“It’s not a dinner. It’s an Experience.”

Atlanta's Traditional Japanese Sushiya

Hayakawa is an intimate and traditional sushiya in the mold of the finest sushi shops in Japan. Newly located in West Midtown Atlanta, our serenely designed space allows for guests to have a truly unique experience. Chef Atsushi Hayakawa curates the finest fish selection in Atlanta, sourcing from Tokyo's Toyosu market and all over the globe. A staple of Atlanta since 2008, we invite you to join us for an experience rarely found outside of Japan.

“This is truly one of the most incredible eating experiences the city of Atlanta and the US has to offer. Chef Hayakawa and his staff have mastered serving a delicious upscale dining experience while at the same time making you feel at home. The food is fantastic and having the chef in front of you to talk you through every plate makes it that much more special.”
