Hatsu Omakase

Compared to SourAji and Sushi Hayashi, Hatsu is the worst of the three. I came for their 15% off February deal for last seating at 9:30. Inside is very small so you’ll be elbow to elbow at the sushi counter. Service was very good, but they poured the drinks slower than other places. Their sake selection was also not great, but they did offer champagne. The omakase itself was underwhelming. Most of the fish during the omakase course were bland or had no taste. The AYCE portion was a generous 2 rounds and 30-40 minutes with choice of salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu. I wasn’t a fan of how they torched the salmon or undertorched the wagyu, but the pieces were regular size and not filled with extra rice. I ended up ordering 37 additional pieces and wasn’t that full. I wouldn’t recommend this place and would say go to Sushi Hayashi (1) or SourAji (2) instead.

Actually just zero notes for this ayce omakase!!! i had a great experience dining with them! Rice to fish ratio was perfect, quality was great, service was amazing!!!!

Highly recommend. Ayce salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna and wagyu. All you can drink sake.

Tried this new omakase in east village and it was absolutely worth the try!!! This omakase comes with 16 courses, not including AYCE option after you finish the 16 courses for price of $99. You can BYOB!! The starters starts with my favorite oyster, then real crab salad; following by miso soup. The omakase consists for 13 different of nigiris. The highlight was the fatty tune with caviar dusted by gold flake. It was definitely very fancy!! After you finished the nigiris, you have a choice to fatty tuna, lean tuna, wagyu beef and also salmon for AYCE. You can simply tell the chef how many pieces you would like. After we were finished with the meal we finished off with dessert!! I was super duper fulled after the meal, usually I was left hungry after trying other omakase place but this AYCE omakase place is over my expectations. In addition, I got 15% off for the grand opening, but I heard it’s only for the month February only. Definitely will come back next time!!

We had the pleasure of trying the 13-course omakase at this newly opened restaurant for my bf’s bd, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. Each dish was crafted with precision, featuring top-quality ingredients with flavors well-balanced, and presentation stunning. One of the most impressive aspects was their all-you-can-eat (AYCE) offering after the initial 13 courses, which included unlimited A5 Wagyu—an absolute treat! The generous portions and exceptional quality made this meal not only delicious but also a fantastic value. We ended our meal on a perfect note with a delightful dessert, leaving completely full and satisfied. If you’re a fan of high-end omakase with a unique twist, this spot is definitely worth checking out!

all you can eat omakase. Such a steal plus the the chef was sooo nice 😇😇 Had a wholesome experience here!

This is a new restaurant and we came to try their 13 course omakase. The food was delicious, very high quality. They offer ayce after the 13 courses including ayce A5 wagyu. We left super full and satisfied.

So great! Would def go back! Great food and friendly service. It starts with omakase course then all you can eat paired with all you can drink sake.

For the month of February they were offering 15% off their regular price of $95 per person which was a great deal. This included 14 courses, unlimited sake, and unlimited salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and Wagyu. Fish was fresh and delicious and even for the unlimited portion, they didn't skimp on the toppings for the fish or the sake. They had a yuzu sake, a dry, and an extra dry. Food started off quickly as we started a few minutes late because they were cleaning and setting up from the prior group and courses kept a steady pace. Chef kept going to make sure everyone was good even while making the sushi. The sake started off slow but was continuously refilled after the first 30 min and they even switched to larger cups so they didn't need to come back as often or quickly (which they did anyways). For the unlimited portion, you can get unlimited salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and Wagyu after the first 14 courses. They did 5 rounds in total - asking how many we wanted of each fish separately in the first 4 rounds, and then the final round you call out how many of each fish together. I didn't feel rushed at all during this meal. It was run very efficiently. For unlimited sushi and sake, this was a great deal! With the efficiency and the service, I would definitely come back.

