Such a quaint little restaurant nestled in the ShopRite shopping center in East Brunswick, NJ. I have not eaten inside the restaurant yet, as we've ordered takeout while my daughters are in gymnastics close by. The restaurant is clean, updated, and has a fun vibe. It is also BYOB, which is nice. The sushi is very fresh and they have an extensive menu ranging from soups, appetizers, salads, and vast arrays of sushi, sashimi, specialty rolls as well as teriyaki, donburi, noodles, tempura & katsu, bento boxes, lunch specials, udon, and hibachi entrees. So far, we have tried the rainbow rolls, salmon & avocado, sweet heart roll, sumo roll, and california roll. There is definitely a little something for everyone. Most dishes are served with sesame seeds, so I would definitely specify no sesame seeds if this is something you prefer not to have. They are currently closed on Monday's, but open for lunch and dinner the rest of the week. Sundays, they are open most of the day, while Tuesday through Saturday, they are briefly closed from 3pm reopening at 4pm. We definitely look forward to sampling the rest of the menu. Everything we have tried so far has been delicious.

I'm dismayed to leave this 1-star review for East Hana Sushi. My recent experience there was far from the standard one would expect from a reputable sushi restaurant. The servers did not show any effort to go above and beyond their basic duties. Merely bringing food to the table is a fundamental task, not something that warrants special appreciation in the form of a tip. However, what truly marred the experience was the staff's approach to soliciting tips. They resorted to publicly embarrassing customers, loudly calling out for tips in front of friends and other patrons. This tactic is not only unprofessional but also disrespectful, making customers feel small and uncomfortable. Good service is about adding value to the dining experience. It could be as simple as offering to wrap up leftovers for take-home, engaging in friendly conversation, providing insights about the menu, or even a brief tutorial on using chopsticks for those interested. These gestures make a dining experience memorable and tip-worthy. Sadly, East Hana Sushi misses the mark on understanding the essence of good service. My advice to them: if you expect a tip, strive to earn it by enhancing the customer's experience. As it stands, I cannot recommend this restaurant. There are plenty of other sushi places where the staff understand and respect the nuances of quality service.

Never a bad experience in the past 5+ years I've been visiting this place. This has undoubtedly become our go to family place for sushi! This time we did pick up but the order was perfect without any issues! (Gave a 5 star for atmosphere because it's a nice, tidy place with plenty of parking).

My family and I have been eating here for over 10 years now. The sushi is the best in the area. Consistent, great service, fair prices—you’re not going to get any better around here! One of my favorite places in East Brunswick!

Im not sure about the food however recently I ordered a sushi box to go for my child and there was a single metal staple found on top on of one of the sushis. We were horrified and very grateful he noticed before consuming. We called to inform them of the incident and their sole response was "thank you for letting us know" nothing more. we will never be returning.

Absolutely love this place. The service, the quality and the value is great. Really a hidden Gem. One of the best in the neighborhood! Let the pictures speak the the quality.

Sushi was fresh. Chicken teriyaki bento box was very tasty. It was nice to see that the chicken was actually grilled and not boiled like many other places.
