Haru Sushi

Came in last night to actually try this place out since I had more people than myself this time and we were sat at a table against the wall. Our server was a nice young man who did a fine job serving. We ordered the salmon poki to start, which came out relatively fast compared to the rest of the meal. One person’s White Bear Roll came out first, my Tempura Udon came out 20 minutes later, and another’s Shrimp Tempura dinner came out another 10 minutes after that. So we all ate at different times and finished a lot later than normal. The server apologized, which wasn’t his fault, but when he drops off the check he asks if it was good and worth the wait. I said it was good. I did not say but not worth the wait, which is what I was thinking. I didn’t want to crush his spirit. Won’t come again.

I really like Haru. I like the selection of baked sushi rolls on the menu. My husband — not a sushi fan– even ate and enjoyed my «fish and chip» roll. He usually gets the chicken Yakisoba which is also yummy. The service is usually speedy and good. We had an issue with the check and included tip with a large party one time but have generally had all-​around good experiences. When I’m craving sushi, I will pick Haru over other sushi places in the Dimond/​South area.

Best in town, in my opinion, I love Haru. I’ve never had a bad meal there and continue to go back.

The WORST meal ever. Coconut shrimp were 8 frozen microwaved dry flat pieces of cardboard served with a saucer of coconut «sauce»…all for a mere $ 16.95
Our order was delivered sporadically and one meal was served 15 minutes after the first had been delivered
Oh, and their gyoza appetizer was 6 Costco potstickers microwaved and they charged $ 8.95 for this creation.
Expensive crap served by a careless staff. Be warned !

My family and I went here tonight and our experience was truly awful. When it came time to pay, our bill was $ 203, which was expected. My whole family gave me cash which I counted twice before placing it on the tray. I then placed my credit card on the tray with the cash to cover the remaining amount. The total amount of cash was $ 140 which should have left a balance of $ 63 on my card. An older woman who was not our waitress picked up the tray and brought it up to the front. When she returned my credit card slip said it was charged for $ 103. I immediately grabbed my waitress and explained how much cash we gave them and she brought over an older gentleman who said he was the owner. He argued with us that he doesn’t lie, and that we only have him $ 100. This was obviously frustrating because there were 3 people at our table that gave me cash and we know exactly how much they gave me (it was all in 20’s). They obviously made a mistake and should have handled it, and if they had, I would likely return to this establishment. However, there are far better sushi places in town with great customer service that my family and I will go to from now on, I will not only not recommend this restaurant to anybody, but I will also tell everyone I can about their horrible customer service and their inability to count money

Solid food as I went with two specialty rolls. Definitely would return and most likely would try the poke roll Free miso and beans with the order was a nice touch.

Seriously the best sushi in anchorage! I could go here everyday and never get sick of it, and the staff is overwhelmingly friendly. They will adjust the rolls to your liking and give edamame with all drinks, don’t forget the green tea ice cream!

Very decent sushi joint. Menu was long but not too cumbersome and the dishes that came out were good. Sake served by the bottle was good and the waitress was very kind. Nothing crazy impressive but nothing to avoid going here.

Kalbi is excellent but the best thing about this place is the sushi!!! Lots of options to choose from but the Bön Jovi roll is outta this world.

Sushi Dinner with family. Ordered 5 rolls. All of them were really good. Fast and friendly service for a busy Sunday night.
Women’s bathroom was disgusting… Needed to be clean.

Great clean and friendly place, food is always fresh and delicious. My family has been coming here for a long time and we’ve never been disappointed!

Was in Alaska and we ate at this places it was hands down amazing and the service. The food was tasty!!!

I must be biased towards sushi or they all really have good food! I give almost all sushi places in ANC 4 stars. The food is always superb, the interior is always clean, nice and modern and the staff is usually great! This place is no exception. Of course, like many restaus in ANC, the outside can be deceiving but it’s had a nice atmosphere inside. We got a couple of rolls and they Gyoza app. It was all good and came out within 15 min. There are handful of bad sushi spots in town, they’re all good, but I haven’t found the ultimate best so far :)

This was my first time here. I have never eaten Japanese food, but the rest of my party wanted to have sushi and I was assured there were cooked items on the menu. I am so glad we made this choice. The restaurant was beautiful and clean and the dishes I tried were delicious! I have expanded my food horizons!

Great customer service, super busy place. Love their green tea and appetizers. Sushi rolls and eel made at perfection.

I was scared to try this place based on other reviews. Well, I was glad I gave it a try.
The server we had was really nice. I ordered a plum wine and I actually didn’t like it. I told the server, and she took care of me and made it right for me. Went with a Blue Moon, can never go wrong with that.
I ordered the avocado roll (I’m not a sushi fan), and I really liked it. It was filled with avocado! For dessert, we ordered the fried Oreo. Now, that was delicious.

The food was great. But the service is bad. I go to the restaurants for the experience and unfortunately my experience in haru sushi. is not as great as other restaurants. The food took 45 mins before it arrived, I know they’re busy and what not but they served my boyfriend’s food 20 mins earlier than mine so he ended up asking the server to heat it back up cuz he doesn’t want to eat it while I’m waiting for mine, so yeah. She heated the whole thing in the Microwave for 30 secs that made the coconut taste like grease because of the direct heat. And it also made the cherries hot, who freaking serves hot cherries for dinner… Plus the server just keep jumping from one table to another, she didn’t even asked us if we wanted DRINKS! Like seriously? –_​– you think I cannot afford to buy myself a drink? And then my boyfriend was still talkin to the server then she just suddenly left, rude.
Other than that. I like the food, the ambiance is great. How I just wish they have better servers you know.
I wAs always curious about the place, and now I am not coming back ever.
1.5 stars for the consideration of the good food.

I’m going to be very honest. I got food poisoning from here.
The first time I was here, the food was good and I had no problems what so ever.
My second time here which will be my last time, We didn’t get good service. Our sever seem in a rush but there was only two customers in the restaurant at the time.
My sushi dish was one of the chefs specialities. It looked and sounds delicious on the menu but It made me very sick within a few hours of consuming it. I could go into details but it would just be disturbing.
Overall, beware what you eat here!

I’ve been to Haru Sushi twice so far. Anchorage has not impressed me with the sushi restaurant selections. I’ve been to 5 other highly recommended places and this place is leagues above the rest. Clean, nice décor, fast attentive service, and outstanding food. Every time I’ve put something in my mouth there, I’ve been surprised and delighted. They have unique and inventive rolls with fresh ingredients and flavors that work fantastically together. Oh, now I’m hungry again!

Pretty decent joint. It’s a Korean ran sushi spot so you’ll find a few Korean items on the menu such at kalbi and kimchi. I tried the nabe udon here over the weekend. Pretty good! Came with quite a bit of seafood and an egg. The broth was taste and the noodles were cooked just right. I also tried the jalapeño poppers appetizer. The flavors in it was amazing. But then again, it might be because i’m a fan of spicy mayo and it was dressed in hella spicy mayo.
Service was friendly and quick. The waitress was really attentive and made sure we were taken care of. I’ll definitely have to come back to try their sushi next time!
