Best ramen in Reno IMO, always consistent. I recommend the karaage or bacon wrapped scallops to go along with your ramen. The service is great and the ambiance is nice. I also love all their exported snacks! read more

Their Tako Yaki is to die for! The spot is really nice and I come here weekly now. Having lived in japan for many years, I can say that this place makes pretty accurate tasting food. I bring all my friends here. The feel of the store is cozy and 10/10 would recommend. read more

I love the ramen here, I used to go to Ramen 4 Real but I crave this place a lot more now, it's my go to spot. Their appetizers are also very good. The Tonkatsu shoyu ramen is by far my favorite. Also, their strawberry milk and black tea drinks, 10/10 would recommend. Great customer service as well. You can't come in a party greater than 4 is the only down fall, but understandable because of COVID. read more

Haru - Birthday dinner with the most amazing people. Couldn't have asked for it to be better. - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

We ordered four different noddles, fried beef and some other stuff. Good food, great soup. Menu is short and a little pricy.

Excellent ramen! Very flavorful broth! Compares well to irvine California which has many ramen restaurants. Clean and nice casual atmosphere! Definitely one of my favorites! read more

First visit to Haru. The food was delicious. The barbecued unagi rice bowl was delicious and full of flavor. I love unagi so it was a great discovery to have it as a rice bowl instead of just the usual sushi-sized portion at sushi places. The unagi and the rice combination was great! The unagi sauce was also a highlight of the dish. Tip to consider for the chefs...add a sprinkle of sliced fresh green onions (which you already have for the miso soup) on top of the rice bowl, to elevate its plating and appearance. That simple touch would make a difference in flavor too! The side of miso soup tasted fresh and a perfect compliment to go with the rice bowl. My hubby had the vegetarian ramen bowl. That was also delicious and thankfully loaded with veggies. The broth was one of the most flavorful veggie broths compared to what we've had elsewhere. The restaurant is decorated in a simple style. The higher prices aren't synchronous with the plain decor. Reminded us of a mall food court vibe. We also wondered why there was a wall screen in the middle to cut the space in half. Made us want to peek to see "what's on the other side?" There's so much potential for the appearance of the dining room. We'll come again for the great tasting food though and we'll want to try other menu items. read more

I'm a ramen snob--just browse my reviews if you don't believe me. I fell in love with this dish when I lived in Japan. So I believe that I have some standing here. This is the best ramen in Reno. No other place in town comes close. If you truly love ramen, like I do, don't bother going anywhere else. read more

Slow service. Kitchen staff incompetent. Dont order to go unless you want to wait forever.

I love the Ramen here. I've taken friends here several times and everyone has been impressed with the menu, customer service and the food. I'll be back to eat there again very soon. read more

Wow what a unique restaurant with amazing food and a wonderful menu. The lace was busy, but with additional counter space, there is plenty of room for guests. Must try read more

Haru is my favorite ramen place here in Reno! Coming from Las Vegas, I've always been disappointed with Reno's variety of ramen but Haru comes pretty close to what I've been looking for. Whenever I come, I usually order the tonkatsu shoyu. I've read that some people think that the broth is a little underwhelming, but whenever I order, I ask for some spice to be put in. They also have spicy seasoning and chili oil on all of their tables. I think that adding spice adds another level of flavor. They cook the egg really well at Haru and they also have the best chashu out of the other ramen places in Reno. Every time I come, I also order the bacon asparagus yakitori which is delicious. I've tried the karaage and bacon scallop yakitori as well and they're all tasty. Last but not least, the dessert Haru's Mess is one of my favorite desserts and a nice way to end your meal. The staff here is always super welcoming and friendly. They check up on my table frequently and are always smiling. read more

