“ DELICIOUS SUSHI AND CUISINE, A GO TO IN BERGEN COUNTY. Amazing, fresh fish that pairs perfectly with their spicy mayo. I loved the orange beef, super flavorful and crispy. My favorite dish was definitely the sesame noodles- I got them cold, and they were incredibly refreshing with the slivers of cucumber and yummy sauce. Owners are also so so sweet and staff is wonderful. Would 100% go again!!! ”
“ Not usually in Cresskill but drove through with a friend and found this Hanami gem! The sushi was phenomenal... we had the Jennifer roll which had shrimp tempura, and for the first time in my sushi eating life, the tempura was actually warm! We thoroughly enjoyed their chicken and pine nut lettuce wrap - all perfectly diced and seasoned to perfection! Kudos to the chef who also served up orange beef - not my go-to entree but my friend wanted to try it. I was floored at the fragrant orange-y taste that wasn't the typical sliced beef. The servers were also super attentive and constantly offered up refills of green tea (which oddly was a better quality green tea than most Japanese restaurants!) ”
“ I had a Friday lunch here. The food was amazing, with fresh, high-quality ingredients and beautiful presentation. The staff was top-notch. The cozy atmosphere makes it such a nice spot to spend time with friends and family. I highly recommend it! ”

“ I had an amazing lunch at Hanami in Cresskill with my friends. I actually found out that this restaurant has been serving customers for over 25 years, which to me sounds like thousands of, if not millions of happy customers. The venue has a delightful patio for those who appreciate al fresco dining. And guess what? It's BYOB. I had lunch with three of my friends and we all truly enjoyed the variety the restaurant offers. They have so many great dishes, from sushi, sashimi, Chinese to noodles. One might think, maybe justifiably, that because of the wide variety of cuisines offered here, the quality would be mediocre at best. To my surprise, all the dishes I tried were amazing. Maybe my morning workout prior to lunch was one of the key "ingredients," in all seriousness, all the dishes were really delicious. My favorite dishes were the yellowtail sashimi, tuna pizza, and the General Tsos Tofu. The tofu wasn't too sweet or spicy; it was just right. The lo mein had a great portion (took home the leftover which my husband completely decimated) and the chicken with string beans was great as well. The chicken was so tender and the string beans were cooked to perfection. I can't forget about the fried shumai. I am not a big fan of fried shumai (I prefer steamed shumai) but this was different. It was so crispy and simply delicious. Of course, the service was amazing as well; probably another reason why it's been around for over 25 years. With its service, variety, and tasty dishes, I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try! ”
“ Hanami has been a neighborhood favorite for 26 years, and for good reasons. The extensive menu offers a full sushi and roll selections, from creative signature rolls to traditional sushi/sashimi entrees. The fish is very fresh and always presented very nicely. The sushi pizza is delicious, a great way to start a meal. The Hanami Roll is great too, wrapped in cucumber instead of rice. The restaurant also offers a large Chinese menu, from crowd favorites like Crispy Sesame Chicken and Sautéed Eggplant with Sweet Basil to more traditional dishes like Crispy Tender Half Duck and Filet Mignon with Black Pepper Sauce. The staff is friendly and attentive. The place is not big which makes for a nice intimate setting. It's a great go-to place for a quality meal for any occasion. ”
“ The fact that they offer gluten free alternatives is great and the sushi we ordered tasted fresh. ”
“ Excellent food and service. Everything was DELICIOUS!!! The atmosphere is very relaxed and didn't feel rushed. A must try. ”
