I hate leaving a bad review because I almost never do, especially for a place I've supported for years. I've been coming here since the day they opened, usually 3-4 times a month, and I've always had great experiences. My son will only eat vegetables if they're their hibachi vegetables, so we order them all the time. Even after they stopped offering hibachi vegetables as a side, they've always been kind enough to make them for us anyway. The staff has always been friendly, accommodating, and the food has consistently been amazing. Unfortunately, today's experience was completely different. I placed my order at 5:05 PM. I wasn't given a wait time, which was fine--I could tell they were busy on the phone, so I assumed it would take a while. I waited about 45 minutes before heading there, thinking my food would be ready. It wasn't. I ended up waiting even longer and didn't receive my order until around 6:05 PM, so over an hour after I placed it. While the wait was frustrating, I understood they were busy and wasn't upset about it. As I started driving home, I decided to check the bag because of how hectic things seemed inside. Sure enough, the yum yum sauce was missing. I had ordered both hibachi vegetables and a hibachi meal, which normally come with yum yum sauce and ginger sauce. I always ask to swap the ginger sauce for an extra yum yum sauce because I don't use the ginger sauce. I turned around and went right back. I politely explained that the yum yum sauce wasn't in my bag and asked if I could get the two yum yum sauces instead. The woman at the front looked at me like she didn't believe me, went to the back, came back with the sauces, and then asked if I had cash to pay for them. I was honestly shocked. I explained that the sauces were never in my bag to begin with and even offered to bring the bag inside if she wanted to see it. I had literally just left, realized they were missing, and drove straight back. It made no sense to be questioned or asked to pay for something that should have been included with my meal. To be clear, this wasn't about the money. Their food isn't cheap, and compared to other hibachi and sushi restaurants in the area, they're definitely on the pricier side. I'm there three or four times a month, so I probably spend $150-$200 there every month. If I had actually wanted extra sauce, I would have gladly paid for it. What bothered me was being asked to pay for something that should have already been in my bag. I had already waited over an hour for my food. If the sauces had been there, I would have gone home and eaten. I certainly wouldn't have driven back just to try to get free sauce. The only reason I turned around was because my son and I won't eat our hibachi without yum yum sauce--he literally won't touch it without it. What made the experience even more disappointing was the attitude. I've always known this restaurant for having friendly, welcoming staff, especially toward my son. Today, the woman at the front seemed irritated with almost everyone she interacted with, not just me. I also overheard another customer mention that she had been told her order would take 30-45 minutes, but she had been waiting much longer as well. If the kitchen is backed up, that's understandable, but giving customers a realistic estimate would go a long way. This one experience won't erase years of great food and excellent service, and I'll probably still come back because we genuinely love this restaurant. I just hope today's experience was an exception and not a sign that customer service is slipping. Waiting over an hour for food is one thing, but then having to drive back because part of the order was missing and being treated like I was trying to get free sauce was really disappointing. read more

The sushi was prepared fairly quickly and the restaurant itself was super clean. The food was great! You can tell they want to prepare high quality dishes and use fresh ingredients. We particularly enjoyed the tuna pizza, such a fun & light appetizer! They also gave us a free small appetizer while we waited which we thought was so kind! After our meal, they provided honeydew pieces to cleanse the platter. Would definitely return in the future! Glad to have found this place in Montgomery County. read more

Food was beyond mediocre and the price is outrageous. This place takes forever to make the food. How do you mess up a take out order? How do you mess up chicken teriyaki? Overall this place is overpriced and food is trash. Barf! read more

