Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar is a Japanese hand roll restaurant that focuses on fresh seafood, made-to-order sushi, and a more interactive dining experience. We walked into a space centered around sitting at the bar and watching the chefs prepare each hand roll in front of us, which gave the meal a more personal feel compared to a traditional sushi restaurant. The setup is smaller and more intimate, making the experience feel closer to a sushi bar rather than a casual meal spot. The biggest highlight is the quality of the fish and the hand rolls themselves. The seafood tastes fresh, clean, and carefully prepared, with options like salmon belly, otoro, kanpachi, and crab hand rolls standing out. We ordered a few different rolls and found each one well executed, with the fish having a clean, bright flavor that did not rely on heavy sauces or toppings. Each roll is made individually, so the nori stays crisp and the textures come through better than pre-made sushi. The menu has a good balance of classic choices and more creative combinations, making it easy to try different flavors throughout the meal. The chef interaction adds another layer to the visit. Since everything is prepared right in front of you, we could see the attention put into each piece, from assembling the ingredients to serving it at the right moment. The chefs were precise in their movements and took the time to explain the different fish and flavor profiles, which made the meal feel more like an experience rather than just ordering sushi off a menu. One thing to plan for is the wait. Hatsuyuki does not take reservations, and the popularity means there can be a significant line during busy hours. We arrived earlier and found it helped us avoid a longer wait. Seating is limited, but that also helps maintain the quality and atmosphere of the restaurant. The intimate size of the bar means the service stays focused and the pacing remains personal, even when the restaurant is full. Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar is one of the stronger sushi experiences in the area for anyone who enjoys fresh seafood and a more curated dining style. The wait can be a downside, but the quality of the fish, chef preparation, and overall atmosphere make it worth visiting, especially if you are looking for something beyond standard sushi rolls. The focus on craftsmanship and the personal interaction with the chefs elevate the meal into something more memorable than a typical sushi stop. read more

If you are looking for authentic Japanese sushi (no cream cheese, no speciality rolls) look no further! This was our second time, and it was completely packed within 10 minutes of opening for lunch. The waiter mentioned that they also have an omakase which I plan to do next time, but unfortunately we didn't have the time. First time I came I only ordered the hand roll combos which were ok, but the nigiri and the sashimi is where this places really shines!! We loved every piece of sashimi and nigiri we ordered. Unfortunately this place is pretty expensive, so even after a pricey meal, we still left hungry! Be prepared to spend if you eat lot but it will be worth it because it is so delicious! read more

We were one of the first to get there, about 20 minutes before the restaurant opened, and were so close to getting seated, but we missed it by one spot. We ended up waiting about an hour and a half, even though we noticed other people arriving after us and getting seated right away while we were still waiting. That felt pretty uncalled for, especially since other guests who arrived after us were seated first, and a few other couples agreed. That being said, the sushi was delicious, and the service was very attentive and friendly. I just wish the seating process had been handled better. read more

I love when the hype is actually real. What a refreshing sushi experience! It's a very intimate space so we were on the waitlist for more than an hour but I promise the wait is worth it!! The salmon belly here is unreal. I'd recommend asking the chef for their daily specials- the handrolls were so good!

This is one of my favorite handroll bars I've been to, and I really wished Houston had one (I'm from Houston). It's a great casual meal spot and is very popular. My absolute favorite items I've gotten from the menu are: -salmon belly nigiri -ama ebi (spotted prawn) nigiri -yellowtail nigiri -Hokkaido scallop nigiri -bay scallop handroll There's usually a pretty long line here, but it is SO worth it! The quality of the food here is so incredible. The menu does change seasonally, but there are several items that do stay the same. The service here is also incredible. I love coming here with my husband and just splurging on the nigiri here since the price and quality here is so good. read more

