"Make sure you are not in a hurry, and to bring your own soy sauce dish when you decide to visit Hana. We though to give this place a try as our favorite taco place across the street had a line of people waiting out the door when we got there. No so at Hana. When we entered the restaurant at the peak of the lunch rush hour there was only one other table occupied. Maye this should have been a hint already. We were seated and given menus when our waitress disappeared without taking drink orders. What seemed like over 10 minutes went by before she came back and ook our drink and lunch order. The drinks arrived after another rather long wait, but so signs of any food. So more waiting did, and some more that and finally, after 30 or so minutes some sushi started up be coming from the sushi bar. With the first order being served we asked for chop sticks and soy sauce dishes as neither were available at our table. Getting the chop sticks took another few minutes but the soy sauce dishes never came. We asked again and were given two dishes to share for our table of 8. At this point all of us were slightly frustrated when I got up, went to the sushi bar and got 6 more so all of us could finally start eating almost one hour after being seated. The sushi itself was ok, the fish seemed to be fresh but the rice was definitely on the dry side. We quickly finished eating as we were a little under a time crunch. Further delays while paying put us at 90 minute from entry to exit. On the way to the nearby parking garage we all agreed that we would not come back to this restaurant, regardless of how long a wait there is across the street or at any one of the dozens of other restaurants in the proximity."