I have not been to this shop for a while; I was near by and decided to stop by. This review is strictly for their Tonkotsu Ramen. I noticed that they serve Ramen bowls now. Since I like Ramen bowl especially cold winter day, I ordered their Tonkotsu Ramen bowl. First off, it took quite long time this ramen bowl to be served...almost 30 minutes. This was a negative thing for sure. At a glance of served ramen bowl, it looked good. Size and toppings seemed to be promising after a long wait. First taste of Tonkotsu soup was...well, very luke warm, really. Soup of ramen bowl should be temperature hot accordingly; but this soup was really luke warm. It unfortunately tasted like very deluted Tonkotsu broth...no flavor but just tasted salt and weak hint of broth. Thin straight noodles were overcooked and mushed texture; this made it worse as noodles were also not hot. Toppings were generous, I shall say. Green beggie was refreshing and chashu pork was good. Hopefully they can improve serving time, soup temperature and noodle boil time. read more

I went probably half a dozen times in 2025. Every time the food was fresh and well prepared. The specialty rolls are great. On my last visit I had something called Snow White?? I think? It was a seasonal/ holiday roll and it was a winner. The service is great. Everyone knows the menu and when asked, make excellent recommendations. I highly recommend this place. read more

First time and and food and service was amazing! Ordered a Super Lobster Roll, Phoenix Roll and a Yraffic Light Roll. Amazing! read more

I can finally get some great sushi without having to drive 20+ minutes away from home. The ambiance is bright and clean. Even though I opted for takeout for this visit, the staff was courteous. I ordered the miso soup with a spicy tuna roll and the twin salmon roll. So happy with the soup which had a good ratio of seaweed to silken tofu. The spicy tuna is just a staple item for me. Their twin salmon is so good! The sashimi grade tuna and salmon used for the rolls is of high quality. Waiting for my husband to take me back for a date night haha! read more

Food and service were great, everything was fresh and prepared well. Everything came out very quickly and as far as sushi goes they were comparable to most of the other places in this area. The atmosphere does have a bit of a fast food vibe to the dining room, it's bright and not very intimate. With that said the prices are more on the side where you'd think the dining experience should be more personal. Not that the food quality wasn't good it just wasn't to the caliber of the price alone. Overall, I would rate this as a would go back if I was near by, but wouldn't go out of my way to dine here again. read more

Had a glass ball or plastic (cant tell because its so small) in my chicken hibachi meal. I threw out the rest of my meal after chomping down on this. Im glad I didnt chip a tooth or swallow this. I won't be ordering from here ever again. read more

The traffic light roll I ordered had spoiled tuna. It's not fresh at all. Why would you serve it at all?

Great service, very attentive. Excellent fresh sushi, wonderful presentation. Wasabi was a good consistency, spicy mayo is tasty. Miso soup, veggie tempura, salad with a fresh mango ginger dressing with a garlicky heat. Rolls we had were Califormia, spicy tuna, black dragon, green dragon, veggie and dessert was a mango sago. They did a cute green tea ice cream dessert for our birthday girl. read more

New Year's Eve Sushifest at our house. Everything was excellent. Plus some Hibachi Chicken, Calamari and veggies. Wished the sushi rolls were labeled or individually packaged (we could not tell what was what)...but that could be an us issue as we are still learning what we like. read more

I don't even want to write this because I want this place to be my little secret but that wouldn't keep them in business so I must do what's best for all parties and it would be a shame to try and keep this place from the world. The food... incredible and somehow the presentation is just as good. Growing up in Asia I've had some good sushi in my life and for this to be so comparable in the random town of Souderton PA it's truly a miracle. If you like sushi or don't this is the place for you because I'm sure it will change your mind even if you don't like sushi. read more

Had several different rolls, very fresh and very tasty! Reasonably priced as well, great new addition to Souderton!

