Hakane Sushi - OJAI

Great sushi. Safe and responsible chefs with the right kind of attitude you want re: handling raw fish. service staff has always been friendly. some of the reviewers here that rag on them are lacking perspective and compassion. this place, like so many in Ojai, is empty then gets slammed. staff does the best they can. instead of thinking of ways you can ask a server to bend over backwards for you and criticise where they fail, how about knowing what you want, ordering it, enjoying it and going on your merry way? want that special attention? you'll get it. come by when they first open up. don't create conflict and wait for peak times. small town. slammed staff. be considerate. They're nice people that deserve kindness. I'm happy to have them.

Very disappointed! It was our 40th anniversary and they were told about this special occasion. The service was simply terrible ? wait staff was talking/flirting with chef as we were trying to get refills of drinks. They brought all food with our appetizers, I just hate that! No acknowledgment of our special occasion? To make matters worse, the sushi was so skimpy and tasteless. They used to have delicious food but now it is an expensive waste!! So sad ?

One of the better sushi restaurants I have been too. Cute spot nice service. Fresh fish. Yum!

Mediocre sushi and hands down the worst service I've ever had at a restaurant. I understand young people need jobs and that typically lands in the service industry. Train your people and have a standard of service. My date ordered 3 things, one of which never showed up. When brought to the attention of the server we never received an answer as to where it was. Small rolls. The fish was lacking in quality as well. Sad to say. This place has gone way down hill over the years.

The fish was fresh tasting, the hot sake was great. The service was friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and you could sit inside or outside. I will return