I looooove this place and my only regret is not coming sooner! I've been meaning to go here and just never did. But I decided to take my mom here last week as I know she loves Japanese food but can't do ayce sushi so I thought this would be the perfect spot. She got the tonkatsu ramen and I got the cold soba noodles. I didn't get to try hers but she said it was good and I believe her! Mine was yummy as well, especially on a hot day! Today I decided to take my cousin and bf and we all finished our ramen bowls! My personal favorite was the one my bf got which was the Karu Ramen which included pork belly and black garlic oil mmmmmmm. The service was wonderful and food came out quickly. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. I want to go back again and this time to try the rice bowls and maybe some yakitori! I am so glad this little gem is in Reno! read more

First of all, food was DELICIOUS! Only thing I was a bit upset about was the portion size. I ordered online, and the pictures of the yakitori looked much larger than we received, with the exception of the chicken heart skewers. Those were not cut up. The gizzards and chicken skin skewers were EXTREMELY small though. Again...the flavor was amazing. We also got the chicken thighs and karaage. Again though, it advertised 4 pieces of chicken...more like 4 morsels. Still delicious though. I will definitely be back, thus the 4 star rating (for flavor), but please update your online advertising read more

Best ramen in Reno. I've had ramen in Japan and I can vouch that this place has the most authentic ramen in Reno

Best ramen in Reno/Tahoe. Now, I'm not giving it 5 stars because it's not the best ramen I've had. But it IS the best ramen in Reno. The broth is flavorful, the noodles have great texture, and their toppings are plentiful and cooked really nicely (egg and pork belly are cooked perfectly). Sometimes the ramen isn't piping hot, but I'm hoping that once they're fully settled they can fix this inconsistency. I'm still giving them high marks because again, it's the best ramen in Reno. It would also be nice if they dimmed the lights a little. It's just so bright in there, it feels like I'm eating in a hospital cafeteria. read more

Very good ramen. I got the tonkotsu ramen and it is pretty delicious with eggs and pork belly

Im a big fan of ramen so I'm super happy I tried this place. The meals came out super fast and I was impressed at the flavor of the soup. We also ordered scallops wrapped in bacon. They were super good but i wish they were pan fried instead of baked. The employees were friendly and the atmosphere is very clean. I will be coming back! read more

Finally tried this place out. The food was good, unfortunately it wasn't enough to fill me up. The portion size to me seem a little bit small. I brought the family with me so we can enjoy the food. My oldest son enjoys eating takoyaki. They do charge extra for there yum yum sauce which we didn't get. Overall it was good. Just wish the portion was a bit more. read more

Delicious food! Every time I come in I am never disappointed with my order from Haru.

My first impression from seeing the food come out had my expectations set pretty high. The presentation of the food is very well put together, which I really enjoyed. I really liked the texture of their ramen, it's soft and chewy which I feel like all ramen should be like, I also really enjoyed that their egg was actually soft boiled and the yolk was still a little runny. The perfect egg for your ramen. The pork belly could've been cooked a little more, I didn't like how it was still kind of chewy. Their broth is very bland, which was the biggest downfall to the whole meal. It was spicy but I feel like it was still too watered down. Their Yakitori was pretty good on the other hand! I really enjoyed their bacon asparagus and their chicken wing yakitori read more

Haru - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

BEST RAMEN SHOP IN RENO/TAHOE Having traveled to Japan many times, I know authentic ramen when I taste it, which Haru undoubtedly delivered. The two of us order the Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken), the Kuro ramen bowl, the Level 3 Spicy Miso ramen bowl, and the "Haru's Mess" for dessert, all of which were absolutely amazing and we would recommend to anybody! They just opened not long ago. Definitely hope they can stay in business long term. No more driving 4 hours to the Bay whenever I have cravings for authentic Japanese ramen!! :) read more

Haru - Kuro Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen & Karaage (Japanese Fried Chicken) - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

