Hana Tsubaki - Sacramento

My boys love eating here... these photos come from our recent visit. A beautiful family square for gathering and talking. The food is amazing, fresh and creative.

A bit on the expensive side but extremely good food. The daily specials are where you get the best bang for your buck, and they never dissapoint. Very nice staff and generally very fast service. The restaurant is quaint and modeled after traditional japanese interiors and is extremely nice..

The food last night was amazing sashimi and sushi was like butter, melted in my mouth. Had Nigery Urichen , Salmon, Tuna plus tempura all great. Did I mention the Saki that too !

We got there shortly after they reopened for dinner service at 5pm. Started with an order of unagi that was the worst I've ever had. It actually looked and tasted like it had been left over from the lunch service. For the entree we ordered the special dinner for 2 (pictured). It was all pretty good. I used to eat here all the time when I lived in Sac years ago. It was always top notch. This time it was just so-so.

I have been coming here since 1980. I am always disappointed when I have Japanese food anywhere else. This place is far better than the others. Salmon terriyaki is awesome. Many really good sushi rolls too. Someone once told me salad is just salad. I told them they need to try a salad here. You won't be sorry.
