The service has occasionally been patchy, but any mistakes have always been promptly apologised for. It's difficult to say whether this place is worth a special trip; while there are certainly places that do better sushi (generally at higher prices), there aren't many convenient to Bermondsey that offer this range and quality at this price (although there's always [[Feng Sushi]] at [[Locale London Bridge|London Bridge]], if that's your thing; different atmosphere, though). One big plus point is its location — a mere minute's walk from [[Bermondsey Station|Bermondsey tube station]] (turn right on exit from the station, it's a little further along on your right).

Poppy Hana opened on Jamaica Road around September 2006, replacing the previous (English) version of the business, and describing itself as “the Japanese restaurant with fusion”.

Kake has visited several times, and sent Bob and doop to fetch takeaway sushi several more: the prices are reasonable, the range is good, and the quality is acceptable. The nigiri menu includes salmon roe, flying fish roe, amaebi, octopus, and scallop; prices range from £2 for two tamago nigiri through £3.00 for two tuna nigiri up to £3.75 for two sea urchin nigiri. When it comes to the starters, the yakitori (£2.95 for four skewers) isn't the best ever, but isn't the worst either. The takoyaki (battered octopus balls, £2.95) is notable for the bonito flakes they put on top; when they bring it to your table the dried bonito flutters around in the heat, almost looking like something alive! Sadly, this feature doesn't survive the takeaway process. (Prices in this paragraph as of December 2006.)
