Hanare Japanese Restaurant

What a treasure! We lived in Japan, and this is the most authentic meal we have had in years. The seafood was fabulous and the sushi and sashimi delicious. In addition, the seasonal dishes, like the Hokkaido pumpkin stuffed with seafood and the deep fried persimmon were excellent. The staff were friendly and spoke Japanese. Will definitely visit again!!

What an unforgettable experience. This was my husband and my first time having omakase and it exceeded our expectations. The menu items were fresh, and could taste the level of care the chefs have in making all the dishes. Staff is very professional (but also liked that they shared laughs with us), and got a special Polaroid gift just because! I am so happy we made the choice to experience omakase at Hanare. Highly recommend.

Really good value Japanese buffet that offers a variety of good quality Japanese food. Atmosphere is comfortable and quiet- making it suitable for different type of occasions. Service was friendly and attentive. We opted for the buffet which was valuable and of good quality. Sashimi was fresh, wagyu was delicious, teppanyaki and yakimono had a good char. Oden and fruits were surprisingly good. However, agemono was a bit oily.

Tried the Winter Kaisek set at Hanare and really enjoyed it. Food was nicely done, very fresh and well prepared. The warm dishes were comforting and perfect for the season. Service was friendly and attentive. The ambience is cozy and calm, with private rooms available.

Absolutely loved the experience at Hanare! The ambiance is calm and elegant - perfect for a quiet, refined meal. Their seasonal Kaiseki menu was beautifully presented and full of delicate, authentic Japanese flavors. Everything tasted incredibly fresh! Service was warm and attentive. A true hidden gem in Intermark Mall for anyone looking for a high-quality Japanese dining experience

The restaurant has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with rich dark wood, soft ambient lighting, and an open kitchen where you can watch the chefs craft each dish. The layout includes a plush sushi counter, cozy bar, teppanyaki seating, and private rooms, making it perfect for both intimate dinners and larger gatherings. The staff and chefs are friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. I tried the omakase menu and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. The meal began with appetizers that set the tone, then moved into fresh oysters, followed by beautifully fresh sashimi like fatty tuna belly, seafood soup in a pot, and temaki. The sushi course was even better. every piece from toro to amberjack was perfectly balanced with seasoned rice and just the right touch. Highly recommend Hanare for a special dining experience.
