** 2.5 stars ** Long-standing sushi restaurant on the border of the East Village, near a cluster of other Japanese restaurants and businesses. The below street level dining space shows its age, but that just makes it feel lived-in and comfortable. A long, gleaming sushi bar lines one side, with a striking live edge wood panel on the wall, and small tables fill the rest of the space. Service is courteous and attentive. Reservations made for the sushi bar, although it's possible to walk in depending on time and day of week. Here for sushi omakase, and there are three to choose from: Traditional (9 pieces, 1 roll, $60), Special (12 pieces, 1 roll, $80) and Premium (12 pieces, 1 roll, caviar & truffle, $100). I find caviar, truffles, gold flakes, and the like unnecessary fluff that don't enhance sushi, so "Special" it was. Alternately, there's omakase for sashimi only or various combinations. Hasaki's sushi is decently made but utterly undistinguished, from temperature to quality of cuts, and the nori was downright chewy. Neta variety was fine, including red snapper, aji, iwashi, akami, otoro, salmon, orange clam, botan ebi, uni, and anago. Seasoned with fresh wasabi and shari (sushi rice) was fine. Among the menu items from the kitchen, they make a good liver cured squid, a classic shiokara that should only be ordered if you know what you're getting into, and grilled shishito peppers. Sake, beers, and wines are offered. The quality of Hasaki's omakase is solidly average, but drops down when price is factored in. Substantially better omakase can be had at similar price points, but it will take some work to find them. In the end, it was portentive to be asked our preference for omakase served in a set or piece by piece. The chef and staff clearly know how to handle both, but even at the bar, some chose the former. Hasaki isn't the place for serious sushi omakase aficionados. But it has enough to offer for most people seeking good quality sushi and sashimi. read more

How this place is not getting 5 Stars eludes me. It's the best kept sushi secret in NYC. The fatty tuna was insane!!! In the best way!!! Even the wasabi is wonderful... such rich texture. Clearly homemade. Miso soup fabulous. Crab appetizer fantastic... we had an assortment of sushi. It was all mouthwateringly incredible in that " I'm craving sushi and thus is hitting the spot" way. This place is wonderful. The service is lovely... as is the ambiance... our waiter was sweet... and if you read my reviews then you know I'm the real deal truth teller. Oh! And the seaweed salad was also put out of this world. Hasaki I will be back! read more

We have been going here for 30 years. The omakase is outstanding and a relative bargain. They have a garden too.

Went during lunch time and was surprised that none of their lunch set has sea urchin - even chirashi or kaisen don! Look at this little sad bowl of Chirashi. Fish was good quality and sushi rice was seasoned well though. I personally find it a bit expensive for this variety of fish. read more

Sunday dinner with two old high school friends. We went with the Combination of Sushi & Sashimi for Three. This is not on the menu but if you ask them for it, they'll gladly do it. The fish here is really fresh and just melts in your mouth. You don't get that toughness when you bite into it, it's cut just right. We got six pieces of oh toro as a supplement. There's a lot of choices in the area but I thought it was very good. A bit pricier than some other places but not too bad, you're getting quality fish. Really courteous wait staff and helpful. read more

The sushi and service is out of this world!! Had the most lovely experience and will definitely be back. The kanpyo role was ameezing.

I am torn between 4 and 4.5 stars. The sushi was awesome - even on a Sunday night near closing time. And the price point for the quality is very welcoming. Everything we had was good, but not amazing so 4 stars it it! The service was very friendly and accommodating too! Standout dishes included: vegetable tempura (very traditional with only lemon and salt), Chinese broccoli, and the sushi dinner (most of the pieces were flavorful and all were well made). Okay dishes included: garlic beef (it was overly tough and not very flavorful), and chicken karaage (fine flavor but not crispy in any sense). Nice little underground spot in the east village with mellow vibes! read more

