The owner will respond with some weird responses so please ignore it.This place is bad. The server is so cold and I felt like just walking out.Second the food is overpriced. We had the charsi Don and it came on a plate (usually always comes in a bowl) with no vegetables and cost 26 dollars. Did i mentioned it had no Shashimi.Our bill came out to $69 dollars and I paid (no tip) and went to another restaurant for more food.Had mild stomach cramps the next day

24 dollars for 8 pieces of paper thin sashimi on top of rice and their ramen is literally instant noodles.

Cozy place with maybe 4 or 5 tables and elegantly simple food—exactly what I was after. The service was excellent. Looking for a place to dine alone as I'm on business travel and staying at the hotel next door, this place was perfect.

Mediocre food, terrible service with a steep price tag. Just like other comments, middle age Korean lady server with an attitude. Acted like a hawk over our table when we were the only table of guests. Constantly clearing dishes off our table and took unfinished dishes away. She passed the machine for us to pay when we were still eating. Would not recommend this place, there are better choices around the corner.

Similar to a lot of previous reviews. The food isn’t the worst but not the best. What makes this experience poor is the female worker. She looks like she hates the world and presents this attitude to the customers. It leads to an uncomfortable dining experience. She clears plates extremely fast, like a vulture watching you to be done the last piece. It felt extremely rushed. Finally, when we paid, we were paying with cash and pulling out bills and coins. She has the audacity to say “the bill does not include the tip!” In a loud voice within seconds of putting the bill down on the table. We said “we know…” as we were still not done gathering the money out. She was just standing there like a hawk. When we were done, she gave a scowl, did not say anything, not even a thank you, and walks away. Her attitude needs a check - good luck to the future of this restaurant.

Hanamori never disappoints. Delicious and fresh every single time!! Definitely the best sushi I’ve had in Coquitlam!

Great and quiet place to eat alone or with 2-4 people if you guys are looking for a really cozy restaurant. Since the place is so small, it is easy for them to watch over you and provide good service but it might not be best if you want to eat with a lively large group, as it may feel cramped or awkward. The atmosphere is very peaceful and I like the soft music they play. I recommend their special rolls. There's a great variety that are all very tasty. They do offer some other dishes like ramen and dons but I'd say I'm much more likely to come here again for just the sushi. Overall, hada pleasant experience :D

Rude customer service do not come here. Sushi is good but the lady will get your order wrong and then blame you for getting it wrong. Happened to me twice and wasted a lot my time. It feels like she trying to take advantage of you almost. If you go you should record yourself saying your order so you have proof of what you said ?

The best tuna tataki in town, the ebi sunomono was perfect, service and atmosphere amazing!
The food is good, but the server is so rude & impolite. And also, the server rushed us out even there is no customer waiting.

I came here with my close friends (there were 9 of us) on a Saturday at 3pm as I saw that there were really good reviews.The place itself is really small and we took up half of their occupancy space but it was during a quiet time and there was only one other table finishing up.We let our teenagers order first since they were hungry and we want more time with the menu. My friends and I ordered 2 rounds of 2 large Asahis that were ice cold and refreshing.We ordered the parents’ meals shortly after although it took a while for the server to take our order and she walked away before all of the adults could order (she only took 2 out of 4 orders).The first round of food for the teens came out in a timely manner but our food took an extremely long time. We also had to ask for soy sauce, wasabi and ginger, they did not come on our sushi plates.We were there for almost an hour before we got our food. There was only one chef making the sushi and I assumed it took so long because we ordered the torched and specialty sushi.The wait was worth it though - the Volcano roll was absolutely delicious, among the best specialty rolls I’ve ever had. The Oshi salmon sushi was okay. Everyone else really enjoyed their meals.Even though our food took so long, we didn’t make a fuss about it and had a great time. However, we had only finished our meal 15 minutes before the server told us that we needed to leave for the next guests. We apologized and left but were really put off by this. There was only one table for two that came in the entire 1.5 hours we were there and there was still another table for 4 empty. No take out orders were picked up during that time either.We stayed outside of the restaurant for another 30 minutes socializing with our friends and no one came in so it was odd that they told us to leave. Again, this was during a quiet time at 4:20pm when we were told to leave.The food is great, but not the friendliest service unfortunately, hence the 3 stars for service. The server almost seemed annoyed when we first came in and told her we were a party of 9 and when we asked her for the ginger, wasabi and soy sauce.The bill for our family of 5 came to $120 and we got 2 rolls for each kid, a prawn tempura, 2 nigiri salmon sushi, a volcano roll, a salmon oishi, and 2 large Asahi.Bottom line, yes I would recommend this place for good, fresh sushi but be aware that there may be a seating time limit even if they take a long time to get your food out and there are no guests waiting for a table and the server is not friendly and made us feel unwelcome.

First of all, food was good. However, I thought the service was not especially for a Japanese restaurant. Not sure if it's only that day. But not welcoming. Also, I wish they imform in advance they change gratuity for all. Couple of my friends end up paying tip on top of it unintentionally. Again food ok, service could be
