad gets this every time he visits, and he loves Japanese food of all kinds. Sushi is $1/piece for an average-sized nigiri, and about $2.50 for six pieces of maki. This is one of the few places I've visited that serves escolar (a white fish that tastes like salmon, only buttery instead of salon-y). [Update: Apparently escolar can cause nasty side-effects in some people, which explains why it's not served in many places. Nobody I know has had problems eating this at Hana, but please research this fish before trying it for the first time.] I regularly order a salmon roll or escolar roll, neither of which is on the menu. Also good are their sukiyaki and niku tofu. Neither of these dishes are available to-go unless you bring your own container due to the large amount of soup in them. I always order off the "ala carte" side of the menu rather than the more expensive traditional dinner menu. We visited Hana with some Japanese teenagers recently and they, too ordered from the ala carte menu. If the thing you're getting costs more than $10, then you're not getting the best Hana has to offer.
The restaurant is small and unimpressive in terms of decor. If you have more than four people you may have to wait a while. Do not use the restrooms. They are shared with other stores in the building and are disgusting.
I get take-out from here every week and visit slightly less often. Staff are friendly, and service is relatively quick. As a neighborhood staple it can't be beat.
If you love Sushi get your butt to Hana
this place is great I love it the Sushi is about as fresh if not the freshest you are gonna find and if you haven't had it yet try the Spicy Sea Bass
you will fall in love with this tasty morsel
and for them days when you are not in the mood for Sushi...I know that never happens so ok when you need a change then have this wonderful Tempura Veggies I have gotten these to go a few times for the bf when he wants something different for dinner and he is like surprise me
it always does the trick and every time I have taken friends here there are always like why didn't you bring me here sooner
Hana is a great place to grab japanese food on the hill. The japanese food they have is pretty simple and basic and they offer a great sushi menu.
There is nothing wow'ing about their food, but it definitely is easy to get to if you live on the hill. Personally, I'd prefer to go to Maneki in the I-District for japanese food or Aoki further on Broadway.
This is possibly the best sushi you can get on capital hill. Every time my husband and I go here we get great service. I have never had anything but their sushi and their spicy tuna roll. Their Salmon and Albacore tuna are by far my favorite. The waitresses are always very helpful. They always warn us too that if you order sushi it will take a little longer. We dont care considering it is 1.00 per sushi. mmmm.....
They even took a reservation for my husbands birthday since they see us so much :D
Now I haven't had the sushi here, and I probably should since Yelpers seem to rave about it. In fact, I've only been here once, and usually, I don't rate places after being there only once. But for Hana, I must make an exception.
Let me tell you that I'm not rating them on their service, their decor, their cleanliness, or their fruit flies (didn't see any, but if I did, I'd grab them with my chopsticks, Mr. Miyagi style and then I'd eat them. And I bet they'd be delicious). All 5 of these little white stars are for their nabeyaki udon.
First off, I love udon. I love the shit. I've been eating it forever, I prefer it over ramen, and I can remember every place I've ever had a good bowl of udon. When I had this one uber-fantastic udon in Japan, I nearly creamed my pants. It's a good thing I didn't, because it was at a place where we sat on tatami mats. My udon of choice has always been and will always be Nabeyaki Udon. I must have my udon in the metal pot, so hot that it takes 10 minutes before it's cool enough to not burn your tongue. I must have all those fixins - the kameboko, the tempura, the egg. I must have it all. And I always have to put a good amount of the japanese red pepper.
So what makes Hana's nabeyaki udon so special? It actually looks smaller than other places because they use smaller bowls. Don't let that fool you, they fill that bowl to the muthafukin brim, son. And the noodles... man, those noodles. They're a little thinner than other places, but they texture and flavor of the noodles is just absolutely perfect. The broth is delicious, and that smaller bowl kept the tempura shrimp from getting too soggy too fast.
My cousin who I took with me loved it so much, she took her sister to come. Her sister (also my cousin, duh) said she loved this place too. And of course, they both had the nabeyaki udon.
I'll come back to Hana's, and perhaps one day I'll have this sushi that everyone seems to go ga-ga for. But it'll be hard not to order the nabeyaki udon again.
Great curry. I love it. Unlike most place that serve Japanese curry, at Hana it's dark and full of flavor and spice.
Don't try anythnig else but the curry. It's so good you'll never need anything else.
