Absolutely disgusting experience. I ordered takeout. I clearly stated no shrimp due to an allergy, confirmed it again at pickup, and still found shrimp mixed into the food. That’s not just careless — it’s dangerous and completely unacceptable.
Everything else was just as bad. Vegetables were drenched in soy sauce to the point of being inedible, the steak and salmon had zero seasoning or flavor, and the spicy tuna roll fell apart the second I touched it — sloppy, amateur rolling. The only halfway decent thing was the fried rice, and even that wasn’t worth the risk of eating here.
What makes this worse is that I’ve eaten here before and it was fine dining in, but takeout was a complete train wreck. This was hands-down the worst hibachi meal I’ve had in Albany in years. If I could give negative stars, I would.
Do yourself a favor: do not order pickup or delivery from here unless you want mistakes, poor quality, and potential allergy risks. I will never order from here again. Real review!

Lucky for us, a friend suggested that we might enjoy Hana Japanese Steak House and Sushi Bar. My goodness taking that suggestion paid off handsomely!
It’s at 1620 Western Ave, Albany, NY close to the Thruway.
Walking into the dim waiting area I was entranced by small fuchsia lights arrayed on a small tree. That was only the first of ongoing decorative delights. Tapestries festooned the spaces dividing table areas and decorating common areas.
Decorations are nice but the food was spectacular. Delicate green tea and gorgeous sushi delighted our taste buds. And it’s served on beautiful Japanese stoneware.
The service was very pleasant completing the reasons we like to eat at restaurants.
The tempura was especially wonderful. It felt light and delicately crunchy.
Now we need to start saving up for the steakhouse part of the menu. Judging by the exquisite dinner we experienced, I bet it’s amazingly wonderful too.
By the way, in case you’re closer to Hudson, NY, we also recommend a delightful Japanese restaurant there called Wasabi.

We were greeted by friendly staff and seated almost immediately. The menu options ranged from affordable to expensive and there were cocktails and drinks for every taste. The wagyu fried rice was really good, as was the hibachi lamb and hibachi combination meals. Everything was seasoned perfectly without tasting full of salt which can be an issue at a lot of restaurants. Our chef Kevin was entertaining and funny and we had a really great time.

What a great experience. Shared so many dishes and we had our own chef. They shoot Saki in your mouth!
Enjoyed teriyaki steak, shrimp, fried vegis and superb noodles. Great waitress and chef. Highly recommended the food and experience.

Pleasant staff, fun atmosphere and good food and drinks. A fairly typical hibachi restaurant with the usual fare and “dinner and a show” so to speak. A note for the vegetarians, our chef cooked all the vegetable hibachi meals before any meat touched the griddle. Not much else to say, but we have never been disappointed with our visits here.

This is a hibachi-style restaurant. You sit around a giant griddle, a waitress will take your drink orders, and then what you want to eat. Everybody pretty much orders something that’s going to be cooked on the large griddle in front of you. That is why most people come here. I had a dish that was a mixture of scallops, shrimp, steak, and lobster. You have your choice of fried rice or noodles. These are all flavored with various mixtures of flavored liquids. The noodles were definitely tasty. The kids in our group were super amused. Because the cooking is done quite theatrically, with large fires at the very beginning before they start cooking anything, a lot of spatula, tapping, and flipping, flipping zucchini pieces into people’s open mouths, and that sort of thing. So part of eating here is that show. If you like that sort of thing, this is definitely your place. All of the proteins that were cooked on the hibachi grill in front of us were actually cooked quite perfectly. The scallops were perfectly cooked, the steak was perfectly cooked, same with the lobster, etc. And they have a good variety to choose from. If you have a somewhat picky eater, they can just get edamame and white rice for example. They have a nice selection of sakes, but they come in a small bottle, so it’s a little bit too much for a single person. They also have a number of cocktails, and they are definitely on the sweet and tropical side.
The service was great, and the theater of all of the fire making and spatula tossing can be quite fun. My problem was that there was a very large group of what looked like late teens or early college aged individuals on a table behind us. And literally they screamed every 2 minutes. They screamed when there was fire, they screamed when their zucchini pieces were tossed at them, etc., so it was really, really loud. We were in the room with a very high ceiling, so I’m sure that made it worse. If you make a reservation you can ask for a seat on the quiet, bar side. It was clear that it was a lot quieter there.
The service was good, plentiful, and properly cooked, although I wished they had picked up our empty soup and salad plates sooner. Our chef had clearly learned the routine, but a bit of smiling would have been nice. However, in his defense, it was probably really, really hot over that steaming hot griddle.
All in all, if you want a bit of theatrical cooking in front of you, you will get a kick out of this place. I always lean towards a quieter dinner out.

I had my first and most Iikely last meal at Hana’s today. Hibachi room was COLD. Our waitress seemed to be new, was not able to answer some questions. A group of us reserved the Holiday lunch special (all inclusive lunch). I cannot believe hot tea was not an offering- soda, ice tea, lemonade available. Waitress was not sure if other beverages were available at extra cost. Finally it was decided other beverages could be purchased, which was totally understandable. 2 appetizers included for the group. We were not served the appetizer until we were almost done with the meal, when I inquired about the appetizer. Waitress stated the chef did NOT “put the appitizer out”. There was very minimal entertainment by the Hibachi Chef. As far as desert- there were 2 offerings- vanilla ice cream and green tea ice cream. They were OUT of green tea ice cream. Mediocre at best

Haven’t been in years as I no longer live close but was nearby tonight so stopped with my family on 4. Luckily Sunday through Thursday from 3-6 is happy hour in the regular dining room. We got seated right away and the staff were friendly. I got a delicious lychee martini. My family shared miso soup, money bags (cute crab Rangoon), rock shrimp, spicy tuna roll, Philadelphia roll, rainbow roll and a shrimp tempura roll. Everything was fresh, delicious and came out quickly. Lots of lovely decor and mood lighting. All we got came to less than $50! I couldn’t believe the value honestly. Will absolutely return and highly suggest their happy hour specials.

The food was amazing! We had Hibachi and also got drinks and a sushi roll as an appetizer.
We were disappointed that there was no happy hour due to Mother’s Day. We especially came early to get drinks with mom in honor of Mother’s Day, and nowhere on the website, reservation booking, social media, signs, etc. did the restaurant state that happy hour would not be in effect for the Holiday.
Our second disappointment and why I gave only 4 stars was because our Hibachi Chef was really not exciting. Out of all the Hibachi places I’ve been, this was whomp whomp, kind of sad. He went so quickly without much interaction, no singing, no throwing utensils or the egg, the onion volcano tower was over before I could even take a photo (!!), the guy who urinates saki/water was quickly spritzed and then immediately put away. He seemed like he was trying to rush and didn’t really care if we were entertained or not.
I understand that maybe the restaurant was busy and they were trying to move things along, but at least try and pretend you’re happy and give us something, we are indeed paying for an experience… I’m not sure where else you’d pay $28 for rice, veggies and a chicken breast without expecting some monies worth.
I’d go again in hopes for better, but since the food is good, it may be better to just sit in the regular part of the restaurant and order food, rather than be disappointed from expectation.

Under NEW management! Not GOOD management. We paid dinner prices for lunch service & didn’t even get the decorative napkins with silverware. If you have been to HANA’S before, just keep that memorable experience because you won’t want to create new experiences there now.
