Sushihana Japanese Restaurant

Gyozo soup quite good and tasty.
Asparagus fries while tasty were greasy and not a lite tempura batter.
Lamb Chops excellent
Wait staff very proficient and professional
Would of gave them 5 Stars but the Asparagus fries were a disappointment.
Updated review
After discussion on Asparagus fries they removed from the bill without although it was not requested. Been here dining several time and will definitely return.
Well deserved 5 Stars

Between the hot chef with the beard and the incredibly friendly, respectful, and accommodating staff — this place is a total win. Oh, by the way, the food here is AMAZING. Chef Mario is a genius. You can’t go wrong with any dish here. I quite literally crave and eat at this restaurant on a weekly basis. EAT HERE. NOW.

I’m a fan of Sushihana for their prepared rolls. Like Sushishima, the restaurant seems best at prepping a number of rolls featuring cooked items within the sushi. If you decide to try the rolls, I’d strongly suggest visiting during HH when you can get a batch of rolls for a ridiculously low price. I think we ended up spending less than $ 15 per person for 6 rolls and drinks. While I wasn’t as enamored with the nigiri, it certainly was on par if not better than what has been offered at other San Antonio sushi joints and, in fact, they had a stronger breadth of selection than anywhere other than Sushishima (which had a very similar selection). I’m still holding out for Niki’s Tokyo Inn, but Sushihana is fine if you are looking for sushi rolls.

I’m confused on all the great reviews. This place is 1. Not remotely authentic, bad rock music played in the background and the sushi chefs were not professional at all 2. It took 40 minutes for our food to come out and then My waiter constantly kept reaching around and over us and our food while we were Eating to pre bus plates and straw wrappers 3. The sushi: wasn’t terrible but the toasted sesame seeds on the rolls were burnt and left a bad taste behind. The rolls fell apart when picked up, the seaweed wraps were dried out and odd tasting. The gyoza was fair. I probably won’t be returning.

Pretty satisfied with this place! We ordered fatty salmon sashimi, house roll, coast roll and Phoenix and were pretty impressed. Came 30 mins short of happy hour but we got he early bird special which consisted of purchasing 3 rolls and getting the least expensive of those for free. Happy hour includes 20% off most appetizers and sushi/​sashimi. There were a few appetizers on the menu that are 50% off for happy hour such as edamame and gyoza.
Nice ambience, quiet and really nice centerpiece chandelier. After trying a few other sushi places in San Antonio, this is prob our favorite or a close second. Would def return!

Great service, great presentation, great atmosphere but would say I’ve had better sushi. The spicy edamame is probably the best I’ve ever had.

Great place, wonderful menu, awesome food, can’t say enough

5 stars for life! Been here over 4 times and they are amazing every time!!! Always amazing servers and the food is always perfect! This is my favorite sushi house here in San Antonio!!! Love it

We came tonight with our two kids and they were so kind to us. They even made my 2 yr old a special treat!!! The food is amazing and exactly how sushi should be.

We came here 30 mins after it opened so maybe that’s why… but here goes.
PARKING: plenty, more in the back I believe if the front is packed.
SERVICE: great; our server was very attentive
FOOD: food came out super fast! poki seaweed salad was a bit salty. Portions were smaller than I am used to. The asparagus calamari fries were delicious.
All in all: good. Pricey, but good.

FOOD: pretty yummy sushi when craving it in San Antonio. It’s expensive, but a great reminder of San Diego.
AMBIANCE: romantic and classy. It’s real pretty inside.
SERVICE: it was okay. They are respectful but doesn’t really get to know the guests.
Overall, I enjoyed this place while visiting San Antonio

I just went last nite and thought the sushi was great! Slightly pricey– but no worries b/​c I expect to get what I paid for.
1 star– ambience– casual/​cozy
1 star– great sushi– I ordered the umai roll.
1 star– this should be shared between the waiter and bus boy. THIS area is why I won’t give 5 stars total! The waiter seated me promptly and brought water. He took my order and asked if I would still need menu– so he left it. Good. But then– he never came back to check on me to see if I would order something else or to ask how my dish was. In this time– the busboy came back and asked if I was ok– if I was still using my menu and if I was going to order anything else. It appears my busboy deserved the tip after all?!
I will dine again and see b/​c sushi is good– I was there last nite and only in town for business.

The service is very good; both times I’ve been. I have had the sashimi both times and each time it has been very fresh. The salmon, fatty salmon and tuna are very fresh. We also got the gyoza this time and it was delicious. We tried two rolls: rainbow and tiger and both were great. Lastly, we had the beef tenderloin fried rice and it was very good! I will definitely be going back.