This was sooo yummy! Highly recommend this spot but it does get very packed and they don't accept reservations so I recommend coming a bit before they open to queue up. They have a large menu that changes everyday so you can always try something new. I prefer their specialty pieces over the handrolls but both were great! The service is great and it's a pretty spacious handroll bar. I would def come again next time I'm in town. read more

This is hands down my favorite sushi spot EVER. You really can't beat the quality and price anywhere else. I order chu toro for under $10, and you're telling me that they put extra chopped toro on top??? Heavenly. I like that they change their menu based of availability, goes to show how fresh the quality is. I don't care how far the drive is or the wait, it's so worth it. "Handroll" is in the name, but you're missing out if you haven't tried sushi here. read more

One of my favorite sushi spot for lunch! You never can know go wrong with anything on the menu, whether you are going for nigiri, sashimi or handroll.

We had a 2.5 hour wait for two on a Saturday at 6:00pm. This didn't both us as we were first timers and really wanted to try it -- so we put our name down and checked out the local thrift shops and bars next door. We ended up getting a text that our seats were ready at the 2 hour mark. It was safe to say that our experience was absolutely perfect!! Every hand roll we tried was even better than the last. You can taste the high quality ingredients that is carefully curated into every bite you take. This is hands down one of the best sushi I've ever had. Highly recommend asking your waiters and chefs what their favorites are and don't think twice, just get it! We've already made plans to come back! read more

I couldn't wait to visit this sushi restaurant; the reviews and reputation were more than tempting. I was in the area for a Yelp event, and this was located about ten minutes from where I was. I placed a to-go order, and I learned that was not the best idea. I found they had a Wix web page and another; the other had a full menu to include the rolls pack. The other website doesn't help either. So I took a chance and ordered four rolls. Crab - Was good, and was fresh. Salmon - Was fresh, but not my best choice. Spicy Salmon - I was not a fan. Shrimp - I enjoyed this, but the texture was different for me. Before getting the roll, which was my third option, I asked for two things they did not have, which were on the menu. I arrived an hour after they opened, and they were already out of that item? Their menu, which can only be viewed in the restaurant, varies depending on the dining experience (lunch/dinner). I assume. When I arrived home, I noticed they did not include wasabi. What? Sushi/sashimi aren't the same without wasabi and the additional condiments. This definitely was not a pleasing visit, but I am willing to give them another try. I will only dine in, I feel that's when you'll get the full effect of what this restaurant truly has to offer. The gentleman who took my order was really sweet and was patient when I couldn't figure out what I wanted, due to them being out of what was on my list. The inside was very nice, I like the ability to watch as the rolls are being made. I look forward to watching that and to having a better experience. read more

They have a very simple menu but some of the most Delicious rolls. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing! note that theres a line before they open (at 5). We were 15th in line and had arrived there around 445. when you are seated, theres a tiny menu placed at each station that has al le carte and combo selections. I opted for the 4 combo handroll and had ordered al le carte items like the Toro handroll, eel handroll, mizayaki beef, uni with toro and salmon truffle. Overall, all of the items were amazing. Seaweed was crispy and crunchy and each handroll had a good amount of "fillings". The salmon truffle is slices of salmon sashimi with truffle sauce and came with 5 pieces. Overall, I would come back. read more

If you ask anyone living in Fort Worth what is the best sushi place in the area? They will tell you Hatsuyuki. I mean... it's good but it's kinda the same as other handroll places you find on the Dallas side of town. However I will agree that it's probably the best sushi you can get in the Fort Worth area. When I dined there I told them I wanted the omakase with no limit. Limit being the amount of money I was going to spend. What does this mean? It meant that my omakase became an a la carte experience. I just ended up telling the chef what pieces I wanted and he made it. Like previously stated, the sushi is good. I'm not going to complain about the taste. I do like how they have what ingredient is available on a hand written board. One suggestion I do have for Hatsuyuki is they should do a reservation system. If you don't show up right when they open, you will be waiting in a LONG line. read more

