When I was looking through Yelp for a restaurant, what caught my eyes was the bento box so I…read moredecided to give this place a try. It was located by china town Victoria and a little hidden away. However, once you walk in it is beautiful! Very much gives of Japan vibes. I order the bento box and it comes with a few sushi pieces and tempura. I thought the tempura was okay and the sushi was pretty good. The ramen was alright as well. I think it's cause San Diego has so many good places so I was too spoiled. The best dish was the tofu appetizer, it came with a little dashi or soy sauce and it was so good. My favorite was the salmon sushi and the roll we got out of the main dishes that we ordered Overall this place isn't bad for a quick dine in.

=== 1. VERDICT/VALUE In the food desert that is southern…read moreCordova Bay...Haro Sushi is like an oasis. The Korean proprietors offer primarily sushi and few Korean options when looking for something a little different than the Western cuisine options nearby / down the road. And you won't be disappointed either - recommended for friends; I'm definitely returning when I can also! === 2. FOOD The bento box may be the best value on the menu. We happened to choose a number of items for takeout this evening: - California Roll ($6.50) - Haro Roll ($18.50) - Pork Gyoza ($7) - Maki Combo ($18) - Dynamite Combo ($18) - Salmon Sashimi ($15) - Chicken Udon ($13.99) - Kimbob Roll ($8.50) - Japchae The only thing I might think about before ordering again would be the udon: see my picture, so it wasn't bad but it was unusual how they did the soup and they put red peppers in there, which is unusual... === 3. SERVICE Service over the phone and in person were great in English; they staff speak to each other in Korean and I can only presume service would have been just fine for Korean-speaking patrons. The food was also prepared reasonably quick. === 4. ENVIRONMENT So it's plain white inside - a clean white. There is bar-style seating at the front window and a few small tables meant for groups of 2 or 4 inside. Wheelchairs and baby strollers should have no challenges fitting and the parking is as plentiful as it gets in the this relatively-new residential shopping complex.

The servers are always trying to get you in and out fast, don't smile, unfriendly and just rude. The ambiance is ok, the seating by the bathroom is a big red flag.

FOOD Salt (Shio) Ramen ($16.50) The broth here makes the difference - thick, and true to flavour when one steeps a long time with bones - it's good and flavourful, yet not too salty and it doesn't leave you thirsting to drink anything thereafter. The Japanese-style BBQ pork slices, delicately-boiled egg and bean sprouts of course work well. Pork Egg Don ($18.25) Great pork tonkatsu - lightly battered the way it should be and it overall a great choice of dish if you're not looking for something soupy! Fried Rice ($4 for regular size; $7 for large size if buying an entree) I think it's worth it - it's tasty but a little salty and the portion size is good ofr sharing between two people! === 3. SERVICE I've only ever seen three people work there before and so while service is professional, they can get a little busy when the house is fulll (which is not uncommon). But it's worth it. And the leader/owner (?) is always cognizant of little kids including my own and is ready to hand out a choice of a random Pokemon card to bring more smiles into the establishment! === 4. ENVIRONMENT It's all, a little dim, and maybe updated in the 90's. The lights are different coloured, but they clearly spend the money on the staff and food. There are a few two-seat, and four seat tables/booths. There is a single table that seats up to eight. Wheelchairs and baby strollers could fit but only barely and they may best stay near the front. Parking is about as lucky as you get in the shopping complex which seems to ebb and flow throughout the day!

Simple,…read morerelaxed layout and direct, no nonsense service, but the ramen is fantastic and prices are reasonable. Mostly spicy bowls (one non-spicy called the "Salt" that I always get due to food allergies). Lots of options for "extras" (e.g., meat, corn). You can get a basic side of fried rice that is a nice add-on. It has a warm, social vibe and is popular with the younger crowd. Appreciate that the guys offer my kid a Pokémon card at the end of each meal - makes him feel welcome.

Their portions are fantastic, and for such a great price. The mixed veggies were excellent, the tuna was good, and I loved the squash croquette. One thing that I didn't like, was the tempera batter, it was a bit too hard. Next time, I would love to try the chef's special. One of my neighboring tables ordered it, and it looks like it would be good for 2-3 people to share if they ordered a few other small items. They have a dog friendly patio.

According to the owner it's only been about 5 months since they've opened. We're just tourists staying in the area and hoping Yelp could direct us to a decent place in Langford. Well we found one... the establishment is super clean with cheerful jazz background music. The curry is made from scratch, you could taste the subtle yet earthy notes. The menchi is the highlight, juicy yet packs a crunch and not oily at all... now that takes skill at the right temperature The udon reminds me of Korean style jam bons... noodle soup with flavors appearing to be wok/pan fried first, then added to the noodles and broth bringing out stronger seared flavors. All in all an enjoyable experience with lots of food for the money. Worth a visit.

The platter included oysters, scallops, hamachi, tuna, sockeye salmon, prawns, prawn heads, and squid. Surprisingly the squid was really good, since I am not normally a squid sashimi person, but it was so tender. The oysters were creamy, and the scallops were nice and sweet. The oshi was supposed to come with truffle, but I couldn't taste any. Other than that it was very tasty.

As someone who tries many different sushi places in smaller towns and cities, I am usually disappointed by the toro (which is usually just tuna not toro) and the lack hotate and uni on the menu. Here, the sushi was delicious enough that it pulled me in for another plate of toro sashimi. Service was really great too. I inquired about a dish after it was served and the waiter noticed the issue and did not hesitate to go beyond my expectations to make up for the error. A lot of negative reviews mentioning the AYCE. My suggestion is to not eat "all you can eat" for Japanese food.
