"Small place, pretty plain inside. Mostly open area with tables and a sushi barCame in and was asked all you can eat or regular menu. Wasn't sure so they gave me both. Looked them over and decided to go with all you can eatThey do the ordering in rounds here, and you can do up to 4 rounds. They don't limit you but have Recommendations ofn3 rolls and 20 nigiri a round. They also have the standard AYCE rules about charging full price for unfinished items and riceOrdered 2 rolls and 8 nigiri to start. The Japanese lasagna baked roll is called crawfish over cheese and was good. Nice take on a classic. Also got the Tex mex roll and it was good but not as spicy as I'd hoped. Nigiri was good, fresh but small. Had all the usual suspects, tuna, salmon, yellowtail etc. I like more fish than rice and was opposite here but very tasty and freshFor round 2 I tried the shrimp tempura and tempura bananas. Both were excellent. You get 2 shrimps with the AYCE but was very light and tasty. Banal was really good and was my dessert. I only made it through 2 rounds. Service was a mixed bag. Server was friendly and very helpful. Answered all my questions and brought food with a smile. Only issue was he spent as much time making out with the hostess as waiting on tables. There was 3 tables while I was there, and we spent a lot of time waiting while they passionately made out, loudly kissing. I've been young and in love so I get it but was weird for sureI'd definitely come back"

"Was visiting Chicago and found this spot. When we got there it seemed like a cool sushi spot and I was really looking forward to it. The drinks were not that good. They tasted very sugary. The appetizers were good, but the service was terrible. Our waitress, Jess who was also the restaurant manager was terrible. She barely checked on our table. We were waiting there almost two hours before our one sushi roll came out. Then the next rolls came out about 20 minutes later and the waitress who brought it out didn’t even know what roll it was. It should be noted that tables that arrived after us were getting all their rolls before us, and not one at a time they were getting multiple rolls at once. It was at this time I asked our waitress Jess to cancel the remaining rolls and to give me the check. First she said she had to check with kitchen to see if she could cancel the rolls. Which is ridiculous if a customer wants to cancel an order they can, that’s how any other normal restaurant is ran. Then magically our remaining rolls were suddenly ready, and they said they couldn’t cancel them but they could pack them up to go for us. Then Jess said why don’t you want the rolls and why do you need to leave, do you have an emergency? I explained it was the service, I didn’t feel like going back and forth with the restaurant manager so I just paid the bill and left. If they are that hard pressed where they can’t cancel three rolls, let them have it. Based on the their customer service they won’t be in business much longer anyway. The sushi itself was decent, but the customer service was terrible. They need to hire a real restaurant manager that knows how to properly run a restaurant, if they want any chance at being successful"

"Osaka p83 is no longer. It is now called Hanna Tokyo and it's an all you can eat sushi bar with teppenyaki. We went for my daughters birthday because Osaka has always been our favorite hibachi place for celebrations. I made reservations for 4pm and they called me at 410 to see if we were coming and we had just pulled in (they have a 15 min grace period for being late). Keep in mind we made this reservation time because in the past this time is less busy and overstimilating and usually quicker for my autistic daughter. They sat us right away. Our waitress came and got our drink orders quickly and then we waited. It took probably 5 minutes to get drinks while being the only people in the restaurant. Then she came back and said are you guys ready to order or do you need more time. I said we were ready and she said I'll be right back. We waited for 10 min till my husband went and got her. At that point she said oh I thought you needed more time. She took our orders and left. This is where everything became so different from Osaka. We waited close to 30 min before we got our soups and our salads. While we waited at the table closest to the kitchen for our chef to come cook our food we sat and listened to all the waitreses in the restaurant laugh and talk and goof off in the kitchen while we waited. I got just angry enough to get up and go talk to them when our chef finally came out to cook our food. He started out with typical fire and a pretty off color joke which threw me but I didn't want to let that ruin my dinner. It's at this point things just went really really far away from hibachi. He goes on to tell us about his work life and he's been doing this for 17 years he was a manager here and there and a grill master blah blah blah and he's going on and on while he's telling us how he likes his fried rice and he uses a pepper blend and sprinkles it on and he likes his rice crispy so he's gonna cook it like they do hash browns. He cooked our rice in multiple ways over 10 min. He makes a homemade garlic butter he puts on everything and the 3 pepper blend. Those two things is how he seasoned the veggies, the rice and the steak. He also made chicorones out of the fat from the steak to put on our rice. Once he finally gave us our rice it was so crispy it was hard to eat. I didn't end up even eating mine. My husband drowned his in the yum yum sauce cause he had to make it softer. The steak and shrimp were cooked like I'm not even sure, it was a mess. Then at the end of his show he hands us a little slip of paper with his venmo and cashapp so we can tip him or we can tip him in cash. I about fell over and thought what in the actual F. I didn't send him a tip if anyone is wondering. I thought that was so off. All in all the experience went from a solid 10 with Osaka to a 3 for Hanna Tokyo. It honestly was just a terrible experience. Oh I do have to mention we did order sushi and that was good. Not Osaka level but it's good. I would go back for sushi and I might try them for hibachi again but just request not to have that guy."
