HAYASHI JAPANESE STEAKHOUSE REVIEWS

My family and I enjoyed our time here. This was our 3rd visit and the best thus far. Our waiter Emerson was interactive and kept our family entertained. He told some really great jokes and had us laughing all the while making our meals. My toddlers enjoyed the show as well and though they are picky eaters, they enjoyed the food. My family also enjoyed the food. It was a great dining experience overall.

As classy a Japanese hibachi restaurant as you can expect in Lubbock, with friendly and personable staff. The decor has fun attention to detail and the awards of this location are well deserved. It's worth taking pictures every minute of your visit to capture all the special moments that are over so quickly. Make sure all the members of your party are present before getting a table for hibachi service.

Very recommend restaurant the food the best I’ve ever tasted being cooked right in front of your face on a grill best cooker is Alex he was so nice they even have a koi pond inside the restaurant would recommend the beef teriyaki.

YUYO JAPANESE RESTAURANT REVIEWS

This is our favorite place to eat. Usually wonderful food and service. But tonight was way off. I’m not going to leave a low score. But please please schedule 2 waiters/waitresses!!!! This is the third time in 2 weeks we have been in and there was ONE person running their tail off taking care of the whole restaurant. This causes cold food, empty glasses and mistakes. Which takes away from the wonderful food you cook and serve.

This is the BEST place in all of Lubbock to get sushi! My husband and I have tried just about every place in town, and Yuyos is our absolute favorite. We have loved everything we’ve tried, which is a lot, and never leave disappointed. The drunken monkey roll is my husband’s favorite! From the quality of the food, service, to the ambiance, this whole restaurant is perfection. We will never stop coming here.

They always have great service and have many vegetarian options! Their noodle dishes are great and their hot and sour soup is vegetarian! I can also have seafood so I got their Tom Yum soup which was absolutely wonderful. It is actually a meal in itself and is very filling even if you’re just having this soup.

YAMAGATA JAPANESE STEAK HOUSE REVIEWS

It was amazing!!!! My family and I went to try the shabu shabu and I can not stress enough HOW AMAZING IT WAS!!! At first glance the prices seem a bit steep but for the amount of food you get it is easily worth it just as much as any other sit down restaurant. Christian martinez was a great help. He even played with my nephew a little bit to get him to calm down after a crying fit. He is a pretty awesome dude. If you have a chance go and try them. I will say they are in my top 5 places to eat and I'll definitely be going back when I can. I would add more pictures but I have family in them shoveling food in thier faces.

The chef was so funny and made the experience a blast. My salmon was perfectly cooked and my youngest ate everything on her plate. If that doesn't say good cooking I don't know what does. Thank you for great food, immediate seating, and all around fun experience.

I really don’t like lamb at all but I eat here all the time, so I thought I would try out their recipe. It came out perfect!! I had my food in less than an hour & they were slammed with dine in customers. It’s one of the best restaurants in town.
