Haven’t been in years as I no longer live close but was nearby tonight so stopped with my family on 4. Luckily Sunday through Thursday from 3-6 is happy hour in the regular dining room. We got seated right away and the staff were friendly. I got a delicious lychee martini. My family shared miso soup, money bags (cute crab Rangoon), rock shrimp, spicy tuna roll, Philadelphia roll, rainbow roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Everything was fresh, delicious and came out quickly. Lots of lovely decor and mood lighting. All we got came to less than $50! I couldn’t believe the value honestly. Will absolutely return and highly suggest their happy hour specials.

Sam and Maddy were fantastic. I was passing thru town and wanted a quick, good sushi lunch. 🍣 read reviews. Went. Was very happy. Big plump rolls, hot miso.. cool place.. big bar. Easy parking. It's tucked away just above - up the hill from - the sheetz? Big gas station. It's one of the restaurants in the hotel. Has its own entrance in backside of hotel. Can't wait to go back. Lunch specials pricing great. There is an all you can eat I think too. 🤰🏼👍🏆🙌🍣

One of my favorite place to eat! The prices are fair and the foods are delicious! The service was wonderful, I’ve never had a bad experience. May I compliment the sushi chefs, I always sit at the sushi bar when I go and they are all incredibly nice. The dish decorations are soo pretty! I love the complimentary dishes they always give me and the recommendations are spot on. Very nice place with personable staffs, a great place to dine!

Food was nice and portions are huge. The only thing - the cheesy sushi decor could be left out.

Everything at Hana was amazing! The service at the bar was even better! We had Mia and she was very attentive to us. We ordered 6 different appetizers at different times and each one that came out felt like it was even better than the next!

As the Founder of the Albany Travel Society, I am thrilled to share that Hana Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar was the perfect venue for our inaugural dinner event. From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was electric, setting the stage for a memorable evening. We indulged in a delightful pre-dinner experience at the bar, savoring expertly crafted cocktails and tantalizing appetizers. The main event, of course, was the hibachi dinner. The chefs were incredibly skilled and entertaining, transforming our meal into a captivating culinary performance. The food was exceptional - fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a delight! Hana Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar undoubtedly contributed to the success of our first society event, and we look forward to returning in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend Hana to anyone seeking a fantastic dining experience. Sincerely, Lady Caitlin Magee Founder, Albany Travel Society

A huge menu of Japanese and random Asian dishes (pad Thai!). The ambience is dark, and loud. The food comes pretty fast. The dishes were well made. Try the sake sushi, the poke bowl, and seaweed salad, as they were all good. They added a 20% tip automatically, for a party of three.

My new favorite place for Happy Hour! The decor is delightful, Felicia is a perfectly attentive bartender and so very pleasant. The sushi is fresh and outstanding. Prices are unbelievably reasonable.
