    Omakase box for 2
    Jennifer C.

    Tried their AYCE for dinner and thought it was reasonably priced for what you can get, especially if you're big on sashimi. Started off with the omakase box which came with 5 different items curated for our two person party. Also got a salmon nigiri and all the fish tasted fresh. If everything on their menu was this caliber and taste, I think this could have be a 4.5 instead of a 3.5. Unfortunately, their rolls, tempura, and hand rolls were not to our liking (mostly because the rice had too much vinegar). I would have been curious to try their ramen if it wasn't so hot, but the restaurant didn't have the AC in and we ended up skipping this option. Skewers and seaweed salad were enjoyable and were nice compliments to the meal, but still not enough to make this a staple option for our dining out but we'd consider coming back specifically for the omakase if we were looking for sashimi.

    Kept seeing this location on TikTok for their matcha and Sando so we had to give it a try on our day off! It was during the week so there was literally no one there-- yay! We ordered two of the sushi boxes, a strawberry sando and the chocolate sando, and a salted matcha. The wait was a bit long for the drinks and sandos being that we were the only customers there. I'm not too much of a fan of the matcha. The sandos were pretty good but don't expect the chocolate to be sweet. It was straight unsweetened cocoa powder which threw my kids off lol. The strawberry one was good tho! BUT LET ME TELL YOU, the sushi boxes are so worth it. Tasted super fresh and worth your money. I wish we could customize to remove the truffle from the salmon because it's too overpowering but other than that, SO GOOD! The outdoor area is super cute and the decor is pretty. It would be a fun area to hit up with your girls and take pictures with your drinks :)

    AYCE. It means, even if your on a diet and don't eat as much, you better eat as much as you can to get your values worth! Right???!!! It was above average quality. I really like how its order as you eat them up. We pretty much tried as many items as we could eat. But our favorite is the sashimi and anything with unagi in it. The mystery box was so so good, wish we could had ordered another one. Everything we ate was fine but I would recco staying AWAY from these guys... Dynamite Roll, that was a mushy raw fish disaster that made me want to gag. Fried chicken wings, they were meniscal, dry and lacked flavor. Worth a try! Easy ordering system through your phone. Pretty fast service, even when there was only 1 server for the entire room. Plenty o' parking behind the theater and in front.

    Disclaimer this review is only for the iced matcha latte they offer. I have yet to try the food here. Nonetheless, the matcha here is just alright. Didn't really blow my mind. It was good, definitely had better and I definitely had worst. I rate the matcha in the middle. Service is okay. It's a self order through a kiosk. They call your number when it is ready. You pick up the matcha on the outside patio seating area they have in the restaurant. It is very hidden and only have a pick up signage on the counter top from what I can remember. So the ambiance or views were okay. You can see a little bit of downtown Hayward. Im glad I tried this matcha spot out. Overall I give this matcha spot a solid 3/5 star review.

    I came here late Sunday night. It was very crowded but our group of 4 was able to be seated quickly. We all ordered 1-2 rolls each. The rolls were good. The miso soup was good as well. I heard they also do AYCE, but the individual rolls were fairly priced. It is in Downtown Hayward, so there is street parking and lot parking a few blocks down.

    Salmon Nigiri
    Jed O.

    AYCE sushi restaurant in Hayward. Definitely on the pricier side of AYCE sushi compared to other locations in the Bay, but the quality of the fish and options of the menu will be satisfying! Unfortunately it is only 3 items per person that you can order when it comes to the sushi/sashimi, so plan accordingly! It can be busy during peak times so try to go either before or after the meal rushes. Also, please note that service can take a while especially if it is busy. Staff were still kind but our party was often wondering if past orders were going to be served. 6/5 - Salmon and Hamachi Sashimi - Fresh and with generous portions! We couldn't get enough of these dishes, and we kept ordering more! 6/5 - Salmon Nigiri - One of the stars of the show at this restaurant! Great fish to rice ratio. This was a favorite for many people in our party! 6/5 - Omakase Box - Order this first! This takes a while to prepare and it is an assortment of different fish prepared in various styles depending on the chef's choice. This was a fun tasting activity of the different ways that fish could be prepared and served. It won't be filling so rely on your other orders! 4/5 - Scallop King Roll - Savory roll that we highly recommend getting! It can take a bit to prepare and serve due to the roll needing to be baked, but the scallop with the crab meat and avocado gives it a smoky, savory flavor profile! 5/5 - Volcano Roll - Large pieces of sushi that carry a soft yet crunchy texture profile. Mixed fish rolls are fun to eat because there are different texture profiles, and the crunch from the tempura flakes makes it an overall very satisfying dish to eat! 4/5 - Hinata Special Roll - Basically the dragon roll but switch out the shrimp tempura with avocado! If you want a soft roll without crunch but love unagi, this roll will do the trick! 5/5 - Gambler's Roll - The spicy tuna and salmon is a killer combo for a roll, and this restaurant keeps it simple and delicious! You'll get a nice kick out of the spicy tuna and the savory profile of the salmon and their special sauce. 3.5/5 - Egg Roll - Nothing too outstanding but it was a properly fried vegetable egg roll. Great to order and eat while waiting for your sushi. 4.5/5 - Shrimp Tempura and Vegetable Tempura - Small pieces of tempura that were perfect for an AYCE type of meal where you want to eat them but do not want to get too full. The oil was not overwhelming, and we were very satisfied with the overall taste and fry! 2.5/5 - Fried Calamari - Nothing too outstanding with the calamari, but the pieces with the tentacles were probably our more favored kind of squid cuts. The sauce was a great complement!

