Food 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 Walked in here randomly because it was something I had saved for a bit now and I already liked that I didn't have to look for parking on a Sunday 3pm in a busy shopping center. It was busy inside but still got seated without waiting. Insane quality of fish not one single item I ordered had an off taste. The fast that my spicy mayo and ponzu was full when I left goes to show how insanely well they prepared the food sauce wise. Overall great place I will be back to try more things for sure. All this food double the salmon roe and scallop sushi because it was that good I had to go for round 2 but all this for 80$ was insaneeeee!!!!! And of course leave tip lol. For sure coming back! read more

Reasonable sushi eats in k-town. Went for a weekend sushi dinner. Theres some parking in the plaza, as well as street parking if you're lucky. We had an rsvp but wasn't busy when we arrived. Was sat immediately and served water. They have a pretty extensive menu of most things you'd find at a sushi cut roll spot. We ended up ordering the toro garlic toast, veggie tempura, ginza roll, and several pieces of nigiri sushi. The toro garlic toast was pretty good - sort of like a spicy tuna crispy rice situation ... but a little fattier and more garlicky than crispy. The ginza roll was pretty good too - a lot of fish in the roll and wasn't overwhelming with too much sauce. The tempura was good too- not super oily and all your typical veg involved. The nigiri sushi were pretty well prepared. The size was pretty good for the price - and each were accompanied by a small garnish on top or a little bit of sauce brushed on. All in all - I wouldn't say it's a date night place, but is a good easy eats sushi spot for rolls and nigiri for the price. Would recommend! read more

Found this place through Dine LA and I'm so glad my friend and I decided to try it! We ordered the donburi set meal and it came with so much delicious, fresh food. For $35, it was honestly such a great deal. We left completely full and satisfied. Everything tasted high quality! We also ordered sake, and I loved the way they served it. It stayed warm the entire time, which made it so smooth and easy to drink. The restaurant itself was clean and nicely decorated, simple but inviting. It was pretty busy when we came in, and even though there was only one server working, she was still very attentive and made sure we were taken care of. Parking was easy too since it's located in a plaza, which is always a plus. Definitely a great Dine LA find! read more

Food 5/5 Service 3/5 Reservation system 1/5 Drinks 1/5 I was looking on resy for last minute reservations. I found Hato and saw that they had a DineLa offering as well! So I made reservations at 4:45 for 5:30pm on resy. But when I got to the restaurant, they couldn't find my reservation. I double checked the address and location - but they said they were sold out of fish (????) but to wait. Long story short, they ended up seating us 15 minutes later. What was odd is that resy still had a lot of open reservation times but they were apparently booked? IDK anyways something is wrong with their reservation system and resy. I got an email from resy saying thank you for dining at Hato, the next day. So maybe call and make sure they got your reservation especially for same day because the restaurant is small and they don't have a lot of capacity to tolerate overbooking/booking errors Ok but now the food- We got the 95 dollar tasting menu and it was divine! We loved the snapper rice to share for the table. The cuts of sushi were perfect and they used dry aging and various marinades. We had an option of choosing mixed raw fish rice (hato rice) or toro tuna rice - both were so good. The food just kept coming and we were super full at the end. The black sesame ice cream is way better than the green tea which was too mild for me. The servers could also have explained the sushi better too. It was too quick and also the plates were placed in different orientations which made us question which one was which. The house wines were 5 dollars a glass and tasted worse than hot gas station wine. I wasn't expecting much but it was awful wine. I wish they had a better drink menu. read more

I wouldn't have found this restaurant if it wasn't for them participating in DineLa and I'm so glad I did! A beautiful restaurant in a small shopping center with parking spots and plenty of street parking. It was half full when we arrived around 1:15 on a Saturday and quickly filled up - might be safe to make a reservation. I ordered the Unagi Donburi set on their DineLa menu and it was incredible!! Everything was sooo delicious: fresh fish, unagi was perfectly cooked, the seasoned rice with sesame oil, the crispy seaweed roll with the sweet dipping sauce was out of this world. I was so happy eating this whole thing. I would love to come back and try other items like the mala udon, toro bowl and sashimi sets. read more

Hato Sushi - DineLa Unagi Donburi Set - highly recommend! What a great price for all of this food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Food was great! Came here for Dine LA but the service was unacceptable. I just bought a new camera and decided to test it out with my friend, and the servers were visibly pointing at us, talking shit and laughing at us the entire time. If you're going to clown people, at least do it in the back where the customers can't see. Won't be back. read more