Omg… I can’t get enough of this place. I moved here not too long ago and there’s a big lack of delicious, authentic Korean and Japanese foods. For me, that’s the food I’ve grown up with being half Asian. And then coming here to American/​Mexican food dominant places, I’m slowly withering away.
But one day, I stumbled across this place and just ordered an udon bc I wasn’t feeling well. It was so delicious and tasted like the food back home. I came back again and ordered sushi and again, I was blown away with its freshness. I think I eat here at least once a week and if not done in then take out once or twice a week. Haha. It’s just so good. I don’t mind that it’s 25 minutes away from where I live.
The service here is great, the food quality is really good as well. The ambience and presentation of the food is beautiful.
My only complaint/​gripe is the rice. (I am a food snob and super grateful to have found a grate place in San Antonio… but) the sushi rice here could be better. The flavor is great; no issues there. But I think the quality of rice could be better. I think they’re using medium grain rice instead of short grain premium sushi rice. The difference is medium is a longer grain and better for cooking for items for hot foods, not tor sushi. The short grain, the rice is shorter and fatter and has a slightly fuller feel? I don’t know how to describe it… My words are failing me.
I only say this bc my parents own a sushi restaurant back home and we went thru a rice phase trying to find the cheapest but best quality rice. But I get it, here, most people don’t eat rice so they could care less and can’t even tell the difference. :/​But even with not the best sushi rice, this place is by far… My favorite restaurant here.
Now… I am on my way, sushihana! Today… Spider roll and chu toro! Yum!

I stopped in here for a quick solo lunch. I had my go to solo sushi lunch-​seaweed salad and a spider roll. The portions were huge. The presentation was nice. Service was good. The spider roll was huge with large pieces of soft shell crab. Everything was a bit lacking in flavor though. The ice tea tasted weird too like chemicals.

After living in San Antonio for a while, it has been a mission to find a good sushi restaurant. Sushihana met our expectations in regards to their extensive menu options and their delivery of the food.
We ordered the Gyozas for appetizer. These were crispy, though could have been more flavorful. We ordered two different specialty rolls that were recommended by our waiter: the Duncan and the Dictator. Both rolls were presented very nicely. They tasted very fresh and had a good combination of flavors. We also ordered the Yakisoba and substituted the chicken for seafood. The noodles were flavorful and had a generous serving of salmon, scallops, mussels, and shrimp with various vegetables.
Service was good. A very family-​friendly/​dog-​friendly restaurant. We sat at their nice outdoor patio since we had our dog.
Of note, prices were on the higher side as compared to other sushi restaurants.
Overall, good sushi place, not the best, but decent for San Antonio. Would consider returning to try their other specialty rolls.

I gotta be honest — I was not expecting quality sushi in San Antonio. But as soon as the sushi showed up at the table (presented in a beautiful boat!), I knew that the chefs were legit — they cut the fish correctly, and paired each piece with special garnishes appropriate to the fish. I was not disappointed — it was very good quality! The tamago looked a little old, but it actually tasted fine and wasn’t rubbery at all. The chutoro and fatty salmon were very good, and I liked that they distinguished between chutoro and otoro (signs of quality). I also loved that they had monk fish liver on the menu. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone!

Invited by some friends, my wife and I went to Sushihana for dinner. I love sushi but my wife does not so we rarely go some place that is mainly known for its Sushi.
Sushihana was packed when we arrived and the wait was around an hour. Online they said they had stopped taking reservations at 3pm. To me that is a good sign. Since it was hot outside, no one was sitting in the outdoor seating areas so we did not have to wait for more than a few minutes before we were seated. We figured it was worth dealing with the heat and to be honest, it was not that bad at all.
Soon we were ordering our food and the service was fantastic. Attentive and excellent attitude by our server. My wife even found some items that were not sushi. The three of us that loved sushi ordered four sushi rolls (different ones) and shared them. Delicious! Probably the best sushi I have had since leaving California. My wife got the Airline Chicken (Named that way because the chef said that bone-​in chicken breast was a cut first developed for airline food though the dish tasted MUCH better than airline food). She really enjoyed her meal and I have to say the taste I had of it was quite delightful.
Overall, excellent service and high-​quality food. Well worth the trip. I am sure we will go back.

New to San Antonio and was really looking for a good sushi spot. thanks to Unilocal!Found this place, and the sushi was pretty good. rolls were about $ 11-​$ 13 and lunch combos were good prices too. but apparently this spot is well known for their happy hour menu so I would have to come back and try that come
Check this place out. good sushi, nice area and big servings.

The best sushi in San Antonio. Slightly more expensive than your normal sushi spot, but you won’t regret paying the extra bucks! My usuals are the chirashi and anything sashimi. I’m a sushi purist, so unless I’m ordering a simple hamachi maki, I don’t dare taint my repertoire and my esteem for this place by ordering some mayo-​laden concoction. For those menu items, feel free to peruse the rest of the other Unilocalers’ perspectives.
Gotta love the cuts of fish and the variety of selections that they have on a daily basis. They don’t always have uni, but then they do — color me stupid happy! I might just give up my first born for a tray of sea urchin! Their tempura is great as well. My favorite is the sweet potato tempura, although the asparagus and shrimp are also quite delicious.
Worth trying at least, one, or twice, or every time you visit San Antonio, in my case.
