    Expensive? Yes. Incredible? Also yes. The sushi here was incredible. Given that it's technically in a strip mall, my expectations weren't very high but I was quickly transported and impressed. I've been to quite a few Omakase dinners that left more to be desired and this was not the case here. The dinner here was on par with some I've had in NYC. We opted to add on the premium course which I would recommend highly. The wagyu was absolutely incredible. The courses were timed well and I felt extremely satisfied. One thing to note is that they do not sell wine by the glass. You'll want to order a bottle or do the pairing. We did not do the pairing since my husband had to drive, but coming back I would definitely add that. For the premium omakase, a bottle of wine, and one additional piece of nigiri each, our dinner for two ran around $440 before tip.

    Fantastic experience at Haru. It was our first visit and we opted for the Tour 15 which was wonderful. The portions were delicious and just right. Edible art! Service was lovely too. Highly recommend.

    Omakase Haru genuinely surprised me, in the best possible way. I dined at multiple omakase spots around the world including Michelin stars and Haru was up there! Top-tier fish quality, great variety, and beautiful presentation. We sat at the counter, and the pacing was spot on with a really nice flow of courses. Every round felt intentional and well thought out. If I had one wish, it would be a brief palate reset midway, maybe a soup or something non-sushi to break things up. Minor note in an otherwise excellent experience. Outstanding meal, we'll absolutely be back. And honestly? The newly hyped omakase spot Roji in Cincinnati doesn't even stand a chance compared to omakase Haru.

    This place was amazing! I was so surprised that Columbus had a place for omakase. This was my first omakase experience. We had the regular chefs choice with sake pairing and then added the premium selection bc it had wagyu. Each roll was handcrafted carefully and was so artistic. All the fish was so tender and all the toppings for each one were so carefully chosen and went well with each pairing of sake. Our favorite sake was the yuzu one. Our server Sophia, was great and was detailed about all the rolls. She answered all the questions we had (we had a lot). I definitely want to be served hy Sophia every time we go. See you soon!

    Haru is incredible! The best sushi in Columbus. Chef Udi is also so kind & humble, we love talking to him! It is a set menu but everything we've tried there is incredible and high quality, you really can't go wrong if you love sushi. The matcha creme brûlée is to die for--I thought about it for days afterwards The only thing I didn't love is the crepe cake because it was a bit dry. Also. if you want to sit at the counter, you will need to make a reservation in advanced as it does get booked up quickly! Overall, a great gem to have in Columbus!

    All I can say is WOW! We had reservations for this place for several weeks now and it was so worth the wait! This was the best sushi I've had in a long time. We sat at the bar and watched the magic happen and learned from the chef about the restaurant's origin story and how the fish is obtained. My favorite bites of the night were the ama ebi (sweet shrimp), Masunosuke (king salmon), and jo uni (sea urchin). I don't think I would have ever ordered some of the other sushi had I ordered a la carte, so I was happy Haru gave me the opportunity to enjoy such a wonderful meal!

    After several attempts we've finally tried. Reservations thru Open table. Ambience is warm and cozy. Approx only 8 people can sit in front of the chef, which is an additional $10/ person. We didn't really mind that. Theres ample table even for groups of 4-6. We opted for the "Premium Tour", which was "The Tour (9 pcs for $89/person) " but for an additional 3 pcs more of nigiri for $130/person. A total of 12 pieces of Nigiri in all. Out of that 12 pcs we only really liked 4 of them which was the yellowtail, ama ebi, eel handroll and wagyu. The rest like king salmon, bluefin tuna, grunt, toro were just okay. It wasn't a wow moment. We didn't choose the sake pairing which is an additional $55/person. You are better off getting a bottle of wine or sake. We tried the Japanese white wine for $45 a bottle which was lovely. Service was okay, a little slow. Overall experience was okay. We were told they change menu every 6 weeks. Would we come back? Probably not. One experience is good enough. Tip: Don't come hungry. Even with Premium Tour it wasn't totally filling.