Bf and I finally came to give this sushi bar a try. Do not underestimate the wait time. If the waitress says 40 minutes, it would not be any faster than that, especially if you go during the peak dinner hours. The interior of the restaurant is super charming, made me picture how it would be like if I ever go and visit Japan. Our waiter's name is Rikiya, he was very attentive, polite, informative and patient, as we had quite a few questions to ask about the menu and different kinds of fish. Here was what we ordered: Clams miso soup - darkest miso soup I've ever seen in NYC, and there were plenty of clams in our tiny bowls. Giant clam sashimi (special) - $30 (5 pieces) [ OHHH MYYY GODDDDD! SWEETEST GIANT CLAM WE'VE EVER TASTED!!!!! AND WE LOVE THE CUT OF THEM! ] Hot house sake - $16 [ SO GOODDDDD THAT WE ENDED UP ORDERING A SECOND BOTTLE!!!!] And here were the lists of sushi/sashimi we ordered: 1st order - Otoro sushi x2 Blowfish sushi x2 Aji-Horse Mackerel Sushi x2 (One of my favorites!) Striped Jack Sushi x2 Sea Eel Sushi x2 Tamago Sushi x2 Uni Sushi x2 (ahhhhh-mazing!) 2nd order- Octopus Sashimi x2 (so sweet!) Miyazaki Beef (A5) Sushi x2 (very buttery!) Red Snapper Sushi x2 Aji-Horse Mackerel Sushi x2 (LOVEEEEEEEE ITTTT!) Yellowtail Sushi x2 (omg omg omg! Never had tasted such tasty yellowtail!) Salmon Roe Sushi x2 (DE-LI-CIOUSSSSSSSS!) Uni Sushi x2 (ahhhhhhhhhh-mazing again!!!) Last but not least, we would not miss the desserts! A scoop of black sesame ice cream ($4) - OMG! Best black sesame ice cream we've ever tasted!!!!! There was actually black sesame bits in the scoop of ice cream!!!! And now we have one less reason to go visit Mitsuwa (a Japanese supermarket in Fort Lee)! - When we told our waiter that we fell in love with the ice cream, he explained that the ice cream is in fact made by the restaurant themselves! SUPER IMPRESSIVE!!!! Tips: 1) THEY DO NOT TAKE RESERVATIONS FOR TABLES, GO EARLIER (530-6) OR GO LATER (930) TO AVOID 1-1.5 HOURS WAIT. 2) They ONLY take reservations for Chef Mori Select, 6 courses, $140 /person! 3) It is a bit pricey compared to any local sushi restaurant, but it is totally worth it! Try the special fishes if you enjoy them as much as we do! 4) The restaurant is located in the basement, and it's very easy to miss! KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!!!! We'll be back for sure! read more

I've been coming here for years, and while I want to be understanding during Covid, I have to say that our $65 per person dinner was just substandard. The salmon teriyaki was bloated and fatty, with no adornment, the salad greens were wilted, and at those prices it just hurt. I want to support these guys but when the quality has slipped so much, I can't say I will come back soon. I hope things get better for them post pandemic. read more

The sushi for two tasted very fresh, offered great variety, and a better deal than ordering dishes separately. Portion size was good. None of the fish particularly stood out. Only thing that I didn't love was the wasabi on each piece of sushi, since I'm not a wasabi fan. read more

I love this Japanese restaurant. ENVIRONMENT: It's conveniently located in east village on the street right next to St.Marks. This street is home to many authentic Japanese restaurants but Hasaki stands out to me as one that offers a variety of traditional Japanese food and a enjoyable dinning environment. The setting is casual but I can also see this as a great spot for dates and business dinning. The service is very good. FOOD: I like the Steak Don a lot. But I also like their miso soup, age tofu, salmon sashimi, and literally everything else. The food comes within 15mins. read more

The boyfriend and I came for our anniversary dinner on 3/8/19, however, to our disappointment the food was mediocre especially being in the central area of all things authentic Japanese. We ordered Hasaki's signature course ($150/person) and the premium omakase ($110/person). Each course was beautifully plated, but a few of the sushi pieces were so fishy I could not eat them! For $400 we expected more. Save your money and go somewhere for omakase. read more

I love this restaurant! Best sushi, and the seaweed salad is out of this world delicious. The staff is kind and they have very good service, a nice ambiance. I have referred several people to Hasaki over the years and they always tell me later how it is now one of their top 5 favorite restaurants in NYC. Highly recommend and grateful they are still with us after the pandemic. read more

