This teeny tiny sushi joint packs a lot of flavor yet somehow still seems to be just a touch under the radar. Located on 38th and 3rd Avenue, Hane Sushi has only a handful of tables that are often grabbed quickly by Murray Hill dwellers or hungry after-work people seeking an intimate and delicious dinner.
The warm colored wood restaurant boasts no special glamour or appeal and the small and close together tables can occasionally inhibit intimate conversation, but what have you. Service is attentive and polite and waitresses are happy to explain some of the unique dishes, many of which are portrayed on a menu sheet with less than flattering pictures. Go with it.
Signature rolls are innovative and fresh. My hands down favorite sushi roll, ever, is the Panko Crusted Tuna roll that I just think is out of this world. For entrees, the Yuzu Miso Cod, broiled and marinated in yuzu miso sauce for $16 is tasty and light (though not a huge portion).
Though many locals know of this sushi den, it remains unknown to many. For a quiet and low key sushi meal, this little sushi haven is tops.
