This is an excellent shushi experience. The meal is outstanding, and each meal is explained. I would highly recommend. You may have to book weeks in advance, but it is well worth it. Best in Columbus, no question.

Unbelievable experience Chef Yudi and his team create an unbelievable experience. The food is absolutely amazing. I WILL be recommending HARU to everyone I know that likes sushi. If you haven't been yet you need to go and reserve the Omakase experience. You will have amazing food and will learn a lot about the fish and where they come from and why they are on Chef Yudi's ever changing menu. I truly cannot put our experience any other way other than AMAZING. A MUST TRY AND REPEAT PLACE TO EAT!

I had been hearing about Haru for awhile so I finally made reservations for the Chefs table. If you like true sashimi and nigiri, this is the place for you. Getting to speak with Yudi and his sous chef while they prepared everything was a true treat and experience. I learned so much about sushi too, which added to the experience even more. I'm ruined for "sushi" in the future. I only ever want to eat here forever.

Best sushi in Columbus but also incredibly expensive. For the price I shouldn’t still be hungry after dinner where I have to order more food. If the price to eat were reasonable I would eat here once a week but it was almost $500 for 3 of us and we had tea and no alcohol. Kinda ridiculous! I had dinner at Alinea in Chicago which is a top 10 restaurant in the US and one of the best in the world and it was less expensive.

Great experience! We did the counter experience which we really enjoyed learning about the fish and techniques and each sushi we are. Extremely fresh quality, some items were interesting in a good way, some were amazing. Loved that it is seasonal so it never gets boring and they're changing it up and being creative. I didn't enjoy the dessert though. The strawberry crepe cake waa soggy and tasted like cheap sweet syrup. Overall, very clean and nice environment to be in. I wish there was more counter experience options but it's so limited but I highly recommend it.
