    Crispy Shrimp (8 Pcs), poke bowl, Salmon w avocado Roll, California Roll
    Emily C.

    Wanted to try something new in this area and was craving a poke bowl. There was a deal on my food delivery app, so I got some additional items too. The crunchy shrimp was pretty tasty, with a good number of pieces. The Cali and salmon roll were okay as well. The salmon and spicy tuna poke bowl had good portions of fish, however it was pretty saucy as other reviews have mentioned. Also, something was off about the bowl as there was a slightt crunch with every bite. That's when I realized the rice was undercooked... so I left the rest of the rice unfinished. I noticed after a few bites there was something missing and that's when I realized there wasn't an option to include a free scoop of imitation crab meat in the poke bowl which is one of my favorite parts! I will say that the delivery was fast and the food was decent. The rice should be checked next time though ...

    This Poke House offers fresh, flavorful poke bowls with vibrant ingredients and generous portions. The customizable options let you create your perfect bowl, and the service is friendly and quick. A great spot for a healthy, satisfying meal! The only thing I noticed the portions of fish a bit smaller than it used to be, but still more than enough.

    Love this place, I always come with my boyfriend and the service is always great. Shoutout to J who truly went above and beyond to give us amazing customer care today when he didn't have to! :)

    Lorenzo was amazing. I didn't know where to go because of 3 poke places within a mile but this place is amazing. Thank you so much!!!

    Shrimp Tempura Roll
    Alan K.

    This place had poke bowls, a crunchy selection, and sushi rolls for sale. I opted for the sushi rolls, although the build your own poke bowl sounded enticing. The guy serving the food behind the counter was super nice. He even brought out my sushi once it was prepared from the back of house. I ordered the spicy tuna roll and the shrimp tempura roll. Both were actually decent. It was a good place to grab a quick bite for lunch before going to back to work.

    Regular Build Your Own Bowl
    Thien-Kim B.

    It's okay. Walked here from the Glendale Galleria because it was the only poke place open in the area at the time. They are very generous on sauce, which didn't really work out because I got a half salad mix and it doesn't absorb as much sauce as rice would. Literally so much sauce that I couldn't taste the fish. They have a lot of topping options which is nice. Also the interior is decorated nicely with surf board tables.

    Small build your own bowl - Spicy Tuna & Albacore
    Scott J.

    Absolutely delicious and fresh poke spot in the heart of Glendale. Great service, super fresh ingredients, and great options. I got the small "Build Your Own Bowl," and was pleasantly surprised. I chose the spicy tuna and albacore for my protein, both were so fresh and tasty. I love that this spot lets you customize your own bowl, and also offers greens as a base (not just rice) Service was 5 stars, the gentleman that helped me was so friendly and kind, and very attentive. I'll definitely be back, this spot is awesome!

    Built our own bowls size small.

    Service was so nice. Hella welcoming. The portions are so good for the size small! great value for your money! you can pick whatever the hell you want at a set price ! I mean wow! Also the quality of the fish itself is ... sublime! I can't describe how impressed i am. Very chill location and a nice seclusion from the busy street.

    My husband and I ordered 2 bowls from here, our first time since it was late and our local "all about poke" was closing. We got regular size and small. Let me start off by saying, they fill up the bowl with 85% rice. I'm not exaggerating. The rice was prepared al dente. It didn't taste like sushi rice. The grains also appeared longer. My small bowl contained 4 chunks of salmon and a small scoop of spicy tuna. My husband's had 4 pieces of tuna 4 pieces of salmon. Their wasabi, ginger and soy sauce are also the cheapest quality available at restaurant depot. Poke is a Hawaiian dish with roots of Japanese cuisine- perhaps the owner is not familiar with the culture to know that protein in these cultures is appreciated more versus the rice.

    The fish is good but the rice was a problem. It was long grain and had an aftertaste to it. Poke bowls should have short grain sushi rice.