All I'd heard about Haru--Reno's brand-new Japanese bistro--was a promise of "real" ramen. They're still in their soft-open phase, but I couldn't wait. My group was pleasantly surprised by the inclusion of grilled delights and tasty rice bowls. We started with yakitori, skewers and small plates of grilled meats ($5 each). They were each served with paired sauces, and takuan--a crisp, sweet and sour daikon pickle said to be invented by a famed 17th century, zen warrior monk. First, crispy bone-in chicken wing flats, seared and creamy chicken livers, and bunched-up chicken skin that was fatty, a little gelatinous, and reminiscent of pork cracklins. So far, so good. Huge bacon-wrapped sea scallops were great, though I found the bacon a distraction to my favorite bivalve mollusk. Cubes of beef ribeye with a spicy chimichurri were medium rare and incredibly tender; the stuff meaty dreams are made of. Thin pieces of karaage (Japanese fried chicken) were surprisingly moist, served with plain kewpie (extra rich mayo) and a super fiery version. Korean galbi (beef short rib) was tender and succulent. A skewer of bacon-wrapped cherry tomatoes was great ($4), but I advise waiting a bit to allow the boiling hot centers to cool off before popping 'em in. All ramen bowls include roasted pork belly, bean sprout, scallion, fish cake, nori, and ajitama; you can punch it up with provided seasonings. We ordered all varieties offered, including two with chicken/pork stock and enoki mushroom (Corn with miso tare, Haru with shoyu tare, $12 each), and two with pork stock and wood ear mushroom (Kuro with shio tare and black garlic oil, Tonkotsu with shoyu tare, $13 each). Each broth had subtle differences owed to their tare flavor enhancers; all were rich and satisfying. The pork belly was tender, the veggies fine, and the noodles were definitely fresh and perfectly cooked. The nori (dried seaweed) is decoratively served on the side of the bowl. Some eat it crispy, but I let it soak in and add a hint of ocean spray. Ajitama (marinated soft boiled egg) is something I treasure, and I'm always disappointed when a plain, hard boiled egg is substituted. The creaminess and blend of flavors in good ajitama is transcendent, and Karu has it dialed in. I almost had a tear in my eye when a friend with an egg allergy offered me hers. Of the four donburi (rice bowls), we tried katsudon ($12) with breaded pork cutlet in dashi (kelp and fish stock), shoyu (soy sauce), stir-fried onion, scallion, and egg; and unadon ($12), two large, skin-on filets of unagi (freshwater eel) grilled with a thick, hickory flavored sauce of shoyu, syrup, ground eel eggs, and mirin (sweet rice wine). The eel was melt-in-your-mouth amazing. The golden brown pork was moist-yet-crispy, the onion-egg mix a nice complement. Both came with piping hot miso soup and choice of sides; we sampled kimchi and pickled shiitake. The fermented cabbage was crisp and more savory than spicy. The 'shrooms were bliss in a bowl, with a similar pickling flavor as the takuan, leveled-up by the meaty, heady fungi. Being so new, there were a few service missteps. Hot tea served tepid, quickly replaced very hot. Eggs ordered on the side that were in the bowl. One rice bowl forgotten, quickly delivered once mentioned. They plan to add more options including vegetarian, and I imagine I'll be back many, many times. read more

I came to this location because GLB said that it had vegetarian and vegan options. However... They don't have any vegetarian or vegan options. Maybe in November they said. They only have Chicken beef and pork stock. They don't have anything vegetarian or vegan on the menu at all. I will definitely be going to check it out when they do have those options available... And will revise my review at that time. read more

This place is amazing! I found my new spot for Japanese ramen. Not perfectly authentic but just as good. I've also tried the rice bowls which were absolutely delicious! The only thing that would make this place on top is if they had gyoza (pot stickers). I'm sure the crew is working on it since it's a fairly new restaurant. The owner and employees are awesome, kind, and helpful. I'd suggest this place to anyone looking for a good Ramen fix. read more

Haru - Restaurant - Ramen Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Ramen was great, prices are reasonable, and all of the yakitori we had was wonderful. The space itself is clean and simple, very Japanese. Very hopeful that donburi and okonomiyaki is eventually on the menu, although even if nothing changed, the current offerings are still top notch. A note here, more on the Yelp platform than the restaurant itself: people who leave 1 star reviews because a restaurant doesn't have vegan/vegetarian options are terrible and you're outright extorting a place to change their menu with the threat of bad reviews. Even if they do add vegetarian broth, this is akin to going to a Vietnamese restaurant and slamming them for their culture not catering to your dietary needs. Would it be reasonable for an omnivore to visit a vegan establishment and demand meat? Anyway, visit this place, keep them in business, and ignore the idiots who have never actually eaten good ramen before. read more

