I skipped the sushi and had a chicken hibachi plate with fried rice. It was delicious. Portions were generous. Service was friendly and knowledgeable. For a weekday lunch, they were fast and the atmosphere was great! Not too loud, very comfortable. Will definitely be back! read more

The sushi was great, the service was ok. But the number of people in the restaurant made us a little nervous. I would visit again post COVID. read more

If you don't like the Hibachi show but like the food then this is where you should come. The food is very similar to the restaurant at 82nd but you won't find any hibachi in the dining area. They do have an extensive Sushi and Sashimi menu. The whole menu is expanded. The food is good. read more

Much better now that they renovated the non hibachi seating. Much more of an open feel. Sometimes a bit more sauce on the sudhi rolls than I like, but they do a good job and are consistent. read more

My go-to for sushi. I've tried many of the rolls because I can't seem to remember what I ordered the previous time. But I've never been disappointed! read more

got food poisoning from the sweet potato roll or spicy mayo... not even sure how. waiter was also rude when he brought out the order incorrectly. been here many times and i always order the same thing. won't ever go back now read more

This would be an excellent place for appetizers and drinks, possibly even sushi, but it was not what we ordered tonight. We had an incredibly inattentive waiter. He did nothing for us until a woman that I assume is a manager fussed at him gently. He took our drink order, me water and my husband tea and came back with them 10 minutes later and promptly left. Once again we saw the manager person prompt him to take our order and he shuffled over and got our appetizer order and with me calling after him to let us order our entrees he shuffled off again not to return until prompted to bring our appetizer and take our order. I'm not sure why I was so excited to order my entree as the appetizer was the best thing we had. We ordered the Texas Star and it was great which naturally had me anticipating a great entree. It was not my night. I chose the Teriyaki Steak and it came with some great steamed veggies and plain white rice no seasoning with a cold tough piece of beef sliced in large pieces on top that was dipped in what tasted like cheap bottled sauce from the dollar store. I picked around and made the best of it leaving 3/4 on the plate. When I asked for the ticket the waiter brought it and as he stood there I asked him to wait as my husband had his credit card almost out of his wallet but he walked off...once again the manager person prompted him back to get our bill completed. I left feeling sorry for the nice manager person, but not sorry enough that I recommend anyone try this place. read more

Went on a Friday night and it was busy, not unexpected, but no host greeted us and our server was unapologetic about our having to wait. He was in a hurry and acted as if everything we asked for was a burden. My boyfriend ordered the udon noodle soup (I think it was called Nikomi) and it was not good. Barely any meat, odd taste and the noodles were chewy. My hibachi chicken was average. I ordered two small servings of saki without knowing the price and they turned out to be $14.00 each. Ridiculous. Our sushi appetizer was good but there are many other places I can go for sushi. I will not come back here. read more

I love Hayashi. It was so delicious. I came here on a Bumble date and it did not disappoint. Honestly get anything from here and it will be amazing. My date and I had a great time. Drinks were superb. Definitely get some saki! read more

My husband and I were craving sushi and this place hit the spot. Staff was friendly, location was clean and food was delicious! read more

Hayashi Midtown - My husband and I were craving sushi and this place hit the stop. Staff was friendly, location was clean and food was delicious! - Japanese Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

a family i know are regulars at this place but one night they were charged for the dinner combo plate when they ordered and received the children's plate. something was mentioned to the server just to clear things up and unexpectedly, the manager comes out to have a word but does it so unprofessionally, basically yelling at them, assuming they have repeatedly done this in the past where they supposedly order the children's plate but change it to the dinner combo plate so they don't get charged for it; basically coming at them for something they have never done. the manager would not even let the woman of the family speak, just outright throwing blame with no evidence. i feel like they might have mistaken that family for another family but the way the situation was handled was extremely poor and unprofessional. would not recommend this place because their customer service is shit!!! also after reading a couple more reviews, i realized there may be more than one manager or person in charge, the manager my friend dealt with was a woman. read more

I keep forgetting to review this place. However, this is the place that my boyfriend and I go to whenever we're craving sushi. We're from Clovis so we drive to get our fix. I'm not quite used to the cost because I'm originally from the west coast but this is some the better sushi I've had since coming to the Midwest. I would definitely recommend this place. They are always friendly and the food/presentation is great! read more

Go for the lunch specials! Super reasonable and great food! I've only as great waiters here as well. I go for the Eel Roll or the lunch hibachi special. read more

I really like their food. The service is good and friendly. They are quick and clean. Great place to grab a lunch.

