I’m on a diet at the moment and was very hungry, came across this lovely restaurant and asked the waitress if they can help me chose a an healthy poke bowl, the women was so lovely and intelligent when it came to choosing what I might like. The whole platter was extremely delicious full of flavour and healthy foods. I was so happy with the service and food. I would 100% go back, loved every bit of it.

Hanami's truly a wonderful hidden jem, and that's exactly why I've become a regular here. The decor is always so sweet and the place is incredibly calming, with a charming instrumental soundtrack in the background. I would really recommend the chicken katsu curry, melon soda (I'm not sure how but it tastes like actual melon?) and the chiffon cake which is light and airy, as it should be - although there is a wide range of products and I'm sure all are great. The kind lady the place is run by is wonderful to talk to and so are the other staff.

Legit best poke I’ve ever had, and the chicken was so good it made me emotional. Honestly the best I can remember. The lady there is amazing and will help you choose a legendary meal if you need some help with the options. Can’t wait to go back!

We ordered 2 bright and fresh poké bowls. Fish was mouthwatering, sauce was tastebud tingling and only used the best ingredients. We asked them to make a bowl recommendation for us and it didn’t disappoint. I would highly recommend if you want a tasty lunch.
