Hanzo

Japanese Style Gastropub

What makes it fun

Hanzo, A Japansese style pub, specilizes in handcrafted cocktails served with an asian twist. It's menu, which consists of traditional noodle bowls and small appetizers, is not a typical dinner spot but it comes extremely highly rated. Tucked away in Alamo Heights, the real magic of this bar is the low key location which incorperates decorations from Japan to establish a unique feel, you definitely wont think typical San Antonio. If thats not enough of a reason to check this bar out it also has two, count em', two happy hours for you and a loved one to celebrate the occasion.

Love the happy hour! It's definitely not worth it at full price though. Service is one of the worst in town. Seems the servers all dislike each other and really really loathe customers that ask them for simple things like chopsticks if it's not the table the server is waiting on.

Wonderful place for social gathering. The lighting is perfect for privacy and intimate conversations.

I had the pork boa, gyoza, and karaage chicken.Sad to say the only thing I liked was the alcohol and servers.The pork boa buns were dry. The bun broke in half and crumbled when I opened it. The honey pork was so overly dry my jaw hurt from chewing. The sides were a mix of different sized cuts (diced onions mixed with julienne onions).The gyoza was okay and piping hot.The curry... I wondered if the sauce was purchased pre-made. The rice was under done and the fired chicken had a uncomfortable amount of fat (uncleaned).I liked the concept from the adds I saw on Instagram but I won't be going back.

This place is one of my favorite places in San Antonio! The staff is very welcoming, the food is delicious, and the drinks are amazingly tasty! All the bartender are attentive, even if you don't know what to drink. Sometimes I just go in and tell them how I'm feeling and they will curate a drink based on that. They have never disappointed me with a cocktail.

Hanzo is always buzzing with a good vibe. Their tuna poke bowls are a favorite for us. Fun Japanese anime is constantly playing silently. The decor in the restaurant ranging from the koi fish tile to the kitschy Japanese street art in the bathrooms lends to the right look and feel. The bar is fully stocked so you can go here for a drink with friends or to enjoy s bite during happy hour. It’s always good times.

Hanzo is a great spot to go for a night out with friends or for a casual date night. While this Asian-inspired bar serves up a variety of drinks (including house cocktails, various sakes, and Japanese beers), they also have a food menu which features items such as bao buns, sushi and more. We tried the fried pork gyoza and 3 sushi rolls- all were absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the Rhubarb G&T but substituted the gin for tequila, and he really enjoyed the unique taste!On a Sunday night around 9pm, this bar was pretty packed and had a diverse group of customers. The service from the staff was excellent and the music and dark lighting created a very relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Great place with very chill vibes! Definitely coming back here! They’re fire breathing roll was amazing and their drinks were great! The staff seems very chill and helpful. There is limited seating inside so we sat at the bar but there is a lot of seating outside as well! Definitely coming back and would recommend to anyone to visit!

Absolutely excellent meal. We spent the morning here before they opened to use their projector for a meeting. The staff was very accommodating. We finished our meeting with lunch and it was wonderful!! I will definitely be coming back with my friends and family.
