The good: it was presented beautifully. The bad: Service! Two men were working the main floor, tables were half full. The younger skinny guy was not serving our table but he was super helpful when we needed items. The other guy who was serving on the right side, needs a lot of training. He sat us, never asked for a drink order, brought us two tap waters with no ice eventually. We were about to walk out due to lack of service (guy was standing by the drink cooler talking to the skinny guy). He came over and took our food order, still no drinks offered. Part of our meal was delivered. The cucumber rolls had wasabi inside of them, didn't know that was a thing......so made them not enjoyable. After an hour, we were ready to go and told the waiter to forget the rest of the food. It was 1 sushi order and a side of rice.....he said "Oh, you didn't get that?" Had this been a busy time of day, I would have understood. Over all a less than desirable meal. This was on 7/15/26 around 1830. read more

This is a good staple sushi location. Service can be a little slow at times but it is a popular place. Servers are always friendly. They have table and sushi bar seating. This visit I stepped outside of my typical ordering and got a roll off the specials. It did not disappoint!! Is it worth the drive?...yes read more

A decent amount of choices for rolls and sashimi. Bento box and the sashimi dinner plate are the perfect portion sizes for one person each. Recommend having rolls to share. Pleasant service! More miso soup served when requested. Lots of decor resembling an izakaya and clean interior. read more

Hakata Restaurant - Hakata Bento Combo - Japanese Near Me - Silverdale, Washington

The food here is very good. I have eaten here three times and found the food to be very good and the staff friendly and attentive. It's got a good Japanese vibe with the decor something you see in Japan. I have tried the tempura udon on the lunch menu and it is excellent. I had the Hakata Special on the dinner menu and it was good but it is a bit pricey and it took a bit of time to get it out. I will stay with their standard dinner meals next time. read more

Absolutely delicious food. I had the tempura and yakiniku combo, and my wife had the chicken teriyaki. Everything was so flavorful. The portions are big, the prices reasonable, and the service was top notch. First time here. A new favorite for sure. Worth noting that rolls are 20% off during happy hour read more

Hakata is the best Japanese style food and sushi in Kitsap! The service is fast and friendly, in a comfortable family friendly atmosphere. We ordered Yakisoba noodles, Pork Katsu, and this amazing sushi/sashimi platter. Everything was sooo good, and the portions were enough to share. read more

Fantastic food and friendly efficient staff make this a delightful place to dine. Even open on a quiet Sunday. What a treat!

The atmosphere is small and the chefs are visible so that is pretty cool. The food was very good. The mama roll was tasty no rice and I didn't miss it at all. The katsudon was delicious. I would order that again. Their ramen is good too. My son finished the whole thing. The service was good and I appreciate the bag to bring my leftover containers in without having to ask. I will be back! read more

Great food, their sushi is probably the best in the area and I LOVE their Bento box, so much food but not too much. Everything is perfectly fresh and prepared deliciously; the pricing is more than fair and is our go to sushi place. Definitely worth a try! read more

Delicious !! I love getting the hot saki, spicy scallop roll, and lobster roll. It's a hidden gem I forgot to take photos of my food read more

Service is excellent, food is divine, atmosphere is comfortable-- we love this spot! Definitely recommend eating here hehe

Great food with a nice layout for a small date night and reasonably priced drinks :) I hope they stay around for a while longer because we'll definitely be back! read more

It was busier than usual. I don't think I've seen it so packed. We had to wait for about 10 minutes. Again, not long, but not the usual. They don't have very many beverage choices. They probably have good alcoholic ones, but I don't drink alcohol. I got water. I got pickled beans sprouts, (they're so good), potato croquettes (another fave, but I had to ask for the sauce. They gave me a big thing of it), and cucumber rolls. After waiting a while, I asked about the rolls. They came out about 2 minutes after asking about them. I wonder if it had been sitting or something. They apparently put wasabi in each roll, which they don't usually do. I like when it's plain. Everything ended up good, but it seemed like an off night. The atmosphere is nice. You can sit up close to the kitchen and watch them make sushi. There's a big TV now. I like the decorations, too. read more

Need some sushi for lunch or dinner? This place has got some fresh fish ready to serve up! We started off with some vegetable tempura and gyoza. Hot and very well battered tempura and the gyoza was ok; a little crispy around the edges. Then we got the a few sushi rolls and then the Ahi Tower. This was presented beautifully and very well flavored. Nice atmosphere and good prices. Green tea was good but could be served a little hotter. Only one server during lunch time to take phone orders and tables so patience is needed. All in all, very good and tasteful! read more

We have been going to this place for over 30 years and it is always fabulous. I had never tried this tower before and it was completely totally amazing. Highly recommend this place. read more

