TLDR; If you want some good quality Korean food an excellent service, this is the place to go. We have had quite a few Korean foods, both home cooked and at restaurants around the world, because we like Korean food and that's what we grew up eating. It says a lot that we came here two days in a row (would have been 3 if we hadn't departed from PEI early on the third day). Service was amazing and attentive without overbearing or disruptive. Inside as well as the bathroom were clean. Their offering of local beer was great, and when I ordered a bigger size, they even offered a sample to make sure I'd like the beer. We had their Korean BBQ menus as well as a couple others. Kimchi pancake: This was another hit. It tasted exactly like how my grandmother used to make it, where it's flavored enough, but not seasoned to blast your taste buds with way too much flavor. Corn cheese: The flavor was on point. They used A LOT of cheese. We kinda wished there was more corn than cheese, as (this is not something we say lightly as we love cheese) there was almost too much cheese compared to the corn. But it was really tasty. KBBQ menus: We got bulbaek and samgyupsal (pork belly). This place knows how to cook meat. The bulbaek was marinated enough to give it flavor but not overwhelm you with the sweet and salty flavor that other KBBQ spots often have. Pork belly was cooked and cut to the absolute perfection. You can tell the original pork belly they cooked was thick and juicy ones that were cooked to be crispy on the outside and juicy and moist on the inside and then cut to their rectangular shape to make it really easy to eat. It's also great they give you the ssamjang sauce, because that's actually been hard to see in our experience of having KBBQ during our travels in Canada. K Fried Chicken: Now, this was a huge surprise. The chicken was cooked well where the breading outside was crispy, and the chicken inside was tender. Even though they're not a chicken restaurant, they actually managed to get the breading to stay on the chicken itself, instead of sliding off as a whole when you take a bite. This sounds trivial, but as someone who's very into Korean fried chicken and have tried many times to make it at home, this is something that's actually really hard. We tried both soy garlic and spicy sauces, and they were both good. My standard for spicy sauce is from BBQ Chicken (it's name of a chain), and compared to that (one from there tastes sort of like a tteeokkochi sauce), it was missing a bit of sweetness, but it was still really good. Overall, it all tastes like home cooking without overuse of any seasonings. We will definitely be visiting back here when we return to PEI. read more

It may the beautiful plants in the window that get you in the door or the enticing smell of fried chicken but Haru is a nice little spot for decent Korean bbq. Service is super friendly and fast, atmosphere is pretty chill, nothing too fancy and could be loud if a lot of people are there too. Overall food is good and fresh and comes out super hot! Ordered half of fried chicken with spicy sauce and bibimbap with spicy pork. Nothing was really spicy at all so don't be scared. I've had more flavourful Korean elsewhere but the food is fresh, quick, and convenient and located downtown. read more

Fried chicken is outstanding, best in the Charlottetown area. Have Ickes it up on several occasions and it's consistently good.

Haru K-BBQ is amazing. I'm a local, and we try to get there at least once a month. You could read a review posted by a tourist that picked another restaurant, but that would be the wrong choice. This place has great food that is delicious. read more
