Haru Sushi & Grill is located in McKenzie Towne Avenue SE of Calgary.
After a long day of skiing, Spence didn't feel like going out and I was too tired to cook anything. Spence was craving sushi and I didn't mind the idea either, we just wanted to find a place close by. Spence's friend suggested Haru Sushi so we looked up the menu online. They offered take out with a big selection of menu items.
As some of you know, we are very keen of Sakana Grill, and we found Haru Sushi to be very similar but with each of their own twists. We ordered what we would usually order at Sakana Grill. Dynamite rolls, Philadelphia rolls, Spicy tuna rolls, Tuna & Salmon sashimi, & miso soup.
They told us to pick up our order around a half hour, and when we arrived it was all ready to go. The lady at the front was welcoming with a big smile. I also got a quick glance of what the dining area looked like and its very nice, dimmed lights with modern décor. The preparation area is open, right at the front and center of the dining area, pretty neat to be able to see your meal get prepared.
Unpacking the containers, we found the food to be neatly packed. They made sure presentation was there with garnishes of parsley, lettuce and oranges. Finally, we dug into our food. Spence really enjoyed the regular miso soup and wish he had gotten another one. I enjoyed all the rolls, especially the Philadelphia rolls which was Cream cheese, pineapple wrapped with smoked salmon & mango. I really enjoyed the pineapple inside, it's a little surprise...sweet and savory all in one bite!! The sashimi was also good, seemed pretty fresh!! All the stuff we ordered looked like it wouldn't fill us but it sure did!!
I would definitely recommend Haru Sushi if you live deep down south or if you're in the area!! Next time, we're definitely going to try the dine in experience!! -
Review from Linda C.
This place opened 4 months ago by the same owner as Haru Sushi in Springbank and Ajisai in Cranston & Panorama but this was my first experience with any of his restaurants. Walking up to the building and not knowing what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised by the clean, modern decor inside (and having lived in LA where there are lots of Korean owned sushi restaurants, I quickly recognized this as such).
Lots of staff with great service. Came here for lunch and ordered spicy tuna sashimi app ($3.95), Agedashi tofu ($4.95), and a spicy salmon roll ($6.95). What I had was all very yummm. I was sooo stuffed :)
I do have to say that I found it just a tad pricey (esp since not all of their lunch specials come with miso soup (or salad?)...so I opted to order from the menu instead of the lunch special. I DO expect lunch combos to come with miso soup & salad.
Will Definitely come back for dinner sometime if I'm in the area. -

Love Sushi? Love a business owner who focuses on you and delivers an 'above average' experience?
Haru Sushi is it.
The sushi tastes great! The decor is fantastic! The staff are great & attentive!
If you like sushi, you'll like Haru. They have a terrific menu and wether you're dining in or ordering take-out, you won't be disappointed.
We've had take-out three or four times now and tonight (Saturday) we decided to dine in. Loved it.
We've pretty much eating everything on the sushi menu - their Philadelphia roll is rather unique and tasty with cream cheese and mango being two of the ingredients.
For desert - green tea ice cream. First time eating this stuff - I'll be or ding THAT again!
If you should happen to dine in at Haru, be sure to say hi to the owner, Shane, he's likely the one finding you a seat and smiling kindly and making sure you're enjoying yourself. -

There are so many sushi restaurants these days that it's hard to set yourself apart from the rest. Haru Sushi was pretty good, but overall it doesn't stand out for me... except for the Nacho Cheese Roll. I want to give it a 3.5 instead of a 4.
I'll give two thumbs up for the salmon nigiri. This place uses very good fish for their sushi. It was was a very memorable salmon nigiri experience. Mmmmm. So tender and yummy. But for some reason, my date and I thought it was a good idea to order the Nacho Cheese Roll. Let me tell you, there's a reason why cheese is never paired with rice or fish... or seaweed. Otherwise everything else was pretty good.
The price was on par with everywhere else, the quality of the fish was pretty good, the service was decent. I would definitely recommend this place for people who live in the area and are looking for a Japanese restaurant. However, I don't think I would go out of my way to eat there since there are equally good places that are closer to me. -

Got takeout from here today for lunch and was I ever impressed, as was my husband when he got the leftovers for supper and he's not a real sushi lover. In any event, it really was fresh and delicious.
I had a Golden California Roll and WOW, was it ever tasty! Also had the Dynamite Roll, and a couple of other rolls and all were so very good. Tried the gyoza and enjoyed those very much. In fact, I felt I should leave a couple for my husband but truthfully, I had a bit of a conflict with my conscience as I really wanted to eat them all! I ordered $34 worth and with the leftovers for tomorrow, that amount was enough for four people I'm sure.
And, by the way, the restaurant smells fresh, fresh, fresh. No fishy smell. Love that! -

I had a great experience here! I went on a Friday night at about 5:30. I got seated immediately, with great service throughout. They have one of the biggest appetizer menus that I have ever seen for a sushi place! We tried a couple and loved it! The plating was very nice and the food tasted great! Tried the udon and a few more sushi rolls and thought it was brilliant. The sashimi was thick and fresh. Dessert was tasty. The price was average for any sushi place. I would definitely go again! I hope they keep this up and not skimp on their food or service when they get busier!

Haru has been open for about 2 weeks now. My wife and I are big sushi fans, with our fav being Shikiji. They have a long list of Appetizers. We started with the Spicy Tuna Sashimi and Gyoza. We really enjoyed both. There were also a few Appetizers that we would like to try in the future. We ordered 4 different sushi rolls, Spicy Tuna, Rainbow Roll, Dynamite Roll and Aburi Tuna Roll. They have a type of balsamic sauce that is used on the side of the Rainbow Roll, we both agreed the roll would have been better with out. The only other note was that the avocado was not ripe. It was actually a little tough in the roll, that was the first time I have encountered that. Overall, we enjoyed it and will try it again. They are newly opened and may be encountering typical opening jitters. I also found the price to be very fair with the bill coming to aprox $55.
