This is the best Japanese food in the east end of the city. I, strongly recommend trying out this restaurant. The restaurant is cozy, has great prices and delicious food. The service is impeccable. I will be back!

I recently visited this restaurant again after having a positive experience with my coworkers at a team lunch. Unfortunately, our latest visit was a letdown. The service was terrible, and the food wasn't fresh. When we complained about the spoiled salmon, the staff only removed the salmon, leaving the rice it was served with. To make matters worse, there were fruit flies buzzing around. Despite my reservations, I felt compelled to share my disappointing experience.

Me and my boyfriend went for a little afternoon meal and it was lovely here! they have a really good deal on a bento box meal with many different options. Everyone working was very kind and made the experience wonderful! definitely recommend if you are in the area!!

The food was okay but the workers are so rude and irresponsible. None of them know how to cater to the customers and they all act like a bunch of rats running around looking for cheese. The food was at best a 3/10, the noodles were stale and so was the rice. Definitely not cooked recently and tasted as if it’s been reheated. Horrible restaurant, horrible owners and horrible workers. Would never come back or recommend to anyone. I have no idea how they got good reviews because in my experience it was just plain terrible.

The Hajime ramen is (much) worse than packet ramen, to the point where we didn’t even finish it. The broth is too tangy and too thin, and the noodles were still in the shape of a puck when I got them. Also, if you order the veggie option, they omit the egg (despite the Skip menu saying it comes with egg regardless of whether you select pork or veggies). TLDR: avoid the ramen

I’ve eaten here twice now, lovely people running the place, amazing food, decent prices for what you’re getting, all of it was great! Will definitely be back!

food was mind blowing and out of this world. definitely go if you are really hungry. perfect for a busy day. the service is really good too and the staff are friendly thank u sm!
