Food is excellent. Service is good, clean, dependable. It is comfort food at its finest.

I saw online that haru sold the trendy ice cream that looked like fruit and its usually hard to find. So my fiancee and I had to go and get it.. funny thing, we went but didnt end up buying that.. lol. We had never been there before and when we walked in we were surprised to see they have a little international store in the back of the restaurant. So much to look at it from snacks to spices to cold and frozen items.. they had so many different flavors of oreos and kit kats! they had fridges and freezers with drinks, coffees, ice cream , dessert items, ect.. It was all set up nicely and easy to access all the items. The restaurant looked nice and clean. We didn't eat there this time but will go back because everything sounded good. The staff was also very nice and wasnt bothered that we were there just for the store part. We ended up getting different flavored rice crackers and had to try different flavors of kit kats.. along with some cookies and tea.. Cant wait to go back for items and the restaurant. read more

Overall rating: 4.5/5 I have been to Haru multiple times, with friends, family, ordering take-out or dining in. I finally decided to opt out of my usual Miso ramen order and try the donburi. My absolute favorite appetizers are the karaage chicken and takoyaki, it is very hard to find quality of either in town and each order has never been less than great. The menu is detailed and include vegetarian and vegan options. I had the chicken curry katsudon, the chicken was breaded and fried well, and the curry contained potatoes, carrots, and onions, yet it felt really heavy on the carrots, and I couldn't finish them all. My partner had the Kuro ramen, which he gets every time, but this time level 3 spice didn't seem spicy. Whenever we order to-go, it is visibly clear when it is level 3. The service was fast and friendly for a Thursday night, the lychee martini and draft Sapporo that we always order still tasted as good as ever. read more

Food: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 My coworkers love this place and now I see why! This is one of the most flavorful bowls of ramen I've had in Reno!! I haven't stopped thinking about it since I had it. My friends have tried other non-Ramen bowls on the menu and had great things to say about it. They open at 11:30 and are usually packed by 12, so get there early for lunch! The servers did a good job of managing the large crowd. There's plenty of seating for large parties (I've been here with a group of 8), a spacious pickup/takeout area, and small bar seating (but they don't serve regular bar drinks). I need to get back here ASAP to try some more menu items! read more

Haru - Haru Shoyu Ramen - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have been wanting to try out this ramen restaurant and Haru did not disappoint. Upon entering, a staff member greeted us and asked if we preferred the bar or table. We opted for a table. The interior is very open and you are able to see the cooks/chefs making the food if you sit at the bar. The inside also has a corner with snacks to buy. This is my second time here and it is still good. I ordered the Haru Shoyu Ramen. The ramen was not overcooked and everything was seasoned well. The staff are efficient at their job and got our orders in at a timely manner. The wait was not very long for the food to come out. Definitely would come back here again and try other items on the menu. read more

Haru - Shishito peppers and some good Dai Dai beer - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

I have never been to Haru and my friends wanted to meet there before the movies so I said "why not". I got there first and walk in and immediately greeted. I said " I need a table for 5. We normally don't seat you until your party is all here. I said "can I order a beer while I wait". We take the orders when you sit down. Can I sit at the bar? He finally let me sit at the table then one of my friends showed up and I was so happy! We had service immediately and I ordered a Sapporo and my friend ordered appetizers while others arrived shortly after. My friend is obsessed with Ramen. He's like Diane you must try it. I wasn't feeling hungry and I was saving myself for movie popcorn so I chose to get the potbelly screwers and the short ribs. I found the potbelly to be gaming tasting and the ribs to be tough, but flavorful. I really loved the dumplings/potstickers were my favorite. I wish I ordered those as my main dish. The Japanese fried chicken was good too. I loved the Japanese candy selections. Fun to try something new. I need to go back and try the Ramen is my goal when I'm super hungry for noodles. I was so busy catching up with friends I forgot to take photos of the food. Next time!! read more

Wow!! This place is incredible and so far we've only shopped from the little market. There is such a wide variety of items to choose from! There's lots of room to sit and enjoy your meal or snacks and beverages. It is very clean, and beautiful! Also the service is definitely 10/10, they are all so nice and helpful. I got so excited to try the little individual kit-Kat minis that they have near the register. The chocolate and orange one was definitely a favorite, and surprisingly also the matcha. I'm so excited to come back and try Onigiri, drinks, ice cream and other items from the market, and also to try items from their menu. I have heard nothing but great things about them. Thank you to the Haru team for being here in our community and providing the excellent variety that you have. Much love! read more

