This was my first time going to an “AYCEAYCD” Omakase and I loved it! For 98 you get 14 courses plus 2 rounds of unlimited scallop/lean tuna/fatty tuna/unagi. The Omakase also includes all of the luxurious touches like caviar, Wagyu, uni, etc. My favorite bite of the night was the spot prawn. The chefs are super quick and the 80 minutes goes quick so enjoy!
Ambiance (5/5): The restaurant can fit 10 to 11 people at the counter. There were 2 small 2-person floor tables that were not being used. I liked how they had a coat hanger for us which helped with the bulk of our winter coats. Inside was brightly lit and low volume. Service (5/5): The counter had 2 sushi preppers and 1 server. The server had the best personality that brought a lot of excitement/entertainment to the experience! The sake pours were nice and heavy and ever flowing. Food (5/5): It is 98 for a 14-course omakase with AYCE (4 types of sushi available) and drink (sake, beer, and soft drinks) There’s 2 appetizers: Amberjack wrapped around a crisp Asian pear. The toro uni was not my favorite. Then there was a 10-piece sushi course. Everything tasted super fresh (apparently the shrimp consistency was the only piece that had a funny texture but tasted good). Followed by a 1 piece maki roll and 1 small homemade matcha ice cream! At the end of the 14-course meal, there are TWO rounds where you can order from the scallop, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and eel. Any piece left uneaten (including the rice) costs 6. The parties next to us were ordering like 20 pieces!! I was stuffed with an additional 6 piece order. Overall, the quality of the sushi was amazing. The value is worthwhile for the AYCE option as well.
So worth the price!!! 98 per person for 14 courses and two rounds of free sushi free drinks. The service was efficient and the sushi was superb!! The King Salmon, Lean Tuna, Botan Ebi, and Unagi were our favorites. We paid extra for additional pieces of salmon and shrimp. So happy I got to enjoy a dinner here.
Came for their omakase ( 2 services of unlimited order) and unlimited drinks. Intimate setting (less than 20 seats), great service and great food for a great night ! After a few drinks, everybody becomes friendly ! I especially liked their tuna and the scallop. **menu might change without notice, according to season :)
Another excellent AYCE Omakase sushi experience, can't say I'd get tired of this trend continuing. What differs at Hayashi is the options of Scallop, Tuna, Otoro & Unagi and 2 rounds of mixed orders. The pieces after end are large, same portion size as during the Omakase. Also serving large cups of sake that never gets close to empty. The chef was friendly and talkative the whole meal laughing and sharing stories with us. Ended up finishing 66 additional pieces, great weekend lunch. Can't wait to do it again in 6 month
I had a fantastic experience at Sushi Hayashi yesterday. From the food to the interaction with my server, everything was a 10/10. Each roll was out of this world. The fish was so fresh and buttery I am still thinking about it now. I was so pleased by Zack's humor and personality I am looking into hosting my bridal proposal there. This was my mother's first time trying omakase and he made it so special. He helped to make her chopsticks easier to use, and kept her sake flowing! The restaurant was small and intimate, making it such a relaxing vibe. Being able to add more sushi to your order at the end was a huge plus. I left so satisfied. I cannot wait to go back!
1000% will come back. When you hear all you can eat it makes, you worry about quality. All worries were quickly put to bed. Sushi Hayashi has excellent sushi and service. Delicious 14-piece Omakase is followed by 2 rounds of ordering as much as you want from a selection of 4 rolls (sea scallop, lean tuna, fatty tuna, and inagi). The vibe is lovely. Best for date night or dinner with a small group of friends
Very fun experience! They have a set time limit of 1 hour and 20 minutes for a 13 course menu before allowing you two opportunities to order as much sushi as you want from their unlimited menu (eel, scallop, lean tuna, fatty tuna). They charge 6 per piece of uneaten sushi, which includes the rice, so you'd better finish it all! I took down 10 additional pieces of nigiri as a conservative decision because I was there with my girlfriend. I'd definitely like to go back with a group of guy friends and eat maybe 20 pieces when we get to the AYCE part of the experience. The final and 14th course is their homemade matcha ice cream. Their house sake paired well with the sushi. Very friendly servers and chefs. Must make a reservation in advance. The sushi was excellent quality for an all you can eat omakase experience.
