Hana Sushi, Altamonte Springs

I grabbed a sushi A lunch special to go on my way home Wednesday. It cost $10. It consisted of six pieces of nigiri and a California roll and soup or salad. The nigiri was ahi tuna, fake crab, white tuna (escolar), shrimp. salmon and a white fish with brown tips that they used to call snapper, but has always been tilapia. All the fish was fresh. Long thin cuts. Even the tuna was ok. The roll was fine too. The salad was fresh. Small portion. The rice was properly prepared. I was mildly surprised. I used to go here alot. It was always above average back in those days. I was just surprised that the quality didn't drop off after all this time and that it still is ok compared to the increased level of competition in CF. It's not world class, but, it is respectable. Prices are in line. The place hasn't changed at all inside. It's pretty bare bones. However, it hasn't seemed to have aged either. Service was quick and polite. They serve the usual stuff. Hot and cold. Some ambitious items are: yellowtail jaw (grilled), kimchi, udon, and salmon carpaccio. They are in the strip mall on the north side of 1-4 that has the DSW shoe warehouse. It seats about forty.
