In short, this restaurant hands down offers the fastest service I've ever experienced. It felt as if as soon as we handed our menus back after ordering, our food was already on the table! Absolutely astounding! Our meal was finished so quickly and so smoothly that I accidentally ended up ordering more because I was in disbelief how quickly food arrived! Aside from the impressive service, this restaurant offers some of the best combos I've seen available on a sushi menu. For example, I ordered the 5 nigiri and rainbow roll: variety nigiri and a rainbow roll--for only $25! Another example: my partner ordered the trio sampler, which is $24 for THREE half rolls. How sweet is that! As an Asian foodie, my favorite way to eat sushi is with a bunch of friends family style (ordering one or two rolls each and sharing with everyone at the table). Harumi's offerings make it possible to try a ton of different rolls without spending too much, even if it's just you! I find that to be a very attractive trait for a sushi restaurant and honestly wish more places offered something similar on their menus. Their sushi was also very delicious, haha. Honestly, I have no complaints about this restaurant. I only have two things to note for people looking to eat here. First, it is a pricier sushi restaurant. However, the food and especially the service make every bite worth it. I feel that many restaurants overcharge for tips or shove tipping in your face, but I was actually excited to tip the service here. Second, Google and Apple Maps have Harumi listed twice, each across the street from the other. It was a little confusing to get there walking in, but I do recall having to walk through a building to find the entrance. TL;DR: I had a wonderful experience. The food was great, but the service was really something special.
Tonight was our second time dining at Harumi and once again, we are not disappointed! The overall ambience is a mixture between elegant and trendy. For our appetizers, we opted for the spicy garlic edamame (a must) and miso soup. The spicy garlic edamame came out with a really well balanced flavor and hot out of the kitchen. Out of the three rolls that we ordered, we recommend the Mt. Fiji. Everything was just so delicious! Visiting is the perfect addition when we're celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Parking: depending on the day, parking can be tricky to find in Downtown Phoenix, but we found some metered parking a few blocks ago
Harumi was so good! This was my first time dining here, but our friends had been to Harumi in the past, before they renovated into a larger space. The restaurant used to be much smaller and now it has a front dining area with bar area, and a back dining room. Everything is decorated nicely and has a great Japanese aesthetic. Service was prompt and friendly which was great since we had a concert to attend right after dinner. What really was excellent was the food! The seafood tasted very fresh and the flavors were subtle and delicate, similar to Japanese food in Japan. They are one of the few places I've seen in the valley that serve freshly grated wasabi root versus the green wasabi paste. That was such a nice touch. They use purple and black rice for their dishes, hence the difference in color. And I loved my cocktail. I went back and forth on a few options and was so pleased with the Off Minor. It's a gin based cocktail with passionfruit curd, falernum, and lemon. It tasted like a lemon square, but not overly sweet. More delicate flavors and very refreshing.
Best sushi I have ever had! I was excited to see on Yelp that Harumi had won best Japanese in Phoenix a few times. Had to come in to try! Instantly was greeted and sat by the hostess and service was quick and easy. Loved every dish and drink that we had. There were lots of things I didn't know on the menu but appreciated the detail to help me figure out what each dish was. Can't wait to come back and try more!
I am by no means a sushi connoisseur, but I have been blessed to have lived in San Diego for about all of my life, as well as traveled to Japan to experience sushi. With that being said, I have found my new favorite sushi spot in Arizona. Their sushi is unique because it uses "purple sushi rice," which tastes more grainy than regular white sushi rice, but it works really well and the difference in taste is pretty subtle. The rolls that my friend and I shared were: Aburi, Hot Havana and Mt. Fuji. Out of the three, Mt. Fuji was my favorite, but they were all pretty good! I also ordered two pieces of nigiri: Wagyu beef and uni -- both were incredible. The uni definitely melts in your mouth. I can't remember the alcoholic beverage I ordered, but I didn't like it, so I didn't finish it. The restaurant itself is very modern and beautiful. My friend that I ate with mentioned how the location actually used to be smaller, but they expanded, so now it's definitely much more well known than it used to be. I hope that doesn't diminish the quality, but for my first visit the other week, I enjoyed it a lot! The workers were also very attentive and the food came out fairly quick, especially considering we went right as the restaurant opened.
Back here after four years and just as good as the first time! We enjoyed the trio, oh my god roll (should be a mandatory roll you order), and the salmon nigiri. The purple rice is always my fav way to have sushi! Staff were amazing and so nice as well.
We have beem going to Harumi for quite some time even before the new location which males theor old one look like a shack in comparison. Harumi has some great seafood flown in every day and I cant say enough about how great their Omakase is which I believe is only offered after 6pm. They have amazing sake bombers and also recommend the Unagi Don bown. Sushi can be pricey but for a great offering of sashimi and nigiri, I cant say it breaks the bank. They also have a wide range of rolls that the kids love as well as a flaming one done table side which is fun to watch. They also have real wasabi for just two dollars more which is well worth it. I also recommend happy hour for cheap damage, squid salad, and aforementioned sake bombers. Really a great option if you are staying downtown but also worth the trip from anywhere in the valley. Service is fantastic and quick, plus they have a bar at the sushi station if you want to see tour meal being made.the new location has very modern ambience and a very upscale feel to it. Waits havent been crazy but I recommend coming early. Also ask for the secret yokozunas flying banana. Well worth it.
