   This is as good as world-class sushi I've had anywhere -- New York, LA, Vegas, wherever. Spectacular service, great wine pairings, and every bite was better than the last.

   Excellent food and sake! We enjoyed everything so much and staff was friendly. I wish there was more description from the staff on the sake and flavor notes as they poured. Everything arrived on time and it was an amazing experience.

   The quality of the sushi could be improved fish’s freshness is gone cover by lime / lemon peels additionally mushy sushi rice (using too much water) need ask for soy sauce & wasabi won't provide .. way far from high quality like they said

   Hi AFC, We are sorry to read that your experience was less than exceptional, it appeared to us that you and your party thoroughly enjoyed the food and service. We stand by the quality of our seafood, our fish is flown in directly from Japan weekly which we personally pick up. Each piece of sushi is seasoned; some traditionally, paying tribute to traditional Japanese omakase preparation and some more contemporary. We graciously serve soy sauce and wasabi for those who request. Executive Chef Yudi's experience with sushi spans 20 years, with establishments including Nobu Miami and Mandrake Rooftop. The execution of his craft exceeds the high-standards we set for ourselves as a fine-dining restaurant and we are glad our other guests’ five-star reviews are reflective of that.

   Exceptional dining experience. The menu is designed fully for you. The food is incredibly high quality. This was my second time at HARU. The first was so good, I had to come back! Service is consistently excellent. The sake pairing truly enhances the meal. The dessert was a matcha creme brulee. It has the most perfect sugar on top. It was the perfect crunch. We also added the wagyu as an add on. It was worth it! This is absolutely worth a try for a big night out or special occasion.

   Fantastic experience and they even catered to a dairy allergy on the dessert course.

   We didn’t know what to expect when we arrived at Haru. It was a wonderful experience. Each course was beautifully presented and delicious. We were told the menu will change every 6 weeks and we will certainly be back to check out what the chef creates. The fish was so fresh and great flavors. It would be hard to choose but I think the cuttlefish was my favorite.

   A+!! Our experience was wonderful! I set up this surprise for my husband’s birthday. We arrived after dark so the restaurant didn’t even look open, which I actually liked! The set up of the restaurant was intimate, cozy and elevated. We arrived early and were able to have a seat in the little waiting area (two chairs and a small couch). We were greeted by Jeff who was able to set us up with drinks while we waited. We opted to do the Omakase experience under the bar seating with Head Chef Yudi and his team. There are only six seats at the bar, so make sure to make a reservation if you’d like the omakase experience (interact with chef + watch him prepare the meals + learn more about the food on an item by item basis). Highly recommend. My husband did a sake pairing for each “tour”. They call each course a tour! My husband is not a sake fan but he really enjoyed their selections. The food was incredible! There wasn’t one thing we didn’t love! The first tour of ceviche style salad and the matcha crème brûlée were my favorites! So many of the sushi selections were melt in your mouth, buttery soft! We highly recommend this experience, but just note, I’d say it is for more experienced diners (but don’t let that scare you away!) and expect to pay a decent amount and tip appropriately since they are all hands on deck to take care of you. The price was worth the experience for us! So happy we have a concept like this here.

    Best sushi I’ve ever had - every bite! Sitting at the chef table was a bonus getting to hear about every serving and watching the sushi chefs at work with their art. Each piece was a work of art. And matcha crème brûlée - the bomb!!
