Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa Reviews
How can I even describe how much I love the food,
How can I even describe how much I love the food, atmosphere, and staff here? If I lived nearby, I'd happily come twice a month. I've tried more than 15 omakase around the world, and Hana Re's appetizers are by far the most creative an

My friend and I came here to celebrate her milestone birthday. This review is overdue, but didn't want to completely forget the exceptional experience. We had a wonderful time here. It was my first time and memorable for special occasions. Our

Fantastic experience at Hana Re! 7 seat counter to watch
Fantastic experience at Hana Re! 7 seat counter to watch the Master Chef Yokohama work, 10 people max. Yes, very intimate! We were early and scored the center counter spot and enjoyed every bit of it. The hostess was fabulous as well. Order some sa
Confused about negative reviews.
..if I had more money, I'd come here more often. But really, if you saved a dollar per day for 250 days. You can eat at least twice a year. Math checks out. Food tasted exquisite and had a phenomenal experience. Would definitely recommend not
Amazing ambiance and service; this is the 5 star omakase
Amazing ambiance and service; this is the 5 star omakase experience. In my opinion, ch f Yokohama deserves more than 1 Michelin star for his creations. This is the place we come to to celebrate life's milestones with exquisite food.
This was my first time at an omakase.
We were a party of 4 and came here on a Wednesday night for my friend's birthday. It was definitely an experience that I won't forget. The place is really low key and had a really amazing atmosphere at the store. We were served 10 courses a
Went here for my friend birthday.
Totally disappointed. They sat us at the table instead of sushi bar without noticing us. Didn't feel like we had Omakase. Food was mediocre and overpriced for what we paid. I would not recommend this place. 2 stars for the service.
I took my boyfriend here for a birthday dinner recently
I took my boyfriend here for a birthday dinner recently after seeing that it has good reviews. It was both our first time at an omakase, so we weren't sure if taking pictures would be rude and decided to just enjoy the moment. The place is small
Made reservation for 5pm seating on Friday.
We were the only 2 people in the bar in this small restaurant that seats 8 in the bar and 2 table tops. For $250 per person it was an amazing experience as the fish served were both beautifully done. The flavors were delicate and balanced.
Really enjoyed my visit to Hanare.
Logistics - it is located in the LAB anti mall - if you drive into the main parking to it is int he back right corner - Building C - which is all gray currently. If you see the restrooms just look to the left. The parking lot gets really full so plan
Hana Re is a tucked away gem in THE LAB Anti-Mall space.
You have the option of being seated at a dining table or at the sushi bar. We opted for the sushi bar for the omakase experience and it was so delightful. The chef explained and showed us each of the main ingredients for the different courses which I

This restaurant truly felt like a secret - a literal hidden gem! Hiding within a colorful metal shipping container is a minimalistic and intimate space. We sat at the chef's counter to watch Chef Atsushi live in action - He left us melting in awe the
Excellent birthday dinner.
Flavors, textures and plating was wonderful. Good service and nice intimate ambiance. Still thinking about this, from last night well deserving of their Michelin star
So legit.
Understated design in the restaurant but the food was the star of the show. Every dish that came out was amazing. It's a fun play on traditional omakase with them mixing in Wagyu beef, chawanmushi (egg custard), soups, etc. You will not walk out o
Agreed with all the 5-star reviews.
Food was out of this world. Every hot dish was perfectly seasoned! Seafood was fresh, and the portion was generous from crab meat to uni. Quality & taste - 5* All servings - roughly 16 Leaving this 1-star Michelin restaurant very full, very satis
Tucked in the corner of the lab in Costa Mesa, we wanted to
Tucked in the corner of the lab in Costa Mesa, we wanted to see if Hana re was worth a visit and we found ourselves a pleasant dining experience at this one star Michelin. We were greeted by the hostess and were seated at the sushi bar. We opted for
Celebrated our anniversary and my birthday dinner here.
It's a very small place located in the LAB in Costa Mesa. It's blended into the background pretty well so might be hard to find at first especially since the sign is fairly small. I think it only seats 14 people max. They told us the service can last
Great food, decent customer service.
I took 1 star off because it took forever to get our water filled. It was empty for at least half an hour. For a Michelin restaurant, we expected a little bit more. Other than that, we had a good experience.
Came here the day after Valentine's Day to celebrate
Came here the day after Valentine's Day to celebrate belatedly. We made reservations in advance, which was easy (can be made via texting). We came on a Wednesday for dinner, so parking was easy. Normally, the Lab Anti Mall is packed. When we arrived,
We love sushi and we were totally looking forward to going
We love sushi and we were totally looking forward to going to this one star Michelin sushi restaurant. We found the food to be poor and not a Michelin star quality. This was the worst high end restaurant we have ever gone to in our opinion.
I'm so surprised that this place doesn't go more business!
I'm so surprised that this place doesn't go more business! It is pricey but it's such a gem and Michelin rated! It's my 2nd time there and it tasted just as good as the 1st. The sushi is fresh and the dishes are just enough to get you full. Def a pla
Flew in solo to Hanare tonight.
Wow what a treat. The waitress was incredibly friendly and recommended 3 great sake. I sat at the bar and I honestly could watch chef make sushi all day. Literally everything was delicious and the variety was amazing. I really appreciated how they ma

Wow. Definitely my favorite sushi spot. Hidden away, you'd likely miss it if you didn't come with someone who has been here before. Truly a hidden gem! Every dish was artistically plated and unique. The proportions were enough to make you want to com

Definitely deserving of the 1 Michelin star they have!- Price is $225 pp as of Dec 2022.- Parking can be a bit of a challenege since it's in the same plaza/space as Habana and a bunch of other hipster-ish shops. Try to come a bit earlier to look for

Hanare is one of the very few restaurants in OC to have a Michelin star and for good reasons. All of the fish here is super fresh and always imported straight from Japan. Hands down Hanare has one of the most creative, innovative, and not to mention

Connect with users posting reservations for Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FulfilledThread16, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* FulfilledThread16 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FulfilledThread16 for any questions Peter may have as FulfilledThread16 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FulfilledThread16 now uses their connections at Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FulfilledThread16 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FulfilledThread16 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FulfilledThread16's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hanare Sushi Costa Mesa!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