Very good sushi! They have lots of variety, the fish was fresh, and the purple rice was cute! Service was also super friendly, and it's a really cute place!
We were going downtown for a concert, craving some sushi and found this place on Yelp. No reservations available, I did check their website where you can be adding to a waitlist, but it stated currently no waitlist and invited us to just arrive at restaurant. We arrived a little after 5pm and the restaurant was mostly empty. But in the next 20 minutes it filled up and there was open sitting at the bar only. The mood was initially quiet but quickly turned more up beat as the restaurant filled and pop rock music was playing. We asked our waiter a few questions about a few of their rolls and he was very helpful with guidance and recommendations. We ordered Salmon Lemon, Spicy Tuna, Salmon Avocado Maki and California rolls to share for two. This restaurant uses purple rice rather than traditional white rice. This was the first time we have tried a sushi roll made with purple rice and we both loved it. It added a nutty flavor and hearty texture. Purple rice is similar to wild rice and far nutritionally superior to white rice with more antioxidant and fiber. Shortly after we ordered we were served a potsticker dish. I mentioned that we did not order the item and were informed the appetizer was complementary. We thanked the server and tasted the dish. The potstickers were nicely pan fried and had a great crust and flavorful chicken filling. Delicious! About five minutes later our rolls were delivered. All were fresh tasting and delicious. Our favorite was the Salmon Lemon roll. We loved the pop the lemon added. Honorable mentions to the Spicy Tuna roll, very well done, excellent balance of heat and flavors. We truly enjoyed our dining experience and look forward to returning. Highly recommended for a quality sushi experience!
I have been to Harami sushi many times in the distant past, but this is my first visit since they moved across the street. It's spacious, tastefully decorated and either they hit the jackpot with staff or their training is spectacular. My table had lots of questions, but everyone they interacted with was knowledgable, helpful and professional. They were able to satisfy my friends who are vegan, vegetarian, and even gluten free without batting an eye. The sushi itself was all delicious. Rolls and nigiri are served using forbidden rice, which is a great twist on standard sushi. I had hamachi - fresh and promptly served. I also had the omg roll, which is served theatrically on fire in an aluminum foil boat. It's unagi based so totally appropriate. As a late add on we had the ahi tower which is a definite must for appetizer in the future. It was a fun evening and we'll certainly return.
If you work downtown, or near downtown you need to add Harumi lunches into your rotation! The new Harumi, which is directly across from the old one, is huge inside and has a beautiful interior. My favorite lunch special, which is less than $20 comes with Udon & 2 of the signature house rolls. The Udon is a large portion with a ton of flavor in the broth. The AZ Roll is my favorite but you can't go wrong with any of their signature rolls. The purple rice is a staple! If you are up for it or visiting alone sit at the sushi bar, the sushi chefs put on a great show!
This place was easy to find and parking was close. I wish I knew about this place sooner. It's inside a hotel, super high-end decor although the place looks super fancy most customers walked in dressed in regular daily wear. We got there right at lunch so it was super busy during a weekday. We decided to sit at the bar. I ordered a draft jefe, forgot the name. We had a couple appetizers and their own lunch menu sushi. Everything was so delicious. The food was just the right temperature and looked amazing. The staff at the bar was extremely helpful and kind. We can't wait to go back and try other dishes.
First time here and I was not disappointed. All of the staff were friendly and helped each other run food and refill waters, which isn't something you see much of these days. We were there at around 5pm and it wasn't too busy, but there was a steady flow of diners coming in and out. Seating is ample, with outdoor, bar, sushi bar, and regular table options. I ordered two rolls: hot havana and mango roll. Both were delicious and the mango was juicy! The purple rice was super fun and set them apart from other sushi spots. I also ordered the miso soup to start. The food came out quickly. My only "complaint" is there aren't a ton of classic roll options. But this is a more upscale sushi restaurant, so it isn't surprising. I will keep this place in my list of spots to hit when I'm looking for a bite to eat in DTPHX.
I feel like it could be soooo amazing if the schtick wasn't black rice sushi. The fish is good. The ambiance is beautifully upscale boho with a hint of asian. But the black rice hurts me... I really can taste the difference!! if you don't gaf about the rice then my god you've come to the right place. Also thanks so much to harumi for giving my friend a lovely little birthday surprise... still four stars because i'm japanese. read more
Truly an excellent choice for some good sushi. I came here for lunch today and was greeted by friendly and welcoming staff. The decor is beautiful too. I got a miso soup and some chicken gyoza to start. The gyoza was great and the sauce that came along with it made it even better. I ordered the spicy blue fin tuna roll and the oh my god roll. The oh my god came wrapped in foil and the server lit it on fire for some table-side entertainment. I preferred the oh my god roll, but both were good. I finished off with an order of the Toro, which was blue fin nigiri. Great stuff and I'd definitely come back read more

