Hana Natural

So so overpriced it’s criminal … and their selection isn’t even that good. My suggestion is to walk the extra block to the other large groceries in the area.

The prices are just too insane. Every single item is at least $ 2 – 3 more than any place else, which is saying a lot as everything in NYC is already too damn expensive. To top it off, their shit is always mis-​priced and they NEVER honor the price that it’s marked. I give them two stars for being next to the train and open 24 hours. I get that this increases overhead a bit but customer service shouldn’t be the only thing you decide to discount.

This review on on the deli and sandwich section. The guys who work behind the counter can be very lazy.
I ordered a few sandwiches and was shopping for some items.
I ordered a peanut butter and jelly on white bread. I’m watching him make my sandwich. He goes to grab the squeeze bottle of jelly and clearly has nothing in it. He tries and tries to get some out on the bread.
He wraps the sandwich and hands it to me with a straight face.
I open the sandwich right in front of him and he starts laughing. I said that’s not cool why are you being lazy. I walked away and dropped off all my other stuff at the register and said I’m not buying these items. I went to another store.

Almond butter for $ 15 – 20? In any case, clean store and well-​organized, and many, many vegan products — win. Just make sure to bring a hefty purse with you, though.
One-​plus for stocking Bobo Oat Bars and Cliff Bars, which, saved my last couple of days in a city scarce of ripe fruit.

Hana Foods is a 24 hour fortress that never, EVER, closes. They were open during every major snowstorm in the past 5 years, Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and Snowpocalypse. I’m convinced at this point that even when the entire world ends, Hana Foods will still be standing, selling wildly overpriced groceries and delicious made to order sandwiches.
The sandwiches are INCREDIBLE, and a huge amount of food for $ 6-​$ 10. A plethora of vegan options that are consistently delicious and satisfying. My faves are the Shrek and Monkey Returns. The sandwich makers are all super nice guys, so tip them well, and they will hook it up! The grocery selection is slim, and about 50% more expensive than you would pay at a normal grocery store, but hey, sometimes convenience is priceless.

What a joke. They treat everyone horribly, the prices are robbery. Save your pennies and go to one of the 294 858 other local food joints. The only saving grace here is that they have great deli sandwhiches.

I’m sorry I love this place its high prices and staff is laughable and all that but I can’t give a grocery store in New York City a good rating that doesn’t accept EBT. Maybe in some backwards hick town but not NYC. Organic and healthy is not just for the elite. It should be available to be consumed by everyone.

I had three good experiences at Hana, but the fourth totally marred the good will made prior to. Now I hate to start any review this way, but its necessary here.
First, as the other reviewers note, this place is overpriced. Like Whole Paycheck, you kinda know that going in, but get what you get because they make it well, or are the only ones who have it. Fine.
But I was treated so badly by the sandwich maker guy (the shorter one out of two there that night), that I doubt I’ll ever return. It’s the same ol’ story… they make this vegetarian chicken salad sandwich I really like, the Monkey Returns (a name I still don’t understand), and on prior visits I walk up to the counter and order it easily. I did spend two minutes looking over the choices, but kinda knew I’d get my same ol’ sandwich… especially since the last time I didn’t and what I did get was mediocre.
So the cooks looked kinda busy, and the same short one looked up at me as I’m staring right at him, but then quickly went back to the grill. I’m thinking maybe they have a lot of orders, but my radar is still up. I take two steps over to the breads to see what they have (may forego the requisite 7-​grain on my sammich) and when I do, this white dude comes over, and the lil’ guy pops up quickly to take his order. Okay, this is obviously not the first time I’ve faced racial discrimination (and no, I’m not mistaken, that’s what it was) and I quickly correct little dude, but by this time I’m so disgusted, I don’t even want anything, so I bounce.
Hana Natural just lost another customer. Blame the short dude who cooks for you. And I really liked that damn veggie chicken sandwich too.

Awesome natural and organic food market and deli in the Bushwick area. It has all sorts of natural and organic foods, including produce. It also has soaps, creams and other non-​food products.
The deli section also has an extensive selection of sandwiches that are amazing. They range from $ 7 to $ 10.
The place gets a star for being 24 hours, but otherwise it’s quite expensive.

This place is absolutely amazing. YUM! Great vegetarian and vegan food selection. I’m not a vegetarian but my partner is. I loved every bit of food I ordered and his, too. We ended up sharing our meals with one another because we couldn’t decide who liked who’s better. He ordered the sweet and sour chicken and I ordered the sesame chicken. The «meat» had great texture and flavor.
The woman who was working the order area was so friendly. We liked her so much! She was very attentive, funny, and accomodating.

