BLUF: A decent neighborhood restaurant. We visited Hayashi for a quick lunch. Food: OK (3 out of 5 stars) - Sushi Lunch: $15 ($16.33 with tax). Five pieces of nigiri and six California roll pieces. The raw fish was acceptably fresh and presented at the right temperature, but could have been tighter. - Salmon Teriyaki Lunch Bento: $14 ($15.24 with tax). The salmon was slightly overcooked, and the teriyaki sauce was slightly watered down. Service: Good (4 out of 5 stars) Hayashi offers complimentary tea. The staff regularly checked on how we were doing and refilled our tea. Atmosphere and Other: - Seating was comfortable, though the restaurant was more dimly-lit than I would have liked. - There is one well-maintained unisex restroom. - Parking in front of the restaurant is metered, but it is easy to find residential parking nearby.

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!

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!

Best sushi in south Brooklyn hands down. I've tried many places for eat in and delivery. The sushi is not too fishy and does not smell old. Here are some things you should definitely get when you visit or order. The consistency between eating in and ordering is the same. Salads - Seafood ceviche salad - Seared tuna salad - Kani salad Appetizers - Spicy tuna wasabi crackers - rock shrimp Sushi - Spicy Tuna roll- fresh and no fishy smell or taste - Yellowtail pieces rolls - Spicy cooked scallop roll - Hayashi Roll- very different and in square pieces layered with different fish, avocado and tobiko - Tri color roll- amazing - Any roll honestly

Our group of 4 started with a bottle of Pinot Grigio and a few appetizers to share, namely: Som tum papaya salad and dumplings curry. For the main entree, my eyes caught the attention of clay pot mix-fried rice with shrimp, chicken, sweet sausage, and my partner chose shrimp pad thai. Nothing really stood out with the dishes; I found it to be a bit Americanized, having eaten in so many Thai restaurants around New York City. Overall, we enjoyed our dinner here; our food came in timely fashion, and the customer service is good as well, but it's probably not your place if you are seeking a more authentic Thai-style cooking.

PLEASE get the mango stick rice cocktail omg it was gone in like 5 sips because it was so good. The tuna ceviche was so refreshing and the sauce had a little kick to it which I absolutely loved! It was like a sprinkle of Thai on a classic tuna ceviche. Note the taro chips are a little thicker than a typical chip! The pork jowl wasn't as crispy as I expected but it was still flavorful and the portion size was huge, considering how it was an appetizer. We got pineapple lychee crispy duck, crab fried rice, and kana crispy pork over rice as our entree. ALL WERE SO GOOD! The curry for the pineapple lychee crispy duck was so creamy and flavorful, with the duck portion being huge and being the perfect texture. I loved that it was crispy and didn't get soggy fast in the curry. The crab fried rice was top tier as there were SO MANY HUGE CRAB PIECES!! You can definitely tell that it had flavors of seafood/crab.. they did not skimp out! And the kana crispy pork over rice was huge portion as well, but note that it was a big strong/saltier than the other dishes. For dessert, the pandan coconut pudding custard was SO yummy. It was warm and so flavorful and creamy!! I fell in love with Brooklyn even more after coming here. Highly recommend!!

Hungry Thirsty is a quaint, small space with incredible food that packs quite a punch. I came here…read morefor a date night and wasn't sure what to expect - Thai food can be hit or miss for me since I am celiac. However, the menus were clearly marked and the servers were very knowledgeable. Each dish was a very generous portion and for two people, three was more than enough for some leftovers the next day. Beware, the spice is no joke. I highly recommend keeping your group small, however, as the restaurant really is quite tight in space. We also waited about 20 minutes to get seated after arriving for our reservation, which seems to be a trend for this restaurant. While it was a bit irksome for me it didn't rise to the level of docking a star or anything like that since the experience was otherwise lovely.

Server was friendly but stern and told him he was ordering too many of the spicy dishes - I think he would've been fine though (and we intended to bring home leftovers anyway) so that was a little annoying. Anyway, food was hot but not Thai spicy from what I understand. The whole fish I had was tasty. Drinks were good. I wouldn't return but maybe hubby will solo. Didn't get seated until 30 mins after reservation time (as did the couple ahead of us from what I saw) so prepare for that.

Wait staff was attentive to dietary needs, exemptions and ensured our request was followed to a T. Ordered some Khao Kriab Pak Mor (dumplings) to start along with a pair of mocktails. And an order of Khao Na Ped (smoked vegan duck) and Ginger Chicken (vegan). All served well with good portion. What I personally liked is the 2 dishes took a bit, not slow or long but IMHO taking a little bit always seems it was cared for in prep. Who knows just my thing. The staff has a challenge to accommodate outdoor seating as the bldg doesn't have an inside/back door for them and they must carry food out the front door, down the sidewalk and into the garden area. That's tough but they do it with grace. The seating was okay since it's early enough but bugs showed up - no surprise - not a complaint just the reality of life and online typing in case anyone is considering it and is more sensitive to the same.

We need to get more people over to Myrtle Thai!! A highlight for me was that they offer their lunch special ($12.95) on weekends (12:00-3:45pm)! I got massaman curry with chicken and spring roll, and my friend got the eggplant basil with a spring roll. The portion is on the smaller side, though I didn't mind because I'm working to control my portions. For the price, it's also fair. While the spring rolls could use more flavor, we both enjoyed the flavors of our entrees. We got the mango sundae for dessert, and it was delectable. Service was phenomenal! The staff was so kind and went above and beyond from a customer service perspective. Our waters never went below half-empty, there were multiple check-backs, and they didn't rush us. Of course, I wouldn't mind being rushed if they get more business, since they deserve it.

The Brooklyn fried rice is a green curry paste spicy fried rice and curry taste is really strong with a nice spice level. The curry puffs have a flaky soft pastry with flavorful filling and sweet dipping sauce. The tom kha is a favorite for my boyfriend and me. Perfect level of savory, sweet and sour. We get this every single time. I look forward to ordering more delivery and coming back to try their lunch specials which are a pretty good deal! The crab fried rice, duck curry, and eggplant basil also look excellent and we can't wait to try these too. The staff are very nice and provide excellent service.

Unfortunately, I have to admit I was pretty disappointed. Most of the dishes, especially the sauces, they were extremely salty! - Beef Tartare "Dine-In Exclusive" -- I'd skip this one. The beef was very dry, and it came with taro chips and greens but no sauce to tie everything together. Definitely not what I expected from a tartare. - Enoki Bloom -- Crispy, perfectly fried enoki mushrooms that I actually enjoyed. The only downside was that it was also very salty. The creamy green sauce on the side helped balance it out. - Crying Tiger -- Another skip for me. The steak was dry, tough and chewy, and the meat itself was pretty bland. The sauce had plenty of flavor, but again, it was way too salty. - Pork Jowl -- Probably my favorite dish of the meal. It was perfectly grilled, tender and flavorful. I'd skip the sauce though since the pork was already delicious on its own. - Crab Curry -- Unfortunately, another very salty dish. I honestly don't know how it got this salty. I was expecting more of the spicy or slightly sweet flavors you normally get from a Thai curry, but the salt completely took over. Very disappointing!!! - Thai Iced Tea -- This was actually really good. Creamy, rich and not overly sweet. The menu changes seasonally, so unfortunately, some of the dishes I had seen online were no longer available when I went. I was really looking forward to trying Tong, especially since it's so close by, but overall the meal just didn't do it for me. I probably wouldn't come back or recommend it based on this experience.