I love the ambiance of this place, very warm and inviting. The decor is beautiful and the smell of the place is heavenly. I would definitely come back here for a date night. A little bit on the pricier side but I think it's worthWhen I came in I sat at the bar and the drinks looked so interesting. If I was a drinker I would've ordered some. Service was also top notch. Now for the dishes... I had a sea weed salad. As expected, pretty good. Then I had 2 rolls. I cannot remember the names but the first one with the purple rice was really good. No need to add soy sauce for that one. And the second was a cucumber roll. Although the taste was great, it was hard to eat. The cucumber was thick and made for a huge bite so obviously I had to eat it in smaller bites. Making it fall apart. Again great in taste. I would maybe just recommend to shave the cucumber skin rather than just cutting it into circle shape. I would 100% come back to try other rolls. read more

I have been to the old location as well as the location in Peoria, I recently visited the downtown location, and what I love about Harumi is it is consistently amazing in terms of quality of food, service and overall experience. This location is beautiful I love the attention to details and the ambiance it creates. On this evening we had the stuffed jalepenos, gyoza, sampler roll plate, and the super crunch shrimp roll. Delicious every single dish was amazing !!! I hate the parking situation downtown just be patient or uber if you can lol! read more
A friend recommended this place to me and I decided to try it on a recent work trip into Downtown with some colleagues, and all I can say about this place is WOW! The atmosphere is definitely a bit more upscale, with dim lighting and steady flow of traffic, which I appreciated as opposed to some of the "all you can eat" sushi places around the Valley. The wait staff all works together very collectively and cohesively to ensure a guest experience, and the food is absolutely delicious. My colleagues and I started with the edamame as an appetizer, followed by several maki rolls and a large selection of nigiri. Each roll and piece of nigiri was incredibly fresh and wonderful. Unfortunately, I was so excited to eat that all I got a picture of was our empty plates! read more
We went to Harumi Sushi in Phoenix and the food was amazing. We ordered a bunch of stuff (ahi tuna crispy rice, spicy bluefin tuna roll, Harumi roll, Mt. Fuji roll, Hot Havana roll, sashimi & oasis roll, plus miso soup) and honestly everything was good, but the Mt. Fuji roll was the standout. The menu all looked so good it was hard to choose, but our server Yosi was awesome and helped us decide with great recommendations. The only downside was the wait (it originally said 35-45 min but ended up being closer to an hour and a half). A little annoying, but once we got seated the food totally made up for it. Cool spot overall with a nice patio, bar area, and good music. Definitely worth checking out if you're in downtown Phoenix! read more

