Hito Yatai

First time here and I will be back again soon. Great sushi and good choices for those who may not like sushi. My son got the Atlantic (farmed) salmon with two huge fillets, potato salad and miso soup. I got the snow crab roll and rainbow roll. Huge portions and comparable to Mikuni's prices. And much closer to my house.Great service too.

Impressed with the menu and dinner specials. There is WAY better than average sushi at Hito. The quality of fish stands out and the menu options are very traditional which I appreciate. It's nice not seeing mayonnaise smothered over ridiculously named rolls so if that's your jam go elsewhere. Very kind service, to include a young and ambitious owner. It's usually crowded and the kitchen can get backed up but this can happen. I guess my point is to come with patience and kindness. We've also gone for omakase which wasn't much to rave about, however I would return to choose my own dinner from their menu.

PORTIONS: filling and heartyPRICE: appropriate for quality of food, but maybe not service? SERVICE: omakase - needs work. Started off badly with no introduction or explanation about the service. I thought the man in front of us was a sous chef waiting for our chef to return because he kept staring at the door and not saying anything. Turns out he was our chef. There was no menu so we didn't know how many courses there were or what was being prepared. When I made the reservation , they DID ask about allergies, but did NOT ask about preferences. Multiple times during the evening the chef made us wonder what was happening, how long the next preparation would take or where he went off to. It would've been helpful to have a printed menu or at least to say at the beginning how many courses there will be, how long each takes, why there's a delay, and generally to communicate. AMBIANCE: clean and openFLAVORS:Omakase (10/5) flavors were great! Cannot complain about the food it was amazing! BONUS TIP: parking private lot, on the corner

I ordered the Carpaccio, Super Spicy tuna roll and the gyoza and everything was delicious. The service was great and staff are friendly. The place is clean and cute. K would definitely come back.

Always a delight over here. Food, service and atmosphere is amazing. Cameron did not disappoint and so was the meal. Thanks Cameron!

The food was good, the menu was somewhat limited. The service was okay, but not timely. They could definitely use another waitress. It is nice and clean, however, very noise when busy due to its small dinning area.

A true hidden gem. My fiancé and I love this place so much! Every single bite is so amazing and all the recommendations are good. I love the Hamachi and Unagi here. The place is very cozy and the staff makes you feel very welcomed. Thank you Nick for taking care of us! We can't wait to come back soon!

Overall the food is 3.5 star but service was just so so.. ... felt the service was pretty slow when we were the first people there and then another couple show up. Server asked me if I wanted tea, I assumed that it was free but unfortunately not..and funny enough that I didn't see hot tea in their menu.The food were good, some was better than others.The beef tendon skewers were very good! Very savory and tender.Okonomiyaki- delicious, very authentic Hatai- good/ fresh hamachiHokkaido- looks plain but it was good. The tempura scallops was very fresh 5 pieces nigiri- I will skip this. The 5 pieces of fish aren't that special to cost $5 a piece except the chutoro. The chutoro had some chewiness 7 pieces sashimi- good and worth the $253 trio tuna- Alamo, chutoro and Otoro... all good. Again, the chutoro was a little chewy and had like what people call "sinew"I notice that the "sushi chef" maybe is inexperience. Notice the cuts were somehow uneven, the cuts they do on the Akami and chutoro was a little weird.. probably that's what I tasted the sinew (chewiness)

2nd time being here but had to get take out due to holiday events! The food never disappoint! Everyone is nice definitely a nicer goto place !

If you want exotic fish, octopus prepared differently than normal, or what's allegedly traditional Japanese cooked foods (there were 3 tables of older Japanese patrons so it must be legitimate Japanese small cooked dishes), and you can't wait to pay a lofty price for it, come here.The service on both visits was polite at the tables. Their voices are extremely low and the place is loud.I wanted to dine at the bar, but yesterday they didn't answer the phone because they were too busy. I arrived tonight to be told the two remaining seats were reserved. But they were empty for most of my dining period. They need to resolve their reservation system problem and set up something online.The decor is simple and plain. I like that. The tables feel sticky and gross. They seem to be real wood, treated, but the protective coat is replaced with stickiness from cleaning solvents. It's also unappealing that the savory custard comes with a wooden spoon to eat it. Not enjoyable to eat with. Also my oysters had some shell fragments. Thankfully, I've learned to eat most meat/shelled proteins slowly and carefully.Prior visit late September 2023 the dream fish roll was twice the size as it was tonight. Very disappointing. The nigiri always has liquid on them and/or are torched. I decided to convey no torch and no ponzu sauce, but if it's not smokey tasting, I'll try the liquid on the nigiri. It was nonsense. Do you put A-1 Sauce on a good cut of steak? No. I want my fish pure, clean, delicious. And for the hefty price I paid, it would have been nice if there was a small dollop of pickled wasabe.I appreciate the polite service, but it's been slow for me both visits and the food isn't that spectacular and the sticky tables are gross. Sadly, I don't believe I'll be returning.
