Hatsuhana

"Hatsuhana is at the lower end of high-end spots, which means it’s upscale but not unaffordable for a business lunch. This Japanese restaurant looks like a peaceful school library, and they’ve got a good takeout operation going. Most of the lunch sets are $30-$40, but if you are going to spend, the big draw is the $57 “Box Of Dreams,” a set of nine mini-bowls of sashimi. At night, you can do a full-blown $98 omakase." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, molly fitzpatrick

"Sushi available for delivery and takeout - order online." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"Hatsuhana is the Kerry Washington of Midtown Sushi. It means means business, but can still be a good time, and you can bet it’s going to wear a great dress to the Emmys. Use Hatsuhana for any near-Bryant Park business meeting, and order the “Box Of Dreams,” which involves a bunch of different preparations of sashimi and will also just make your meal sound exciting." - hillary reinsberg

"Many people who work in Midtown East have their go-to sushi places, but the smart ones go to Hatsuhana. It’s probably best described as the lower end of the high-end spots, which means it’s upscale but not unaffordable for a business lunch. Most of the lunch sushi sets are around $30, but if you are going to spend, the big draw is the $45 “Box Of Dreams,” a set of nine mini boxes of sashimi." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Many people who work in Midtown East have their go-to sushi spots, but the smart ones go to Hatsuhana. It’s probably best described as the lower end of the high-end spots, which means it’s upscale but not unaffordable for a business lunch. Most of the lunch sushi sets are around $30, but if you are going to spend, the big draw is the $46 “Box Of Dreams,” a set of nine mini boxes of sashimi. At night, you can pick from a few prix fixe sushi options, ranging from a pretty basic $29 to a full-blown 15 piece for $105 and 18 piece $126 omakase, and a few in between. We’d recommend the $46 “Sushi Deluxe,” which includes 10 top quality, chef-chosen pieces plus a roll. Sure, there are newer, more exciting places to eat sushi in NYC, but the quality-to-price ratio is excellent, you can always get in, and you’ll leave satisfied. As we said, the smart people go to Hatsuhana." - Hillary Reinsberg