I found Haru near my hotel when I wanted noodle soup. Fortunately, I got there before the dinner rush. The restaurant was a third full when I arrived, but shortly after I ordered, the place filled up and there was a wait for tables and take-out. I ordered the Haru Ramen, which had straight noodles, pork belly, soft boiled egg, wood ear mushrooms, fishcake, nori, and black garlic oil in a tonkatsu broth. I had it in level 1 spicy, which wasn't spicy, but had a a little kick to it. The broth was so flavorful. One of the fishcakes was cold so I dunked it in the broth. I wish I had gotten the wavy noodles instead, but the meal as a whole was delicious and satisfying for this cold windy night. Service was attentive, but since the restaurant was busy, it took a while for the ramen to come out. On the right side of the restaurant, they sell Asian snacks and ice cream. read more

Really excellent Ramen...the best we've found in the area overall. One word of caution: their spice levels are 1-5, and my order of 3 was quite spicy. Still, no complaints at all! read more

Haru is located in a business center near the airport and has plenty of public parking. The restaurant has rice bowls, ramen, udon and yakitori skewers in addition to a full bar. A small grocery section with a limited supply of Japanese items is located next to the entrance. I did a quick review and noted Japanese ice creams, Onigiri, cream rolls, cookies, chips, sodas, and alcohol for purchase. As for the dining, we had the Curry Katsudon, Kuro Ramen, Chicken Skin Skewer, Kalbi Skewer and Pork Belly Skewer. Really liked the Katsudon and Ramen and skewers were good except for the Pork Belly which was a little too dried out for our taste. Service is quick, interior is clean and bright, and food is affordable and good. Will go back for the Chicken Skin Skewer and Kuro Ramen for sure. read more

Craving for Japanese food, dropped by Haru tucked away on Longley Ln. My second visit to this restaurant. This restaurant is vibrant, and busy, and crowed, 20 minutes wait time. Worth the wait. In the corner of the restaurant is little store that's sell Japanese snacks of different variations. I got the Japanese chicken curry served with rice. It contains chicken, curry with vegetables. Good flavor, I wish it had little heat or spice. The portion was perfect. Just lacking spiciness. read more

A simple Ramen House that prioritizes the quality of their food over bougie frivolities. Starting with the appetizers, we ordered the Galbi (beef short ribs). Cooked to perfection, with a touch of char from the grill and pure deliciousness in terms of taste. Not feeling overly peckish, I ordered the Negima Yakitori (chicken thigh). Another perfect dish. The chicken was grilled perfectly with the chicken cooked but still tender and moist. I also had bacon wrapped scallops. The chef is a master griller, cooking the scallops to perfection. So delicious. On to the mains. My wife ordered the Gyudon. A traditional dish with thin sliced beef ribeye simmered in dashi and soy sauce with onions and green onions, served over rice. While attractive, my wife said the flavor was "meh". We also ordered the Pork Katsudon, breaded pork cutlet and eggs simmered in dashi and soy sauce with onions and green onions, served over rice. and our last dish was the Kuro Ramen (extra spicy!). Tonkotsu stock, shio tare and straight noodles. Topped with pork belly, a soft-boiled egg, beansprouts, woodear mushroom, fishcake, green onions, seaweed, and black garlic oil. Our friend's favorite, as he finished every drop. A nice Japanese diner that prioritizes quality over flash. I like it. read more

Haru - Vegetable tempera udon - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

A well oiled MACHINE. That's what the guys behind the counter making all the ramen are, as well as all the servers. They move around each other with grace and purpose, having systems that push the food out quickly, and accurately. I came in by myself at lunchtime on a Friday, and sat at the little bar in front of the griddle. On a snowy and cold day, this felt so nice. I've come in here a handful of times, but this was my first time dining in by myself, so I got to pay more attention to all the little details. Sitting at the bar, the service was SO fast! The handful of times I dined in at a table, the service was still relatively quick. I got recommended the kuro ramen by my server Ashley, and it was fantastic! Ramen that has black garlic in it without it being overpowering. I got a level 1 spice level and the flavors of the spice, broth, and smokiness of the pork belly was STRONG but so good! I received tons of feedback and assistance from a few different servers, and they were all so sweet. I really appreciate Ashley, she was very helpful and we got to talking and joking about how much better the ramen is at Haru than other competitors (cough cough... I'm looking at you Minato ). The only slight negative experience during this dine in was from another server Chase, who was closing me out and made a comment about getting me out of here to make room for the next lunch crowd. I saw him go to his lunch break shortly after, so I'm gonna chalk it up to being hangry. In terms of the space, there's tons of room here for different sized parties, and I appreciate the little counters - being able to eat at solo or with a small party. The decor is Japanese themed and beautifully done with the wall mural at the other end of the restaurant. Typically you get your check and pay at the counter where you walk in. There's loads of desserts and fun drinks in the freezers that subtly urge you to try more. And try more, I will. Until next time, Haru! read more

