This sushi spot is somewhat obscure since it’s downstairs and pretty small, making it ideal for dates rather than large groups. We decided upon the sushi for 2, which came with the standard appetizer of a miso soup or salad w/​ginger dressing. While I love sashimi, I’ll admit I’m horrible at identifying the different types of fish but each piece was definitely fresh and delicious! To finish off our meal, they served green tea. Total came out to be ~$ 35pp after tax/​tip, which I think was fair for the service and quality of the food.

Thoroughly enjoyed the sashimi, the sushi was decent.
Had the Zuisen and this really made the meal excellent. The miso soup must be a red version because it was richer in flavor compared to regular miso, this I also enjoyed. Waitstaff is super accomodating during weekday lunch.

Went for late dinner and ordered:
— a miso soup: good but little salty
— chawan mushi (I am very in loce of this dish, I always order it if it’s in the menu!) this one was super tasty and smooth. Love it
— couple of rolls: california and one with salmon. They both were really nice
Overall very good quality of the food and good service.
Maybe a little pricey for the small portions you get…
They serve you a cup of tea by the end of the meal.

We had organic salmon rice bowl, Omesake and couple of drinks for little over $ 100 for two persons.
Food:
Organic salmon was little over cooked, rice was dry. 50 $ Omesake was just okay, the quality of fish was rather disappointing. rice was over-​seasoned and overpower the flavor.
Service:
Service at the door with a woman who seems to be a manger of the place was pretty bad. Just rude for no reason from entering. Even for nyc standard, it was odd. Maybe just busy Saturday night thing, not sure. (Other staffs at the table were friendly and very attentive though.)
Would I go back? Probably not.

Always love coming here for years. Small place but good for a group of 6 or so. Sushi is always fresh and as authentic as it gets. Simple and delicious. Everyone is so friendly and service is great. Casual attire. Noise level is fine for good conversation.

Difficult to choose from the great options. Excellent, fresh food is served with pride. And all the staff are helpful, attentive. On recent visit, I had Nabeyaki Udon & my 8-​yr old had Soba Set with Salmon Oyako. We both loved our meals. And the green tea flows– the waitstaff circulate the cozy space with a large pot for frequent refills. Love it!!!

Really nice.
I’ve eaten here twice = for dinner and lunch. It’s light.
I had the teriyaki salmon — with real teriyaki sauce that isn’t sticky. Their grilled fish is amazing.

If the food is great I don’t care about service. But food itself was so bad and plus service is aweful. I ordered some udon. And that is extremely salty. Asked some hot water to make that soup less salty. But even though I poured one cup of the water soup is still super salty. I went to Japan before I tried so many kind of udon and Japanese food. This food is in my worst 5 Japanese food in my life. It was a Japanese resturant without any Japanese customers, I could see why.

Elegant Japanese food place with amazing sushi and cha-​soba sets.
Upon entering through a small wooden door, the new world I entered immediately bring me to Japan — Simple and natural wooden decorations, jazz music playing in the background, quiet yet agreeable atmosphere.
My friend ordered eel over rice ($ 22 with salad and miso soup) and I ordered cha-​soba set ($ 18). It contains salad, main dish over rice and hot/​cold soba. The salad dressing is amazing — rich, a little sour with great aroma (Tastes like sesame, thousands island sauce plus some secret ingredients!), which really opened up my appetite. My main dish is delish seared salmon and salmon roe over sushi rice, hot soba, and plum marinated veggies. The seared salmon is rich, tender — one of the best I’ve ever had. The hot cha-​soba is hearty made, coming with slightly sour soup and spinach and scallions on top. The noodle contains good amount of cha-​aroma. I also tried my friend’s eel over rice — eel is super tender and fatty. Lastly, a perfect ending — hot tea to waken us from the satisfaction of this delish meal.
The price is really fair given the fantastic quality of the meal and the satisfaction I had. I would see myself come back more often to try other dishes.

Passed by this place tens of times and never noticed it; this time I saw the charming crowded basement bar. The place is small crowded in a very charming way, eating at the bar is a great experience. The food was bit pricy nonetheless was great. The service was very friendly and good.
Overall a good experience

What do you do when you craving for a good sushi but doens’t feel like to spend lots of money on food? I go to Hasaki.
Seriously, they got their omakase price for $ 38 for lunch, $ 48 for dinner. Despite the fact that I never like their special (or weird) taste of miso soup, I always love to have a meal from this place as they do serve a good quality of sushi. I am sure that it wouldn’t be too much to say that this could be one of the best value sushi in Manhattan.
Itamae exactly knows what he’s doing. Their stuff is not super fresh compare to other places who demands over $ 100/​$ 150 for omakase yet still good enough to be called as fresh. And Itamae likes to apply yuzu-​citrus flavors on some of pieces to give little it little acidity and refreshing taste on the piece of fish which could be little fishy in general. I would call it very good technique as most of pieces become very enjoyable. They know how to treat, and enhance their ingredient to explode its potential to maximum. This is most part that I love about them as I see many effort they are trying to put on each piece. You get one by one piece when you sat on sushi bar and each piece made with those highly trained skill. Always enjoying their omakase and will continue to do so.

