Context: I originally went to Crazy rock n sushi, i paid for parking and once i walked inside was told they actually close at 9:30pm not 10pm. I was a little sad at first as i really wanted sushi for takeout and had already paid for parking. I started walking around and found Cavi sushi. I walked inside and asked if they were open. Funny enough they also closed at 10pm but they do honor their actual hours of operation. I asked if they had a Tiger roll i could order to go, they said they dont but could just make one for me! Ive worked in the food service industry and always say a big part of how great a place is, heavily lies on how well the staff treat customers when its near closing time.

Started off with the Matcha IPA beer (green deliciousness, a bit strong on the hop + matcha so beware), and ordered a few appetizers to start--edamame, karaage, seared albacore with onions, yellowtail jalapeño, ceviche (omg so good), shishito peppers--everything was amazing! And we were off to a great start. We ordered a few rolls, and sushi, and hadn't realized that each portion came with 2 pieces so we definitely ate a lot. Everything was very fresh, and the quality was amazing. As if it couldn't be better, the service was superb! The owners came to check on us multiple times, ensuring everything was according to our liking and nothing was amiss. Can't believe it was my first time here! Will definitely be back for my sushi cravings!!

Was at the Americana the other night and feeling like sushi, so decided to walk across the street…read moreand try out Seabutter. Started out with the beef gyozo, scallop with uni and wagyu with uni. The gyozos were your basic gyozos, you know what you're going to get with them. The scallop with uni was decent, feel it lacked a missing flavor profile that was needed. The wagyu with uni, on the other hand, was really tasty. We also got the salmon collar, which was pretty big in size, and had a decent amount of meat on it. But it was your standard salmon. For rolls, we got the Mr. Crab and Miss. Crab. The Miss Crab has blue crab and avocado topped with seared scallop, masago, kewpie mayo, sesame seeds. It was decent but really felt like something was missing with it. The Mr. Crab has crab mix, shrimp tempura & baked freshwater lobster in soy paper topped with eel sauce. This was more flavorful and would be the one I recommend among the two. Overall, decent sushi spot that didn't necessarily stand out amongst the items we ordered. I would recommend the Mr. Crab and A5 wagyu with uni, but you can skip on the other items.

This spot is truly an absolute gem. We were warmly welcomed by the host and seated right away at the bar. The chef greeted us personally, and although there was a bit of a language barrier, he was incredibly sweet and patient while explaining each course and where the fish was sourced from. You could really tell how much care and pride went into every piece. Everything tasted so fresh and beautifully prepared. Each course flowed perfectly into the next, and by the end of the meal, we were surprisingly very full (which doesn't always happen with omakase!). To top it all off, we were treated to a homemade matcha cake with a candle, which was such a thoughtful and memorable birthday touch. It wasn't too busy during our visit, which we actually loved because it made the entire experience feel more intimate, just like other omakase experiences we've had. Highly recommend this place for celebrating special occasions, anniversaries, or birthdays. We'll definitely be back.

The staff were attentive and friendly, and the food itself tasted amazing. Prices are slightly on the higher side, but considering its location inside the Americana, it's quite reasonable. The restrooms were also spotless, well-maintained, and very high-end. However, there was one major issue that really bothered me. What appeared to be the head sushi chef--a man wearing a baseball cap and glasses--was constantly checking his smartphone and texting while preparing hand rolls. While urgent personal matters happen, he continued handling and making sushi immediately after using his phone without washing or sanitizing his hands. It felt unhygienic and showed a serious lack of basic food safety awareness. If not for that, this would have been an easy 5-star experience. Because of that hygiene lapse, I'm giving it 4 stars, and I'm honestly on the fence about whether I would return.

The restaurant has bar seating all around, so I wouldn't necessarily recommend coming with a larger group.

As soon as you place your order, the food starts coming out within just a few minutes. One small thing I do miss is the original menu design. They've since changed the look, and I preferred the previous version because the descriptions were more helpful when deciding what to order.

