The food was delicious. This place deserves 4+
The food is delicious and portion sizes are quite large and the interior is spacious and aesthetic. The staff is also very professional and friendly. I especially enjoyed their tuna steak.
Delicious dinner, one of the best Chicken Teriyaki meals I have had. Beautifully presented. Excellent service and great value. Will be back soon!
Don’t know why this place has a 3/5. Definitely 4+/5
Nice little Japanese restaurant located at Birkenhead. We come here often for lunch with my colleagues.
The service was good and lunch menu tasty.
We shared a selection of sashimi. I had the Hiyashi lunch combo with spicy chicken and spicy pork.
The pork had a good kick and Smokey. Chicken was also sweet and spicy. Absolutely delicious! I would have liked more rice to go with the lunch because the flavours of the meat were so good.
Food: 5/5
Service: 5/5
Setting 4/5
I am a big fan of Japanese cuisine and I guess Hayashi is the best Japanese restaurant in Auckland! They serve freshest meal ever and staffs are so friendly! Highly recommend to everyone.
Great food and great service, had low expectation going in but really glad that we gave it a shot. price to portion was just right for me.
Definitely going back for more.
I liked variety of sashimi options nice and fresh. Good value for money. Ideal for casual dinner or just for drinking out. I will definetely visit again
Love this place, great tempura dishes, sashimi really fresh, beef yakiniku a little tough-flavour is really nice, oyster and mussel mayo yummy, gyozas delicate and tasty. Food is beautifully presented. Very friendly staff. Can be a bit of a wait if the place is full though. Highly recommend.
I totally agree with the comment below. Hayashi is definitely an underrated restaurant. Amazing food here - their spicy chicken is just divine and sashimi is always so fresh. They have the best chicken karaage in town as well. Excellent service from very attentive and friendly wait staffs. Would recommend to everyone.
I'm not sure why Hayashi is rated 2.3 at the moment as the food is amazing! I've been there about 4 times in the past month and have enjoyed all my meals. The takoyaki, pork gyoza, udon, prawn tempura sushi and salmon sashimi were so delicious! This is definitely an underrated restaurant that everyone should check out.
This place is a wee hidden Gem , first time there and LOVED IT!!!! Definitely going back and love to support local businesses, staff were friendly and the food was Amazing
Hands down, one of the best Japanese restaurants in Auckland (With a bit of Korean). Greeted indoors with a smile and served with excellent food, I would highly recommend this place. Food taste is very clean to the end and is very polished. I don't review this detailed but this place left me a great impression. Atmosphere is great while on late evenings it gets even quieter. Parking can be a hassle though. Would highly recommend.
Very delicious, highly recommend the spicy chicken yaki don.
Great food, fast and friendly service. Went in for a quick meal after a movie and it really hit the spot. Glad to see Hayashi survived the madness of the last few years and still going strong. One of Birkenhead's best restaurants.
Good service, lunch specials are of good values. Nice ambience and good seating spaces. Plenty on street parking. Popular with locals.
Without doubt, the food & refreshments, the service and the vibe elevate this fine establishment to be one of the best Japanese restaurants on Auckland's North Shore. Highly recommended. 🏯 1️⃣
... and they are really friendly so no Passport is required from visitors to the North Shore.🛂😁
Great food, great service, great ambience - what more could you want :-)
Come here a few times as it’s local, wasn’t expecting much and was pleasantly impressed. The staff are friendly and attentive and the food is delicious.
