The food here is absolutely amazing. I'm a waitress and was blown away by how fresh the ingredients in my sushi and our fried rice was. Our server, Queenie, was very attentive and got everything to us quickly. You will not be disappointed, I still can't get over how fresh the food was here. I will absolutely be making the drive to come back here again! read more

Haruki - Japanese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Good. Not horrible not 5 stars but I would eat here again. Had the bento box with salmon and sushi, was fresh, clean and tasty. Just nothing to set it apart from any other good Japanese restaurant but was a good place for dinner. read more

Best sushi in the State. Period. I'll spare the readers on a lengthy 200 word review. This place is 5 star. End of message.

Again, Sushi heaven. Love the food here, and the service is always great too. read more

I've been here a few times. I'd usually rate it 4 stars but I feel the quality has deteriorated. We ordered hamachi kama which arrived burned. The oshitashi spinach was missing dried fish shavings and the rolls we ordered were missing ikura salmon eggs on top as was pictured so we sent it back. Service is just ok, nothing special. read more

Haruki is the best Japanese food restaurant in Cranston besides ichiban which is equally as good. The spicy scallop roll here is hands down the best in the state and anywhere I've personally eaten it. There's a reason why they've been open as long as they have. Beautiful bar too. read more

Finding good Japanese cuisine in Rhode Island is no easy task. With only a handful of Japanese restaurants in the area, the choices are limited and so are the prices. You'd be unsurprised to expect a $20 meal per person minimum at most places. This is where Haruki is Rhode Island's saving grace. They offer great food, present a calming ambience, and boast talented culinary artists at an affordable price. It is a very clean, well-kept restaurant with excellent decor and great food. Not limited to just sushi, Haruki offers a wide variety of Japanese dishes such as rice bowls, yakisoba, and curry. Unfortunately, I am allergic to seafood, so I am unable to review their sushi menu. But I have been able to eat the Tamago (egg) sushi, which is freshly prepared at their bar. It tastes great and I always grab a side order of it whenever i'm there. Other people have told me that their california rolls and regular sushi are excellent, so I will take their word for it. Their non-sushi dishes are mostly good, though some particular items need refining. And I'd love to see some missing staple items on the menu like Onigiri. Just for the sake of completion. But in the long run, just about everything tastes great. The service is to be commended, too. The waiters are quick, friendly, and take their job seriously. You won't find any bored college dropouts busing your table with a fake corporate smile. No, the service here is genuine and feels personal. Some of the chefs at the sushi bar are also chatty and don't mind talking to you, either. I always feel welcome at Haruki. read more

We have been to Haruki many times. The food is always consistently great and deserves 5 stars! Our issue last night was with the server. First the drink orders took forever and the Pino tasted like sweet water, so she brought another glass that looked and tasted completely different. We ordered a variety of sushi and sashimi for 4, expecting it would all come together. But it didn't. She brought it separately on plates rather than together in a boat. Haruki needs to spend more time training servers. read more

If your looking to eat a bowl of trashy ramen this is the place. Over priced and slow service. Noticed people wait 10 mins before they were asked for a drink. read more

The food isn't bad but the warm sushi was concerning. Honestly I won't be returning since there are many other better options in the area.

This is my best Japanese food I had outside Japan I have been eating at Haruki since they were in Cranston over 13 years. They moved to Warwick 10 years ago. Mr. Haruki is the owner. You still find him there behind sushi line once in a while. I love interaction with my sushi chef, Mr. Take when sitting at sushi bar. Unlike most Sushi place in Boston owned by Chinese or Korean. Sushi chefs here are all Japanese and working here over 10 years. Sushi here remind me of Nippon Tei in Bangkok which is the best Japanese restaurant in Thailand where the royal family and Japanese people eat. They are just fresh, high quality and most of all...cheaper than Boston. I always spend around 100 dollars for sushi for two. We would pig out ordering almost everything off sushi menu. When I crave for sushi, I drag myself down to Providence. Here what really good there.........................everything. Don't forget to get dessert there with shaved ice, sweet red bean paste, and milk. UNBELIEVABLE! EDIT : A few years ago, the whole restaurant customers on a lunch sunday gave Mr. Haruki a standing ovation and loud cheering because he chased a big trashy biker out of his restaurant. This guy sat three seats away from me at Sushi bar. Continuously complained about one teriyaki dish and had it sent back 4 times. Everytime he started to complain out loud, there was couple pieces of meat left on the plate. He ate them almost all. Mr. Haruki was polite at first and gradually lost his cool after 4 sent back dishes yelling in Japanese with right hand pointing his sushi knife at the guy. A food critic who is a regular told me to observe the show this guy tried to pull. As soon as he demand another dish cooked for him for free and wanted it packed for togo. Man, I thought Mr. Haruki changed his name to Mr. Miyaki in Karate Kid......He was gonna kung fu ninja that guy. The best thing I have seen in restaurant....... when he got back behind sushi bar, he came back with the same coolness, chatted with customers, and acted like nothing happen. A standing ovation in the restaurant!! That big dude ran out for life.....unforgetable ! read more

