Hana Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar - Japanese restaurant in Albany - 1620 Western Ave, USA

A huge menu of Japanese and random Asian dishes (pad Thai!). The ambience is dark, and loud. The food comes pretty fast. The dishes were well made. Try the sake sushi, the poke bowl, and seaweed salad, as they were all good. They added a 20% tip automatically, for a party of three.

Came here for a birthday dinner. It was my first hibachi experience Upstate NY. I love this place. The food was plentiful and delish! The orchid flower tini is the bomb. The ambiance and the servers were great . I would love to come back here.

Our chef was truly amazing and made a fantastic experience. The food was delicious and the service was top notch

Worst hibachi experience of my life. I've gotten takeout multiple times and have even eaten lunch here and was happy, but I will never be going back. It's a shame because the food was decent. We were seated in some back room that was pretty tight. The room did not seem properly equipped with ventilation for 4 hibachi grills. The grills have ventilation built in but it was not enough. Room was very smokey and very hot. The rest of the tables in the main area seemed the same way and the whole place was smokey. The acoustics of the room were not good for when they do tricks with the spatula, very piercing to the ears. One of the worst parts was a smoke detector making the low power chirp every 30 seconds the whole time we were there. Maybe if it was working properly it would be going off the whole time. In all the hibachis I had been to, never did I feel like I was in some sort of hibachi hotbox. By the time I was done with my meal I was itching to get out of that hell room. Also since when is the small soup and salad and extra charge when ordering the hibachi meal? Anyway, never ever going back. There are other decent options in the area.

One of my favorite place to eat! The prices are fair and the foods are delicious! The service was wonderful, I’ve never had a bad experience. May I compliment the sushi chefs, I always sit at the sushi bar when I go and they are all incredibly nice. The dish decorations are soo pretty! I love the complimentary dishes they always give me and the recommendations are spot on. Very nice place with personable staffs, a great place to dine!

Some of the best sushi we have ever had! The presentation is top notch! We also ordered a bento box which had many different items to try. The clear soup had amazing flavor and the lemongrass hot/sour soup was incredible. We opted to do regular dinging vs the hibachi side which has a nice cozy dining experience. The hibachi side seems super busy and everyone appears to be having a blast. The staff does a great job considering how busy it is and we had minimal wait for our food

Enjoyed the entertaining chwf, and friendly wait staff. Decent food. Sushi rolls are a bit skimpy, but the habachi dinner, miso and bottomless soft drinks made up for it.

The hibachi food was all a bit undercooked. I heard good reviews prior to the visit. Chef seemed to be having an off night. The rolls were delicious and prepared perfectly. The drinks were a bit off. The service was good. Hibachi took a long time to come out. Overall, I'll give it one more try.
