A favorite of locals and was really good. Wait was 2 hours (@2pm). ahead is after 11am and could take many calls to get through. Recommend visit and order ahead, pick up and take to beach or eat at the limited tables. Parking nearby is $13/hr. There is a very small “loading zone” close. It’s on a small side street, up a hill on the right between the rock walls.

Very good rolls, large and tasty! Phone in orders only (as of the review date) and they had a sign saying it’s a 3 hour wait for walk ups. Not sure if that’s true (walk up wait time) but the phone in and pick up option worked just fine. If you’re looking for a good filling roll, this is the place to go!

Found out about this place while browsing for some good sushi online while we were at the Big Island

Was the sushi fresh? Absolutely. Was it yummy? Yes. But Was it worth calling over 200 times just to place an order? No. Also I did not care for the sushi Pizza. It just didn’t pair well and made my sushi warm so I would recommend sticking with the fresh rolls if you put in the effort to get sushi here. Another plus is that the rolls are huge. I have killed sushi boats between me and my husband alone but less than 2 of these rolls had me stuffed!

This is my favorite place to get sushi, there is absolutely no other place on island that can compare to their hand rolls. The owners are really nice people. Before the pandemic it was first come first served deal but since covid they are phone call orders only! It’s crazy but I have fun calling them 200+ just to get an order in, too me as a local it’s totally worth it! This is one of the best local places to eat. Supporting our local businesses.

Start calling at 10:59 am. It may be a 3 hour wait, but the ninja star roll with papaya is so worth it.

Love Hayashi’s, it’s been a staple place for me for 16 years! However there’s almost always a wait, anywhere between 30 minutes and to an hour+. Sometimes you will go by and there will be a sign that says there closed because of the amount of orders. I love their sushi, although keep in mind it’s not your typical sushi, a bit more rice which makes for big portions, but it’s delicious. I recommend the Mele’ (“may-lay”) roll with extra spicey sauce! So good!

During Covid, must call to order. Ordering starts at 11am. Sometimes you have to ca multiple times to get through. There is usually a 2-3 hour wait. 1 roll is enough for a meal. It is very fresh!!! Highly recommend

The sushi is the best on the island. I only give 4 stars because the wait is often long, but that’s because they’re so popular! Also they close during the middle of the day at random times, so I would call ahead to check what time their break is. But the sushi is well worth the wait. Try the ninja star roll for fresh tuna!
