| - Great for lunch with lots of combos/specials that are decently priced. If you opt-out from their lunch menu, soup, salad and icecream is served only if you order $15 worth of food per person before taxes. To be honest, you won't miss out on much if you don't get it. Miso soup was decent but I personally did not like the salad. Something off about the dressing that just didn't work for me. Ice cream was extremely hard and it took us so long to cut through it for every bite that we gave up halfway.
Sushi however, is quite good and nicely presented. My boyfriend ordered LC6 from the lunch menu containing 6 sashimi pieces, 5 nigiri pieces and 5 pieces of their Dynamite roll. Albeit the sashimi cut could've been a tad thicker, it was really fresh.
I would highly recommend coming here for the rolls because there's a pretty big selection (a lot of interesting combinations) and the ones under the specials are huge in size! Better value for sure. I loved the Rich Roll!! The shrimp tempura was so crispy and the roll just had a ton of flavour! All the components worked really well together - the avocado, cucumber, fish egg, shredded crab, spicy salmon. Yum.
Spicy Salmon Roll is rather heavy as they use shredded potatoes instead of tempura bits. It was an interesting twist but the potatoes take away from the taste of the salmon sashimi. Overall, the roll just doesn't have the soft yet crunchy texture that is usually found in your typical spicy salmon roll. I have mixed feelings about this one.
Wasn't a big fan of the sauce used on the Dynamite Roll which is on the sweeter side. Would've preferred it plain or just your good ol' spicy mayo.
Service was lovely. I believe our server was in fact the owner and she was super attentive and friendly.
This place is kind of in the middle of nowhere. The only thing recognizable around was World Bowl which was across the street. Outside also looks sketchy but the interior is new, clean and nicely designed.
Haru has its hits and misses. Not bad but not memorable.
