Hatsuhana - New York

Great atmosphere, outstanding and friendly service, and amazing food. Every piece of the omakase was trilling. You have no choice but to leave with a smile.Food: 5/5

As to be expected a very good Japanese restaurant. If you are going with more than two, reservations is a must even for weekday lunch. I felt the food quality was great but not sure it justify the price. But you are paying for the atmo and service. Good place to impress dates.Food: 4/5

Maybe it 's just me but when I go for omakase I 'm picturing sitting at the sushi bar, the chef working his mastery around the rice and sashimi, serving one piece of art at a time.Hatsuhana (my 2nd time being here) is a box they bring to your table. Yes it looks pretty and it 's cheaper than a traditional omakase. However for me it loses the chefs tasting aspect of it. Also the taste of the sushi itself was ok. Not amazing as I 've been to some places that have blown my mind.Regardless, good place, cool ambiance and amazing staff.

We ordered six or seven different types of sushi during our visit for dinner prior to seeing a show. It was odd that the waiter told us we didn’t order enough food wish he was joking but he was not. All of the sushi was just ok. The black cod lacked real flavor and the yellowtail was a bit chewy. The staff was attentive but our waiter really had no interest in being there. My gut is that this place is resting on its name ID from its 40 years of operation without much effort to engage with its customers more than it has to.

Yummy and delicious just like the photos. Welcoming staff, and very friendly. Really a must when you visit.
