Sat at the counter a for quick meal. There is a koi pond directly behind and other diners allowed their children to scream and taunt the fish making the atmosphere miserable for dining. The staff did nothing. I actually had to turn around and ask the kids if they could maybe not YELL indoors.

Nice Hibachi concept with water feature and coy fish, but food was to greasy and salty. Service was attentive and professional.

Unfortunately, after trying better Japanese restaurants in Lubbock, the novelty of being served hibachi-style doesn't outweigh the disappointing quality of the food. I ordered bento box A, which comes with teriyaki salmon, tuna and salmon sushi or sashimi, shrimp shumai, and vegetable and shrimp tempura. My issues with the items: the salmon was overcooked and chewy and lukewarm, the sashimi was fine but the tuna felt recently defrosted and very wet(?), the tempura was cold by the time my meal arrived (even if they were wanting to bring everyone in my party's food at the same time and the tempura was cooked earlier, this was disappointing to receive), and the shrimp tempura was done in a different style with panko breadcrumbs as opposed to typical tempura breading. Aside from that not being my preference, this did not taste fresh and the shrimp was sadly tough and chewy.
Not sure if the issues with the temperature of my items was due to lacking service or the cooks not timing things properly, but compared to places like Hokkaido and Yanagi which clearly prepare their food fresh, have better flavor, and serve customers quickly (for the same price!), Hayashi was subpar. Fun atmosphere, but definitely not where I am going for quality Japanese food in the city.
Andrew is a great bartender. Great convo and great service. Will most definitely be back to sit at the bar. Andrew is the familiar face that keeps us coming back!

I had a pick up order on New Year’s Eve, proportion of the hibachi order, looked similar to a kids order… I was kind of frustrated, it was hard to get through to the manager, but when I spoke to Zach, the manager, he told me that he would give me a full refund… Even though the sushi that I ordered was really good, the hibachi was just not what it usually is… Thank you for Zach making the order right, and giving me a full refund. I know they were probably totally busy on New Year’s Eve, and Zach handled it perfectly
