Really special experience, unmatched in Atlanta. Pricey, obviously, but it almost transcends dining.The food quality can't be overstated. Sake recs were top notch. The kind of "above and beyond" service you only get at a place like this. The chef is so personable and engaging.

Yes it's expensive. But it's an extremely memorable dining experience. The chef is very personable. To me, the most deserving of all Michelin star restaurants in Atlanta. Some unbelievably delicious sushi dishes. If you do not like Sushi it is not for you. Ambience is top notch. Hope to return again.

A culinary experience that should be experienced if you can afford it. Chef Hayakawa has achieved a well-deserved Michelin star. He is the master of ceremony for a glorious meal. Food and service are of the highest quality. I will never forget this evening.

The chef and wait staff were so incredibly rude and condescending. I would have gladly left before we ate the meal but felt like a hostage because our hosts had already pre-paid, as is required to make a reservation. No food is worth that experience.

First of all, the service is excellent. We were there on a cold night in Atlanta and they checked our coats right when we were seated. The service is elaborate for a sushi restaurant and reminded me of e by Jose Andres in Vegas. My only minor complaint are the rules/strong guidance related to how to eat some of the dishes. With regard to the food, let me start by saying that I do not have a fine palate for high-end sushi. I have eaten at Nobu (Buckhead), Sushi Yoshida (NYC), and Morimoto (multiple locations) but that's about it for high-end sushi. In Atlanta, I like Fudo the best. So, with that being said, I found the sushi rice to be too soft. The fish was all impeccably fresh and meticulously prepared and seasoned. The shari was just not to my liking. Regarding the other food, my Japanese-American mother used the term "Japanese taste" to describe some Japanese food. Growing up, I mostly had food cooked by Japanese-American women, most of whose parents had immigrated from Hiroshima or Fukuoka. The Japanese-American food I ate growing up had also been adapted to ingredients available in the US at that time (70s and 80s) and to US tastes. To me, "Japanese-taste" is heavy umami, katsuobushi, and seafood like clam. Curiously, not all modern Japanese food in Japan has this "Japanese-taste. To me, Haya-San's cooked food is heavy on the "Japanese-taste." This was most evident in the suimono that Haya-San calls sumashi (light soup) and the udon. Our favorite dish was probably the buri. Haya-San had expertly seasoned it with yuzu, yuzu-kosho, and garnished with sea grapes. Of the sushi, I liked the hotate best. Haya-San sauces with (I think shoyu/butter) and torches it. I suspect the sauce is more than soy/butter but that's the best I can do to describe. Superb dishes. Arigato gozaimasu Haya-San
