   What is the best way to describe Sushi Hana…….not only the best sushi restaurant on the island if Hawaii but the best if any I have been to in the state if Hawaii……and the best sushi restaurant I have been to period. And being from the Pacific Northwest I have been to many great sushi restaurants. What makes Sushi Hana my favorite…..the personal touch in every order….the small informal nature of the restaurant and both the owner and the chef….having every dish be fantastic - full of flavor, fresh and making me want more. Over a span of 9 days I are there 4 times fir normal dinner service and once for Saturday onakase. Each visit made me want to come back again for more. I really look forward to my February visit again. What did I like - every single nagiri item, the wide tempura choice, the miso soup (OMG- absolutely vest ever), the salads, the sake, and more. Go there….enjoy!

   We went for the Omakase on Saturday night and it was extraordinary. Service, food quality & preparation, all masterful. Felt like going to church of sushi.

   Excellent Saturday Omakase experience. Our second time and we are planning on coming back Dec/Jan for the winter season Omakase. The team was very welcoming and shared an excellent evening of hospitality with us. Excellent fresh fish, each of us was filled with such joy through this amazing meal. You will not regret this if you love sushi and want to explore more than common rolls and nigiri!

   Hidden 💎 Owners are sincere about their works and each one of their dishes is outstanding. Quality of fish is excellent too and you may feel like you are in Japan. Thank you for being there.

    Having lived on the Big Island for 18 months, I can guarantee that Sushi Hana is without doubt the best dining experience you can have - and we have eaten at all the high-end hotels. The only caveat is that my experience was the Saturday-only Omakase. The restaurant receives fresh fish from Tokyo Saturday morning so this is the best day to go; my understanding is that other days of the week it is more like a regular sushi restaurant. Of the 12-15 dishes I think most would stand up well to their Japanese equivalents, the only two that would have been better in Tokyo or Hokkaido were the Ebi (prawn) and Uni (Sea Urchin); the Ebi was a Canadian prawn but the Uni was was Japan. Uni is seasonal and I have tried at least 10 varieties in Japan, as well as Santa Barbara and Maine in the US. My Japanese partner was really impressed as well. A good sign was to see them grating a wasabi root as we walked in, so many US sushi places don't offer real wasabi. For example at Kenichi (near Kona) you have to know to ask for real wasabi and pay extra for it (but it's worth it). The sake options were also ok, though can't really match the variety in Japan. If you want to drink Sake on the Big Island, there is a Sake Brewery and Japanese restaurant (Engawa) at the Golf Clubhouse of the Westin Hapuna. It makes 10 different Sakes and is a fun dining experience. They only serve 6-8 people for the Omakase so book well in advance. You will have an outstanding meal at Sushi Hana.
