Hinata Japanese Fine Dining Indianapolis Reviews from The Last Year
This was an exquisite meal.
Service was exceptional, food was so delicious and unique, it was a good amount of food for each serving. It's expensive but this is one where I say it's worth the price tag. You won't find food like this anywhere else in Indy with this level of service. Ambiance was nice and quiet. Since it's smaller it's more intimate. We had the 7 course meal and order a couple bottles of sake. All the dishes were beautiful and just scrumptious.
I really hate to write a negative review about Hinata, and
I really hate to write a negative review about Hinata, and while there were definitely some positives about our meal, the overall experience was disappointing. The positives: ambiance and service were great. It feels like an upscale place, and they make you feel very welcome and taken care of throughout the meal. It's also a neat experience to try several different courses. The negatives: the food itself was a bit disappointing overall. While none of the courses were particularly bad, I never felt myself saying "oh my gosh this is amazing." Normally this wouldn't be a huge deal, but considering you are paying at least $150-200 per person with tip, I would expect the quality of the food to match the high price tag. At the end of the day, it was a neat experience but unfortunately not a place I would return to in the future. **Also, a minor complaint, but be aware this restaurant is for some reason registered as a "retail" business and not dining/restaurant, so if you are hoping to gain any bonus points for a credit card you're using related to dining, this won't apply. I figured that out after looking at my credit card statement.**
Had a fun tasting last night at Hinata, enjoyable
Had a fun tasting last night at Hinata, enjoyable experience start to finish with a chill counter to engage the chef! Everything was prepared well and the fish was all very fresh. Price is on the high side for what you're actually eating but it solidly fills the niche of fine Asian dining without leaving town.
My son and I tried Hinata for the first time this past
My son and I tried Hinata for the first time this past Saturday evening. There is a parking garage next door to the restaurant and we chose to park in there ($8). They opened the door for us to come in and seated us at the counter as I requested. The ambiance was nice, low lights, very quiet. Our appetizer came and the plate was beautiful. There were 5 items on the appetizer plate. My memory is not great so I do not remember every item but I do remember I loved the cracker with the water chestnuts on it and the daikon and carrot salad. The middle amouse bouche dish had salmon roe on top adding a nice saltiness. All 5 items were very good. The following dish was the catch of the day. This sashimi dish contained cuttlefish, tuna, salmon, wasabi, shredded daikon, lettuce, and a slice of lemon. So now I know I am not a fan of cuttlefish, it has an odd texture. Does not mean I did not eat it though. This course was served with soy sauce on the side. Again the preparation was beautiful. Sitting at the counter we could see the preparation and how extremely sharp the knives were. Each dish was explained to us as they sat them down and they encouraged questions through-out the meal. The next course was the soup course, Zoni. I did forget to explain that the menu changes monthly and can be found on their website. This month the menu was all associated to the New Year. The soup was good as well. This is a traditional New Year soup and it contained mushroom, mochi rice cakes (we were told to chew those well), fish cake, daikon, carrot, fish, seaweed, and broth. Excellent soup. The next dish was the fish dish, Buri Daikon, and I could drink a barrel of the broth this was served in! They did warn that there could be a bone in the fish, so exercise care. I did not find any bones. The fish, a yellow tail, was simmered with daikon radish and the skin was left on the fish, it was meant to be consumed. The fish was soft and delicate and I loved this dish. The next dish was a beef dish, Grilled Miso marinated U.S. Prime Beef, it was filet mignon. Loved the salty miso on top of the steak and it was perfectly cooked to a tender medium rare. This was served in a hot pot and it definitely was extremely hot to the touch. Along side the beef was a very creamy mashed potato, a roasted zucchini slice and a sliver of red bell pepper. This was delicious as well. The next dish was the rice dish, Sekihan. This came on a seaweed sheet and was meant to be picked up like a taco. I do not remember what was in the rice but on top it looks like shredded cheese but was actually finely sliced egg. Interesting flavors and textures with the seaweed paper. Lastly was dessert, we were celebrating our Valentine's birthdays. My son and I were born on the same day and it is the holiday so I rarely make it out on my actual birthday as it is too busy. The brought out cheesecake and a dense chocolate piece on a plate with a candle that said happy birthday. Very nice. I am not a cheesecake fan so I had one bite and then my son ate both of them and liked it. The chocolate was good though. When we entered we took our coats off at the door and under the counter was a cloth basket to place my purse in. As we exited the held our coats for us to put them on and then opened both doors for us to exit. The service here was top notch. If a drop of water hit the table the wiped it up when they came by, they kept our water glasses full as well. It does came at a price but I would recommend this for the experience as well as the delicious food.
