Haru upon entering is a very suburban like sushi joint, as far as decor goes. It's big, has a lot of dark wood and only an essence of Japanese design. This would typically make me think the sushi would be quite mediocre, as I'm pretty harsh when it comes to ethnic food found in the deep, new suburban areas.
I was absolutely wrong. The service was fantastic and while the menu is pretty standard fare, the quality for the price was outstanding. I don't usually go for just sashimi, but the salmon and tuna were so tender, and light. There was no whiff of fish smell or wasabi hidden underneath with the rice to try hide a lack of quality in the food. This was melt in your mouth goodness. The spicy prawn roll was also a hilite. So much crunch and just a smattering of hot sauce to kick up the flavour a notch. My favourite part of the meal was the green tea ice cream. The presentation was well done, coming in two triangle shapes with a drizzle of light chocolate sauce and some crunchy sweet potato flakes on top, which added another level of texture. I don't tend to venture down this far south, but it's definitely a must for those living closer by.