The newest Japanese restaurant to hit the Reno scene, I was fortunate enough to visit Haru during their 'sneak peak weekend'. The outside of Haru depicts a beautiful glass painting of cherry blossom trees on their front doors. The interior is spacious, with numerous tables, a bar area, and a bar for drinks off to the left. The decor is simple and minimalist. Their limited menu for the special weekend consisted of ramen, and numerous, skewered options, perfect for sharing between two people. Unlike the other ramen places in Reno, I really liked how Haru offers you not only the options of which flavor of ramen you'd like (between miso, tonkatsu, and shio), but two broth options as well (house broth, and tonkatsu broth). The ramen at Haru is my favorite ramen in Reno thus far! The combination of the house broth paired with shio was clean and rich in flavor. The ramen also came with pork belly, bean sprouts, enoki mushrooms, green onion, soft boiled egg, and naruto (fish cake). The noodles had a good chewiness to them, and I loved the smaller, square cut of the pork belly slices. I could tell that the pork belly slices had been grilled, and were of higher quality. I usually don't eat the soft boiled egg as I prefer harder boiled eggs, but upon trying it I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was seasoned with garlic and other well paired flavors. I hope that in the future the option is available to get additional toppings on the ramen. My boyfriend and I also shared many of Haru's skewers. We tried their galbi short ribs, bacon wrapped enoki, ribeye with chimichurri, chicken wings, and chicken skin skewers. The chicken skin tasted very similar to chicharron, while I unfortunately found the ribeye with chimichurri too spicy for my tastebuds. For the galbi, the server had asked how I liked the meat cooked, which I really appreciated. Overall, all of the food we had that night was super delicious. They were very short-staffed, so service was not the fastest, but the owner and other servers present were still very courteous. Sadly there was no dessert on their limited menu for the special weekend, but the owner assured that something was definitely in the works. The prices weren't bad either; definitely cheaper than the izakaya in Midtown if you just came for the yakitori/kushiaki, and about the same prices for the ramen as the other places in town, but for better quality. You could tell the owner put a lot of thought and dedication into the Japanese dishes he offers at Haru. I can't wait to go back! I'd definitely recommend trying Haru out! read more

Best ramen I've had In Reno! Thankyou. So excited. Food was Just wonderful! Flavorful and delicious vegan ramen! Such a fun beer selection. Service was great. Food came out in a timely manor. Can't wait to come back and bring friends! read more

My son loves Ramen, since he first started watching anime he thought it looked delicious and of course it is. We've been to every Ramen place in town that I'm aware of which isn't a ton but he loved Haru's. I opted for the short ribs and they were so flipping good!! The service was great and they have an open kitchen which I've always loved! read more

Went today to Haru's for a late lunch, it was to celebrate my daughter's 41st birthday. She wanted to try it out since she loves enoki mushrooms. We have been checking out different places every other Friday or so. The place is clean and bright and the food is fantastic. The Haru Shoyu ramen is very good very hearty. We had the bacon rolled enoki mushroom skewers, gyoza, chicken heart, skin and gizzards skewers. My husband had their Japanese chicken curry over rice....cleaned the bowl out. My daughter had the Unadon (unagi) and she gobbled that up. We will be going back there again. read more

The tonkotsu shoyu ramen was freakin delicious! Best ramen I've had in long time and best food I eaten while I was visiting reno. I'm still craving for this ramen after coming home and it's been over a month now. I've tried other ramen restaurants and similar ramen that are comparable but so far I've found none that is as good as Haru's ramen. Too bad reno is 5 hrs away from me. If I ever visit reno again I will definitely stop here again. read more

