The sushi and sashimi here is excellent. You can see the chef really puts effort into his craft and all the various fish are top quality. The front of the house was a little disorganized when we arrived, and our server some times had communication issues. But overall it was still an enjoyable experience with friends.

This place is so good! Make a reservation though! I went for lunch on a weekday and this is where they take the clients so it's super busy. I was lucky to get in. The sushi is so fresh and tasty. I loved everything I ate! Box of Dreams: 10/10 The presentation is beautiful and the fish is amazing. Great deal for such high quality fish options including uni, scallops, and toro. Toro Tekka Don: 9.5/10 The toro truly melts in your mouth! I do wish the bowl itself was bigger. Even if that means more rice. It's so small. I also got the agedashi tofu. Not the best I've had but very good!

Really good sushi spot. Uni(Japan) was so amazing with a sweetness to it and melts in your mouth. Eel was really good as well. Salmon roll was ok, the mayo was too overpowering. Spicy tuna roll was really good especially for $8. Overall legit high quality sushi spot. The uni is pretty expensive but it's high quality so understandable. Clean and nice environment. Might wana make a reservation before going just to make sure cuz it gets busy. Accommodating staff.

Nothing wrong at all. I'm from LA so that's what I compare to... and, really, it's tough to compare to the best LA sushi. What stood out was the server... really knew what he was talking about and really got the details of the order correct. He was always right there when needed, too. Kittitad is what I see on the bill. I prefer my beer and sake a little colder but all was good overall. Maybe the best agedashi tofu we've ever had.

I absolutely love Hatsuhana and eat there on every visit to NYC. I've dined at the Waikiki shop several times and the quality and service is just as exceptional in NYC as in HI. Reservations are highly recommended and if I travel solo, I request the bar so I can chat with other patrons and see the sushi chefs in action. Their tuna and unagi is exceptional, as is their tamago, tempura, and their specialty garlic crab roll. That was a special roll they had a couple of months back that I'd get again if it was available. Their plum wine and desserts are also tasty, which I forgot to snap a picture of. The restaurant is spacious and has ample seating downstairs and upstairs. It's been around since the 80's and is a legendary spot in Midtown, so check it out if you can.

This restaurant has been here for a long time. Came here for lunch and they were extremely busy. Be sure to make a reservation as they are very busy during lunch. We got the Box of Dreams- fish was fresh and a nice variety. My favorite was the fatty tuna, scallop, yellowtail, uni and roe. Service was excellent.

Hatsuhana has been around since the 1970s and its lasting power and success is truly from the quality and care it provides. Came here as a party of 3 without reservation on a Monday evening at 6:45pm and was fortunately seated right away. Would recommend a reservation if you can plan ahead. The fish here is incredibly fresh. Their box of dreams is not only aesthetically appealing but each bite is a party in your mouth. The scallop was a favorite of mine. Would recommend the agedashi tofu to start, the sauce was umami and went well with the soft fried tofu. They had a special of soft shell crab (with ponzu for dipping on the side) which we also enjoyed. Don't forget to save some room for dessert as well! I think this is a great spot for celebrations with loved ones or to just come when you want a special treat

Food (4.5/5) - I got the Maki Three which with eel, salmon, and California - Got the shishito peopers, seaweed, green salad to share and found all three to be pretty yummy - Portion sizes were pretty good to decent! I was worried that I wouldn't be full, but I would say I was satiated - I enjoyed the rolls I got and definitely a step up from the cheaper places I usually go to Service (5/5) - Our server was very attentive and friendly Ambiance (5/5) - We sat on the lower level which felt more intimate and had less folks around - Great for catching up with friends or celebrating
