"Just got back from an adventure on the North Shore: whether you are camping in the BWCA, chilling in a cozy cabin in Grand Marais, or exploring the Gun Flint Trail campsites, you might be craving something fresher than fast food! On your way through Duluth, swing by Hanabi for a sushi experience that’ll make your taste buds dance! Their happy hour runs daily from 2 to 4 PM (except Sundays), and let me tell you, the selection is fantastic! The fish is super fresh, and the prices won’t make your wallet cry. It’s the perfect way to refuel after your wild escapades—happy sushi feasting! 🍣🎉"

"Loved the presentation, service, and atmosphere. Cool art on the wall, lofi music playing, and studio ghibli on the bar TV. Fun mocktail menu - the raspberry punch is yummy. I only tried one dish and it was pretty good, but not amazing. I’d def go back to sample more of the menu."
