Hana Japanese Eatery

Best sushi in town I believe. When Ayako of Tokyo closed down at the Biltmore I thought I'd never find a suitable replacement. An incredible menu with plenty of fresh fish available. UCC Coffee rocks!

Hana's version of Hiyashi Chuka is a summer treat you won't want to miss, combining ramen noodles , slivers of omelet , pickled ginger , cucumber , & chasu (slow-cooked pork seasoned with honey and soy). Read more

The sushi at this humble neighborhood eatery is quite impressive -- think oversized slabs of extremely fresh aji, silky sake , and buttery hamachi , elegantly draped over compact rice balls . Read more

The entire menu is just awesome but this THE place to go in Phoenix for fresh, quality sushi . Staff is friendly and the chefs are creative with the specials.

The quality of the fish here is amazing. Definitely a treat to sit at the bar and watch them work their magic. Take a chance and ask for some off-menu recommendations, too.

Try the Sukuei Tofu - Rich, silky umami flavor. Umami heaven. Just enough salt to accent the umami, then goes away. How do you cook asparagus so that it melts in your mouth?

Pay close attention to the board that lists daily specials and be sure to ask for translations and recommendations because this is where things get really interesting. Read more

On a menu full of delicious, my very favorite thing is Umi No Sachi Salad , spring mix piled high with fresh tuna , salmon & octopus and tossed with a tangy ginger dressing .

Try the Onsen Tamago - A masterpiece of cuisine. Delicate egg bathed (onsen style) with delicate broth and drops of oj .

2010 Best of Phoenix Winner: Best Sushi ! Fresh with must-haves like abalone , ankimo (monkfish liver ), or aji (Spanish mackerel ). Order enough goodies and you might even get your very own sushi boat. Read more

Try the Sea bass - perfect balance of bitter, sour, sweet, salty, umami and texture, done up in a colorful spray of the best fruit of the ocean!

The miso dressing is the best for your salad.Also, make a point to sit at the sushi bar , great conversation opportunities and new friendships waiting for you there!

Try the Ribeye Steak - Mid rare perfectly cooked with lotus root , okra and squash . Wowow. Batting 1000 tinight!!!

Definitely get the miso ramen!It's been revamped and is soooo much better now.This is an absolutely fantastic place to have a birthday dinner btw.

Try the Uni-Nigiri - Let the chef have choice and you might be served life-changing-level uni-nigiri

Can't say enough good things about this place, staff , & sushi ! If you truly love sashimi , there's nothing better out there!

Sure the sushi is great, but have the Hana salad and it might be your new reason to come here - fresh avocado slices , premium slices of parmesan cheese with pine nuts in an AMAZING dressing . Hi Lori

Some of the best sushi in town ! Do yourself a favor and try it!

Delish and local. It's also BYOB here. The sushi rolls are super fresh, the Vegas is my favorite.

just ask Koji-San to make whatever he wants. you will never regret it, just make sure it comes with FRESH wasabi (its awesome). also: sweet republic ice cream !

Try the Kaki - Fried oyster . Omg. This is the famous panko style. Plus sauce = perfection.

Try the Toro - 4 days after arrival, the oil oozes and glistens. This is toro nirvana.

Try the Fried Sole (Potato Starch) - Moist and light. Fried skeleton awaits on the bottom for your last bites.

Try the Vanilla-Wasabi ice cream at Hana from Sweet Republic . It is a trip & isn't as bad as it might sound! It is one of those things that you can say you've done. Read more
