Profile

Ikeno Hana bears the mark of an authentic Japanese restaurant: The sweet shrimp in the sushi special arrive raw—when they're in season. The fish pieces are ridiculously huge and redolent of the sea. Tasty shumai (steamed dumplings) come six to a container, and edamame are served hot and the right shade of bright green, though you have to ask for the salt with which to douse them. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld

The sushi bar is fun to sit at and they make delicious rolls. The entres are also superb, i highly recommend the chicken yakitori as an appetizer, best japanese sauce i've ever tasted. The garlic shrimp is also very good. If its a monday, wednesday or sunday, its always a great place to eat at or order in. Take a candy mint on the way out as well

Decent Sushi - Terribly Loud

The Sushi was decent. Didn't stand out as much as I thought it would based on the review - there are several places along 2nd & 3rd Ave. that are just as good, including Shiki Sushi & Sushi Hana. I thought the small size of the restaurant and decor would provide an intimate environment, but the end result was that it was just too damn loud. I felt like I was in a high school cafeteria. There is something desperately wrong with the acoustics when in a packed restaurant I can barely hear the person across from me. Instead I suffered through conversations of the somewhat stuffy crowd, befitting its location. I couldn't believe it and paid cash just so I could get out of there that much quicker. If you're a loud talker and in the neighborhood and dying for good sushi, go for it, otherwise, head over a couple avenues.
