Hanamaru Sushi Buffet

Awesome sushi, such a great selection of dishes. Corn dog was fantastic. Service was great, efficient and quick! A wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely come back! Thank you Hanamaru!

Had a great time eating lunch here, they had a discount during this time on rice dishes. The salmon don is great, would love to see more carrots in the curry. The okonomiyaki is flavourful. I think the corn dog I ordered dough was a little undercooked. The cheesecakes are on the more solid side and slightly eggy, so if you prefer that, then order them!
The owner was very very nice despite running the restaurant on his own, and he even gave us an ice-cream taiyaki as a thanks for us stacking the dishes we had finished. Overall a pleasant time with not much to fuss over.

We came in for the lunch service and were met by a lovely staff member working on his own. He seated us and apologised for the slow service as he was the only one on duty. The service was quick and the food portions massive. Food was presented beautifully and exceeded expectations taste wise. The staff member was so lovely and kept apologising for the “slow” service even though he was quick and serving amazing, quality food. An amazing first experience, thank you to the lovely staff member who looked after us! We will be sure to come back to enjoy your service again for dinner when you’re fully staffed! ☺️

Nothing special over here, came during dinner time and it was really quiet with only one other table of customer. There are a limited selection of sushi, maybe because it was a Tuesday. The fried food was not crispy and udon tasted ordinary. The chicken katsu was cold and not enjoyable at all.
however the service was excellent

MUST TRY sushi train place in Springvale, great value for a bowl of ramen noodle $9.80 and curry rice for only $12.90! Amazing sushi to go with it! Nice environment too, can't get better than this in Springvale :)

Overall 5 ⭐ experience although I must say the ala carte dish I ordered, Katsudon, needs a little more flavor (just for my preference). The sushi was great and it was so fresh..The restaurant experience was excellent because of the warm and attentive service of the crew and the cleanliness of the restaurant. We will definitely go back here. 😊

Very nice Sushi and well priced. I loved there Nigiri and prawn noodle soup. The restraunt was not very crowded for Sunday lunch but it is competing with a multitude of eating places in Springvale. The service was very friendly and the restraunt was very clean. Food was fresh which is very important for Japanese food. Overall very satisfying Japanese. Please add the chicken karage to the menu.

Certainly the rice has improved. I quite enjoy the new rice dishes particularly at the temporary discounted prices! The salmon don was particularly well presented and tasted fresh and healthy. Keep it up

New sushi train restaurant in Springvale located between ANZ and Bun Bun. Pleasant environment and was very clean. Very polite and efficient service. Ordered via grabbing dishes off the sushi train or via QR code (needed this for udon). Unfortunately on my day of eating the music was slightly too loud so the ambience was not the best.

Cost of dishes was based on the colour of the plates starting at $3.90 to $7.90. There was a 10 percent discount if a review was written which I did not utilise to avoid bias.

As an overall feel (and this could have been the unfortunate day of my experience) the rice on all the sushi felt really mushy and gluggy. There was so much potential as the toppings and ingredients used tasted fresh and nice.

Ordered
Salmon nigiri $3.90. The salmon was nice and plump.

Scallop nigiri $5.90. Felt abit expensive particularly as the scallop used was tiny. Was not my favourite.

Salmon cream cheese roll $4.90. Loved the mixture of textures on this role. The creaminess was great however once again was let down by the rice.

Eel cream cheese roll $4.90. the eel version was just as good!

Udon karage chicken and udon tampura prawns. 7.90 for each. Unfortunely the udon soup felt extremely watered down and lacked any flavour. The chicken also lacked salt and was quite dry. The tampura prawns, similar to the chicken felt about the same.

Sushi train has so much potential in Springvale. The price however was slightly too high for the quality I received and the rice on my day was likely a bad batch. I really hope it was just my day of eating as it is a newly opened restaurant. I will likely give it another go in a few months and update my review.
