Our favorite sushi restaurant outside of the city. Completely unassuming location with easy parking. The food is spectacular and the staff is amazing. We marvel every time we go at just how quickly our order(s) are ready.
Unreservedly recommend this place!! Dates, kids, get together with a few friends, this place is great for all of them.
Our family has had sushi on the east and west coast and this adorable little place beats Nobus...great service, excellent sushi.
As a military wife I've lived a few places and this place serves one of the freshest sushi I've ever had! Staff is the standard of what other restaurants need to be...Really enjoyed our appetizer Beef Maki (so tender!) and my entree Seafood Udon, I'll definitely be returning!
Was my first time coming here and loved it. Staff is super friendly. Food is flavorful and delicious! I tried the sky roll and it was awesome. My husband is a big sake fan, loved the karatamba. This is a place to go with friends you will not be disappointed.
Always a terrific meal at Hayashi. The sushi chef, John, is a terrific guy and always willing to make you something unique off the menu. Give it a try, you will NOT be disappointed.
I love this place. The sushi is amazing and the udon is delicious. It is my go-to sushi spot.
First time here.. Great sushi!! Very fresh and delicious. My favorite was the Bloody Tuna Roll and Heart Roll!! Staff was very nice too. Can't wait to eat there again.
Awesome food and service. Love this place. Maki rolls are awesome!
Great food, customer service, and ambience. Will be back!
A very small quaint sushi place, custom sushi and great people that work there.
I come down from Kenosha to eat here. It's my favorite!!!
Love the food there! Everything is always delicious, and reasonably priced! One of our favorite hang outs!
Hands down our favorite sushi place. Thank you Mr. Kim and your beautiful family for always being so kind to us!
Amazing food and Service! My favorite sushi spot!
This is one of the best sushi places in Gurnee. They are incredibly attentive and it is so delicious! I will always come back here
Great staff, clean and sooo good!!!
Ninja Turtle Roll and Bloody Tuna Roll. That is all.
had a wonderful birthday dinner with my family tonight. thank you to all the staff, especially Katie and Michelle for their wonderful hospitality. awesome service.
Food is wonderful and the service is fantastic!!!!
I had a really good experience when I came here. My favorite item was the Smoked Salmon. Very good. Very rich with smoke flavor and a creamy buttery after taste. I could eat so much of that, but I had to stop. The appetizers were tasty, and the entrée filled me up, so I needed a to go box. Luckily, I got my left overs back to the fridge before they got room temp. It was worth the money, but it was still not a bad price.
Just had sushi with my daughter. We both thought it was great. Food was exceptional, but service was better. The servers seem to remember everyone from past visits, or everyone happen to be regulars. Hoping to become one too.
My favorite restaurant ever and has been for years! I go every year for my birthday, and any other time that I’m in the area. The staff is extremely friendly, and they provide fast and wonderful service. The food is phenomenal, I can’t even begin to describe how good. But I’ll just sum it up by saying that, if I could only eat one type of food for the rest of my life, it would have to be from this place. Keep up the great work Hayashi!
Best Japanese Cuisine In Town!!!
Family owned and best customer service around. Small but very cozy. Food is so delicious and amazing. Miso cup is out of this world. Large selection of amazing sushi rolls and great deserts. Limited parking, but a couple handicap parking spot near the front.
LOVE this place! My dad comes here all the time. We are in town visiting and came in after our flight. I asked them to make a roll for me that wasn't on the menu and they were able to do it for me. My dad always orders yellowtail sashimi -- this place has excellent fish! It's fresh and absolutely delicious. The service is excellent too. We also ordered these scallop rolls that were delicious! My dad got two orders of fried soft crab and my boyfriend really loved it. The teriyaki chicken was ordered for my boyfriend and my daughter and they both enjoyed it.
Hot sake was great for the cold night we came in. It's a very casual spot but you will definitely be taken cared of!
Went to try this restaurant based on my friend’s recommendation. They have a big menu for a small place. The hotate butter yaki was delicious, the scallop cooked perfectly and the flavor is just on point! The meals were very nicely priced, super inexpensive for the quality. Angelou, our server, was amazing! She was handling all of the lunch crowd tables by herself, which was probably about 8 tables at that time, yet still managed to be friendly and attentive the whole time! My friend is a regular, and so they gave a complimentary, special ika sansai with seaweed which was flavorful and greatly appreciated! We tried the kitchen’s food today, since my friend said this restaurant has been around for over 20 years and they still have the same kitchen staff for all this time, so that tells you something! All the food we ordered today was great! Can’t wait to come back and try the sushi bar next time!
