If you walk by Haru, your first thought might be Mall Sushi. There’s nothing very remarkable at first glance.

Haru’s interior is blandly gorgeous, like if Blake Lively or Enya were a restaurant.

I have a thing against NYC sushi. It’s not as good as LA sushi and it’s often priced at Nobu levels. Ridick.

Haru is definitely not cheap but it’s really delicious. And service is super friendly. At least 15 people will say goodbye to you when you leave. An assault of kindness. A true anomaly in this city.

They offer a really tasty spicy tuna roll wrapped in cucumber, which I love not because I’m trying to ditch the carbs, but because I love cucumber.
