Editorial Review for Hashiguchi Jr. Japanese Restaurant – by Wendy Wolfenbarger
The Scene
The often stifling and noisy crowds offer proof of Hashigushi Jr.'s reputation for serving some of the city's freshest sushi. In addition to the sushi bar, the long and narrow space is divided into several dining sections, all of which are unified by barely existent decor. Sushi chefs are chatty and willing to walk diners through the day's best offerings and specials.
The Food
The rolled sushi is masterfully crafted and doesn't skimp on fillings: a California roll combines just the right mix of crab and avocado, while the smoked salmon roll plumps with meat. The tuna and red snapper--from the more than 30 choices of nigiri--are finely cut and firm. Thick udon noodles in broth and the house miso soup are comfortable in their mildness. Tempura is the only letdown; shrimp and sliced vegetables are served hot and crisp, but unbearably oily.

I would like to clarify that what jimt ordered "Chef's Choice" is really a random draw based on what the Chef chooses. In my opinon, it's a way for the restaurant to clear out old inventory (i.e. there's 20 tuna and 50 california rolls, both which may expire soon). I have stayed clear of Chef's choice because you never know what you're going to get (like a box of chocolates). So I don't think the restaurant can be judged by one Chef's Choice order. It was just a bad pick. I recommend the Katsu Don ($7-$8). In my opinion, Hasiguchi Jr. is pretty authentic if you're looking for Japanese food. However, given the atmosphere it is a bit overpriced, but still worth a try.
Pros: Authentic Japanese
Cons: Slightly overpriced given the atmosphere

Oh my gosh - the sushi here is absolutely divine, esp. the salmon. So fresh it literally feels like it could melt in your mouth. I wanted more! I heard great reviews so I wanted to try it for myself. After reading the other Citysearch reviews about having no ambience, calling the restaurant and finding out they have no website, seeing the handwritten signs on their door and handwritten menus -- I had to assume rightly that Hashiguchi Jr. instead decided to invest more in serving the freshest & most delicious sushi, getting a great sushi chef, & keeping the prices very reasonable. If you are a true sushi connoisseur, no need to spend the ridiculous prices at MF to pay for ambience if true sushi is what your heart desires. The entire crowd here was all Japanese clientele with just a couple of exceptions - which further makes me believe they must serve great sushi. While service was friendly, service was slow. Only 1 sushi chef ... and wish the waitresses could be better about drink refills. My favorites - salmon & Pacific. Not so favorites - Rainbow, spicy tuna. Next time I would like to try their Ramen -- they have several kinds, and the menu description intrigued me ...
Pros: Sushi, friendly wait staff, prices, variety of menu selection
Cons: Slow service, no website
