This spot needs to be busier than it was on a Saturday at 12 PM!! There were 3 other tables that…read morewere filled when my friend and I came but the restaurant was so cute. The space was decorated simply and it wasn't loud at all so it was the perfect place to catch up with my friend. The waiters were super attentive and our food came out so quick. We ordered the oshinko roll, seaweed salad, sake nigiri, and bluefin tuna roll which was recommended by the waiter. We loved everything! It was the perfect amount of food for both of us and we left feeling comfortably full. I'm actually not a big seafood person so I loved the addition of vegan rolls on the menu. The use of purple rice was also very cute and made for good photos! It didn't make a huge texture/taste difference so we didn't mind it. Overall, I highly recommend this spot for some yummy rolls. Ratings Oshinko roll: 5/5 Seaweed salad: 5/5

This place has excellent sushi, including vegan options! They have 4 rolls under a clearly labeled…read more"Vegan Sushi" section, and I really love the sweet potato roll. In addition I confirmed that their tempura batter has no egg, so the veg tempura is vegan as well and really delicious. Not sure about the dipping sauce that comes with the tempura though, I would assume it has dashi though I didn't ask. The staff are excellent, everyone is very polite and professional. The place is pretty busy, we came around 7pm on a Friday night and waited about 20 minutes for a table of 4. I do have some notes for the restaurant, for one the tables inside are arranged sort of awkwardly so that it was quite difficult to get out of our table in order to use the restroom, and I had to ask someone in a different party to move their chair. In addition the timing of the dishes coming out is somewhat random. We ordered shrimp and veggie tempura in addition to some sushi, and even though they were appetizers both the tempura dishes came out after the sushi. In addition there was a decent gap in between the veggie and shrimp tempura, so long that we thought maybe they forgot about the shrimp but they didn't. These are just small improvements, still giving 5 stars for the quality of the food and overall service.

Tried this for dinner Friday night. Just ok. Food pretty tasty, service lacking, can't cook a…read moresteak to requested temperature, not good for a place that claims to be a Japanese Steakhouse. We were seated at our reservation time. I opted to forego the "show" ... being seated at a community table for the chef show. But clearly this is the primary focus of this restaurant. The 5-10 smaller individual 2 and 4-tops are adjacent to the bar. The place was packed, and so noisy I couldn't even hear the other person at my table. But on the flip side, it looked and sounded like the people at the community "show" tables were having a ball. Lots of birthdays and celebrations. Anyway, great menu. Started with a couple inspired cocktails, and moved on to the fish taco's and lamb chop appetizers. Outstanding. Only nit, our server disappeared, and the app plates were left on table when our main courses showed up. We were also never serviced for another round of drinks. For our mains I ordered the Wagyu filet with asparagas and fried rice sides cooked medium. My dining guest ordered the salmon roll and a side of fried rice. My steak came out gray and rare, no sear crust at all. Very disappointing. On the flip side my dining partners portion of fried rice was astoundingly large, and good. Never did see our server again until the check was brought over. We were not even offered the dessert menu other than the small pineapple sherbet that came with my meal. Parking is brutal here. Very crowded area on weekend. Had a long walk to restaurant entrance. Don't think this will be on my repeat list.

Food was delicious. Service was even better and I am totally bummed if this is true this was probably the best date I've had in forever honestly, the steak tacos on the appetizer menu were perfection sauce had a little kick sushi was delicious. My husband had a steak with some amazing fried rice. Please tell me this isn't true because Peoria needs this. Honestly, the entire West Valley needs a place like this.

