  • 4/5 Mark S. 4 years ago on Google ā€¢ 664 reviews
    Excellent addition to downtown area in refurbished former motel. Headed to a show at Smith Center. Service was friendly, accomodating, knowledgeable and had passion for their product and surroundings...all the things you want in your staff. However, could tell many staff members were just "green" enough to miss some basic service steps...but not drastic enough to hamper the experience. Food was well prepared and presented....quick too. Fried quail was our favorite. They have unique items too like chicken hearts and lamb leg off the robata. Cocktail were tasty and well thought out. Sake list was a good size, but ironically not a lot of valued options despite the vast diversity. Will be back. Keep up the good work.

    Me and my girlfriend (we will call here L) came here for a anniversary of sorts. When L showed me the truck model/art thatā€™s out in the front restaurant I was totally hooked to go. We got there and there was going to be a wait for 45 minutes, we waited like 10 minutes so first win. The service was excellent, server was friendly and cool. The food was really good despite its small portions. Would recommend anyone to go here.

    Guys. Words can't do this place justice, you HAVE to come here and try it yourself! It's right by this really cool statue. Wish I had taken pics of the food because it was beautiful, fresh and delicious. A little pricey but totally worth it!!!

    We wanted to try something new, the food is amazing it is prepared fresh, it's fast but for me it's just not enough. All items or just about all items are on skewers great for sharing by the time we left we were still hungry I didn't want to spend another $70 on Stick food although delicious that's why I give it five stars check out the photos

    Deciding on whether to give four or five stars for Hatsumi is a challenge for me. In many areas areas Hatsumi is a standout and a great part of the local food scene. Upon arrive we were greeted and shortly shown to a table. We arrive a bit earlier than most and the restaurant was mainly empty. Being our first time there, our waiter explained the menu and off we went. We ordered a variety of items to try out along with a few drinks. Everything that came to our table was visually appealing, a little small on the portion size, but and ultimately tasty. The same was true for our drinks as well. Maybe that was the problem. Some of the food was too tasty, and given the size we needed or order a lot to feel like we were well fed. Here is the only area that was not perfect - the final bill. We eat out on a regular basis and are familiar with the costs, however this was on a level that I did not expect. Maybe I could have been better prepared, or counted the little sticks we ordered better, but that is not something that I am accustomed to doing. So in the end, we would love to return, just once my wallet has recovered.

    I'd have pictures of the food, but we inhaled it so fast. Everything was so on point. The cocktail to start was great. The sake recommendation was on point. All the small plates were phenomenal. Skip the strip and come here for dinner. We had way more value at this place than any restaurant that pays a celebrity chief for their face on the menu.

    Seriously from start to finish everything was amazing. Service was great with our server Juan. Everything was so flavorful. We did order the whole menu basically so next time we know we can cut back a little. Definitely can't wait to come back.

    Bar tender made us some killer drinks. He was really good on educating us about Japanese whiskey. Food was amazing too

    When it was announced that Dan Krohmer would open dueling Japanese and Mexican Restaurants inside long-defunct Fergusons Motel there was certainly skepticism, but billed as an ode to Japanese omotenashi Hatsumi not only offers something unique for downtown denizens but gives locals as well as tourists another reason to visit Fremont East. Concepted as an Izakaya specializing in Robatayaki, the smell of charcoal greeting nostrils even before opening Hatsumiā€™s front door, it is once inside that the space unfolds narrow and comfortable, a good deal of Alcohol lining shelves along one end while the kitchen, grill and walk-in occupy the other half. Apt for comparisons to Abriya Raku in Chinatown, a longtime Vegas stalwart that remains busy to this day, it is important to first note that Hatsumiā€™s intention has never been ā€œauthenticityā€ but rather good Food and ā€œsubliminal happiness,ā€ the latter fortified by clever Cocktails including several based on Whiskey or Sake along with inspired mixes like the Chill Pill that takes PiƱa Coladas in a new direction by reining-in sweetness with Matcha. Similarly priced to Raku, and more affordable than other dtlv hotspots in terms of Food and Beverage, it was after some suggestions that omakase was then deferred to Chef de Cuisine Bobby Silva, a total of thirty items beginning with sharable sides including Potato Salad, spicy Cauliflower and Turnip Kimchi followed by round-after-round over the next two hours. Continuing with handmade Gyoza, Pork selected over Vegetarian filling and five per order, it was after breaking the crispy lattice that Dumpling proved fat and juicy, additional sides such as marinated Cucumbers and salted Edamame simple but enjoyable while Chef Krohmerā€™s Gomae uses Sesame and thick Miso to compliment softened Spinach. More complex with Beef Tataki, thinly sliced Muscle given textural complexity and a bit of spice by its toppings, those who know Danā€™s work from Other Mama will not want to pass on Lomi Lomi that on this night consisted of Ocean Trout with Onions, Tomatoes and vibrant Ponzu. Turning now to Skewers, all served in generous portions and most aggressively seasoned, it was first a duo of Chicken Thigh and Breast that tempted diners, the latterā€™s leanness in no way leaving Flesh dry while the Dark Meat sported charred edges and rendered Fat that played well off blackened Green Onions. Not afraid to challenge more timid eaters with Offal, ribbons of Wagyu sandwiched between Tongue, Thymus, Skin and Heart, it was to everyoneā€™s surprise that both Chicken bits were big hits while others received less effusive praise, though they too were cooked appropriately and in no way robbed of their natural flavors or textures. Keeping it simple with Shrimp, a good snap yielding sweet Flesh with a hint of smoke, medium-rare Lamb arrived appropriately fatty but a bit too salty while Tsukune with dipping Sauce and briskly grilled Quail each received raves, as did the Tomatoes wrapped in Bacon. In no way shielding diners from the minerality of Chicken Liver, this and blistered Shishitos the only items with any left at mealā€™s end, it was after bundles of Asparagus bound by Bacon that skewers concluded with Chicken Wings, Meat liberated by the slightest pull and providing a nice transition to Fried Quail with Bones mostly removed and ground Pork in their place. More than a little impressed by Slaw served alongside the Bird, its bitterness refreshing the palate between bites, it was prior to three flavors of housemade Mochi that Okonomiyaki arrived, and although perhaps ā€œcheatingā€ somewhat by adding Bacon a dish translated ā€œGrill As You Likeā€ seems perfectly suited to interpretation that in this case sees it light, virtually oilless and chock-a-block full of umami.
