Hayato Los Angeles Reviews from The Last Year
"This particular catch was killed just outside of Tokyo
"This particular catch was killed just outside of Tokyo yesterday..." "This ingredient isn't available in North America..." "Partial dehydration gives this [salted, preserved roe] the texture of cheese, so expect it to crumble in your mouth" So many descriptions to entice the imagination! Dining at Hayato was truly an exceptional culinary journey. Having dined last summer at two of Barcelona's Michelin 3-star restaurants (Abac and Cocina Hermanos Torres), I've been curious since last Fall to try one of L.A.'s highest rated Michelin offerings. Very lucky to finally land a last-minute reservation at Hayato. The restaurant itself is simply and elegantly decorated, previewing the simple but extremely elegant meal you are about to enjoy. The greeting was very warm and courteous, in line with what you might expect from a high-end Japanese setting. Now onto the food. Having enjoyed a few Michelin 2 and 3-star restaurants now, mostly across Spain and Italy, though some in London and the UK, I've noticed a common quality in a handful of the best dishes prepared at these places. It's what I can best describe as the "knife's edge." It's this point in the dining experience where I've come to recognize that the very delicate collection of flavors in a special dish is both at its peak and hovers precariously on a razor-fine, knife's edge: only the most miniscule deviations in spice or preparation would topple it from this hard-won summit. It's the moment that tells me that I'm in the presence of a master chef who has worked tirelessly at the craft to reach this culmination. I experienced this moment on more than a few of the Hayato courses. A recurring thought I had throughout the meal: "I've eaten X before, but it's never tasted like this..." That held true for the bamboo shoots, crab, turnips, etc, ingredients very common in various Asian cuisines, but never as vibrantly, authentically, and brilliantly presented as at Hayato. Again, a testament to the mastery of the head chef and his uber-talented staff. To wrap up, here is a list of the courses (with photos when possible): 1. Seared Kinmedai, Tosa Zu Jelly 2. Shirauo and Sweet Potato Tempura 3. Hokkaido Surf Clam "Nuta Ae" 4. Live California Spot Prawn, Fresh Bamboo 5. Shinogi: Aji Bo-Zushi 6. Owan: Dungeness Crab Shinjo 7. Otsukuri: Japanese Sea Bream, Akagai 8. Steamed Abalone with Liver Sauce 9. Charcoal Grilled Kinki, Roasted Onion 10. Fried Cuttlefish, Fresh Ginko Nuts 11. Seared Duck Breast, Tokyo Turnip 12. Mizore Nabe: Ebi Shinjo, Shiitake, Komatsuna 13. Chinmi: Grilled Karasumi 14. Black Throat Sea Perch Rice Pot 15. Mizu Mono: Asian Pear with Sake Jelly My one and only regret is my stomach wasn't large enough for more than two servings of the penultimate rice pot course. After dining at Hayato, I will never view Japanese cooking the same way. Masterpiece art can do that sometimes: shift and heighten one's perspective to bring new life and new possibilities into what seemed like a well-trodden space. For me, Michelin multi-starred restaurants have been expanded beyond molecular gastronomy, foams, liquid nitrogen and cryo-preparations, etc.; I have learned to deeply appreciate the excellence in a very small handful of carefully selected ingredients, optimally prepared and simply presented for maximum flavor. In some ways, one might argue this approach is quintessentially Japanese. If you are reading this Hayato-sama, thank you again for the opportunity to dine on a last minute, same-day reservation at your wondrous establishment. I hope that I am fortunate enough to do so again in the future. Arigatou gozaimasu! (deeply bowing)
Took me months to get this reservation The chef's
Took me months to get this reservation The chef's meticulous craftsmanship shines through in each carefully curated course, presenting a culinary journey that is both enchanting and unforgettable. From the first delicate bite to the final satisfying morsel, every course is a revelation of flavors and textures. The ambiance at Hayato is a perfect blend of simplicity and sophistication. The intimate setting creates an atmosphere of tranquility, allowing diners to fully immerse themselves in the culinary journey unfolding before them. It's a serene escape from the bustling city life. Probably one of the best kaiseki japanese restaurants. 10/10 would come again
How this establishment any lower than a 5* review here, is
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, one day.... I got the lucky email saying that I was selected for a reservation. Seriously, I should have gotten some lottery tickets as well. Parking - there's a few 1 hour parking spaces outside, which we parked at. No validation, or walking to the structure (even if you're there it's not $$ or that far of a walk) but there's something about parking right outside the restaurant Chef Brandon and his amazing staff made us feel welcome from the time they opened the door, until you leave for the evening. To be honest, I did not know what our menu was. I knew that I just had to experience Chef Brandon's creations. Every dish was well prepared, the menu is meticulously chosen, every part of each is intentional. Chef Brandon starts telling you stories (also, drinking doesn't start until AFTER the soup), and we find out that their day starts around 10am to feed us for dinner. There's a lot of prep for all the courses. I won't spoil the menu here. I had an interview the next day, totally worth it. AND I'm still believing that Hayato was my good luck charm. :) NGL, I'm still sad that I didn't get to try one of their famous bento boxes.
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?!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Tune into NBC News - Top Story Tonight 7:40p ET
Let’s go. Get more people placing bids!
I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
