Haru is getting 4.5 stars for being an excellent middle of the road priced non-AYCE sushi restaurant.
We got here late Friday night expecting a crowded restaurant, but it turned out to be a nice and quiet room with no wait; the tables were not crowded closely together, and they didn't blast any music super loud that I hate about all restaurants these days because I end up shouting conversation with my diners.
The California rolls we had were super fresh, and they make very flavourful sushi rice.
Service was attentive and polite, and wait staff actually smiled and didn't act like they were too good for their job (which is a common characteristic of many Asian restaurants in busy Markham/Richmond Hill).
The table that sat next to us had food sensitivity questions, and the staff took the time to check with the kitchen to ensure their orders would be safe to eat before taking down the items.
*As for comments in previous posts about Haru having a poster telling people to keep their children under control, though a poster may have been overly-explicit I think it's still an interesting effort and experiment in telling people "Hey, if you can't stand the noise your kids make at home so out of habit you let them out like caged animals to go nuts in public spaces, please be considerate of other people who are also paying customers that want a nice dining experience because our restaurant is not a daycare and we would overstep to tell you how to conduct yourselves outside your home, but since you have no manners and let your kids run around anyway and you've given yourself a night-off from dealing with them...now we've resorted to telling you how to discipline and raise your spawn. Sorry, not sorry!"
