    30 min wait, but it is packed, like all the cooks are probably taken. Which is fine because I don't mind eating somewhere else lol but our party of 7 wants to eat here so we are indeed waiting. The ambiance is basic and it's similar to Benihana and I'm sure everything's going to be cool but so far so good. Ok so it was an hour wait for everything really and we still haven't gotten seen by the chef yet! They really have us waiting and it's loud in here lol but hey we wanna eat here so we will wait and just chat... Ok so the WAIT WAS WORTH IT!!! The food was a 5/5 and it only took about 10 mins to make it but he prepared the food and that's what took so long! Also without all the sauces and seasonings I don't think it would had been good! Veggies def need some sauce! Overall my sis got the check! It's gonna be like $280 total watch! Well it was $349! Wow! Btw I got filet mignon and calamari! Just know the service here is slower than most but the taste is fresh and good!

    We chose this place for the happy hour. I was celebrating my daughter's 18th birthday. We asked for the happy hour menu and I was give a laminated page. I confirmed with our server that these were the happy hour items. Food comes out and while the rolls were pretty tasty and good portions the gyoza was bland and the calamari tempura was very chewy. Whatever you win some you lose some. All the adults at the table are servers or bartenders so we get it. When I asked for the check the only thing that was happy hour was the gyoza. $168 for 4 adults and 2 kids. Made a stop in the restroom on the way out and was in desperate need of some attention. Won't be coming back, overall it was just a disappointing experience.

    Well, I did something different this time. I was in the mood for the Americanized Asian, so Hayashi came to mind. Since it was just my wife and I, we decided to forego the show and dine in their small dining room hoping to save a little money. I was a little surprised that the menu was the same teppanyaki menu as the one in the main dining room where they cook in front of you. Also, the prices were the same. Really the only difference was that the food was cooked in the kitchen and you don't tip twice (once on the check and once to the teppanyaki chef). Also, it was quicker to eat in the small dining area, where you don't have to wait for the show to start. The food was still the same familiar Hayashi teppanyaki food we were accustomed to, but I did feel that the dish was really heavy on the rice and light on the beef and scallops. Also, I did pay extra for the filet and asked for it medium-rare. Unfortunately it came out well done and dry. The scallops were pretty good. I did enjoy the miso soup and salad. The main dish was pretty good and our server was good. All-in-all not too bad, but I am not sure if it was worth the money. I think we would have been better of in the main dining area where the food would have been more freshly prepared and the steak cooked more to my liking. But, I do feel the service was much more prompt in the small dining room. An enjoyable evening to be sure.

I couldn't tell you the timeframe of when the current ownership took it over from the previous owner when I first started frequenting Eest. The change was immediately felt. The level of customer care and taste of food changed. Not for the worst, but different. My last visit this month for an order of shrimp fried rice was my final straw and I will find somewhere else to find some food. It has been a very slow spiral downward with the quality of food. I am talking years where the consistency was slipping. Then last month it was as if they forgot what they were doing. What was served to me was edible, but nowhere near what I have been given in the past. I hope it was a bad day for the kitchen for the establishment's sake! Call in takeout orders have been a speed bump. You call in and you're quoted a time of when your order will be ready. You pay for your order when you get there. Then the clock starts. It totally defeats the purpose of the original quoted timeframe.

    This has to be the worst version of cheap asian food I've had yet. There is nothing redeemable…read moreabout the wonton soup, it tastes like dish water.

The restaurant wasn't that busy for the lunch rush, and the waitress was very attentive and helpful. The only downsides I experienced was that there was no hot water running in the bathroom that I could tell, and no paper towels were available to dry my hands or open the bathroom door with. I also had a small fly hovering around me while I ate (I was inside). Thinking about this experience a little deeper however (after the bill) changed things for me a bit. Was the food okay? Yes, I think... Was it noteworthy? Not really. The stacks of premade rolls sitting on the counter made me think twice about ever eating here again. I paid around $45 for lunch after tax and tip. I ordered 6 pieces of nigiri, a tempura roll, a small bowl of miso soup, and an iced tea. I don't consider this anything crazy or over the top. Given this price point I expect hot water and paper towels in the bathrooms, especially if employees who are handling our food use those facilities. 1-star, won't be back... oh, and the soy sauce bottle was literally stuck to the counter. I had to pry it off.

I really enjoy the ambiance and service there, but learned quickly that with larger groups the Peoria location is best for us. One of my kids graduated from college last week and he wanted to celebrate. All he wanted was to have sushi and to celebrate with our relatives who came from out of state. We didn't know if it'd be doable since we were on the other side of the valley. We called, gave them our party size (12) and eta. Low and behold, they were able to get us a reservation. We get on the road to make it to our reservation 0745-0800, they close at 1000pm worse case scenario we get there by 0800 and we still have a good amount of time for the AYCE 90 minute experience. We get there and they have a sign out for the AYCE, last call 0830pm. We go inquire about the last call and our reservation being at 0745. They reassure us that we would still get the full 90 minute experience. At about 0800pm they tell us our table they thought would be available is not available, they say individual parties instead. A guy comes out and tells us that the time frame they gave us was an estimated time, we let him know that was not what were told, but we also got a text confirmation. He tells us, well the Weather is nice. We can accommodate you outside. We agreed. They got the tables all settled and we're about to sit down. The same older man tells us, that the last call is 0830PM, ummm what? They tell us well we can try and get everything in, but the last call is at 0830. You can stay until 0900, what?! I let him know that was not what there hostess had told us, we told him they said we'd still be served and given the 90 Minute experience. He said well I don't know why they told you that, I am going to have to go let them know that is not the case. It's now well past 0800pm and restaurants are closing soon and we are a large party. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. I was incredibly disappointed at how everything was handled, and how easy it was for the gentleman to just dismiss and shrug his shoulders like oh well. What was supposed to be a special celebration for our son's graduation turned into unnecessary stress and disappointment. We made the reservation based on the information their staff provided and planned accordingly, only to be told something completely different once we arrived. Had we been told upfront that they couldn't honor the full AYCE experience or accommodate our party as promised, we would have made other arrangements. After being loyal customers and recommending this place to family and friends, this experience made it clear that customer service and honoring commitments are not a priority. Unfortunately, that was our last visit For reference, when they sent the last text, we were already onsite.
