Hatsuhana
27 people recommend, 1 warns against itvia r/FoodNYC29 comments cited below
What people say, in short
Hatsuhana draws repeated recommendations for sushi sets in Midtown. One diner finds the sushi deluxe particularly good value, while a longtime customer prefers the table-served sushi special to the counter omakase. It is also a family lunch favorite in one account. The caveat is consistency: a dissenter reports several disappointing lunches and has stopped returning, despite the restaurant's other fans.
