| - This was okay sushi, not great, and I can't understand why. Maybe they were just off tonight. We are long-time fans of Harumi Sushi in Phoenix and have waited for this opening for a long time, so why were we not impressed? The quality of the fish was mediocre and chewy, not the melt in your mouth experience we have come to expect at Harumi. Was it because it was a Monday? We had 2 orders each of Salmon, Yellowtail, and Tuna, on the unique black rice that has made Harumi famous, but was slightly dry tonight. The rolls were okay, we had the H3, Over the Rainbow Roll and the but fell apart easily, and again the fish was even more mediocre than that on the nigiri. Also, the ambiance was on the depressing side - in a strip mall with the "Savers" sign in full view while sitting in the restaurant. The music was bad 80's pop music. This restaurant is not trendy or particularly cozy in terms of decor, although the service was great and it is a lot closer than down town Phoenix. I'm going to try again, with the hope that the sushi will be the extraordinary experience that I would love to have in my backyard.
