" Hayashi is a hidden gem! We were walking around and decided to stop by for dinner. What a treat! The sushi is delicious, and they have a nice selection of rolls. The staff made great recommendations and were attentive throughout our meal. I can't wait to return and try their other dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" Spontaneous visit that turned into an unforgettable meal! I loved getting recommendations from the staff—they really know their menu. I was also impressed with how they handled dietary restrictions without making it feel awkward. I felt taken care of and would love to come back for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant is an absolute delight! The sushi is made to perfection, and the waitstaff is incredibly attentive. I especially loved the tiger-eye roll—easily the highlight of my meal. I’ve been to many places, and Hayashi stands out as a top contender. I'll definitely be returning for more! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to eating here based on recommendations but was a bit disappointed. The sushi was fresh but didn't have the bold flavors I expected. Service was friendly but rather slow given the restaurant was not very busy. I’ll give it another chance sometime, hoping for a different experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Very cute place with good food! I visited with some friends, and we had a lovely time. The presentation of sushi was impressive and the flavors even more so. My only complaint would be that the prices are slightly high for some items, but the quality makes it worth it in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've been to Hayashi several times now, and it never disappoints. The sushi is always fresh, and the staff greets me like a regular even if I’m not. I particularly love the bento boxes—they are a great value for what you get. The only downside is that it can get crowded during weekends, so make sure to get there early or expect a short wait! " (*Curated Review*)

" Although Hayashi has a great vibe and very friendly staff, I felt the food was somewhat lacking in terms of authenticity. The sushi rolls were decent but didn't impress me as much as I expected. I did appreciate the cozy atmosphere, and the service was prompt. It's a nice place to visit, but I think I have been to better sushi spots nearby. " (*Curated Review*)