Absolutely no wrong choice on this menu. I ordered the 3 roll set, uni+1, and sea bream. My friend offered me their unister. Of the set, my favorite was the crab. I personally judge my hand roll places based on the quality of their crab roll, and this one was by far the best. Sweet, flavorful, and meaty. Each roll is a generous size as well. Of the specials, I liked the unister the most. It's a really big mouthful to get in, but all the flavors combine really make it a journey in your mouth.. sweet, savory,fishy,tangy. The quality of each fish was extremely evident. Sushi chefs were so efficient at making each roll and piece. I loved how the bar seating allowed you to watch everything that they were doing. read more

This is a hidden gem. I didn't know about it until my sushi afficianado friend told me to drop everything, after hearing I didn't know what it was. If you are a sushi nut, and more particularly a handroll kinda person... go no further. You've found your spot. Is it pricey? Sure. Is it worth it? Absolutely. You pay for what you get, and it's pure excellence. It isn't a huge place, but it is perfect for what it is. It's a horseshoe bar type seating around some amazingly talented sushi chefs preparing your food in front of you. Everything I ate was so incredibly fresh and delicious. Save up a couple extra bucks and go immediately. read more

Amazing hand roll bar in fort worth. They don't take reservations so be sure to get there when they open and if not, be prepared to wait 1-2 hours depending on when you walk in. It's an intimate restaurant where all the seatings are at the bar in front of the chef. There's a chalkboard menu that changes on the daily, and you write down what you want to order, along with any hand roll sets/appetizers/drinks on the paper. All the sushi, hand rolls, and the sashimi I had was so good. The rice was also cooked and seasoned perfectly, and while the pieces are considered 'affordable' for an a la carte style, the quality is superior. Would definitely come back again! read more

Hatsuyyki was a pretty unique experience while you have the pleasure of having the sushi chefs curate right in front of you & they have the pleasure of watching you enjoy their hand crafted dishes.

Def would recommend for anyone visiting FT worth! read more

Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Worth, Texas

This place was great! There is parking if you get there early enough but you have to wait until you get inside the restaurant to scan the QR code for free parking. I got there pretty early but noticed as we got closer to opening time and there was already a line forming at the door. But onwards to the food and service, it was friendly service where they took our orders but also left us alone enough to talk with our parties. I will say with the way seating is set up, i can imagine it being pretty tough to talk if you have more than 2-3 people. The food was really delicious & I highly suggest taking a look at their specials because that's where they shine. Not a bad bite in the bunch! read more

I can see why this place has 5 star review from so many people. Hands down one of the best sushi I've had in DFW metroplex. Actually THE best and the 2nd place doesn't come close. The variety of sushi's they serve is just chef's kiss. We opted for the hand rolls FIRST then added the sushi~ so we ended up ordering too many hand rolls so I was extremely full but every bite was so worth it. I'm not sure if I can eat sushi anywhere else now~ read more

Our party thoroughly enjoyed all the hand rolls and nigiri sushi that we had at this establishment. At the time we dined here, there were pre-fixed options of 3, 4, and 5 handrolls. Our party opted for the 4-handroll options each which included a salmon, yellowtail, bay scallop, and a crab handroll for $17.50 that are mainstays that should be tried. This was just $3 more than the 3-handroll option which did not include the yellowtail handroll. The 5-handroll option was a steeper increase to $24.00ish for an additional lobster handroll, which is a slight discount to the price if you were to order the lobster handroll a-la-carte. I'd advise the 4-handroll option and ordering something off the daily special menu if you're hungry hungry like I am all day everyday. If available the spicy tuna handroll (w/ shrimp katsu, fried onion, and Korean seaweed), salmon belly, and the eel nigiri are excellent. All the sushi here was excellent. Flavors were all very clean and not overly muddled in any way. You taste what you're ordering. I was pleasantly surprised with the real grated wasabi they added to the eel nigiri. Service here was quick and friendly once seated. Sushi chefs kept a very reasonable pace with their preparation and service to what was ordered. This is definitely a spot to enjoy some excellent food. One additional note with PARKING. At the time I dined in March 2025, don't be too quick jumping the gun to pay for parking by scanning the QR codes in the lot. Go straight to the restaurant after securing your parking spot where there's a QR code near the entrance inside that you can scan for validated parking. read more

Hatsuyuki Sushi is hands down the best sushi spot in Cowtown. We absolutely love this place. The entire setup is a vibe -- an intimate, high-top bar seating arrangement (around 45 seats) that gives you front-row views of the chefs as they work. Watching each dish come together makes the experience feel special before you even take a bite. The chefs are true artists, thoughtfully and skillfully preparing every piece with care and precision. Each bite feels intentional and beautifully executed. Parking can be a little tight, so plan ahead or use a nearby parking garage. There's usually a wait, but it's 100% worth it. If you're a sushi lover, this place is a must. read more

Great place! Parking Long line - got there around 4:30 and waited for opening. We were the 9th people in line. Best sushi place in fort worth. Bet: eel hand roll, otoro, hamachi, live ama ebi, monkfish liver hand roll Kanpachi with cherry blossom was fragrant and super soft Matcha IPA I live in Dallas, but I've heard of Hatsuyuki many times so I decided to make the drive to Fort Worth. There was limited parking in front of Hatsuyuki but there is road parking and a garage nearby. They only validate parking if you park at the lot right in front of the store. They don't validate the parking if you park on the road. They open at 5 PM but I arrived at 4:30 PM and people were already lining up. We waited at 4:30 PM and we were the ninth person there on a Friday night and the tables filled up quickly. We ordered a handful of nigiris but our favorite were the eel hand roll, otoro, hamachi, live ama ebi, monkfish liver hand roll. The live ama abi was so fresh and sweet. If you enjoy shrimp, I highly recommend it. The kanpachi with cherry blossom, was also very fragrant and super soft. We also ordered the Matcha IPA and Yuzu ale. Overall, I think this place was worth the wait. I loved watching the chefs make the dish and sitting at the booth made it a great experience. The interior made it very romantic and cozy for a date night. read more

My wife and I have been wanting to try this place for a while now, so we came for lunch on our anniversary. We came by on a Tuesday around 1 p.m. (attempting to) avoid the lunch crowd since they don't take reservations. We got super lucky and found parking right in front of the restaurant. Tip - Don't scan the QR code in the parking lot. Go inside the restaurant and scan the QR code by the door for free validated parking up to 4 hours. Despite our attempts to avoid the crowd, the place was super packed when we arrived. We waited 20-30 mins to get seated. Despite how normal the exterior looks, the interior looked like a fancy sushi restaurant with 6 chefs giving guests personalized service. The food was amazing. I won't list them all but my favorites/top picks/highly recommended ones were unister, scallop with chop toro, aori ika, uni plus 1, and sp Japanese uni. This place is an absolute must-try if you want good sushi in DFW! read more

Went back on a Friday afternoon right as the place opened, and it was already busy, which says a lot. The experience at the bar is just something else, seriously, it hits different. I stuck with my usual: the salmon sashimi and the hand rolls combo salmon roll, crab roll, and bay scallop roll (my least favorite, but still decent). I also tried the special of the day, the Ootoro (bluefin tuna), and wow it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend sitting at the bar if you go. The whole experience just feels elevated. Definitely going back again. read more

Make sure you don't come here hungry... because there will be a wait! We came shortly after they opened and had to wait 2 hours, so we killed time by walking around the surrounding area. Let's just say the wait was worth it. For the quality of fish you can get here, the prices are pretty fair. You get to watch the sushi chefs make your nigiri and hand rolls right in front of you which is a nice experience. My favorites were the chutoro, salmon belly, shima aji w/ garlic puree, scallop with chopped toro, and hirame w/ pesto. Every piece of fish just melts in your mouth! They don't use too much rice either which I highly appreciate. The hand rolls are amazing too because of the nori they use. It's very crispy and easy to eat. You can't go wrong with anything you get here honestly. This is probably some of the best sushi I've had in Texas! read more

