Haruki - Japanese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Really fresh sushi! Super good! I love the California roll! Perfect temperature, size, and taste. read more

I came here randomly after a doctor appointment nearby because i was starving. And I'm used to eating in providence and Boston so i didn't have high hopes. But omg every detail of my meal was incredible. The bartender was super attentive and despite being incredibly busy, he was super apologetic and stayed on top of things. I'm never in a hurry anyway so i don't mind waiting. He explained a couple things on the menu to me that i didn't quite understand. I ended up deciding on the pork katsu curry. The miso soup i got to start was probably the most flavorful miso soup I've ever tried in my life. This was also my first experience with Japanese curry. And the flavors were so hearty, and earthy. I rarely can finish an entire plate in one sitting, but this dish was just so good i couldn't help myself. Not to mention the prices are well worth the experience. I was bragging to my boyfriend about how good this place is and i can't wait to go back with him soon. read more

Usually my go to spot for sushi (Tuna crisp to be exact) a scorpion bowl, chicken yakisoba noodles and pan fried gyoza. It took the waitress about 10 min to come over and when she did we gave her our whole order including drinks,apps, and entree. Food came it was cold....we had to flag the bus boy down to get the waitress, she takes food in the back ( I don't ever give food back because you know), brings the same gyoza back cold (minus the one we tried) and the yakisoba noodles back luke warm (with no steam at all billowing out) because they were supposed to be heated.....then when we asked for the bill sans gyoza they bring only two out again..We are extremely disappointed considering we go there about once a week for years!!! Shout out to Alex, solid waiter and always is on point. read more

Haruki's sushi is fine but definitely not the best. The maki rolls are too big and loaded with rice and not much flavor. That said, the fish was fresh, the service was friendly, and it's open later than many other sushi places. I'd classify it as a good if you're in the neighborhood restaurant but not good enough to go out of your way. read more

I've been here so many times that I lost count. Basically, this is the place to go for great sushi and authentic Japanese food. I always have some sushi and finish off with cold noddles. Again, if you never had, or want to try Japanese food, come here. NOTE: this is for the Cranston location. I've never been to the other Haruki's in Providence, so your on your own. read more

It's 5+ grade!! The food was great and their service was excellent! Especially we really like their atmosphere and family friendly equipment and staffs. My family were really enjoyed, and we will definitely re-visit this place soon. read more

Haruki - Zaru Soba, Katsu - Pork, Udon, Sushi Deluxe, Miso Soup - Japanese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

What? I never reviewed this place? Cliff Notes: it's some of the best sushi in R.I. - and has been for decades. Pearl: you should really try to spicy scallop roll. No need to fear: it's completely cooked and not raw. My wife eats nothing raw and she loves it. Wait staff are very nice and are accommodating even when you are clearly a pain in the tuckus. Time: Usually don't have to wait for seating because it tends to be a little out of the way - busier at Haruki East. read more

I've always liked it here. It's not amazing Japanese food nor is the sushi extraordinary but it's good enough for RI. The service is always good. For the food that doesn't come out so great, there's enough good food to make up for it...if that makes any sense. It's pretty casual inside the restaurant. I'd say it's a good place to grab some drinks at the bar along with a few apps. I was disappointed with the uní here but then again I've been disappointed with uní everywhere in RI. I am not really sure we share the same meaning of the word fresh... Anyhow, get some fried ice cream! read more

Haruki delivers every time! Delicious piles of the freshest sashimi and sushi!! Try the white tuna!! They are always more than happy to accommodate my request for extra ginger! read more

Picked up to go order. 2 packets of soy sauce and the sushi was so tiny and the price went up again this place is no longer what it was. Won't go back ever. read more

We have been going to Haruki for years now and decided to take a trip from the East Bay over to Cranston for some sushi this week. We were sorely disappointed. This place has gone downhill. The quality isn't anywhere close to what it once was. The Nigiri portions are smaller and the two special rolls we ordered were seriously lacking in flavor. This was our go-to for good, consistent sushi, but our previous two experiences have been pretty bad. At $80 a pop for two people (without drinks) I expect better. We have crossed Haruki off of our list. I think we can find a better option. read more

We have been loyal customers of Haruki for 17+ years and we still love it! Although things have changed (new staff, smaller portions, etc) the quality of their food has not. The best thing about this restaurant is that although they're known for their sushi, they have a variety of other options for people who dislike seafood. Service is quick and the food comes out in a timely manner. Reservations are not necessarily, unless it is a Friday night. Such a good place! Highly recommended it!! read more

TONY IS THE BEST BARTENDER TO EVER EXIST. he's the coolest, funniest and friendliest bartender. This was a great experience because of him

Been going there for many years. Consistently the best sushi in RI. Have tried all their house special rolls. Superman is the best! Their basics are amazing. Very helpful in selecting new things to try. A friend RAVES about the eel dinner. Always fresh and delicious. Their menu is a pain to read online. But we don't even need to look at it anymore because we practically know it by heart. read more

