Hana Japanese Bistro - Louisville

The food at this restaurant was very good, but the staff appeared to be more focused on getting customers in and out quickly rather than creating a friendly atmosphere. They never checked if we wanted more drinks (which we did) or offered us a dessert menu. We were in and out within 45 minutes. I cannot recommend this place. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $20–30

This restaurant gets a perfect score of 10/10 from me. The quality of the fish and the fresh wasabi remind me so much of Japan. The service was excellent, with a dine-in meal type for dinner priced between $30 to $50 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere all received 5-star ratings. I highly recommend trying the sashimi, miso soup, tuna, and rolls. There is plenty of parking available, including free street parking options.

I recently had dinner at this restaurant and had a fantastic meal. The price per person ranged from $20 to $30. I rated the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5. I highly recommend trying the delicious Miso Soup and Tuna Sushi Dinner.

After seeing the good reviews and because we are trying to sample all of the well-reviewed Japanese restaurants in the area, we got takeout from this place one recent evening. I ordered the deluxe sushi sashimi combo and was disappointed. The fish was just fresh enough, but only barely, the slicing and presentation of the sashimi and sushi was not very good, and the sashimi actually had a small portion of fish tail in one piece, which isn’t acceptable at all. The included sushi and dragon roll were all barely average as well. For the nearly $40 entree price before tax and tip, it left a lot to be desired. I also got some fried chicken and it was either actually calamari or was marinated in a way as to make the meat’s texture and color look different than any chicken I’ve ever seen. The miso soup was above average, at least. We have discussed trying again but this time, dining in. When I picked up the order, the restaurant itself was packed and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meal, so maybe takeout just isn’t their thing? All in all, though, we were pretty disappointed in our first experience. Parking: Parking lot was packed and the spots are spaced very close together.

We have eaten at Hana for about 8 years now and it is always wonderful. The staff is friendly and attentive and the food is consistently delicious and the fish is fresh. This is one of the best restaurants in the area. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