My wife and I came here on Fri 1/12 to celebrate our 33rd
My wife and I came here on Fri 1/12 to celebrate our 33rd wedding anniversary. We selected Hinata based on the many five star reviews here and on other sites; we were really looking forward to dining here. Course by course: the appetizers were ok, some seemed to have been sitting around for a day or two. Some of the flavors were muddy and tired, but on the whole we were not unhappy, yet. The sashimi was excellent. In retrospect, this was the one course that depended solely on the quality of the ingredients, and the kitchen had not touched it. It also was paired with an outstanding sake, Tokubetu Honjozo from Niizawa Brewery. By far the best course. Next came a soup, Zoni, which featured a small piece of fish, the mouthfeel of which made me think it had been sitting in the hot broth for quite some time; it was as firm as well-done steak, and not at all what I would have hoped for. Chewy fish, and gummy mochi. The next course was simmered yellowtail with daikon. Again, the fish was overcooked. Nothing nice about it at all. Two different servers came by to warn us to watch out for bones, and they were not wrong. Then grilled miso-marinated beef in hot pot. Nothing to complain about here, high praise for this meal. The final savory course was sekihan, red bean rice. Sounded nice, but what we got was a tired, favorless bar of dry, compressed rice on a piece of nori. Two servers (again!) stopped by to say that it should be eaten as a taco, which made me wish for some salsa, or anything that might have given it some flavor. I felt and tasted like it had been sitting around in the walk-in since maybe Wednesday morning. Dessert was as unmemorable as the rest of the meal, a tiny wedge of dry cheesecake, and something else. At this point we didn't really care what it was. The bill came and we left. We gave negative feedback to the servers three times, and there was no follow-up from management at all. No one cared. Service was middling, not what you might hope for from a final bill of $470 for two w/tip. I'll never forget this meal, but I'll wish that I could.
Absolutely can't say anything bad about this place! We went
Absolutely can't say anything bad about this place! We went out on a limb following recommendations from strangers on Facebook and had one of the best times ever! From the moment we entered, we were given the absolute best service. We did the chefs choice menu which was 7 courses of heaven. I tried so many new things! We did the wine and sake pairing which I highly recommend! We got a personalized desert for our anniversary which was so sweet!
Another fabulous experience at Hinata.
The attentiveness and effort this restaurant puts into its diners' experience is unmatched. They provide great explanations of each dish and offer advice on drinks that will go well with the meal. Everything was delicious but the sashimi and filet were by far my favorites.
This is a really special restaurant, and I would say you
This is a really special restaurant, and I would say you need to be a little bit adventurous to enjoy this experience. The menu is seasonal and changes monthly, a set menu of eight courses. I say you might need to be a bit adventurous because the courses cover a variety of textures and flavors and includes cooked and raw foods. The plates/servings seem small but I have always been satisfied by the meal and thoroughly enjoy the variety of items and the different flavors and textures. Everything is prepared and cooked perfectly and made by chef just for you! They only seat around 20 people a night or so; with service at 6 pm and 7 pm. It's intimate and unlike any other Indianapolis restaurants I have experienced. And I think it is well worth the price considering the quality of the food and of the experience; the meal is about $120 a person. They also have a wonderful wine and sake meal pairing for $75 a person (1 1/2 oz pours). Great place to escape from the world of screens and have a unique dinner experience with your favorite person. You will be talking about the food! And decompressing from your day in the warm, neutral and insulated atmosphere. Seriously, I feel the stress melt away when I am there. My favorite dish is the Japanese custard (savory) which is melt in your mouth comfort food (served HOT, watch out!). I have been there 3 times and always feel welcome and appreciated, as well. & Every time I have left with the thought and feeling that "I can't wait to come back!" They will confirm your reservation the day before, and if you have any dietary restrictions or allergies they invite you to let them know on the phone call. They do not take walk-ins, and reservations for Fri/Sat are often booked out weeks in advance. I didn't add any photos because honestly every time I just want to relax and enjoy the experience. But, they do post the monthly menu with pictures every month on their Facebook page. A treasure of a place!
Maybe the best restaurant in Indy.
It would cost twice as much in a big city. Every bite was fun and different
Good food, great service, but not sure if the final product
Good food, great service, but not sure if the final product warrants the price tag. For $150-$200 a head, I'd expect unbelievable, and while very good - didn't quite rise to that standard. 5 stars for me would be "I can't wait to go back" but the reality is I've experienced it; and don't really feel a need to visit again.
Best dining experience.
Went for our 10th wedding anniversary. The staff was excellent and kind, the food was out of this world. One of the best culinary experiences ever. Worth every penny. I cannot believe the review about the raw chicken, nothing about this restaurant is ordinary. There were two meat dishes during our dinner cooked to perfection. We will be back!

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.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
Payouts Blocked Because of Sell Through Rate
Does anyone know how AT plans to handle cases where a seller is quitting the platform but has a sell through rate <25%? The error message I got said to fill more bids or find other ways to increase the rate.
Is AT really going to block sellers from withdrawing their money? Especially revenue made before the sell through rate was introduced??
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.
