Comments about this restaurant:

From Andy Birsh (last visit September 2003)

Variety of sushi: Usual selection.
Freshness of sushi: Very fresh.
Presentation of sushi: Exceptional attention to presentation.
Generosity of sushi portions: Average.

Promptness of service: Notably attentive.
Courtesy of service: Courteous.
Accuracy of service: Always accurate.
Cleanliness - dining and visible kitchen areas: Cleaner than usual.
Cleanliness - restrooms: Cleaner than usual.
Quality of nonsushi food: Very good.

``Hatsuhana's conservative approach to the cuisine makes it a useful benchmark for comparisons. They get the details right. Pieces are of average size because that's the right size; nori is always toasty crisp, even around maki rolls; the egg sushi is delicate and light; prices are stiff. The 48th Street branch is the HQ, the other is basically a lunch spot.''