I had Sushi the night before so this was about the Salmon… easily the best prepared Salmon I’ve had in the city in a long time, I got the Hijiki Seaweed to start which is an excellent texture and taste of black shredded seaweed I loved it, my Salmon in teriyaki sauce came out with the $ 10 Koshihikari Echigo Rice lager beer and they paired GREAT together, it’s a big bottle so get it… with the Teriyaki Salmon!

I have been here for so many times. I decided not going to this place anymore from now on!
Ordered omekase sashimi for 2.
The quality of the fish is so bad! Fishes are with bones and tasted so un-​fresh.
Waiters were delivering the plate over customers head. Unbelievable!!!

wondered around with friends and ended up here for lunch. soba combo is great, for 20some you get rice and soba noodles. everything was flavorful and well made. place was tiny but cute and well decorated, just go early to skip the line.
ordered tempura as well and it was crispy and light.
only thing is I ended up not feeling too well after lunch, felt a bit nauseous that I sometimes get from dashi stock at certain places, not sure why but it could be just me.

How quickly things can go from pacific (fresh catches) to horrific?
Let me preface this all by saying we are native manhattanites as well as frequent and experienced sushi eaters.
We sat at the sushi bar and immediately were scolded by a cranky sushi chef for arranging our chopsticks, soy sauce, and personal affects in a way that was deemed offensive (simply because it was not in his order) by the scowling chef. Mega awkward… But we stayed anyway…
I ordered a «natto» roll, fully aware that it is a fermented soybean, generally rejected by the CAUCasian palate. I was quickly reviled for this. Wielding his giant knife, the malevolent Jason Vorhees of sushi chefs turned to his compadres and laughed the most evil of laughs, exclaiming «Natto! Natto!!» As if to say, «this stupid girl has no idea what’s coming next.»
…at this point I should have just said «keep the rolls» and rollllllllllled out… But we stayed…
What came next was a tuna roll full of tendons (not cool…), fresh rolls stuffed sadistically with wasabi (my mom thought he was trying to kill her), a slew of dirty looks, side glances, and plates flung in our direction with a heaping side of disdain, and many suspicious laughs as he prepared orders.
We’re not stupid and we won’t be coming back.
Thank all of the Gods that I didn’t order Omakase (chefs choice) and put my fate in his hands.

I’m surprised by all the positive reviews because I was pretty disappointed by my meal here. Got the chirashi for lunch and I found most of the fish was not very fresh, generally tasting quite fishy. The only fish slices I could finish were the salmon and mackerel. I did enjoy the tamago though. My friend also got a soba set and noted that the soba tasted a bit funky. All in all, reasonably priced Japanese food, but unfortunately the price reflects the lowered quality because the food isn’t quite as fresh. I was very unimpressed and would much preferred to have gone to any of the other Japanese restaurants in the area.

I spent quite a long time looking for a good sushi bar in the East Village. Sure, if you search for «best sushi» you’ll find lots of places, but most of them require a reservation well in advance and will cost you $ 100+ per person. I just wanted a casual place with good sushi without paying a fortune. If that’s what you’re looking for then go to Hasaki.
We arrived around 7 pm and the place was busy but not completely full, so we managed to get a table for two immediately and were promptly welcomed by our waiter.
We ordered the sushi and sashimi combination for two, which included the basics (shrimp, salmon, yellow tail, etc.). It also included toro and eel (two of my favorites). My friend ordered extra snow crab sushi, while I ordered the most important piece: uni. I have to say, the uni was perfect! It was easily the best part of the meal.

Easily the best lunch deal in the EV by far.
Hasaki is my favorite regular sushi spot in the EV because it has the freshest, high quality fish without breaking the bank. It’s a classy place that even when packed with patrons feels zen-​like.
I highly recommend coming for lunch as it’s quite a steal! The cha-​soba set with chirashi is what I usually order ($ 18). But the afternoon plate and flower garden platter is also very good.
The tamago here is divine. The service is sharp and attentive. It’s high quality in every way, and a great place for dates or to bring out-​of-​town guests.

Excellent Omakase selection by Sushi chef. I really enjoyed the tuna maki. The fish was super fresh. The only thing not amazing was the miso soup, too salty. Get the salad instead, the ginger dressing is very good.

I haven’t done nearly enough justice to the little row of Japanese restaurants near my home. I had a serious hankering for Japanese over the weekend, and I’m here to report back.
This location is tiny and adorable. It’s super quiet, with a dignified and calm air that is rather atypical for a place this close to St. Marks. It’s easy to miss, since it’s submerged at the half-​basement level. It’s right next to 212 Hisae’s.
The cha-​soba/​chirashi (or salmon) bowls are amazing, and such a good deal for lunch/​weekends. $ 18 for a full bowl of soba in pleasantly umami-​flavored clear broth, plus a small bowl of sushi rice with fresh fish? Please and please! I would probably give them a solid 4.5, and the price definitely tipped my meal into the 5-​star range.
We also had the matcha and black sesame ice creams, both of which were pleasantly flavored. I actually like Japanese green tea quite a bit, but the sesame flavor was so rich and bold I have to say that turned out to be my favorite.
A really stellar deal for the price point. I tried to go back yesterday but it unfortunately was closed at 4 p.m. on a Monday. :|

The BF and I came on a weekday for lunch here and were impressed. Plenty of seating available ~12:30pm, good service, food was even better.
1) Afternoon Plate — fried vegetable tempura, sushi (6 pc tuna roll, w/​sashimi on the side), grilled salmon, and miso soup. $ 18. Everything tasted fresh and great. Would get this again.
2) Chirashi — sliced fish on rice w/​side of soba. The BF liked this.
Don’t waste your time at Sharaku on the same block. Spend more and come here instead for signicantly better food.

