Super super good. Japan good. Fun and friendly atomosphere, lovely servers and chef. Food is really good, omakase 130€ is special but the €90 looked amazing too. Would reccomend for a top tier omakase experiance.

One of the top omakase experience we’ve had and we’ve been to some incredible ones in NYC & Japan. The service was incredible and the sushi was insanely fresh. 10 out of 10!

My favorite sushi place! I have been to quite a few high end omakase and generally Japanese restaurants in Amsterdam and London - Ken sushi, Maru, Rai, Yamazato, Chisou Sushi and Izakaya etc. This is my favorite! Everything is exquisite - the food, the atmosphere and the service. First the food! It’s is perfect! I visited three times and each time all the dishes beautiful, fresh and delicious! Exceptional attention to detail and flawless execution! Some of the best fish I ever had. I always enjoy the atmosphere - it’s peaceful, relaxed and cozy. I truly enjoy my time in Hanabi Sushi. The service is top notch. I feel welcome and , the stuff is very friendly and nice. It’s a real pleasure to dine there. I thoroughly and wholeheartedly recommend Hanabi Sushi to all sushi enthusiasts, lovers of quality cuisine and those who appreciate a proper dining experience.

This place has the best unagi don in NL in my opinion. It has quite a good selection of Yakitori as well. I came on a Sunday when the sushi bar is usually closed, will come back to try for sure. The restaurant is quite small and a bit noisy (which is understandable as it is located in the heart of Amsterdam) so might not be suitable for big groups.

I am speechless. The food, the service, the venue itself - 5 stars and more. I am happy we took a full menu as we got to try all the amazing dishes served that night. I would recommend this restaurant to any fish lover, quality is top notch.

My partner and I had a great time at Sushi Hanabi. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming and the different dishes were all super tasty! We especially liked the total aesthetic of eating everything in the traditional Japanese way and watching the chef at work creating each masterpiece with his knife cutting skills. What was especially good was that at the end, if you are still hungry, you can always order more of your favourites to enjoy the experience even longer. 10 stars! Thanks again.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Sushi Hanabi's omakase at Leidseplein 10, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, the welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an exceptional evening. The dishes were a culinary journey, perfectly suited to the rainy weather outside. We began with a warm, sweet steamed custard soup that was comforting and delicious. Each subsequent dish was a masterpiece, from the kingfish with nori and Japanese herb to the bluefin tuna belly that melted in my mouth. Personal highlights included the tuna tartar handroll with warm rice and crisp nori, the rich abalone with sweet sauce, and the prawn topped with caviar, which was so good we ordered it again after the main course. The attention to detail was impeccable—fresh ginger was constantly replenished to cleanse the palate, and each dish's flavors were thoughtfully balanced without overwhelming the senses. The sake pairing, starting with a light Matsuno Tsukasa Kimoto Junmaishu and progressing to a richer Tsukino Katsura Asahi, was expertly chosen by the waitress and complemented the meal perfectly. The dessert course capped the evening beautifully, especially the egg custard flambéed with sugar, reminiscent of a delicate crème brûlée. Mochi with a light sweet sauce and chocolate powder was a delightful and light finish. This was my first omakase experience, and it couldn’t have been better. The seasonal dishes, the flawless service, and the warm ambiance made for an amazing dining experience. I'll definitely be returning and highly recommend Sushi Hanabi to anyone looking for an exceptional meal in Amsterdam!

This restaurant delivers 9 rounds of excellence with a few surprises along the way. The chef serves each round with humor and is sure to bring a smile on your face. It definitely is one of the finer sushi’s i’ve ever tasted but be sure to pace yourself cause you will burn through the rounds otherwise.

We had an amazing omakase experience here. We were first greeted by a lady in traditional Japanese clothing and then got introduced to the head-chef. The interior was very beautiful & the atmosphere was very calming. The head-chef served us a variety of seafood/dishes. All were very delicious. It tasted very fresh and the combination of each ingredient made it even more flavourful. I will definitely come back again!

We had the €90 course/person. Let me tell you it was more than worth the price. Amazed with the craftsmanship of the young chef. Every bite was an experience in itself. Loved the relaxed atmosphere, the explanation for each course and the service given. Will definitely come back again.

We liked the place and the food. The lunch menu is a bit limited but still very tasty. We had two different dishes with chicken and in both the chicken were tender, well-marinated and went really well with the food. I’d come back for lunch!

We visited this restaurant with my wife for the 150 EUR Christmas menu, and unfortunately, I was disappointed by the visit. Starting from the service, it was on a high level, everyone was welcoming, attentive to the details, and it just felt nice, up to the Japanese standards, which are quite high - it's the positive side of the service. On the negative side, the total atmosphere was like at the funerals, totally opposite to the fun; there was no introduction, welcoming word from the chef, he just prepared the food, served it with words like "This is salmon", and everyone ate in total silence. In the other similar place, the chef told a lot about the history of sushi, how to eat it in the right way, where the fish was imported from, and some secrets of preparing it in the right way. Here... just "This is fatty tuna", that's all :( The food was, well, some was very nice, some was very strange. The eel sushi was very questionable, with eel without any structure, like mashed potatoes. The sweet shrimp sushi was with some strange bitterness; the opening dish - egg white in oil - was the worst opening dish I've ever eaten. But all the tuna sushi was on a high level. TL;DR: grim atmosphere, some sushi just meh, very overpriced, don't recommend.
