Comment: Absolutely phenomenal experience. First of all our waitress was perfection. Asked for my steak cooked rare in my bento box and it rivaled that of much more expensive restaurants Ive been to! Also the bento boxes are HUGE. We only went for lunch. Try the sexy jalapenos! They were literally a party in my mouth. Five stars for the entire experience

Comment: A huge menu of Japanese and random Asian dishes (pad Thai!). The ambience is dark, and loud. The food comes pretty fast. The dishes were well made. Try the sake sushi, the poke bowl, and seaweed salad, as they were all good. They added a 20% tip automatically, for a party of three.

Comment: Really good hibachi. Shrimp from hibachi is always good but theirs were large and so fresh tasting. I had a combo shrimp and salmon and the salmon was also delicious. This was probably the best hibachi I’ve been to, it really tasted like the food was the important part and not just a byproduct of the show—actual care goes in to the ingredients.

Comment: My first time there in the 30+ years of living in the Capital District and it did not disappoint. Enjoyable experience with awesome food.Service was a little slow but they were packed. Luckily, my party sitting at the Hibachi table made the everything prepared right there entertaining and fun. Chefs love to combine visual tricks while preparing the food.Big selection of different items to try from; loved the Hibachi steak with noodles!

Comment: First time visit to Hana on Sun. Apr. 2, 2023 5pm. We chose to go because we were told that their Happy Hours was very good. And my bride picked here from our need-to-visit list. Hana Happy Hour is from 4:30-6:30pm Sun-Fri. We went to one of two bars in this large restaurant.This was the smaller & quieter one. The other is larger in the dining area where you can seat and watch your sushi /sashimi being prepared.We ordered our first drinks with the friendly bartender, Mia. My bride had a glass of house pinot grigio ($4.HH, reg $5.50) and I had a well tequila margarita on the rocks ($3.HH, reg $5.). We felt this was a good value. Note: this is a full service bar w/ many options. We had 3 dishes from the HH choices - spring roll ($3), spicy yellowtail roll ($5, reg $6.50) & chicken yakitori $4, reg $6.) and 2 regular appetizers Gyoza ($7.) & Beef Negimaki ($9). All were very well present and brought to us at a leisurely pace.Mia was very helpful as we navigated some new-to-us items on the menu. Note their are 10 HH items to choose from here.Total was $50. for the two of us. We feel that Hana is a very good value.Monday - Friday 11:00AM - 03:00 PMMonday - Thursday 03:00PM - 10:00PMFriday 03:00PM- 11:00PMSaturday 11:00AM - 11:00 PMSunday 12:00PM -10:00PMThank you again to Mia. We will visit again soon and explore the other bar/dining room and various other menu items.Than k you. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY

Comment: First time going here. Went for dinner on a Monday around 6pm. Wasnt busy. We didnt do the hibachi table, rather just had normal table service. Food was good. Apps and entrees were good. Service was good. Dessert was very reasonably priced and also good. We didnt make it in time for any of the happy hour specials, but from the tent on the table, they have some pretty good happy hour specials. Definitely worth a trip if youve never been.

Comment: This was a very nice place, clean, nice atmosphere. I think the presentation or show by the chef used to be longer, seems a little quick now. My chicken wasnt completely cooked thru but everything else was very good. I would say they use a little too much salt in the food. Other than that, its a great place to bring the family.

Comment: We had a private table in the back for a birthday party and it was clean/spacious to fit 12 people. The food was made before our eyes and was absolutely delicious by talented (and funny) chefs! Catching the veggies in our mouths and the Saki streams were totally fun and hilarious 😂! Would definitely go back for more fun and good food!

Comment: Went to celebrate my best friends birthday & our chef was AMAZING, i unfortunately dont remember his name! He was really entertaining & generous with the Sake and also had a bottle of sprite (we think) for the people who didnt want alcohol. The food was cooked very well. I had the Miso Soup, Steak & Shrimp with Hibachi Rice. The soup was flavorful & delicious, the steak & shrimp were cooked well, and the rice was really good as well. I had the Green Tea Fried Ice Cream for desert, it was delicious!!My friends had hibachi noodles and they were just ok, nothing special. They would have preferred the rice after seeing both made. I still give 5 stars because my meal, with the rice, was absolutely delicious & the service was excellent. He ended the meal with a balloon hat for the birthday girl!Very generous portions, even for the kids meal. I took half home and had it the next day for dinner. It was still very good the next day,

Comment: Some of the best sushi we have ever had! The presentation is top notch! We also ordered a bento box which had many different items to try. The clear soup had amazing flavor and the lemongrass hot/sour soup was incredible. We opted to do regular dinging vs the hibachi side which has a nice cozy dining experience. The hibachi side seems super busy and everyone appears to be having a blast. The staff does a great job considering how busy it is and we had minimal wait for our food

Comment: Went on Valentines Day, and yes it was busy and at full capacity. Hibachi has always been a treat for me because of the fresh ingredients and lively entertainment of the Chef. Hana is a go to place for hibachi and value, however, watch for crowds, you may wait have to wait to be served.

