Earlier this week, Michael Klein from the Philadelphia Inquire’s Let’s Eat section, wrote a fantastic review of Ambler’s newest restaurant Sushi Hatsu and its owner/chef Harrison Kim. Klein writes:
Harrison Kim is underselling his slick, energetic BYOB in downtown Ambler with a name like Sushi Hatsu, which belies the true depths of the menu. It’s in part of the former Ambler Cabaret at 51 E. Butler Ave.
Not to sell the sushi short. The chirashi, for example, starts with toro. In addition to dumplings, and skewers, he and crew turn out modest-priced Japanese-inspired kitchen dishes such as duck confit shumai, Patagonian toothfish (as in, Chilean sea bass), Snake River kobe beef tataki with foie gras and black truffle, PEI miso mussels, and short-rib empanada. Figure on $35 a head.