great place! ramen, katsu, and yakitori in one spot the yakitori were delicious my favorite was the chicken gizzards, tasty, and chewy the bacon scallops were great with the yellow dipping sauce the ribeye was ok, a little overcooked, but the meat was tender ramen were good, kuro ramen with the black garlic oil was different the tonkotsu shoyu was good, but wish it had a more depth flavor cool spot for yakitori and ramen read more

My ramen adventures continue... The ambiance is casual, clean and fairly spacious. I didn't partake, but it looks like they have a full bar. I appreciate their decorative Japanese lamps. First off, I love any place that gives you spice level options. In this case, one to five. I chose level four for my ramen. The server was friendly, and answered all of my ramen questions (there were lots of little ingredient differences in the various offerings, such as Shio Tare versus Shoyu tare, etc.). The soft boiled egg was cooked well, and the spice level was great. Overall, I really enjoyed it. I will likely be back. read more

Ok I was really hoping my first visit was a fluke as Haru is a very unique restaurant in Reno and they have such high reviews but this time was equally disappointing. Had the takoyakis again which were still amazing. We ordered the beef and rice bowl which was also enjoyable but the ramens were a big disappointment. The broth is served hot but all the toppings on it are not so my ramen was room temperature at best after a stir. Cold mushrooms, tofu, corn, spinach, etc. If toppings are going straight from fridge to bowl, run a kitchen torch over it, quick and simple solution. Service is sparse and not welcoming. read more

TL DR: Great food service was a little off that night super busy. I messed up and my camera did not eat first. I had a wonderful ramen though! Not pictured but it was a nice serving size, the broth had great umami flavor, and everything tasted fresh. Would try again. Appetizers: We got a standard set of gyoza and takoyaki. These were great for the eaters in our group who were younger and feeling less adventurous. The pricing is on par with other competitors. Service: 3.5/5 We did arrive during a time when they were busy. Our large group sat down and waited 15-20 minutes before we were given waters... we did have to flag them down. We had to wait another 10-15 minutes before our order was taken. Our waitstaff was pretty good and answered questions we had and was friendly. I don't blame them, but maybe from the managing side better flow/placement so that the ratio of tables to waitstaff is more evenly disbursed would yield shortened wait times. I would come back here for the food but maybe not during peak dinner hours. Elite tip: Gratuity is included for groups read more

Two years ago? This spot has become a regular and a rotation because of the exciting menu filled with Japanese specialty is not found any or any other places in town. We love coming in here and ordering a wide array of grilled skewers to amongst the table. Our favorites are definitely the chicken thigh, chicken, meatball, and most recently the pork belly but on our last visit, we also discovered the chicken wings, which are absolutely fantastic. The sauce that comes with the pork belly is delightfully addictive and so good on so many other things so definitely ask for a little extra. We also love, cruising the little Japanese snacks and dessert section of the shop. Things are fairly reasonably priced and it's really fun to make that part of your visit too. The last time we got these really fun, Mario themed chocolate bar puzzles, and also some giant pocky sticks covered in Chocolate and pop rocks. Oh yeah, and their Japanese curry with chicken or Katsu is really good. We definitely enjoy the Ramin too with the KURO being our favorite. I'm dying to order one of the Dunberry bowls, especially the chicken one and the pork Katsu with the omelette on another visit. Seriously horror as a Jim community read more