Beautiful little basement sushi joint in the East Village; I actually walked right past it before I even realized it was there. While it’s a little pricey compared to the other cheap izakayas and sushi bars in the St. Marks area, Hasaki definitely delivers.
I came in for lunch and tried the Chirashi /​Cha-​soba set ($ 18), which came with a beautiful mini chirashi bowl, salad, pickles, and your choice of hot or cold green tea soba noodles. If you’re like me and always feel compelled to photograph everything you eat, don’t worry; Hasaki’s presentation is gorgeous and totally instaworthy (and now I hate myself for using that word).
The sashimi was extremely fresh and melted in my mouth, and was perfectly complemented by their fresh wasabi root (not horseradish!), pickled ginger (which was very light and not pungent at all), and sushi rice. The set came with a mountain of soba noodles (I chose cold), which were also very refreshing. Despite their bright green color they don’t really taste like green tea, but were delicious all the same.
With complementary hot green tea at the end, Hasaki was definitely a welcome reprieve. It’s serene in the basement and perfect for dropping out of the hustle of the city for a relaxing and delicious lunch.

I came here for their Twilight Dinner Prix Fixe, which is available until 6 PM. They open at 5:30 and you really have 30 minutes to order it, which I thought was silly. They should extend the time to 6:30 or 7 PM. I’ve been to another Japanese establishment with a similar early dinner special and it goes on until 7 PM. This place is in a semi basement with plain wooden décor, very casual spot.
The set comes with Miso Soup, Salad, Sashimi or Sushi, Tempura, Grilled Fish and Dessert for ($ 22). The miso soup was different from other miso soup I’ve had. It was a red color. Not an expert with miso soup, but I prefer the regular clear color one. The salad had a unique dressing. Not the dressing you usually get at other places. But I prefer the regular dressing.
We ordered the sashimi set and the sushi set. The sashimi cuts were on the thin side. You get like a total of 7 pieces of salmon, tuna, and yellowtail. For the sushi you get 3 pieces of sushi, the same 3 types of fish mentioned above and a tuna roll. Loved the tempura of vegetables and shrimp that you dip into the sauce that they give it. The grilled fish was salmon. Plus you get 3 side dishes too, that’s not mentioned in the set description. So it’s a lot of food and worth the price you’re paying. I was hoping for ice cream for dessert, but it was just fruits.

Tokuju Chirashi ($ 48) — wonderful!
— the variety of freshest fish with its different textures were terrific. Uni was sweet and melted in my mouth. Ikura bursted out the juice from the salty eggs were tasty. Three spiced Chu-​Toro melted in my mouth. Fatty yellowtail (Buri) were buttery, rich flavor and was sumptuous mouth-​feel. The dark sweet pickles topping that was between the bed of rice gave soft sweetness to the toppings (sashimi) and rice. That harmony was irresistible. I was asked by my waiter after I finish my medium size sweet shrimp that I would like to have my shrimp head fried or not. That unexpected surprise gave a big smile.
Simply placed fried shrimp head was on a Japanese paper with a plate. A slice of lemon that came with was artistically created and my freshly fried shrimp was delicious with some coarse salt.
Sansho (Sichuan numbing pepper) was offered to add to Aka-​miso (red miso) soup was my first. My Japanese waiter said working here gave many chances to try new things. The pepper slightly elevated the flavor of the soup. If you didn’t get the pepper, do ask for it.

Hasaki is one of my favorite sushi spots in the city. However, their concern for their customers is a bit underwhelming, as the other night I almost swallowed a piece of wire about an inch long that somehow got inside my scallop roll. At first I thought it was a bone, but when I finally coughed it up, it was a piece of black metal wire.
The management was so mortified at this dangerous slip-​up, they gave me the entire roll on the house. That’s sarcastic. If one of your employees accidentally lets a piece of metal get in your food, I think it warrants a bit more than a free $ 6 roll.
I also emailed their website and so far no response. Very upset as it used to be our favorite place.

Dinner on Japanese row oh where oh where do we go? Hasaki merrily we go. This quaint restaurant in the East Village with wood interior to lend the air of entering a world of tami mats and shoji screens.
The hot towel to clean. The service polite and quick. The food sushi & sashimi platter was good. Not too much rice and enough fish on top. The Chirashi bowl had a good selection of fish and usual assortment that comes with it.
Hasaki lends itself to the neighbor showcasing quality sushi.
