by Lester Versteegh on Thursday's electronic night is bumping, super friendly crowd, good drinks, and great music. 5 stars. I stick to their red wine ($5/glass), but enjoy the odd Pims cup every once in a while ($8-9). Friday's are hit or miss - last time I went I had a most excellent night, but I've also seen girls get rubbed on three ways from nasty. I don't think they ordered that kind of dark and stormy.
by Patti C. on After reading all the rateclubs reviews, I was expecting greatness, and greatness is what I got at Sushi House Hayakawa. Everything was delectable, and the sushi stands out as the best I've had in Atlanta. Especially the salmon, which was so buttery and flavorful it made me feel drunk. My husband decided to go with the sushi/sashimi chef's choice combo, while I took on the $65 omakase. Now, I can usually take down quite a bit of sushi, but the amount of food that comes with the omakase turned out to be a lot more substantial than I thought it would be. However, my husband's combo was somewhat smaller than he had expected, so I shared my courses with him and it all worked out. Next time I think I will order a la carte or try out the $50 omakase. It's my understanding that the chef's choice is different every night, but these were my courses: 1. Starter: Seaweed combo, herring roe, lotus root 2. Sunomuno: Cucumber, seaweed, assorted sashimi 3. Yakitori: Chicken 4. Tempura: Shrimp, eggplant, sweet potato 5. Nigiri: Assorted pieces with tuna roll 6. Rice with salmon roe 7. Dessert: Choice of green tea/red bean ice cream or red bean pastry (I went with the latter) All delicious! Service was friendly and very attentive. Your water glasses and teacups will never go unfilled here. The place was packed by 7:15 p.m. on a Friday night, so make a reservation just in case!
