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

Maxx M.

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!

Happy hour menu

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)

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

This was one of the best sushi restaurants I've been to! It was reasonably priced and my very picky eleven year old liked his meal!

We stumbled upon this gem during their happy hour and we can't wait to come back. Their happy hour…read morehad plenty options to choose from and all very affordable. The service was amazing. The server was incredibly kind, attentive, and gave solid recommendations. The American Favorite Roll is the best and is a great option for everyone because it doesn't have raw fish. I didn't like the angry dragon roll. Nice ambiance. Highly recommend their extensive menu has something for everyone.

We had a mixed experience here. The food overall was good. The American Roll was especially tasty…read moreand the hibachi was decent, but the California roll was disappointing. It was about 80% cucumber with barely any crab, which wasn't what we expected. Unfortunately, the service really overshadowed the experience. We weren't greeted when we walked in, and things felt off from the start. We had a stroller with us, and instead of helping us find a comfortable spot, we were initially directed to a booth that clearly wouldn't work. When I asked about it, the waitress moved a couple of tables and pointed us to an end table with an uncomfortable chair. I politely asked to sit somewhere else, which felt awkward to even have to do. There were also a few moments that felt careless, like when she reached over my baby and stroller to grab a drink instead of going around. That's just not something you should risk. When I finished my salad, she told me to keep my fork rather than bringing a new one for sushi, which came off as odd. I also know how to use chopsticks so it seemed weird to assume that I didn't and would reuse my fork. The waitress didn't seem friendly or welcoming, and we didn't feel acknowledged at any point..even when we left, despite being the only customers there. It's a shame because the food, music, and overall vibe had potential, but the service really took away from the experience.
