My husband booked a table for last night valentines night, we had never been before, had the best time ever the entertainment with the chefs was a night out in itself, i tried the egg catching was hopeless at it hahah the food was outstanding, i cant believe I've never visited this restaurant before we will def be visiting again brilliant

Everytime I visit here I remember why I keep coming back, the staff are courteous and helpful, the food is well prepared and generous and the atmosphere makes a great evening. you can go as a couple for a meal with a difference or perfect for a celebration. Highly recommended

We have regularly visited Hanahana over the years but never written about our experiences. This is in our opinion the BEST Japanese restaurant in Newcastle and we have visited many. Paul and his staff are fantastic. We have never had a disappointing meal. The Saturday lunchtime menu is a delight and a bargain. The surroundings are adequate but I visit a restaurant for the food and service not the wallpaper etc. Try the sushi and the teppanyaki menus. Awesome!

We went for my birthday in aug it is so nice def go again really nice food.

went on tuesday night for my sons birthday and had a excellent time , good food and the chefs entertainment fantastic,

My wife and I went for our wedding anniversary. Had a great night, food and staff were first class, only downside was the wait. We had booked for 9pm and did not get seated till 9.30pm. The atmosphere at the table was excellent everybody including the chef had a night to remember. Thoroughly recommended.

Me and my girlfriend went here for a meal before Christmas an found the food was amazing. we ordered from the set meal and a portion of tuna sushi, and the way they cook the food in front of you is brilliant. tried the egg flipping into the hat, as did the girlfriend, but its a lot harder than it looks!! overall the food was outstanding, but was quite expensive. then again u do pay for quality. definitely worth a visit

Our party had a great time at this restaurant. The service is prompt and efficient, the atmosphere is fun and most importantly, the food is tasty and plentiful. I would recommend the "String of Pearls" set menu, which offers a variety of delicious dishes including a sushi taster, lovely teriyaki chicken, swordfish, garlic tiger prawns and sirloin steak, all prepared on the hot plate in front of you in a fun and energetic cooking style. Make sure you try the excellent Japanese Kirin beer and join in with the egg juggling when asked, its great fun!

This place is alright. It's by no means a GREAT restaurant but not a bad one either. If your easily enticed by a CHINESE guy imitating a JAPANESE CHEF juggling eggs in between cooking what is essentially a variation of Chinese food, whilst surrounded by the odd youth team graduate footballer then so be it. However, if you're after a true traditional Japanese food sushi experience, you should have gone to Nagomi on Stowell Street before Newcastle's uncultured crowd closed it down through their ignorance to try GOOD food. Anyway, on a different note, Hanahana is quite fun when you go with a large group of friends and the owner and chefs are happy to indulge in SAKE drinking sessions past closing time. All in all, it's worth the higher price, just for the experience and entertainment.

This restaurant without doubt serves the best Japanese food in Newcastle, I have been there several occasions and each time it just gets even better. Oh and there's the added bonus of eating out in the same restaurant as famous football stars.

This is without doubt the finest restaurant I have every frequented in Newcastle! The staff are very friendly and the service is excellent, and words simply can not describe the quality of the food which is quite simply outstanding!! Everything is cooked fresh in front of you by the very entertaining and highly skilled chefs, and Don't be surprised to see many a famous footballer in here as well, overall I would rate this as one of, if not the best restaurant in the North of England. Will definitely be coming back on a regular basis.

After previous Experiences with a certain teppanyaki restaurant 4 doors away from Hanahana's I was dubious about going to this one but once i entered, my partner and I felt welcomed and well pampered. Service was quick and food was a marvel. Chef was chatty and waitress service was excellent. Highly recommended as the best teppanyaki in Newcastle/Northeast! Wonderful surroundings. Will definately go again. Go for the Lobster!!

A great place to start a stag evening. With good food and entertaining chefs. Its fairly quick overall and very central to enable you to go on to the comedy club then a nightclub