A dear friend and I caught up for her belated birthday at Haruka Sake And Sushi, which was once the home of one of our favorite sushi restaurants years ago in Inchiban. Neither of us could recall how long it's been since Ichiban left, but we were amazed that neither of us have tried this replacement since it opened sometime around the pandemic. We both loved to support local businesses in our old neighborhood, so we were excited to see what the new restaurant did to the place. Was it a blissful evening filled with sake, sushi, and stories, or was this place a bit far off from what we happily remembered it to be!? PURCHASE(S) Sapporo Breweries Sapporo Premium Beer 4.9% ABV 22floz Bottle ($9.00 x2): Rich amber color, malty sweet aroma, low body, light malty sweet flavor, clean smooth finish, and light malty sweet aftertaste. Always a favor with sushi! Deep Fried Shishito Peppers ($9.50): Butter sautéed shishito peppers with ponzu sauce, these slightly spicy tasty treats were fun to nibble on between sushi rolls! Sesame Chicken Karaage ($12.50): A bountiful amount of deep-fried sesame seasoned chicken pieces, this was a meal itself as I had to stop myself from feasting on these hot tender crispy nuggets! Garlic Albacore Fresh Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Albacore on top of a spicy tuna roll, accompanied by refreshing cucumber and topped with crispy onion and garlic served with a savory garlic ponzu sauce, this was an aromatic delight with plump succulent pieces of fish that melted in your mouth! Lion King Baked Cut Roll 8pc ($18.95): Baked spicy tuna on top of salmon wrapped California roll topped with smelt eggs, green onions, and unagi sauce, each flavorful packed piece was the size of shumai that almost made me snore than roar due to an onset of food coma! Hot Night Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Jalapeño, spicy tuna, sriracha on top of shrimp tempura roll, mild spicy crunch and spicy mayo on top, a beautifully-presented roll with warming spices from start to finish, I was fanning down a bit. Salmon Crazy Tempura Cut Roll 8pc ($17.95): Spicy chopped salmon on top of shrimp tempura roll, topped with spicy mayo and green onions, another beautifully-presented roll this time with buttery salmon and a light sweet tempura casing. SERVICE Warmly greeted by a young hostess, she asked if the bar was fine (which it was) and led us there where we were then met by a friendly gentleman who gave us menus and glasses of water. After a few annoyed attempts by our female server to take our order (we weren't ready), we finally got our shit together and threw it down! Within minutes, everything arrived like an assembly line with minimal space to put it all... but we managed. With plenty of leftovers, they kindly packed everything up, we paid, and off we went into the night - arigato! PARKING (FREE): They shared parking within a smallish strip mall that featured a handful of other businesses such as Handel's Homemade Ice Cream, Rice & Nori, Kobeissi Properties, and more. Otherwise, there were spots along the main drags of Foothill Blvd. and Oakwood Ave. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern open spacious layout with plenty of barstool, booth, and table seating, and a quieter small back dining room. The bar counter gave access to the chefs as you watched them prepare each creation. No promotional items at all, while the decor was minimalistic Japanese. A decent amount of natural lighting entered through the front doors and windows while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs while faint music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Haruka Sake And Sushi was a wonderful replacement for our beloved Ichiban, and we will definitely return! The food was fresh and tasted wonderful, the portions rocked, the menu was vast with plenty of options, the prices were comparable, and the service was outstanding (sorry for making the server wait for us). And, I preferred to support small mom & pop businesses (they had three total locations). I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $126.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

If you're looking for an intimate date night spot, this is definitely one I'd recommend. The music was relaxing, the lighting in the main dining room was dim and cozy, and there was another seating area off to the side that was a bit brighter for those who prefer more light. The menu is straightforward, offering all the standard sushi rolls, sashimi, and appetizers you'd expect. One thing I appreciated was the inclusion of several health-conscious "rolls" that don't contain rice, which is a nice option for anyone looking to cut back on carbs or who simply isn't a fan of rice. Ordering was a little different than most sushi restaurants. Instead of ordering directly from the server, they give you a paper menu where you either check off or write the quantity of each item you'd like. It was simple and made it easy for our group to keep track of everything we ordered. There were four of us dining together. My partner ordered the Chicken Teriyaki Bento Box, which came with miso soup, a small salad, eight pieces of a California roll, mixed tempura, rice, and the chicken teriyaki. The miso soup was served piping hot, and the salad had a light ginger dressing that paired nicely with it. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Roll, Edamame, and split the Lobster Tail Roll with my partner. Our friends ordered the Oishii Roll and the Vegas Roll. Both rolls had interesting textures, but for me, the cream cheese overpowered the salmon. As someone who loves lox on a bagel with cream cheese, I expected to enjoy it, but the combination of cream cheese, rice, and avocado overshadowed the fish. That's completely a matter of personal preference, though. I did enjoy the contrast between the crispy tempura exterior and the cool, soft center of the rolls. Now let's talk about the Lobster Tail Roll. This was on an entirely different level. I'd never had one before, and honestly, I'd come back just for this $25 roll. There wasn't any nori holding it together, and I honestly have no idea how it managed to stay intact--but somehow it did... mostly. You'll want to pop each piece into your mouth pretty quickly before it decides to fall apart. It was absolutely delicious, and adding soy sauce would almost feel like a crime. The light drizzle of eel sauce was all it needed. Service was another highlight. Everything came out quickly, and the staff worked together like a well-oiled machine. They turned tables efficiently without ever making us feel rushed, and they were always nearby to refill our drinks before we had to ask. Pricing was also very reasonable. Our group averaged about $30 per person, depending on what everyone ordered, which I thought was fair for the quality and freshness of the food. As a bonus, Handel's Homemade Ice Cream is right next door, making it the perfect place to grab dessert after dinner. One final thing I really appreciated: the food looked exactly like the photos the restaurant advertises. It's always refreshing when what arrives at your table is just as picture-perfect as what you saw online. Overall, I'd definitely come back. Whether you're looking for a casual dinner with friends or a cozy date night, Haruka Sake & Sushi delivers a relaxing atmosphere, attentive service, and quality sushi at a reasonable price. The Lobster Tail Roll alone is worth the return trip.
