Clean, with kind and quick staff and a nice assortment of Hibachi style and sushi dishes. Namely the spring rolls are really good. They're freshly prepared and delicious. Other appetizer of note is the dumplings. Absolutely delightful, not overly salty like others I've had. The regular miso soup is fresh and hot. Sushi lunch special was a nice assortment of fishes with a small California roll. Service was very good and quick. Our waiter Trevor was exceptional in his duties and gave us recommendations on the menu when we looked unsure. He made the experience even better. Very pleased. Will be back.

Food was excellent and atmosphere was quiet and relaxed for a late lunch at 2pm. However the waitress left out parts of our order and wasn't very attentive to asking about refills or bringing condiments to the whole table.

my chicken fried rice was good as always but the service seemed a little slow tonight. no big deal, i was in no hurry anyways. here is a picture of their fried soft shell crab appetizer. it was very moist and crunchy. its a little over priced i suppose. But where else in lubbock tx can you get Is tempora soft shell crab. overall i was pleased with my visit

The atmosphere was lovely & the service was good. The portions were great but the food was pretty bland. It could definitely use more flavor. I liked the soup & salad! However, the rice was plain... The chicken didn't have much flavor & neither did the veggies. I also really didn't like any of the sauces. So I probably won't be back.

Overall had a good experience at Hayashi this week. Really enjoyed the promptness of service and the atmosphere inside the place. Personally I felt the food could have been a little better, however. Looking forward to visiting again in the future and trying something different.

Everything was wonderful! We really had a nice dinner and great service and even better food. There was of course a few areas that could use a slight improvement but overall it was delicious and we will be returning! We were greeted by a hostess that was nice enough, she was on her phone but greeted us promptly. We were sat down in the bartenders section and were waited on within 5 or 10 minutes. Appetizer: We got a Tokyo Maki sushi roll as an appetizer and it was the best sushi roll I’ve ever had! The wasabi is also perfectly balanced. We also had a “house salad” which had such a weird tasting dressing but I couldn’t stop eating it anyway lol. Our entrees: 2 hibachi combination steak & scallops; scallops were cooked to perfection. IMO, The steak could have been taken off the grill a couple minutes sooner and it would have been perfect but it was so good regardless. The veggies could have been left on a little longer but were still great tasting and flavorful. The rice was really good and the sauce under the steak and scallops was delightful! Dessert: If you’re still hungry, you gotta try the tempura cheesecake. It is AMAZING! Our bartender/waitress recommended it for us and I was not disappointed. Thank you for a lovely dinner. This may become a regular spot for us. :))

Service was a little slow and infrequent but not a big issue. The beef udon noodle soup was good with a nice side of tempura shrimp. The soup did have a strange chlorine aftertaste which I'm guessing is either from the water used for the broth or maybe excessive dishwasher residue left on the bowl. Otherwise it would have been great. The chirashi plate was a hot or miss on some of the fish. Salmon was GOOD as well as the white fish. However the mackerel and yellow fish did not taste too fresh. And the red tuna was not thawed all the way...I also would have preferred more rice to better balance with the fish. Overall, somewhat disappointed but not incredibly so as it did taste decent.

don't get me wrong everything was pretty on point the atmosphere, the staff, the food, however the beef and rice could use a little work as in my opinion they were a little bland, but otherwise the rolls and dumpling were great. Will definitely come back to get sushi next time

Hayashi Midtown offers a standard Japanese dining experience that can be hit-or-miss. While the hibachi provides entertainment, the food itself sometimes falls short, with reports of overcooked steak and bland fried rice. Sushi is decent but not exceptional, occasionally lacking that fresh, vibrant flavor. It's an acceptable spot if you're nearby and have a craving, but it may not wow you. The experience is often more about the show than the culinary substance.

The pieces of chicken I ate was good up until I found a semi long strand of hair in my food, then I was just disappointed. It was buried in the food so I didn't touch the rest and threw it away, double check those hairnets next time, guys.
