I've been to Japan twice. I won't waste your time. Give them your money. I've spent plenty of time eating sushi and being disappointed. This was not that. The soba was superb and the sushi brought me back to Osaka. The prices are fair for the quality. Enjoy!
The food is always so good and fresh, and they have kind prices as well. Hanabi has been our go-to place for the last decade plus!
This is a very authentic Japanese restaurant. The sushi was extremely fresh and delicious! I also LOVED how the waitstaff were not jumping down your throat and overly aggressive. They would always come at the right times. Sushi is a delicacy that should take time to eat and not feel rushed! You can definitely taste how much handy work went into making each piece! Highly recommend and will return soon.
In all the years we have been coming to Hanabi we've never found better sushi! Always fresh, always high-quality, even the edamame is better than anywhere else. Special rolls are all great, and the basic rolls are all too-notch as well. I wish we lived closer, I would order all the time!
Amazing and fresh sushi!! As a local, I have tried countless other sushi places in the area and can wholeheartedly say no other sushi compares to Hanabi’s. The fish is always very fresh and the sushi is made with little rice so you can taste the fish. I’ve never had a bad experience here and continue to order sushi from here at least once a month. My personal favorite rolls are the LA roll and the Hanabi roll. Please go check them out if you haven’t for some delicious sushi! You won’t regret it!
First visit, sat outside. Great idea, they brought a button to push to call for someone, which meant no hovering waiter! That's a good thing in my book. Sushi was excellent, and enjoyed a plate full of rolls. Great place to enjoy a birthday dinner celebration.
Hanabi is simply the BEST sushi you will ever have!!! They have the best chef Sara and a wonderful staff. She can make you any roll that you can think of -- she is artistic, creative and the best sushi chef I ever met!! The quality of the food is always top notch and the flavors just burst in your mouth! You can't go wrong with sushi from Hanabi :)
Best sushi I ever tasted and I have tried all kinds from all different places. Nothing makes my mouth water like thinking about Hanabi. Don't listen to theese blithering idiots, they have no clue. They are probably used to Dominick's crap. I have never been able to match the flavor the chef at Hanabi has made with her sushi. She's a culinary guru. I will forever buy my sushi here. It's hard to even think of moving away.
Hanabi is not fancy at all but it is quite quaint. I have dined here 3 times and each time I've ordered the avocado crunch roll and it's delicious. All meals come with soup, edamame, and green tea. Nice place to eat and chat.
Have been going to Hanabi for a few years with my gorgeous wife. First of all we love the ambiance. Place is small and cozy. Food is very consistent and really good. Owners are Korean and not Japanese. Overall it's a great place.

My husband and I had our rehearsal dinner here. The menu was varied quite nicely so everyone in our little party was able to get exactly what they wanted. I got the sukiyaki and it was wonderful. It even had the transparent noodles, which are not found everywhere. We also split an order of shumai that was really good. The bulgoki was outstanding too! I plan to come back soon and try the ramen, gyoza and maybe some sushi! My husband got the udon and said it was a little bland for his taste. We're both looking forward to going back and trying more, though. The waitress (didn't catch her name) took very good care of all of us, and didn't mind that we had people staggering in one or two at a time for a few hours. A lot of us ended the night with green tea ice cream and it was delicious. Arigatou gozaimasu, Hanabi!
Had a few tasty rolls and a strawberry Ramune. Pleasantly surprised with the sushi at this hidden nook of a place. Check it out if you're craving sushi while in Buffalo Grove.
Best sushi I've ever had!
Absolutely love this place! Best spicy tuna roll I've ever had
