Haru Japanese Restaurant located right across from World Bowl where Cafe 28 used to be.
The set up is similar as before with a little bit of facelift which is much needed as the old deco was quite dated and depressing.
I could not review them based on their lunch special as it is only offered till 2:30 pm Monday to Friday. I got here at 2:45 and had to order from the regular menu.
Sushi & Roll Combo ($14.95)
- good balance between portion of rice and fish and they all bite size
- shari rice cooked well with nice bite
- fish selection though boring with 3 of them being Salmon, tuna was not of the freshest kind
Portion though small but really nice for the chef to comp me a Salmon hand roll which was the best part of the meal. The seaweed was oh so crunchy!
Service though was really green. My waiter is like a high school kid trying to be professional. I wouldn't say is bad but he kind of freak out when I asked for the lunch menu after my sushi, kept telling me I could not order from it! I reassured him that all I want was just check it out...
There are also some Korean items in the menu if you do prefer that.
I will be back for lunch special to try out their Korean offerings soon.
