Hanabi Hibachi& Sushi features two separate spaces, each highlighting a different aspect of their cuisine.  Each environment offers a unique dining experience that combines the organic beauty of flowers in their zen garden Flower Room with the brilliance of fire and celebration with hibachi and teppanyaki cuisine in the Fire Room.