The second time we visited in "Haru" a couple days before Christmas and I expected a busy night so I called in early for reservation since the whole family are coming (10 of us) to my surprise it's moderate. Our server was very nice and accommodating, some of our family ordered yakitori - galbi, chicken meatballs, bacon wrap scallops, karaage. Then we had the ramen selection of course I had the Haru Shoyu Ramen - no spice , my significant other did the 'Tonkotsu Shoyu with 4 level spice. The others had 'Donburi - rice bowls'. It's good as expected, as for my libation, I choose 'moscato d asti' it's a perfect match for my meal. My shoyu ramen looks very appealing as shown on attached photo, the taste is good and the nutty texture of ramen is as expected. Once again, an awesome dinner to end the day. So glad we all decided to go here for dinner. read more

Well, I am the third reviewer and the third reviewer to give them 5 stars! My husband will have some pictures to add to this as he is so excited to have a new Ramen place to go to. He is very opinionated in regards to ramen and this place met the seal of approval. The restaurant is open "softly" as they do not have all the elements in place that the future will hold for it yet. They have the basics though to have an enjoyable meal so come on in. They are on the SE corner of McCarran and Longley way into the parking lot so please look a find! My spouse had the Ramen. It was rich broth, perfect boiled egg, tonkotsu style with Shoyu, with a variety of the typical offerings inside the tasty broth. My son and I enjoyed the yakitori and sampled asparagus wrapped bacon, scallops with bacon, fried chicken, skewered chicken balls. All was excellent and flavorful. More is to come as they roll out more options and elements. We are excited and we are waiting! Welcome Haru! My tummy loves you and I can't wait to try more and add another review. read more

We drove from downtown Reno to Haru to get some authentic Japanese food. We were not disappointed. The 4 dishes are good beyond my expectation. Unagi is so yummy so I can say it is among a few best in the USA. Tonkastu don is also good for a general Japanese restaurant. read more

Reno welcomes a new Ramen place! We have far too few of them now and some we have had have failed and disappeared. I have high hopes for Haru. The space is big and ready for dinner crowds. The lunch time atmosphere was a reasonable murmur if diners and enjoyable music. The staff and owner were friendly and attentive to my needs. I had the Miso Ramen. While I agree with some fellow Yelpers that the broth could use a little more miso kick and the noodles could be better (handmade instead of packaged...), this was a good bowl. Overall it was a good bowl of ramen. It wasn't too oily. The corn and enoki gave some nice texture. The pork belly in particular was very flavorful. The presentation is great as you see in photos. I will be back to try a few more items! Also, I ran into Mike T, our local Yelp Guy! He was giving it a try and doing some networking. read more

I ordered takeout from Haru after craving some Takoyaki, and it didn't disappoint. I also had unagi over rice which was delicious. The one thing I was disappointed in was that the portions could be larger for the entrees, as it was $17 for two strips of unagi over rice. So glad to have found a good Japanese restaurant in Reno. read more

Amazing ramen, very rich flavors. Out of all of the ramen places in Reno this is the closest To the authentic ramen I had in japan. However it's still their soft opening so service was slow, and there's only a few items to choose from. No alcohol yet or desert, or sushi. Didn't realize that when we stopped in. I'll still come back - they got a solid start with great flavors. Good atmosphere and friendly staff. read more

This place just opened up and I'm in love. I've been dying for a good ramen (spoiled by SF) and this place definitely satisfies me. Do be aware that as of writing this review they are in a soft opening phase. The eggs are actually soft boiled and marinated really well. The noodles were a good texture and tasty. And for the broth I've had the Haru shoyu twice which is my favorite at the moment. I also tried the Tonkatsu and enjoyed that too. There is a nice mixture of toppings, some of which I hadn't seen on other ramen before which was a nice mix up. We also tried a bunch of the yakitori and they were very tasty. I really like the shishito peppers. In the end this is a bowl of ramen I'm going to want pretty often and I'm happy Reno finally has a choice that does everything correctly. read more

The ramen is good but the meat slices in the ramen are getting smaller and thinner and increase the price from $14 to $17. I do not mind paying this price but the portions are getting smaller. Very disappointed! read more
