HELL’S KITCHEN — The owner of an Upper West Side sushi joint is rolling into a new restaurant space on 10th Avenue.

Like Kitaro Sushi on Amsterdam Avenue, Han Japanese Restaurant will serve a la carte sushi and sashimi, teriyaki dishes, pan fried noodles and other standard Japanese fare, according to a menu filed with Community Board 4.

The restaurant will open at 854 10th Ave. in April, owner Guo Yong Chen said. The space, located between West 56th and 57th streets, was previously home to Hanci Turkish Cuisine.

Entrees including chicken teriyaki, Chilean sea bass and Karaage chicken will range in price from $12 to $20, according to the menu.

Specialty sushi rolls like the “Hot Ninja” with crunchy, spicy salmon and fried onion topped with pepper, salmon and tangy avocado sauce will go for $14 and $15 per roll.

The restaurant will also serve two special rolls that ostensibly give a nod to wireless technology: the “3G Charger” featuring spicy crunchy crab, avocado and cucumber topped a variety of fish, and the “My 4G” filled with shrimp tempura and cucumber and topped with fish including a Dijon-glazed tuna with crunchy flakes.

Lunch specials, meanwhile, will range in price from $8 for two rolls, miso soup and salad to $14 for sashimi, Unaju or salmon and tuna.

Lunch bento boxes will cost $11 and dinner boxes will range from $19 to $21, the menu shows.

Han has also applied for a license to serve wine and beer, the Community Board 4 filing shows.
