What People Are Saying About Sushi House Hayakawa
The Editor
Jonathan Baker

In Short – Donning a bright red bandana that would make the Karate Kid proud, "Art" Hayakawa works the room at his Buford Highway sushi haven like an Asian Guy Smiley. His attitude and enthusiasm is infectious, and his critically acclaimed restaurant is a direct reflection. The staff is knowledgeable, the room is charmingly simple and the menu is true sushi paradise. Art flies in his fish from Tsukiji, the largest fish market in Tokyo, injecting authenticity that's risky but worth the shot. The shiny-skinned Japanese gizzard shad is prepared the traditional way with the skin intact, Red…

Sushi was ok but TERRIBLE service
by marge1621 at Citysearch
First of all, let me start by saying I am not the type to write bad reviews, but this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had at a restaurant. We went on a Sunday night with some friends to try this place out since it had gotten such great reviews. It was a hike to get out to Buford Hwy (and it was storming that night), but I was hoping it was going to be worth the drive. After being seated, we were immediately greeted by Art, who was cheerful and very welcoming - we thought this was a good sign. However, Art was about the only good thing about the meal. We ordered a couple of appetizers and some sashimi and nigiri for our entrees. The sashimi plate came out before the appetizers, our drinks weren't refilled until almost the end of the meal, and they forgot to ring in two of our appetizers. There was no apology from the wait staff. I waited tables all throughout highschool and college, so I can understand when servers get in the weeds, but it wasn't even busy that night!!! We arrived at 7 pm and didn't receive all of our entrees until almost 10 pm - which is when they informed us the kitchen was closing - so we couldn't even order any more food to make up for the missing appetizers. The sushi itself was actually ok, but we received such horrible service that I'll never go back there again. I left hungry and very dissatisfied. Thanks Sushi House for a waste of $100 on the worst meal ever! Please, save your money and go to MF instead.
- Pros: Art
- Cons: Service, service, service
