    Stopped by and ordered the 2 roll lunch special it came with a nice small salad with ginger dressing and the presentation of the 2 rolls was very appetizing... the lunch was delicious and the restaurant was nicely decorated and the service was excellent...

    Great lunch special. Ordered 3 rolls and all of them were packed with fish, very little rice, just the way I like it. Everything is super fresh too. Give hayashi a try!

    Sushi Pizza

    There're a lot of various Asian fusion restaurants that serve sushi in the Sheepshead Bay area but most of them sell affordable but low quality sushi made of frozen, not fresh fish and other cheap ingredients so despite large quantity of such places, it's really difficult to find one that would offer delicious, first rate sushi and seafood products. Hayashi opened up many years ago and still seem to maintain a great reputation by serving delectable sushi made out of premium quality ingredients and other staple Japanese and Asian dishes such as hibachi, pad thai, donburi-delicious Japanese rice bowl dish consisting of either fish or meat, various veggies, steamed together and served with savory sauces. My personal favorite is Unagi don-steamed white seasoned rice topped with grilled fillets of eel covered by a sweetened soy based sauce and garnished with Japanese style pickled vegetables that compliment the sweet, slightly smoky flavor of the fish and add an interesting crunchy texture to the whole dish. Anyways tonight we ordered Sushi Pizza and it was true flavor and taste explosion-perfect combination of grilled eel, avocado, masago, cream cheese served on a scrumptious, crispy pancake and covered with a few different sauces. 10 out of 10-delicious, filling, portion big enough to share and very satisfying. Spicy Salmon tartar definitely didn't disappoint as it was made with the very fresh chopped salmon, mixed with an amazing spicy mayo type of sauce and addition of masago caviar plus quail egg perfectly married all the flavors and textures-10 out of 10, spectacular, definitely will order again. Hayashi salad had a combo of 4 different salads in 1-kani, spicy tuna, fried salmon skin and a seaweed, was served on the bed of avocado and overall tasted great except for 1 minus-mediocre quality of a fried salmon skin which wasn't consistent, some pieces were deliciously crunchy and very tasty while others were overly dry and practically impossible to chew- 7 out of 10, they definitely need to work on improving the quality of salmon skins. Finally we wanted to try a Hibachi style noodles and it was great-yummy, not oily or greasy, full of that unique hibachi flavor, had perfect veggie to noodles ratio and was generously sized. Overall very satisfying dinner experience, fabulous raw fish and seafood dishes, delicious noodles, definitely recommend Hayashi to everyone as they have a vast menu which would satisfy any craving or dietary preference.

    I hate to make decent neighborhood restaurants seems pedestrian or ordinary, in a bad way, but Hayashi is your typical run of the mill 50% off/inexpensive sushi restaurant .... and it was good. My wife and I dropped in for lunch on a Saturday afternoon and were seated immediately. As expected at the time of the day, the restaurant wasn't crowded, but did have a few parties inside. The menu was pretty straightforward and typical for a local sushi restaurant. There were plenty of appetizers, sushi rolls, special rolls, sushi and specials to choose from. Since it was still lunch time, we went for the lunch special of getting 3 rolls for $9, which is a "good" deal these days. It also came with a miso soup or salad, which we both went with the soup. We were tempted by the $10 lunch box specials, but we were just cravvving sushi. We ended ordering pretty common rolls, such as, eel avocado, spicy tuna, spicy yellowtail, etc. I ordered regular cut rolls, while she ordered 3 hand rolls. To sum it up, it was allll good. No complaints as the sushi was delicious. We do have 1 observation though, and that is, it seemed that the hand rolls actually had much more stuffing other than rice, while the cut rolls obviously had more rice. So keep that in mind when deciding what type of roll you want. The service was spot on and fast throughout our meal. The waitresses were always on top, maybe a bit too eager, to fill our tea cups whenever they were a bit depleted, but everything else was perfect. Another winner of a sushi spot in Sheepshead Bay, but you won't be blown away by any of the food that will make you want to come here more than others.

    This restaurant has very affordable sushi rolls! I've gotten take out several times during this pandemic and its been quick and easy to order and pick up food. They have great customer service and their rolls are always well prepared.

    One is missing because I HAD to try it. Salmon Avocado Roll; Spicy California Roll, Mango Roll.

    I was craving Sushi and read the fantastic reviews about this place. I placed my order for a Spicy California Roll, a Salmon Avocado Roll and a Mango Roll. I placed the order through Yelp. The food arrived earlier than scheduled. The rolls are super fresh! I'm definitely going to be ordering from this spot again. Contactless delivery too! Love it.

    They have a large menu with so many choices. Everything is always fresh and delicious. One of my favorite sushi places in Brooklyn.

    Was in the mood for sushi so I wanted to try out the sushi they had here for lunch. Tiny restaurant with some available street parking if you look hard enough. It was not too busy when I came into the store to order the rolls, but I thought it was a good idea to call beforehand to speed up the process and just pick up the food. The prices of the rolls range from $2 to $4, which is pretty standard. I took the sushi home and plated it on a dish to simulate that restaurant experience from home. I ordered some spicy salmon, eel avocado, and tuna avocado, and they all tasted delicious and fresh. I would also try the spicy tuna, Philadelphia or the Hayashi roll on my next visit, as I was recommended these from my friends. Highly recommended cheap sushi spot in Sheepshead Bay!

    Quite pricey for omakase in south Brooklyn: $100 and up (you can find similar & higher quality…read moreomakase for less in Manhattan & other parts of NYC). As far as quality, pretty standard omakase experience: nothing memorable to write home about. Would not return for the price & what you get for it. Our waitress was super bossy, which was a turn off. I took my time enjoying each bite. She kept repeating, "one bite, eat it in one bite! It was meant to be one bite!" Felt like we were scolded by a strict parent. When you're paying so money for an experience, you don't want to be chastised by staff. Such heavy energy. She seemed harried and we had to wait for water for long stretches of time on a Friday night, when the spot was half empty. This detracted from our experience. Small space, so I'd recommend making reservations for peak dinning times, as this place fills up with a surprising amount of local return customers.

    price - $118 before tax and tip for a 15 course set…read more food - 5/5 service - 3/5 ambiance - 5/5 i got their 15 course omakase set and the food was amazing! every sushi piece was made with great care and you can really taste the different texture and flavors of each type of fish! it also doesnt taste fishy at all which i really like since other restaurants may have a sushi taste. the service was just okay. the waitresses did check in with us but it only twice compared to the other customers. overall i did not feel the most comfortable because i felt like the service was prioritized at people who looked more sophisticated. if you do not mind the service and only want to go for the food then you should definitely try this place out. if you do care about the service then this may not be the best option for you. other than that, the food, ambiance and vibes were great!
