About
Restaurante Hana brings Japanese cuisine to Panajachel with mixed results. Passionate advocates point to an authentic atmosphere, attentive service, and properly executed dishes like gyoza and tempura, yet skeptics note concerns about fish quality in rolls, bland side dishes, and ingredient substitutions that diverge from traditional Japanese standards.

I mean... I don't know what the hype is about? Maybe I set my standards too high? I've been to Japan before and these portions are good amount (on Thursdays) but there is little to no fish in these rolls. The fried rice is bland. The tartar is VERY fishy and no other taste besides that. The rolls are maybe a 5/10 MAX. I wouldn't recommend coming here honestly.

Disappointing The beef in the bento box was previously cooked beef reheated, it was dry and bland. The cucumber salad was bland, the soy sauce requested to improve the taste was watered down with vinegar. The miso soup (no tofu no seaweed) was served in a plastic Bowl, something the Japanese would never do. see photos.

All is good except food. The salmon sashimi has nothing to do with salmon and the sushi has nothing to do with sushi… p1 is “sushi” (which is just roll!!!) and p2 is “salmon” (some unknown light orange fish…

LOVED this Japanese restaurant! It was so delicious and was the closest in flavour we’ve found . The patio is a wonderful place to enjoy your meal and take in the afternoon sun. We enjoyed the gyoza, spicy tuna roll , yakitori chicken and the tempura bowl. With our dishes we got miso soup with cute carrot flowers in them. All the flavours reminded me of Japan and it was so lovely ! The owner is Japanese and has lived in Guatemala since the early 2000 I think. Hana is a great restaurant!
