After attending an event at Chase center, we were craving some sushi and decided to check out Hakashi.
When we arrived after 8pm, it was packed on a Thursday! We didn't have a reservation and waited around 30-40 minutes for a couple seats to open up, no biggie. If there's one thing you take from this review, make a reservation if you can, which is what I'll be doing next time I visit.
What was sweet was that the staff acknowledged the long wait and apologized a ton, which honestly was much appreciated but not necessary. It's a busy restaurant, we had no reservations and we were happy to wait our turn!
As for the food, we ended up getting a couple rolls which were hefty in size and quite tasty. The volcano roll was my favorite of what we got. The gyoza were exactly how I liked em, steam with a little bit of a toast for a nice crunch. We were confused on how the walu sashimi came as a single order but got two and we were filled up because the pieces were big! Definitely ate more than we wanted but we enjoyed every bite.
If you are looking for quality sushi, good atmosphere, in a lively setting, Hakashi is a solid spot. We even spotted a local celeb, former Warriors player Baron Davis eating there!
