Hayashi Sushi & Grill

Great looking restaurant that was quite popular for lunch. This was my first time here as I wanted to try out some other sushi spots outside of my normal one. The Atmosphere was good and energetic. However, the decorative fish tanks were gross and needed cleaning. Service was great and fast at bringing everything out and the 3 for $39 sushi special was perfect for 2 people. We got the crab harumaki appetizer that ended up being a small egg roll for $8. Completely not worth it. The rolls we got were the dynamite, Jason, and the strawberry. They were all very average and nothing special. No dynamic flavors or anything that really stood out as amazing. A worthy 3/5 in regard to quality/taste/freshness. Overall, I would probably not return here for sushi but would be willing to try out the hi

Food and service were absolutely wonderful! Next time we will have to go on the other side for habachi! The only thing that annoyed me to no end was the peeling wallpaper at our booth. Really just made the place look run down.

I usually enjoy coming to this hibachi spot and have been here several times for both lunch and dinner. The food and experience are good, but I noticed the prices have really gone up — not just for dinner, but now even for the lunch specials too. Before, a shrimp dinner was around $23–$24, and the lunch special used to be $15–$17. Now the lunch shrimp is basically $20–$25, which is almost the same as the dinner price. And for lunch, you don’t even get both soup and salad — just one. The portion is smaller, which is fine for lunch, but the price jump doesn’t make sense. I wouldn’t mind paying a few extra dollars if it felt like an upgrade, but it feels like I’m paying more for the same (or less). After tax and the 18% gratuity, I spent almost $27 for what was basically rice, vegetables, a

The food was really good and I appreciated how simple ordering was as this was my first time getting hibachi. The server and chef were very attentive and polite. All in all I had a great meal.
