While it is discreetly nestled in the corner of a busy strip mall, Hanabai is a pure delight and a hidden jem in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.
Upon your arrival at Hanabai, you are warmly greeted by Sera (pronounced Sara) the owner and sushi chef. Almost always busy and filled with young, old all ages and ethnicities, Hanabai seems to be the place to go when you are craving sushi and want a inexpensive taste of quality cuisine served up with a friendly smile.

From a wide variety of sushi rolls to traditional Japanese fare, Hanabai serves up success in the quiet, family town of Buffalo Grove. My favorites are Sera's Spider Rolls (soft shell crab), Crazy Rolls (jalapeno and scallops) and the always wonderful California Roll (crab, cucumber and avocado). If you are looking for a new spot to try some delish Japanese fare, give Hanabai a try!

Tell Sera Krista sent ya!
