Tempura Hajimae OMAKASE Tempura & Sushi Course $150 - Sashimi - Tempura: Chef's selection of 10 pieces - Mixed seaweed salad - Japanese refreshment - Sushi * Varieties of fresh fish on top of vinegared rice & Nori roll & Marbled Japanese Wagyu beef sushi - Dessert Another hidden gem for Omakase in Melbourne! This restaurant is specialised in tempura! All the tempura was fried right in front of you! You get to try the freshest, crispiest and piping hot tempura here! My fav got to be the scallop with uni filling, whiting, unagi and the sweet potato! Everything was so finely made! I seriously can’t fault anything I had. My tummy was truly spoiled by this gorgeous dinner. The set menu is $140-150. It’s much more worthy than the other overhyped Omakase in Melbourne!
Impressive, always. It never disappoint. I still remember my first visit there back in 2009. The standard remains unchanged, both taste, presentation and visual. Recommend with no hesitation.
My first time at tempura place in Melbourne. Does not disappoint. Staff are friendly and service is precise and detail oriented as one would expect. Nice atmosphere. Dining during covid means max of 8 patrons at each serving. We went with the omakase + which is good value for the extra $10. Need to book in advance. I felt very comfortable with dining here during covid. Thanks Hajime for a good night out.
Love that this is a cosy restaurant with only seating for 12 people around the counter. Booking is essential. Set menu is only available for lunch. Took a colleague there for lunch. We had the Sushi set and the Hajime Set. The sashimi was really fresh. Order the Hajime set if you want a bit of everything. Portion size is just right and price is reasonable for its quality. Great ambience too. If you like quality traditional Japanese food, you will enjoy the food here.
One of the best Japanese restaurant in Melbourne. The quality and atmosphere make me feel like I’m back in Japan. Lunch is very reasonable. But definitely I would recommend to try the dinner course meal. You will not regret.
Great place for a laid back and intimate experience. Chief Shigeo expertly prepared tempura and sushi for the six guests that were there. It was a pleasure to see the consistency with which the food was served and the taste was great. From the tempura sweet potato, to the hand made sushi and plum wine the set menu was wonderful. Service staff were extremely kind and very attentive.
Still the best tempura in town. Great service and friendly staff. Lunch menu is affordable too. Highly recommend if you love Japanese cuisine! Vegetarian options: None Kid-friendliness: Not kid friendly Parking: Hard to find parking on street Wheelchair accessibility: Inside the store there is a step to get into the dining area which is not wheelchair friendly.
Tempura Haijime has a solid reputation for being the best tempura bar in Melbourne - and for good reason too. Upon arrival at the restaurant, you will be greeted by incredibly friendly staff members, who will usher you into a waiting lounge, and help you be seated at a 12 seater bar. Given the size of the restaurant, it goes without saying that you must book in advance, and arrive on time especially if you are going to the 530pm dinner sitting. Throughout the meal, we watched the Chef make the tempura piece by piece. He was silent, calm and a pleasure to watch execute his craft. The tempura itself was excellent, with a killer batter recipe. The unagi, sweet potato, scallop tempura pieces were standouts for me. We ordered the $130 p/head course, which for the extra $10, was worth the additional sashimi items. Was it worth the price? Absolutely. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion or to be transported to Japan, this is a great choice.
Small and cosy like tempura restaurant in Japan. Went for lunch and because of lunch sets, not much interaction or frying of tempura by chef in front of the customers which was disappointing, but the food and service was very good. I recommend going for dinner for the full omakase experience though lunch was very good & loved the eel.
Definitely the best Japanese restaurant for tempura. All the dishes were well picked, prepared and cooked by the chef himself. The 2 lovely ladies were super friendly and attentive. It has limited seatings for 12 people for only, which is perfect for a nice & quiet date. One of the best dining experiences that i’ve had here