Food, service, and cleaness were all good except it can be a little too loud for who wants a quiet dinner. Maybe we were the loudest ones...! Yet, it was very comfy to talk and laugh out loud. Most of the customers were drinking sake, so I dont think ppl cared. People were enjoying themselves, or least thats how it seemed. Ginger was very fresh, and even a little spicy. Miso cod was very soft. Wished house salad was more catered towards Japanese style. read more

Elegant Japanese food place with amazing sushi and cha-soba sets. Upon entering through a small wooden door, the new world I entered immediately bring me to Japan - Simple and natural wooden decorations, jazz music playing in the background, quiet yet agreeable atmosphere. My friend ordered eel over rice ($22 with salad and miso soup) and I ordered cha-soba set ($18). It contains salad, main dish over rice and hot/cold soba. The salad dressing is amazing - rich, a little sour with great aroma (Tastes like sesame, thousands island sauce plus some secret ingredients!), which really opened up my appetite. My main dish is delish seared salmon and salmon roe over sushi rice, hot soba, and plum marinated veggies. The seared salmon is rich, tender - one of the best I've ever had. The hot cha-soba is hearty made, coming with slightly sour soup and spinach and scallions on top. The noodle contains good amount of cha-aroma. I also tried my friend's eel over rice - eel is super tender and fatty. Lastly, a perfect ending - hot tea to waken us from the satisfaction of this delish meal. The price is really fair given the fantastic quality of the meal and the satisfaction I had. I would see myself come back more often to try other dishes. read more

Never disappointed!! The food here is on the pricier side but you pay for the quality!! I typically get the afternoon plate if I make it for their lunch special. It comes with a lot of food: miso soup, salad, sushi, tempura, grilled salmon, etc. It's nothing extraordinary but everything is always fresh and I love the wide assortment if you're in the mood for a little bit of everything! I've been here three times and have always been seated right away; It's however a small spot and can get a bit stuffy. Sometimes the staff is slow but other than that no other complaints!! read more

Really want to go back here as I feel like this could be a five star. Want to start off by saying the staff was great. Always something that gets over looked and it shouldn't here. I ordered the regular set which gave me 8 pieces of nigiri and a roll and a miso soup. The miso soup was fantastic. Miso is usually fine but nothing to write home about, this one was more flavorful. Loved each piece of fish I was served. Beautifully cut. Overall just a great time! read more

So this is it, Hasaki - buhbye forever as I am flushing our 15-year relationship down your fancy toilets as your f**k-up of a maitre'd insisted on seating first those people who clearly arrived after us. It is a true shame because our relationship was ruined by a person to whom the simple task of writing people's names down on a piece of paper and then reading them off in the order written was beyond her. "There is nothing I can do," was the ridiculous and lamely mumbled answer when we called her out on what she did. It was not even an honest mistake, she did not even think to apologize, and treated what she did as a matter of fact - hence this gormless excuse for a maitre'd deserves zero courtesy from us. The point is that if you are not going to take reservations, which is a policy that is perfectly fine, then you have to figure out a way to treat a little better those customers who have been coming to your tiny basement for 15 years. Oh well, we're kind of sure we'll be able to find another sushi place in Manhattan... read more

Following the advice of a friend who hails Hasaki as one of the best sushi joints, we stumbled upon it and decided to try out a few pieces despite being pretty full from an earlier dinner. First things first, this place is really clean and the bathroom is very Japanese meaning, they had one of the multitasking toilets. If you push a button it'll warm the rim, spray water to clean you, etc... I wasn't really into it.. Onto the food... My husband wanted otoro, but they only had chutoro which they claimed was of the same premium quality. He took the bait and said it was good but lacked graining so it didn't really melt in your mouth. The price??? $9 for a single (not two) piece of sushi and the cut of the fish was way small.... I guess we're spoiled being from LA and having Sushi Gen as our "go to" joint that provides the highest quality no nonsense sushi at affordable prices. I had the ume roll which is plum paste, cucumbers, and shiso, which was really good. The oshinko plate consisted of takuan (pickled radish), cucumbers, and some lotus roots which was the best. The only problem was that it was WAY 2 SMALL!! So this place is pretty good and I'm sure if you've got $ to burn, it can be really good. We spent $70 on a few pieces of sushi and some sake. Kinda pricey but definitely worth it at the time. read more