We have been going here for years. That in itself is a positive review... foot surgery dictated use of a kneewalker. Access was fine and staff was more than accommodating and caring regarding my situation. We started with shrimp nam chow and miso soup. For our main dish we each had a serving of Sesame Tuna.. the tuna is seared with a coating of sesame seeds. It comes with greens and fresh sliced tomatoes drizzled with their house ginger dressing.. it's an appetizer on menu but plenty big enough to be a main course. We complemented the meal with a hot house saki.. yum. (I just ate dinner at home and I'm starting to crave Haruki!! We have had all kinds of sushi here too. Never a disappointment .. gotta give em 5 stars.. there ya go!!! read more

No matter how many sushi places we try my husband and I always go back to haruki. We have always had great sushi here and the prices are great as well. I would give suggestions of good rolls to try but honestly I don't think you can go wrong with anything you get here!! read more

Honestly, this place has some of the best sushi I think I've ever had. I've tried so many different menu items, and I've never been disappointed. Even their dessert of fried ice cream is sensational! The perfect finish to a perfect meal. I have relatives who literally come here once a week (I can't say the same for any restaurant, but that definitely speaks volumes on it's popularity). read more

I frequent the haruki express shop on Thayer a lot and have yet to be disappointed with their sushi. The restaurant itself is even better. We arrived pretty much as soon as it opened on a Friday, just in time for lunch hr; at this point there wasn't too much people, but it wasn't completely dead either. It's really a good idea to come with a few group of friends/family, that way each person can order something they want and everyone can just pick and choose what they like from each plate. I find that it's a good way to try a variety of sushi in one sitting and this way you can determine which rolls you like best and which rolls to avoid next time. If I'm dining alone and I'm pretty much starving I normally order the 6 piece rolls and one of the special rolls. I always automatically skip through to the special rolls when browsing through the menu in any sushi place, they often tend to be the chunkier rolls that fill you right up. My younger sister, was a first-time sushi eater (which I should also should add is quite choosy w/ her eating prefs), we suggested she go for the California roll. Needless to say we converted her. (Though we should have warned her about the green ball of wasabi on her plate, she thought it was avocado and immediately chowed down on it with much displeasure. lol...) So our table had an order of the Spider Shimp which came w/ 8-10 rolls, delicious-- I always order this @ the express shop but here it's even better, the Superman roll was one of the raw rolls, who would've thought that raw fish doesn't actually taste like raw fish. Would order again. With that roll I ordered a side of the piano which was pretty light tasting. As far as service goes, I would have to say our waitress was nice, didn't pester us w/ a million questions and did her job well. Haruki's has my approval, I will have to try Haruki's East next and see how that compares. ps: They have the cutest kissing fish in the waiting area, right where you walk in, I advise anyone to take a look. :) read more

Haruki holds so many wonderful memories for me. It's been my go-to for years with friends and family. The food is always delicious, the staff are some of the nicest people. They would ask how I am and I would update them on how things have been. They are like a family to me. I left for college a few years ago. After I graduated I came back to Rhode Island, they saw me and instantly put together my "usual" and congratulated me on my graduation. I almost teared up! I love their house Rolls, especially the 'Spicy Joe' roll and their Pork Gyoza is also something I would recommend. This is my absolute favorite place to go. read more

Everything was delicious! The staff was friendly and we were seated quickly. The portions were big and tasted fresh. We had cold soba noodles and pork katsu and shrimp Katsu. The sauce was a little overwhelming but not a deal breaker. I would definitely recommend for a solid Japanese dinner read more

I have dined here for many years. The BEST SUSHI IN RHODE ISLAND! The rest of the menu is overpriced though. The green tea fried ice cream is a must to end your night. Will be going here tonight for the spider shrimp roll and manhattan, both my faves! There is also a back room for bigger parties of about 10. You can sit on the floor in a traditional Japanese paper room which I love. read more

Food C posted that I have been to enough Sushi restaurants to know what to expect. And I couldn't agree more. What makes the common Sushi restaurant stand out among it's peers is the freshnes of the fish, the presentation, the service and my always important category the cleanliness. Haruki does better than average in all these categories. The fist is always fresh and I have always liked sitting at the Sushi bar. The chef's are inviting but not over bearing. The presentation while not the most creative is always good and finally the place is clean. I have been going to Haruki for years and will continue to. It's a great place to eat before catching a flight at Greene or coming home. read more

I've never had a bad meal here. Wonderful, attentive service. A variety of sushi, sashimi, bento boxes and other options for those that think all Japanese food consists raw fish. Great date place, romantic night out or take out. Great variety of Japanese beers, along with the usual types and sake's, as well as original martinis. I'd recommend them to anyone. Lastly, and most importantly, I trust them with the raw seafood. The turnover is high, so quality does not suffer. This ain't no mall sushi joint. Haruki is the real deal. read more

