"More than just a special occasion dinner, an evening at this eight-seat omakase counter will earn a prime slot on your most memorable dinner card. Hayakawa’s well-designed minimalist space sets a grand tone, but the dinner really comes into full color through the chef’s stories about everything from the family artwork hung on the walls to the gorgeous raw scallop drenched in a kiwi-miso puree. And if you thought your sushi courses would be identical to every other high-end Atlanta omakase, Hayakawa stands out with their huge, meaty cuts of nigiri, which still melt away despite the sizable portions." - jacinta howard, juli horsford, nina reeder
