there's way too much mayonnaise on every roll..screaming O roll starts to taste like the piano roll, then soon your palate can't distinguish the difference at all b/c everything taste like spicy mayonnaise.

I would go back for the fresh raw fish, such as my favorite, the blue tuna..it was the best. Other than that, take it easy on ordering too many rolls, they start to taste the same.

My son bought us a gift certificate for this restaurant. as a Christmas present. He did the same thing last year and we enjoyed it so much that he did this again this year. My husband had an operation in December and ran into complications that left him ill for at least 3 months,and I wanted to wait until he felt better to use this treat. When we went to pay, the waitress said that the gift certificate had expired. I had never heard of a gift certificate having an expiration date, and was unaware of one on this one. We asked for the manager and he was very arrogant and gave us a hard time. My son paid full price for this gift, no coupon or discount was used. After about 20 minutes they reluctantly let us use it. I will never visit this place again and warn people about the attitude of the management. There are plenty of new, excellent Japanese restaurants in the area.

My wife an I eat Sushi about once every two weeks. We have tried many many places in Raleigh and we have tried a number of the claimed hot spots. We usually give a place a couple chances. We have now eaten at Hyashi about 5 or 6 times and every time has been great. We have settled in now and this is our place. If you like Mura or Sushi Blues, but don't like the prices, try Hayashi. It is way better than Tokyo House (Ok), Mizu Sushi (not good), Waraji (ok) , or Shaba Shabu (terrible) and it is reasonibly priced and a decen atmosphere.

We have dined at Hayashi at least a dozen times and maintain it is the best Sushi dining experiene in the area, and we have tried many. Quality is excellent, presentation exquisite, with an attentive and friendly staff. Highly recommend!!!!

Just tried this place for the first time the other day, and was quite pleased. I cannot yet speak for the sashimi quality since I only ordered rolls, but the ingredients were outstanding. The atmosphere is elegant and classy, with stone and wood throughout the restaurant. The wait staff and sushi chefs were friendly and attentive. My order came out fast and had a wonderful presentation. I would recommend giving this place a try. I will have to return several times and try more items before giving them five stars, but so far they are well on their way. Oh.. and be sure to try the spider roll. Their tempura is fantastic! :-)
