Hayashi291 Japanese Restaurant

Hayashi291 turns out hearty Japanese comfort food and fresh sashimi along Richmond’s Bridge Road. It is an unpretentious sanctuary away from the street's hustle—serving steaming bowls of pork ramen, crisp katsu curry, and miso soup that regulars lean on as a comforting taste of home. The kitchen covers serious ground, moving effortlessly from takowasa and nigiri accompanied by real wasabi to sizzling sukiyaki and chicken teriyaki bento boxes. Diners gather around indoor tables or out front with tap Sapporo, or take advantage of the easygoing BYO policy alongside plates of tender slow-cooked pork and housemade black sesame ice cream.