Comment: This is a fun place to go for a birthday, especially for the kids. They dont just cook in front of you, they put on an entertaining show. We had Mike, and he was great. He joked around, made fire on the grill, tossed food at us (in a fun way), and squirted saké into our mouths (water for the kids). He even made a balloon hat for our daughter. Since it was her birthday, they even brought out a free, fried ice cream. The food is pretty good as well. It gets noisy, so if youre not into that, this place isnt for you. But if you dont mind and want to have fun (birthday, or no birthday), this is the place to go.

Comment: The classic hibachi table experience makes for a lot of fun. The food quality was VERY good, pacing was good (a bit on the rapid side but not overly rushed). Spinning egg, onion ring volcano, flying shrimp, sake shots...lots of energy and excitement very well executed. We were there for a group/work function which accommodated 24 attendees at 2 grouped tables (2 hibachis back to back) and 1 un-grouped table...but the un-grouped hibachi table was in the same room so it didnt feel completely detached. Service was extremely efficient and they were able to handle the variety of drink and food orders without issues.

Comment: Great aesthetic. Food 3.5/5 could be a bit better. Prices arent unreasonable, but it does get very hot in the hibachi room and all 4 tables are in the same room, so expect background noise. Id give it a 3.5 overall but definitely like a 5/5 at the bar. Great bar atmosphere. The back room of the restaurant has always been closed when I go.

Comment: I am given them a four because we sat for over ten minutes and the waitess said she didnt see usWe were sitting next to the bar? We ordered before happy hour was over but didnt get all our order until after happy hour. We ordered more and had to pay full price. My suggestion is get someone in the place to help out the young lady behind the bar. Today is July 31,2022. Ordered shrimp and brown rice. Salty an I paid 14 dollars for a few shrimps. Im very disappointed with my food. Today I gave them a 2. Maybe its better to eat in than ordering to pick up?!

Comment: The food was amazing! The waiter was attentive. The only issue I had was one of the cooks (went with a big group so we had 2 cooks) was ridiculously rude and complained when we asked him to cook the meats a little longer so there wasnt any pink. Other than that one rude cook it was a good and fun experience. 8/10 would recommend and go again.

Comment: Good Service. The hibachi chef made everyone laugh and made sure we had a good time. He did forget one plates chicken and another server brought it out separately. The hibachi chef then spilled a cup of water all over the grill, lol. We were not upset at all and laughed it off. We visited here for my daughters birthday. I havent been in awhile so it was cool.The bathroom could use some updating. For example the paper towel roll is one you have to touch to get the paper out when it gets stuck. This should be hands free. It would also be nice if you didnt have to touch the door handles.

Comment: ABSOLUTELY THE BEST JAPANESE FOOD I HAVE EVER EATEN!!!We eat there all the time! Even through Covid its the only place we ate and do eat out at! Super conscious about cleaning tables and chairs all last fall we ate on the deck.They practiced social distancing wore masks etc. felt very safe! The food is fantastic love their sushi, rice and tempura vegetables. Much better than Koto’s watch out Twice i got the sushi boat $100 and it tasted like mold! that was it never again! Started going to Hana’s and fell in love with the food! Servers are real nice!! A+++++++BEST JAPANESE FOOD WITHIN 200 miles of Albany!!!

Comment: Over all I had a good time with my family today. This was my first time ever experiencing hibachi. The chef was super kind and a lot of fun. He put on a show I wont soon forget! When I needed something I felt very comfortable asking the hostess or any of the staff. They took care of us.Very happy but if I were to be honest maybe the vegetables I had were a little on the burnt side? However I still have to give five stars because the chef was so nice and was super passionate about making sure that we were all having fun.Would go back just to see the fire trick again. That fire blasted up so high! My one year old son was in amazement the look on his face was hilarious.Thank you to all the staff at the Hana. Perhaps I will be back soon.

Comment: I had a fantastic time dining at this restaurant. I was quickly sat at a regular table and was impressed with the menu. Large selection of cocktails.I had the chicken yakitori appetizer which was fantastic. Super savory and tender.For my entree I had the Grilled Filet Mignon which I can not reccomend enough. It comes with a yakiniku sauce that is very savory, sweet, and has a little bit of pepper in it. It pairs fantastically with the meat, which was unbelievably tender.Additionally I also sampled two pieces of sushi, and they were the best that I have had in town.I really enjoyed my time here, and plan to be back regularly!

