Sushi Hatchi has been in my list for a long time and I was excited to finally give it a try! It was easy to get a reservation online, and when we got there we were seated immediately even though the restaurant was packed! It's a cute ambiance, with plenty of tables in a long row home style space.
I thought the prices were definitely reasonable and their menu has a lot of different options I hadn't tried before. You had the option of wait service, or just ordering and paying online using a QR code.
We decided to try an assortment of items from different parts of the menu. My first experience with chicken Cara-age was delish, especially with the tartar sauce. The tempura udon noodle was maybe one of my favorite dishes - lots of noodles, rich flavorful broth, and yummy shrimp tempura on the side. The Capitol roll was delicious - as with anything deep fried. Usually, I'm not a fan of cream cheese in a roll, but paired with the sugary sauce and melted inside, this one was a hit. The volcano roll came highly recommended, and the Alaska roll intrigued us with the onion sauce addition. Along with a classic tuna nigiri, we also tried the prime beef nigiri.
Overall, a very interesting dining experience. There were a lot of flavors I've never had combined before, and wouldn't think to combine. For example, that "onion sauce" on top of the Alaska roll is really similar to pico de gallo ... an interesting flavor combined with a raw fish and sushi roll. Sriracha in the volcano roll and sugar grains in the "sweet miso" sauce on the Capitol roll were pleasant surprises, but unusual nonetheless. Overall, I would love to come back and try more, but be prepared this is not your typical Japanese spot!
