About Hayakawa
Around sixteen courses of nigiri and small dishes are served across a pale wooden counter by the chef-owner himself, whom reviewers describe as entertaining, warm and quick to help with photos. Ikura rice bowls, uni, scallop, eel in broth and a closing matcha dessert fill guest photos, and the paid uni supplement is the add-on regulars push. An in-house sommelier builds wine and sake pairings that many rate as highly as the fish, and touches such as hot oshibori towels and bowl-lifting etiquette lend the meal a Japanese formality. It holds a Michelin star for 2025. Seatings run Wednesday to Saturday from six, reservations through Resy are essential, and garage parking in the building is validated. The price is high; one experienced omakase diner felt sixteen courses underdelivered for the cost, while most leave full and call it the best omakase in Atlanta.
