" Hayatobi has quickly become one of my favorite spots! The freshness of the ingredients is noticeable. I was truly impressed with the variety of sushi options available. The ambiance is lovely, making it perfect for both casual dining or an intimate meal. The only downside was that I experienced a small hiccup with my order, but it was resolved quickly by the friendly staff. Overall, a fantastic place to enjoy great Japanese fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I was willing to give Hayatobi a try based on other reviews, my experience didn’t quite match the high expectations. The food was good, but I found some of the dishes lacking in seasoning, especially the curry. The sushi was alright, but it didn't wow me. Service was a little slow as well, and I had to remind the server a couple of times for my drink. I might give it another chance, but I was hoping for something a bit more impressive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Hayatobi is a hidden gem! The moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and the atmosphere felt inviting. We ordered various dishes—from sushi rolls to curry—and everything was beautifully prepared. The highlight for me was the Chicken Katsu curry; it was the best I've had in a long time! While we did experience a bit of a wait for our food, it was well worth it. The staff were friendly and always checked in with us. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's serious about their sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Every visit to Hayatobi has been delightful! The authentic flavors remind me of my travels to Japan. The sushi is always fresh, and the chef's special rolls are a must-try. I love how affordable everything is for the quality offered. Service can be hit or miss on weekends as it gets busy, but I appreciate the effort the staff puts into making our experience enjoyable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a cozy spot for sushi! " (*Curated Review*)

" Visited Hayatobi last night and I'm still thinking about my meal! The sushi here is out of this world. Everything from the rolls to the bento boxes is prepared with incredible skill. I had the beef teriyaki, and it was wonderfully tender and seasoned. The service was friendly and accommodating, even though now and then a bit scattered, which is typical for busy spots. Overall, I would rate it highly for quality and taste. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been a regular at Hayatobi since they opened, and it's my go-to for Japanese food! Their Chicken Katsu is beyond delicious, and the curry is spot on. The ambience is cozy, which makes it a great place to unwind after a busy day. Service has improved over time, but on busy nights it can still be a bit slow. However, the quality of food keeps me coming back. " (*Curated Review*)

" Overall, Hayatobi is a hidden gem of a restaurant. The sushi was quality and freshly prepared. I especially loved their special rolls. The ambiance was cozy and would be perfect for a date night. However, I noticed that service could be better coordinated to speed up the dining process. Despite this, I would definitely recommend checking them out! " (*Curated Review*)
