Hatsu
8 people recommendvia r/AskNYC, r/FoodNYC8 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Hatsu earns recommendations for an omakase meal followed by additional nigiri. Two commenters particularly like the variety of its all-you-can-eat selection, and one compares its rice and drinks favorably with rival counters while preferring Hayashi's fish. Another diner enjoyed a lively atmosphere. Accounts describe different repeat-piece and drinks arrangements, so they should not be read as a guarantee of unlimited service on every visit.
