Twas the night before new years and all through the house, the wish was for sushi just for a douse. We rushed to our taxi and got through the door, with 10 minutes to closing and then raw fish was no more. Under their arm, they swept us quickly upstairs, showed us to our table and pulled out our chairs. On bonito, on Toro on king crab we cheered, and as fast as one blink in front of us it appeared. On eel roll on crab salad on Hamachi with glee, quick and kind service with care was all we could see. It was the Night before new years and all through Hatsuhana our bellies were no longer stirring, The only words to describe the taste is NIRVANA!

The Japanese are known for stellar customer service, attention to detail, and excellent product delivery. This restaurant is staffed almost exclusively by native Japanese; their strong accents and mannerisms clearly convey they are expatriates. This alone indicated to me this was a quality establishment. And we hadn't even ordered. The appetizers we had were amazing. Ankimo (monkfish liver)... tasty, subtle flavors. Nasu Hasami Age: very good, and very creative. Agedashi tofu: very strong too. I order this at every Japanese restaurant, and Hatsuhana's version had a very light outside batter. Then, the sushi entrees. The sushi size wasn't huge, but nonetheless, I was full by night's end, and the fish quality was impressively fresh. One of us is a bona fide food critic... she has a far sharper palate than I do and she said this was very high-quality sushi. We also had some dessert - go for the sesame ice cream. This is NOT an inexpensive restaurant; the bill totaled almost $300 for 3 people. but for the occasional splurge, Hatsuhana excels.

I took my wife and my mom here for restaurant week lunch (7/27), and we all loved it. The fish is very fresh, and the service was great, the staffs are very friendly. We will definitely go back.

Regular take-away place for my late nights at the office. Love the quality of the fish, the packaging and the friendly delivery guys. Love it!

Ate here once when the other Hatsuhana was too crowded- excellent food and service.

There are some great sushi places in Midtown (my personal favorite is Sushi Ann). Hatsuhana is one of the best overall, and the best bar none when it comes to delivery. The fish is always delectable and fresh, the service is always courteous and timely, and the choices are always on point. I have never had a complaint about this place. They do whatever it takes to deliver exactly what you order - want cucumber instead of avacodo? Done. Want extra ginger/soy sauce? Done. I simply cannot say enough good things about this place. If you are looking for sushi in Midtown and don't want to break the bank, please look no further than Hatsuhana.

Top quality sushi. If you deliver: you need to order well in advance (at least 1 hour) - however it is very much worth the wait. Top quality fish ingeniously prepared! Also try their warm entrees: great chicken and cooked fish!
