Hanami Sushi - Auburn (CA)

5 /5 Cathy Wright: This is ALWAYS a favorite!! Hanami Sushi has authentic Japanese food, my husband lived in Japan for two years and this is his closest taste to Japan. We’ve been going here for 11 years… that says a lot!! Some out our kids moved to Southern California and STILL everyone they come to visit Northern California they have to stop at Hanami Sushi!!

3 /5 R Sr: For those who want it short I wouldnt go back here to try more menu items. There are other places that are consistent and good every time you go. We got a Hamachi spicy roll which was not spicy at all and hamachi was not fresh. The spicy Sashimi salad seemed very old with a fishy taste and smell. We really regret not sending it back. We decide on the no pain no gain roll, which was recommended by the waitress saying it was her favorite. We were trying to decide between that and another one. We regret getting that roll since it was extremely skimpy on the sashimi. Im talking almost paper thin and as big as my thumbnail slice on top. I regret not taking a photo of this. The only thing that was really good was the tsunami roll, but that was just not enough for us to go back and try other stuff. This visit to the sushi restaurant was very sad because people had said a lot of good things about it. We will say that the service and the people that work there were very nice. You might be able to make out in the photo that the fish looks dull and not as fresh and bright and color as most places.

2 /5 Bond GG: Food: The rice was very loose and lacked any special flavor. The sushi at Safeway is actually better. Service: I don’t understand why you needed me to sign for the tip before letting me go to the counter to retrieve my bank card. Atmosphere: Nice location in downtown Auburn.

5 /5 won yi: Ordered a Sashimi special B. Fresh and sumptuous! What counts most is the care by the chef. It was worth it , more than I asked for. The atmosphere is comfortable with the server who sounds articulate.

5 /5 Jerrold Garrard: Edit: Many years later and it is still always amazing. They’ve managed to keep up the quality, the great service, and a great attitude through this mess we call 2020… Always enjoy the experience here. Great agedashi tofu, wonderful rolls, and the family who runs it are really dedicated to a good customer experience
