We have eaten here a few times and always enjoyed ourselves. This time we did take out so there wasn't a place to the ambiance to choose from. But we have been here and the decor is nice and appropriate for a nice family run authentic Japanese restaurant.
We did take out this time. The food was all ready for us when we picked it up. First, I like the people. They are nice and try hard and to me that makes all the difference. They are Japanese. When I saw there last time our waitress/server was so nice. This time the owners wife was there and she was very nice. So for service I gave a five stars.
The food is very nice. The sushi chef is right there and makes it for you. The fish is fresh and the food from the kitchen was very good. We got the basics today, rolls, sushi, tempura, and an burdock root (I think it was, which was so tasty-deep fried root). So for food, for the three times we eaten here and done the take out, it has always been fresh and tasty. For the rolls, when the rice tastes fresh and not stale that is a big thing for us. Here, the rice is fresh. You can see them making everything.
For the cost, I would say it is very reasonable. It is not fine dining but the place is clean (which is always important), the people are very nice and try hard, the food is fresh and good quality, the location is convenient. Overall, I would recommend and I will be back to enjoy.
Overall, a very nice restaurant and good food.
I was shopping in the Lynn Valley mall and noticed Hanamaru Japanese Restaurant. I asked the staff and they said a new Japanese owner just took over. I love Japanese food so I sat myself down and looked over the menu. I was impressed!
I ordered an appetizer sunomono salad and a sushi combo plus a couple extra pieces of sushi. The food was delicious. The sushi combo had an assortment of sushi, rolls, and some tempura. It was great. My extra sushi of tako, tuna, and clam were super fresh and delicious.
The staff were very friendly and things were running very well (ie, I didn’t have to wait too long for my food). The servers were doing a great job. I used to work in a restaurant and understand how hard they work so I left a nice tip. The sushi chef was busy making sushi and it was fun to look thru the window to watch him make his sushi.
I would recommend Hanamaru Japanese Restaurant for some authentic, nicely priced, and tasty Japanese food.
Delightful!
This is a new Japan Restaurant located in the Lynn Valley mall, in North Vancouver. It was wonderful.
They did some renovations when they took over. The atmosphere was very nice considering it is in a mall. It felt like a real Japanese restaurant with real Japanese people working there.
The owner/sushi chef made us some fantastic sushi. We tried several different items from the usual rolls, to tempura, agedashi tofu, gyoza, and udon. The food quality was super. For us it is the food that makes it or not for a restaurant and this food was fantastic. The food prices were very reasonable too. They even have a kids meal for those with little ones. I also got some sashimi after and it was so fresh. I wanted more.
All the staff were great. The server who helped our table was so great. She was very sweet and did a great job so we gave a big tip.
Overall, I thought the people, atmosphere, and especially the food was fantastic. Our family will definitely return to Hanamaru Japanese Restaurant.
Wonderful!
