Very fresh sashimi and oyster! The best sashimi and oyster i ever had in Vancouver. Excellent service.
We googled authentic Japanese food last night and one of the first reviews was this restaurant. We normally hit the Blue Water Cafe in Yaletown if we want premium quality sushi. Now I know I have another option! First of all, they use real wasabi, actual grated wasabi horseradish and not the powdered imitation crap you find it most sushi joints. Secondly, the sushi was not covered in a bunch of sugary sauces like you find in many Korean owned sushi restaurants. The sushi was extremely high-quality. People who are complaining about the quality of this restaurant have maybe never been to Japan, or experienced the joy of different cuts of high-grade tuna and specialized types of fish. Definitely an awesome little restaurant even though it's slightly expensive.
Sushi from heaven. The sushi here was fresh and tasty, their attention to detail surprised me, i must say this is on par with some high established sushi restaurants from Downtown Vancouver. The staff was friendly and it seemed very authentic. Overall I would highly recommend this place, it's a must try for a true sushi dining experience.
I must admit, I was not expecting this. I've driven past this place namy times only to dismiss it as another generic sushi place. I was so wrong. I love the attention to detail here. The sushi is made with a presentation style that I expect from a downtown fine dining type establishment. There are no "super volcano" rolls here. Just classics done with a eye for quality.
I quick note on pricing, I did find it a bit on the high side. But make no mistake, this is a superior sushi experience for Surrey.

The Prawn Tempura (2 pcs) was a delight with a crispy, light layer of batter and a skinny piece of prawn that had a good snap. The Sweet Potato Tempura had a nice sweet flavour and was cut to the right thickness. The Kabocha Tempura needed a bit more sugar, while the Green Bean Tempura was sufficiently soft and juicy
Top quality sushi. This place is definitely a hidden gem in the town of surrey. The food is a bit on the pricey side but it's worth every penny because the sushi literally melts in your mouth since it's so fresh. Friendly and attentive service as well. I come here time to time when I'm craving for good sushi.
Deeelish!. Went here before a trip to the mall for some Christmas shopping as it had pretty decent reviews. We were more than pleasantly surprised. Looks like nothing special inside...we opted to sit up at the bar so we could watch the chef and he was impressive. Order a few roles and some Bluefin Tuna as well as the dungeness crab salad (after seeing it prepared for another table) and it was fabulous! Worth the drive just for that (we live in White Rock). Everything else was wonderful as well...highly recommend the soft shell crab rolls. Enjoyed the food immensely as we sipped on our warm saki and the service was great too. Chef was friendly and talkative and answered all our questions even though he was quite busy. Will definitely go back!
Absolutely hands down delicious! Even the basic California roll is amazing. Love the tuna salad and the tuna gomae is really yummy too. Super fresh ingredients used to perfection. Always ask what's fresh and you'll get the best fish.
Best japanese restaurant in Surrey!!! Price is a bit high compared to other japanese restaurant but its worth it and trust me.. after you try fresh nigiris and salads from here, you will not go any other places!! And service is excellent here too. the crab salad and tuna tataki salad are my favourite. And they are always always fresh whenever i order. Hanako never disappoint me
The best and freshest sushi in Surrey! My favorite spot to go too for uni and amaebi nigiri.
Oh my God so sad to see the owner switch but I hear the chef is going to be the same. The sushi was delicious! The crab salad was something I wasn't expecting and it was super yummy. Their fish was fresh and the chef was super nice.
Would definitely definitely recommend everyone to come here at least once.
Hidden Gem Alert! The sushi and sashimi here is of extremely high quality and finesse. It is comparable to high end kaseiki experiences I have had. The rice to fish ratio is perfect. The flavors are clean and balanced. An amazing experience. Definitely a must try sushi place. Talent in sushi making lives here.
Very fresh, great quality fish. Flavour is light and the fish melts in your mouth. The restaurant has a quiet atmosphere and is modestly decorated, which makes for a peaceful evening of low-key dining. Portions are a bit small and pricey, but well-worth for the quality. Menu is limited and varies. Attentive service, tea is always refilled.
I would highly recommend the Hanako Chirashi—Regular or Special. The options vary slightly in the quantity and type of sashimi, but both include a satisfying variety in an appetizing presentation.
Really enjoyed our experience. It is a little bit on the expensive side but it was a good date night location!
Here are the things we had n thought was good:
- warm sake was interesting and not too common. It had a slightly strong alcohol taste when it is warm.
- oysters were okay but there are probably better oysters places in Vancouver.
- HAVE TO try their chutoro. It was so memorable. But it is indeed on the pricey side.
- we had a ume scallop(?) Maki and a negitoro maki and they were both good and cheap.
- hasn't tried but every other customer coming in has ordered a chirashi Don. It looked super good but we didn't have the stomach to get it that night.
Every dishes that we had were so fresh and delicious 😋 😍
Quality of foods are 10/10.
Server was super friendly.
Awesome place for family dinner! The quality of food was excellent and service was also very nice. I would definitely go back for more yummy Sushi!
Wow this place has fresh sushi. The service was great and the place is cozy. They have GF soya sauce as well.
Deliciously fresh sashimi! Higher end offerings not found in most sushi restaurants. Thank you, Chef Steven!