    I am always on the lookout for new matcha spots and came across Hinata Sushi Kitchen. They have an AYCE sushi restaurant, but outside on the patio there is a small stand that sells matcha, bento boxes, and both sweet and savory sandos. I ordered the mango matcha latte and the strawberry sando, and both were really delicious, especially the sando. The drinks took a little while to come out, but it was worth the wait. The staff was very friendly, and the patio area has a really cute and aesthetic vibe. I would definitely recommend!

    Hinata has been one of my fav AYCE sushi spots since 2023. You've got unlimited rounds in a specific time frame to order. They do limit how many items you can order per round to limit food waste which is great! The staff is very patient and enthusiastic when they know you're really enjoying your food. Their menu is very versatile, offering a lot more than just rolls or nigiri. You can get a perfectly seasoned Gyudon or even a chef's choice sashimi box! Their menu has changed a lot over the years but I think that their dinner menu right now is at its peak. My go to is the scallop skewers. Tender, fresh, and a nice bbq flavor from the open flame and a great value! The restaurant has a lot of seating but it's better fit for groups of 2-6 rather than larger parties. If you sit closer to the entrance, you can watch the sushi chefs prepare your food behind the sushi bar!

    Omakase box

    Our group of 4 went to Hinata Sushi Kitchen to celebrate a birthday. They are on the second floor of a building next to a cinema. First thing we noticed is that they have an outdoor patio that is very popular with families and couples ordering Matcha drinks and sweet Japanese sando from two large tablet devices. It is a very Instagrammable spot with a swing and artificial flowers. The main dining room itself is huge. The furnitures are very basic, however, and lend the dining room a budget vibe, making us felt overdressed. We decided on the AYCE option. The waitress informed us that on the first round we cannot order more than 3 items per person. After the first round, however, we are free to order on my own using our phone to scan the barcode and select items from the menu. What makes Hinata unique is the omakase box offered as part of the AYCE option. This is a chef's choice selection of premium sashimi pieces set in a wooden box and decorated with an orchid flower. For our omakase box we had very good tuna, hamachi, salmon and some kind of smoked fish, plus a large piece of scallop with roe on a decorative spoon. We were impressed with the omakase box. However, that turned out to be the only thing we liked from the AYCE menu. Although there are good variety of choices(appetizers, cold dishes, nigiri sushi, hand rolls, sashimi, sushi rolls, mini ramen or don, etc) for AYCE, the quality of the other items are just so so. Soft shell crabs were soggy and had too much batter. Mini ramen tasted bland. Grilled skewers of pork belly and scallops lacked depth. Hand rolls had too much rice. If it wasn't for the omakase box, we wouldn't think the price was worth it.

    Came here on Easter Sunday for the patio outside portion! Nicely decorated outside, they can maybe use more chairs and table outside. The sushi bento boxes we got were goood and the amount of food we got was good too! I was suprised how good the sandos were! I think you can get any of the sandos and they would be perfectly sweet. We got the mango and creme brulee and they were made delicious, eat it asap because the bread is nice and toasty! Tried a few of the matcha drinks, I thought they were solid drinks and tasted like most matcha places around the Bay Area!

    First thing if you have any difficulties with walking up stairs keep in mind their elevator does not work so it's not ADA friendly. You do have to go upstairs to get into the restaurant. I did enjoy the sandwiches because they are sweet and the fruits are very fresh. The sandwiches also have mozzarella shredded cheese in the bottom I wasn't expecting but it was good. The bread is sweet,buttery and crispy. The cream is very light but filling. I would definitely order again I just do wish they could've had the elevator fixed.

    100% recommend! I attended the Patio's Grand Opening day and it was all beautifully set up and the food was perfection! The chicken sandos stayed warm and were amazingly good! The spicy does have a kick to it so be aware if you have a light tolerance to spice. The chicken was moist and flavorful. The balance of flavors is perfect. The fruit sandos were just as amazing with the fluffy cream and bread. Best sandos I have had. The matcha was also really good. I love pistachios, but the strawberry came through better in the drink. Check them out, the parking lot connected to the movie theater is usually a good parking option and the entrance is literally next to the theater entrance.

    All-you-can-eat sushi sounds like a great idea... until you realize they take that challenge very seriously. Everything we had was fresh, which is a big plus, and the food itself was good. Portions add up fast though, so this is definitely one of those places where you think you can eat all you want and then quickly learn otherwise. Service moved along fine, and the place overall was okay, but the cleanliness of common areas could have been better -- not terrible, just noticeable. Good value if you're really hungry and pacing yourself, and the freshness stood out, but a few details kept it from being a higher rating.
