Hana Matsuri Sushi II

I absolutely love this place! It’s a little bit hidden because it’s in a plaza with 4 or 5 other places but even if it takes you 20 minutes to find it, it’s worth it! The chefs they are are amazing! Great quality ingredients and not to mention they make your plate look like a work of art! I always sit at the bar because I enjoy talking with them. They always ask what kinds of things you like and what you may want to try! They experiment a little and give you tastes sometimes which is a huge bonus. Coming from Florida I eat sushi a lot and was worried about the quality of fish and freshness but I can tell you I no longer have that worry! I go in about once a week now! Can’t say enough great things about this place!

I was back in the area and decided to try their lunch. Ordered the Sesame Chicken and was not disappointed. The pieces of chicken are large and aren’t heavily fried so you’re getting more chicken than batter. It comes out in a bento box that’s full of food: salad with a spicy Sriracha dressing, 4 pieces of California roll or Spicy tuna roll, a fried rice cake with a sweet sauce on top, and a pre-​sliced orange. Presentation is always on point here and so was the service. Christina was my server this time as I sat at the bar. Very knowledgeable about the specials and sushi selections and was always around. I never had to wait too long for her to check on me. What’s great is that they have $ 2 draft beers all day! I had the Leinenkugel seasonal which is a vanilla porter. Definitely recommend coming here for lunch.

Excellent, fresh sushi in a great atmosphere with very good service! Came here with hubby and some friends and we really apprieciated the complementary app with Unilocal check-​in and the complementary mochi dessert! What a way to catch customers — I’ll surely be back, especially to try their stone grilled items (they looked so cool!). Hana Matsuri Sushi II — thanking you for coming to Lakewood!

Being a sushi fanatic, I love trying new sushi places out. I have been to their first location located up at 120^th and the sushi and service is always great! This location is just the same!
I came with my mom, her two best friends and my best friend. The service was on point. We had a lovely lady named Rebecca. She was attentive and very professional even when my mom’s friends kept hitting on her! Talk about embarrassing haha! The food was sooo good. We ordered the fried calamari and the gyoza for appetizers which hit the spot. As for sushi, the nigiri was so fresh and the portions were huge! Just the way I like it. But to warn you, the sushi rolls tend to be on the bigger side so it might take a few bites. The alcohol there is definitely on the pricer side. For a shot of Hennessy was $ 12! I’ve been to other sushi places that didn’t charge that much. I give this place 5 stars because of the food and service! Our waitress even gave us free mochi ice cream on the house… Talk about a win-​win!

The sushi was fantastic and the staff was wonderfully engaging! I like that they have lunch hours unlike the other restaurant in the chain, but unlike the other chain they do not accept the Hana Matsuri Groupon. None the less we had a smashing sushi lunch topped off with a complimentary ice cream dessert!

We drove by and saw the grand opening a couple of months ago but just recently tried. We really liked everything we ordered. We ordered Sashimi and black rock sea salt Salmon and cucumber salad. Fish was very fresh. As for the black rock Salmon, they bring out this 800 degree hot stone you can sear your salmon steak on. You can order steak the same way .
I have to say this place is decent for sushi. I haven’t tried any cooked food but I will come here to try it out. So far I am very impressed at the quality, cleanliness and friendliness of this sushi restaurant.

Top quality fish & delicious sushi at a reasonable price — I’ve been charged twice as much at pretentious sushi bars where the fish wasn’t as good. Had dinner with a friend and with a chef’s selection of sushi, an extra roll and couple of drinks it was still only $ 55. Please to find such a great local place!

Absolutely AMAZING! it was sooo fresh and i am from the east coast and love seafood. i couldnt be happier!!! LOVE THEM!

The best sushi I have had in Denver by far! All very fresh! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful making recommendations! Cheap drinks and reasonable prices on sushi. Shocked to find such a great place in Lakewood.