Out of all the AYCE places I've been to in New York, Hatsu is by far my favorite. Yes, the space is small and they're still figuring out things like timing but the staff was super kind and I thought the fish was pretty solid! There's 3 options for seating: omakase bar, DIY window, and DIY table. DIY window simply refers to the counter seats facing the window (seats up to 3) and DIY table refers to their single table (I think can probably seat up to 5?). The only difference between the DIY window/table and omakase bar is that they bring your sushi in sets vs a piece at a time. They also give you your own sake bottle to pour from. For the omakase, I thought the pieces were pretty solid and enjoyed them all! Contrary to another review, my uni was good. I also thought the ratio of rice to fish was the best of the AYCE spots I've visited. For the AYCE round I also really appreciated that they took 2 orders vs everywhere else that only lets you order once. The choices are salmon, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu and all 4 were delicious! Lastly, the staff was super sweet and friendly, asking how things were going and continually checking in on us. Next time I'm craving sushi, you bet I'm coming back here.

Hatsu is another type of slotted express sushi spot but with an "AYCE" at the end. Quality was decent --some good pieces, but mostly not memorable. Their uni (one of my faves) was a huge disappointment and didn't have that sweet taste. Overall my experience here was more on the mediocre side. We were seated around 7:10pm because the last seating was running late and they still had to clean up. They gave us a mini ikura bowl to start with and I went to use the bathroom quickly, but came back to my dish gone! They did replace it which was nice, but I don't know how many times the guy serving me forgot my order and honestly, it just didn't leave a good impression for me. Additionally, some people were getting their AYCE pieces torched and ours wasn't.. the inconsistency and not to mention some pieces were so COLD. Straight out of the fridge cold, which is not appealing. For me, this was a one and done spot to try out. Decent value if you can really eat. The salmon and the fatty tuna were the best AYCE pieces. The other two offerings is the regular tuna (akami) and the wagyu (too chewy for my liking).

Great deal for sushi! We started off with miso soup, then appetizer of crab and ikura, then the sushi started coming out in groups. Each pieces were really good and varied in taste. Then, at the end we get 3 rounds of ordering for ayce of 4 options: shrimp, lean tuna, fatty tuna and wagyu, followed by sesame mochi ice cream for dessert. I noticed the ayce portion size was smaller and the rice aren't packed as well and was falling off, but that's expected since they have to make so many in a short time. I chose to not drink alcohol but they have sake and beer included as well. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. Overall I'm satisfied with the taste and value of this meal and would consider going back.

Hatsu Omakase is a new omakase restaurant in the east village. They offer traditional sushi of various kinds with a minor twist. The twist is enough to make you ponder what you've been missing all this time. The sushi chef was extremely informative and the staff made sure your glass was never empty. After the omakase set course, you can order unlimited salmon, tuna, fatty tuna, and wagyu which I think is a great business model. I am happy to pay the $9 congestion pricing just to come to Hatsu Omakase.

Best fish quality of all the AYCE omakase places I've been to within NYC. Also, great fish to rice ratio. Good service and great chefs delivering fish directly to us. Overall, highly recommend.

Oh my god. So good. I stopped eating because gluttony is an embarrassing trait. Go hungry and eat, eat, eat.

Great food, great drinks, even better service. Pretty dam good for the price. Jacky and his staff was very friendly!

Food was great and chefs are receptive to any adjustments that are asked. Fish quality was v fresh. Uni was questionable (though it probably was just mine since the ppl next to me said that theirs was very good). It's a nice little spot, and worth the price (unlimited sake also included!!).

Food was so good, all the pieces was good, only one I thought was a little off was uni. Service was excellent and the chefs/owner allow adjustments to any pieces Great value ayce and all you can drink sake

Highly recommend for an excellent AYCE omakase experience! The omakase part of the meal was fantastic. Great portion sizes and very high quality fish, with really thoughtful flavor pairings. Everyone lost their minds over the torched salmon with foie gras and black truffle. I'm also not super into uni or eel unless they're very good and both hit the mark. My husband went to a high end omakase restaurant last week for more than double the price and said he preferred this meal over that one! The all you can eat part of the meal was also solid. I will say the pieces are a little inconsistent in terms of preparation, but it's understandable given the sheer volume they had to make in a short amount of time. They also didn't bat an eye when people ordered 20 pieces of something. They also added a few special things for us, like a very seasonal baby squid that's only available for a couple weeks. Pretty good all you can drink selection as well! And the service was fantastic, always on top of clearing and refilling super fast. The seating is a bit tight at the bar but overall it's worth it.
