Food: Tasteless sushi with a price

The top dishes at Hana Haru are let down by the lack of flavor. The California Roll, although standard, was received better than the Dynamite and Albacore Garlic Rolls. Frequent mentions of blandness only highlight the taste failure. Not only are the dishes predominantly tasteless, but the portions are also skimpy, making for an unimpressive dining experience. Possibly the only reprieve is the noteworthy freshness of the sushi, not enough to salvage the underwhelming taste and value.

  • Okay Quality

    While market affects sushi quality, this place consistently delivers freshness.

  • Small Portions

    Negative remarks focused on small, inadequate portion sizes.

Vibe: Dingy and narrow heartbreak

The vibe at Hana Haru falls flat with its dim, narrow and basic decor, stripping away the restaurant’s potential ambiance. The compact size, lack of privacy and aesthetic attention make it subpar for a date night, stifling any romantic aspirations.

  • Bad Aesthetic

    Mentions of dingy, narrow, and not fancy decor reflect negative ambiance.

Perks: Average service meets parking hassle

Service at Hana Haru is middling, with patches of quick seating and good attention returning mixed reviews. While they accommodate kids well, challenges with parking at peak times and less than ideal venue for groups due to the restaurant's narrow layout maintain the neutral, if not negative, perceptions.

  • Great for Kids

    Great for families with kids, more space than average sushi joints.

  • Okay Service

    Mixed experiences with service speed and staff attention but generally good.

  • Bad for Groups

    Narrow restaurant layout requires careful seating arrangement.
