From the miso soup, to the strawberry fruit tea, to the sushi, I've enjoyed everything... and that's rare! I would defiantly come back here again

Aly W.

Plenty of street parking was available on a Wednesday afternoon. The shop is small, but has half a dozen cozy booths and a couple tables inside. There was only one server but service was prompt. I was disappointed they were out of honey lemonade, but the regular lemonade was just right: not too sweet, not too tart, very refreshing. A little overpriced, though. Food came out quickly, partly because the tempura salmon roll was not quite what I expected, but probably healthier and still tasty. The philly salmon roll was good as well. I like that they offer a lot of rolls with avocado and without cucumber. Most places overdo it on the cucumber. I wouldn't make a special trip but definitely a place I'll revisit if I'm in the area.

This is the 1st time I've been to their new location & not only the location changed. The taste of their food did as well. The fried Chicken dumplings were not good & they shorted me 1. The beef Ramen tasted , not good. The meat was over cooked , And it was such a small portion for $13.99 . (I'll stick with Sato on Main St. I Love their Ramen & Dumplings ) My son didn't care for anything he ordered & he was so excited to order from there again because the food was so good when it was on Elmwood. He was very disappointed. We will not be ordering from here again.

Salmon Maki Roll

Solid sushi take out during dinner hours, $6-10 per roll. Definitely satisfies the sushi craving. They have a twist on a couple of rolls by adding coconut to it. While it was good to try, I prefer the original versions. Another review mentioned "mushy" rice but I did not notice this during my 2 visits. I also tried the wings but I prefer for them to by crispier. Extremely easy pick up, typically ~15-20 min from the time you call. Looking forward to a return visit for their lunch specials.

Every time I come here I get great food. From Ramen to sushi rolls. Very tasty. A great value too. Great lunch specials too. I will be back. Thank you.

Coconut Shrimp tempura Roll
Jennifer R.

It's been a while since a sushi roll really wowed me -I've tried almost every kind Buffalo has to offer and I certainly have my favorites- but I've just added the coconut tempura shrimp roll from Buffalo sushi express to that list. It is so tasty! My salmon and tuna sashimi was also very fresh and fair priced, in my opinion. The green roll was a nice change of pace from the traditional veggie rolls, with lots of crunchy veggies and seaweed salad on top. I will definitely be back, and I was excited to see that they are setting up for in-restaurant dining, when I got my takeout.

R2. California Roll

I eat sushi almost every day, today I wanted to give this place a shot because it's right near my house. Unfortunately I won't be back unless I see better reviews for them in the future. The menu is very limited. No Yellowtail, no surf clam, no octopus. I think there were like 6 options for sashimi's. The sushi wasn't great at all, the rice was way too mushy. I'd compare it to the TOPS(the supermarket) sushi.....yes I tried theirs once lol xP The man who served me was very friendly and looked happy to serve me and I really appreciate his positive attitude, but he got my order wrong and I was the only customer in there :( I asked for spicy salmon roll and was given spicy tuna :( I don't even like tuna so it was hard to force myself to eat especially with the mushy rice. Only other positive note I can make is that the prices were reasonable, but you get what you pay for. I hope my review helps them make changes because I'd love to frequent and support a new local business.

R3. Philly Crab Roll & R7. Spicy Tuna Roll
Jamie T.

I've driven past, seen the sign, but had yet to catch them open. Then as I was browsing GrubHub tonight, they popped up and decided to give them a try. Obviously I ordered delivery so I have no idea what it's like inside. This review is just for the food. Note: the delivery fee on GrubHub was pretty low. Their menu includes sushi with rice, sashimi, classic rolls, maki rolls, sushi combos, and a few special rolls. They also have sushi party trays. In addition to sushi they have some appetizers, soups, Japanese fried rice, Japanese Ramen noodles, and bento boxes. I ordered two classic rolls, the Philly Crab and the Spicy Tuna. I really enjoyed them both and the ingredients tasted very fresh. I look forward to trying some more.

Soupless Ramen with Ground Pork

Great food and fast service. Love the Teriyaki Basil Fried Rice with Chicken and the Soupless Ramen with Ground Pork.

Black dragon roll
Tim C.

Thrilled to find this place right down the street from work. The sushi is reasonably priced, visually pleasing and delicious. The restaurant is clean and service was fast. Keep up the good work.

TLDR: Go get the gyoza and pork bao and skip the ramen if you live 5-10min away. Skip it altogether…read moreif you live further away. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon around 2pm after seeing all the hype Stepout Buffalo gave this place on IG. We were greeted by someone quickly where she tried explaining how it works - order on a giant touch screen which was simple enough. Didn't love the fact that they ask you for the tip before you even sit down but that's the way this country works these days (spoiler alert: the service was not worth the 20% aka $20 we tipped) The seaweed salad was a bit slimy but generally not bad. The gyoza were excellent, would def order again. So was the pork bao. The meat was perfectly breaded and seasoned and cooked to perfection, and the sauces that went with it were delicious. This is kind of where the greatness ended. Onto the ramen (the main reason we were there), the noodles were honestly not bad but that's pretty much the best part. The soup was non existent and cold by the time you get to it - I think it has to do with the fact that all the vegetable toppings are mostly cold. The broth was also super salty (with no real flavor), I think to make up for the fact that the toppings not being well seasoned (my bean sprouts were completely flavorless). The breaded pork again was good, but I didn't like how it sat in the soup and got soggy, perhaps it should have been served separately on a plate? The grilled sliced pork belly was good and flavorful. I've had ramen all over Japan so believe me when I tell you the broth is not authentic nor is it good, which kinda ruined the entire dish. Our drinks were overpriced and very average tasting. The boba was too mushy but I am from Taiwan, so I guess I have high standards when it comes to boba. All in all, a VERY expensive lunch where neither of us enjoyed our entree (ramen), and given that we live in the southtowns, it's unlikely that we will ever return, even if the gyoza and pork bao were very tasty. As a final note, the atmosphere sucked. The workers talked and giggled very loudly the entire time as if no one understood what they were saying (unfortunately for them, I understood every word). FYI - This place is NOT Japanese despite its Japanese name.

