I really enjoyed the lunch menu sets (Chirashi set) for its value for money and quality. It is quite impressive to have an appetizer, chawamushi, choice of hot or cold soba and dessert alongside a chirashi bowl with fresh fish (special mention to the salmon) all under 600. Their tempura here is also really good! the batter wasn't too thick or heavy on the stomach. if you are looking for value for money, yet delicious Japanese food you should definitely go here. Hidden secret of the little Tokyo area. Will definitely go back!

We went here as advised by a friend of mine. This place was a gem. Its location is a bit hidden so there are a few people here. Also there are rooms inside for added privacy and the rooms were great.The staffs were very helpful. They assisted us in choosing what to eat and they are very attentive. We also haven't waited for too long for the food.When the food came, the serving was generous even for their solo meals. We went there during lunch so they have set meals that include steamed egg (tastes like soft penoy and salty taho), soba which is enough for a meal in itself, some pickles, rice and dessert (ice cream, coffee jelly or fruits). We also ordered kanifornia maki, their own version of the cali maki. It was good but there is nothing so special about it. The karaage, yakiniku and katsudon also tasted great. You can compare the quality of the food with the best Japanese restaurants out there.Overall, the place and the customer service was excellent. For the food, I've had better but in terms of the value for money, it was great.

Took a client here once and he was from Japan. He was impressed with the place and said it feels like home. This is a gem hidden inside herald suites. Food is great, Sushi is fresh and they cook the yakitori well :)

Authentic Japanese Food. I love this restaurant. It's one of the few that actually brings in the taste and vibe of Japan. I recommend the Ebi Gyoza, Sukiyaki, Maki and their Takoyaki like pie.

Authentic Japanese food at very affordable prices. I really can't believe how cheap this place is. Located at Herald Suites, this resto offers set meals with soup, appetizer, noodles, main dish and dessert at a very low price. This is Makati's best kept secret.

When you want the best and freshest sashimi HATSU HANA TEI is the place to be! The vibe, chef and even those who eat here are purely so Japanese! There areTatami rooms for small & big groups! Like my son who spent his 17th bday here! Beware! Make reservations during Thursday! Yes Thursday! As this is the "gimik" day of Japanese people! Make sure to order your hot sake! :)

Hana Hatsu-Tei is right in front of Little Tokyo. It's diners consist of expat Japanese business men. It's quiet, perfect for a meeting or a date. They have a good sashimi selections try their rainbow maki, and spicy salmon salad. Also, their draft beer is excellent.

It was quite a surprise, I thought that we'll be dining somewhere in Little Tokyo, since we parked across the place. But nope, we headed towards Herald Suites instead. Wow, something new! At the 2nd Floor of Herald Suites, its where Hatsu Hana Tei is located. As we entered we are quickly assisted. They got two 2 dining areas: The open dining area, which includes the sushi bar and their private tatami rooms. Its my first time to dine at this Japanese room. It has its own air conditioning, tv and a dining table. And to signal for assistance, there's a bell at the end of the table and a buzzer (modern one) at another end. The server is attentive. Tea is served whilw waiting for our orders. We had:IChirashi Sushi Set (served with soba (hot or cold), custard egg/ chawan mushi, Oshinko / pickled radish, miso soup, flavored tofu, and Dessert). That's a lot, the main dish is even more enticing. The Chirashi has rice topped with different kinds of raw fish and other seafood. Shrimp amd Uni are familiar to me, the rest.... hmmmm its good though I don't know what it is😍 for dessert we chose Coffee Jelly, served with vanilla ice cream. Yum! Maguro Uni Don, (served with custard efg, oshinko, miso soup, flavored tofu and dessert.. no soba for this one). Served with rice topped by Uni / sea Urchin(half of it) and Maguro/ Tuna.Verdict:Food- fresh! And you get the quality of food that you pay for. Pricing is reasonable. I love the custard egg.. its like taho with savory taste. The chirashi is superb! Location- valuewise, its like Kikufuji.. but less hustle & bustle. More private and you'll enjoy dining. Service- as I said, they got attentive servers. Just a buzz or bell, they'll be of service.

Hatsu Hana Tei has the biggest servings in the Little Tokyo area. You also get the option to get a reservation, something that is sadly lacking in other Japanese restaurants in the area. Unfortunately, it's good ambiance and great accessibility comes at a higher than regular price. Definitely a keeper during special occassions though.Food 9/10Ambiance 9/10Price 7/10Service 9/10Wait time to be seated: 0 (get a reservation!)Wait time for food: less than 10 minutesParking: in front of hotel only
