Best sashimi that we ever tried! They offered us a personalized dish that wasn't on the menu with the freshly arrived fish 🐠🐟 from Japan 🗾 We had 8 different fishes, three pieces each and a roll and sushi 🍣 plate. The service and ambiance is amazing!

The food is good. However there is a table of Chinese customers who speaks very loudly and destroy the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. There could be sign that remind customers not to create noise and speak softly. We ordered some sushi and they are delicious. We could try that again but maybe when the atmosphere problem is resolved.

Forget your pedestrian bivalves, friends! Hastuhana has unleashed a kraken of oyster perfection, served with the siren song of real, spine-tingling authentic wasabi. We slurped, we savored, and frankly, our oyster compass is forever askew. Normal oysters now seem like cardboard cutouts of their former glory. And then there's the Dream Box, an edible masterpiece that's as much art as appetizer. We felt like barbarians gnawing on the Mona Lisa, but oh, what glorious barbarians we were! Every bite was a brushstroke of flavor, a testament to culinary genius. Speaking of genius, let's raise a sake to Umi. This sake sang on our tongues, a melody that wooed us into instant, devoted fans. We're hooked, line and sinker! But Hastuhana isn't just about the food (though, dear gods, the food!). The service is a symphony of attentiveness. Coats whisked away like fallen leaves, watchful eyes ensuring every plate arrives like a precious jewel. It's the kind of care that makes you feel like royalty, minus the stuffy crowns. Hastuhana, you've stolen our hearts (and probably a few taste buds along the way). We'll be back, lured by the siren song of wasabi and the promise of oyster nirvana. Consider us loyal subjects of your delicious kingdom!

Our favorite sushi restaurant in Manhattan. Must try their Signature bento boxes: Famtasies or Dream! Makes us smile every time we order this. Food is creative, fresh, and fun to eat. Service is amazing. Very popular place to dine so best to make a reservation in advance!

If you want good quality sushi then come to this place! Really impressed with the presentation of the food and the simplicity of the restaurant. Simple decor allows you to focus on the food and the company that you’re with. I would definitely eat here again. The sake selection is small but refined. Ask for recommendations! They do close the restaurant a little early before closing time so make sure you get your orders in before it happens. Wear a mask and show vaccination card when you enter!

We came for dinner on a Tuesday night with a reservation and were led straight to our table in the back of the restaurant. It likes very quaint but the servers were very helpful. The fish is super fresh and the whole experience was wonderful. We got the special miso soup as a starter and it was so good, kind of more smoky than regular miso. We wanted to try the box of frames and their rolls so they brought out the rolls as an appetizer. We got the eel, yellowtail scallion, and the spicy tuna rolls. My favorite was the yellowtail scallion it was perfectly balanced And I could honestly have three rolls of just that. The box of dreams: beautiful and delicious. Don’t be deceived, by the beautiful presentation, the box of dreams is very filling with perfectly balanced combinations of fish and flavors. I was pleasantly surprised to find Uni and toro in the box, definitely worth it! For dessert, the green tea dessert with red bean and mocha was a nice way to close our meal. The green tea ice cream was so creamy and delicious.

Had the box of dreams! It was a wonderful dining experience. They’re best known for their box of dreams. Make a reservation a weeks or two in advance! The appetizer menu was decent so I’d recommend just sticking with their sushi and sashimi. The monk fish liver and salmon carpaccio were pretty good. I’d skip everything else. The total bill for four people was $480.

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times for lunch. Everything’s great from service to service. Highly recommend Box of Dreams, value of money, be sure to make a reservation, the restaurant is filled out fast during lunch time.

Wonderful place, sat at the sushi bar, incredible atmosphere and sense of authenticity. We had both of their signature creations, the box and chirashi. Very interesting and creative. Fish was excellent.

Amazing experience. The staff was awesome and patient. The food.... what can I say but Perfection. From the first course to the last, each dish was expertly prepred and delicious. You can tell that this is top tier sushi grade fish. Simply excellent. 10/10 will repeat.

sushi is excellent and they always have great specials. The Oyster from Japan was amazing. This restaurant is the Pearl of Manhattan.

