Hayashi Mayple

Hayashi Mayple is such a hidden gem for sushi lovers. Their specialty roll menu is HUGE, with so many creative and unique options that it was honestly hard to choose. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully made. We ordered the American Dream, Angel, and Long Island rolls — each one was packed with flavor and had its own unique twist. You can really tell they put thought into their rolls instead of serving the same standard combinations you find everywhere else. The service was also excellent. Our waitress was so friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Between the amazing sushi and great atmosphere, this is definitely a spot we’ll keep coming back to.

I used to go to Hayashi Maple fairly often as it was close to my house and I really enjoy Japanese food but their prices are so expensive after discovering things like Kintaro where you can get sushi and a hot pot for just $18 unlimited at lunchtime which there it is also made fresh and they have high-quality specialty roles that are all included they’re $20 for a bento box on Sundays ridiculous price. I’ve also had bad experiences with the waitress telling me that I could substitute white rice for fried rice and then charging me extra afterwards and not mentioning that upfront it seems like they’re constantly trying to charge extra for things because probably not many people go there because the prices are so high it’s a convenient location if it didn’t cost so much I would Go. At the high prices mixed with the rude service I’ve gotten from the waitresses recently makes it not feel worthwhile. Also I got the pork tonkatsu and it was not very good it had two pieces of fried pork with a small bowl of fried rice which apparently is 2 1/2 dollars extra it didn’t come with a curry sauce like it served with in Japan it was some weird vinegar flavor that I didn’t think was very pleasant. I do think they are bento is tasty and $15 when you can get it at lunchtime isn’t a bad price but It’s hard to get it for that price and the waitress makes me not want to go back. To be clear though I have had some positive experiences in the past with the waitresses so potentially it might still be just how it ended up being.

We usually enjoy dining here, but we have not visited in a while. Tonight we ordered 3 items for pickup, we even added gratuity for the gentleman who took our order - we simply requested extra sauce. Not only were we charged for extra sauce, but we did not receive ANY sauce - we didn’t even receive the sauce that should have come with our dinners. My son had to drive back up to the restaurant to pick up the sauce, and the gentleman did not offer any concession. How hard is it to simply check 3 item order before you give it to the customer? Another disappointing aspect is the salad - see photo, nothing has been eaten - this is EXACTLY how it was received. So it was a $60 bill plus 15% tip - definitely not worth the trouble or expense for a pickup order that required a second trip. Sad to see the quality of customer service and food has deteriorated. Hopefully Hayashi can turn things around before it meets the same fate of the other former restaurants in that plaza.
