    Wow!!! I was impressed with this spot. I usually don't have sushi unless I'm by the water but I had a craving so I found this place. I am a complete sucker for a handroll so as soon as I decided I was on my way. There's parking and it's validated as soon as you go inside. They don't do reservations it is walk in only but I went on a Wednesday night and was able to get a seat immediately. I loved the set up it is a big bar with all the sushi chefs right in the middle. I love that you can see exactly what they are doing. They have a couple of combos on the menu but I loved the daily specials. You can select what you want and they chefs make it super fresh. Fantastic experience. Pretty sure this will be my go to sushi place in the area!

    Always an amazing dining experience. Tips They cover parking, scan once you're inside. Get there 40- 60 mins before opening to secure a spot. (Reservations not accepted) Check their social media pages. Updates and menu are posted there daily

    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!

    Back for another review to share recommendations at my favorite sushi place ever! Must order: multiple salmon bellies, Hokkaido scallop, spicy tuna handroll. I usually ask the server for recommendations, trust them, and have the best time. We love, love, love it here. Be prepared to come early to get on the wait list, grab a drink at a nearby bar, and come hungry!

    A very innocuous store front, but WOW!

    I cannot say enough... although there was a line at the door at opening, the matre'd was very accommodating. We had to wait for my husband to park the car before they would seat us, but we made it! The menu is a bit overwhelming, but the chef and staff were very helpful, and the bill was itemized with the name of the fish, so we learned a little. It was a bit noisy, but the sushi was amazing!!!!

    Menu!

    Incredible experience. I've been here sooo many times. The customer service, quality of fish, sake, exotic flavors are the BEST. This place inspired my trip to Japan. Will be back! Recommendations: Salmon belly - atleast 3-5 :) Crab hand roll Lobster hand roll Otoro / Chutoro Waygu nigiri Salmon truffle ponzu

    Came back again after all these years. Still the best sushi I've ever had. I don't know what these people are doing but it seems like they're just crushing the game. Simple food, excellent (and speedy) service, with amazing quality all-around. Cannot recommend highly enough.

    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.

    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! All of the nigiri was super fresh and as someone who doesn't typically enjoy uni, I liked it here. I can't wait to visit the Frisco location!

    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.

    The #4 & Spicy Salmon Roll
    Crissy H.

    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.

    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.

    Charlotte P.

    Wow what an amazing experience! I let my son be the guide on ordering and everything that was put in front of me was delicious! The staff was attentive and amazing. The spot is small so expect to wait to get your spot at the bar.

    Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Hatsuyuki Handroll Bar

    Am I able to make a reservation? I see they have an option on the website but the reviews above say otherwise!

    I eat there often; Hatsuyuki does not accept reservations. I wish it did.

    Is this buffet?

    This is not all you can eat.

    How much do people usually spend?

    Approximately $40-75/per person and depending on if you're drinking.

    Are reservations needed or recommended?

    I agree with everyone else! Go early, get your name and phone number on the waiting list. They will call you. We waited at a nearby bar. The food and experience were well worth the wait.

    I'm interested in their specials (particularly uni and salmon belly). Are those usually available during lunch hours or it's better to go for dinner?

    Uni and salmon belly are almost always available no matter time or day!

    What do "su" and "sa" mean on the specials chalkboard menu?

    Do they offer any Wild salmon or Chilean salmon (low in PCBs) options like Little Lilly does?

    Are they doing curbside during pandemic?

    Yes! And they usually post their menu and specials on their Instagram page

    Is uni not a staple on their menu? Looking at the pictures and not seeing uni in any of the menu pictures.

    Uni is not on their regular menu, but was on the "special" both times that I was there. I believe they have it most of the time, but I would ask the restaurant to be sure.

    Do I have to call ahead for to-go or can order on spot and wait? Just asking because Sushi places are normally small, I don't want to get into people's way enjoying their meals.

    I think you can call ahead but the hand rolls are best enjoyed there. The rice is warm and they will only serve one at a time when you dine in.… 

    Do they serve any nigiri?

    The two times I have been there a number of the daily specials have been things that you could get as nigiri and/or sashimi.

This did not affect the quality of the food as it was very pleasing to look at as well eat. My partner and I began our meal with the karaage. At first glance they looked like fried chicken bites ,but were actually very tender and soft to chew on. The sauce with it was also very good to pair with the chicken. The ramens were packed with the flavor. Our choices were the to tonkotsu and spicy miso. The tonkotsu was super flavorful and I loved the bits off corn and I added minced pork for extra texture in the soup which was a great choice I would do again. The noodles were thinner than other ramens I have tried but still were very yummy and cooked well. The miso was a thicker soup with thicker noodles and the spiciness wasn't overwhelming. Both bowls were very full and we had left overs to save for later. Overall I enjoyed everything about the restaurant and I would recommend others to come and try it. I will definitely be back.
