    Waitress was great - her humor was a nice touch. Sarcastic and witty made for great banter. She did seem a little new.. but sushi was top notch. Best place in Saint Cloud to experience culture.

    I absolutely LOVE the food! My two kids age 14 & 9, absolutely LOVE the food. They are more adventurous then I am, but they haven’t had anything they don’t like. My favorite is the Deluxe Veggie Roll! I dream about it!

    I went here with my husband for my birthday. First time customers and wow! Our server, Lakeo, was incredible! He was very kind, hospitable, and attentive. The food was amazing too! I really enjoyed their crab ragoons and the pork dumplings. My husband loved the Anchor Tattoo roll. We will definitely be back! Thanks again, Lakeo!

    This place was okay for me. It didn’t taste special and I honestly didn’t like my dishes.

    Went for my wife's birthday: Wonderful experience, the staff was knowledgeable & helpful, and the food was delish! It had been years since we dabbled in sushi, so we got a big assorted platter & it came out on this cool boat - such a fun idea :) Will definitely be coming back, well worth the 1 hr drive from where we live!

    Recommended to me by someone at my job, I finally got the chance, as I was in town for an appointment. I couldn't have been happier!! The food, my server, and atmosphere were all excellent !! I cannot afford the same bill each time, but I will be coming back once a month after my appointments, and trying something new each time!

    One of my favorite places to go in the winter for Happy Hour! The drink prices are extremely reasonable! The food is well worth the money and it's a great alternative to basic bar food. Whiskey and wonton soup to warm up...GREAT COMBO!

    Definitely my favorite sushi place in St. Cloud right now. Everything is prepared fresh, the ingredients are high quality and the attention to detail is inarguable. Overall impressions: the food was excellent, restaurant was clean and well kept, the service was polite and attentive without being overbearing, and they were great with my young daughter—though I would not recommend bringing young children at this point, they do not have high chairs available at all.

    I am a celiac (gluten free) and I have been able to eat here safely for two years!! We have consistently amazing experiences with both delicious food and top-notch service. I am writing this review tonight specifically because we came to happy hour at 9:30 tonight and a lot of folks were headed out because it was slow. The owner himself stayed and made our food (even specially due to my dietary restrictions). I can’t say how amazingly appreciative we are about it especially because my dining options at this time of night are limited. If you are stopping by definitely swing by this place! Thank you Hajime folks 👏👏👏

  • 5/5 Christiana G. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is the best hands down. I went based on a recommendation for some good sushi and happy hour and was not disappointed. I have been back repeatedly now with both family and friends and by myself and never disappointed. The service is phenomenal to match the rolls. They even have gluten free soy sauce available upon request and know that their artificial crab meat is not gluten free which makes the experience so much better knowing they have such understanding. Being gluten free good places to go out to can be hard to find sushi is often a safe bet but I typically bring my own lil gf bottle in my purse and if I forget it or run out I don't have to worry here. They even if a kids menu available on their Facebook page (Hajime st.Cloud) you click see menu. Definitely will be back regularly.

    We enjoy the fresh sushi we get from Hajime and normally am able to call 15 min for pickup orders! Recommend the shrimp tempura and kiss of fire rolls

  • 5/5 Kayla K. 5 months ago on Google
    This cute little sushi restaurant was a wonderful place to meet up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. The rolls were amazing! They have a happy hour special with reduced prices of rolls and other fresh sushi items, and for less than $20, I ate way more than I thought possible! The shop looks small from outside, but the interior was spacious, clean and inviting. The staff were wonderful and answered all our questions, and didn't interrupt us much, but were there the minute we needed any refills or other questions. We didn't get a chance to order anything other than our rolls and sashimi, but it is a cozy little place and we'll definitely be returning!

    Let's get one thing straight right off the bat, Malia's recommendation on the Superior roll was Fantastic! The cozy atmosphere, service is to be admired and congratulated! Fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere. Food is wonderful. Highly recommend.

    My wife and I just tried this place out for the first time and we were very impressed by not only the modern look and staff but the food was amazing. Very light and full of flavor. Our waitress and the floor manager were on point and our glass was never empty. Fairly priced, and well presented. Will be back many times to come.

  • 2/5 Robert D. 1 year ago on Google
    I think the problem was that our serve was doing too many things at once. The sushi and takoyaki was good, but everything else was tepid and had set at the pass for too long. The fried calamari was cold. A server should be focused on the food and customer experience to avoid these situations from happening. This was my birthday dinner as well, and we told the server this before being seated. He seemed not to care, as he never acknowledged it during or after dinner. I am also a trained chef and this is why I eat out very seldom. Not a good dining experience.

    My niece wanted to eat here one last time as a graduate at St. Ben’s. She enjoys the Hibachi and Crunchy roll. The wait wasn’t long but staff were confused on setting up a table of 6. We eventually sat down but before we could order we were asked to move which was awkward. Service was good and our waiter was quick. The $9.50 for three pieces of Shrimp tempura was not worth it and the Yakisoba didn’t have much flavor. It didn’t seem to have much sauce and the noodles seemed too thin. However two of the sushi was good. We enjoyed the Anchors Tattoo roll and crunchy roll. Overall it’s only decent.

    Everything was great! Food tasted so fresh and our server was really nice. One of the best dining out experiences that I've ever had! Will definitely be visiting again 👍

    Wonderful experience, even though the place was very busy our waitress was still attentive. Food was unbelievable. Must try place!

  • 5/5 Aaron V. 1 year ago on Google
    My wife and I ate here for the first time, and we really enjoyed our experience. The food was quite good, and it was plated particularly well. Pricing was what you could expect of most sit-down restaurants: roughly $15 a person for a meal. We came at happy hour and were greeted with a discounted appetizer menu as well. We ate dinner, but their lunch menu offerings and prices seem very reasonable. Portion sizes were quite generous as well. Many of the meals are served with white rice; the rice was good, but I would definitely recommend upgrading to fried rice for more flavor.

    Eveything we tried was great! I would definately go back again too try other flavors!!

  • 5/5 Alex K. 2 years ago on Google
    Have been to Hajime twice. Was impressed by the quality of food and service. Have tried 8 or nine of the rolls and multiple apps. The calamari is my favorite app though my wife is partial to the beef negimaki. The noodle bowls got high praise, though I stick to sushi. The house cocktails are also interesting and delicious! Go there. Eat food and support a local business!