We were seated promptly by the friendly host and our effusive, upbeat waitress took our order. I got the Garlic Albacore roll ($20), which was a unique, exceptional dish - delicate albacore on top of spicy tuna, a sour lemon (ponzu) sauce with rich garlic, and crispy onion and garlic on top. Somehow, this roll captured all the flavors - savory, sour, crispy, and sweetness all in one go. Unique and exceptional. The rest of my family got the Tonkotsu Ramen, Salmon Bento Box, and Alaskan rolls, all which were excellent. A special word must be made for the staff. We were seated promptly, our kids' orders taken first so they could start eating earlier, we were promptly offered a free switch to a different bowl of Ramen when, on delivery, we were informed it may be somewhat spicy (which we didn't employ - it was perfect!), and all food came out within 10-15 minutes. The inside is unassuming and spartan, as is common for sushi joints, and prices are quite reasonable. Bonus points for being right next to Handel's ice cream (another 5* review in my catalog) for a perfect, easy dessert and great outdoor vibes. While sushi tends to be fairly uniform across restaurants, Haruka deserves special celebration for several unique, impeccable rolls and exceptional service.

A dear friend and I caught up for her belated birthday at Haruka Sake And Sushi, which was once the home of one of our favorite sushi restaurants years ago in Inchiban. Neither of us could recall how long it's been since Ichiban left, but we were amazed that neither of us have tried this replacement since it opened sometime around the pandemic. We both loved to support local businesses in our old neighborhood, so we were excited to see what the new restaurant did to the place. Was it a blissful evening filled with sake, sushi, and stories, or was this place a bit far off from what we happily remembered it to be!? PURCHASE(S) Sapporo Breweries Sapporo Premium Beer 4.9% ABV 22floz Bottle ($9.00 x2): Rich amber color, malty sweet aroma, low body, light malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and light malty sweet aftertaste. Always a favor with sushi! Deep Fried Shishito Peppers ($9.50): Butter sautéed shishito peppers with ponzu sauce, these slightly spicy tasty treats were fun to nibble on between sushi rolls! Sesame Chicken Karaage ($12.50): A bountiful amount of deep-fried sesame seasoned chicken pieces, this was a meal itself as I had to stop myself from feasting on these hot tender crispy nuggets! Garlic Albacore Fresh Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Albacore on top of a spicy tuna roll, accompanied by refreshing cucumber and topped with crispy onion and garlic served with a savory garlic ponzu sauce, this was an aromatic delight with plump succulent pieces of fish that melted in your mouth! Lion King Baked Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Baked spicy tuna on top of salmon wrapped California roll topped with smelt eggs, green onions, and unagi sauce, each flavorful packed piece was the size of shumai that almost made me snore than roar due to an onset of food coma! Hot Night Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Jalapeño, spicy tuna, sriracha on top of shrimp tempura roll, mild spicy crunch and spicy mayo on top, a beautifully-presented roll with warming spices from start to finish, I was fanning down a bit. Salmon Crazy Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Spicy chopped salmon on top of shrimp tempura roll, topped with spicy mayo and green onions, another beautifully-presented roll this time with buttery salmon and a light sweet tempura casing. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a young hostess, she asked if the bar was fine (which it was) and led us there where we were then met by a friendly gentleman who gave us menus and glasses of water. After a few annoyed attempts by our female server to take our order (we weren't ready), we finally got our shit together and threw it down! Within minutes, everything arrived like an assembly line with minimal space to put it all... but we managed. With plenty of leftovers, they kindly packed everything up, we paid, and off we went into the night - arigato! PARKING (FREE): They shared parking within a smallish strip mall that featured a handful of other businesses such as Handel's Homemade Ice Cream, Rice & Nori, Kobeissi Properties, and more. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drags of Foothill Blvd. and Oakwood Ave. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern open spacious layout with plenty of barstool, booth, and table seating, and a quieter small back dining room. The bar counter gave access to the chefs as you watched them prepare each creation. No promotional items at all, while the decor was minimalistic Japanese. A decent amount of natural lighting entered through the front doors and windows while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while faint music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Haruka Sake And Sushi was a wonderful replacement for our beloved Ichiban, and we will definitely return! The food was fresh and tasted wonderful, the portions rocked, the menu was vast with plenty of options, the prices were comparable, and the service was outstanding (sorry for making the server wait for us). And, I preferred to support small mom & pop businesses (they had three total locations). I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $126.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS
