    Delicious! Fast service. Perfect sized rolls and generous with roe. Will definitely return.

    Still the best sushi in the far NW burbs - 4 stars. Wow, it's been 9 years since I ate at Hajime! I've been on a sushi binge lately so I stopped in again...and then again a second day in a row...to satisfy my sushi cravings. The food is great, the service is great, and the prices are reasonable. (The photos really say it all.) I'd go back again any time. Thanks, Hajime! -Maxx

    Chefs choice selection sushi with 5 types of caviar!
    Stacy A.

    5 different types of caviar.... WHAT!!?? Un heard of!! I have never been so impressed with a sushi restaurant since Little Tokyo in Los Angeles. Absolutely top notch and anyone and I mean anyone that goes here better appreciate the amount of flavors, work, and quality put into this amazing food. Emily our server was so amazing. She was fun and joyful and made our experience even better! Do not look over the chefs choice sushi! My goodness !!! Top notch! We will be coming here again and again! So delightful and delicious!

    This is our regular local sushi place. Always fresh, delicious and great happy hour specials. They really need to upgrade the chairs and tables. The service is great and very friendly.

    Angel roll, Crunch roll, and Philly roll

    I love this place. The sushi is excellent and fresh. The staff is so friendly. Parking is hard to find sometimes but it's worth finding a place for this sushi! Bring a friend and order several rolls and enjoy!

    Sushi Rolls (Hawaiian, Anchor's Tattoo, Devil)
    Sean P.

    Tried a little bit of everything on our stop in... the best item on the menu was the fried rice with yum yum sauce. While that was actually a surprise, it's also not a good thing. The potstickers were alright, but hard to mess up anywhere. When it came to sushi though, it was extremely mediocre. I'd say the best roll we tried was the Hawaiian and it was probably a 3-out-of-5. If you're dying for sushi; it's better than nothing. But there are much better options out there!

    Note how beautifully packed the sushi is in a to-go container!

    The fact that I live so close to this restaurant is both exciting and scary (for my wallet). I've both dined and out of this restaurant many times. I've always had an impeccable experience at Hajime! They have great happy hour deals, especially for sushi! The ambiance feels like you're in a cool club, with strobe lights and music bumping. My Top Three Choices Are: *Sweet Potato Roll: I ordered this and had no idea what to expect. I love the crunch, the sweet potato, and the sauce. Just a delicious combo in a roll! *Tuna Avocado Roll: Just how it sounds, but always so good! The tuna is always fresh *Avocado Roll: Again, just how it sounds, but never fails to disappoint!

    I ended up here from. Recommendation & am super glad we went! It was late night Happy Hour & they had a ton of deals on rolls & drinks! I had a saketini & hot sake which I enjoyed both. The Saketini was in the sweeter side. We went big & got a bunch of rolls, edamame, & a few sashimi's. The sushi was really solid! We definitely want to go back! I was told that the Blaine location is also great! -- Rolls: Devil Roll - Deep fried freshest fish, cream cheese roll, topped with special chili sauce and chopped jalapeno. North Shore Roll - Tuna, avocado, fresh salmon, caviar, seaweed salad, crunchy, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. Superior Roll - Pepper tuna, avocado, wrapped around spicy tuna, kari, crunch with honey wasabi sauce on top. Crazy Tuna Roll - Deep fried spicy tuna avocado, tobiko & topped with special sauce. No 9 Roll - Fresh Salmon, avocado wrapped around shrimp tempura, cucumber with tobiko & spicy mayo Sashimi: 2 - octopus 2- White Tuna 2 Salmon The sushi was really solid! We definitely want to go back! I was told that the Blaine location is also great

    Recent review of Ten Sushi. We love this local sushi restaurant and come often whenever we're…read morecraving sushi. They have an extensive menu so everyone doesn't have to eat raw fish if it's not your thing. However, we love it. The sashimi pieces are generous and fresh. Service is great. My only issue is that the restaurant is small. Maybe 4 booths and about 6-8 tables. Last night we tried their "Happy Hour". Great food and drink prices and lots of items on the menu. Double sided and full sized sheet of soup, salad, appetizers, sushi, rolls, and drinks. Savings is averaging about 25% according to them.

    We had a great first here we were seated right away since the restaurant wasn't very busy. It's on…read morethe smaller side, but I really liked being able to watch the chefs prepare the sushi right in front of us. I ordered the mango lemonade and loved that they offer several lemonade flavored options instead of just one. It wasn't overly sweet, which I appreciated, but I was hoping for more of that fresh mango taste. The soft shell crab was good, crispy and wasn't all greasy. I also ordered the sushi and sashimi combo. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and the portion was very big I think it could easily feed two people since I had a lot of leftovers. The service was standard, nothing particularly impressive, but our waitress was welcoming and we never felt rushed. She refilled our lemonades quickly and I also appreciated the free parking in the strip mall, which made the visit even easier. Overall, I enjoyed my first experience here and would definitely come back to try more of the menu and maybe even a cocktail.