I read this is a must stop for any foodie in Ft Worth, so one weekend when I was in town visiting my best friend, I stopped by alone because he doesn't eat sushi. I came here on a Friday evening just 10 mins after they opened and there was already a 1.5 hr wait for 1 person. They do validate your parking, as long as you don't pay first....and that is for about 4 hours. I ended up getting seated after 1 hr 14 mins, so their estimates are fairly accurate. Most recommend the black cod nigiri, uni plus one nigiri, salmon belly nigiri, and spicy tuna hand roll. Unfortunately, they did not have black cod the day invisited, so I ordered Pomfret nigiri instead to replace that one and order all the other recommended dishes. I can't say I've ever seen pomfret on a sushi menu before, but the chef recommended it. I also added a Toro handroll. Toro handroll - I don't usually order this, but for only 7.50, why not. It's smooth, fatty and the seaweed is nice and fresh. Uni nigiri plus 1 - comes with salmon roe (eggs), quail egg and looks great. Nice combination of flavors. Mana gatsuo (pomfret) - slightly torched, a little texture but a really good nigiri indeed. Salmon belly - this was good but maybe my least favorite since other items were more exotic and I knew what to expect. Spicy tuna handroll w/ shrimp katsu - this was a really good dish. Again, I loved the combination of flavors/textures and the seaweed on these handrolls. Everything was so good, and of course I was still hungry so I tried even more. I added the rosy seabass, (one of their most pricy nigiri), Aori ika (bigfin reef squid), and Ishidai (striped beakfish). Ishidai - this is another I've never had before and it didn't disappoint. This is a darker fish with a little bit of chew. Aori ika - this is definitely slimy, unique and delicious. Maybe not for everyone but I liked it a lot. Rosy seabass - easily the best nigiri, also the most pricy at $14, it just melts in your mouth unlike regular seabass. Probably really fatty too. Glad I ordered this! Like other reviews indicate, these chefs know what they're doing and place the perfect amount of rice on your nigiri, not a ridiculous amount like some other places in town. read more

Top notch sushi in Fort Worth. We ordered 5 omakase's 1 for each of us. We were very impressed with the selections of fish and flavors. It also came with 3 hand rolls. Our favorite being the crab. I wish I would have took photos but we were all so hungry we just kept putting down what ever our chef serves us. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would put this at the top of the list when it comes too omakase style sushi dining. Thank y'all for the great experience. . read more

So many of my friends recommended I tried this place and it definitely did not disappoint. Everything is made right in front of you and the fish is so fresh. You can choose a set of handrolls, add a few on, and/or order some bites of nigiri on the side as well. My favorite was definitely the salmon belly. I love how torching the fish gives it a smokey flavor and the sauce strengthened the umami of the fish. I also got the hokkaido scallop which was sweet and creamy and very fresh. As for the handrolls, my favorite is definitely the salmon, followed by the yellowtail, then the crab, and then the scallop and the toro. The scallop handroll was a bit too heavy for my taste, and the toro handroll just wasn't anything outstanding. Service was great. Super attentive and the waiters were always around to add more to your order, refill your water, or answer any questions. It is also bar seating only so I would definitely try to get there at opening! read more

This is the best sushi/handroll spot in the DFW area. The fish is so fresh and tender, you can taste the quality. The service was amazing, very tentative and fast. You do have to wait for dinner (unsure about lunch, haven't been during those hours). There is usually a wait and unfortunately, no reservations so you just have to check in and wait for a spot to open. But they will text you. Inside is beautiful, very simple and clean. This is a must try for sushi lovers in the area! read more
