Much like judging a book by its cover, when walking up to the entrance to Hayashi you will be disappointed in the appearance of the facility. Within 40 feet of the front door I spotted 2 empty Budweiser cans, an empty soda can and an empty bottle of sun tan lotion. Petrified chewing gum and dirt graced the concrete in front of the entrance doors.
The restaurant's outdoor appearance was a mess, but read further.
Once inside, as a couple, we only had to wait maybe 10 minutes to be seated with a two other couples at a grill. The interior of the restaurant was average and in need of a small tune up. The menus should be replaced as they are worn, and their spines looked to be in need of duct tape. The staff was attentive.
Heiu, our table master, redeemed the evening for us. He was funny, and talented. Absent his better than expected performance and cooking perfection, the establishment would have receive one star from me. The food was moist and delicious.
Do not be put off by the slovenly appearance of the restaurant's exterior. Hayashi did deliver the goods as to an entertaining dinner and good food.
