I had the best time here! The service was excellent!! I sat at the bar cuz the wait for a table was over an hour long but the bartender was the best host! He made some really great recommendations for us. The kimchi dip is amazing!!! Ask for more crackers if you run out. All the food that we ordered was amazing! And the slush drinks also great!! Loved the whole vibe of this place! Definitely would come back!
We used to order Hanai items when they cooked out of a commissary and we finally made it to their restaurant for a meal. Simple dishes that highlight local fare with Hawaiian flavors. Each dish we ordered was wonderful!Food: 4/5
this spot has been on my list for quite some time, and i’m so glad we finally got to try. very warm and friendly service, we had the tasting menu option to try a little bit of everything - highly recommend! the potato salad, half chicken and the chocolate mochi cake were delicious. will be back for more!
My new favourite restaurant for quality drinks and delicious fusion food. Our server Michelle was phenomenal and very helpful when it came to recommendations. The food is served as small dishes meant to be shared. We especially enjoyed the squid luau and kimchi dip. Can’t wait to visit again!
Had tasting menu. Dessert with Philipino cheese is must have paired with Sake made in Richmond that closed down. Simple and WELL DONE!! Service was GREAT!! Friendly and confident suggestions for food
Amazing spot! Came for my birthday with a party of 6 people we literally tried the whole menu plus the special for the night and every single dish knocked it out of the park, our favourites were the miso carrots, pork chop, and cheesy rice cakes. The wine and cocktail list were also outstanding. Great and friendly service! Can’t wait to come back and enjoy some drinks and snacks on their patio!
Gem on Commercial drive serving Hawaiian fusion cuisine. I've stopped by a few times for the Apero wine events, but this my first time for dinner and will definitely be back. Dishes are served in a minimalist presentation and let's the food speak for itself. The highlight of the evening is the Huli huli chicken leg cooked to perfection! The furikake rice is just beautiful with texture and unami in each bite that went perfectly with the chicken. The beet salad was delicious as well. We also had the manila clams that was probably the weakest of the night as it was a bit too simple as a dish you would cook at home. Cocktails were on point and well balanced for flavor and alcohol profiles. Will come again when the menu changes!
Excellent service! Super friendly and made us feel so welcome. Food was outstanding. Flavours were delicious and very unique. Loved it.
My husband and I went with some friends to try the Ohana menu at Hanai on Commercial Drive. Ohana is a Hawaiian word which means "family"; the menu is aptly named as it is a Family style multi-course tasting menu. Oh wow...what a tasting menu! Multiple courses with multiple dishes within each course to try. Favourites: Cucumbers with a furikake sour cream dip - We all loved this dip, including my husband who's usually not a big fan of sour cream. It was served with cucumbers but when the cucumbers ran out and we still had some dip left, I started dipping other foods on the table into it, and everything I dipped tasted even better with the furikake sour cream on it! Vermicelli noodles with a vegetarian sauce: I'm not sure what this sauce was made of. Based on its appearance, my best guess would be olive oil and soy sauce. Whatever it was, it tasted amazing on top of the vermicelli noodles. I'm Pescatarian which is why the restaurant offered me this Vegetarian sauce. There was actually another sauce on the table for the other 3 people in our group who were all meat eaters. However, even the meat eaters tried the vegetarian sauce and seemed to like it better than their sauce. They said the Vegetarian sauce had more depth of flavor to it. Yellow zucchini with...I don't even know what the sauce was made of but it was awesome! Fun Rice: There was a green sauce on the table that was made up of taro, coconut milk and swiss chard. I kept eating the fun rice together with this sauce and it was a heavenly match. The two desserts: Yes, not one but two. We were so stuffed already and then they brought out not one, but two desserts for us! One of them was called Kulolo. It actually appeared on the printed a la carte menu. It was described as "Dolce amore fior di latte, shoyu caramel, sweet kulolo." Hanai serves Hawaiian food but they seem to be borrowing a bit from the Italians for this one. Doesn't "Dolce amore" mean "sweet love" in Italian? Well, whatever they did to the Kulolo...it was sweet and I loved it! I don't have a name for the other dessert. It had about 4 different layers in it, if not more and it was divine. Hawaiians seem to enjoy using taro a lot. Taro seemed to be a recurring theme in these desserts. They certainly took their time in serving us our food. We arrived shortly past 6:45pm and when we left the restaurant it was about 10:15pm. We were there for nearly 3 1/2 hours! Apparently there are only 2 people working in the kitchen, so I suppose that might account for the slow pace of things. Our server did notice that my little pot of hot water was low, or even empty and offered to top it up for me a couple of times. That was good. It would have been nice if they'd checked on us a bit more often though and refilled my hot water a few more times as 3 1/2 hours is an exceptionally long time to spend at a restaurant. Service: Good. Parking: Free parking if you're lucky enough to find any, otherwise it's paid parking. Location: On Commercial Drive with lots of other businesses nearby.
I haven't stopped thinking about the brown butter mochi since I had it here. Simply nothing like it! It was rich, warm, delicate, and overall the perfect finale to a pleasant meal. My other favourite had to be the adobo potatoes. The staff were incredibly friendly and informative and provided exceptional service. Can't wait to come back and try more of the menu!
