" OMG, if you’re a sake lover, this is your paradise! Hannyatou has an out-of-this-world selection of sake. Our server was so friendly; she really took the time to explain different varieties to us. As for the food, the quality was superb, but the small plates left us wanting more than just a morsel. Still, I’ll definitely go back for another round of that delicious sake! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve been to multiple Japanese restaurants in the area, but Hannyatou stands out with its creative twist on Japanese cuisine. The atmosphere is warm and cozy, and the sake selection? Simply unparalleled. However, I did feel the portions were quite small for the price, which was a bit disappointing. But the quality of the food made it worthwhile. I'll definitely be back to try more options! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a great girls' night out at Hannyatou! The atmosphere created a warm and charming backdrop for our evening. We couldn’t get enough of the raw octopus with fresh wasabi—it was a table favorite. The staff was helpful in navigating the menu, but we did find the prices a bit steep for smaller portions. Still, it’s a place to revisit for the great vibe and unique offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first time at Hannyatou, and I loved it! The sake selection is mind-blowing—so many options to choose from! I appreciated how attentive the staff were in walking us through the various flavors. The food was inventive; however, I wish the portions were a bit larger. Still, everyone at my table enjoyed their meals. A great spot for an authentic experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" We tried Hannyatou on a whim and were so pleased! The cozy vibe truly makes it a wonderful spot. While the katsu sando was good, what really wowed us were the creative cocktails they offered. Each one was its own experience! The portion sizes could be small for some, but we found them perfectly sized for sampling various dishes. I'd be excited to go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hannyatou with high expectations, and it mostly met them! The atmosphere was inviting, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I tried quite a few items and enjoyed the creativity behind the dishes. However, I found some items a bit salty. The portion sizes felt on the smaller side for the price, but we were able to sample multiple items, which was fun. I would go back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at Hannyatou was unforgettable! The staff really know their stuff when it comes to sake. They helped pair our drinks with the food perfectly. I tried the brussel sprouts and egg sandwich, which were outstanding! The atmosphere was cozy, making it a great spot for friends or a date night. However, just be mindful of the small plate portions. We did leave wishing we had ordered a few more items! But overall, absolutely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)