Been discovering more Japanese food lately, and Haru's menu selection is really outstanding for getting to try out things that might be a bit more uncommon. In the past, I have always gravitated to their ramen and izakaya, both of which are still here and still fantastic. (I love getting a skewer or two of pork belly to go with my meal.) But the last couple of times I stopped by, definitely felt the need to branch out. Firstly, the Katsu Curry rice bowl is amazing! Very flavorful, very filling. And on a subsequent visit, I got to go for their cold Soba noodles platter, which was very interesting, and came with a big bunch of amazing tempura vegetables. The menu seems to constantly surprise me, and the prices seem pretty decent, too. The vibe here is very chill, fun, and casual, and service was always friendly, though can get a bit backed up around busy lunch times. And while you're here, don't miss the chance to browse through their little section of Japanese snacks and desserts. Especially some of their Onigiri! All in all, this is definitely one of my favorite spots in town to grab a bite, perfect to try something new. read more

It's gotten better over time. The idea is fantastic: there aren't a lot of ramen places, and this place has a ton of other items that probably give me the closest feeling to a Japanese restaurant in Reno. When it first opened, I didn't think this place was great, but other people liked it and I liked the concept. Over time, it's gotten quite a bit better. I still find the broth a little too monotone, but it has other punchy flavors and its other menu items as sides have gone from mediocre to pretty good. read more

A good friend has frequently suggested dining here and as fortune had it we met them there for a late lunch. We were greeted the minute we walked in- a comfortably casual atmosphere. It's apparent that the staff enjoy their work and are willing to help anyone understand the nuance of their menu. Though our friend is well versed in the culture itself and selections on the menu, our server volunteered ideas without pushing any in particular. Very interesting too was the range of different dishes and how they complement each other. The combination of each dish to make it unique was fascinating and every one was good eats, and though I can't remember the name of each I'll recognize it when we go back-that's a given. Specializing in Japanese ramen dishes is a unique challenge especially in Reno, and the folks at Haru have met that challenge with excellence. read more

Soo good!! Ordered the Chicken Curry Katsudon and Miso Ramen. We loved everything. Our friends got two other types of ramen and a chicken katsu sandwich. Everything was so good!! Very tasty. I recommend this place if you like ramen or curry. The revive was great. Very friendly staff. We ordered some drinks after our meal and loved them all.

Perfect place for ramen and "small bites" Large restaurant space with open kitchen layout. Loved the wall mural! Service was quick. Everyone worked as a team and food came out piping out. Ordered takoyaki and karaage to start. Karaage pieces were quite large for an appetizer and came with a spicy mayo which was yum! Negima (chicken thighs) were tender and juicy. Ordered Tori Paitan spice 5/5. Wasn't that spicy and those heat chasers could definitely do more heat. Kuro Ramen has that black garlic oil taste which i feel the Tori Paitan needs (but that's a personal preference). read more

According to Yelp this is the most recommended Japanese restaurant in Reno. I'm glad I followed Yelp's advice! This place was easy to find and had plenty of parking. We arrived a little before 6 pm and the place was busy. But we got a table without a wait. The service was fast and friendly. It's a fairly large restaurant, casual and bright. They sell Japanese drinks, ice cream, desserts in refrigerators near the front that you can help yourself to. They have a full bar and a large variety of Japanese beers and liquor. Their menu consists mostly of rice bowls and ramen. No sushi. We ordered the Oyako Donburi, Tempura Udon, and Miso Ramen. Good authentic Japanese food! It sure hit the spot on a cold winter night. This place is now added to our Maps Reno Guide for future visits. read more

Great service and nice size serving. Really good ramen and I would highly recommend. You can choose spicy 1-5, but the smart move is to get it on the side to add a little at a time until it's just right for you. read more

We Love the food here however they really need to staff up and give better service. This is the third time we've come and waited in front for over 30 minutes while the sit down restaurant is only half full with one server.

I'd suggest turning off door dash orders if you can't even seat your customers who are waiting. read more

Getting to try ramen in Reno when you're from NorCal can be a big risk, but we swung and Haru definitely delivered. I tried their Vegan Miso Ramen ($15) which uses a soy milk and mushrooms based broth, topped with veggies and tofu which makes it a complete meal. The broth was well flavored and my bowl was savory but not too salty. Noodles were great and I loved the amount of veggies we got on top. I got mine at level 4 spicy and wish I had gone a bit higher. Overall, a very solid vegan ramen option and am happy they offer one in this small town. Servers were super nice and attentive during our meal and I liked the anime influences with the decor around the restaurant. Lots of open seats for small groups and a bar for solo diners. Parking is plenty right outside in their lot. read more
