It is very rare that I’m impressed with food, the food here is astonishingly brilliant. Service is excellent, free parking is 2 stalls in front on the property, off the city street. Everything is clean, simple, warm and welcoming. Prices are very reasonable, serving size is very generous. Thank you!

Super friendly and welcoming staff, the lady who tended to us was so sweet! Food was great, I think their prices are fair to the value and taste of their food. Their menu has a large variety of choices, and their portions definitely made me full. The place is clean and decorated very nicely. 10/10 would come back again!

Atmosphere: simple yet cozy and welcoming place. The service was excellent, all the staff were friendly and polite. Clean washroom. Food: sashimi 18 pieces was served very aesthetically and delicately. Seafood pieces, tuna and salmon were fresh. Miso soup was very tasty. Rainbow sushi was wrapped very delicately. Price: for the quality food it was very reasonable. The owner told us that the chef has taken a 2 year culinary course at Tokyo’s most prestigious culinary school.

I’ve been here twice already—it’s a great sushi spot with a warm, family-like atmosphere. The food is fresh, well-prepared, and consistently delicious. The ambiance is calm and quiet, perfect for a relaxed meal. Everything is also spotlessly clean, which leaves a great overall impression.

We arrived at 4:45, placed our order at 4:50, and were told the wait would be 30 minutes. We ended up waiting 50–65 minutes before all the dishes were finally served. The waiter wasn’t in a hurry to do anything — clear the table, refill water, or even say a word after dropping the plates off. The food was tasty, though, and the sushi presentation was really fun. They even made a little carrot butterfly — super cute. Overall, a mixed impression of this place.

Food. Service. Presentation. 10s across the board. A delicious local spot. Service of dishes is spaced out well as the chef curates each dish with precision and detail. It’s tucked in a quiet location and allows for a slow paced dining experience to catch up with company. I left very pleased.

I’ve been to Hayashi a few times, and it’s always been great! I think it has the best katsu in Kelowna! I highly recommend the lunchtime bento box; it’s such a good deal. Their katsu is excellent, and the sunomono salad is huge and incredibly refreshing. The sushi is good, but when I come here, I usually go for the tonkatsu set (though I wish it came with rice instead of having to order it on the side) or the katsu don! I recommend you try it out!

SUSHI HAYASHI is a genuine gem nestled in the heart of Kelowna, offering an authentic Japanese dining experience that delights both the eyes and palate. From the moment you step inside their warm and welcoming space on Tutt Street, you can sense the passion behind every dish. The clean, simple, and cozy atmosphere complements the exceptional service—attentive, friendly, and genuinely caring.

The menu at SUSHI HAYASHI is a celebration of traditional Japanese flavors with a contemporary touch. Standouts include the Agedashi Tofu, which presents perfectly crispy tofu bathed in a delicate dashi broth, and the Sunomono Noodle—a refreshing dish that balances tangy and savory notes gracefully. Their Beef Teriyaki and Chicken Karaage showcase mastery in seasoning and texture, while the Tendon delivers a satisfying crunch and flavor harmony.

For sushi enthusiasts, the Rainbow Sushi and Assorted Sashimi (18 pieces) are must-tries. Each piece is crafted meticulously, with fresh, high-quality fish like tuna and salmon sliced adeptly and served with elegant presentation. The delicate wrapping and vibrant colors elevate every bite into an experience. The Dragon and Rainbow Rolls continue this trend, bursting with flavor and texture, while the Angry Crying Roll offers a bold, spicy kick that surprises the palate.

Beyond sushi, dishes such as Takoyaki and Dynamite Bento expand the menu’s appeal, satisfying cravings for comfort and complexity alike. The Unagi Don and Tonkatsu Miso highlight traditional heartiness, prepared with care and precise technique. Noteworthy as well is the Tofu Yaki Udon, which beautifully marries simple ingredients into a dish rich in flavor and texture.

What truly elevates SUSHI HAYASHI is the balance of quality, generous portions, and reasonable pricing. The chef’s background—a rigorous two-year training at Tokyo’s most prestigious culinary school—shines through every bite, whether it’s the expertly battered tempura or their celebrated ginger, praised for its freshness and subtle heat.

Every visit feels like a thoughtful, refined journey into Japanese cuisine. The consistent freshness of seafood, the artistic presentation, and the heartfelt service create a family-like atmosphere that invites return visits. Cleanliness and thoughtful details, such as edible vegetable carvings, further enrich the dining experience.

In essence, SUSHI HAYASHI embodies the essence of authentic Japanese culinary art—respectful of tradition yet invitingly modern. Whether you crave a quiet, refined meal or vibrant, flavorful dishes that satisfy deeply, this restaurant promises an astonishingly brilliant experience worth savoring time and again.
