Spaced and Sloppy
by HD56NYC
Went there for my 31st birthday the other night. Worst sushi I've had in a long while. A friend also told our server it was my bday and they did nothing. Not to mention, my rolls looked so slopped together, I barely ate it! You think someone would notice?!
Pros: Music
Cons: Spaced out staff and sloppy sushi

great Japanese
by leanna81
I moved into the same building as Haru recently and it's become my default place to order dinner from...convenient for pick-up (obs), healthy, and food's always good. Actually ate IN the restaurant for the first time last night and it was great! Lively but kind of mellow, great atmosphere (good music and sitting under the red lanterns is awesome), and our waiter was kind of hilarious. The manager recognized me from my nights picking up and actually sent a round of drinks! Sometimes I overlook the restaurants and bars closest to me as actual destination-dining and drinking places, but this one totally makesthe grade.

I can think of better places to spend my money

Don't go here unless you like getting kicked out and eating sub par food. Work in the area and went here with co-workers after work on a Tuesday evening and would NEVER go back. This new restaurant looks like it would be a great addition to FiDi but it is far from it! The worst part about this restaurant is the service/management and I highly recommend they learn how to treat customers if they want to stay in business. At 10:15, after our table spent close to $600 on dinner and drinks, the staff started playing with the lights in what would be a rude attempt to signal they were closing. At one point they turned off the lights completely for a few seconds and we were sitting in the dark. It would've been easier to just tell us it was last call! What restaurant starts closing at 10:15?! When we said something to the hostess on our way out, she actually laughed and sarcastically apologized. DON'T think this is one of those restaurants with bad service but great food. Overall, the food is mediocre and overpriced. The only positive thing about the restaurant is the decor!
Pros: Decor
Cons: Everything else

Dysfunctional Staff
by OliviaS21
Food is decent. If you're able to get beyond the service. We had a bad table towards the back and witnessed a waitress get yelled at, by a big, manly looking woman, presumably the manager. Their argument went on for a few minutes and ended with the girl crying.
It made us very uncomfortable and ruined the meal. Not to mention we were stuck waiting for the check for over 30 minutes. Certainly not my idea of a pleasant dining experience.
Pros: good sushi and salads
Cons: poor service, weird atmosphere

Great food if you can pay the price

Perfect for company events. Very professional staff and amazing food. A little slow on the food, but worth the wait.
Pros: Food
Cons: Price

Client Dinner
by Halbert8
I went to Haru on a business dinner with an important client and supplier. The service was excellent! We had a reservation and were seated promptly upon our arrival. The hostesses were extremely happy and freindly. Our waiter quickly came by and introduced himself and contrary to what most reviewers have written about Haru, he was visible and attentive to our table the entire evening. We were immediately served our drinks and our order was taken promptly. Our food was served quickly and our table was never lacking in attention from the bus boys or our waiter. As for the food, the feeling is the same. The sushi was consistent and fresh and the symphony appetizer was simply divine. The main thing to watch out for is where you sit, some tables are far to close together. However, a dinner here is most definitely one you would have for a very special occassion.
Pros: Service
Cons: Table Room

Good, consistent quality.
by luluny
I've eaten at another Haru location uptown on several occasions, so when one opened up downtown, I was excited to check it out. For lunch, I had a few rolls (which were very fresh) and sushi pieces. I was more impressed by the California rolls than I was by the O-Toro piece that I treated myself to that day... The fare is consistent-- you definitely know what you're getting. I do have to say that for a lunch place, the restaurant is dimly lit (with shades drawn). You are lunching by candelight-- which I found an odd backdrop for a potential power lunch spot.
