Got take out from here a few times. Sushi is OK — not super fresh, but tastes good enough. I think it may be a little bit over priced, but I’d recommend checking it out at least once to form your own opinion

Used to live around this area and would always order takeout. It’s a convenient, cheaper option for sushi in the area. I wouldn’t say that it’s the best quality food that you can get but their rolls are tasty and will satisfy any sushi cravings.

There is almost nothing bad to say about Hana Sushi. This place is great. Great sushi and it’s cheap! I usually get take out and I love that I can order online! Only bad thing I can say is that it’s never ready on time. Add 10 minutes to the time they say it’ll be ready at.

First time trying Hana Sushi. The establishment has a cool modern Japanese vibe. We ordered salmon and toro sashimi-which was fresh and well cut, as well as the Hana Flower and Mango paradise– both very good. Service was friendly, attentive and fast. The noise level is a little high, but just gives the place a lively feel. Parking can be difficult to find because it’s on 4th street, but worth the effort to check this place out. Will go again to try other things on the menu.

Surprisingly good! Totally unexpected, I thought it was just going to be your typical non-Japanese owned Japanese restaurant, but it was actually very good. Came with a group of 8 after work on Mothers Day. Made reservations, so greeted, seated, watered right away. Our orders literally took minutes to arrive. I couldn’t believe it. The restaurant was maybe about 1⁄3 full at the time, but 2 sushi boats, apps, and mains all came out within 10−15mins of ordering. Sashimi was fresh, tempura, fried shrimp, takoyaki etc all fried light and crispy. And the place is well priced for Calgary, compared to some other places I’ve been to. Will definitely return. And the servers were really nice too.

I absolutely love the sushi here. The fish is fresh and the rolls are SOYUMMY. I found that the staff is friendly(as long as they are not too busy, then they are more on the serious side). It is my favourite sushi place in Calgary.

We live in Strathmore but when it’s time to actually have a good sushi we either pick up and will bring it back or dine in the double happiness role is definitely the way to go

I live on the same block so it was in my destiny to give it a shot. We went there on a late Friday night. We were immediately seated. I asked for a sake menu which unfortunately had two options, cold and hot: D We ordered a bottle of cold sake. The drink was okay but nothing out of ordinary(inexpensive though). We ordered miso soup and sea weed salad as appetizer and also an array of rolls + chicken teriyaki as our main dish. My favorites were salmon and tuna out side rolls. Both of them came with avocado and the ratio of rice to filling was perfect(Around 80% fish, I do not like the rolls that it is 50% rice). Chicken Teriyaki was tasty and sizzling hot. Very generous portion. Overall for sure it is not the best sushi town, however, it is very good quality sushi with very reasonable price. Three of us after eating a lot of items on the menu in addition to a bottle of sake paid 70 $(Including tax and tip). Around 23 $ per person, which is very cheap for a generous sushi dinner. I will defiantly go back there either for take out or dine in and highly recommend it for a reasonable sushi. So next time your are in mission or 17th ave and craving sushi, Hana can be a good option.

My boyfriend and I had an appointment that ended around dinner so we decided to find somewhere to eat since we were out anyways. When we walked into Hana, one of the chefs informed us that although we could get a table right away but the food would be a while. We figured«How bad could the wait be?» so we got seated and looked over the menu. It wasn’t overly busy but we couldn’t get the attention of anyone to take our order(if it’s gonna take a while, we should at least put in our order right?) It was probably about 15 minutes before someone finally came by — we both ordered chicken udon. I was borderline hAngry, but I knew I couldn’t get mad because they did tell us before we sat down it was gonna be a while. Another 20 mins passed and our soup(finally!) arrived. Imitation crab, veggies and chicken floated in a massive bowl of noodles and broth. I normally don’t say this, but it was totally worth the wait. I appreciated them being honest about the wait, and the food was delicious so I can’t complain. I’ll be back again if I’m in the area again.

We didn’t have a great experience. When we went the place was full, not completely, but most tables were taken. We were seated quickly and given menus. Ordering was really quick, within 5 minutes of getting there our orders were taken. From there service started to go downhill. We never got our drinks for about 30 min. One of our two entrée’s arrived 10 minutes later. Once that entrée was finished, we asked where the other entrée was. The server said they were busy so it would take longer than usual to get out. Truthfully, she forgot to enter the order into the computer so it wasn’t even started. We cancelled the second entrée and I left hungry. The sushi itself was average at best, poor for the cost. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all. There are much better sushi places in Calgary including Sakana Grill and Sushi Ichiban. Avoid this place.