This is one of the very few times I've given 5 stars! This place is very welcoming, with very high ceilings, big windows and a clean modern decor. We ordered the Nigeri Rainbow Roll combo, which was excellent. They use black sushi rice which I had never seen before. We also had the Oasis (kanisu roll), the sunomono salad (delicious but it was almost all cucumbers) and the ahipoke. The fish was very fresh and the dishes were very tasty. Our server, Dallas, was friendly, accommodating and very efficient. Overall a great experience! read more
What a beautiful sushi spot! Located inside a building, this place is super swanky and just really pretty. Our server was super fun and friendly and suggested the best items. The sushi was nice but honestly I would say the best thing here are the drinks. I would come here just for that alone. And the fresh wasabi which we had loads of. You can tell blue fin tuna is the star here but honestly left feeling still hungry. First time ever my bff asked for more drinks. She never does! Fun spot for happy hour next time I'm in town. read more
Best sushi I've ever had in Phoenix. Harumi is TOP NOTCH. I tell people about this restaurant every time someone says they want good sushi. It's definitely this place. The fish is fresh, the ambience is so nice, and I came here on my birthday and they brought out a cute little roll cake! I got a lychee cocktail as well and it was so pretty and tasty! Overall super impressed and I really enjoyed it! read more
Harumi Sushi has an amazing ambiance--truly off the chain. Worth the wait. They even have a dedicated vegan section, which is cool, but the options felt a bit limited and staff had to check if the batter was crossed with non-vegan or not. Miso soup was good and the sweet potato roll was alright. Just didn't hit the way vegan sushi can. Service felt rushed when we were sitting and had 2-3 servers just for me and my partner, which was a bit of a downside. Had to keep going to the kitchen grabbing our forgotten wasabi, ginger, etc. Still, it's a solid spot if you're looking for great vibes and sushi. 062125 read more
My 2nd time here but 1st time in their new location. The new space is very clean and modern and we enjoyed the ambiance. Great quality fish and good team-style service. And the best part is it's not any more expensive than the average sushi place. The combo with sashimi + oasis roll was delicious, came with 2 pc salmon/tuna/yellowtail and the cucumber wrap on the roll made it refreshing. The Ohmygod roll came wrapped in foil which they smoke/set on fire in front of you. Other faves were the Harumi and Aburi. Get the shishito peppers for starters. read more

The sushi is good quality and the pricing is not too bad, but this menu is definitely more mass-appealing than fish-forward. The bluefin tuna course and the aburi roll were my favorites. The oh-my-god roll is a pass for me however, just too heavy, oversauced/overseasoned, and not a distinct fish flavor anywhere in the roll. The staff here are soooo nice and helpful. Restaurant itself is beautiful as well. read more
Harumi Sushi has become a family favorite spot for celebrations, and this visit was to mark finishing my Bachelor's degree. We came on a Sunday night with a big group, and even without reservations everything was handled quickly and smoothly. I always go for the Poke Bowl which was super filling compared to rolls. The table shared spicy garlic edamame (not really spicy but still tasty), stuffed jalapeños (also mild but delicious), and gyoza. The star of the night was the OMG Roll. The fire presentation was amazing, and the smoky flavor it added made it unforgettable. What really sets Harumi apart is the staff. The cooks, servers, and the entire team work seamlessly together. Instead of waiting on just one server, multiple staff checked on us throughout the night, making us feel genuinely cared for. To top it off, we got a surprise dessert that said "Happy 21st Birthday!" a little mix-up, but hilarious since we weren't here for this. I previously celebrated my 21st here too, I guess I got to celebrate it twice! Overall, great food, fantastic service, and always a memorable experience. read more
BEYOND AMAZING! Absolutely worth trying to find parking downtown and worth any wait time they give you. The food is waaaay too good for the price (yes you read that right, they could charge more it was that delicious but I hope they don't so we can keep coming back). The Staff were very friendly and kept checking in on our group. The ambiance is amazing inside and outside. read more

The sushi here was beyond outstanding. I never understood quality sushi rice until now - they used a purple sushi rice which offered a whole new depth of flavor in comparison to traditional rice. Their fish was also SO fresh, it truly melted in your mouth. Next time I will have to try their rolls, but the bluefin tuna sampler was a solid place to start. Bonus points for the fresh wasabi. The service was excellent and ambiance was really nice. I would come here for a date night, a celebratory meal, or if you want to treat yourself to something nice! read more

I went for lunch while in town for work and just had the Mt Fuji roll - it was super clean and delicious! Service was attentive and I really liked the ambiance. Definitely going back for dinner next time I'm in phoenix ! read more
I looooove Harumi! I've been on the hunt for the best sushi spots in the valley, and time and time again, I kept hearing about this place, so I finally checked it out. First, the ambiance is stunning, clean, beautiful, and minimalist. The menu selection is incredible, and the flavors used in their dishes are even better. I highly recommend the Wagyu Beef Roll (our top pick), Harmonia Roll, and Oh-My-God Roll. The quality of their food and the aesthetic of its presentation are incredible here, and the speed of service is on point, even on a busy weekend night. Their cocktails are also amazing, our table ordered the Harumi Spritz, Off Minor, and Strawberry Between the Sheets- everyone LOVED their drinks. We even got to speak with different cooks and servers as we dined-each staff member was so inviting and easy to chat with. I can't wait to come back! read more