Haru Sushi absolutely lived up to the hype! We were recommended this spot and were excited to try…read moreit, and it did not disappoint. The first thing that stood out was the beautiful interior design. The space feels modern, stylish, and inviting, making it perfect for a date night or even a solo dining experience. The aesthetic bar area creates a great atmosphere, and while we chose to sit inside, they also have a lovely covered patio for those who prefer outdoor seating. The food and customer service were both excellent. Portions were generous, flavors were on point, and every dish we ordered was enjoyable. We started with the Heart Attack, garlic edamame, and shrimp tempura appetizers. The garlic edamame was especially memorable--I loved the addition of sesame oil, which added so much flavor and made it stand out from the typical version. To drink, we ordered green tea and a Sapporo on draft. The Sapporo was light, crisp, and airy--definitely something I would order again. For our main dishes, we enjoyed the Sensei Roll, the Screaming "O" Roll, and a nigiri plate from the happy hour menu. Everything was delicious, but the Screaming "O" Roll was the clear highlight of the meal and a must-order in my opinion. Between the beautiful ambiance, attentive service, generous portions, and flavorful food, Haru Sushi delivered a fantastic dining experience. We'll definitely be back!

So happy to have found a legitimate place for real & fresh sushi in the West Valley!!…read more Previously I would be subject to driving out to Sushi Sen in Scottsdale for sushi/Japanese food. Haru is a nice alternative that is much closer and offers an omakase plate that rivals some of the best sushi you can find in Torrance/LA. The pricing of this omakase is steep at $70 for 8pcs of premium fish plus a toro roll but worthwhile for a special occasion or to get your fix. Pricing on their happy hour seems pretty reasonable as well which is most weekdays until 6pm. Pricing on the rest of the menu is fair but doesnt quite exceed expectations in terms of value for money, especially compared to Sushi Sen. My mom, who is an incredibly tough critic, really enjoyed the soft shell crab tempura and said it wasn't oily or greasy. I have to agree. I enjoyed their "tuna cracker" which is like spicy tuna crispy rice at most other restaurants. I've already been back a second time within the same week and will probably be back again within the month. Highly recommend!

After we were almost done eating we met May who is the owner. She is awesome. We sat and talked to her for awhile about her experience as a sushi chef and this place finally coming together. I will be back for sure.

Been to Kanuki now before a game and just for fun, parking is easy and free (register for free pn event days and/or get validation) Fresh sushi, huge bar selection and large menu book. Not liking the fake krab, Kabuki lists all thier ingredients on the menu, making it easy to navigate around the krab. Their rolls are always sized nicely, even on happy hour specials. Lots of wasabi and ginger Service is great, plates cleaned away quickly and water refilled constantly. Seating is large and varied, eat outside, booths, tables or sushi bar. Even on quiet days, this restaurant is usually busier than the others you walk past. Draft Ashai and Saporro at great prices.

We sat at the booth closest to the front door - the interior is cute, but looks cheap. The wooden tables are not high end and we were disappointed with this restaurant before we even ordered anything. We ordered miso soup to start - so salty, mushy tofu, did not finish. We ordered two rolls. Both seemed to be a decent serving size, but the pieces were rice heavy. The fish itself seemed.... fishy. Definitely did not taste like real salmon or tuna; we're from a city with fresh seafood, and I'm not surprised that this fish did not taste right. I doubt they get fresh fish flown in and likely use previously frozen items, where you can taste the difference. The wasabi obviously came out of a tube instead of fresh wasabi, another red flag. The only saving grace was their cocktail menu. Come here for drinks and skip the meal, save yourself the disappointment. Based on other reviews, some of their other menu items might make up for the poor sushi, but we will not be returning.

I love ramen - everyone's broth was amazing and the spice level was great. I was expecting when I asked for "spicy" that it wouldn't be hot enough, and I was pleasantly surprised. One person's noodles were sliiiiiiiiiightly overcooked, but mine were chewy and springy. They have good add ons - kimchi, extra meat, egg - and a cocktail menu that compliments all the food. Even bad ramen still tastes great to me so I'm probably not the most objective person, but I definitely liked this meal. It was hearty, delicious, didn't break the bank, and it was just a very nice overall experience.

The restaurant itself has a modern, elegant atmosphere that always feels clean and inviting, making it a great place to relax over a meal. Our waitress was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever being overbearing. It's hard to find a restaurant that's this consistent with both its food and service, and JINYA continues to deliver every time. We'll definitely be back, SO if you're craving ramen, this place is absolutely worth the visit!
