Hasu Japanese Izakaya & Grill

This is a higher-end take on Japanese izakaya food. If you live skewers, especially yakitori, you will be happy here. The drinks are interesting and there's a lot of choices. Expect to spend about $50 to $60 per person, which is a good value, but more if you drink.

Food and service

It’s a Japanese izakaya with a sprawling menu of skewers, the kind of place where you can order almost everything on a whim. We did, and the results were mixed. The vegetables—particularly the blistered cherry tomatoes and meaty king oyster mushrooms—were standouts, handled with care and precision. The house specialty, chicken heart artery, was perfectly chewy, deeply seasoned, and easily the most memorable bite of the night.

The duck and chicken thigh skewers, however, fell short of expectation—pleasant enough, but lacking the juicy snap that makes yakitori sing. Among the small plates, the mirugai and tako-wasa came buried under too much garnish, tipping the balance away from the seafood itself.

The food wasn’t bad at all — you can tell they use quality ingredients and put real care into their dishes. But somehow, the seasoning felt a little off for my personal taste. Everything looked great and was well-prepared, but the flavors didn’t quite come together for me, especially considering the price.
That said, the staff were incredibly kind and attentive, and the restaurant had a very pleasant, cozy atmosphere.

The food was super fresh and tasted fantastic! I love the small portions so you can try multiple things. Great service. Everyone was super nice!

OT we had dinner there last Saturday. This a solid Izakaya style restaurant. Unfortunately we were seated next to the loudest group of people. Fortunately, the food and service overcame the background noise. Cheers! Mario

Great food and great service. We got our appetizers pretty quick and our food followed shortly. The staff checked in on us from time to time to see if we needed anything. Food tasted fresh and had great flavor.

Some skewers are good, some are meh, overall tiny portion size and over priced. Spent 70$ and not full at all lol.

Authentic yakitori and friendly staff! Flavorful yakitori and the matcha cake was very good! Presentation was perfect with every plate that came out. Arigato gozaimasu for a great authentic yakitori experience!

First time guest at hasu. Full sampling of menu. Great experience and wonderful new tastes. Memorable night. Quail eggs were a treat.

Love everything here. Always great service and food. My go to place for izakaya. Good variety of food. The chicken noodle is always good to end the meal

Not bad but expensive

overall first visit - dining area and service was good / yakitori one of the chicken type was salty, assorted pickles was good and plates nicely - yaki onigiri was nothing fancy i could do better at home and large size - good experience maybe u will like - enough for me