The sushi chefs are also very friendly and are open for a good conversation in English or Japanese.
After having been at HaNa a couple of times, I figured I'd highlight some of their menu items that I really liked:
Edamame - I know, every Japanese restaurant has these and you can buy them at the grocery store. HaNa's edamame is much better than most, they seem to have a source for fresh edamame, they're firm and nutty.
Ankimo - How does such delicious liver come from such an ugly fish? This is not something you find at every sushi restaurant. HaNa's is average for ankimo, but if you like liver, you should definitely give it a try.
Nabeyaki Udon - What to eat if you can't afford to eat just sushi.
Their sushi is about average. Not bad, but not awesome. They also have a decent sake collection, my favorite is Otokoyama. HaNa's prices are very reasonable. Service is variable. Even for average sushi, they're notches above the other Capitol Hill sushi join, Aoki.
As a native Japanese, I have to say this place is just OK. Not that foods are bad, I think they use really cheap rice. If rice is not good, it's turnoff for Japanese. Bathroom is outside the place, and I find it pretty annoying (it's not clean either). Their services are sometimes good, sometimes not.
If I want to have a decent Japanese food, I'd rather travel down to China Town and go to Maneki or Fuji.
I have to say Hana's Tempura udon is very very good for its price though.
Its good, its cheap, the waitresses make me laugh with their detachment, the cashier girls are always friendly. Ask for the Butta Kama if they have it.
Don't get me wrong, the sushi itself was some of the best I've had in Seattle. The fish is perfectly fresh, and they have perfected the stickiness of the rice. Fish portions are also generous. I ordered a combination for $10.95 that included 7 pieces of Nigiri and a tuna roll. Combinations with sashimi were available around $15. The price was certainly right.
We also ordered a sushi roll A-La-Carte. We ordered the tempura roll, one of their most expensive rolls at $7. What we got was disappointing: only 4 small pieces of sushi, mostly rice. The tempura within was not good at all, mostly tempura batter with little shrimp meat.
The house sake ($7 large carafe) was not served hot enough.
The main reason I will never eat here again is the fruit flies. They are everywhere, and that is a bad sign, especially in a sushi restaurant. Everyone in the room was swatting flies throughout their whole meal.
The service was also poor. Even though it was a slow night with only about 5 tables full, it took us 15 minutes to flag down the waitress for our check.
This restaurant is almost always packed with people. I get it - the sushi is good and the price is right. It's too bad they aren't keeping the place clean."
I won't pretend to be an expert on sushi. Things on which I am an expert are as follows: third world island nations, cheese, Johnny Depp, family communication patterns, and '80s dance music.
Even I, with my lack of knowledge in the area of sushi, know that Hana is inexpensive. And, I did enjoy the fish and vegetable rolls very much.
I would bet you $5 that they use MSG in their hot foods, but I stayed away, as I am also an expert on having allergies to things most people have never heard of.
Four stars because the food is mostly good, as well as cheap. Dock to three because the atmosphere is functional, as well as cheap.
When I ate here my sushi tasted fishy.
Fresh fish is not "fishy" tasting.
Sushi should be fresh.
This alone is enough to keep me away, cheap sushi or not.
Being a broke college student living on Capitol Hill, and also being an ultimate sushi snob, I am unable to fulfill my desire of eating tasty, fresh sushi every day of the week. However, Hana isn't bad. Not bad at all.
Service is decent, although slow on busy nights. The sushi chefs are very friendly and will gladly engage in a conversation with you. I had geoduck there a few weeks ago and it was tasty as hell. Their uni isn't half bad, especially for the price ($2 a piece!). I'm a big fan of the masago gunkan with uzura on top, but that's not for everyone... also, their sushi combo is a really good deal (a tuna roll and like eight pieces of nigiri for 12 bucks)
Anyways, if you're on the hill, on a budget, and want your sushi fix, go here!
I am really upset I actually spent my money there.
Paying 10 dollars for a plate of teriyaki chicken I expect something more than I normally get at a teriyaki joint for 6 dollars. Well, it was a lot worse...fatty chicken pieces in a watery bland sauce that tasted like plain, super diluted soy sauce....and the green salad that came with it was old iceberg lettuce with mayo...didn't even get rice with it...had to pay extra for a bowl of it! Tonkatsu was extremely dry! Service was super slow...Fish on sushi was old and tasteless....
