Wonderful place, sat at the sushi bar, incredible atmosphere and sense of authenticity. We had both of their signature creations, the box and chirashi. Very interesting and creative. Fish was excellent.
The food is good. However there is a table of Chinese customers who speaks very loudly and destroy the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. There could be sign that remind customers not to create noise and speak softly. We ordered some sushi and they are delicious. We could try that again but maybe when the atmosphere problem is resolved.
sushi is excellent and they always have great specials. The Oyster from Japan was amazing. This restaurant is the Pearl of Manhattan.
We have been to this restaurant a couple of times for lunch. Everything’s great from service to service. Highly recommend Box of Dreams, value of money, be sure to make a reservation, the restaurant is filled out fast during lunch time.
Everything is good except Japanese Wagyu not satisfied but thank goodness I just ordered one piece to try so not feel that bad.. bc normally at my favorite restaurant I usually order 10 pieces just the Wagyu..
As to be expected a very good Japanese restaurant. If you are going with more than two, reservations is a must even for weekday lunch. I felt the food quality was great but not sure it justify the price. But you are paying for the atmo and service. Good place to impress dates.
This place was highly recommended but I was a bit disappointed…
The service was excellent but the freshness of seafood could be better. Some of the sushi were a bit dry when the plate arrived.
Maybe it's just me but when I go for omakase I'm picturing sitting at the sushi bar, the chef working his mastery around the rice and sashimi, serving one piece of art at a time.
Hatsuhana (my 2nd time being here) is a box they bring to your table. Yes it looks pretty and it's cheaper than a traditional omakase. However for me it loses the "chefs tasting" aspect of it. Also the taste of the sushi itself was ok. Not amazing as I've been to some places that have blown my mind.
Regardless, good place, cool ambiance and amazing staff.
Incredible food, got the box of dreams and my oh had a 10 piece sushi combo which was stunning - great prices for the quality of food too, highly recommend
During my time in New York, I had a craving for sushi while exploring the city. I did a quick search on Google and found a great spot to satisfy my craving. The sushi was fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted delicious. The service was also exceptional. They offered great lunch specials that included many exclusive pieces of sushi. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.