I LOVE Sushi. And this place is a stones throw away. Boyfriend and I went on a whim and were pleasantly surprised that they were able to get us in so quickly and even gave up some tables that had reserved signs on them because the reservations apparently no showed. Oh well, their loss. We had miso soup, assorted tempura and the mini boat that had sashimi and California rolls on it. I’m not the biggest fan of rice, so I ate all the sashimi. it was awesome. They also made sure there was no ginger on the plate and brought it as a side because, sadly I’m allergic. The bill was also a very reasonable price. The only downfall to the whole experience what the really loud juice monkey sitting next to us boasting about everything that makes him well him… and his poor date didn’t seem impressed. We will be back.

I’m torn on what to give this review, as I’ve been here on a number of occasions and had both meh and good experiences. This time was a good experience. It was my friend’s birthday so we decided to get some sushi. Knowing this place I suggested here, as I can’t stand Towa. I enjoy eating sushi, not having to think of some scientific way to cut it into 4 pieces with chopsticks and eat it. Anywho… It wasn’t busy which was nice, we were seated right away and got a nice table against the window. Not being too hungry, I ordered miso soup, which was delish, and a bunch of random pieces and rolls. The service was quick, the sushi was fresh and tasted super good. It was the perfect little lunch snack. My friends said it was good as well. If I’m in the area, I will continue to go here for sure, I wouldn’t go out of my way to come here though.

For the first time since a pizza eating contest in Bali 8 years ago, I tested the elasticity of my stomach! Conclusion … I think that it might be made of iron. This was my latest experience at Hana. Portion wise, the roll were gracious. At first I thought the prices were a little high for. some things, but the stampeder roll, veggie roll and yam tempura I had were plenty … and this coming from a gentleman with a large stomach. In addition, I also consumed a couple chu toro, uni and a lot of tea(damn they give you a big pot). I was almost tapping out from sheer sushi madness. There are better places quality wise in the city, but the pieces here are just fine. Will likely order less next time. I did find it kind of noisy at Hana’s there were a few tables that were annoyingly loud and obnoxious. However, one can hardly fault Hana for this. A decent place with some generous portions.

Make no mistake. Hana is a must try. The yam fries here set a new standard of heart clogging calories count but it is the best yam fries I have ever had. Visited on a Monday for dinner and it was relatively empty. Service is quick and courteous. The good stuff are on the back page of the menu, so look there first. I would go back again.

Hana Sushi is the closest sushi bar and restaurant to our place in the Beltline, and when we first went there we went with the impression of very good reviews(pre Unilocal). And our first meal there was quite pleasurable. Now keep in mind, we here in Cow Town are land locked. The sea is an 11 hour drive away. Salmon and tuna are NOT native. So good sushi, even passable sushi for Vancouver or LA, just isn’t available. I’ve had to eat some middling raw fish to date. So I was delighted when, upon the first visit to Hana Sushi, I found the salmon buttery, the tuna flavourful, and the Uni savoury. However, I thought the rice was a tad warm, which put the experience a bit off. The second trip to Hana, the Uni was a bit past prime On the third and fourth visit, the avocado roll came contaminated with flying fish roe(despite sending it back one time, apparently they just scraped what they could see off and returned it to us). Sushi is at least partially about presentation, so this lack of concern with cross contamination with other orders rolled on the same mat was disconcerting. The waitresses were not always attentive, allowing our glasses to go empty without asking if we wished refills. When you addressed your concerns with them, they were responsive, but never seemed to realize that if you were well«hydrated» you might order more. In short, for a quick meal its perfectly acceptable. For a special meal, or for sushi prepared with care, go elsewhere.

For all the sushi places in Calgary, this one is one of my favorites. It could be because it’s only steps from my house(one whole block); but more likely it’s because the sushi is dang fresh and reasonably priced. As far as sushi goes, the menu is pretty run-of-the-mill, however, the freshness of the product is what makes this sushi spot stand out. That said, sushi snobs can find some interesting rolls on this menu; the lllovers roll is a must-try(or is it looovers roll? I can’t remember what letter repeats…) but don’t expect strange-never-before-seen sushi at Hana. I am at this sushi place enough to probably own the television in the lobby, and I find the best sushi here is on a Tuesday. I discovered this by following a piece of advice from Jamie Oliver who said«Like you and I, fishermen don’t work on the weekends, so don’t buy your fish on a Sunday or Monday because it’s been sitting out since Friday.» Albeit, Calgary isn’t really the ‘who’s who’ of fresh fish, but I do find a difference in my sushi on a Tuesday or Wednesday… In any case, all wisdom a la Jamie Oliver aside, Hana is a good sushi place and I ‘less than three’ it’s prices, it’s staff and most of all, it’s sushi.

I typically go to Sushi Kawa, but decided to venture here in stead. The service is great(very attentive to detail), price is typical(cheap), and the food quality is on par with anywhere else in the city. What I like about this place and why I would go back is I like the interior and the ambiance, it a great crossover of the super casual Kawa but not the upscale Towa. It has great tables to accommodate larger groups. I enjoyed the ambiance and people watching here more than I have at Kawa. I’ll definitely be coming back — soon too!
