Haru Sushi Bar is located at McKenzie Towne Ave SE Calgary, which is 10 minutes away from my home. 2017. 12.01. After the Christmas Concert, my boyfriend took me to Haru Sushi Bar for dinner. It was our first time, came to this restaurant. Before we came here, we did research online. I found that Haru Sushi has a great rating on both Google and Zomato review. In this way, my boyfriend decided to take me here for dinner.
We arrived the restaurant around 7:30 pm, which was right at the dinner time. The restaurant was full and busy. Luckily, we still found a table. After we sat down, the server brought the menu and drinks our table. The menu looks very fancy and has pictures on it, which is more convenience for us. The prices of food are a little bit expensive. We had CALAMARI, TERIYAKI BEEF, and Two special sushi rolls to share. The food came out fast and fresh. The Calamari was very fresh and soft different from what we thought. But, the taste of it was so salty. Beef Teriyaki was grill beef and mixed vegetable which is different from what we ate before too, but the taste was great. Two special rolls were tasted decent. Nothing excited comparing with special sushi rolls in any of sushi restaurants in Vancouver. We were a little bit disappointed with our meal. The server was very nice and friendly. The environment was clean and peaceful. In summary, it was a new experience having sushi in Calgary.
Food is always amazing & tea is hot and service is always fast and with a smile !!
Soups are piping hot and taste amazing,
Always a place to enjoy 😊
Haru is my go-to sushi spot in the SE. Many evenings of takeout or a quick roll have been had. The sushi is consistently well-executed. Tonight, as had salmon Sashimi (three thick pieces), avocado tempura (hot so you know it was freshly fried), salmon-avocado roll, dynamite roll and spicy salmon crunch roll. These are some of my favourite rolls. The dynamite has avocado in it, and the tempura shrimp is they use is fresh, not stale like I have sensed at other places. The spicy salmon crunch has a cereal texture crunch to it with fried bits inside and dollops of spicy mayo on the top. If you are looking for a place to eat good quality sushi in the south, this is your best bet. My other favourite spot is Oishi if you are seeking AYCE.
Very fast service and the staff were friendly.
Drinks came as soon as we sat down and they gave us enough time to figure out what we wanted to order. Repeated our order back to us (which is always nice) and food came quickly.
Cheese tempura was good (never seen it before) kind of like the Japanese version of mozzarella sticks. Cheese was gooey and batter was sweet and crunchy.
Golden spicy tuna roll was tasty. Was covered in tempura batter so added a nice crunch. Sauce was flavourful.
Beef tataki was good. Very thinly sliced with green onions and sauce on top.
Nice that it's so close to us. Can see myself coming back for more since they have so many menu options.
***still fast....ok for quick lunch. Their lunch combos have a lot of california roll. Rainbow roll is a california roll topped with shrimp, salmon and tuna with lovely golden and orange topiko....friendly service****fast and fresh. We enjoyed the smaller rolls. . Avocado and dynamite rolls. Assorted tempura was kinda greasy but tasty. We enoyed the rainbow roll. I wish they leave the tea pot on the table. I asked if they only had one teapot and I think she said yes. Lol. Tables r a bit narrow. Bathrooms are clean. I did get my tea refilled frequently.
I've been eating at the same sushi place a lot lately and decided to have a bit of a change. This place is awesome. Tried some different sushi rolls and a few different appetizers. Only thing I wasn't fond of was the tempura avocado. I thought prices were reasonable and it's a great place. Lots of space but filled up really quickly when we got there (right at 5pm).
Haru in McKenzie is the restaurant's second location, and I have to say that I have been pretty impressed by the consistency across the three different storefronts (Springborough, Mckenzie, Keynote). Once again, the service was fantastic, I found the prices fair, and left feeling satisfied with a belly full of sushi! For a longer review, check out my thoughts on the Keynote location!
Staff are friendly, and food always comes out quickly. Rolls here are quite good, but the sashimi is even better. I come quite often and the only bad thing I've had was the spider roll, as the softshell crab was too chewy. Would recommend the tempura and stampede rolls.
Been here during lunch hours and their service is fast..Its quite busy but you'll always end up getting a table cos its a decent size restaurant. I have no particular favorite at this restaurant as all their sushis are prepared well, fresh and delicious. Definitely one of my favorite restaurants for sushi in Calgary.
Haru is so consistent. The sushi is always so fresh! Such a great price too....
And eating in is also a nice experience- the staff is always efficient and friendly.
