Hana Don Japanese Cuisine & Bar

We had a reservation for this quaint restaurant. The check in process was weird if you reserved online. We were put in the corner and almost... forgotten. Others who came in after were served before us. I had to get up for someone to address us. Food was tasty and filling. Not very attentive staff. Would get take out should I ever go back.

Their menu changed since the last time I came, but overall their donburi remains the same. The food remained consistent, but I dropped to 3 stars because of the service. It was very slow and inconsistent. We waited for a waiter to take our order for 20 minutes. After they took our order, both of our dishes did not arrive at the same time, and we couldn't enjoy our mealstogether. It was very awkward when one of us is eating while the other is waiting. By the time my brother finished his meal, my meal came. I noticed this similar behaviour the last time I came when it took the waiters a long time to show up. We would have to flag them to get their attention. I would still come back, but their service needs to be changed for things to be consistent and run smoothly instead of making the customers wait.

I had a great experience at this Japanese restaurant! I ordered the sashimi don, and it was fantastic. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the portion was generous, making it well worth the price. The presentation was beautiful, and each piece was perfectly cut and full of flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes on the menu!

I ate here yesterday night after work, I ordered a beef rice and the beef was super hard to chew, it’s like I am chewing the plastic. I asked the waitress to explain and they give me a new one. I am satisfied with the food return service but there is a waitress she seemed upset or something, no smile the whole time. And last night after I eat, I didn’t eat anything else, but I started to vomit and diarrhoea so bad. That’s a bad experience and I don’t think I will come to here again.

Unfortunately, everything we ordered was just below average in taste. While the presentation was decent, the overall experience didn’t justify the high price point. I expected more given the cost.

The team that served us was amazing and incredibly polite. They were very attentive to our needs and were also gentle when handling our table and its cluster of orders. Speaking of orders, we ordered: Ikayaki(GRILLED SQUID FOR THE WIN), Salmon Avocado Don& Mackerel(great taste from the soft texture of the salmon and how the avocado made it very hearty. The mackerel was superb too, not over cooked and not too salty. Just right.) And we also had an Unatama( nice and tender eels) & Sushi. I did a small side of veggie tempura too, for a little ASMR of crunches ahahaha. Regardless of what you pick, you'll definitely enjoy the colors of the dish and how the flavors complement each item.

We enjoyed our impromptu late dinner here. We had the Unagi and Gyudon sets. They came with sushi and miso soup. We also had the karaage and the fried oysters. The food was okay, I wasn’t really impressed. Also, my bowl had dried out (you could tell it was under the warmer for too long). The staff though were very accommodating and friendly. I do want to come back to try their other bowls.

It's okay. I've been three times and the char siu pork don is the best dish I've had there (it's probably a 4 star dish), but everything else was passable, but not good. It feels like it's a mall restaurant, which is fine, because it is, but I don't think that is what they were going for and the price is high for this level of flavour. The servers are all nice, but I've always had to flag them down to get the bill as I'm rarely checked on. But the place is always clean, welcoming, and cool on a warm day.
