Hayato Los Angeles Reviews

One of the most difficult reservations in Los Angeles as of this writing, the subtle flavors and the effort to source unique variations on seafood far exceed even most of their fine dining competitors. The kinmedai is an excellent example-- for this
So much to say here- Hayato is nearly impossible to book
So much to say here- Hayato is nearly impossible to book and they charge a lot (compared to most other highly-rated places) so my expectations were very high. My meal exceeded even those expectations. Every dish was great and unique. If you're

First Michelin (2) star restaurant I've ever been to and I think I absolutely picked right. The quality of the ingredients and Brandon's expertise as a chef speak for themselves, you can google some real food critics if you want to know abo

Impeccable service and detail, along with an intimate dining experience. Went on a Sunday evening - lucked into reservations. Was sat immediately and served drinks. Unfortunately I was under the weather a little, so had to take it easy with the al
I am writing this review after my second time eating here
I am writing this review after my second time eating here and also having eaten their bento boxes back when COVID was still rampant. I've tried the winter and spring menu for kaiseki. I have to stress that this is not a sushi omakase restaurant,
Amazing and unforgettable experience.
One of not the most difficult reservations to get in LA. I'm living proof that it's possible if you don't give up and are persistent! Take advantage of the waitlist. Reservations are released on the 1st of every month at 10A. Seating
THE BEST KAISEKI I have had outside of Japan.
The food is thoughtful, original, truly inspired. The service is extraordinary. There are only seven (7) seats, and one very relaxed sitting per night -- Chef Hayato takes his time, including taking the time to decide where each diner should sit.

If you told me I'd have to drive to LA from OC, sit in a small restaurant with 5 strangers for 3.5 hours, and pay over $400, I would have rolled my eyes... but I did and it was a totally enjoyable experience! The food is so good. If you like bo
favorite restaurant in LA.
Everything is good. Just sit down, order multiple sake bottles, and enjoy the adventure.
08/04/24 - Amazing kaiseki dinner at @hayatorestaurant.
Reservations were gone within 30 seconds and was only able to get due to the wait-list. Thank you @brandon_hayato_go for an amazing dinner experience. Service was superb and very personal. The space was very nice although could use some more cooling

Reservations here are no joke - usually sells out less than a minute or almost instantly depending on the day you book. After all, it's only 1 seating per night for 7 counter seats, 5 days a week, so at most 140 people score seats per month. A good a

How this establishment any lower than a 5* review here, is besides me. Getting the reservation is the HARDEST part, given that there's only 7 seats per day. I have put myself on the waitlist and month after month not getting a reservation. However,
Can't get a reservation through their system.
All seats were sold out in 5 minutes. Yet, people are selling the reservations on the web. Go figure?!

Late review.
Hayato outshines any Japanese establishment in the US by a mile. The authenticity is unmistakable, and the experience comes a close second only to dining in mainland Japan. In my opinion, there's one thing that often stumps Japanese restaurants like
This is my favorite place in town.
It's the best Japanese cuisine I've ever had in my life. The service is warm and wonderful. Parking is nice and the vibe of the district is fantastic!

Hayato is no doubt the hardest reservation to get in town and for good reason: it was the most exceptional meal I've ever had in LA in many years. I'll list a few reasons why you should keep trying each month to secure a spot (though I'm sure it wo

Impeccable service, amazing sake and champagne, extraordinary dish after dish. Nothing stands between you and what the chef imagines except the few seconds that it takes between his hands and your plate at the counter.

Connect with users posting reservations for Hayato Los Angeles
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Hayato Los Angeles. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hayato Los Angeles at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hayato Los Angeles page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Hayato Los Angeles to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hayato Los Angeles!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
