Sushi Hanabi - Carindale

In Samuel Village, an array of smaller eateries are nestled side-to-side, with Sushi Hanabi perhaps being the most shy of them. Well, not too much to the narrative other than it is one of the many cheap Japanese eateries that is scattered around town. If you are feeling like something cheap, but aren't keen on compromising quality all that much, they have their place. As is the case with Sushi Hanabi For getting here, my house mate had a bet on a major, recent election, saying that if a certain person won it, he would go out and have a Japanese curry.

We wanted to like it...really! This restaurant is just up the road from us. We love Japanese food so we thought we'd give it a go cheap and cheerful and just up the road. What could go wrong right?

First time at Hanabi Sushi. I ordered the evergreen Katsu Chicken Curry. Larger than normal serve, chicken was flavoured really well, nicely cooked and tasty Staff are friendly and service is prompt when bring meals and drinks to the table We are moving to the area soon so it's nice to find these places close by.

Friendly staff. eating is ok, but nothing special, I have nothing against the chicken teriyaki dish and they were not stingy with the sweet. I wouldn't leave here.

Sushi rolls were delicious, but in any case overpriced for the serving served. we also had the karaage reisplatter, chicken pieces were really hard, so were the diligent. we wished by others to cripple before we decided to dinate, but we have starved. it looked like the chicken curry had been the better option. that said the waitress was really nice what a disappointing meal.
