Sake Hana

Last week, I visited my mom. I grew up a lot closer to Philly, but she now lives in a suburb near the south edge of Pennsylvania. We went out to Sake Hana in Avondale, PA with some of the family, who've all come to like the place a lot.

The table shared the Golden Bag appetizer, which is basically crab rangoon, and the Beef Negimaki appetizer, which is basically a steak roll. It's thin slices of sirloin steak grilled with scallions, smothered in teriyaki sauce. Both were good!

My partner and I split the Rock'N Roll, which is shrimp tempura with cucumbers inside, topped with spicy tuna, spicy salmon, crunchy masago and sesame seeds, as well as the Double Happiness Roll, which is spicy crab meat and cream cheese topped with shrimp, avocado, and spicy mayo. Both were good, and we particularly enjoyed the Double Happiness Roll.

The service was nice, but felt slow since we've grown so used to accelerated city lives, but it actually probably wasn't, and slowing down for a week probably did us some good.
