Very excited for this restaurant (or any restaurant for that matter) to open so close to where I live! Ozone Park is pretty much a food wasteland so any addition is exciting. Checked this place out during non peak lunch hours (around 3 pm) on a Wednesday. I expected it to be pretty empty but there were quite a few people there! The decor inside is pretty interesting – I think they are going for a semi swanky lounge vibe with an emphasis on purple. There are also 4 huge TV's playing a variety of stuff so even if you come out not liking the food, at least you will be entertained.
Our waiter was friendly and took our order on an iPad (fancy). The food itself was pretty good – we ordered tuna tataki, fried oysters, the belt parkway roll (love the name), and the yellowtail & jalapeño roll. I also ordered two more rolls afterwards because we were still hungry. Everything tasted delicious, fresh, and the presentation was nice. I will definitely come back for the food.
However, service although friendly was really slow. At one point, it took ten minutes to flag down the waiter and there were other staff members who were not very attentive. The food also took awhile to be brought out, which makes me worry about returning during a busier time. The prices are reasonable but expensive for the area (our total was around 70 dollars). Regardless, I hope to return and am looking forward to a better experience!
This place is like a New York restaurant on Crossbay Blvd., it has music videos playing, televisions for games, big booths, and a classy bar. I felt very underdressed coming in jeans. The staff was very nice so the stars aren't against them, it's against the food. I received WARM sushi, the rice didn't taste right, and the Tuna tasted very fishy. I think the only part of the meal I enjoyed was the miso soup, and the helpful waiter, I think without him this place would receive two stars.
Take-out experiences only…
First time I came here, I ordered sushi to go. The restaurant was rather empty as it was a weekday. I carried my dog in and ordered 2 sushi rolls – out of control & shrimp tempura. I waited outside as I did bring my dog. It took exactly 20min for my order to be ready. The shrimp tempura was very large and fell apart as soon as i picked it up. Out of control was much smaller in size and tasted okay – nothing to really brag about. I will probably order the shrimp tempura again as it packed the most flavor.
Second experience, I ordered shrimp pad thai. I ordered prior to arriving and was told 20 min. I arrived at the 20 min mark and ended up waiting an additional 15 min. Not sure if they forgot my order, but it definitely was not ready. The restaurant was at capacity with over 10 patrons waiting to be seated, so i guess it was alright (Friday night). They should balance their orders considering mine was take-out. Anyway, this pad thai was by far the strangest i've ever had. It definitely lacked the deliciousness that pad thai brings. This version was loaded with huge slices of red and green peppers, white and red onions. The noodles were well cooked but lacked flavored – the peppers overpowered the dish. The shrimp was fine – hard to mess that up. I definitely will not order pad thai from here again.
Okay sushi. Not so okay pad thai. Okay service (take out). Average prices.
Happy dining!
Excitement filled me when I discovered that a Japanese/Asian Fusion restaurant was opening up on Crossbay. Residents of Ozone Park are fully aware of the limited (good) food around, so this was a nice surprise. Not long after its grand opening, we gave Hana a try.
We walked in to a fancy room with white furniture, huge TV screens with music videos and sports playing and lighting that gave the venue a club/bar kinda vibe. Our server seemed a bit nervous, possibly new to the industry, but he was friendly … (and at times nowhere to be found). We ordered the salmon carpaccio, a sashimi entree and some rolls, all of which tasted unexpectedly fresh. We also ended with a green tea ice cream but were left extremely confused because it was paired with whipped cream and chocolate fudge. We would've preferred the ice cream, like our sushi, in its most natural state rather than with extra coating.
Besides the ice cream, the dinner was rather enjoyable. We even ordered take-out another time, but it didn't include any dessert 🙂
