Located adjacent to FedEx and behind the U.S. Post Office, Hakata is a good lunch spot close to Kitsap Mall - a nice break after a day of shopping with friends. I've dined on sushi alone and with friends and find that it is much more enjoyable with others -- it is a social meal unlike others.
Stepping into Hakata, one is transported into a Japanese environment immediately complete with Japanese hosts. The menu, although translated into English is entirely Japanese with no diversion to other Asian cultures as many sushi restaurants can do. From teriyaki to bento boxes to Miso soup to tempura --- all Japanese dishes are available at Hakata.
For comparison sake, I decided to order the same items I had at another sushi restaurant just a few days prior and see if there was much difference.
The Miso soups were quite comparable. However, I must say, Hakata has probably some of THE best sushi I've ever had the pleasure of eating. As I've said before, sushi is about the fish - the fresher the better and I could tell when the platter arrived that it was of the finest quality.
The service at Hakata was outstanding. We were never left waiting for anything and the staff was extremely friendly.
I look forward to returning at a time when I can sit at the sushi bar and chat with other patrons and view the expertise of the sushi chef - this is the most fun of eating sushi - watching the preparation for it is an art form in itself.
I highly recommend and will definitely be returning.
