I've been here once before when the restaurant first opened in 2018 (?). I remember meeting the owner but unfortunately, he wasn't at the restaurant this time around. I'll honestly admit that I haven't been back since because Hatch wasn't very memorable for me the first time around other than the black Kara-age dish that was served mainly because of its unique appearance. The food could have tasted better but I also understand that the restaurant had just opened less than a month and probably needed to improve their dishes. Today's review will reflect the 2nd time going when I went for my friend's birthday last week. My friend specifically chose this place because he loves Yakitori, so I figured, sure why not, since it's been a few years. First off, the restaurant has parking validation available for I believe a reduced rate. There's also street parking around, but might be difficult to find especially at night when metered parking is popular then. I ended up parking at Fig@7th structure since I got 3 hours free from my gym membership at Gold's Gym and walked over.Hatch is located on the lower level of The Bloc shopping center. It's tucked away in the little corner. Outside is very minimal and the inside is quite elevated and chic. They have what looks like an outdoor patio for outdoor dining but because it was raining the day I went in, everyone was indoors. Our host seemed busy at first but another employee--perhaps a waiter--had asked if we were seated and promptly tried to seat us in the back of the restaurant. Customer service is already great right off the bat as they were attentive and provided the service quickly. What we ordered:Bottle of Demon Slayer Sake - Very smooth and paired well with most of the items that came out. i liked this sake. Served cold and quite refreshing.Squid Ink Kara-age - This was definitely way better than the first time I came. Not sure if they changed anything or the chicken itself tasted better, but I do think this is one of their most popular items and that's for a reason. The batter to chicken ratio is pretty good too unlike some places I've been to in the past.Agedashi Tofu - I think I would order this again. I really liked the taste of the Agedashi tofu in the thick shiitake broth. I thought the two really complimented well with each other since tofu is simple and bland and with the mixture of the salty shiitake broth both gave it a balance once it entered my mouth.Fancy Fries - These came out piping hot and I think it was a big hit. I ordered this as I like to have carbs with my meats and veggies and I think everyone enjoyed it after the wedges cooled down.Miso Pork Spare Ribs - The ribs were recommended to us by our server. I would recommend this dish as I liked the miso caramel marinade they used on the pork ribs. The one thing I love about my ribs too is when it falls off the bone and that was exactly what happened with this dish. It was slightly on the smaller side for our group to share, but we were all able to try some. Wasabi Short Ribs - This was a big hit within our group. Just imagine the Korean style short ribs with the three bones nicely marinated to their own sauce but you can still taste the quality of the meat. I really liked this dish - soft and chewy. It was so delicious.Corn Tempura - This was a sad and underwhelming dish. Our waiter suggested this and when it first came out, it looked pretty epic with its presentation with 3 corn tempuras stacked on one another, but it was just okay. I was surprised the waiter had highly suggested it as I think this would be my second to last recommendation from what we ate.Winner, Winner Chicken Inners - Personally, this was my least favorite one. If you're not a fan of exotic meats (heart, gizzards, and liver) then I would just do without this dish. I gave it a shot, first with the heart which had a very "hearty" taste, I couldn't handle the gizzard's texture, and the livers had a very strong, iron taste. It wasn't an all around winner for me.Under the grilled sticks we got the chicken meatball (full of wonderful flavors), beef tongue (I could only handle little bits of this but it was good), chicken thigh and green (probably my favorite of the yakitori) and the mushroom party!I guess that concludes my review for Hatch. Although it's a step better from when I first had it, I don't think I like it enough for me to come back unless another friend wants to try this place again. I do think I have higher standards for this restaurant as it aesthetically looks beautiful, but the food just isn't up to par to it's image.