Decided on Harumi before a concert Downtown. With many food options Downtown, this was the only option for my picky eater 12 year old. The food and service would be hands down the reason why I come back the next time I'm in Downtown Phoenix. I ordered a seaweed salad, miso soup, gyoza, a side of sushi rice, and the sashimi & ocean roll combo. Was checked on many times that wasn't overly annoying. However the only critique or downfall was the fact that this establishment only had 2 restrooms. Which is equivalent to 2 stalls or 2 toilets. I just wanted to wash my hands before dinner. I had to wait in line for at least 15 minutes, only to hold my breath to wash my hands in a room that smelled like sewage... I waited longer for the restroom than I did for a seat at the sushi bar... On a Saturday night at 6:30pm. Needless to say, for a restaurant that probably has a max capacity of at least 50, 2 restrooms are unacceptable. read more

From the wood-slat entrance and leather drinks menu cover to the local Pip Coffee & Clay ceramics, the design and atmosphere of the new location has really stepped up the game. And the food? As fresh and delicious as ever. The one thing I can't stop ordering here is the Blue Fin Selections. You'll get four pieces each of fresh, buttery bluefin tuna nigiri and sashimi, as well as two pieces of spicy nigiri wrapped in seaweed. Plus, it includes *fresh* wasabi -- order it if your dish doesn't come with it. It's bright and spicy without the excessive nose burn of horseradish-based ones. I truly could eat this stuff on its own. The udon is flavorful with a nice bite and light spice. I was pleasantly surprised by the size for a starter dish. And you can't go wrong with any rolls (I rarely say this), especially with the purple rice texture. I also LOVE the non-alc drinks -- especially the jasmine yuzu spritz that has the extra nuance of dried lemon peel flavor. Service is great and well-organized, especially with the new bar and waiting areas. Absolutely one of the best date night spots in the Valley! read more
Cute restaurant to go for small bites/sampling. The fish is very fresh and I did enjoy their seared nigiri with the miso butter on top. The rice was a bit odd to me, its's purple and it just didnt compliment the fish like regular rice does. The service is great though and it's very pretty inside. read more

I have seen this restaurant all over instagram. The vibe is cute and trendy but intimate and sexy. Keep in mind they do not take reservations! We came on a Monday night and it was only a 5-10 minute wait.It isn't super noisy so it is perfect for a conversation during date night. Started with a matcha martini at the bar, it was alcohol forward and not too sweet which I enjoyed. Got a bottle of sake that the server recommended and it was fruity and delicious. The sunomono salad was a perfect start. Not pictured, all the sushi rolls that we ordered because we devoured them! Will definitely be back. read more

I've frequented this business for years, both their Downtown and Peoria locations. The food is consistently delicious, have quality fish selections and hot plates. I've never had a complaint regarding their service. They tend to share responsibilities across tables which makes for a seamless dining experience. The environment at the Downtown location is a bit more upscale than the Peoria location, making it perfect for a quick lunch or even birthday dinner. read more
If you're looking for top-tier sushi in Phoenix, Harumi Sushi Bar is the spot. From the moment I walked in, I could tell this place was serious about quality--and it did not disappoint. The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. I loved that they use purple rice, which adds not only a unique texture but also extra nutrients and a slightly nutty flavor that complements the fish perfectly. Every roll was balanced, creative, and melt-in-your-mouth good. The atmosphere is chill and inviting, perfect for date night or catching up with friends over sake and sashimi. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to make recommendations, which made the experience even better. Harumi is now one of my go-to sushi spots in Phoenix. If you love high-quality sushi with a twist, you need to check this place out. It absolutely lives up to the hype. read more