**ALERT🚨 SUSHI MASTERS LOCATED HERE! This joint is the most authentic Japanese cuisine I’ve ever had. One of the key indicators to me was when I first entered the restaurant, it didn’t smell fishy!! I had to double check to make sure I was in the right spot. Then you’re warmly greeted by MIA, the waitress. Man on man, she was serving 15 tables be herself and she hustled! Very attentive service. The sushi was served with the freshest fish and the rice was so soft, and flavors paired were dynamite. The Smoked Salmon Nigiri is a MUST TRY! To top it off, I really measure the service by simply asking for extra ginger and wasabi on the side and sure enough they brought me two large piles of ginger and wasabi!! I’d give them 10 stars for freshest sushi around, vast menu options, and service. They’ve earned my highest recommendation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was the only sushi restaurant has table for us eight, at the day time we wanted
Sushi was reasonably price, food was average
Was hoping for better but not bad. Service was slow only one waiter + the owner

This place is really cute inside, a little crowded but nice. The employees were all really friendly and helpful, too, which is why I didn't want to give less stars. The food was really hit or miss though, honestly. I wish the menu was clearer about what comes with each item. I had the steak teriyaki and tempura combo, which came with rice and miso soup or salad. I got a salad and regretted it. I normally really like ginger dressing but it was really strangely sour and not salty at all, just sour ginger taste. The miso soup my friends got looked good. The steak was good but small portion, the tempura shrimp were great and big, but the tempura vegetables were really disappointing. They look great but the carrot, onion, and pepper were super undercooked and almost completely raw inside. My friend got karaage, which was really overcooked bone in wings instead of what I'd normally consider karaage. Deep fried gyoza were really good. Other friend had chicken teriyaki which they said was good, though the portion was small as well. Pork katsu was extremely thin and small but good. Girlfriend had chirashi which looked great, she said it was excellent and the portion seemed generous. Overall, for the price it was a bit of a disappointment, but the employees and restaurant were so nice that I still enjoyed it.
Super cozy spot with delicious authentic food. Atmosphere is very welcoming and homey. Our waitress was very nice too.
The tiger-eye roll is a super unique appetizer and something I’d totally recommend! Their maki was fresh and bursted with flavor- could use some work on presentation though. My favorite part though, has got to be the bento! Good portions and the tempura is what I’ll keep coming back for. It’s actually authentic!!! Ultra crispy and cooked well.
I have eaten at many sushi places and I can tell you that this place is one of the best I have ever been to. It isn't vey big, so you might have to wait for a table, but it will be worth it.
Atmosphere – 3.5 Stars
Overall Service – 4 Stars
Food taste – 3.5 Stars
Food presentation – 3.5 Stars
Price – $$.5 Moderate expensive
Summary – Friendly staff with great service and they have lots of appetizer choices. I would recommend their sushi because their maki needs a little work.
Today was my first time being in this restaurant. I chose 3 sushi rolls and an appetizer, and had some green tea. All of my rolls were really delicious and so was the deep fried gyoza (dumplings). The staff were very friendly and attentive but not too overly attentive. The environment had great music and it was a very homey place to be in due to their beautiful decorations. This place's prices are a little wonky (sone rolls more expensive than the others) for me compared to some of my favorite places I've been but i still give it 5 stars.. I wasn't sure why but it was worth it for sure based on everything I've mentioned. I definitively recommend this place.

Went to have dinner. Super friendly staff very quick service. Sat next to a family who said they came here as kids and now they bring theirs (regularly). A great experience I do recommend!
Some of the best sushi I have ever had! The service was excellent as well! Loved the bloody tuna roll and the mochi ice cream. I will definitley be back!
My daughter claims this is absolutely the best sushi she has ever had! I must say I don't disagree :-) The shrimp tempura special roll was absolutely amazing! 10 out of 10: would recommend.
We had the smoked salmon cucumber salad, beef udon, and veggie spring rolls which were all phenomenally prepared and delicious. Highly recommend!
