Hayashi Teppanyaki Restaurant

An old school style Japanese establishment.

We came for the experience and made many memories. Ronnie is an great host.
The food is good. The portions are what you expect for teppanyaki. Smaller than your average restaurant but over a few plates can fill you up.

So many laughs. Chefs were amazing - and because apparently my mates said it was my birthday; I was attacked by flying rice and eggs in great jest. So if you can't handle old school humour, eat out 😂

Chef was very attentive to guests, to the littlest details including making sure that the food was not too salty for us. Made the night so much fun and entertaining. All the meat were cook just right - including the calamari which was very tender, steak was just right and tender. $48 for the banquet was well worth it considering the amount of food in this day and age of high inflation.

Oh my Goodness what a great night.
Many laughs were had and food was going everywhere. Ronnie is a crack up he had us in stitches all night. Food was amazing. Things I normally wouldn't try I did.

Would recommend to anyone who is after something different.

Awesome atmosphere and entertainment by Ronnie, the chef. I celebrated my daughter's BD at Hayashi and we had the most amazing dinner with the Matsu set. Will definitely be back for another teppanyaki.

Went out to celebrate my daughter's birthday and booked to eat at 5.30 with front row seats facing the cooking surface.

The chef (we were served by the owner, Ronnie Cheong) put on a great show for us! The obligatory flaring brandy to start proceedings went down well.

We had the Matsu banquet, starting with an entree of a spring roll, sushi slice, and miso soup. Then the main! Starting with calamari and prawns cooked on the hot plate followed by chicken with bean shoots and finally steak. All dishes came with ginger and soy mixed with butter (Ronnie asked my granddaughter if she had seen the butterfly as he flipped a piece of butter straight into the mix). Then came the egg roll for the fried rice; this involved throwing eggs to the patrons to catch in bowls before cooking. Our end only dropped one egg. Then, small pieces of the cooked egg roll were flipped to all diners' mouths with a pretty good success rate. The remains of the egg roll went into fried rice.

We were finally tempted into sharing deep fried ice cream, highly recommended!

Altogether a great experience!

This was hands down the best experience ever!
The chefs are funny nice and the atmosphere is incredible.
The portion sizes were a little bit small for 50 dollars but the meat was very nice

The Hayashi has been a staple of amazing food and dining experience in the Hills for 25 years.
If you haven't been, what are you waiting for?

Owners are awesome ! Always good for a laugh and bit of fun. Foods yummy. Chefs are great. Even my fussy 9y/o loved it ! Highly recommend 👌

OMG this place was AMAZING. I went there for my birthday dinner and it was the best experience, the chefs and other staff were so funny and nice and the sheer amount of food they give you is very filling and it tastes good too! We were sat with a bunch of other people and the atmosphere was great! The other people we sat with were lovely and joked around with us! If you’ve never had Teppanyaki before i would 100% recommended you try this place!

All staff was professional! There is parking downstairs. The food was on point.

Can't beat the experience, we brought two families and we all loved every minute thank you!

Super friendly, fun staff! Very engaging! And the food! Perfectly prepared, whether it be the succulent calamari, or the melt in your mouth steak.
Highly recommended.

Great night was had by all. Will be returning. Ronnie is so funny and makes sure you are enjoying your visit. Food was unbelievable best chicken and beef I’ve had in ages. Thanks Ronnie.

Great place, we had a ball - Mother’s Day dinner was good, the chefs and owners were all lovely and we all had a great night.
We left with a full belly and sore cheeks from laughing.
The owner even sat with us for dessert and spoke to us and our children- so genuine!
Definitely will be back soon!

Met my family at the restaurant and was welcomed with warmth and smiles. We had a wonderful meal with lots of laughter and the chef was engaging and skilled. Not so some of us trying to catch flying food. It made for a very enjoyable evening which was fun and entertaining. The teenagers present actually stayed off their phones. Thank you to everyone. Definitely recommend.

We went here for our son's 13th birthday..it was the BEST night we've had for ages, food was delicious and couldn't be faulted, the chef was a comic genius who had the whole party in stitches. Ronnie and his staff couldn't be more welcoming and the service was on point...we will definitely be back again in the very near future.

Real fun night out with great food.

Chefs were great and entertaining! Actually so funny!

This place never disappoints. Such lovely food and Roni is there to help keep us entertained. Always a good, fun time with great food to match! Thankyou Roni, Ronis wife and staff.

Love this place. Ronnie & Lucy are the best hosts. Dennis is an excellent chef. Come and enjoy a great night out.
Oh yeah and great value for money. Menu is remarkable.
Do yourself a favor. Join them for dinner.