I have driven by Haruki I don't know how many times and I literally want to kick myself for not stopping in sooner! For a lover of sushi and asian cuisine, it was a mistake not eating here as soon as I moved into this area. FINALLY went in the other night and was super impressed with the food and service, as well as the prices. I recently got my husband into trying sushi and now whenever we go out where they serve it, he orders. He is a very picky eater, and is hard to impress but Haruki is now on his top 5!!! read more

My favorite sushi restaurant, whenever I'm in New England I try to fly into Green so that I can stop by Haruki's before heading up to Boston. I've been to Haruki in Providence which may have ambience but completely lacks the warmth of the Warwick location. When I don't order sushi I Really enjoy the tuna with white and black sesame seeds (which wasn't on the menu in their Providence location when I visited). read more

The food was good, but the service was absolutely terrible. I sat for a good 10 minutes without being treated or offered a drink. I got my drink after waiting another 5 minutes and all i had ordered was a water. My sushi came out wrong and after we got our food correctly we weren't asked how our food had turned out and when we had finished eating the waitress and still not returned to our table to take our plates and drop the check. read more

They do an excellent job, service was awesome, and the prices are very reasonable. My husband had the soft shell crab special, and he loved it. I stuck with the California roll, and an appetizer of Oshitashi, which was a tad bland. Presentation wasn't as neat as some of the other times I've been there, but they were super busy. Got a chuckle observing some meathead dudes who's girlfriends dragged them there, eventually they'll see the sushi light. read more

It's about time that I wrote a review about Haruki seeing how I am there every Monday for $5 martini night. Yup, you read it right, 5 bucks for a deliciously made martini. Quite a variety, but I always get the Lychee martini. We always start with the black tea edamame . I love the habanero eggs on the spicy tuna roll, the superman and dinosaur rolls are good also. Service is always great, place is clean. Great place for fresh sushi. read more

Great place, especially for a cheap lunch. Bento boxes are good, great sushi. I love their chicken egg rolls and teriyaki bento box. Try it, you'll like it. read more

Like Haruki East, this place rates just as good. I do feel like east is a notch better. Haruki Cranston actually has a parking lot for convenient parking. So parking isn't fussy.. BUT back to the food. The sushi is fresh, well made, I've never been disappointed, great tempura and teriyaki. I always come here after work, it's where I go for a real Japanese dining experience. The service is attentive and pleasant. You can't go wrong.. read more

We were on vacation, and this highly rated restaurant wasn't far from the hotel, so we decided to check it out, the service was good and the sushi was better, got the daisuke roll, rock & roll, and 2 simple maki rolls, they were fresh and delicious Can't recommend enough read more

First time we went, we were seated and taken care of by a very nice asian lady. Second time for lunch the owner was very nice and outstanding. Loved the food. But 3rd time I ordered to go today and the lady taking my order didn't mention the website was hacked. I ordered everything off the lunch menu. So when I picked it up I was shocked at the total price. :(. The sake don is only for dinner. The last taking the phone orders needs to learn better service and to tell the total to the customer. Not hang up on them. read more

Haruki in Cranston is awesome for take-out Sushi! I go there all the time for my need for quick sushi fixes. Spicy Tuna Maki! Yerm!