Comment: 2 Things to keep in mind1. Always make a reservation before you go2. Learn how to use chopsticks (Or eat with fork)This place is amazing for Food, hibachi and the ambience.I loved the way we were treated. It can be little more expensive than expected as theyd add Tax and tips by themselves in the final bill. Over all, Great experience.

Comment: The hibachi experience is the Same as a lot of other places but the chef was more fun than usual I think. The food was also better than some of the others I have been to. The sushi rolls were made really well. I did not care for the miso soup. Didnt take away from the experience.

Comment: My family and I always come here a few times a year to celebrate birthdays and we always get the hibachi. Our chef was hilarious and wonderful, very engaging with everyone seated ( we were sharing with another family of 6). I always try and recommend Hana to people be abuse the food is good for the price you pay and Ive never really had a problem with the staff or the cooks. I look forward to the next time we return.

Comment: Huge shout out to my groups server! She was still in training, but Hana was so busy she was going solo already. It might even have been her first night. She was great. Fun, friendly, and kept drinks full, and food coming.Our Habachi chef was excellent as well. Worth the wait on a busy night. The food was delicious. I got the steak and noodles. Next time Id try the seafood, fried rice and the sushi options.Confession - I have never been to a Habachi grill before. I was impressed with Hana, but keep that mind :)

Comment: Good food, very entertaining, but should go with a fun group. If you are not looking at interacting with the chefs, it may not be the place for you. Beer selection could use improvement but sake selection seems good! Really enjoyed the hibachi scallops and swordfish combo. Fresh swordfish, and huge scallops. Have been twice and would go again. Can accommodate BIG groups.

Comment: Everything was great xcept the chicken. One star off for that.updt after owner response: it was rubbery after being cooked on the hibachi, maybe it was previously frozen and had gone bad. makes sure your chicken is fresh and cooked long enough.

Comment: Food was good and the service was nice. They had some unique food options but also the traditional hibachi menu. I ordered a udon stir-fry which came out good. The atmosphere is very nice with low lighting and cool lights with transitional Japanese aesthetics. The down side is they do seem to be more expensive compare to the average Japanese restaurant.

Comment: A solid choice. The drinks are good, bar tender did not seem to go lite on the pours. It is however a popular place and they always seems to be working hard, which means noise. Tough for a date where conversations are key but great entertainment. Steak is cooked well flavor and temp wise. Sushi looked and tasted fresh. Friday may I however suggest reservations.

Ive never had the hibachi here but every time Ive seen other customers at hibachi tables they always seem to be having a great time. The service is fast and friendly there are lots of great options for sushi and drinks 5/5 would highly reccomend!

Comment: Really wonderful. The service, the atmosphere, and the food! Weve been to many Asian cuisine restaurants in the Capital Region and elsewhere throughout the country. This one ranks right up there. We started with shrimp tempura and then had several sushi rolls--some traditional and some special--and then fired ice cream. GREAT meal!

Comment: The food here was great and portions were generous. There are four hibachi tables in a room that should probably have two. Seating is a little closer to the grill that Ive seen in other places, but it didnt take anything away from the experience. It would have been a bit crowded, I think, if all four tables were filled.

Comment: This is our date night go to. The service is decent but the food comes out fast and its tasty every time. Weve done both the hibachi and the regular table, and both are good. Most times we have a table ready right away, but once or twice we had to wait and the host didnt take our names - just told us to sit and wait. That night was busy, so we gave them credit however annoying it was. Im still a regular customer.

Comment: Overall had a great time with a group of co-workers. They ordered Hibachi, and I ordered sushi. I found the staff to be quite pleasant, and attentive to my large group (16). Multiple waitresses were vigilant to ensure everyone was taken care of. The hibachi grill and chef were playful and fun. Typical Hibachi antics. The sushi was decadent. The fish was supremely fresh, and the sushi was delicate and flavorful. Give this place a go, but beware they are pricey.

Comment: We celebrated a friends 40th birthday. A great time was had by all. The food was excellent, the wait staff was attentive and the chef was highly entertaining. After looking at some of the other reviews, I was a little worried. Honestly, I think some of those reviews were bogus. Perhaps some local competitors?? I would highly recommend the hibachi dining experience to a friend. Kinda hoping my husband took the hint and plans my birthday dinner here!

Comment: This was my first time at an actual hibachi grill and my verdict about this place was that it was really good. The place was spacious and actually had that Japanese/oriental feel, because everywhere you walked, there would be some kind of Japanese artifacts. Came here with a group for a meeting, so we had a private room. I sampled some of their appetizers and it was pretty good, especially the vegetable tempura. For the main course, I had salmon with noodles cooked in teriyaki sauce and everything was cooked right in front of me. The “fire show” was very entertaining, but make sure you have your eating skills because the chef will cut a piece of cucumber and try to throw it in your mouth with the hibachi grill spatula. I wouldn’t mind going again if I had the chance.