Came on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty empty which is crazy because this place has amazing quality and flavors and free parking in ktown is unheard of! They do start valet later at night though. We got the Hato donburi set and one eel donburi. My friend doesn't really like raw fish but the sashimi here was so well prepared and fresh that they thought it was really good. Personally I was really full from the donburi set but my friend believed it to be less filling. The portion sizes are smaller but I think they're actually perfect for how much they give you. We started off with the rock shrimp tempura which was nicely fried and really flavorful with the eel sauce and spicy mayo. The shrimp were perfectly cooked, plump, and juicy. Now for the set, the Salmon, tuna, snapper, and white fish were fresh, well prepared, and high quality. I would come back for their $45 dollar omakase and think that it's worth it! I love that the cucumbers were fresh. The salad was a bit wilted but I didn't mind. The mackerel was perfectly cooked but I wish the skin was a bit crispier. Now for the main course the donburi was filled with so many different types of minced fish which wasn't fish at all with savory umami hits from the ikura. For 28 dollars this set is a steal! If you're craving sushi come here! read more

We saw this place on IG and decided to check out their DineLA menu. Restaurant inside is pretty small, about 10 or so tables with most groups doing their DineLA deal. $95 for multiple courses. We started with the miso soup and salad, followed by chicken karaage, sushi/sashimi, toro bowl, then ended with the hot stone rice and ice cream. Each table only gets one serving of the chicken karaage and a choice of hot stone rice or udon. Some of the dishes were slow in coming out and the staff were very apologetic. The food was delicious and I especially loved the toro (fatty tuna) sushi and sashimi. Some of the other pieces of sushi had wasabi in it - wasn't a big fan because it felt quite overpowering, would have preferred to have just the fish and rice. We were filled after all of the courses and enjoyed ourselves greatly! There's also a raffle to win a labubu for those who participate in their dineLA menu. It's located in a strip mall with shared parking, can be difficult to get parking in the lot though there is a valet service. We parked one street behind the restaurant in the neighborhood and found parking easily. read more

10/10 experience - my friend and I were looking for an authentic sushi restaurant for lunch on a Wednesday in LA. We were SO happy and pleased that we decided to try Hato. The restaurant itself is quiet, hip, and extremely clean - great place to go with friends for lunch or a fun date night dinner! Between the two of us, we shared: the lunch special combo (28.95$, extremely worth it & comes with sashimi, soup, eel, grilled fish, and salad), the premium sashimi platter, shrimp tempura (YOU NEED TO GET THIS OPTION - best I've ever had), and a California roll (sounds basic, BUT trust me they make it best here with actual crab). Everything was fresh, tasty, and delicious. Our server, Yeri, was so sweet and attentive. She guided us through the menu, and always made sure our experience was nothing less than amazing! read more

I had a pleasant experience on Friday evening, what made me come in and explore was the Labubu giveaway as well. Located in the heart of Korea town, it is located in a plaza with valet parking available or street metered parking. I was lucky and found street parking. As soon as I walked in, it was not packed and I was sat right away. Interior décor is kept at dimmed lights, nicely decorated tables with lamps, place was neatly kept clean. I ordered the 4 piece gyoza and Sapporo beer to start off, the gyoza arrived hot and crispy, the sauce that it came with was so good it complimented the gyoza well. 5/5 for me I also ordered their baked salmon roll and although I did enjoy this roll, I felt the portions are a tad bit skinny for my likings, I decided to order their same roll; another one for me and this time I got full. 4/5 wish they were a tad bit more thick in consistency. While I waited for my second baked salmon roll, I was given miso soup which was deliciously hot. Overall a great experience for my first time, I recommend this spot if you are nearby and craving some sushi or beer. read more

Came here on a Thursday night, there wasn't much people, but the food did not disappoint. [Food 5/5]: Ordered the 12 set of nigiri. The quality of the fish was better than I expected, since I've never heard of Hato before. Each piece just melted in my mouth. The uni was my favorite. It was so sweet and creamy. [Ambiance 5/5]: Nice dim lights, perfect for a date spot. [Service 4/5]: Service was fast and the waitress was nice. However, I just didn't like how they said they're closing and took away our sake even before we finished it. Other than that, the food was delicious. Definitely recommend. read more

Saw this place on Instagram and was excited to try it out. We came for dinner on a Saturday night and were seated right away. We had the octopus karage, cherry blossom roll, and an assortment of nigiri. Service was good. A lot of their rolls have interesting flavors -- saw some with pico de gallo, soy paper. The roll we got came with a really sweet sauce that I wasn't a big fan of. Fish quality was good but a little pricey. read more

