So this is a Japanese-owned sushi place. That\nmight seem like a silly thing to mention but I've\nbeen to so many Korean-owned sushi places lately\nthat I take notice when a place is actually truly\nJapanese. I don't mind the Korean places just like\nI don't really care if a pizza place is run by \nAlbanians instead of actual Italians. But there are\nsome menu items that you will only find in a Japanese\nrun sushi place. The Japanese run places are less \nconcerned with all sorts of fancy \""rolls\"" and are\nlikely to give you smaller sushi pieces because\nsushi is supposed to be \""hitoguchi\"" - meaning one bite\nand it all fits in your mouth. Some of the Korean sushi\nplaces give you huge pieces of fish that you can no way\nfit all in your mouth in one bite. Sure you get your \nmoney's worth but that's really not the point.\n   So I've been coming to Hana off and on for quite some\ntime. Sometimes the place is too crowded and our group\nends up sitting outside. It's nice if it isn't too hot\nor windy because it is much more quiet than in the actual\nrestaurant. \n   For appetizers, the kaki is pretty good if you're into\noysters. Agedashi tofu is also usually a good choice. I\nwas a little disappointed with their yakibuta - I guess only \nbecause I had a killer variation at another restaurant which \nI can't help comparing it to. \n   Sushi is always pretty decent and fresh tasting here. It's\npretty much what I come here for. I just check off the items\non the sushi list and let them roll in. If you get the eel\nsushi, that is usually the last item that comes because it is\nconsidered a little sweet because of the sauce - so that's like\na dessert. \n   Speaking of desserts, I always get the Hana An Mitsu - aloe\nvera, mandarin oranges, blueberries, and red bean paste with \na cherry on top. Most restaurants won't have this but this is\ndefinitely a very Japanese dessert. Tottemo Oishii desu. \n   Parking is easy to find since it's a mall but there's a bunch\nof restaurants in the same mall so you might not be parking close\nto the restaurant.
