Tucked into Kopiko Plaza, just below Long's, this local favorite for quality Japanese fare goes beyond sushi.

Hayama serves traditional Japanese specialties like sukiyaki, teriyaki, shabu shabu, and udon, all made from quality local ingredients.

Sushi is available as well, but only traditional nigiri and sashimi.

Lunch specials are a great deal, and dinner specials provide a three-course dinner for two for $40.

Despite its strip mall location, Hayama manages to pull off a Zen vibe that matches the quiet and attentive, albeit slow, service.
