Yuki Hana Sushi

(4 out of 5)Good sushi! Whenever I come here there's almost always no one inside! Which confuses me because they are very hospitable and the ambiance is definitely above par! And of course the food! I've been to a lot of sushi restaurants and I can say with confidence that this place won't disappoint anyone! Fun rolls and great fish quality! If you're in the Hayward area come by.And when you do tell them Rothyy sent you!

Still our favorite Japanese restaurant in the whole Bay Area for well over 10 years. Everything is always fresh and yummy. Service is always great.

I was very disappointed with this restaurant and quite frankly I am still in shocked on how bad the food was.One thing I can say is nothing is fresh.We went here right when they opened at 3pm yesterday.The female server just had a straight face didn't smile for anything.The restaurant itself is nice and clean. Parking was easy as we were able to park right in front.Food: this is pretty much where everything went down hill.I ordered the CA handroll and the nigiri deluxe with spicy tuna roll. My boyfriend ordered the 2 item bento box with teriyaki chicken and California roll.The moment my nigiri deluxe was placed down on the table I could smell an odor coming from the fish. So I decided to try out the hand roll first. Avocado was in between okay to about to go bad since I started seeing black speckles from when you peel it from the skin. Avocado definitely was not fresh. I took maybe 2 bites and left that alone afterwards.The nigiri deluxe was disappointing. The cuts were very thick and I couldn't really taste any of the fishes. I always eat nigiri without soy sauce because if it's fresh the taste of the fish is enough without having to dip it in soy sauce. The spicy tuna roll was definitely already pre made. The kicker/shocker for me and my boyfriend was the chicken teriyaki bento box. The chicken was lukewarm, honestly we think it was already cooked prior they just warm it up in a microwave or something. Even the rice wasn't hot and the California roll was not fresh. My boyfriend ate two and did not want the rest when he would usually finish a whole bento box. Is it cheap yes. But ive been to other cheap places that atleast has some freshness to their food. My boyfriend barely touched his food cause it just wasn't good. All the food came out within roughly 10 minutes of us ordering it. If that, maybe lesser but it was really quick. And again I didn't hear anyone cooking anything. The server was literally on her phone 80% of the time. The best thing I had here was their hot tea.

I am sad I didn't know about this place sooner! This is my place to go for fresh sushi that just melts in your mouth!! The owner is lovely lady with a heart of gold and the service is excellent!! The ambiance is very low key and romantic but great for family as well! We no longer go anywhere else!

Me and my boyfriend both grew up coming here, & have become regulars since we started dating. We LOVE Yukihana & rarely go to other sushi spots in the area because they simply do not measure up to the quality & service we are provided. Even when they are busy it is never too loud for an intimate lunch or dinner & the flavor & freshness is consistent everytime. We love seeing Yukihana busy. This place deserves more love!!!

The service, the cleanliness of inside including bathroom, the foodz everything was super good.

Our dance troupe performed on 13th July at the Hayward Veterans Memorial Building, where all the open windows couldn't disperse the heat enough--and there was no ice for bottles of water. Once everything was stashed for travel, about 7.30, our Fearless Leader (who had been there before) directed us to Yuki Hana, where there were a few vegetarian sushi options: we also have troupe sisters who need GF options, and non-fish eaters (I'd be a pescatarian if I could). We weren't the only ones from the dance festival choosing to eat there.When we entered, it was pleasantly cool. The "straight faced woman" (from another review) got our disorganized group of 7 seated, and menus, napkins, chopsticks were set out, with full glasses of water with big chunks of ice following shortly. We asked for water carafes, making it easier for both partiesWhile I didn't see a section of sashimi with prices, I saw quite a lot of food I would eat. Hadn't had anything since 10am but water, so I might've order some to go. I had the largest spider roll I've ever had -- $12, less than I usually pay in the South Bay, and the double hamachi roll $15. If I hadn't still been overheated, I would've order o-cha.The food came out shortly, and the sound level went down immediately. We were all happy with our food. Given as many drivers as we had, no one ordered alcohol--but given the laughter, you'd never have known. Post-performance meals are usually politely raucous.I almost had to take home leftovers--at least four of us did, the portions being that generous. We discovered while trying to do "bistromathics" that the woman (owner? Mother of owner?) has a dry wit. I left a larger tip than usual, because we were a large group.I've bookmarked Yuki Hana under GBA Sushi & under Alameda County restaurants. I wouldn't mind it if I had to come to Hayward before next year's festival just so I could eat here again!

2nd time coming here. Food quality was good. Service was good. 2nd time was for to-go order. I ordered the chirashi bowl and I asked for salad. She said the bowl comes w/soup but for to-go order, the soup is not included but was nice enough to give me salad instead. Btw, I placed my order 15-mins before they were closing. Price was fairly reasonable.

This has been my go to sushi spot for years. Philly roll, tiger roll, crunchy roll, and Hanna roll are always worth it. The woman behind the counter is always kind and the service is excellent. The environment is clean and invites you in. Will continue to return for years I hope.

It's sad to see this place empty during lunch hours. Delicious food, reasonable price and the restaurant is very clean.
