The ingredients are so fresh and so good! My fav are tiger, rainbow and california. Everything was so good.

Despite all the hype I saw on IG, we left underwhelmed. Service was okay--our server was kind, but not very attentive. I asked for lemon in my water, and he forgot about it. We started with the yellowtail carpaccio. It was fresh, but it felt like it was missing something. Other sushi restaurants usually dress it up with a sauce or toppings that give it more depth. The sushi was overall average--very middle-of-the-road. The Hot Summer Roll wasn't great; the chopped tuna gave it a strange texture we didn't enjoy. On the other hand, I did like the Tataki Tuna Roll--the seared tuna was thick and a little odd, but overall the roll worked. We were drawn to these rolls because of their "unique" sauces (mustard, soy, and garlic), but honestly, you could barely taste them, so the flavors fell flat. The miso soup was lukewarm, which was just disappointing. Luckily, we had to stop by the market nearby, so the drive didn't feel like a total waste. But overall, I wouldn't rush back. read more

I absolutely love this place - would pick over volcano any day ! I'm glad this place has stayed open over the years, I've been coming here for at least 10! read more

Always great service! The freshest sushi around. Very clean restaurant and lovely decor.

The overall vibe is great! Very clean, courteous staff, excellent options. Overall would definitely recommend!

The rolls we ordered were solid. Sadly they do not offer bento boxes on the weekends as it is only a weekday lunch special.

In the middle of a strip mall, it looked like a very small place from the outside. But it turns out that although narrow, it's deep and accommodated like a dozen tables. There was a small sushi bar, but no one sat there whilst we were there. Came in for a quick lunch on a Fri with a work friend. There was only one table when we arrived but maybe half a dozen when we left. They seem to do some decent lunch business. There was a sushi chef and only one server. Pretty sure there's at least another person in the kitchen. But this server was running around trying to do everything: take orders, get patrons what they want, do the to-go, etc. He did seem to be running slightly haggard. We both got the bento boxes, knowing what to expect when you get bento boxes. Sigh. Yah, everything was just okay. It came with a Miso Soup, small Salad, pan-seared Gyoza, and a California Roll. I also got a side of Tuna Sashimi, which was cut very small and thin, but for the price it was okay. By the time we were trying to leave, the server was so busy and we had to wait while he was checking out all the to-go folks. Finally we just went up to the front to pay our bill. read more

Delicious! I haven't been here in a while and it's been remodeled; very calm and inviting atmosphere. We started with the gyoza, then ordered a classic Philly Roll, Spicy Spicy, and the Yellowtail Lovers that was recommended. The service was excellent! This is a local gem! With the new ownership, it's better than ever. read more

The original owner of Hayashi's always had good sushi. But their service got a little weird around Covid and afterwards they closed down 2 to 5 every day and started requiring reservations even at lunch and even when nobody else is in the restaurant so I stopped going. Felt a little nostalgic for an old roll I used to get called the hot summer roll so I came back to try the restaurant under new ownership. It is everything the restaurant should've been in the past and definitely worth coming back. I recommend the hot summer roll and or the spicy salmon. read more

Under new management! The team may be new but the rolls are still outstanding. Love their poke roll, best I've had there so far. Namesake Hayashi roll is also very good. Family had spicy salmon and spicy cowboy and loved the flavor on those as well. Service is prompt and outstanding. Clean interior. Will definitely be back regularly. So excited to have good sushi in south OKC! read more

Under new management but same great sushi. This is a south side gem! Service was great and like I said the sushi was delicious! I opted for the Hot summer roll and if you like a little spice it'll do the job. read more

I have been coming here for 16 years. I was nervous when the owners sold and left, but it's still the best sushi place in town. Our server was very good and attentive. I love the new update in restaurant, it's so cute for a date night, it's elevated. We got the hot summer roll (never disappoints), spicy cowboy, spicy garlic edamame, and miso soup. read more

As of June 2025, this family has taken over the restaurant and they are SO kind. They care about their customers and the food they serve. If you have questions about the menu they gladly answer and give wonderful suggestions. The inside gives off a cozy feeling. I recommend the Gangster Roll and the Salmon Lover if you like fresh and straightforward rolls. My friend got the Albacore Lover Roll and the Poke Roll, both very unique and flavorful. Definitely will be going back! read more

Amazing sushi! Hayashi has new management. They were great! Very kind server, I saw someone new was at the sushi counter. I was worried the rolls may be different since I had only had the older gentleman there before make it. Sushi was still as good as ever! Sushi chef waved and said a nice goodbye. If you want good quality sushi come here! (If the old owners see this) I will miss you! I have been dining here for 10 years and always enjoyed seeing you both and see that you're doing well. I hope you both have a good retirement! read more

Please give this place a try if you're looking for good sushi in south OKC. I visit this area often but have never been in. However, we were looking to try something new and decided to stop in tonight. The service was great and they were very friendly. The food was also fantastic and very fresh. It's a very unassuming place from the outside but the outside is very warm and welcoming. Definitely do yourself a favor and give this place a go. We can't wait to come back read more

New owner but same family. A nephew of the original owners has taken over. The old chef/ owners are retiring and are teaching the new chef/owner the sushi until the crossover has been finished. We ordered the Volcano, Rock n roll, Dragon, and the Heart Attack. Same great sushi, but the new guy is a fresh change of the experience. He was very adamant about telling me he was the new owner, lol. We may "dine in" again for the first time in a long time, lol. It's such a great dining space, too. It needs to be occupied with customers, lol. read more

This is the best sushi I have ever had and I travel quite often. My husband and I love the Hot Summer Roll, but you can go wrong with anything they make. Their sushi is top grade and flown in fresh. To top it off, their service is exceptional! read more

I came by with some friends for dinner Saturday. Its been awhile since i ate there because some people where leaving bad reviews because of the older lady who used to worked there. They said she was mean to them. The sushi was good as i remembered. The sushi reminded me of the sushi I ate in places like Los Angeles and Las Vegas. It had extra flare to it to make it unique yet traditional. It wasn't like your typical sushi you see everywhere. I can tell they put alot of effort and attention into making the sushi. I will definitely come back for more. I really enjoy the nice service and attention the sushi chef gave me. They try to see what i like and they make recommendations for me. As for the mean lady everyone talks about, i kinda miss not seeing her. She not there anymore. She wasnt that bad in the past. I guess it only takes a few people to influence others. As for the sushi, i love it. The lady? She made me laugh and smile. Too bad she is not there anymore. read more
