My friends and I visited Sake No Hana during the holidays and were happy to find there was no wait. It was my first time trying pho and unfortunately, it wasn’t really to my taste. However, I also ordered the shrimp tempura sushi, which I enjoyed. The sushi had full shrimps on top instead of just a small piece inside, which was a nice touch. The cocktails were a highlight, they were very aesthetically pleasing and tasted pretty good. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and a nice spot to visit with friends during the holidays.
If I could describe my experience here with just 1 word, it would be “wow”. I had chosen this spot for a birthday dinner with my friends and it turned out to be such a great night. Originally, I had a reservation for a different TAO group restaurant but they had to cancel it as someone rented it out. To make up for it, the TAO group had offered a round of champagne here at Sake no Hana as I chose it as my alternative reservation. When I came in, I was in awe of how beautiful the restaurant was. One of my friends was running late and the staff were very kind and understanding and still allowed her to be seated. They were very professional and made my friends and I feel very taken care of all night. My group had multiple dishes to share and all were delicious and I took note of many dishes that I would want to come back for. Midway, the servers came out with 2 complimentary dishes (sashimi and a whole platter of steak) and that was just very kind of them and I can’t say thank you enough to their team. I won’t write out an essay to describe every dish I had but let’s just say it was amazing. The flavors and textures were a work of art really. The drinks themselves were so fun and so beautiful. I absolutely loved the bone marrow fried rice and would come back to eat it all by myself next time. The desserts were a fun twist as well! A little sweet for my taste but nonetheless yummy. Thank you again to the wonderful team at Sake no Hana, you’ve been so kind and generous and truly gave me such a wonderful birthday experience.
Came here in a group, we ordered the tempura, salad, bone marrow, steak, and an "omakase" sushi platter. Food here was good. Service was awesome, very attentive and gave us good suggestions. The ambiance here is classy and dark. Good date location. Over was happy with the food and experience. The sushi plate was definitely impressive and came with a good variety of items.
What a beautiful restaurant and bar. Great ambiance for just drinks or if you want a nice place for dinner.This is the place to come to. The food is delicious from the sushi to their specialty dishes.Every single dish was delicious and made to perfection. It can get very busy, so make sure to have reservations. The service was also impeccable, but overall, the entire experience was phenomenal. Totally recommend this restaurant
Visited Sake No Hana and had the wagyu sushi and uni and other dishes. The space is beautiful and the ambiance is trendy, but the food didn’t quite meet expectations. The wagyu was tender but lacked the rich flavor you’d expect, and the uni was just average. For the price, I was hoping for something more memorable. Service was really good, but overall, it felt more style than substance..
Came here to take my girlfriend out for her birthday and came out to what I think was the best food and service I have ever had. Giving credit to Matt our server who was very friendly and very helpful on navigating the menu as there are a lot of options to chose from but he made it easy. He gave us recommendations that we didn’t regret because we ate every last bite. The atmosphere is very nice and aesthetically pleasing if you’re trying to impress somebody. I can’t forget about the SAKE!! It was so good, it was something called “Dragon God” which the bottle server (I didn’t get his name) gave to us on the house as my girlfriend never tried sake before. It was sweet and savory. Nevertheless I can’t recommend this place more to anybody that likes great food and amazing service. I will be coming back eventually, thank you once again to the staff of Saka No Hana for an experience I will never forget.