I go here every time I'm in town for business. This is the best sushi I have found in Lubbock. Can't beat the 2 for $22 on Tuesdays and Thursdays! Give it a try! You won't be disappointed.... read more

Love how close it is, the west Texas roll is a must, on Thursday's you get the best deal!

Atmosphere was nice, prices were good, but food was a little lacking. The onion soup seemed very thick and greasy from what I am used to and the vegetables and fried rice seemed flavorless. When we went to pay, we had a charge on the ticket for my soda that the waiter never brought out. We brought this to his attention and he quickly amended the issue. read more

I've actually never eaten here, I have only called ahead and picked up orders for others. Most of the time I've had no issues and I haven't had to wait long, but that's not always the case. I've had to go back and pick up more food because they messed up an order, I wasn't too happy and I didn't really get anything out of going back since the food wasn't for me, they just told me it wouldn't be any extra, which is dumb since that is a given. read more

Was so excited to try this place having just moved to Lubbock and reading good reviews. HOWEVER, the service was mediocre and the fish did not taste fresh. Giving them the benefit of the doubt we ate our meal and tipped well only to end up SO SICK for the next two days. Never again. read more

For lack of options, this resto will serve you okay 'Japanese' food. I find their miso soup lukewarm and salty.

I'll start by saying I'm pretty sure both my wife and I have a different view of what good sushi is vs most others in Lubbock. We love sushi and have had it all over the US and and abroad and have had some pretty amazing stuff. So with that disclaimer Hyashi (both mistown and the other one) has pretty average food. The rolls aren't bad but are pretty lack the flavor and creativity of better sushi. I know many people that love the place but we have left dissapointed with the food on both visits. On the good side the service was quite good and the decor is very upscale with a Vegas vibe. East Moon Asian is more reasonably priced and frankly has better sushi. read more

This place has some of the best fried rice around. I normally get the fried California roll with extra spicy mayo... super good! I was sad when I found it the place had caught fire, but am happy they're back! Wish they had happy hour sushi like ohana does though! read more

I had a beef egg roll with a spicy mayo sauce and it was amazing, bento box c which is huge and a wide variety on it and it came with salad and soup. I didn't care for the soup as it lacked flavor. The fried ice cream was food to others, but if you have texture issues like me.. skip it. Everyone else loved it. All sushi rolls that we all tried were fresh, quick and amazing! read more

Definitely will be back! We started off with soup (hot and sour) which was good. Then we got the spider roll, the salmon roll, and one other. Our waiter was incredibly attentive, very kind, and even told us what some of his favorites were. Also, it was very affordable and everything was set at a fair price. Overall, great date at a great place! read more

I am a sushi lover and eat it often. Not from Texas and absolutely loved it here!! Was by far the best experience ever!!! Was super fresh and so many rolls to choose from!!! Our waitress Michelle was the best ever!!! Made the experience so unforgettable!! Will definitely be going back while we are here!!! Highly recommended!!! read more

See all

Sooooo I will never be coming back here. I got two rolls. The shrimp tempura roll and the spicy tuna roll. The shrimp roll was awesome. I loved it... But the spicy tuna roll was awful. I order the spicy tuna roll where ever I go, but this one... Ugh. The tuna had the consistency of canned tuna and kinda looked like it. But, being young and stubborn, I ate most of it anyway. An hour later I am regretting it. It started with the stomach cramps and the rumbles and now, well, let's just say I'm not leaving the sight of my bathroom anytime soon. Never. Going. Back. read more

Me and my husband love to go here to get some good Japanese food. I live this place, the favors are always on point. As for the sushi I don't know because I'm not a sushi fan. I must say this is the best place in town for some good Japanese food. They never seem to disappoint. read more

Great food, atmosphere, service. We eat here on avg probably once a week. The sushi is delicious.

