Date night! Hajime in Elk River is a solid local spot if you're craving Japanese food. I ordered…read morethe filet mignon hibachi and my husband went with the spicy crab roll and the Anchor's Tattoo roll. Everything we had was flavorful and fresh - the hibachi was especially delicious, even if it wasn't the full show-style experience you might expect from a traditional hibachi place. The rolls were well-prepared, with good texture and balance. Service was friendly and quick, and our food came out without much wait, which is always a plus. That said, the interior could definitely use some updates. The decor and furniture feel worn and outdated, which stands out more when you consider the price point. It's not enough to ruin the experience, but a little refresh could go a long way. A few small things: the spinach salad served with the hibachi wasn't my favorite - the dressing was a bit off for my taste - and I missed the usual mushroom soup that typically comes with hibachi meals. Also, a heads-up to fellow diners: the fried rice came with chicken by default, which wasn't listed, and I would've preferred the plain white rice instead. All in all, Hajime delivers on food quality and service. With some minor adjustments and a facelift inside, it could easily be a standout. We'll be back!

Really delicious sushi - huge rolls! Quick service. Absolutely loved it !…read more The place is clean and modern and you can see the chefs making the rolls from your seat. I really loved everything we had. Edamame, yellowtail jalapeno, Crazy Jaguar, and Sexy Lady were amazing! I can't remember what the 3rd roll was but they were all delicious. The staff also took us in with 45 mins to close which was really nice because we just finished a workout and were looking for a quick sushi fix.

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.

I love Yanagi it's easily one of my go-to sushi spots. The staff is always so nice and welcoming,…read moreif you come here often enough they'll even remember your order. The raw sushi is really fresh and super good, and everything we ordered was delicious. The spicy yellowtail and tuna avocado rolls were so good, and the shrimp tempura had a nice crunch without being too heavy. Portions are solid for the price too and ordering online for pickup is super easy and quick. Definitely one of those reliable spots where you know you're going to get good sushi every time.

This place has officially become our go to sushi spot in Rogers. Great quality, super affordable,…read moreand just all around great. We're both vegetarians, so sushi can be hit or miss. Usually it's just cucumber rolls and maybe avocado if you're lucky. But this place has so many good veggie options. Everything we've tried has been fresh and flavorful. Our favorite is definitely the sweet potato roll. It's warm, crispy, and just insanely good. We also love the AAC roll (avocado, asparagus, cucumber), and there's one with avocado and peanuts that sounds kind of weird at first but is actually amazing. The combo totally works. We even get the Philadelphia roll with no salmon, and it's still super tasty. The staff are always friendly and super accommodating. They're happy to customize rolls however you want, which makes a huge difference for us as vegetarians. It's just easy and relaxed. The space itself is also really nice. Open, bright, and clean. It has a fresh, modern feel without being too fancy. Just a comfortable place to sit and enjoy a good meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Or even if you're not, honestly. It's worth the trip.

I ordered the hibachi steak and shrimp and Hollywood roll for delivery. I asked for medium rare on…read morethe steak. They got the request because they wrote medium rare on the lid. What I got was some kind of soup with vegetables, a beyond well-done steak that was so overdone I literally could not chew it. The shrimp were so overdone they were like dry rubber even with all the soupy juices. The vegetables were passable. The soup base was very sweet. The sushi roll was delicious but awkward because it was hot. The "fried rice" was under seasoned white rice with random bits of egg. Really gross. I also received a soup but it was so scalding hot I burned my mouth severely. I will not order from here again. The yum-yum sauce was very thin but delicious!

This spot is in a strip mall, plenty of parking. It's dimly lit but has tons of seating and a sushi bar near the back. It was happy hour when I arrived. I opted for the chicken fried rice w/veggies, garlic broccoli, sassy roll. Everything was fresh and good. The fried rice portion was huge! I did have to add sriracha and soy sauce to give it a little flavor.

I can't speak on the ambiance or table service, however they know us by name and always pay special attention to us every time we visit. If you want fresh American Chinese food this is the best I have had in a long time. I have lived in Seattle and NC. They do their stir frys perfectly for take out. The veggies are still crisp and the rice fluffy. I have tried most the non seafood stir frys and they are consistently well seasoned and cooked. When I ask for spicy, they give it to me. I usually do soups from here when I'm sick. I don't like my soups thickened so I do thin it out when I get home. The soups are full of all the right things and I really enjoy the hot and sour soup, egg drop soup, and panang curry. I usually have about 3 meals from a single large soup order. If you are looking for a very affordable lunch, they have specials! I can usually make two meals or of my dinner combo.
