“ This was a 1010 experience! I knew I had to try this place after Chef Kevin Lees glowing review. I was blown away by how amazing the volcano roll was! My husband ordered the spicy spicy roll and it was great, too. Already cant wait to go back this is definitely my new sushi place! ”
“ We stopped in on a Saturday evening and the service was amazing. We got the lunch sesame bento box with three sushi rolls. Everything tasted amazing and we had tons of left overs because the portion sizes were very generous. Delightful chef and staff, the new owners are doing great. Nice to have a new favorite. ”

“ Had planned a special lunch date with Hubby and sushi was a MUST!!! Found that The Hayashi was in route and decided to stop in to see what they were all about! The host was helpful and extremely nice. Was grateful to be able to utilize their restrooms as it was a bit of a drive from Dibble. The restroom was clean and welcoming. The Chefs did a fantastic job preparing our order to go even while being bombarded by another guess barking orders at the bar. They maintained their professionalism and efficiency. The staff did a phenomenal job of communicating with me throughout making sure of how my order was to be executed. Including all the things to boot. Soy sauce, chop sticks, napkins, ginger, wasabi! Upon arriving at my husbands work roughly 25 minutes away our food was plenty warm and so very fresh! Hoping to get some time off soon so that he and I are able to return for a dine in experience. 10 out of 10! HIGHLY recommend!! We SHALL most definitely be eating here again. Clearly care for their customers and it shows. Thank you for an amazing meal and overall first impression as well experience to The Hayashi!!! ”

“ The food is on par with some of the more expensive restaurants. Sushi was fresh and full of flavor. Really hope to see this restaurant grow in the future. Big con of the visit was waiting on the food. Staff notified us it was going to be a long wait and it was. My wife and I are still willing to come back and try more of their sushi. ”
“ From start to finish the experience was great. The chef was friendly and the owner was super nice, even greeted us to make sure our experience was going well.
