The server was knowledgeable about vegan needs and double-checked ingredients for us. We ordered the fried rice (made vegan), the veggie specialty roll, three avocado rolls, and the vegetable gyoza. Everything was delicious, and it felt easy and welcoming to dine here n. Updated from previous review on 2025-06-08
Good big portions. Decent happy hour. Was surprised how ignored I was when the place was dead sitting at the bar even after tipping well the night before. Employees seem to care more about their phones, boyfriends, and quitting for the day at happy hour time.

The waitress was nice and the water was cold, thats all the good there is to say about this hajime.
The fried rice was not fried, looked like white rice with some dry chicken on it.
The sushi rolls were peppered??? An odd suprise of black pepper was in the rolls. The rice for the sushi was either day old or not cooked, very hard.
Don't waste your time, go to the blaine Hajime

We love Hajime in Elk River! Always fresh and delicious! Best sushi in the area, I always switch it up and try new rolls, but I ALWAYS get the mussels app- trust me- not just normal mussels, topped with spicy crab. Yum!
Kid-friendliness: Lots of options for kiddos and fun Japanese sodas.

LOOOOVE the atmosphere & quality of sushi!! 10/10 reccomend if you’re looking for authentic & competitively priced asian cuisine! Hubby loves it too, which is HUGE since he lived in Japan for 2+ years & is very picky when it comes to accuracy!

Service is the only reason the rating is a 2. The atmosphere is stale. Being Japanese, this is not authentic at all. The rice wasn't sushi grade. The fish wasn't fresh. The yakitori wasn't even grilled. Everything seemed microwaved and the nigiri wasn't even constructed appropriately. I know we're in MN but wouldn't ever come here again. So many better places in Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Real nummy. Definitely over ate. Variety of things on the menu I've personally never heard of or tried. So I tried a few new things and I'm glad I did. Plus the waitress I had was a Gem. We had some laughs. :) Definitely going back.