Really, really fresh fish… wow.
We arrived a bit after 8:30 pm, knowing that they close at 9 pm on Sundays. We were greeted as if they just opened for the day. The staff and chef were super friendly, greeted us immediately and were very attentive throughout the meal.
We sat at the bar and ordered several pieces of nigiri, a couple of premium rolls (Mango Tango and the Kobe Beef roll) and miso soup. All were incredibly fresh, well seasoned and presented with great care. Presentation goes a long way anywhere, and when the food and service is as good as the visual quality of the food… that’s when you pause, and just take in what’s before you. You might can spy the cool lemon in the picture as well as the delicate red sprouts, cut fresh from the plant. Can’t beat that!
The décor… clean lines, modern feel, well dressed dining area. And despite the limited selection of beer, they do have dollar beer and two dollar drafts as well as two dollar sake. Oh, and to end the night, they sent complimentary ice cream. Very nice!
There’s a reason Hana Matsuri has such high reviews. So happy they opened a second location in our neighborhood! We loved them in Westminster and are thrilled to see them around the corner from us.

The service is friendly and helpful. The sushi is amazing and they have an extensive sake menu. Excuse. Me while I have another bite… so good… Anyway, I thought it was a «fast food» style and I was going to get my sushi to go but the vib was so inviting that I stayed and ate in. Come check it out. I think it would be worthy of a date night!

Staff and service were awesome! The food was good and reasonably priced for sushi. There were $ 2 Saporo on draft which was icing on the cake for me.
In terms of sushi, they had numerous creative rolls that were under $ 10 and very good. The only part I wasn’t impressed with was the spicy edamame. It had too much of the spicy sauce/​flavoring.
They finished it off by bringing a free dessert from the chef so all was good. We’ll be back!

Cute little modern style sushi restaurant tucked into a shopping mall strip. Decent sushi, average price, nice ambience, good service! Will return!

Beating a dead horse here via the other reviews, but this place is amazing. Not only is the sushi great but they offer grilled meat and fish at your table that you sear yourself with a personal-​sized 800 degree rock grill. I have only seen that at very high end restaurants and this is just as good (and fun) for much less. Talked to the manager and she is amazing. Better go now — nobody will be able to get a table at this place in a month.

Great spot for sushi!
We ordered the Black dragon, Oppa roll which was topped with juicy jalapeño peppers (I’m told they’re in season?), and the New style salmon roll. All were very good. Nice presentation and the service was good.
They seem to pay attention to the details, which we appreciate! The soy sauce (low sodium) is made in house and there was a small section side of red amaranth buds which appear to be grown in house as well.
Happy to find this spot. We will be back again.
Thanks for a great dinner!

We came here as a large group. The hostess seated us at a private room which was nice. Service is very prompt and courteous. Food has great flavor. They even brought complimentary mochi ice cream! Will definitely come back.

I moved from Westminster to Lakewood in 2011. It only took Chef Eddie four years to bring his Hana Matsuri Sushi down here with me!
Chef Eddie is so passionate about his food, he is a pleasure to watch and of course, it’s an amazing experience to eat his creations. His seafood is fresh, high quality, and beautifully presented. And don’t ask him about his rice! He has been studying and learning and perfecting rice since his childhood, and he is so proud of his craft!
My absolute favorite is his Chirashi. It’s so beautiful, you almost don’t want to eat it. Almost. But then you’d be missing out on thick, fresh slices of Sashimi, pickled mushrooms and vegetables, amazing Tamago, and of course, Chef Eddie’s Rice. I recommend experiencing the Chirashi at least once, putting yourself in the Chef’s hands and enjoying his creations.
The Hot Rock is a fun, unique experience, paired with the same quality meats and seafoods. I’ve sampled both the Filet and the Salmon on the Hot Rock, and both were quite good. I’m glad they have it, because I can bring my picky hubby along when I crave Sushi!
The interior of the new restaurant is very contemporary and clean, and the service, of course, is always friendly and efficient. My water glass never once got below half full.
I am SO THRILLED that my favorite Sushi place is now just a few miles from my new home. I’m sure you’ll find me here often!

Everyone who likes sushi has their favorite place. This is my new favorite.
Most recent was the Twister Roll and Shrimp Nigiri. Both were well their cost. Most special rolls were about $ 13 and we were given a free appetizer and dessert.

This is a really good sushi restaurant. Nice ambience and the sushi was great. The staff is very friendly and prompt.
I had the oppa roll which was very good and started with the spicy tuna kobachi which excellent. The sushi chefs are helpful and knowledgeable.

Simply put, the best, freshest sushi in Lakewood. And try the cooking stone, absolutely wonderful! I will be a regular from here on out.