Today was my second time at Haruko Craft Ramen. It was my first time back before the ramen menu…read morechanged so I was excited to try it again. When walking in, you order on a large screen and seat yourself. Unfortunately to order on the screen it charged us a $3 "NYC online ordering fee" which was very odd (in addition to sales tax) - in addition the screen also asks you for a tip before you even sit down! But we weren't given any other way to order besides the screen which was a turn off with an extra fee involved My date and I ordered the creamy tonkatsu and creamy broth with pork. Overall, the ramen wasn't terrible, but it really lacked a home style ramen flavor and was not hot. This may be something I've never said, but they brought the ramen out in less than 5 minutes which makes me think the ingredients aren't fresh. There were no additional sauces or anything at the table to add flavor to the ramen. I also wouldn't describe it as a creamy broth at all. We also ordered the takoyaki which to me seemed like a frozen variety. We also each got a bubble tea which was not anything special. It was surprising they didn't have a taro slush option. The server did bring out the food to us, but the extra "online" fee when ordering was a bit of a turn off in addition to the lackluster ramen. Overall I probably don't see a compelling reason to come back.

I would have preferred steamed dumplings, but there was no choice, fried only. The taste was very nice and they were pleasantly crunchy. (photo) I loved the broth of the soup; it was plenty hot enough and perfect for cold and flu season. I would have liked broth only, and I asked if I could have without the rice noodles. Yes, I could, but the price would be the same. Okay, so I took the noodles on the side, to go. Even so, I was shocked to see the size of the soup bowl. It had to be at least a quart of soup, with chicken, wood ear mushrooms, bok choy, fried tofu. The rice noodles would have put the soup to the brim. Seems there is only one size of everything. If all of the soups are served in these quart bowls, plan on sharing with one or two others if ordering soup. They will give you extra bowls and spoons, as they did for us. Even with the two of us having some soup, I took about a third home. (photo) I had one of the Crispy Pies, scallion and pork. The filling was too thin or maybe the dough was too thick. Or a little of both. (photo) Employees are friendly and pleasant, eager to be helpful. JBC is a new and welcome addition to the Marshall's Plaza. Prices of some things may seem high, but if the foods we had today are typical, plan on sharing or taking some home.

The hostess told us that they would not take a pick up order until 8:30 (um ok....). But since it was 8:12, we decided to WAIT until 8:30 to order rather than finding an alternative to feed our family who already picked out their orders. So, we waited in our car for 20 minutes, and called back ready to place are order. The hostess said that the kitchen is now "not taking orders". I explained the situation and asked if we could just get a few ramen since we just waited at her direction. She must not realize that rent on Elmwood is expensive, or that there are bills to be paid, or that humans ordering food pay the bills, or that an owner would appreciate this $100 ramen order or the many orders we place all year, or large eat in bills because there is no attempt to keep us as a customer. We live in the neighborhood and love to support local restaurants and businesses and our family of 6 places large orders. Last time we were in to eat the service was bad as well. It took about 20 minutes to get our drinks. And the time before that we came on my daughters birthday and they said they weren't seating parties of 6 even though the entire restaurant was open. Hmmm. We literally could see every open table. My daughter in her 10 year old birthday crown telling them how much she loved ramen didn't even make them flinch since they seem to have delicious broth and no souls. We will keep spending our money at local establishments that treat customers like humans.

The garden salad, likewise, has only iceberg lettuce and a citrus mayo dressing. I enjoyed my grilled squid: It was a large portion, and the char had a great flavor. The sushi was very tender, and the rice was well seasoned.

I say this as a former sushi chef as well as someone who has been to over two dozen sushi…read morerestaurants in 7 different states. -Sushi rice was bland and slightly dry. Needed more sushi vinegar. If the ingredients are measured out, which they said it was when I pointed it out, then this should never have be an issue. -Garnish, specifically the lettuce on the sushi plate was old, mushy, and unappealing. They should have left it off the plate if that was all they had left. Sushi is about presentation more so than most food and this was not done well. -Miso soup. This was not traditional miso soup. I know there are miso soup with daikon as an add on, but there's usually wakame in it. There was no enoki mushroom either like it says on their menu. The ones I uses to make, and all the sushi restaurants I've been to were the traditional tofu, wakame and diced green onions. Have that as a first option since more widely known, and make the daikon as a second option. Also, miso broth was bland. Needed more bonito flakes. Equipment - you guys need to periodically check your tables and chairs for damage. When I grabbed my chair by the seat to scoot myself closer to the table the seat came off. Need to balance out the portions of ingredients in your rolls. California roll needed more imitation crab. There was too much cucumber and avocado. You guys need to focus more on quality and presentation instead of having a ton of different roll on your menu. When you are pricing your sushi like a mid-high end restaurant, the quality and presentation needs to match. I read the reviews on this place and thought all the kinks would have been worked out by now, but it seems not. We didn't try out the other non-sushi dishes they had on their menu, so we have no opinions on them. I am one of the few who will not be coming here again for sushi.

We weren't in a rush. I ordered a Diet Coke and it seems that all Japanese and Chinese places that I go to lately they only give you cans of pop which seems weird to me, but whatever ! And this seems like a higher end type restaurant too. It's not a cheap little restaurant. This is a pretty pricey place, but like I said, it is delicious. I highly recommend going there and eating. Hopefully, you'll be as satisfied as my son and I were.