We had dinner there, it was fantastic. Miso was so good. The Kani salad and Seafood Ceviche salad both excellent. The tuna was so fresh in the Ceviche. Our main was Tuna Lovers and Shrimp Tempura roll, just amazing. Great atmosphere, very bright and open. The waitresses were great, so polite, and took care of everything. You have to try Hayabei Sushi. read more

Sashimi pieces were spoiled. Very disappointed because the sushi, sashimi and rolls have been great the past 4+ times we've ordered. But today, we ordered two Chirashi bowls and rolls, and the white tuna sashimi pieces were spoiled. Both people eating the Chirashi had to spit it out and dispose the leftover food. I did inform the restaurant, but the owner was out of office. Unfortunately, we will not be going back. read more

Had the BEST dinner here! The staff were so attentive & kind. We got edamame (which had the perfect amount of salt and came out hot) and 6-piece Gyoza (pork potstickers) and Phoenix Roll (a tiny bit spicy) as appetizers, and we loved all of them! For dinner, I got the Filet Mignon Hibachi with fried rice and veggies which was also awesome. Ambiance is cute, clean, well-lit, and has nice new decor. read more

Great Value,excellent service,wide variety make Hayabei a top choice for sushi or sashimi,plated beautifully

Two words.. THE BEST!! Stopped in here for lunch & had one of the best sushi meals my wife & I have ever had. All of the staff were super nice & service was great. Everything was very clean & new! The house salad & miso soup were delicious to start. Then I had the tuna poke salad which was so fresh & tasty. Then for the entrees we enjoyed various sushi rolls & nigiri combos. All were outstanding- all of the fish was very fresh, tender, sliced well, & the rice was soft & cooked to perfection. Also, everything that was tempura'd was great... delicate yet had tasteful crunch on the outside. We also enjoyed a nice little mochi dessert which was made to perfection. We're so glad to have found this place. Officially now the best sushi place in the neighborhood that the Perkasie area was missing! Excited to come in for dinner very soon, but now whether for dine in or takeout, this will be our go to place for sushi & Japanese cuisine! Thanks!! read more

Disappointed. Order was wrong. Got dry limp tough Octopus instead of Sea Trout. Sea Eel was dry and over salted. Inconsistent, some of the Sashimi was a generous size, but they couldn't bother to cut it into standard sashimi bite sizes. In addition to all of the above, it took them twice as long to deliver the order than estimated. I am only 9 min away. Glad I did not drive to pick it up. I will not be recommending this restaurant and will not be ordering from them ever again. read more

Very attentive service and fresh preparations. The veggie tempura a wonderful starter. Seafood soup with lucious soba noodles and colorful Traffic Stop roll left us quite satisfied! read more

best sushi in the area, hands down. the place has a very clean, minimalist yet earthy feel and plays lyric free spa-like piano music. they execute your meal quickly and it is delivered to appetize the eye. of course the sushi is very fresh and delicious as well. i will be coming back to this spot as a staple in my work-lunch rotations. read more

Great Food- The service was out of this world. Good prices and selection. I would Highly Recommend

I discovered this gem by chance - was going somewhere else and it was closed so looked on yelp for others in the area that were really good and it popped up - excellent quality sushi, excellent service, very clean and nice spacious place. I will definitely come again even though it is a bit far from where I live!! read more

We have experienced Hayabei a few times now since they opened. We have eaten in and have done take out. The service has been excellent every time. Chloe is personable and attentive and Calvin has made us quality rolls based on our pallet. It's such a pleasure to feel welcome and have a wonderful experience consistently. I highly recommend visiting. You won't be disappointed. read more

Everything was very good. Food was tasty and presented nicely. The only nock was that it seemed to take a while to get my food (but it was worth the wait). I would definitely return. read more

I seldom write reviews, but Hayabei Sushi absolutely warrants one. I visited with friends, and we were all impressed by the clean, open interior. Moreover, the staff was simply wonderful -- I know they just opened a few months ago, but our waitress went above and beyond to make our experience great and ensure we could try some things. For example, she brought out soup for all of us to have, on the house, even though only one of us actually ordered it. Additionally, for dessert, one of us only ordered the mochi, but she brought out an extra sample plate for us to try, once again on the house. This is how you build business and loyal customers! The gyoza and sushi were fresh and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more
