Le Hana

Le Hana would be a great spot to catch your weeknight sushi fix in the South Waterfront area if they at least made decent sushi, but they don’t! What gets people in the door, and I guess coming back because there were plenty of tables full on a Tuesday night, is the ½ price sushi deal. As long as you order one drink/person, every roll on the menu is ½ off. Seems like a sweet deal…but there is nothing good about these rolls – not the quality of ingredients, taste or texture. Overall, the rolls were mainly rice, which would did not even stick together. They fell apart in the soy sauce – ugh.

We ordered:

Drinks:
Draft Sapporo and Pinot Noir - Decent pricing on beers, not on wine.

Starters:

Miso – The best thing we ate, however, it is served in wooden bowls. Since you eat directly from the bowl, I wondered how clean wood would get in the dishwasher, and how many people put their lips on them (the wood was cracking in places). Seemed a bit unsanitary…I wished for glassware at that moment!

Rolls:
Rainbow – So the taste/smell of this roll was so fishy I almost got sick at the table. Something was just not right here.
Spider – Nothing mentioned about being fried in the menu, yet it came with fried crab in the center. Huge disappointment.
Spicy Salmon – lifeless, no flavor.
Pickled Radish – mini-rolls, served in just the seaweed, no rice on the outside. Probably your safest bet at this place.

Needless to say I won’t be back, I don’t care what deals they offer.
