Sushi Hanada - Port Hueneme

Great service. Came with my husband and we both ordered the sushi and sashimi, but I wish I had ordered the omakase. It's not on the menu but we saw another couple order the omakase and the variety of fish was much greater than the entree we ordered. No frills at this spot, but I appreciate their commitment to traditional Japanese style cuisine.

I have been eyeing this place for a while and after my trip to Japan, I have been craving really good sushi so I figured I’d finally give this spot I try. The main sushi chef was not the friendliest my friend and I sat at the table, but then decided that the sushi bar would be a better choice so we asked the waitress, and she said yes, and as we started to move our things, the sushi chef shouted “no” said something in Japanese to the waitress and then she apologized to us and said we couldn’t go to the bar. which I will say, the bar was completely empty. But okay no big deal we stayed at our table. The waitress was very sweet about the whole thing. I felt bad for her more than anything. Most of the fish were pretty decent. I will say my favorite was the scallop.

A very small typical Tokyo style sushi shop. Owned and run by Mama, she was super nice and helpful. Fish was fresh and delicious recommendations of what is in season. Tokyo style sushi which means fresh fish and rice, not deep fried rolls and spicy mayonnaise. Highly recommend for sushi lovers!

An acquaintance had recommended Sushi Hanada to me and I had been wanting to try it for years. The vibes here are amazing: it’s a little hole-in-the-wall spot with jazz music and an unpretentious sushi bar. There were few people there when we went so we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Our server spoke very little English but we got by. The food, however, was terrible. The restaurant smelled like spoiled fish the moment we walked in, and the sushi sashimi was not fresh. We spent over $200 for two people and left feeling hungry and disappointed.

Atmosphere was nice since there was no one really there. Ordered beef teriyaki, it was ok. Softshell crab, was way too mushy, so was the “fried” calamari, pancake texture. Honestly the food was bad. And I never really complain about places. I would not recommend this place, UNLESS you have never had sushi before and you don’t know what it is supposed to taste like.Beer was good! Will not be coming back to this place, sorry.