12 pieces of fish for $40, when we ordered the Omakase for lunch. Thank GOD I came with my parents because I'd feel so heartbroken for having to pay that much for 12 itty pieces of fish. I mean, they were delicious that's for sure.. but I'm not sure if I found them so tasty because they were ($40 + $12 tax&svc) / 12 pieces = $4.25 a bite. LITERALLY. The pieces were pretty small, so each piece was one bite each. Maybe I have a big yap, or maybe the cuts were just little. My dad enjoyed the curry soba, and my mom enjoyed her grilled dish. And by 'enjoyed' I mean they said "This is pretty good." - a mild rave, nothing special. I thought the beef negamaki was pretty good, but a little expensive for what you get. I'd give this place 4 stars for the quality of the food, while turning a blind eye to the small portions and the big prices. Worth a try if: 1. you can expense it 2. you have lots of rich friends who are small eaters None of which are an option for me at this point. So, I probably wouldn't be going back. Unfortunately, it's an overall 3. read more

Dine in alone for dinner 6:30PM Tokuju Chirashi ($48) - wonderful! - the variety of freshest fish with its different textures were terrific. Uni was sweet and melted in my mouth. Ikura bursted out the juice from the salty eggs were tasty. Three spiced Chu-Toro melted in my mouth. Fatty yellowtail (Buri) were buttery, rich flavor and was sumptuous mouth-feel.  The dark sweet pickles topping that was between the bed of rice gave soft sweetness to the toppings (sashimi) and rice. That harmony was irresistible. I was asked by my waiter after I finish my medium size sweet shrimp that I would like to have my shrimp head fried or not. That unexpected surprise gave a big smile. Simply placed fried shrimp head was on a Japanese paper with a plate. A slice of lemon that came with was artistically created and my freshly fried shrimp was delicious with some coarse salt. Sansho (Sichuan numbing pepper) was offered to add to Aka-miso (red miso) soup was my first. My Japanese waiter said working here gave many chances to try new things. The pepper slightly elevated the flavor of the soup. If you didn't get the pepper, do ask for it. read more

We were looking for a place to eat near the Public Theater and found Hasaki on Eater NY which is such a reliable source for restaurants. We had a couple of appetizers, the mixed seaweed salad and edamame which was a terrific way to begin our dinner and then the sushi plates. Everything was simply delicious!! We will be returning soon. read more

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place in the East Village, shortly after it's 5:30pm dinner opening time. Passed by this basement location and saw lots of people happily dining at such an early hour, and their food looked delicious! We were on our way to pick up a bottle of sake from Sakaya, but ended up back here after for an early dinner. After reviewing the menu, we realized that many people were there for the Twilight Special for $20 which was only available until 6:30pm. Since we don't usually eat that early, we decided what the heck, lets give it a try since we were there. We ordered the special as well as Tsukemono (Pickles) and Uni. The special started off with a salad, then a miso soup. The miso was the most delicious miso soup I've ever had at a Japanese restaurant. It was piping hot when it came out. This is the only place I know if that uses red miso to make soup, red miso is suppose to be healthier for you anyways if you believe it, but regardless it is much stronger than white miso. The food took forever to come, which annoyed us a bit considering the fact that we ordered first and this other couple got their food at the same time as us. So lesson learned is the twilight special is done in batches in the kitchen, therefore it took a while. The pickles were good. The pickle dish included two pieces of carrot, three slices of lotus root, three cucumber slices along with a handful of red pickles. The uni was quite disappointing. I wouldn't order it again from here. The main course was pretty good. The hijiki salad was my favorite, and I loved the tempura. The eggplants were well flavored. I didn't think the salmon or okra was that special. The sushi dish was decently fresh. It came out immediately after our other plates were taken away. Just normal tuna, salmon and some sort of mackerel. Overall, I had a pleasant experience although the wait for my main course was too long and unacceptable. read more

