About Hana Sushi Cafe

St Kilda Road workers quietly rely on this weekday counter for speedy sushi and generous hot Japanese kitchen staples. Hand rolls come made to order—the nutty brown rice stuffed with spicy tuna or crispy prawn is the move here. Beyond the cold case, steam pours off hearty bowls of katsu omurice, rich curry, and tender beef gyudon. The counter crew works at brisk pace, packing side tubs with pickled ginger and often prepping regular orders before a word is spoken. Cold winter lunch breaks call for the sukiyaki beef over dry udon.

  • Signature Brown Rice: Freshly rolled sushi featuring a popular nutty brown rice option, loaded with fillings like spicy tuna and crispy prawn.
  • Hot Kitchen Comforts: Generous, comforting staples including panko-crusted katsu omurice, rich curry, and tender beef gyudon.
  • Intuitive Counter Service: Brisk counter service where staff pack extra pickled ginger and frequently remember regular orders.
