Linda Sherman: Great price performance at this solid Japanese restaurant. The miso black cod bento is our favorite. Sashimi fan? Their sashimi platter won't break the bank. Never a charge for selecting brown rice.
Linda Sherman: If you have never had miso grilled black cod you must try it. I have never seen anyone not like it. Haru's bento box with miso grilled black cod and choice of sashimi or tempura is a delicious bargain
Amster: Lava Stone, Organic Eggplant Carpaccio, & Albacore Onion are delicious!

Philip Mallouk: Very friendly staff! Try the Avocado Ball appetizer. It is beautifully presented and tastes amazingly good.
Mucho Comida™: Black rice everything. Enjoy.
Danielle "Norm" Farrar: Happy hour is 5-7 and has great prices. $6 hot sake, half price rolls, special happy hour menu. Black rice was totally new to me, but I guess what they say is true... I'll never go back.