LOVE IT! i completely think it's worth the trip to Cranston to eat at Haruki-- in my experience the food is better than the restaurant on the east side, as is the atmosphere. definitely recommended! read more

The last and only time I visited this branch of the local Haruki chain, there were about 3 flies flying around the sushi bar area where the sushi was being made. read more

Great customer service! We ordered take out and waited by the bar. The hosts and bartender were super nice and pleasant. Sushi tasted great and price was very reasonable. read more

Haruki is really hit or miss. I've been here several times and walk away with a different impression every time. The portions are kind of small and the price does not make up for it--it is about $40 a head for a normal dinner. The fish really varies in quality, sometimes it's fresh and delicious, other times it just tastes old (not something I desire when eating raw fish). I come back only because its the only decent sushi place in the area, but it does have me searching for other alternatives. On weekends, service is quite slow and unattentive. I had to remind our waitress of our order several times during the course of my dinner one weekend, making me question the point of her being there in the first place! I was sitting at the sushi bar and just told the chef what I had because she obviously was not letting him know! read more

Very fresh! The disuke maki was great. A little pricey for lunch though and no maki rolls on the lunch menu. Otherwise great atmosphere and good food. read more

All the food tasted so fresh - and delicious. Really blown away by this place. We brought both our kids and everyone was very friendly. Was impressed with the amount of choices on the menu. We love sushi and now count this place as one of the top places we've tried. Can't believe it's right here in Cranston. read more

Best Sushi around here. Only other one that may come close is Ran Zan in Providence. Haruki's Shabu-Shabu is great too!

We had simply delicious sushi and a super lovey server! We have gone many times and ALWAYS been pleased. I recently found my new favorite roll...daisuki!!! Oh wow perfection...so fresh and the just the right amount of kick! read more

I've only had sushi here but it has been great every time I go. The staff is polite and service is always prompt. Sushi bar area is nice. Great local place for take out as well! read more

A friend introduced me to this place. I wasn't an expert on sushi, so she ordered for us. The service was quick, could have been because it was slow. We ordered a California roll, Spicy Scallop roll, as well as the spider crab roll. All of them were absolutely delicious!! I couldn't get enough! I've returned many other times with my mom and sister and we try to mix it up a bit. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for some good sushi. read more

Best Sushi in Rhode Island, and I think I've tried them all. Do yourself a favor and order the Spicy Scallops roll if you go there - they are phenomenal! I find myself going back almost every week. While the inside decor is a bit outdated, the food is high quality and the service is super friendly. It is a bit more costly than some other places, but the guys at the sushi bar learned their trade from a real Japansese sushi chef, so you don't get wannabe sushi. read more

It is decent sushi, I can't hate on it really, but Ichiban in Cranston is so much better. We only came to Haruki because we went by Ichiban and they were closed for vacation. It is hard when you are comparing everything you ate to somewhere else.... read more

This is a trusty standard for my wife and daughter who go here often. Good food and service, very dependable. Good prices and nice ambiance. I like it very much but I don't go out for Sushi very often so they usually go without me. read more

I've been there for many years and ITS THE BEST SUSHI PLACE! Im always excited to go there and always leaving there with a smile. There food is always done well and never displeased me. The bento box comes with alot of food and the sushi there is just simply amazing. And the staff there is friendly as always. 5 stars all the way! read more

My bf and I visited Haruki last year on Valentine's day- the Cranston location- and were pretty pleased with our visit. It was very busy, being a special night for diners, but it wasn't so packed that it was uncomfortable. The sushi was good, service was good, and the atmosphere was very nice. I wouldn't say it blew me away with any specific thing, but I'd go back again. read more

I normally love this place and the food is great. But on my last visit the service was atrocious!!!! I had to wait for over two hours to get my food. After the initial order the only time I got a water refill was at the end of the meal when the manager came over and apologized. Which had to be initiated by us. Not cool Haruki, not cool. read more

We eat there often. Always delicious and tasty. I've never had a bad meal. Service can be a little inattentive and slow. However I think they have some of the better Japanese food in Rhode Island, along with Ran Zan. read more

I've eaten here for years with no complaint until today. I was served a gross unidentifiable cockroach looking bug on top of my salad. When I noticed it (which was right away - thank goodness- since it was on top) I immediately asked the server to take it away. The meal was not comped and nobody came out to apologize for my gross experience. I would skip it completely. read more

nothing speical, the food was average and the price was high.
