⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Turtle59
We’ve always have had excellent meals and great service. The sushi is always exceptionally fresh like it just came from the sea. We moved almost an hour away and still make the drive to eat at Hani Yori’s!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jorge Rodriguez

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Bear Sorensen
What a gem of a place, so glad we gave them a try. I love Lil mom and pop shops like Hana Yori. Awesome service, Tanya our waitress was fabulous. Very attentive, helpful, and sweet. We were craving sushi, and they nailed it. We split 4 rolls and a scallops and shrimp hibachi dish..phenomenal! Great Japanese food, and at a good price.. The atmosphere is mellow and comfortable, casual dress type place, the place itself is kinda quaint but I really love how they decorate their walls. They are completely covered with little wood tiles, that the guest themselves decorate. Really cool, and entertaining to read while waiting for your food. I'm gonna have to go back just to decorate one, because they were out of the wood tiles when we dined in. All good,gives me a reason to go back and get some more sushi and hibachi. If your into Japanese food, don't miss this place...ask for Tanya.

Food is consistently good. Cooked to order. Great sushi variety. Portion sizes were great. Good seasoning without being over spicy. Definitely try the white fish.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jenelle McKnight
I split my filet and shrimp plate, that's why it looks so small, but it really is a lot of food. It's hot and delicious and the service is great. Since my first time going 2 weeks ago, I've been there 4 times.
