š¤«Foodie Confession time. Iāve never been to Hatsuyaki Hand Roll until recently. I FINALLY bumped it to the top of the list. And oh my, Iām so glad I did.
āØAs soon as you walk into , itās a vibe. Firstly, thereās no table seating. The sushi chefs take center stage and thereās a U-shaped bar seating surrounding the action. Minimal wood accents define the spaces. Once seated youāre given your sushi menu and pencil where you make your menu choices.
š£If you havenāt figured out already they specialize in Hand Rolls. The sushi chef presents them to you as soon as they are made, which really makes for a nice flow. Thereās lots of options but we went the Combo Menu that included bay scallops, crab, lobster and salmon and yellow tail. Watching your sushi chef in action is a unique part of the experience. Once again the sushi takes center stage, the hand rolls are simply prepared with sushi and rice enveloped in a just crispy enough seaweed wrapper (nori). No cream cheese or avocado bells and whistles here, they arenāt needed. Each bite was decadent and delicious and we didnāt want the meal to end. Each roll had its own story and flavors and it was hard to decide on our favorite. Jiro can dream is sushi, Iāll dream of HatsuyskiāØ.
š«Hereās what you need to know if you are a first-timer. They do not take reservations and there can be a wait during their busy times. Please donāt let this stop you, itās worth the wait! We wandered around and had a pre-dinner drink. š907 Foch Street
