“Sushi and sashimi are top grade and any happy hour where you can get Hitachino white ale for $4.50 bottle is cool with me.”
“Although it is just off of Times Square the mood here is relaxed and soothing unlike the frenzy that is Times Square.”
“Super fresh sashimi tastes awesome and I'd say it is one of the best Japanese places in the city.”

I always love the sushi here, it's not a fancy restaurant or anything but it's always delicious. I like the tuna tataki, the spider roll, the strawberry roll and the sashimi is definitely fresh. The tuna and salmon are really delicious and taste amazing.
The restaurant itself is very corporate like, but for the area what do I expect? Times Square.
They have great drinks and bartenders. I didn't have a cocktail this last time but I have in the past and the margaritas both the jalapeño and the pomegranate one were delicious. The jalapeño one is not too spicy but definitely had a kick to it.
The red bean and green tea ice cream is awesome. Very flavorful and fresh! We finished the entire thing. I will be back when I am in the area and looking for some sushi and green tea ice cream!
Service was great, ambiance was really nice, and the restaurant is convenient for the theater district. My husband and I are vegan and it's really slim pickins here. The miso soup is in fish broth, the spring rolls and dumplings are sealed with an egg wash, and the agedashi tofu and veggie tempura are fried in the same oil as all the fish/meat products. So… we had the grilled shishito peppers, edamame, and shared the vegetarian platter = $38. We left hungry and went to Maoz a block away. We won't be coming back.
We were in NYC to see a few shows and Haru had been recommended to us. This location was very conveniently located for us, both near the hotel and the shows. Although it is just off of Times Square the mood here is relaxed and soothing unlike the frenzy that is Times Square.
We were in NYC for three days and I had my favorite dish of the trip here – King Crab Dumplings. Never had any dumpling like this before. The steamed dumpling was packed full of delicious sweet king crab and served with a nice sweet/salty sauce. I can't say enough how much I loved this dish. We also shared some lobster goyza which were also very nice. For my meal I had some California rolls – disappointing because of they used imitation crab And I also had a Phoenix roll which was outstanding. We had some extra time before the show so all had a dish of the green tea ice cream – very yummy and a sweet ending to a most enjoyable meal.
I've been to Haru multiple times due to its vicinity to my office at Times Square. They fill up quickly during lunch hours so I always make an Opentable reservation. Their food is consistently good, whether you're going for the bento box or specialty roll. Personal favorite is the shrimp summer roll (appetizer).
Got the delivery order from this place and thought it was actually pretty good! Had three sushi pieces – tuna, shrimp and sea urchin, as well as a small agedashi tofu app. My only complain is that the shrimp sushi was slightly dry…Full credit for the sea urchin, really fatty/creamy and carried a bit of sweetness.
Nicely done and fast delivery speed! I wish I knew this place earlier!
Came here to use the $20 birthday coupon with the fiancé and we were both very disappointed
Although the restaurant was very beautiful and clean, the place is so loud. Tables are extremely close together and I can hear conversations from both of my neighbors.
The lunch specials were all so pricy. It was more like dinner entree prices.
I followed a Yelp tip and ordered the lemongrass soup. I did like the spices in the soup and it had a great flavor. Unfortunately, that's the only highlight of my meal.
My bento box came about 20 minutes later and it was pretty much cold. Although the portion was big, the flavors were way off. My teriyaki salmon was more like salted salmon and it had really undercooked skins.
My fiancé hated his eel entree because the eel was rubbery. He could barely chew it. The entree was also smaller for its price
Service was fine but nothing exceptional.
We will not be coming back
I'm genuinely surprised that this place only has a 3.5 star rating! My office is around the corner so we order from here frequently. The sushi is always delicious and fresh and they have some really unique rolls– love the one with gold flakes! We have dined in at the restaurant as well, and with a large party of 8 we were given a table in a special section of the restaurant that was quieter and had 2 other big tables for larger parties. While dining in, the service was quick and friendly. Haru is the only good sushi option in the Times Square area, in my opinion!
Recommended by my friend. Went for lunch with a coworker on a weekday, reasonable price with may lunch specials. Very nice atmosphere, offers a full bar and an authentic Japanese cuisine.
The service was great. My friend is a vegetarian and they were able to switch the sides and her rolls to accommodates her meal. When her lunch came up with crab rolls, the waitress quickly came over and sent it back to the kitchen with us having to call her.
I had the tofu steak lunch box. It was a lot! I love the tempura! Hot and crunchy and not oily. The crab rolls were good, as well as the tofu. I was very satisfied!
Exceed expectation. Highly recommend!
