We celebrated my mother's birthday, I asked what she wanted and she said Sushi and Japanese food. I remembered that someone recommending Haruka while I somewhere nearby and decided to head there. Located in a small plaza, Haruka is a neighborhood favorite, and I can see why. The interior has a modern aesthetic and even on a Wednesday evening, it was packed with a wait. We didn't have to wait too long, but as we ate and had dinner I noticed that it was full consistently. We sat down and they have have a wide array of items on their menu. We went with 3 dinner specials which have a small options (one has tempura, another with a California Roll. and one with Both) safe to we ordered one of each. For Apps we got some Edamame and Kaarage. For Rolls, we went with Rainbow Roll and Catapillar Roll. Starting with apps, the edamame to me was good a touch less salt which was great for my father. The karaage was flavorful with that sesame taste and juicy interiror. To me it was rather small compared to what I am used to, but flavor wise on par. The Rainbow roll is a staple anywhere I go for the first time as that gives me the array of fish with a California roll. The fish was fresh tasting and to me was fine. My slight disappointment was with the Caterpillar Roll, my parents just returned from Japan and the first thing they compared the roll to was what they experienced over there. Not a fair comparison, but none the less I am posting it here as refence as I see the same in surrounding restuarants here. The dinner special comes with Miso Soup, Salad, Protein of choice, and a choice of side (tempura, California Roll, or both). We each got one of the combinations. The Chicken Teriyaki was juicy and good compared to what I normally get from similar restaurants. Overall, a good choice if your simply looking for something balanced. What won me over, was the service. The place was packed and the staff and manager were out there doing what they can, but I didn't hear a single complaint around the restaurant. Not about the wait times, nor the food, and that matters. A small interaction that I happened to pick up, was one of the staff helping an elderly gentleman put on his coat. A small gesture but to me means the world. If they can take a second to do that for him, they really care about your experience. As a local favorite, I can highly recommend this place not just that the food is good, but because service tipped my scale. Mind the place was packed and smiles all around from everyone. I will be back if I am around, I am so glad I was able to finally check this one off my list! read more

I love bringing my daughters to this place. They love the Miso Soup, Udon Noodles and avocado rolls. The service there is always impeccable. Everyone is attentive to all tables which feels like Michelin service and the food is always wonderful. Some of my most favorite items to order are the Spicy Tuna on Crispy Rice, Calamari and the Garlic Albacore Roll! Add a bottle of Sake to drink and it's absolutely perfect family meal. I love that when I visit day or night they have a darker lit dining hall. It keeps the ambiance consistently the same all day. read more

For a family gathering, we decided to try this place. I checked Yelp and saw a lot of good reviews. Thank goodness we reserved our spots; this place was fully booked and there was a waiting line. As soon as we got there, our table was ready. We got the menu and started to order. This place doesn't have an all-you-can-eat option, so we ordered some appetizers, main dishes, and hot sake. It was a little bit pricey, but it was delicious and tasty. The noise level was average, and it was a nice place. Good for group gatherings and maybe good for date nights, but not a romantic place. read more

My family and I really enjoyed trying this new sushi restaurant in La Canada. The venue has ample parking and easily accessible. The establishment is bright and airy. We came on Sat evening and there was a full house. The wait (approx. 20 min) wasn't too bad. We shared mixed tempura, chicken kara age, Hamachi and eel and spicy tuna on crispy rice. Everything was fresh, served nicely and tasty. Sushi portions were good size with minimal rice. read more

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. Food is always consistent. Great variety of sushi. Also great noodle dishes..

