Comment: This place offers very authentic sushi, arguably the best in Westchester. Im puzzled why its never listed in Westchester Magazine. The only downside is its lack of fanciness, and the restroom should be avoided.

Comment: We did the omakase. It was one of the most unique omakase experiences that we have had. It was not just a bite of very fancy sushi for each course. There was a wide variety of Japanese food at each course. Some was cooked and some was raw. The last course was a large plate of sushi and sashimi. The overall quality of the food was excellent.

Comment: The best in Westchester. This is an authentic, Japanese style, sushi restaurant. It’s not about fancy creations. It’s about the fish. Always the freshest, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. The staff is friendly and Sam, the sushi chef and owner is friendly and attentive. Not cheap, but worth every penny!

Comment: I’ve been looking for a good sushi spot since I moved out of the city, and this place is it. Amazing quality fish, super quick and attentive service, and very comforting vibes. The Hajime special is an incredible deal, and the green tea is *chefs kiss.* It’s right by the Harrison train station so it’s super convenient despite me living 3 towns away. Will definitely be making this a regular visit. Love love love, highly recommend!Edit: i have indeed become a regular here lol. It’s my happy place

Comment: If youre a hardcore sushi fan and youve never stepped foot in this establishment, can you even call yourself a real sushi lover? This place has exceeded all of my expectations with its flavorful food. The first bite of sushi instilled in me pure bliss; the balanced flavors of the vinegar rice and of the fish smoothly intertwine with each other. And dont get me started on the fish---the fish is super fresh, and I can taste the effort that went into sourcing this high-quality ingredient. The simple act of tasting the food has given me immense respect for the sushi masters artistry and pride in their craft. Eating here is an experience I will never forget, and I am eager to come back, hungry for more.

Comment: Best sushi in Westchester and better than many places in NYC. Anyone looking for extravagant rolls drowning in sauce will be at the wrong place in Hajime; they are wonderful in their simplicity, letting the quality of their fish do the talking. They also have traditional izakaya items.Staff is always helpful and caring and the chefs will always greet you like you are family. Highly recommended.

Comment: AUTHENTIC Japanese cuisine, fresh fresh fish, top quality service, and miso soup that’s the best in Westchester. This is the real deal, a local mom/pop shop that’s brings me memories of meals in Osaka and Kyoto. I am fortunate enough to have found this place years ago, and even more fortunate it’s still around. If all you care about is decor and quantity, don’t bother coming. If you care about quality and deliciousness, then look no further, this is your final stop for authentic Japanese outside of Manhattan.

Comment: My favorite thing to get here is the chirashi, an assortment of sashimi over seasoned sushi rice. Their wasabi is impeccably fresh. Be sure to ask for green tea. This place is the real deal.
