    New Japanese restaurant located in Middleton. This area was very busy on a Tuesday at 1:00 pm. No parking available on street so parked behind the restaurant in parking lot. Graciously welcomed upon entering and promptly seated. The decor is pleasing to the eye and beautiful. Haru has an ample lunch menu with lots of choices. Our server was pleasant, prompt and efficient. This made our first dining experience at Haru enjoyable. The food was outstanding! Beautifully plated with hot foods hot and cold foods cold. The four of us tried the sashimi, sushi, tempura and hibachi chicken. Miso soup and salad included. Delicious, will definitely return! Only one caveat, noise level was high. Not the place to enjoy quiet conversation.

    Haru Sushi and Hibachi. Beautiful new restaurant in Middleton. Friendly staff and yummy sushi! The decor sets the mood and the sushi chefs keep it entertaining. Definite must in The Villages/Middleton. Sit at the bar, Amy and Justice are great friendly staff that'll take care of you.

    I was surprised to find Korean food at all in Ocala. I was thrilled to come across Haeorum. A…read morefriend and I went together for lunch on a Wednesday. It's in a really nondescript location, tucked away in an old gas station store. The store was a combination of hot food and some pantry staples like gochugaru and ramen. I ordered the Hot Bob, which was the spicy pork shoulder over rice. It was so delicious. We shared a kimchi pancake - it was a really sizable pancake but I wish it had a bit more flavor. Overall really happy with this place. I'm definitely coming back soon.

This is located inside a gas station, so when you enter it looks like a regular convenience/gas station, but then you see the menu with all the dishes they offer. They had so many delicious items on the menu, but I only went with the Japchae. I didn't wait long, it took about 15 minutes and while I was there, I got to look around and noticed all the Korean products around the store. Once I got my food, I sat at the tables they have in a corner and got quite a bit of food. It's a good serving. After trying the Japchae, I understand now why this spot is so highly rated. The Japchae was well seasoned came with a lot of delicious veggies and a side of rice. If this spot was close by I would eat there on a weekly basis! Really great spot to check out when in Ocala.

    Such a unique sushi experience! When we first arrived, there happened to be two seats open, but…read morethere wasn't technically an opening for a reservation. After speaking with the owner, he explained that he didn't want us to feel rushed, so he was able to accommodate us at a later seating that day. I really appreciated that! I would definitely recommend making a reservation ahead of time, though, because there are only eight seats available at the counter. The market itself is in such a cute area and has so much to check out, including teas, popcorn, a brewery, and more. Once we sat down at the sushi counter, the atmosphere almost made you feel like you had been transported to Japan. I ordered the five-piece sashimi, and the fish was incredibly fresh and delicate. Each piece was paired with different sauces and flavors that made every bite unique. It was unlike any sashimi I've had before, and you could really tell how much thought and care went into each piece. Between the atmosphere, the hospitality, and the quality of the fish, this was such a memorable experience. I would absolutely come back--just with a reservation next time!

I dont know that i have ever felt that way at all restaurant. We sat in front of Daniel who was very focused on the couple next to us,who are apparently regulars. I believe its great to recognize your regulars and pay extra attention to them. but there are other patrons in your restaurant, Find a way to focus on them and bring them in. There was an another couple who sat next to us that were almost never acknowledged. We weren't greeted when arrived by Daniel. He was very engaged to the couple next to us. Unfortunately, it didn't get any better after that. At the very end of our dinner after we paid, Daniel gave us additional food. Thank you, but no thank you. I am saddened because i love the restaurant and their food. it's a very different experience when Austin is not here....

We had to place our order by the counter before sitting down in a booth with a number placed on our table. We both ordered the Hibachi Steak lunch special ($12.95) which came with salad, fried rice, grilled veggies and cubes of steak cooked medium. Service was a bit brusque but we didn't go there to make friends...so whatever. The salad was served in a clamshell and not a plate but it tasted fresh and the ginger dressing was good. The hibachi steak plate had good portions with this mound of fried rice. The steak was tender and flavorful, we didn't need the dipping sauce provided, but the grilled veggies weren't consistently hot. The fried rice was decent but wasn't hot either. All in all, we thought the flavors were good but could be better prepared by being consistently hot. The value was there even if the service was a bit detached. We both think we still prefer Akita to satisfy our desires for Japanese cuisine. Lunch for 2 with tip came up to just over $30.

Everything was very nicely decorated and there was more than enough seating. Even with so much seating, there were people waiting in the lobby as well! The staff got my order and I was out the front door very quickly. I decided ot get some Yellowtail Crudo and Hokkaido. The Hokkaido which was seared scallops, lobster, crab, tobiko and a couple other things was insane in the best way. The seafood was soooo fresh and the flavors blended perfectly. The yellowtail melted in my mouth and I was trying so hard not to inhale it because the portion was nice but I do wish it was bigger for the price. Overall a phenominal place that I will make it a mission to visit again when I am in Orlando!