The food was delicious and the restaurant was super clean and fancy, even better was the service the first older waitress explained the whole menu and the second waitress was younger and charismatic. Total was 47$ of course I tipped. Will come again. read more

Came here for dinner. Place as packed but we were able to snag a spot. Service was friendly but definitely lagging. Took some time to get drinks and utensils and even the check. Food was okay. My $30 chirashi was probably the smallest chirashi I've had for that price which was a bit disappointing. Fish was okay. My wife got the salmon skin salad which was decent. read more

A clean spot with friendly staff. I sat at the sushi bar and was well taken care of. I ordered the 8-piece sushi set along with a few extra nigiri. The rice-to-fish ratio was great, though a few pieces tasted a bit too similar because of the same sauce/seasoning used. Other than that, my visit was pleasant and I'll definitely be back. Plenty of parking in the plaza, too! read more

Terrific sushi spot, we loved Iciban and was sad to see it go, but happy we got a great replacement. We love the staff, everyone is so sweet, welcoming, and lovely.

David was so knowledgeable and gave us perfect recommendations. We can't wait to come back! read more

omg SO GOOD!!! if you are ever in the area give this place a try! the fish here is so fresh and everything was so delicious-- i have to say, this is probably top 3 for me. I've had takeout from them before at a friends house and wanted to sit down at the actual restaurant and it did not disappoint!! service was also great. the staff was attentive and friendly :) me and my friend came here around ~4:00 pm were seated immediately... we went in on a weekday so it might be different on the weekend. the restaurant itself has a chill vibe and I really love the layout and color palette of the place. the restaurant is located in a plaza, so if parking is something that would raise some concerns (i know for me personally the parking situation can make or break my decision on visiting a business but i digress)--look no further, there is an entire parking lot that has more than enough space read more

Great local sushi spot but it can get pretty packed on the weekend! The baked salmon roll is the best I've ever had. The aburi tuna roll is also really good.

The servers are always super nice and friendly! read more

AMAZING SERVICE!! I haven't tried many restaurants in this area but I can say Haruka made a good impression after coming here! My server Phanu was extremely kind, patient, and attentive. He gave me such good recommendations and this was one of the best servers I have had in a while. He made me feel so welcomed from the moment I sat down and checked in consistently throughout the meal without being overbearing. He took the time to explain the menu in detail, offered recommendations based on what I was in the mood for, and even made sure everything came out just right. You could tell he genuinely cared about making sure me and my mom had a good experience. I ended up trying some rolls and I will say the sushi quality is so fresh and I loved the salmon here. read more

We booked a reservation for 11 people, including three babies, well in advance, and when we arrived the restaurant claimed our reservation "didn't exist in the system." This was not just an inconvenience--it was deeply unprofessional and completely unacceptable. Managing a reservation for a large party is a basic responsibility of any restaurant, and to mishandle it so poorly shows a lack of organization and care for customers. Instead of apologizing sincerely or attempting to make accommodations, the staff dismissed us, leaving us stranded with infants in tow. That level of indifference is shocking for a business that should pride itself on hospitality. If you value professionalism, reliability, and basic courtesy, do yourself a favor and dine elsewhere. read more

This review isn't just about the sushi (which, by the way, was delicious) or the amazing, welcoming atmosphere -- it's for Tony, our waiter. My husband and I were genuinely impressed by his professionalism, kindness, and positive attitude. He turned a great dinner into an exceptional one. It's rare to find someone who truly elevates the whole dining experience, but Tony absolutely did. Every restaurant needs a "Tony"! Thank you for being the highlight of our evening -- you made our night unforgettable. read more

We arrived around 7:30pm on a Saturday night and although it was busy we only had about a 10 min wait with 2 small parties ahead of us. Once we placed our order the sushi arrived first and quickly! Good portions and tasty. Next came the ramen, also plentiful and yummy. Last came out was the karaage, which was hot and crispy. Service was attentive, friendly, and efficient. Atmosphere was open, clean, and contemporary. We would definitely return when we're in the area. Prices were reasonable as well. read more

After a fun morning at Descanso Garden, I came here for lunch with my family, including our two young kids, and had a really nice experience. The service was kind, quick, and super patient with us. They even gave the kids chopstick helpers, which was such a cute touch. My daughter loved using hers and felt so grown-up. For the kids, we ordered white rice, shrimp tempura, Ikura, edamame, and miso soup. I appreciated that they had options for brown rice, sushi rice, and white rice. They ate everything happily. My partner and I had the Shrimp Tempura Roll, 210 Roll, and Calamari. The calamari rings were large, so they weren't easy to share with the kids. They tasted fine, but I'd probably skip them next time. The rolls were delicious and I'd definitely recommend especially the 210. The restrooms were clean, but the women's bathroom was a bit dark--there's just one large stall with a single recessed lighting illuminating the entire restroom, and my daughter felt a little uneasy in there. Aside from that, the seating was comfortable, and the restaurant overall was clean and inviting. We'll definitely be back. read more

Went here for lunch today. I have been in there before, but today was more memorable. Edamame was perfectly seasoned with roasted garlic and flake sea salt. Small portion, but very delicious spicy tuna crispy rice appetizer. Yellow tail Carpaccio was well executed. The roles we were really well done as well. One baked and one fresh cut roll. Not a super fancy place, but very delicious. Service was friendly and efficient. All and all a great experience. read more

We like Haruka- been there many times. However, the last 2 visits were below par. We had a Bento box with "rib eye" that again was not tasty and chewy. Same with the BBQ ribs that were again not tasty and chewy and over cooked. My wife had a few bites and no more. Service was excellent and the YT collar was good. Sushi is always good. read more

Great service and good food. The Blossom was nicely presented- we loved it! Also, don't miss the scallops appetizer!

GREAT LOCAL SPOT FOR SUSHI AND BENTO BOXES ========================================== Some friends suggested that we meet at Haruka Sake and Sushi for dinner, so we did a week ago. My husband ordered the chicken teriyaki with tempura combo. Instead of the shrimp he requested all veggie tempura. I ordered the same, but I like shrimp so I got that along with the veggies. Everything was so good. Our friend ordered a couple rolls and she loved those. Her husband ordered the ramen and he liked that. We made reservations which was a good idea because it was packed on a Sunday night. The ambiance and service was great too. They had a pretty Christmas tree right when you walk in. read more

Had a wonderful dinner at Haruka! The service was great and the food was delicious. Some stand outs for me were the scallops not only were they beautifully plated and very aesthetic, but the texture was soft and buttery. The next stand out was the Salmon sashimi it was fresh and I loved how it was paired with citrus yuzu and lemon. The uni was my first time having uni so ai can't fully speak on it. I would say that the sauce it was suspended on was a bit too salty for my preference, but not a bad taste at all. The ambiance was great very clean, classic, and cute. read more

We've been coming to Haruka Sake and Sushi for a while now, and it never disappoints. My kids absolutely love their sushi rolls and the teriyaki bento box, the portions are just right, and everything is always fresh and flavorful. The meat is tender, the rice and salad sides are perfectly balanced, and the cucumber salad appetizer is a must every single time. All their rolls taste super fresh, and you can really tell they care about quality. We recently tried ordering through Yelp for delivery, and it was just as great, the food arrived right on time, the packaging was clean, organized, and so convenient. Whether dining in or ordering out, Haruka is always consistent, delicious, and family-approved! read more

This was my first time having an uni shooter and I ate it wrong. It was good regardless and the blue crab hand roll was my favorite that I'd ever had since it came with mayo instead of sesame oil. Don't even get me started on how fresh and tender the Hokkaido scallop nigiri was. I also loved the 210 roll since it used all fresh ingredients and the sriracha mayo they used really brought all the flavors together beautifully. The salmon usuzukuri was perfect to cleanse my palette since it used a lemon ponzu flavoring. That said, I also did have a pile of ginger next to me which the waiter brought after I requested extra. I was shocked by how good the tiramisu was. I came here for the sushi, of course, but they make their tiramisu so well. It had all the layers with ice cream being one of them. They have an open seating area, a bar, and an area in the back that's more isolated and intimate. I sat in the back which seemed more private and personal which I liked. read more
