Los Angeles’ Koreatown neighborhood is known for Korean food but did you know about Hato Sushi, my new favorite LA sushi spot? You can get a quality nigiri (of so much variety) sushi experience here for $80, and you have to also check out their other selections!
Each dish is made fresh once ordered and it really does feel like a journey for the tastebuds here @hatosushi_la. Do try their Red Miso Eggplant as an appetizer and also be sure to order their comforting Hato Rice in Hot Stone. Finally, if you’re like me, dessert always needs to happen and here, we had the perfect not-too-sweet, hot & cold treat☺️

The daily special was very fresh and a fish i havent tried before, would get again. The Hato roll is a MUST TRY, the truffle sauce on the side is amazing. The cherry Blossom roll had amazing flavor! The chicken karaage is well seasoned, juicy, and crispy, and garnished with a blistered shishito pepper. The Toro Garlic Toast had incredible presentation with tiny gold leaf on caviar, had great fatty tuna and seasoned to perfection with garlic. The miso soup is flavorful and also a must try. Every garnish choice was very favorable too. This is my new...
Read moreThis hole-in-the-wall Japanese restaurant has some of the BEST sushi I've ever had. It's a quaint setting inside, but Hato near Koreatown LA is serving up QUALITY sushi and fun Japanese fusion dishes.
Here's everything you should try: Toro garlic toast, this is like spicy tuna crispy rice but make it GLORIFIED with caviar and gold flakes on top. 8-piece premium sushi set that comes with miso soup made from fish bone. Each piece of fish was perfectly dressed and melts in your mouth. If you're in the mood for cooked items, try the Hato rice in hot stone, this was absolutely delectable with two HUGE chunks of black snapper and so umami~
Thanks for...
