Hanko Sushi

I previously said I hated this place. That was because I made poor decisions, not because Hanko did. I really, really love sushi. I am really, really, weary of chains. But this one is in Forum, where (for the 1,023^rd time) my kid can be really, really loud and no one cares. (He’s actually not the jerk I make him out to be… he’s a good kid. For about 10 minutes at a time). Also — they have sticky rice with cucumber spears for 2eur in case you’re a crappy mom like me and forgot anything but an Elowena bar and sippy cup of almond milk to take for your kid for the day (hint: go get a banana or avocado at Kippo beforehand and BAM! You’re mom of the year and gold medaled for feeding your kid organic, well-​rounded meals).
On to Hanko: they have a lunch special that makes me cry tears of joy! 9.50 for 10 – 12 pieces of sushi. Order the vegetarian one. It’s the bomb and delicious and very varied. They’ll make it egg-​free for you but don’t bother — give your kid the egg nigiri. The lunch special is really the draw. Otherwise, I think their food is overpriced for what it is.
The staff deserve a lot of points for being nice and quick and helpful. There are a lot of business meetings, business lunches, solo diners, and mums with kids here at lunchtime and everyone seems to be really happy. I highly recommend for a quick lunch at a great price with really delicious (vegetarian) food. Skip the miso if you are vegan — it has fish stock. And they’ll totally whip up egg-​free vegan platters for you, too :) We go here almost every day on our way home from the gym. That should be a testament to their amazingness.