Best sushi in Lubbock. Hands down. I've been here well over 10 times and have never had a bad experience. Great place to go on a serious date. 8/10 would recommend. read more

the hibachi was really yum! the sushi rolls on the other hand weren't so yum. i picked this place on a whim because i was hungry but lent season limited me to only eating seafood. i don't regret it! our server was very nice and attentive and often checked on us. i ordered salmon hibachi and my boyfriend ordered steak and salmon hibachi, a spicy salmon roll, and the pink dragon. we both really enjoyed our hibachi-portions were worth the price! the only downside is that you have to pay extra to have fried rice rather than white rice with your hibachi. we both had white rice and the rice was honestly really nice! it was nice a fluffy and it wasn't dry. it was perfect rice. the salmon roll on the other hand wasn't as nice. it was kind of odd looking and my boyfriend said it didn't taste very good. the pink dragon and okay. it was cute and worth a snap on your story but the taste was pretty average. the taste of alcohol overpowered all the other flavors so it wasn't all that enjoyable. it also came out pretty late-mid meal despite my boyfriend ordering it before our food came out. which was fine they just kind of took a while. it was also only 8 bucks so honestly, it's not all that bad. overall, this place is great. i would definitely come back if i ever come back to lubbock! read more

Restaurant smells like wet dog. Ordered miso soup that smelled and tasted like dirty dishwater. The bowl the soup was served in was so hot it burned my hand. It obviously had been microwaved for far too long. The prices are also excessive. Really, there's no reason to go here. read more

I went on a Bumble date here last week and the food was SOOO good! I would definitely recommend going.It made meeting someone for the first time online a lot easier. The service was fast and friendly and I had no issues. Plus their sushi is amazing!! read more

I have excellent service every single time I dine in, which is pretty frequently. Gabriel is typically my server. He does a phenomenal job. He's always on top of his game, filling my water before it's even close to empty! I never leave disappointed. If you eat here, ask for Gabe. He's fabulous! read more

Nice little sushi spot. I had the shrimp tempura, the spider roll, and gyoza. All were excellent. This is the first place in Lubbock I've had sushi and it was much better than I expected. I sat at the bar and the service was great. They also have a really good lunch special every day of the week. I'll definitely come back. read more

I live out in Clovis and probably about once a month or so I make the two hour drive to get sushi from here. It's absolutely worth it

Hands down THE BEST SUSHI in Lubbock. Love this place. Just try the samurai roll! Don't skip out on this place. Wait staff is awesome. Food is quick. read more

I don't know how this place has 4 stars. The service is very nice, but the food is disappointing and almost inedible. I ordered the Teriyaki chicken. The chicken was bland and the fried rice tasted like a wet animal. Literally, it's not an exaggeration. It tasted like what a dog smells like. My partner got the sushi that had a very very thin layer of rice around it. It was mediocre at best. Our server, Gage, was very attentive and nice however. The most appetizing part of our experience was the water. read more

Haven't tried much sushi in Lubbock besides grabbing some from the grocery store now and then, but I was so happy I finally did! The Jay Roll and the Hot and Spicy Tuna roll were fantastic and the waitress we had was one of the nicest people I've ever been served by! She answered all our questions and gave us free soup in addition to being very knowledgeable about the sake selection. Will definitely go here again! read more

Service was great...Sean took excellent care of us and was knowledgeable of the menu. Suggested the "jay roll". It was delicious!! Tempura shrimp cream cheese avocado jalapeño and crab! Yummy! Found our new favorite sushi joint ;) read more

Overrated for sure. Most of the rolls are average. Don't order anything that isn't part of the special rolls menu. Overpriced due to lack of quality. Service is great though and the restaurant area itself is nice. read more
