Hayashi Buffet Reviews
Went for lunch today only to find it closed but multiple cars outside. I don’t know what’s going on but very disappointing. Ohana will be getting my business from now on, they were at least open today.
We made reservations to celebrate an occasion and when we showed up they accused us of lying about making a reservation and couldn't accommodate us. (The manager who took our reservation admitted to making a mistake but they wouldn't fit us in without an hour wait.) Very disappointing when our kiddos were excited and the host team came across unwelcoming and accusatory.
Food was amazing! I loved the selection

Hayashi Buffet is a popular Asian restaurant in Lubbock, consistently attracting repeat customers for years. With new management, the restaurant has improved even further. The establishment offers convenient amenities, including front door handicap parking, high chairs, and wheelchair accessibility. The outside of the building and the buffet area are beautiful, and the variety of food is amazing.
The food tastes great, but visitors should be cautious, as some dishes may cause food poisoning if left out too long. For the best experience, arrive right when they open to enjoy hot and fresh meals like hibachi, ribs, fried rice, and sugar puffs. The sushi, such as the California roll, can be disappointing if it has been sitting for a while. The staff is very nice and attentive.
Overall, Hayashi Buffet is a reliable choice, especially for families with kids who enjoy the ice cream and Jell-O treats. The price is about $20 per person, and it's a little cheaper during the week. While food quality can be inconsistent, visiting during peak hours ensures a better dining experience. The new management and owners have made the food extremely delicious, and the service is excellent.
