Hana Japan Steak And Seafood - Berkeley

I think it makes sense that the chefs have different personalities, but ours were basically machine-like... Until my friend was excited to see a cook she had seen before. That's when our chef decided to ask her if she wanted him, the other chef, to cook our food. I have never seen anything more unpleasant for each of us 9 (full table of four parties of two, plus our cook). He said very creepy, just fun, super fast after he shot her, but the guy didn't make a legitimate joke all the time. Until this point I really gave him the doubt because it seemed like it was his first night. To be honest when he asked if we wanted the other cook to cook our food, I almost said yes. The manager said he didn't mean it like that. Okay? In addition, there were two birthdays and two first timers at our table (I am in both of these groups) and although she asked twice about birthdays, it was literally never recognized. No word. They just tried to see if we tried to get the free dinner deal (Neither party qualified still we wanted the deal). The other cook has constantly interacted and asked questions that her celebrant 'birthday girl' all night. On our table the other birthday party ordered an appetizer, and it was mistakenly given to the other table sitting next to us. They only got it half or more through the meal. Overall, it was a really laborious experience in which our food was cold when cooking and we bored and felt respected, or best served badly. I felt terrible for my friend who was excited to show me her favorite place to celebrate. I wouldn't risk trying again for the cost of meal.

Fascinating cooking show at the table, children will definitely love it. Delicious food is good, but not too special. The location of the sunset at Bayside is beautiful. The building and the interior itself is a bit old.

I finally have the chance to go here and it was good, but the restaurant could use a big restoration. The place has an old smell, and it just looks old. You should really consider removing the carpet completely. I'm probably not going back.

It is not very good, but the setting is at least beautiful. Found it too salty and vegetables were bad quality. Definitely feels like throwing back into another era of restaurants. The service was good.

I Will not be visiting this restaurant again. The chef burned the rice. Not sure if the photo Does it justice but the eggs inside the rice and the rice was burned in several places. Worst part The chef saw he burned it but continued to serve it. We all sat there not wanting to be rude and complain to his face. For the price we paid (over $150) we should have said something. Nothing had any flavor. Needless to say we needed soy sauce and salt?lots of it. On the plus side the chef was nice. Looking at all the positive reviews I expected at the very least good food.
