Hana Japan wants to help you create lasting memories. An East Bay Tradition with a Twist  Hibachi dining or teppanyaki dining, is an exciting and unique way of dining. Never for boring dinners, guests come in for exciting table side cooking with a flare. Hibachi chefs here served perfectly cooked USDA Choice Black Angus beef and savory and buttery seafood. Chef Daniel Yoon opened up his first Hana Japan in 1979, and has since opened several more, including in Berkeley in 2006. Hana Japan values Berkeley’s and East Bay’s senses of community, tradition and family where generations of diners have celebrated milestones, birthdays and shared laughter at our tables. Make sure you get the famous fried rice, which is cooked with homemade garlic butter that makes the rice melt-in-your-mouth delicious. Free Birthday Hibachi Meals, Perfect for the Holidays and Celebrations Hana Japan Steak and Seafood has been for years the go-to spot for birthdays. Hana Japan offers a free birthday entreé (up to $39 value, and up to $18 for children under 10) as long as guests bring in a party of four (4) or more guests, dine within a week of their birthday and show a valid ID. And guests can celebrate as many times as they would like during their birthday week—as they bring a party of four or more.  Perfect for Large Groups and Celebrations  Along with birthdays, Hana Japan is the spot for anniversaries, holiday gatherings with family and even company dinners and off-sites. Group dining at Hana Japan’s hibachi tables takes the stress out of planning.  Hana Japan Steak and Seafood has two large rooms that can hold up to 100 guests, making it a fun and exciting way for companies to celebrate with their teams together, with live-entertainment, and for large family gatherings to celebrate their special occasion, graduation, or monumental achievement.
