" We visited Hajime last night, hoping to find a new favorite sushi spot. The ambiance was warm and inviting, but the fish quality didn't meet my expectations. Some of the rolls were tasty, however, I found the salmon to be slightly lacking in freshness. Service was good, quick and friendly, but I expected more from the food given the high ratings. I might give it another try, as my friends enjoyed their meals more than I did. " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Hajime felt like stepping into a small corner of Japan! The sushi was of incredible quality, and the flavors were spot on. I was awed by their beautiful presentation—you can tell they put a lot of care into their dishes. The service was also top-notch; the staff was welcoming and ensured we had everything we needed. I had such a wonderful time and can’t wait to tell my friends about this gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to my dinner at Hajime, given the rave reviews, but I left feeling slightly disappointed. While the service was exceptional - very friendly and accommodating - the food lacked the vibrant flavors I was hoping for. I ordered the unagi don, and though the portion was generous, it didn't have the deep, smoky flavor that truly good unagi should have. I might give them another chance but will approach with mixed expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" The chefs at Hajime truly know what they're doing! The food was vibrant and simply delicious. From their signature rolls to the unagi and ramen, each dish was crafted with care and perfection. I loved how they paid attention to detail, even garnishing the plates beautifully. The ambiance is serene; it's easy to forget you're in the busy Beaches area. I can't recall the last time I enjoyed sushi this much. Make sure to reserve a table in advance, as they're quite popular! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible little sushi spot! I was drawn by the inviting atmosphere and left with a full heart and full belly. The sushi was fresh and beautifully crafted. I loved the dynamite roll - such a great combination of flavors! The staff were friendly, which made for a lovely experience. I'm already excited to visit again to try more from their menu.

" A lovely little sushi joint! I popped in on a whim, and I was not disappointed. The inside has a warm, cozy feel, and the service was efficient and friendly. I ordered a rainbow roll and some shrimp tempura that were both fantastic. The flavors blended nicely, and everything felt fresh. This is a great addition to the neighborhood, and I am looking forward to returning to try more dishes soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Hajime with a few friends, and we decided to share a mix of their specialty rolls. The presentation was stunning, and each roll had its unique twist! I particularly enjoyed the spicy salmon roll; it had the right amount of kick. Service was friendly and efficient, which I appreciated as we were quite hungry. I will definitely keep coming back to sample more of their creative offerings! " (*Curated Review*)
