HAYASHI HIBACHI-El Paso

"It might have rated higher if we didn't go so close to closing. We were the only ones at our table and they sat us to the side of the grill instead of in front so I couldn't hear the chef. They didn't proactively refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything but the food was delicious and the chef was talented."

"Great atmosphere, and friendly staff. Love the showmanship... food was good, but it wasn't great. And for the prices they charged, I don't feel I got my money's worth. I ordered the steak and chicken, it was a tiny amount of steak with lots of fat, and the chicken they served was dark meat (looked like thighs). They serve u plenty of vegetables and rice at least, I assume to help fill u up. But for the $30 a plate price tag and the 18% included tip for large groups....my $100+ tab did not feel worth the experience."

"I had my doubts due to past experiences with these types of restaurants. But this place had very courteous staff, nice atmosphere and delicious food. I am NOT a seafood person....UNTIL NOW! Chef Anastacio has changed my mind. I will definitely be back again."

"So to start off it was my birthday dinner and my Uber driver told me to avoid the sushi the moment I told him where I was going. Then as we enter we’re told it’s gonna be a 20 minute wait time with only one table currently inside the building.I got the chicken and scallops which was delicious.Our waiter was attentive but I don’t know if it was the his or the chef’s fault but my partner did not have his steak cooked as the same time as everyone else. A friend of ours also ordered some extra chicken on top of her meal but it wasn’t made as well. Thankfully the chef noticed one of the missing items(the steak) and made it for my partner but the chicken was not made. My partner also ordered the dynamite sushi against my warning and he’s currently day two into food poisoning. Once we got our check the chicken we did not get was on our ticket which we told the waiter to remove. Just to make it clear the chef was very welcoming and his show was great. The waiter did his job well but two of our very expensive orders were messed up and one of our party of 4 has food poisoning. We will not be returning any time soon."

"Have to give 4 stars off the bat due to it being really hot inside. Though if the AC was kicking, would give them 5 stars. As for the service and food, I would have to give 5 stars. We had a party of 6 and the waiter was so attentive and expedient. If you go on the weekend, it’s hard to get a seat at a grill without reservations. Though if you don’t mind sitting at a table, it’s not a long wait. Nice aesthetics with the coy fish pond and waterfall."
