Hayatobi - San Gabriel

One of my new favorite places for sushi. Quality sushi for not a bad price. Would highly recommend if you like fresh fish!

Hayatobi sushi! I always pass by it and i never would have thought to try it till now! Found this place spontaneously while driving by looking for a place to have dinner and it was amazing! The food was so good! I never finish my meals anywhere I go but the rolls and the food here are nothing short of amazing! The service is great they are very friendly and attentive and every single person there greets you with a warm welcome and say goodbye when you leave. And the decor inside is so beautiful will definitely go back again! Oh and They have a small parking lot we went on a weekday when it wasn't so busy after 7 pm so we had no issues.

Hayatobi Sushi is located on Rosemead Blvd. It's a standalone restaurant with it's own parking lot. The lot is relatively small, and parking can be challenging on a busy day. The restaurant itself seems to be on the larger side with plenty of tables that can accommodate a variety of groups. Servers were friendly. Chirashi 3/5 Looked prettier than it tasted. Fish was clean, but each piece was so small. They were folded to look bigger than it was. Rice was a little mushy. Crispy rice 3/5 Tuna didn't really have much flavor. Hard to go wrong with this dish. Nothing too standout or disappointing. Yellowtail scallion handroll 4/5 This was probably the best part of my meal. Fish was fresh and the seaweed was crispy. My only gripe is that all the fish was at the top and I was left with all the rice after the first bite. Overall, not sure I would come back. I would say there are better options in the area but decent sushi for the area.

Honestly ever since I stumbled upon this place it's been my go to sushi place! All the cuts of fish are extremely high quality, and the pricing is just really competitive for what you get. I've traveled Japan extensively, and there are some serious authentic dishes here which are hard to find in the SGV. I challenge anyone to find a better Chirashi for the price. Highly recommend you give Hayatobi a shot won't be disappointed it's been a favorite for all those I've introduced so far.

This is one of my favorite restaurant! The food is so delicious! I love their sashimi and curry! And I really enjoy the red bean ice cream They provide very good service!