Hasaki is such an unassuming spot that even though I'd passed by its doors dozens upon dozens of times, I still didn't know just where it was when my friend suggested it for dinner. The answer? Across the street from my brother's freshman dorm, where I had visited him multiple times. As it turns out, Hasaki is a lovely cozy little sushi bar. Though it lacks the glamor and air of celebration of some better known New York sushi joints, the food is much better than you would find at your average neighborhood restaurant. It's simple but well-executed with fresh ingredients. Though Hasaki is not the kind of place to go out of your way for, it is a solid spot for a sushi fix, the sort to attract local regulars. There was a short wait, but we were seated without any hassle and the service was polite and pretty efficient. The restaurant was on the quiet side, small but fairly open, with no two tables invading each other's space. The food was good to impressive. I was with two friends and we went family style. We ordered the negi toro tartare, the grilled black cod, the salmon oyako don, and a combination of sushi and sashimi for one. The two larger dishes came with a choice of miso soup or salad, and we shared two miso soups. This was surprisingly good, heartier and more sour than your standard, with a definite citrus tang. It came with a generous amount of little tofu cubes. We then had the negi toro tartare and the grilled black cod, and both were fantastic. The negi toro tartare was fresh and delicious, with a healthy dose of luscious toro and chopped scallions. The wasabi was also excellent, dissolving in an even crumble in soy sauce. The grilled black cod was super buttery and flaky with great mellow flavor. The appetizer portion was very small. The salmon oyako don was a fantastic dish I'd never had before. "Oyako don" generally refers to a rice bowl made with chicken and egg, "oyako" meaning "parent and child." A salmon oyako don is similar in concept but with more suited to a sushi restaurant - instead of chicken and egg, you get salmon and salmon roe, also known as sake and ikura. Hasaki's version offered salmon seared to a tender pink, along with brilliant briny bursts of ikura. The portion of both salmon and ikura was rather generous, and served over sushi rice, it made for a substantial and delectable dish. The combination of sushi and sashimi came with one piece each of ikura, shrimp, unagi, and toro, along with two pieces each of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, and hirame. There were also little rolls of cucumber and tuna. This wasn't the ideal item for splitting, but it worked out, and everything I tried was pretty good. The unagi was toasty and not slathered in sauce, though I suppose a little more moisture would have been nice. The salmon was superb, nice and fatty with zero sinew. I also ordered a piece of uni a la carte, and this was wonderful, slippery cold and refreshingly creamy and oceanic. Overall, Hasaki didn't knock me out of my seat but I was pleased with the quality of fish and the prepared dishes were well done. I would definitely come back if I lived in the area. The place is also not too bad price-wise, if not exactly a bargain. I lost credit card roulette and the pre-tip total was under $100 for our party of three. You can certainly do much worse for good sushi in New York. read more

Sandwiched between a slew of mediocre Japanese restaurants seemingly with the sole aim of enticing a student population deprived of disposable income, Hasaki stands out with its quality traditional Japanese entrées and fresh sashimi in a chic yet somewhat hidden with a lower-level entrance. One of the best testaments of a quality Japanese establishment would be actual Japanese patrons dining in the restaurant. With that, Hasaki passes the quality test. As a fanatic of Japanese fare, Hasaki is best experienced with a series of small dishes with a combination of sashimi, cooked meats, and chilled vegetables. Personal favorites include chawanmushi, sashimi mini-plate, tuna with grated yams (seasonal), oshinko, and the age tofu. Service is a bit inconsistent at times, but the food is definitely worth the wait. Hasaki has been around for awhile (1984), and they know what they are doing. read more

Beautiful little basement sushi joint in the East Village; I actually walked right past it before I even realized it was there. While it's a little pricey compared to the other cheap izakayas and sushi bars in the St. Marks area, Hasaki definitely delivers. I came in for lunch and tried the Chirashi / Cha-soba set ($18), which came with a beautiful mini chirashi bowl, salad, pickles, and your choice of hot or cold green tea soba noodles. If you're like me and always feel compelled to photograph everything you eat, don't worry; Hasaki's presentation is gorgeous and totally instaworthy (and now I hate myself for using that word). The sashimi was extremely fresh and melted in my mouth, and was perfectly complemented by their fresh wasabi root (not horseradish!), pickled ginger (which was very light and not pungent at all), and sushi rice. The set came with a mountain of soba noodles (I chose cold), which were also very refreshing. Despite their bright green color they don't really taste like green tea, but were delicious all the same. With complementary hot green tea at the end, Hasaki was definitely a welcome reprieve. It's serene in the basement and perfect for dropping out of the hustle of the city for a relaxing and delicious lunch. read more

