The Sights, Sounds, and Tastes in Hana Zen This 4th of July

In any city, you’ll find restaurants that everybody goes to mainly because it’s a force of habit.  The place just reeks of history and tradition that you wouldn’t really mind if the food prices are a bit steep or if service runs a bit slower than usual.  You just want to brag to all your friends that you’ve actually gone there.  The bragging rights and the wonderful experience do make it worthwhile to go to this restaurant that has become a landmark of some sorts.  In San Francisco, Hana Zen is one of those restaurants. 

Since starting operations, Hana Zen has indeed become one of San Francisco’s culinary landmarks, particularly known for its two beautiful locations, impeccable service, and delectable seafood.  If you were to ask any native of the city of San Francisco of where good sushi can be eaten in the area, chances are Hana Zen would come up in the conversation.  Its reputation as one of the best Japanese restaurants not only in the city but in the state is actually well-supported.  In terms of food, the main drawers are the various rolls, yakitori, poke, and salmon fillets, which should be perfect for either casual dining with the family or an intimate romantic dinner for two.  

The crowd in Hana Zen is usually composed of people who want to enjoy a beautiful scenic place, business people who do business lunches, groups of friends, lovers, tourists and visitors who want to try the Hana Zen experience.  Yes, this is a type of restaurant that San Franciscans would dine and entertain their visitors to (at least, if they want to impress them). If you are looking for a place to hold a party with a dinner at the water front in SF, then the restaurant is definitely a welcome and discriminating option, as it has party rooms available.  You may also request for a specialized menu to accommodate special occasions.

Dinner by the bay at Hana Zen this 4th of July would be a sight to behold because the breathtaking sky scenery will be alight with fireworks.  You can certainly get the front seat of the dazzling display at Hana Zen’s Pier 39 restaurant.  Of course, the food is always very elegant too, with plate presentation classy enough for the ordinary Joe to sometimes think twice before eating something so pretty.  The attention to detail is obvious in every plate, prepared in almost clinical precision depending on the diner’s preference.  As for what to drink, visitors are particularly amazed at the restaurant’s full bar.  The sake-infused cocktails have earned the rave of both regulars and visitors to both the Union Square and Pier 39 branches.  

Be sure to check out, or better yet, request to be seated at the front area of the Pier 39 restaurant on the 4th of July.  You will surely be regaled by the fireworks, the sumptuous food, and the scintillating sea breeze.  Celebrate our nation’s independence by doing something different – eating exotic Japanese food in one of San Francisco’s culinary institutions.