My friend took me here having hyped it up quite a bit. We were disappointed to find it was a different restaurant a couple storefronts down from the original which is sitting empty. The food was nothing special. I ordered nabeyaki and they said it came with tempura but instead it came with a few soggy strips of chewy fried dough? No fried shrimp, no fried veggies. Friend got stir fried noodles with beef and it tasted like cheap Chinese restaurant food. So sad that the integrity of the original restaurant is completely lost. Don't be fooled like we were!! read more

Got take out sushi tonight, which is usually amazing as Hakata is our go to spot. However, tonight something was just off. We ordered three of the fancier rolls and a smaller spicy tuna roll. Not sure if something was wrong with the rice tonight, but all of the bigger rolls instantly fell apart when trying to pick pieces up with chopsticks. The spicy tuna roll had a weird color to it and first bite instantly left a weird fishy taste in my mouth, way out of the range of the normal fresh spicy taste we're used to. Don't know if they have a new chef in training or something but for the $90 we paid for sushi tonight it was very disappointing and a far drop down from what we are used to getting. read more

The service was extremely slow, they rushed us out because they were closing because lunch was over even though we waited 40 minutes for our food ordering at 12:32, the staff was extremely rude and disrespectful, the new owners have ruined what Sugi and his wife built. I will never return. read more

The food and service is really good. The floor and tables are disgusting. The floor is absolutely sticky and will practically rip your shoes off. The bottom of the chairs have never been cleaned and have horrible brown dirt all on them. The tables and surrounding area is sticky. They don't have the eye to understand how to maintain a clean restaurant. It used to be a favorite spot, but i cant go back to that disgusting establishment. read more

I've been here twice the owners changed. Service and food is great. The owner walked by each table and checked on her patrons frequently. Food came out quickly even though all the tables were full. read more

Never again! Sashimi wasn't fresh (look and taste was awful), presentation, sloppy - super thick sloppy cuts. Tempura was thick battered and soggy. It looked promising until I took a bite. Bento box - the teriyaki chicken tastes like it was made earlier that day, sat, then warmed in the microwave and tossed sauce on it at the end. How do you dry out chicken thigh meat?!? The miso used to be wonderful, instead it tastes like the over chlorinated water served at the table. No soy chunks at all. Sushi roll presentation was sloppy and small. Again, appearance was not fresh and very apparent. The patte was like cat food and super fishy. We waited forever for food. I had to cancel my sake order when food came out and still no sake 30 minutes later. Very sad! This used to be our favorite go to place for years and we stopped going over a year ago when we noticed a downhill trend in quality and service. The service and food quality tonight sealed the deal that we'll never return. $100 wasted! Went to Jo'A for redemption. They've become our replacement. We hoped Hakata had changed but it hasn't and it is worse! Gas station sushi tastes better. Appearance may be better, nice decor, new menus with flashy pictures, but it is far from the quality fresh food you should get. I hope they improve in the future. read more

The sushi is good. There was a shrimp tempura roll that we ordered (not pictured) and I wasn't into it. The breading they had around it was sure different. My mom had some udon ramen and she liked it snd my dad had some Chicken ginger on a bed of rice. Service was good, only one person. read more

I've been coming here for many years and recently came back to visit after new ownership. It was quiet on a Sunday evening, and easy to grab a spot at the bar. I was pleased they had fresh Himachi which is my favorite. All the fish was fresh of course and everything was very tasty. I'd come back when I'm in the area again for sure. read more

Great rolls. I always grab the Las Vegas roll and California roll. Solid prices Everyone, even the chefs welcome ya in each time. Service is always on point and they make sure they check in with you. Highly recommend read more

This used to be the best sushi spot in Kitsap County, stopped going about 6 months ago because of declining quality but decided to give them another shot. The sushi was awful, the fish did not look or taste fresh. The Bento box was a travesty! The tempura was mushy, the sashimi was old, the teriyaki chicken was dry and flavorless and the california roll tasted like something you would get from a gas station. Dont waste your money, go to Jo'a. read more

I am embarrassed to have gone to this place again, but my spouse was seriously craving katsudon, so we thought we'd give it a final chance last Friday night. I got the katsudon too, and it was decent, though the rice seemed overcooked. Dared to order my old favourite of Sugi-san's, the Ichiro rolls, which are supposed to feature smoked salmon with chunks of juicy asparagus. I eat light, so wound up taking the sushi (and two-thirds of my katsudon) home for later. This is why I failed to notice until we'd left that, in the entire sushi order, only ONE PIECE had asparagus. Worse, the fish seemed low-quality, being almost flavourless, while some pieces were pocked with razor-sharp bone shards. Attempting to remove one of these from my mouth got it lodged in the skin of my fingertip, it was that sharp. I threw the rest of the offensive dish away. I often enjoy salmon, so am accustomed to some bones, but never encountered any in this order when Sugi-san made it. The service was fine, so let's say the one star is for the nice waitress, but we will not return. Katsudon is easy to make at home, and I'd make it better. I am glad we managed to catch Hakata when it was still Hakata, under the original ownership. The current place has no right to bear the old name. Didn't dare try the tea since it was so vile last visit, but at least they weren't playing anime theme songs this time. read more

