From the moment we sat down, Jordan brought an energy that set the tone for the entire evening. Attentive without being overbearing, friendly without feeling forced truly the kind of service that elevates a dining experience. Every detail was handled seamlessly, from drink refills to timing our meal perfectly with the chef's performance. The hibachi steak and shrimp was outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection tender, flavorful, and expertly seasoned while the shrimp were juicy with just the right amount of char. The entire meal was fresh, hot, and beautifully presented right off the grill, with that classic hibachi flair we all love. What really stood out, though, was how Jordan made us feel like valued guests, not just another table. That level of genuine hospitality is rare and deserves recognition. We'll absolutely be back and we'll be asking for Jordan every time.

If you live anywhere near Dawsonville and have not tried Hatsu Hibachi yet, you are missing out…read more Daniel from Roundabout Deli recommended this place to me and told me June and her husband were back there cooking up some amazing food. After trying it for myself, I completely understand why people keep talking about this spot. First off, this is NOT your typical small-town hibachi place where everything tastes the same. You can tell there's care being put into the food here. I tried the steak lo mein, General Tso chicken, orange chicken, fried dumplings, egg rolls, fried rice, and the sugar donuts. The steak lo mein was excellent. The steak was actually tender, which matters because bad steak can ruin a noodle dish fast. The noodles were perfectly cooked and loaded with flavor without being greasy or heavy. The General Tso chicken was probably my favorite thing I tried. Super crispy, flavorful, and had that slight spice that General Tso is supposed to have. The orange chicken was also fantastic. Both had that fresh crispy texture where the sauce still sticks to the chicken without making it soggy. And honestly, the pricing here is kind of wild in the best way possible. Most of these plates are around $10-12, and the portions are HUGE for the money. With prices going up everywhere lately, it was refreshing to walk into a local family-owned spot and leave feeling like you actually got your money's worth. The fried rice was simple but really good. Just egg fried rice without a bunch of vegetables mixed in, which honestly a lot of people will appreciate. The fried dumplings were great, the chicken egg rolls were crispy and tasty, and dipping them in yum yum sauce made them even better. The sugar donuts were awesome too. They're more dense than your typical donut and came out warm with sugar on top. Really good way to finish the meal. The restaurant itself is beside a gas station, but it is NOT part of the gas station. Don't let that fool you. Inside is clean, comfortable, and nicer than people would probably expect. Plenty of tables and booths, nice setup, and they also serve Coca-Cola fountain drinks and bottled drinks. Service was fast too. I ordered a lot of food and it probably took around 5-7 minutes. I did notice they stay busy with people constantly coming in and phones ringing, but the kitchen was moving efficiently and the food came out fresh and hot. Very happy Dawsonville has a local family-owned place like this. June and her husband are doing an amazing job here, and I'll absolutely be back to keep trying more of the menu. 5/23 EDIT: Stopped back by Hatsu Hibachi with my wife and somehow this place impressed us even more the second time around. I had the teriyaki chicken with lo mein, my wife got the Mongolian chicken with fried rice, and both were excellent. The portions are huge, the chicken was tender, and the flavor on everything was spot on. We also got to meet June, and she is absolutely amazing. She shared a little bit about her background and everything they're doing over at Hatsu, and you can genuinely feel how much care they put into the food and the customer experience. On top of that, she kindly gave us an order of their homemade crab rangoons, and WOW. They prep and make them all in-house, and you can absolutely tell. Crispy, fresh, full of flavor, and such a great appetizer that paired perfectly with the meal. Really happy to see a local spot putting this much heart into their food. Hatsu continues to be one of the best values around Dawsonville.

Akami Sushi & Grill was a really pleasant surprise in Dawsonville. I honestly did not expect to…read morefind a sushi spot this good on the north side of Atlanta, but this place absolutely delivered. First off, full transparency: I am NOT some sushi expert. I'm not going to pretend I can break down every fish and technique like a professional critic. What I can tell you is simple -- I grabbed sushi, put it in my mouth, and it was yummy yummy in my tum-tum. That's my expert analysis. But seriously, the sushi was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You really do eat with your eyes first, and everything coming out of the kitchen looked excellent. The rolls looked clean, colorful, and well made without being overloaded. Add in the soy sauce, wasabi, yum-yum sauce, and the whole experience just worked. The gyoza was an excellent starter. Nice crisp on the bottom, soft on top, and the sauce paired with it really well. We also tried the Beef Tataki. Flavor-wise, it was good, but I do wish the beef had been a little more tender. Personally, I'd probably skip that dish next time, but honestly this is a sushi restaurant, so I'm not going to hold one beef appetizer against them when everything else was very strong. The chicken tonkatsu with fried rice was excellent. Super crispy breading, juicy chicken, and the sauce on top tied everything together really well. Next time I actually want to try the pork cutlet because they clearly know how to fry food properly. Service was A+. Spencer took care of us and was a gentleman from beginning to end. Friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The inside of the restaurant deserves its own paragraph because they did an AMAZING job with the design. It's modern, spacious, clean, and honestly feels much more upscale than you'd expect in Dawsonville. The booths and tables are roomy, we never felt cramped, and the whole atmosphere makes it feel like a great date-night spot or somewhere you can actually relax and enjoy dinner. Pricing varies depending on the sushi rolls. Some are around $13 while others go into the $15-17 range depending on what you order, which honestly feels pretty normal for quality sushi these days. Also, one final important detail: When you leave, grab one of those little guava candies by the entrance. I'm telling you right now, those things are ridiculously good. Plenty of parking too since it's right there by the North Georgia Premium Outlets area. Overall, very happy with this place and definitely one of the better surprises I've had in Dawsonville in a long time. We'll absolutely be back. And yes... all of this was enjoyed properly with a Coke Zero because they are a Coca-Cola spot.

I have to remember to take photos of the inside during my next visit. I ordered the chicken Yaki Lo Mein with onions and it was good.

The rolls were warm and by the time I got home the seaweed was really chewy so I had to remove it. It would be nice if they had a spicy fried rice option as well, like the Japanese restaurant I always went to before finding them. I highly recommend this establish and glad it's in Dawsonville.
