What a great place to have Japanese food. Not only is the service and food good but the place had a quirky tongue in cheek Japanese ambiance that's just fun. We tried the Uni-salmon donburi (rice bowl) which came as pretty as it is delicious. Then we had some crispy fried oyster in sweet teriyaki sauce, surprisingly good, we also had the mixed tempura and cold sake to pair. The desert was from next door restaurant Cafe Juanita sticky toffee pudding and pistachio sansrival, a perfect end with a strong cup of coffee. read more

Haru is one of the restaurants among many many others in Kapitolyo. The ambiance and vibe is very much like that of Cafe Juanita, with the exception of being Japanese themed. Among the things we ordered the Spider Design Maki, Harajuku Roll, and the Tako Karaage were my favorites. The Spider Deisgn Maki had soft-shelled crab with mango. For me, these always seem to go well together. The crab gives it that seafood crispy twist while the mango keeps the maki light. I liked it also with the spicy mayo. Haru did accommodate our request to serve the spicy mayo on the side. The Tako Karaage was something new for me. The octopus was lightly battered then fried. It was good on its own or with the dipping sauce. The light batter allowed the flavor of the octopus to come out rather than masking it. I ordered the Harajuku Roll based on the posters they had around the restaurant. The sign said Japonesa. We weren't really sure what that meant but the picture looked good. Apparently, Japonesa is their new line of makis. Sadly, they didn't have a list or a menu for this new line. We went with what was on the picture. It definitely didn't disappoint! It had eel, fish roe, crabstick, mango, and salad, which all gave a mouthful of delciousness. I'd go back for that Harajuku Roll! read more

I looove Japanese food! But, it is difficult to get my fix when most of my my fave Japanese restaurants are in Makati. That is why I so happy that there is Haru! Haru is cozy & I love that I don't have to rush myself to eat my meal here. My #1 favorite dish is their Uni Donburi. Look at the picture; ALL that Uni for only Php270 (6USD)! They also have a wide selection of sushi, sashimi & platters. Great for a chill night our with friends or just by yourself :) read more

When it comes to quality Japanese food in the Kapitolyo area, Haru should be the go-to restaurant for everyone. Situated beside Cafe Juanita (they are both owned by the same people), Haru is a charming converted house that has been decorated extensively with traditional and kitschy decor from Japan. From the selection of manga (Japanese comics), old toys, kimono mannequins and decorative tea sets, the passion behind Haru is immediately evident. Aside from the decor, the passion behind serving quality Japanese food at Haru shines through in the food, as it should. Known for their exceptional quality sushi and sashimi, Haru has always gone above and beyond. Their salmon sashimi is always a good standby, but their Dynamite Rolls are worth a mention. The large serving portions of each maki make it difficult to consume in one bite (as Japanese sushi-eating customs adhere to), but that makes it better for us to savor the flavor of the spicy tuna, salmon, slivers of cucumber, all coated in sushi rice and a sprinkling of tobikko (roe). Haru also gets special mentions in my book due to the fact that they serve natto, fermented soybeans that can best be described as an acquired taste for many. Due to its taste, it's not often served at most Japanese restaurants, but it's served here! Haru also shares a dessert menu with Cafe Juanita, since they are owned by the same people. I recommend their Creme Brulee, which is presented in a tiny little ceramic pan that resembles a bread pan. 5 stars for Haru! read more

Dear Haru, I was so delighted to discover a wonderful gem in you after suffering from the horror called Friday Night Ortigas traffic. I arrived at your place like the Incredible Hulk. "Hangry" and with no time to thoroughly think which dish to order, I got the bento box. Oh boy oh boy when my order came I realized it was a bento box good for two! My order was so delicious that I instantly forgot about the two hours I wasted in traffic. That bento can surely convert a raging Hulk to a calm, peace-loving Bruce Banner. I know it's a hyperbole, but my description perfectly described my experience at that time. So thank you Haru for saving me and my loved ones that fateful day. Your servers were kind and your food delicious. Your price may be a tad expensive than the usual Japanese restos in the city but I never felt robbed because your dishes are always well-made and can serve even a party of two. Since I thoroughly enjoyed your food, I brought my boyfriend to your place several times and recommended it to my friends who frequent the Kapitolyo area. A friend even brought her matatakaw sisters to your place upon my recommendation. According to her, they over ordered but were extremely satisfied. :) Thank you for the many times you improved my mood through your sushis, sashimis, and bento boxes. I'll visit you again soon! Sincerely, Your Suki read more

