Authentic Japanese food in the blue mountains. brought back some great memories of japan. great little traditional looking place. tempura was the best

Approximate cost: $18

Cosy little restaurant, nice menu selection, great quality food and taste. Service is always friendly and polite. I love the hand made sushi, always tastes fresh. They also do a take away menu which is very convenient. Must try the beef teriyaki!

It is great to have a Japanese restaurant in the Blue Mountains, it is the only one I know of. It is a fun place to go as a group and enjoy the saki and sashimi.

This is my favourite Japanese restaurant! Yummy food, unique restaurant layout, saki, decor is fantastic, they cater for large groups so great for a birthday get together.

We were surprised to find a Japanese restaurant in Leura but this was a pleasant discovery. If you plan to go it's advisable to book, even mid-week.

On the whole food was quite good. The nabeyake udon was excellent, a good sized serve with excellent stock and reasonably close to authentic, if you excuse the less than optimal vegetables. The sashimi was pretty good too, especially considering the location, not exactly near a fish market.

Fish cakes were a bit of disappointment, and the 'crab' in the California rolls was just seafood extender. The grilled salmon was also a let-down, despite being told it would be pink in the middle it came out slightly over-cooked, although not dry.

Ambience varies depending whether you are facing into the restaurant, or looking at the microwaves and service area. However, this can be overlooked considering it is not promoted as anything other than a humble Japanese eatery. As such Hana does quite well and is a welcome respite from the many exorbitantly priced restaurants in the upper Blue Mountains.

Excellent food, very fresh sashimi and sushi. This restaurant is hard to beat for value and atmosphere. Half of the Leura residents are regulars and you can always meet someone. One thing I could say about this restaurant is that it is a shame they are closed on Sunday nights.