Was sick for nearly a week due to this place. Never again. I ordered the crab nigiri, as I had done many a time, and it shows up looking like fake cra sticks. I point this out to two staff. They assure me that it is "real crab" of course. They explain that things don't look the exact same because the restaurant is under new management. I ate it against my better judgement. Thing is, fake crab contains an ingredient that I cannot digest. read more

Heartbroken. My favorite sushi place has been ruined by new management. Only 7 tables seated, not allowed to sit at the bar...? What the heck, why not. It's not busy at all. Forced to be seated at a table is not how I wanted to start my experience with new management. "Rolls are going to take a long time, maybe you could order entrées instead?" um, excuse me? We are here for sushi. Ordered three rolls, that took 45 min to arrive at the table. Unfortunately our favorite, the spicy tuna, was horrific. Completely inedible. As was the Albacore Tataki. Not fresh, old, oxidized, just straight up disgusting. The whole point of sushi is to have fresh sliced/cut fish. Not this pre prepped, sliced earlier in the day, then stacked in bowls and compressed from other bowls on top. And to top off the night, while we were sitting there other people came in and they were allowed to sit at the bar. What a slap in the face to us. Why them and not us? Rude. I guess I'll be saving a lot of money on my sushi budget, definitely sad to say this, but I won't be returning here unless by some miracle Sugi comes back. I'll mourn Hakata. read more

GREAT customer service. This is the most authentic Japanese restaurant you can get in the Silverdale/Bremerton area. If you like cream cheese in our sushi don't ask for it here because they don't do that. Overall the food is good, and the menu is plentiful. There is something on the menu for everyone. And don't be afraid to try anything out of your norm you will likely surprise yourself and enjoy every bite of it. Would i go back? Absolutely! Would i recommend you go? Absolutely? What dish would I recommend? Spicy Chicken! The restaurant is busy but not noisy at all, I think this place would appeal to most people. I'm rounding my 3.5 overall rating up to a 4, it's well deserved. read more

We dropped in for dinner.seated right away and it was packed. We got the mussels and started with a tuna #2 roll. It was super tasty and we immediately ordered another. It wasn't rolled very tight. We also got some eel and hamachi nigri. The mussels were the star, cooked perfectly and yummy. Great spot but i just wish the rolls didn't fall apart. read more

I have to give these guys props. The food, for silverdale anyway, is pretty legit. The family that runs, and the sushi chef, is why I gave it 5 stars. We came on a sunday to escape the heat as we don't have AC and sushi sounded good. The son of the owners was amazing. We asked if they ever throw out their carcasses after filleting, out of curiosity, and he said to come back on Tuesday and they would give us one or two. (since we were going crabbing the next week). This is way above and beyond and nothing anyone should ever ever expect, but this one act of generosity (and preventing it just going to the trash) made us fans for life. This is the neighborhoody feel good feels you want from a community restaurant. The food is quite good, and is a good value for the price as well. Oishikatta desu. read more

A breath of fresh air. In a place that equates MORE INGREDIENTS with quality, the simplicity of Hakata makes going out to dinner a pleasure. Our table ordered a sashimi & tempura plate, a bento box and several appetizers. All were excellent and we left full and happy. This is our go-to for Japanese in all of Kitsap County. read more

Here is the edited review: We ordered takeout from Hakata in Silverdale tonight. Our order included a tempura appetizer, a large Kobachi, two Ichiro Rolls, a Spicy Tuna #2, a California Roll, and a Spicy Salmon #2. The Kobachi, which is usually plenty for my family of five to share, was much smaller this time compared to what we have received in the past. When I called to address this issue, I was told that I could ask for more next time and they would provide it. The Ichiro Roll, a family favorite that we have been ordering for years, was missing the mayo sauce that is typically included. The Spicy Tuna #2 lacked the expected spice, as it usually has mayo, garlic, and a bit of spice, but this time it was lacking in flavor. Although I have never tried the Spicy Salmon #2 before, it seemed to lack any spice or additional flavors aside from the salmon itself. The total cost of the order was $75.35. It was disappointing to spend that much on food that was mediocre at best. Hakata has always been my go-to sushi spot, and it has been good since the new owners took over. However, tonight's experience has left me questioning whether I will continue to frequent this place. read more

I have eaten many, many meals at Hakata over the past twenty five years or so. I have rated them 5 star many times. Regrettably, the restaurant sold. All our Japanese friends are gone (most importantly the cooks!). What's left is NOT Hakata and is not good. Don't waste your time or money! read more
