Sake No Hana

“Sat at the bar for happy hour. So beautiful inside and the service was great. Sushi was so fresh. Only thing is , I wish they gave full sized wings instead of halfs..but I will definitely be coming back for their regular menu.”

“Really enjoyed our visit to Sake No Hana. The extensive and thoughtfully curated dishes are most certainly the highlight. We had the Smashed Cucumber Salad, Grilled Maitake Mushrooms, Karaage Chicken, the extensive selection of Sushi, the Grilled Salmon, the Green Vegetables Fried Rice, and the roasted vegetables Asparagus were all great. We had the privilege of experiencing the Neopolitan pizza of Susumu Kakinuma of Seirinkan, a legendary Tokyo-based Pizzeria who was visiting and hosting a pop-up at Sake No Hana for just this week. The ambience is exceptional even though it was incredibly busy on a Thursday evening.”

“Sake No Hana is a staple in NYC! It’s easily become one of my favorites and is truly one of the only restaurants that gives you a 5 star experience. My significant other LOVES Japan and has been to Tokyo to try the pizza there. I booked us a reservation for the opening day of the pizza pop up and we were so excited! We were greeted warmly and were sat with a great view of the dining room and all the action. Our server Ari was very attentive, hospitable and walked us through the menu with ease. She gave us great recommendations and provided us with realistic updates on the status of the pizza since it was a very busy night. We ordered some sushi rolls and other items off the regular menu which gave us some time to digest and then when the pizza came out- we devoured it in minutes! Pizza is my favorite food and this was the best I ever tasted. I’m still drooling thinking about it! It really felt like the entire team went above and beyond to make sure the guests had a unique experience and no one skipped a beat. Management was on point; interacting with guests, touching tables, and checked in on us many times. Jesse and Michael are so knowledgeable of all things Sake! You cannot go wrong with any of their recommendations. There was always a staff member or manager close by incase anyone had any question and they were eager to help. Shout out to Julian, Tricia, Anna, and Leah as well for the lovely service! From beginning to the end of service, you can feel the hospitality and the passion coming from this room and the staff. Can’t wait to be back again soon!”

“Had a great experience at Sake No Hana. The best appetizer by far was the spicy tuna tartare, and the bluefin tuna with ponzu was crack—so fresh and flavorful. We also tried the tacos (yellowtail, toro, and lobster). They were delicious and beautifully presented, though not my absolute favorite, still very good. For the main course, we ordered the ribeye with vegetable fried rice, and it was cooked to perfection. The flaky salt and accompanying sauce paired extremely well with the rice and elevated the dish. For dessert, we had the chocolate soufflé, which was also delicious. Overall, beautiful presentation, really good service, and amazing food. The only downside was that we had an 8:30 pm reservation and weren’t seated until 9:00 pm, but it was Valentine’s Day so it was understandable.”

“Overall the WORST service I’ve had my whole life. The rest of the staff was very nice but our waiter was horrible. She greeted us for drinks 20 mins after we sat. I don’t even know her name because she didn’t share it with us during her greeting. We asked for sodas two times and they never ended up coming so we cancelled them since we had finished eating in the meantime. She only checked up on our food one time and the second time she came to our table was to rearrange our plates which was SO odd. She moved all the plates and said she just likes to “make it better”. We spoke to who seemed like the manager to grab our check after waiting over 30 minutes for soda and he came back with 0 hospitality. We ordered a bunch of food. The guys who brought out the food were amazing and the food was truly so great but the service definitely ruined the experience.”
