Hidden gem! Great service, good menu, tasty food and knowledgeable staff (talk to them and ask for recommendations, you won’t regret it). Staff took time to answer our questions and explain menu itemsFood came out quickly, nice presentation and excellent taste
My daughter and grandson set a dinner date here, and I'm happy they did, or I would have missed out. There were two surprises: the food was very good, and an 8 year old that likes sushi:) Good service, well prepared and tasty food. Happy to find an excuse to come back soon.
Best sushi in east San Diego with by far the nicest and friendliest wait staff! Place is well decorated and maintained and the menu has some unique sushi rolls that stand out against the other places. Loved our experience here!
Best sushi place ever! Me and my family have went here for Mother’s Day and the staff there is so frickin kind!! I love how they ask you for refills. The California roll is so good. Good restaurant overall can’t wait to come again! ?

I work late and was looking for a good late night food on a Friday and found this spot that said they were open til 11pm. I called to confirm and they said they were open til 10:30. We arrived at 10:23 and were immediately told that we have 3 mins to order and that the kitchen was closing. Sat down opened the menu and not even one minute later we were asked (by the same person) if we were ready to order. As we were feeling rushed we quickly picked out a couple rolls and ordered a beer. The general feeling from almost the entire staff was very unwelcoming. Then as we were served our food they begin mopping with a strong chemical cleaner around the sushi bar, where we were seated and made it very evident that they were ready to close. At this point it was barely 10:35. In all honesty the food was well prepared and tasty and had it not been for the service we would absolutely return. But due to the poor accommodation and overall attitude of the staff we will not go back.* not to managementFor any restaurant if you don’t want to be serving people til a certain time then clearly state on your website and window hours that you are closed at said time. Saying you’re open til 11p but pushing everyone out at 10:20 is poor business practice.
I am so picky about my sushi. To be honest, I don't know the difference between Taco Shoppe or Tacos El Gordo, but sushi... that's a different story. I used to frequent Okawa in Santee but they recently went through a change in ownership and the food is terrible there.So I decided to go back to Hana Sushi since I hadn't been there in about five years. During that time, they've changed a lot of things. The restaurant bought the space next door and expanded, making the dining area twice what it was in the past. The sushi bar area is twice what it was, making the area more open to more chefs cooking simultaneously, and the food comes out even faster.As you walk in, you'll see the old aquarium at the entrance with that one giant fish floating back and forth lazily. Don't tap the glass; it scares the fish and the staff will give you dirty looks. :) You're greeted by a bunch of friendly faces and they'll vaguely wave you towards a table. Don't be offended; they're not rude - the ladies there are just a little on the shy side.TIPS:- When you pull into the shopping center, be careful as some coming out of stores tend to not look before they step out between cars- As I mentioned earlier, be patient. If they're not coming to your table enough, just politely raise a hand and they'll be right there- Don't place all of your orders at the same time. If you're getting appetizer, order that first. Then when you're halfway through, order entrée, etc. The servers are good, but the food runners just bring out whatever pops up so sometimes, you can get them all at the same time- Absolutely, definitely try the tempura udon. It is so warm, savory, and filling- Jalapeno bomb. Yes.Every time we've gone, we've never had a complaint. The fish are always, always fresh, they always bring us a little extra (maybe to get us to try something new), and the service has always been friendly and prompt.This is now my favorite sushi restaurant.
Mmm. This place is delicious! There was no wait. We got drinks, plum wine and apple soju, and they were at the table right away. We ordered three rolls and two sashimi. They took a little bit but they were worth it. The sashimi was thick, fresh, and so tasty! The rolls were very delicious and I 100% recommend this place!
