Hayashi Midtown - Lubbock

The food was so fresh and well prepared. I usually set a sushi place according to the quality of salmon-sashimi and was not disappointed. Large selection of rolls and cocktails. I was really pleasantly surprised in Lubbock from this place! Will definitely eat here for the next time. Our waitress Kasey was also AMAZING.

The fish in the salmon roll didn't look like salmon. Not bad, but clearly not salmon (I've caught enough to know; flesh was grey, not pink/red-orange). Salads were swimming in enough dressing for 3x the greens. Lettuce was fresh and crisp, but drowning. Only one fork for salad and main entree. Disposable bamboo chopsticks. The dinners were a saving grace. Both the hibachi teriyaki beef and hibachi steak plates were very good. Beef was tender and flavorful and veggies were firm but not crunchy. Fried rice was very good too. Might've been a one-and-done for us but the hibachi plates were good enough to repeat. Update: I discovered the morning after my visit my credit card was missing. I returned to Hayashi Midtown (last place I used the card) 15 minutes prior to them opening for lunch. They let me in and returned my card which they'd secured overnight in their cash register. The card had not been used. Extremely pleased with their collective integrity. Plus a star.

Love this location! Service is always great, and the food is wonderful. I had the Habachi Steak Shrimp.

Eating is so good! Service was also amazing! Pretty expensive, but worth it.

This was our first time here. JAY, our server was great. Wow! What a memory! He was very attentive, funny and professional. Food and presentation were fabulous. Will definitely be back.
