| - I have treated myself to lunch at Hasaki at least a dozen times since I've been working uptown. It's reliable, tasty, filling, and affordable. The counter staff and servers are always kind and pleasant to interact with. Even better (for me) is that many of my friends and coworkers frequent Hasaki, so it's always filled with friendly faces.
I've tried a handful of things on the menu, but I always seem to come back to the hibachi shrimp and broccoli. I swap out the fried rice for brown rice to keep my meal gluten free, and once it arrives I cover the whole plate in shrimp sauce. My rice, my protein, my broccoli, my carrots -- everything is better with shrimp sauce.
I can't speak to the sushi. In fact, I'm not sure that many people can. Over all of my visits to Hasaki, I could count on one hand the amount of times I've seen sushi in the dining room.
Hasaki is always steady, but depending on the day, it can really get slammed around lunchtime. If you're in a rush, call ahead. Sometimes even ordering take-out can take awhile, so hedge your bets if you're on a tight schedule. I can say, though, that even when this spot is overflowing with people, you're served with a smile. It's consistently a positive experience.
