I haven’t had much to say around here lately since we’ve been out of town and busy with the holidays. It was very nice to finally have a weekend at home to relax. We walked down to Pier Park Saturday and Sunday to enjoy the atmosphere. There were some great sales going on at Old Navy that my husband was happy to peruse. We are also trying to step out of our box and try new restaurants. We tend to find something we like and stick with it, which means you can find us in Five Guys most weekends.
This weekend, we went ahead and tried Hana Japan. It was not exactly what I was expecting. Everything I had seen online made it sound like it was a true Japanese steakhouse with the chefs cooking at your table. Unless there is a secret dining area in the back, this is not the case. It is actually a quaint little Japanese diner, if you will. There are about four tables inside to dine at and some more tables on the sidewalk for outside dining. The experience is more like a deli/cafe where you order your food at the counter and pick it up when it is ready. My husband and I kept it simple with teriyaki chicken and beef which were both good. Our friends, the more adventurous diners, ordered a variety of sushi. They said that it was all tasty and, most importantly, fresh. Overall, it was a good dinging experience — nothing tremendously unique, but good food nonetheless.
