Tempura Hajime - South Melbourne

I really loved the experience to have dinner in a small room with only 12 people and the chef doing the food in front of you. The food and the service were more than enough. I recommend to try it.

If you love tempura, you must come here to try it. Fresh cook in front of you, lightly battered with your own choice of traditional tempura sauce or lemon juice with pink salt. We had to say we haven’t had this kind of tempura for a long time. Sashimi and sushi are good as well.

The details are felt in the Tempura Hajime, which is a Japanese-style minimalist that can accommodate only 12 people. Each set of different styles from each guest 's cutlery set is unique, and the oil paper under each tempura is quickly replaced.<br/ The seemingly simple tempura is not simple, not just 'fried '. The details are in control of the time of the ingredients, the thickness of the bread, the crispy layer of the coat, the temperature of the oil temperature, and the indispensable! Perfect entrance to every coat and ingredients.

Have you ever eaten a prawn and really, really loved it? The prawn I had at Tempura Hajime was simply the best prawn I’ve ever eaten. It was flavoursome beyond words. This place is amazing. There’s no tempura like it in Melbourne. Sister restaurant Yu.u may have closed down but Tempura Hajime continues to fly the flag for amazing Japanese food. Just go.

Came here to celebrate my anniversary with my partner. We had tempura and sushi set. It was one of the most enjoyable dining experience. You get to watch the chef closely preparing your tempura in perfection. Tempuras were so fluffy, crunchy and clean taste. Sushi were really fresh and delicious as well. <br/ <br/ Will I be back?
