Hanes Sushi and Bar is ranked as one
of the best sushi outlets in San Diego. The popular restaurant has been noted
for its excellent service and high quality fish products. Lines are long and
every table is full of sushi eating enthusiasts. Between the clanging of glasses at
the bar, the chef’s chopping of sea catch and the lively conversation one will
find a positive dining experience.
KFMB’s Mojo page indicates that the
far majority of the customers ranked it 5 out of 5. Their favorite products are the California
Roll, Sashimi, and Avocado rolls. Comments relate primarily to the overall
freshness of the products. “Fresh”, “Pieces of Heaven” and “Might be the best
in San Diego” are common.
Trip Advisor also ranked the
restaurant 5 out of 5 stars in 13 out of 17 reviews. They mentioned quality and
freshness as the main attractors. Price was seen as a detractor. Their
favorites were Sashimi, Honeymoon Oysters, and Uni (Sea Urchin Eggs). Comments
such as “Best Sushi”, “World Class”, and “Very Fresh” abound.
Best prices can be found during the
midday lunch specials. Local workers head over to Hanes during their 45 minute
lunch break. A full wine list and other specialty drinks are available.
Evenings are packed and it is best to make a reservation if you plan on coming
before 9PM.
Because we had reservations the wait
was not particularly long. The waitress quickly brought us the food and drink
menus. The atmosphere was simple yet clean considering it was toward the end of
dinner traffic. The chefs made each roll to order and did so in full view of
customers. The price was a touch high for three people but overall well worth
it.
As Hanes prides itself on freshness
and is new to the area it may be capitalizing on its quality and “buzz”. Like
most new products, the prices are generally higher than more established
restaurants but this could change depending on visitor popularity. There is a
natural association of freshness and quality with price that is part of the
establishment’s pricing strategy. At present its position is at the top of
local sushi establishments and its price reflects that. It appears that Hanes is
doing well and will continue to do so for some time.