A small, modern sushi place in ktown in the inner corner of small plaza. Interior is moody and perfect for a date night or casual hanging out. On a Friday night, it was half full and had a quiet ambience. Service was nice and the menu had a bit of everything typical of a sushi place. Their Ginza Roll and Baked Salmon Roll were Delicious, but their Specialty Hato Roll was disappointing. The Roll itself is very bland with no seasoning so you can dip into their Truffle Sauce, but it did not pair well together at all. For a Roll named after the place, it fell quite short of expectations; but if you're someone who likes to try new flavors, don't let it stop you from trying it. Menu prices are a little pricier than competitors but they are a newer sushi place. Parking is valet on a weekend night or street if you can find it. There was also an odd odor walking into the restaurant and bothered us for the first few minutes we sat down, not sure if it came from the outside or cleaning chemicals, but it might've been a one time thing. read more

The food was so good. 10/10 recommend. The service was fast, friendly, and accommodating. I ordered the spicy tuna roll with avocado. It's definitely on the spicy side but the avocado was perfect and everything was super fresh. The 911 roll was yummy and I would order it again. By far my favorite thing I ate here was the otro. I would order everything again but I would be back and recommend this location not just for their friendly, and fast service but because their food is definitely worth it. read more

Wow, I am still dreaming of Hato Sushi! Truly an unassuming gem that will blow you away with a humble and fantastic dining experience! Tucked away in a little plaza in Los Angeles' Koreatown, Hato Sushi is now one of my favorite sushi restaurants! We made a quick reservation while we were 30 mins away and were seated as soon as we came to the restaurant. Our servers were very sweet and friendly. You can tell they were proud to be there. Love the modern, classy yet edgy aesthetic with Japanese music playing! Our food out very fast and nicely prepared! EVERYTHING WAS SOO FRESH AND FULL OF UMAMI! Salmon Carpaccio: 5/5 The Silky, buttery cuts of salmon with truffle oil just melted in our mouths! Candy Cane Roll: 5/5 Whoo the jalapeno slices were fresh and spicy! Salmon lightly torched- I love that layer of flavor! Perfect rice ratio in the roll. Alaska Roll: 5/5 Fresh Salmon over California Rolls, you can't mess this up but wow, the best California rolls we've ever had! A humble roll but flavors were definitely elevated! Toro Garlic Toast: 5/5 Toro, fatty buttery silky! The garlic toast was crunchy and herbacious! Amaebi Nigiri: 5/5 Amaebi is my all-time favorite sushi, and the sweetness and freshness of the shrimp were perfect. The fry on the shrimp head was light, like shrimp chips! Can't wait to come back! read more

The fish is incredibly thick and fresh with amazing presentation. If you want an affordable and delicious meal in K-Town, save this post and check it out! read more

This is a hidden gem in Koreatown waiting to be discovered. The quality of the sashimi was immaculate in all of the dishes. The toro bowl was the standout dish since the tuna was so buttery and you could make it into mini hand rolls if you choose to. If you want more variety, the chirashi bowl is perfect, or the premium sushi set with 8 pieces of nigiri. I don't typically go for rolls but I tried the two most popular rolls, Cherry Blossom Roll and Baked Salmon Roll, and they were delicious. It was pretty saucy so it's a much heavier meal than the classic Japanese dishes. The tempura wasn't my favorite just because the batter wasn't light and airy like usual but rather very crispy and tough. It depends on your preference though because my boyfriend loved how crunchy it was. The inside is very spacious and offers group seating as well as solo dining. There's valet parking in a small lot but there's also street parking available. read more

This was the best dinela experience I have ever had hands down. The food is delicious, well paced, staff are nice, and the parking lot is free too! Every single dish was AMAZING. The oden soup especially had me surprised since it seems so simple. The sashimi and nigiri were also chefs choice and he gave us incredible cuts of fish and also explained which ones we should eat first. The salmon truffle combo was new to me and it blew my expectations away. Only thing I might not get again is the mala udon but even that was insanely good. We came with 3 people but the dinela menu is meant for pairs of 2 but the staff were kind and accommodated us. The menu only came with the stone pot but she asked if we wanted to add another entree (the mala udon) to supplement for free! 100% check this out one of my favorite sushi experiences in LA. read more

I liked this place and would go again! The staff was really nice and welcoming and even gave us a complimentary shrimp head appetizer. Nigiri is definitely the way to go as the cuts are fresh and thick. The roll was good too, but I'd rather get the garlic toast. The inside is clean and quiet and good for a date spot. In an unassuming part of ktown, but a good addition to places I've tried read more

We went here for an early dinner before blackpink concert and got seated right away. Everything we ordered was delicious and fresh and service was great.

