" The service was exemplary, with servers attentively checking on us. The sushi was varied and fresh, although some flavors felt a bit Americanized. Still enjoyable! The atmosphere was pleasant, though the noise level increased as we dined. I would return, primarily because of the friendly staff and decent food. It’s not quite as authentic as some might suggest, but a good spot overall. " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my friends insisted we go to Hanaoka, and I’m so glad we did! Every dish we ordered was spectacular, especially the bento box. It had so many delightful items, and we left feeling stuffed! The staff was friendly and the vibe was casual while still being professional. I can't recommend it enough! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Hanaoka based on recommendations from my friends, and I was not let down! The sushi rolls were scrumptious, and the ambiance is just perfect for a casual dinner. What stood out to me was the size of the rolls; I couldn't finish mine! It’s popular, so expect a wait, but it’s worth it. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We’ve been visiting Hanaoka for years, and it never fails to impress. The fish is always fresh, and they have some of the best sushi in town. I love their crunchy rolls and highly recommend the sashimi platter for anyone who enjoys quality fish! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is like family to us. We've never had a bad experience here, and we plan on coming back regularly. " (*Curated Review*)

" My recent dinner at Hanaoka was delightful! The sushi was fresh and expertly prepared. I enjoyed the sumptuously flavorful clam miso soup that I ordered, and the rolls were a great combination of flavors. The atmosphere felt cozy and relaxing, too—definitely a suitable spot to unwind after a long day. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't praise Hanaoka enough! After moving from Japan, finding a good Japanese restaurant became my mission. Both sushi and ramen here taste authentic, and the staff's greetings in Japanese gave me a nostalgic feeling. Portions were generous, the environment is welcoming, and the service is outstanding! Prepare for a wait, but trust me, it’s worth it. Can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Hanaoka is a hidden treasure! I stumbled upon this place coincidentally and was blown away by the sushi quality. It felt genuinely authentic with fresh ingredients apparent in every bite. The service was friendly and fast. The decorations add to the authentic Japanese dining context, which I appreciated greatly. Lunch specials are a fantastic deal too! " (*Curated Review*)
