August 9 at 3pm!! Anyone else get one? They went crazy fast, I feel pretty lucky!
I was refreshing the wrong page (main hayato) and when I realized it, I tried to go to the lunch bento page had it in cart but was unable to check out.
Picking one up today. Woo-hoo!
It was wonderful. And, more than any meal I’ve eaten in the last four-and-a-half months, it filled me with a sense of peace and quiet happiness, an echo of how I centered I always felt having dinner at Hayato. Even at my own dining room table, I felt a bit transported to Japan.
Chef Go looks relaxed and happy, glad to be back at work.
I’ve said it before, but it’s always true, everytime I have a meal at hayato I feel transported back to japan. This bento box was even better than I remembered, definitely more seasoned and flavorful and the dashi was more present. Chef go has each component perfectly dialed in. The quality, execution, amount of work, and thoughtfulness of this bento box makes it the best in the city, it’s not even close. And at 52 dollars+tt, the qpr is so high, it’s a steal.
Highlights, everything. More specifically, the wild mexican white shrimp shinjo, grilled hokkaido scallop, black cod saikyo yaki, snow crab claw sunomono, datemaki tamago, shiitake nimono, snow crab tofu, satsuma sweet potato, agedashi eggplant, koshihikari rice.
And my mostest favorite highlight, the wild mexican white shrimp shinjo, this was insanely good and reminded me of a fried har gow with super fresh pieces of shrimp @moonboy403

Forgot to post the to-go sake menu, @beefnoguy.
Also, stay tuned for a hayato takeaway dinner in the future.
Nothing stops you. It looks spectacular.
Sexy AF closeup shots!!! Well done @PorkyBelly and thanks for posting the sake menu! I’m very happy to see he’s offering up his list to go!
If anyone has a bento order for this month and needs to cancel or can’t pick it up any longer, please let me know! Help a fellow FTC’er out
Hayato takeaway dinner?!?
including his bo zushi
#JustTakeMyMoney
Anybody interested in skipping the F5 and placing an ftc bulk bento order? If there’s enough interest I can email them and try to arrange a date. We’ll need to order at least 6 bentos and they’ll need 4 weeks notice so it won’t be until sometime in September.
yes please
I’m down for 1.
Super interested!