My favorite was the supreme sushi selection. Presentation was satisfying and all the different cuts of fish were fresh and balanced. read more

The sushi was tasty. Fresh and flavorful. There was only one server on the floor when I went, which is not the server's fault, but it did take longer than it probably should have to get everything settled. I really liked the salmon sushi and the salmon avocado roll. I was not a huge fan of the cherry blossom roll - it was a bit sweet for my taste. The garlic edamame was incredible though! Would return. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem. Came here with my husband, and we decided to try so many different things. We had the vegetable tempura, spicy tuna crispy rice, and red miso eggplant for our appetizers. We loved the spicy tuna crispy rice. We ordered the toro bowl, chirashi bowl, hato rice, and mala udon. We loved the toro bowl the most. The hato rice was different, but in a good way. Never had cooked black snapper, and it was delicious. The brothe of the mala was also yummy. Our service was friendly, quick, and easy. Parking can be tricky on the weekends, so it's better to go early since that lot is shared with multiple food businesses. Overall, I would definitely go back. I'd love to try their premium nigiri! read more

A quiet and nice interior ambiance, perfect for the sushi restaurant vibes. I had the toro bowl, which was given with nori on the side to create your own hand rolls with if you want! A delicious gem, a restaurant that has food this good tends to have a long wait and there was no wait when I went. I also had the mala udon, which was packed with umami flavor and a very decent yet easily handled spice level. The udon noodles did not disappoint either. My friends had the premium sushi selection, which I didn't try but it looked very delicious as well. Overall a great place and somewhere I will go again to try more of their menu of. read more

Los Angeles' Koreatown neighborhood is known for Korean food but did you know about Hato Sushi, my new favorite LA sushi spot? You can get a quality nigiri (of so much variety) sushi experience here for $80, and you have to also check out their other selections! Each dish is made fresh once ordered and it really does feel like a journey for the tastebuds here @hatosushi_la. Do try their Red Miso Eggplant as an appetizer and also be sure to order their comforting Hato Rice in Hot Stone.

Seriously the best hidden GEM that needs to blow up. HATO and it's service is incredibly delightful and will simply make you swoon in sushi heaven. The creativity in the combination of flavors is something I haven't seen and those hot stone mixed rice is something I never encountered. Oh that garlic miso eggplant tempura as an appetizer just jump starts your appetite for more HATO! Eating dishes created inside HATO will ruin all your thoughts about other spots that serve sushi or any type of Japanese cuisine. For example, I recently gave my fellow foodie friend @michellelaisaunchu so much of crap about her being too pretentious about her sushi standards . She kept comparing all the sushi spot around town to this spot and after dining here, I can see now why! HATO really elevates your tastebuds and expectations on sushi and Japanese cuisine should be presented and taste like . What I enjoyed at Hato! - Red Miso Eggplant Tempura - Hato Hot Rice Pot : Grilled Black Snapper, Shiitaki, Masago served in a sizzling stone pot - Supreme Sashimi Set: Thick Amazing cuts of freshest fish that range from salmon, uni, fatty tuna, scallops LOVE HATO SOOOO MUCH!

My friends & I came here for dinner last night to celebrate my friend's bday. Ambiance was small & for a Saturday night, it was pretty empty throughout the night which was shocking bc everything we ordered was delicious! We started off with the octopus karage which turned out perfectly crisp & not oily at all. I'm used to ordering the chicken karage at other places but I personally think the octopus was better. The salmon blue crab was packed with flavor & so yummy. The Sushi was the highlight of the night. 3 of us ordered the 8 piece omakase & it was just the right amount of portion for us. The fish was fresh & good quality. The rice to fish ratio was perfect & it went melted in my mouth. Along with the meal, I ordered hot sake which was nice & warm the entire time. Lastly, to our surprise, the server brought out complimentary dessert for my friend's bday which was such a nice gesture. The green tea & black sesame ice cream was topped with jujube & 4 small donut balls with taro filling in one of them. The portion was big enough for 3 of us to share & we enjoyed it. The service was attentive & excellent. I definitely recommend all sushi lovers to check this place out! You won't be disappointed. I look forward to coming back to try more of their appetizers & nigiri/sashimi. read more