Honestly, Haru wouldn't be out of place in Makati's Little Tokyo. From the old Japanese house interiors and random Japanese decor scattered around the place (yes those are kimono mannequins) to the extensive menu written in both Japanese & English, this place screams authentic! I feel like it's on the same plane as the likes of Sugi and Kimpura, but much cheaper. The sushi & maki, as you would expect, are very fresh and served in a wide number of variations. So are the sashimi! You see combinations you don't see anywhere else. The spicy tuna sashimi salad though is a lot like the one in Izakaya Kikufuji and quite as good! Also, given that their sushi and sashimi are excellent, you can fall in love with their top notch chirashidon bowls that don't all come as a mix of toppings-- you can get only salmon, tuna, or sea urchin toppings too. All are served with soup on the side. Other classic Japanese dishes like the yaki or grilled dishes, teppans, and tempuras are all there as well. As are your Japanese soba, udon, and ramen dishes. The meat teppans and the "Kari Kari Kari Yaki" oyster dish are standouts! It's pretty much a complete Japanese menu here at Haru-- a good spot for a full Japanese cuisine crash course, trying everything out at once, and then leaving plenty satisfied. read more

Haru Sushi Bar and Restaurant - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasig, NCR

Haru's décor and food are almost equal in greatness. When I first entered Haru I was in awe with their uniquely Japanese interior design and their colorful and festive displays were inviting and beautiful. But their food was even better. Haru serves authentic Japanese dishes and sushi. Everything about the food in Haru is great. Each type of sushi is made to order and you can really tell by its taste that it's made with the freshest ingredients possible which is essential for any Japanese restaurant to be considered as a good one. Haru also serves classics like tepan, tempura, teriyaki, and the like in both to share options or if you're dining solo you can try their rice bowls. Haru has definitely become the go-to Japanese restaurant for me and my family. And in recent months it has become incredibly popular (for good reason) so it's best to reserve a table in advance read more

Japanese Food is one of my faves so I get very picky where to eat some when I'm craving. One awesome discovery during a family and family friends dinner was Haru just 10mins away from my place. This place serves delicious and fresh Japanese food. I usually don't eat Tempura and Gyoza that much but this place got me hooked. All of the stuff in their menu is pretty good and affordable. Parking can be quite a challenge though since it gets packed easily but parking attendants are available to guide you to a slot. read more

My meetings take me everywhere and one night, it took me to Haru. To start, my client got a selection of sushi, sashimi and maki, which we all got a few pieces each. I was impressed by the freshness of the fish and the overall quality of each piece. Even just by looking at it, one could already tell that they use topnotch quality ingredients and that the sushi maker takes pride in his craft. Next, we shared an order of sukiyaki, which I also found delicious. The beef was really good and soft, just a good amount of vegetables and noodles. The broth was also tasty without being too salty or strong. Lastly, because I knew they had ordered so many items already, I just had their zaru soba - cold Japanese noodles with dipping sauce. What impressed me most was that they really do it as proper Japanese restaurants do - with the noodles really cold (and not just place on top of ice), then serve it with the dipping sauce that has raw quail egg, which other restaurants don't have. read more

Haru Sushi Bar and Restaurant - Look at that generous amount of roe! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasig, NCR

Haru is a really eye catching Japanese restaurant located in Kapitolyo. It's very easy to spot and decorated very fondly. Others might think that it's too cluttered in terms of design but I quite like it. It's just really cool to see a bunch of different ornaments, trinkets, and toys that are Japanese inspired. The staff were also wearing Japanese inspired uniforms. I think they may even be copies of what other Japanese people used to wear. It's a really cool experience just being there. I found their California Maki, Tempura, and Miso Soup really good the first time I ate there so i kept ordering them in each visit alongside something new from the menu. You can call it my staple set meal! For a reasonable price, they serve good Japanese dishes. I also like the service because they're all very fast and efficient. Often, I get my orders in about 10 minutes. The waiters and waitresses are also very attentive to the customers' needs. They attend to you as soon as they see you. They are also very knowledgeable with the menu which I think is very important. Overall, it's a good place to eat some Japanese food. read more

Haru Sushi Bar and Restaurant - Tendon Donburi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Pasig, NCR

Haru is my favorite Japanese restaurant in Kapitolyo. It's the brainchild of the geniuses behind the famed Café Juanita and thus, it comes as no surprise that it's equally excellent in every which way. If you're craving for fresh sashimi or on the lookout for a place that can bring you perfectly crafted sushi, this is it. On my end, sashimi is more of a starter, I'm a total rice person so my go-to order here is either the unaju or the tendon. The interiors of Haru are GORGEOUS. It's classy as hell and my friends and I love to come here and let loose for a bit over good grub. read more

What really stood out for me in Haru is the fact that it had the cheapest offering of Tempura that I've ever had that also tasted good. A lot of times cheap tempura equals to soggy batter and overcooked shrimp. In Haru, it was still crispy batter and well-cooked shrimp. For only P250, you already get five pieces of tempura! That is such a steal. And i'm raving about their tempura because I feel very neutral about the rest of their dishes I was able to taste. The spicy salmon maki left me underwhelmed. It was tiny and there was too much mayo in the spicy mayo for my taste. I was excited for that maki too. The beef teppan was another solid okay for me, not really standing out in my palette, but I do remember it being quite good. The Chicken Karaage skin was crunchy but the type of crunchy that can get tough at times. The chicken meat was tender though! So, again, a perfectly respectable Japanese restaurant with the pinakasulit tempura offerings. read more
