Something possessed me to go in here on desperate hunt for sushi when I had only 45 minutes to spare.
Bad choice, Christina.
The interior is average but what pulled me in was that I saw that it was moderately crowded during lunch and had lots of pen air flowing through the place. Perfect for a quick solo lunch I thought. I went with two rolls and a miso soup. The soup was pretty good and not too salty but boy was I disappointed when I saw those rolls come out.
I had a spicy salmon cucumber and another that was tuna avocado with spicy red pepper. Even though they each came with 8 pieces, they were the smallest pieces you'll ever see with hardly any rice and little to no cucumber.I know that a high fish to rice ratio is suppose to be a good thing but I like my rice too and these rolls had hardly any! Not very appealing to the eye and not very tasty either. Both rolls were pretty bland and just not worth the price. I ended up paying 14$ including tip, very overpriced for the quality.
If you know me you know I hate wasting food so I sat there and ate my sushi forcibly and with regrets. While I've had worse sushi, this experience would probably be in there with some of the worst.
2 Stars only for really fast service and quiet location. Also, the hot food didn't look too bad so if you must come here, go for a bento box NOT sushi like my genius a$$ did.
The BF insisted on sushi so alas we found Hanabi. We had our food delivered so I never saw the establishment but I was supper impressed when the food only took 25 min to arrive. I live about 30 blocks away.
I liked my salmon sushi. I also had tuna and another fish. I thought they all tasted the same but I enjoyed it. Very filling rolls which made for a nice work lunch on Monday.
I also liked the Miso soup. I don't like lots of salt – it isn't good for you after all!
I would definitely order from them again!
I was quite impressed with my experience with Hanabi. I ordered from them on seamless and even though I live around 20 blocks away they were there in under 20 minutes. For $15 I got enough food for 2 people and leftovers for a snack the next day. The edamame was fine though a little under cooked and under salted for my taste. The miso soup had a decent amount of nori and tofu though the broth could have used a little bit more salt. We ordered a 3 roll combo which came with a salmon and avocado, tuna and avocado, and yellow tail and avocado rolls. Its a great deal for $11 and all of them tasted decent. It wasn't the best sushi ever but for $15 I'm not complaining, I'd definitely order from them again.
Everyone needs to be advised: this is not a fancy sit-down restaurant. If you take one look at this place, you'll realize it's a nicer fast food joint however it definitely has a niche in Manhattan where there are so many pretentious and overpriced options.
Here are the positives: it's unpretentious and you can find relatively "healthy" meal options under $12. Additionally, if you opt for delivery, it's super fast (30 mins and under) and very reliable.
Here are the negatives: you need to order at the counter and this isn't really a place you'll want to linger after the meal.
You weigh the options yourself and see what you think. I think it's a place that should stay.
As lunch/snack time approached, I entered my office and found the menu for Hanabi sitting on my desk. I stared at the menu for a moment and thought to myself " wow it was as if the food fairy knew that I was craving for sushi or rice!" After scanning through the menu, my mind was set on the Tokyo Fried Chicken Teriyaki with California Roll Bento Box lunch special. The restaurant is 5 blocks from where I work and normally I would trek it in hopes of burning some calories along the way and also to justify my splurging, however it was snowing so I ordered for delivery. The delivery was quick and my food showed up in no time.
The bento box was a good size considering that I work in Manhattan. The chicken was fried perfectly and came with an enormous amount of rice. The salad was fresh and refreshing. The California roll was okay and served its purpose as plain ole California rolls should.
This was a great deal and totaled up to only 10 bucks including delivery and tips. I would definitely order from here again and will try out their special rolls as well as combos.
3.5 stars. Decent bento boxes for dinner. $9 for each bento – lots of rice with a decent portion of chicken, small side salad and either your choice of tempura, gyoza, or California rolls. We got the teriyaki chicken with tempura and Japanese fried chicken with gyoza. I very much enjoyed the side salad with the refreshing ginger sesame dressing. The tempura stood out the most of the meal – very lightly fried and refreshing. Came with a piece of broccoli, sweet potato, fried onion and two pieces of tempura shrimp. Would definitely go back for the tempura. The gyoza and the chicken were OK. Both chicken dishes could have used more sauce. Lots of rice so the meal was pretty filling. Would like to come back for the tempura and to try the sushi on the menu.
We ordered delivery from here and I'm a fan!
Very reasonably priced fare, and good quality too. My bf got the Chirashi Sushi (bed of sushi rice topped with assorted fresh sashimi) for a mere $14.50 (i've seen other places have it for $20+! meep!) and also the Tokyo fried chicken. He said the sashimi was fresh and happily munched away.
I ordered one of their bento boxes- the Tokyo Fried Chicken and pork gyoza. Very large portion, with the chicken sitting atop the rice (maybe like 6 large pieces? NICE) and 5 gyoza, with a nice salad on the side. For $10, its a good deal.
Excited to order more from them! Good bang for your buck.
We are regulars at Hanabi-we order lunch to the office from here at least twice a week.
The delivery is always quick & accurate.