I asked for a everything bagel with tofu cream cheese, and I got an everything bagel with cream cheese. This impacts because I am allergic and I have to pop pills that slow me down and make my work day less productive. I have to say that I will never trust the folks at the deli again.

Food enthusiasts gem in Brooklyn !!!
This place has all types of foods! Large beer and beverage selection ! Their sandwiches are always made fresh and to order ! What place can make you a fresh sandwich at 4AM besides this one? Not that many! They pretty much have anything you can think of!
They also have a very good selection of sushi and pre made salads ! 2 registers make the lines go very fast! Go check it out you won’t regret it! Also check out their huge sandwich board ! Enjoy !

This place is slightly overpriced and last night the cashier was rude to me for the second time.

They cater to hipsters and pretty much only white and Asian people, if you’re black and you don’t have a white friend with you, they follow you around the store, thinking that you’re gonna steal something, they need to cater to all types of people instead of the people that only «look» like they have money. Black people have money too Hana, the color of our skin should not signify the type of person we are, so stop following us around already. You barely have customers as it is because you’re way over priced, u better start taking what you can get.

Bought sushi here in the morning. I tried to eat it but it was ROCK hard. Inedible. I spit it out. How long did they leave out that sushi (with actual raw fish in it) for it to become that inedible?
These people should be reported.

You say expensive, I say so don’t buy it! Somebody is buying these things at these prices and that’s why they stay that price.
Pros:
24 hours! Its right at the train stop, so no detour on my way home! In the dead of winter I am grateful for that. The coffee, sandwiches, and pre-​made meals are all good. Variety! They have so many healthy options that the other local markets won’t carry. The best part about this place is that its clean! Go to any market nearby its never going to be this clean. A bodega? Nope! A big chain? Nope nope nope.
Cons: price and only the price
People who won’t shop here at all because of the price probably value price over health, variety, and convenience. I am not one of those people.
I would say everything is an average of 75 cents over priced, if that average were closer to 25 cents I’d give it 4 stars. For a completely fair price? 5 stars for sure

Like most people here, I have a love-​hate relationship with Hana. It’s convenient, carries delicious products, but is such a rip-​off. They get away with charging us OBSCENE prices, but at the same time, we’re still buying from them.
I wish they weren’t as expensive as they are, but the store itself has lovely products and is always well kept.
Key foods, which is 2 blocks away, carries some of the same items so if you can, check that store out before you go to Hana.

This place is the reason why I think many New York natives criticize the transplants. Hana Natural is all pomp with no substance. The food is outrageously expensive and is not any better than what you would find in Cityfresh or Key Foods. This place pretends it is a Whole Foods, but at the end of the day it is just lipstick on a vegan, gluten-​free pig.
The only up this place has is that there are some pseudo-​Asian options available here that are otherwise hard to find in the area. Aside of that, the beer is expensive and crappier than Cityfresh (or The Sampler and Hops and Hocks). The food is expensive. The produce selection is limited.
Nobody who lived in Bushwick ten years ago shops here, because they know better (granted, I did not live in Bushwick ten years ago, but I know better too).
I don’t think you will die of food poisoning if you shop here, but your wallet will suffer a slow and painful death (unless you have a huge trust fund and you never look at the prices of food).

There’s isn’t much to choose from as far as grocery stores in the neighborhood, and there are even less options selling natural and organic products. Hana’s is also 24 hours, so regardless of anything I could complain about, I am just happy they are around.
The store is very well organized and clean. The aisles have room. Many products are natural and/​or organic. As other have said, expect to pay about 10% — 20% more for your groceries here than other stores. The high prices may cause me to adjust how much I buy here, but it’s great to pick up a few things
I’ve heard the deli is awesome, but I haven’t tried it myself yet. I can say that it is always busy, and there are 38 different options just for sandwiches on a roll! Looking forward to trying the deli asap! Posting a menu pick of the 38 sandwiches with this review

Everyone’s complaints about this place are pretty spot on: it’s expensive. I mean, it is. All their stuff is organic (supposedly) or free range or whatever it is people are into nowadays, and high priced. There’s a much bigger, much cheaper grocery just few a blocks away from this place that is probably a better call for if you’re trying to do some major shopping, but i like this place because:
1) its open 24hrs… that comes in handy when you are heading home at like 4am and you’re hungry… which brings me to…
2) they have a ridiculous sandwich section. their deli is great but their specialty sandwiches are pretty damn sweet, and since they make a ton of different things, you can pretty much order whatever you want and they’ll make it. Also the grill is always on, so they serve breakfast pretty much the whole time too (i’ve been told they stop serving btw/​1am-​3am).
Honestly, i just look at this place as a relatively pricey good sandwich place that also has some other random stuff… but then again, i don’t live in the neighborhood.