Everything is good except Japanese Wagyu not satisfied but thank goodness I just ordered one piece to try so not feel that bad.. bc normally at my favorite restaurant I usually order 10 pieces just the Wagyu..

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.

This place was highly recommended but I was a bit disappointed… The service was excellent but the freshness of seafood could be better. Some of the sushi were a bit dry when the plate arrived.

Good staff. Dreary decor & musty worn out carpet throughout the entire restaurant. Charging high end prices for subpar sushi, a few pieces were not fresh at all , had to spit it out. Didn’t meet expectations/ will not return.

Delicious, fresh fish in a wonderfully cozy space! Serious thought was put into every dish, from the presentation to the flavor, and everything we ordered was a hit (even the miso soup!). Will absolutely be coming back.

A good friend recommended Hatsuhana as I had other friends visiting from out of state! This place is amazing. The sushi was the most fantastic I have ever had, so fresh and tasty! The service was impeccable but my only frustration was the set up as it included stairs for our dinning which was a bit inconvenient and the restroom was a bit odd, I understand this is NYC so spaces are odd. Overall it was amazing! I hope you can get an even bigger space one day or a second location that is a bit more accessible.

Reasonably priced for high quality sushi and Japanese food. You could pay more but get less. Fresh and tasty fish and rice, the core of all sushi. Red miso is rich and flavorful. Gets busy at lunch so book ahead. Mix of clients. Lots of Japanese businessmen which is always a good sign as they focus on “cost performance” when choosing a lunch spot. いただきまーす！^_^

During my time in New York, I had a craving for sushi while exploring the city. I did a quick search on Google and found a great spot to satisfy my craving. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted delicious. The service was also exceptional. They offered great lunch specials that included many exclusive pieces of sushi. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

A 530 PM table for two at Hatsuhana on a Wednesday yielded the absolute best sashimi that I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, as well as impeccable service from all staff. We first ordered hot green teas and an avocado salad, and due to my gluten intolerance, the dish was modified by removing the sauce. We followed this with a Sashimi Deluxe plate each, (modified for me of course) where our server identified every piece of fish on the beautifully presented plate for us. The sashimi was a religious experience. I savored every bite of fish, some with eyes closed. Not only was there tsuma on the plate like normal, very good seaweed was present as well. The wasabi is real wasabi, and when we ordered individual pieces of salmon toro sushi, there was a tasteful dot of wasabi tucked between the fish and rice. Our green tea was never empty, with multiple perfectly timed free refills. After we finished our meals, we were presented with complementary houjicha (roasted green tea)! We left Hatsuhana with full bellies and a good mood, grabbing a few M&Ms from the complementary M&M dispenser on our way out.

For the quality it's Probably one of the best value sushi spots in the city, Sugar fish is up there as well (this is better since you can make a reservation). The service was great and the sushi was delish. Dinner was only $80! Thank you all!

Incredible food, got the box of dreams and my oh had a 10 piece sushi combo which was stunning - great prices for the quality of food too, highly recommend

Very good quality sushi, and good value. Service was great too. Reminds me of sushi shops in Japan. Highly recommend.

Complete let down!! From google map to waking in. Very different vibe, get-to-the-point service and slim thumb-size sushi were the breaking point… just here for decent food… ya know. And wine - bad and the glass… (see it yourself). Paid and left disappointed. However, went to the bathroom upstairs and it’s felt like a total restaurant and vibe , not sure what’s going on here but … I would stay away if you wanna have a nice experience (or ask to sit upstairs)Z

Exceptional sushi and sashimi. Some of the best I've had since I lived in Japan. Wide variety of imported fish. Elegant presentation. Creative combinations. Effective service. A bit crowded and noisy. But overall an excellent value for superb food.

Absolutely incredible! Very authentic and high quality food, service, and decor/ambiance. The fish was very fresh, well prepared and tasted incredible. We ordered the dream box and, boy, it was truly a dream! I highly recommend ordering the dream box as a very nice sampler dish. Additionally they have an absolutely delectable green tea ice cream and tea. Will come here again and I recommend you do as well!
