"This eight-seat omakase counter in the Star Metals building has one of the most expensive prix fixe menus in the city ($315 per person). Their fresh, flavorful plates and elegant, minimalist interior fit the bill of a fancy, buttoned-up restaurant. But this is a fine dining atmosphere where we feel most at home. Fans of thick nigiri cuts will enjoy Hayakawa's sizable mouthfuls of Japanese-imported selections like bluefin tuna, yellowtail, and striped bass, yet it’s the early courses on the 16-item menu that stand out most. Slivers of tender, raw scallop drenched in a kiwi-miso paste puree and the nutty watercress with a punchy wasabi oil feel like a suspenseful story that keeps you stimulated until the very last bite." - nina reeder, juli horsford, demarco williams