I stopped by this place to meet up with my old friend from back home(NC) who was having a show at the hotel nearby. First I noticed that the XXL menu contrary to the size of this place. Might as well, call it a dictionary. Maybe because of that, it took a while to get sashimi deluxe despite of the place wasn't that busy. (I learned that large menu often slow down and hinder the kitchen performance from "Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmare"). Fish were fresh indeed and size of slice wasn't so generous(thin). But having seen diabolical rip off by Sakura Tokyo in Worcester, Haruki's pricing($18 for sashimi deluxe) is absolutely fair. So there's no complain there. Having experienced quite high end sushi joint such as Fugakyu, it is quite hard to be forgiving and fair. And I honestly would like to give 3 stars. But considering it's located somewhat 'burb-ish entity where is not so international. I think I should give one more star for them keeping good balance of attracting both adventurous audience and stubbornly conservative audience. read more

A quicky yelp... Disappointed... Best thing I had was the salad... Otherwise the bento, salmon skin roll, udon and dinosaur roll was a disappointment... Server and host was nice and personable...

6pm reservation, didn't take us until 7:30. What's the point of a reservation if your going to make us wait. Used to love this place

This is a decent sushi restaurant. They have a wide variety of sushi and sashimi selections that they offer. Each time that we have gone for dinner, we were seated in a reasonably timely manner and greeted with smiles. We like to order the special sushi rolls. If you order six or more, they put them on a huge sushi boat. The kids always get a kick out of that as well as all the people in your party. Though the seafood appears to be fresh and the presentation is excellent. Each time I eat there, I leave wanting. I'm not sure why. We love sushi and frequent another restaurant in Warwick which always satisfies, that must be why. That said, many really enjoy this restaurant and I have not had a bad experience. Though I'm a raw sushi kind of guy, I do highly recommend the scallop roll. It's cooked, but really is fantastic :) read more

My. Daughter and I ran in for sushi before an appt. We sat at the sushi bar. The fish is fresh, well presented, and consistent everytime. The best thing is it's the only place in RI in an find bluefin tuna. It is amazing everytime. I also like the subtle spiciness to their spicy maki roll and not over do it with spicy mayo. Sashimi is always good size, and chefs ate friendly. Go to Haruki. read more

Delicious! Quick and enjoyable dining! Avocado salad was perfect and the sushi on point.

Best Sushi in Rhode Island. Great staff. Great food. Eat inside if and when you have the chance.

We ordered takeout during the corona virus shut down and let me tell you, it was the BEST decision. The fish was incredibly fresh, the rolls were amazing, it was such a treat to have sushi takeout during this time. Highly recommend visiting Haruki Cranston! read more

Haruki in Cranston is the best place for sushi. We've been coming here for 20 plus years. The experienced waitstaff and bartenders Tony and Junior are awesome! They always treat you with respect and like family. Thank you to all the employees at Haruki's. Bill & Nancy read more

The very first time I went to Haruki they didn't have the new renovations yet. The sushi was not good and I remember I never wanted to eat sushi again because of that experience but I ventured to trying out sushi elsewhere and it was great so I got back into eating sushi. At the time the sushi was so small in size, and the sauce was runny. It just wasn't a good experience. Recently with the new renovations, I decided to go back and try their food because of my love of sushi from other restaurants. I have to say, the flavor and presentation of their sushi has improved SIGNIFICANTLY! I thought the sushi tasted very good, the rolls were tight and not falling apart and the sashimi tasted fresh. I gave them a 4 star because the service was kind of lacking, the water was not filled...we just waited...and waited. Would recommend for the sushi! read more

Haruki - Japanese Near Me - Cranston, Rhode Island

Haruki's was a bit of a letdown for us. Nothing was really bad or poor in service - quite adequate, in fact - but we were hoping for Japanese cuisine that would be a step above the host of other sushi or Korean-Japanese typically found. Haruki's appetizers probably best approached this ideal: we devoured 2 orders of a terrific fried soft-shell crab, crispy-hot and delicious; and similarly for their panko-fried oysters katsu, plump and juicy interior, surrounded by a nicely friable batter. The shrimp and vegetable tempura, however, was merely adequate, fortunately not greasy or heavy, but nothing eye-opening either. Moving on to main entrees, one of our party had the sushi and teriyaki salmon bento box dinner - which again was rather ordinary, adequate but unremarkable. The rest of our party shared two sushi platters - the Heaven and the Paradise - which arrived table side on impressive boats, but again, while the sushi and sashimi were fresh, we didn't find them to be that special cut above we were hoping for. So all in all, a decent Japanese and sushi house, but nothing to go out of your way for, save for some very good appetizers (if you choose well). read more
