Ordered the caterpillar roll, the Snow White roll, American dream .They were so good. Haven’t had good quality sushi in a while and this was truly refreshing. My family and I enjoyed every bite of this order and we are sure to come back. Service was excellent, lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Wonderful experience here! The sushi was tasty, the fish tasted fresh, and the service was great! The waitress was very attentive and nice, while also giving us space to enjoy our meal.
The only minor critique about the atmosphere is the lack of music, it felt a bit quiet and it was easy to hear the nearby table.
Overall this is a wonderful neighborhood sushi spot and I plan on coming here often in the future!

Hayashi Sushi has very good high quality food and the staff are very professional and have great customer service skills. Keep up the good work on the care you take with the food and the cleanliness of your dine in restaurant. Additionally The Menu is in this reviews photos if any future customers want to see what’s on the Menu in July 2025.

Hayashi Sushi is one of the most welcoming places I’ve ever eaten at. The sushi is top-tier — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — but what truly makes this place special is the owner. He’s incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about giving customers a great experience.
You always feel appreciated here, whether you’re dining in or picking up takeout. The staff checks in often, makes great recommendations, and everything runs smoothly. It’s rare to find such a perfect combination of quality food and exceptional service. This is my go-to sushi spot in Philly!

First of all. Parking was pretty easy for that neighborhood so that’s a plus. The service was quick and great. I asked questions and got clear answers. Probably took like 15/20 minutes which is normal. It was fresh. Wasn’t really busy but a few people was leaving when I was coming and some people was were coming when I was leaving.

I’ve ordered from Hayashi Sushi once before and had a decent experience, but tonight was different. After waiting 20 minutes in my car, I came in and the guy at the counter made things unnecessarily awkward. Instead of asking for my name or checking the order, he had me list every item. Then we went back and forth about what I ordered versus what he claimed I paid for. It was confusing, uncomfortable, and could’ve been simple if he just clarified.
When I got home, the food wasn’t the same as it used to be. The rice was gummy, two pieces of the California roll had no fish, and the Toro I paid $15 for was just regular tuna. (See pic—clearly not Toro.) The gyoza was good, but overall it wasn’t worth it.
Not looking for a template response. Just letting you know—the guy working tonight shouldn’t be in customer service and I’m never coming back.
Update: I saw the response. To clarify—the issue isn’t that the tuna wasn’t “to my liking.” I specifically asked if they had Toro, she said yes, and then gave me regular tuna.
This isn’t about preference; it’s about being charged for something I didn’t get. They passed off regular tuna as Toro and took my money for it. That’s the problem.
And as for the part timer, not an excuse. I payed “full time money”. 0 shot of me coming back there. This review is just meant for other people to make a better decision.

Stayed at the Sheraton Four Points and found Hayashi for dinner. Small but comfy dining area, we were the only patrons so service was top notch. Food was fresh with great presentation at a reasonable price. Street parking. No alcohol.

Best sushi in the neighborhood. Try their lunch specials 11.00AM-3.00PM – great value for amazing sushi. Always fresh and with plenty of options. Lin and her husband have been running this place instead of her sister for some years now. We’re regulars for over 5 years and do it on almost weekly basis. Philly roll for example is with fresh salmon and avocado (and cream cheese) so little bit of a twist to the same old same old – highly recommended.
(they always throw in small gifts for the takeout’s – like Pokey Asian sweets or other types of small items)

WE LOVE HAYASHI SUSHI! Affordable and generously portioned sashimi/chirashi, good 3 roll lunch and dinner specials, and yes – it’s worth it to try the duck/shrimp roll hot appetizer. I occasionally do dine in and get takeout here more often than any sane person would admit, but it’s always a good deal and nice people!