9/10 Went for a late Valentine's Day and would definitely revisit. My boyfriend and I have some pretty high standards as far as sushi goes. He's a chef at hiro sushi and although there's no beating the sashimi and nigiri at hiro, we were looking for some rolls to enchant our tastebuds as Hiro doesn't offer a variety like harumi does and wow were we pleasantly surprised. First we got the jalepeno poppers which I wouldn't re order again (not spicy enough, not cream cheesy enough, and not enough dynamic flavor) everything after that was smooth sailing!!! Better miso soup than most places! The service was comically fast! Their line up is on fire! The garlic edamame, although not very spicy, in fact I'd say the description is misleading, was a unique twist I haven't seen before, a pleasant surprise of a buttery brown sugar taste with a hint of spice but I loved it! All the rolls we tried were exceptional like blown out of the park and just what we were looking for! The oasis was my favorite! Oh my god was closely tied and then the mt. Fuji was still awesome but I wouldn't get again! Our server was nice but we could kind of tell he was lying when we asked his thoughts on it and he said it was his favorite, he was very attentive tho and observant! We're picky about sushi so I've got a harsh scale but I'm overall impressed read more
Wow! I have known about this place for a while but had never been in to check it out because of all of the other great restaurants downtown. I came in thinking it would be "just another restaurant" downtown, but was blown away by the ambiance, service, and quality of the food. Ambiance - this restaurant is located on the ground floor of a building right across from the Rose Garden bar. The restaurant is beautiful inside and fortunately was not too crowded when we came for lunch on a holiday. Service - very quick and attentive. There were a couple servers who came by our table and everyone was super nice and helpful. Food - really good. We ordered an OMG roll and they actually came to our table and it it on fire! I was not expecting that! Their sushi menu has a lot of variety to it. Everything we ordered was great. read more

Was the food good? Yes, it was! Was the ambiance good? Yes! Was the service good? Yes sir it was. Now is it the best sushi I've ever had - the rolls I had were good but not the best. We had the Harumi Roll and the Wagyu Roll. Both were listed at the top with stars next to their names so I thought they would be the one... they were good but not amazing. the Yellowtail carppacio was good! And all the Nigiri I've had there was good. I'll just have to continue to try more rolls or stick with the Nigiri. read more

3.5 stars. We came here on a Friday night. They don't do reservations from what I could see, so we just walked in. We had to wait around 10-15 mins to get seated. You can order drinks at the bar or ask them for a server to take your drinks order as you sit in the courtyard. They have an extensive cold sake selection. I don't particularly enjoy cold sake, so I ordered a hot house sake. The others in the group ordered different cocktails, which were sake based. Once seated, our server was quite jolly, interactive and funny. The lighting in the restaurant is horrible, so be prepared to use your phone flashlight if you don't have good vision to begin with. Ambiance wise, the restaurant has an upscale urban garden feel, but is all indoors. We ordered the Unagi roll, dynamite roll, hot havana roll, baby squid salad, Unagi nigiri, mushroom specialty nigiri, gyoza, blistered shishito peppers, super crunch shrimp roll. The food was fine but not out of the world. In fact, my brother and I were very disappointed that their "spicy" dynamite and hot havana rolls were nowhere near spicy. They were just ok. The Unagi was also just ok. I'm a big fan of mushroom so I liked the mushroom specialty nigiri but the specialty nigiri didn't feel too special. The baby squid salad was ok. The gyoza and the super crunch shrimp rolls were the best. These were both very very very good! The blistered shishito peppers were actually sweet which was a little weird. Usually they have at least a little kick. The wasabi was definitely not fresh because my brother and I could eat quite a bit of it without feeling much. We had green tea mochi for dessert, which was very good. We paid a pretty penny for the whole meal and I don't think it was worth that amount. It was decent food but not spectacular. I'm sure there are nicer hole in the wall places in Phoenix that have genuinely good sushi. read more
Wow, this restaurant has come a long way since the original review I wrote 11 years ago. Harumi sushi has completely upgraded and revamped the restaurant and it is beautiful. They even kept their best sushi choices on the menu and iit was a remarkable experience. Bravo, Harumi! read more

Visiting Phoenix for the first time and a couple friends recommended this spot for sushi. They knew what they were talking about. The service was awesome and very helpful during our first visit. Everything seemed to come out pretty fast after we ordered. The toro was my favorite and it was really clean and fresh. We came around 8 and didn't wait too long on the waitlist. Had a party of 7 that and they got everything right for us. Great sushi spot if you're looking for one! read more

Never been a big fan of DTPHX for no other reasons than it's always a bit of a mess with traffic, one-way streets, and the struggle to find parking. But when I make it to where I'm going, I end up enjoying it haha. I love trying new spots whenever I'm in the area, and today's pick was Harumi! A few people had recommended it, and it definitely didn't disappoint. Super cute place with a modern vibe, great service, and a nice ambiance. The sushi and drinks were delicious and reasonably priced too. read more
