Sushi Hatsu

"The food was amazing. The service was over the top - the waitress and chef came over to discuss our dietary restrictions and marked off on a menu what we could eat. What a great place. 110% recommend!"

"By far the best sushi in PA. Been eating sushi in Philadelphia for 10 years and have yet to have anything better than Hatsu. The quality and taste are unreal. Reasonable prices for top level fish. Comparable sushi to NYC/LA hotspots"

"It’s an awesome place. Made reservations through their website and it was super easy. The thing that stood out was the level of attention to details from everyone. Every person had their role and our waitress was excellent. As you get seated they bring you a hot towel, you don’t het to see that anywhere anymore. It’s a nice touch. The food was great. I had my hesitation about the short rib empanadas but did not regret it. The pork belly buns were awesome too, it had a smokey quality which I wasn’t expecting and threw my palette for a spin in a good way. Rolls were great too. Don’t forget to BYOB!"

"Been waiting for a Sushi restaurant to come around to be loyal to, and I believe THIS IS IT! We started with the Miso Soup which is a heartier version than you are used to from your typical sushi place. Large mushrooms and mouthfuls of tofu. Super generous portion and quickly served. Spicy calamari was next and the tendrils were cooked to perfection. Pretty spicy if you are not into spice! Next we had the Coconut Garlic Lobster Tempura. Delicious but we didn't taste garlic AT ALL. Didn't change us enjoying it. We also tried the spicy tuna and the shrimp tempura rolls. Not pictured b/c we ate them too fast! Finished the meal with fried green tea ice cream that has a thin layer of pound cake under the tempura batter! Deliciousness everywhere. Our server, Karen, was super pleasant and helpful. Stylish restaurant with comfortable seating. Looking forward to coming back many times. Make a reservation even on a week night :)"

"Wow! Don’t waste your time going anywhere else for sushi but Sushi Hatsu. Plus it is BYOB!! The quality of the fish is unbelievably fresh and tastes as though it just came from the sea. I highly recommend starting with the chefs special sashimi or sushi selection to sample their staple fish and special fish of the day. The menu is incredibly fun and you can try dishes you won’t find anywhere else like the “surf and turf” which is a role with tempura fried lobster and thin strips of beef on top. The quality and texture of the fish in every dish is truly unbelievable and even the quality of the seaweed in the roles is to be marveled at. The seaweed is so soft you don’t have to struggle bitting it and the roles are filled with considerably more fish than rice. The prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality of the fish and it allows you to really explore the menu. The staff here are some of the nicest people I have ever encountered in a restaurant. The lady at the front of the house was so charming and knowledgeable and made recommendations so that we could try the best from the menu. Our waiter was a lot of fun and joked with us and made us feel right at home. We were able to take our time and order more items while enjoying our wine since it is BYOB!! We even got to talk to the sushi chef as our table was close to the counter and he wanted to ensure we were enjoying our meal. You can watch them make the beautiful plates with such love. You can make a reservation online and I have a feeling we will be making recurring reservations. :)"
