One of the best Japanese restaurants I’ve been to in USA. Excellent quality ingredients and wonderful flavor combinations. Everything was so good I only got a photo of this amazing tuna nigiri. Will come back!

A hidden gem for sushi foodies. This restaurant is tucked away like a Carmichael pearl waiting to be discovered. I’d liken Hito Yatai as a place for those who crave not just food, but an experience. After more than five visits, including an omakase, it’s clear this is not your typical takeout sushi joint—this is a place for craftsmanship. Take the “Mini Don,” for example: a bowl of delicate textures and flavors where the briny pop of ikura and the creamy richness of uni come together like a fleeting indulgence. Each bite feels luxurious, leaving you wishing it lingered just a bit longer. The iwashi nigiri, with its unctuous sardine and velvety oiliness, is transformed into something truly decadent. I’ve had the suzuki (sea bass), hirame (flounder), aged chutoro, and blue fin tuna nigiri—lots of varied offerings for fish. For those less inclined toward raw fish, the “Osaka-style” okonomiyaki, a hearty cabbage pancake, is comforting and savory. From tempura to sashimi, I’ve enjoyed the thoughtfulness of my meals at Hito Yatai. Even the presentation feels elevated. The assortment of physical plates feel like a kaleidoscope of ceramic and glass styles—very artful. Speaking of tempura, the chrysanthemum tempura deserves its own applause: light and airy, yet a crunch that gives way to a floral clover-like flavor. It’s served with a dashi dipping sauce (though I personally prefer a splash of soy for a stronger kick). One of the restaurant’s greatest charms for me has been the unprinted menu—conversations, not paper, guide your choices. I’ve spoken about my cravings with Chef Cam who will craft something from the stock of fish and offerings. This approach fosters a sense of trust and anticipation—every visit feels personal and thoughtfully tailored. While this is not the place for those seeking volume-focused sushi (e.g., AYCE), every bite reflects artistry and quality that enthusiasts will appreciate. The portions invite you to savor the extraordinary flavors. The staff are dedicated to authenticity and freshness. If you’re a foodie who finds joy in the subtleties of higher-quality sushi and a curated dining experience, I recommend visiting Hito Yatai.

This restaurant seems to care a lot about the food. Very fresh fish. Their specials even indicate if certain fish are in season or have recently arrived to the store. A must try if you're looking for high quality sushi/sashimi.