I am always on the look out to try different sushi restaurants, but from when I first tried Hasaki more than 10 years ago, this is the place that I always come back to. I had tried better food elsewhere. But you will be hard pressed to find better quality for the prices that Hasaki is charging. What it comes down to is consistently great food, efficient service, reasonable prices. Every time we come here, we get reminded why we came back and always leave happy. The best part of the whole experience is their attention to the little details. Starting with the salad, they have an amazing ginger dressing that is the best I have ever tasted. The veggies are also top quality (you won't be finding iceberg lettuce in your salad here). The miso soup is also one of a kind. Here, they use red miso paste making it extra flavorful, and add in cilantro and small cubes of tofu, which are nice touches. Even their cup of hoji cha (green tea) is more flavorful than other places. I have tried most of the menu items, and would have to say that the $35 Kaisen don is my favorite. It's simply the best that you can get in the city for the price. Each piece of sashimi is in the perfect mouthful size that melts in your mouth. To me, one important component of a good chirashi/kaisen don is the rice, and Hasaki has the best tasting rice. It comes down to them using quality rice and paying attention to to balance the flavors so that it flavor, but not too sour or salty. I also like their tamago sponge cake which is somewhat unique and is almost a mini dessert within the kaison don itself. To top it off, they give you fresh grated real wasabi. If you are hungry and want to eat cheap, come here for the $20 twilight special (must be ordered before 6:30 p.m.). Plenty of food, including a piece of grilled fish, tempura, sushi, and a variety of veggie side dishes, and everything is well executed. read more

Fresh high quality sushi that simply melts in your mouth! It is a bit pricey than other Japanese restaurants.

WOWOW! This is one of the best Japanese restaurants that I've eaten. My hubby and I ate here on a Wednesday night, and we were surprised how packed this place was. We waited 15-20 minutes for a table. I really enjoyed the special touch of the warm hand towel when we arrived to the table. We ordered the following for dinner: + Vegetable Tempura Appetizer ($10) - Okay.. I was a bit disappointed to see the small portion size of the tempura. There was like 6 pieces of vegetables. At least the batter was good. + Combo Sushi & Sashimi for 2 ($54) - We had CA rolls, spicy tuna rolls, toro, tuna, salmon, and more. Yum yum yum. I love the salmon and the toro. Oh goodness. They were so creamy, fatty, and fresh! I savored every moment of eating the sashimi and sushi. Best sashimi ever!! Definitely recommend the salmon and/or toro. In addition, the combo comes with either miso soup or salad. We had the miso soup and it is really hearty. I've never tasted miso soup like this before, but the flavor was intense. Service was good. Our tea cups were always refilled, and we weren't overly bothered by the waiters. Yes, the prices are a bit high, but the quality is great! I still dream about those toro and salmon sashimi. Nom nom nom. read more

The price goes up again??!!! A sushi regular goes up to 30 bucks. Too much for 8 pcs and 1 roll. I used to visit with my family once every two weeks. Pease don't try to get fancy and lose your regular customers. No way I will pay 12 bucks for seaweed salad. I still remember you used to charge 6.50 or sth like that.

"One of the sushi stars...." I'm hesitant to write about this place for fear will that it will be overrun by likes of you.

Great sashimi presentation and sushi bar items were served with raw grated Japanese horseradish! I agree with the other yelpers, their fish quality was good but not outstanding. For the price point they are charging my party expected the service to be more efficient, except it took more than 30 mins for the kitchen staff to fry 2 pieces of sweet shrimp heads. Besides that, the restaurant was not even busy when we were there. Most guests were having food from the sushi bar. IMO this place is too hyped up and not worth MY $$$. read more

This time I came during lunch time... much more enjoyable experience than last time thanks to the space. Since I was dining alone, finally the table was big enough to hold all the food, haha. Wonderful food - taste, variety, presentation were all top-notched. Besides, $18 afternoon plate lunch set might be the best deal one could find in the city. I really really love their utensils btw. There were two kinds of tea that were served, barley tea and super smooth Japanese green tea. The tea cup was adorable! The only thing that was lack a bit was the service, but what can I say, the staffs just always seem so busy. I can't blame them. Otherwise, I would totally give them 5 star!! read more
