Hanaoka Restaurant in National City

Awesome spot. Compared to the other ramen/Japanese places in San Diego, this one definitely takes the cake on culture/traditions aspect of it. Having lived in Japan, I really appreciated that. The staff were friendly and greeted in Japanese which I hadn’t seen at other restaurants out here. Big selection of food on their menu. I had the shoyu ramen and the broth was amazing. Do wish it came with an egg; wasn’t aware of all ingredients. Some of the best I’ve had since being here though. Also had the gyoza and karaage. Both exceptional; nothing that really stood out. Look forward to returning and trying different things on the menu.

I’am not a fan of Japanese food but this was a real good experience and the food was great. The staff was very friendly and the service was great as well. My wife had the sushi and she loved it. I had the chicken fried rice and it was very tasty. The food portion was enough for me to even take some home. I totally recommend this place.

Sushi was good, but was cut into quite uneven pieces, and many of them were too large to eat in a single bite. The ramen was altogether mediocre, and the broth was utterly bland. Chashu had flavour but was not tender.

This spot is one of my favorite restaurants! The service is amazing and quick, food and drinks are delicious and prices are good. I usually get their sushi rolls and all of them are good, my husband gets their ramen and it’s his favorite, i’ve even taken friends here and they have also loved it.All of the staff is very friendly.The portions are good.I definitely recommend.

This restaurant is pretty popular . The wait times can be a bit but definitely worth it . The service is good from them and the sushi/food is served nice and fresh. I would reccomend for you to share a boat of sushi between 2-3 people . Worth the price !

We went here for lunch during a weekday and it was very busy. It was our first time. They have a good selection of lunch specials. We ordered the Bento lunch special that had a lot of variety. We were full. They offer happy hour drink special of sake and/or beer. We enjoyed our lunch and the service was fast,

Love the food here is delicious. I always get the #8. California rolls are the best. Will definitely recommend. Staff are super friendly.

Amazing restaurant! Even more amazing service! They call you to let you know when your order is ready for take out. Food is so good and fresh! We love this place.

I ordered a sushi boat. I wish they would invest some money in making the place look pretty and fixing the booth chairs which are held together by duct tape. Other than that, they have *amazing* service and good food fairly priced. Their happy hour is awesome.

Found my new favorite sushi restaurant! Fantastic customer service, we were immediately greeted and seated. The ambiance was nice with good music and a great environment. The sushi was delicious and FRESH! I had a tuna spicy mexican roll and a tropical mango roll. The rolls where big in size and quite affordable in comparison to other sushi restaurants I have been too. The tuna and salmon literally melted in my mouth... soooooo delicious! I usually order a hand roll but I didnt because it was too much food. I was stuffed with just two rolls! However, next time I will get a hand roll because they look delicious! I saw a server taking several hand rolls to a table near us and let me tell you, the hand rolls look HUGE. They are the biggest hands rolls Ive ever seen! EVER! I would say double the common size. My hubby had chicken yakisoba and it didnt disappoint. Overall, super happy with our experience. Dont worry about parking because there is plenty at the plaza! 10/10 REALLY recommend!
