| - I went to Harumi for my birthday; I was seeking an authentic Japanese experience considering I used to live there, ands miss Japan dearly. Harumi did not let me down. The moment I stepped foot into the joint, I felt so comfortable. The staff were using simple Japanese and seemed to appreciate when I complimented them in their language. The atmosphere is partially casual, but honestly, you can make a night at Harumi into any sort of occasion. I'd go there alone, dressed up for clubbing with my girls, or on an intimate date. It's really what you make of it. The food.... The rolls are incredible. You know when you go to sushi and it takes 15-20 minutes for your first plate to come out? Well, say goodbye to that poor service and even poorer quality of food. Before I could slip in another order, I had a steaming hot plate of gyoza at my fingertips, within 60 seconds of placing the order. I swear to you the potstickers were still sizzling. We tried the Harumi and the Oh My God rolls. Nothing beats the smoky essence permeating the tangy-fresh flavors of the OMG roll, which is set on fire at a table-side presentation. The signature Harumi roll is mild enough for finicky eaters, yet an adventurous roll for those who enjoy a great dollop of wasabi on their bite. I was lucky enough to sample the mochi green tea ice cream, which is palate-cleansing and as authentic of a dessert that I've encountered in the US. Give Harumi a shot!
