The Village branch of this Beijing favorite features the same classic menu as its older sibling, with a few new additions. Enter through a waterfall glass door to two sushi bars and an outdoor terrace. Inspired by an underwater theme, the soothing motifs will have you feeling right at home.

Everything you love about the original Hatsune, featuring the same menu with all original classics along with new delectable additions and a remarkable new design. Already a legend in Beijing renowned for its fresh California style Japanese sushi rolls and high-quality service, the new Hatsune is an instant sensation with its innovative and impressive décor. Featuring a waterfall glass door entrance, two sushi bars, a ceiling-high bar with movable ladders, colorful traditional Japanese komono prints along the walls and a centrally located outdoor terrace, the new Hatsune was inspired by underwater, aquatic themes evident throughout the restaurant. Located right in the heart of Sanlitun, a destination with history, Hatsune is the newest hot-spot bringing a high-end fusion of dining and drinking to Beijing's restaurant scene.

Had lunch there today. Foods great, but service not so great. Typical problem for famous restaurant in China, once they are famous and many customers, service become a problem. Waitress don't pay much attention anymore to customer satisfaction. I ordered sushi roll, have to wait half hour, is that long making a sushi roll ? They actually forget my order.

They have excellent rolls, sushi and different kind of soups. The staff is attentive and nice... I am disappointed about their Sashimi, not fresh enough in my opinion.

I always came here if craving for japanese food. Food is always good, nice place and great location

Food is great as always! But yeah, I have to agree with the uncool comment about the absence of a toilet. But for the food, I would come back again and again. I would just unload before I reload, if you know what I mean.

Consistently excellent - you know you will get a great meal and service when you go to Hatsune...and they make a great Lychee cocktail!

Whenever I want Japanese, the first thing that comes to mind is Hatsune. The sashimi is always fresh, the Mot-orolla (not sure how they spell it) Roll always and consistently hits the spot. Many restaurants around town have tried imitating Hatsune's rolls, and most have not succeeded. As a native Californian, I think the proper use of avocados and crabmeat in their rolls is what creates that special flavor. What makes it even more appealing is that prices are also very reasonable for Japanese cuisine.

great service - i got a free appetizer (a tomato?) and free desert (some bad tasting coffee mousse) with my dinner (1 roll). really liked the black widow roll, and the decor of course was fabulous. pretty attentive service, check came quickly and they warned me ahead of time that the food would take awhile to get there.
also, a hint based on previous experience at the guanghua hatsune -
if you don't need to have a nice, slow romantic dinner you can finagle your way in without a reservation. just tell the waitreses that you'll eat fast and be out of there in an hour or so, before they run out of space for reservations. 3/4 times i did that last year, i got in and actually the restaurant was still not full when i left (also helps if you come early) and there wasn't that much pressure to eat fast.

Every time I go to Hatsune I feel as if there is a new type of roll on the menu. I've always had to make a reservation when trying to eat there, but a 20 second phone call to ensure a table goes a long way to enjoying a great meal.

Alan Wong is a genius. It is time for the IPO and the global expansion. I want some of this action.
This is his best yet. Hatsune moved into an even more upmarket environment. The architecture is exceptionally well done, with incredible attention to detail. It just feels alive.
The food is identical to the old location, and many a familiar staff member moved too. I had dined at the Guanghua Lu store a week or so ago, and while I loved that place, I doubt I am going back there.
Parking in the basement is a breeze. Finding the front door the first time is a challenge since he has no sign (it is next to element fresh), and once you find the door, the usual puzzle of how to open it awaits you. I am told they had to make a change to the original puzzle since no one could figure it out.

Negative comment coming!!!!!!!! I t is 2009 Beijing people, let's stop the china ghetto mentality of not providing bathrooms
1.)there are no bathrooms, you cannot charge these prices for bathrooms that are outside!!! you cannot, not even in China. All other businesses like element fresh and blue frog have lovely bathrooms.
halve the menu prices at this location and I will come back
2.) there were no fapioas May 19, 2009, which means this place is probably not paying tax or does not have all of its licenture yet (another hint is the lack of a sign outside)
food is great, please go to another location of haiku or hatsune for these prices so you can go to the restroom

This sequel of Hatsune restaurants in Beijing definitely tops the last one with the location and the whole ambiance of this new one. High Floor to ceiling windows make this a great place for business dinners to all sorts of celebrations. I personally think the quality of the food here is better than the previous but you'll be the judge.

Great food, venue and location but what kind of restaurant does not have toilet facilities for their guests? Sending your guests outside to a public bathroom is not acceptable. Especially when all the other restaurants in the building (peppes, blue frog, element fresh -which are not as fancy as hatsune aims to be) have managed to install them. Very, very disappointing. Not worthy of a professional restaurateur like Alan Wong.

Outside bathroom is a bummer, but design is impeccable along with same great Hatsune menu. Yum.

Lovely place and great food. Only downside is there is no bathroom.

only in second day of operation this place has sliced up some nice sushi and sashimi.
Service was great, we sat at the sushi bar and chat up with the sushi chef, I mean samurai, while using his katana to dice up some nice rolls for us.
the place is indeed more nicely layout and have a sense of space.
the experience is the same with the other branch, so expect same exact menu, same exact service and quality.
a nice joint to stop by when in the neighborhood, will be back to challenge the samurai again :)

Another overnight success for Alan Wong. In some respects this is better than the original. High ceilings and the open layout give the dining area a sense of space and light.
The menu is similar to the original, so expect quality sashimi and of course the signature rolls. We managed to collar Mr Wong, who happened to be serving that evening, and got some recommendations from his secret menu. The gobo root hand rolls were unusual and really delicious as were the south beach rolls containing scallop and tuna.
Impeccable service combined with the amazing surroundings and a few nice touches like selecting your own chopsticks and sake glasses, made this a memorable dining experience. Will definitely be back for more.

Rollin’ It
The new Hatsune is the latest addition to the slew of restaurants at The Village. The younger sibling of the Guanghua Lu branch, this California-style Japanese restaurant boasts well-designed interiors and a menu full of delectable rolls and sushi. For those who like a lethal spicy kick, we recommend the 119 roll (¥55). The roxy roll (¥70) is a luxurious combination of cream cheese and avocado and a pleasure to devour. Aside from the rolls, the “pumpkin tofu” (¥18) was one of our favorites. This cold dish is a light custard egg and pumpkin concoction with a texture smooth and light like tofu, perfect for a summer time snack. Fans of traditional Japanese food and foodies looking for healthy fare will probably find the selection here a little heavy on the calories, but the innovative and daring combinations on the menu are well worth the while. Quality dishes and attentive service aside, our one quip is that the restrooms are located outside of the restaurant—a walk after such a good meal.