    We really enjoyed our first visit to Haru. I've realized that I prefer modern fusion omakase over the more "traditional" style, and Haru delivered on that preference. The fish was incredibly fresh, and we enjoyed every dish--even the mackerel, which I usually don't like. The experience was on par with similar ones I've had in bigger cities, and I found the pricing reasonable. The interior is thoughtfully designed, with lighting near the chefs that wasn't too bright. We were promptly seated at the omakase counter, and the servers were friendly and thorough in explaining the courses and pairings. It was a nice touch to chat with the sushi chefs about each dish. They mentioned that the menu changes seasonally, roughly every 4-6 weeks (if I recall correctly). Reservations are essential, as they're typically booked about a month in advance. Be sure to reserve on OpenTable, where you can view availability for counter seating and provide a credit card to hold your spot.

    From the melt-in-your-mouth salmon and fresh buttery uni to the perfectly balanced sake pairings, every bite is thoughtfully curated. The service is attentive and elevates the experience without feeling overbearing. Our server Carrie was fantastic. For a refined and unforgettable dining adventure in Columbus, Haru Omakase is not to be missed.

    The first omakase experience in Columbus has finally opened! If you do not know, omakase means "up to you" and is really much a chef curated menu. Here, you get 10 pieces + dessert for $89 which is a pretty good deal. "But fish in the Midwest?" You might ask. The fishes are actually really fresh and I love how creative they are. This is no traditional sushi but they add a certain modern spin to it resulting in very well balanced pieces. This might not be the best sushi I've ever had in my life but it is definitely one of the best you can get in Columbus! Definitely swing by sometime!

    Located on Polaris Parkway, Haru Omakase serves up amazing Omekase, (a chef-curated dinner, famous for its direct interactions with the chef). The customer leaves the order details to the sushi chef. The word Omakase is Japanese and translates to "I'll leave it up to you".  The service was top notch; the sushi was unique, delicious and presented so beautifully. This is definitely an experience I would highly recommend. I also recommend asking about the wine or sake pairings, make reservations, and ask to sit at the Omakase bar, you'll thank me later. The menu tours start at $79 for an incredible multi-course meal and will have you wanting to come back again. I asked how often the menu would change and was told it would be updated appropriately every six weeks. I can't wait to see how this menu develops over time. Don't forget to tell them: recommended by @ohiofoodie614 on IG.

    Came here over the weekend to try out their omakase! I've always had omakase when I travel to NYC, I would say the prices for this is higher than the ones in NYC. It's $79 for 1 aappetizer, 8 sushi and 1 dessert. Sushi by bou has 12 course for $65 plus occasional coupons too. Sushi wise, my favorite would be the first course. The squid bowl is on point! Portion size is alright, the curry one would probably be one of the better one on their course. Their sushi does taste alittle too fishy. it would have been nicer if that had more dessert option. Maybe a second dessert available for people who doesnt like Creme Brule.. I personally like thirteen waters most! But NYC is quite a far drive...

    Wow wow wow! This was my second time. My husband's first time. We went with another couple on New Year's Eve. This did not disappoint. The food is absolutely amazing. I did miss not getting to have barracuda or eel like, I had on my first visit. But thats is the thing about this restaurant, they change up their menu and everything they make is spectacular. Two had the sake pairings and two had the wine pairings and we shared and mixed and matched, and everything was on point. This is not just a dinner...this is a dining experience. I can't wait to go back!

    Chateau Wine and Spirits to the rescue! But for real. It was Thanksgiving afternoon and my family…read moresuddenly had a craving for a cocktail. Unfortunately, we didn't have any of the ingredients needed to make it fun, if you know what I mean. We searched Yelp and found this spot rather close by. We decided to give it a try and were stoked to find that they were open... and busy at that. They had a great inventory of wine, liquor, beer, etc. and had exactly what we needed, prosecco, schnapps, vodka and fruit puree. I'll also add that despite how busy they were, the staff was great. They helped us find what we were looking for while we wandering around aimlessly trying to find the goods. Prices were right on money, too. I don't live in the area, but my sister does, and I have no doubt we'll be back when need be. #grateful

    I went here because their reviews were very high. I am guessing they do a good job with allocated…read morestuff because I wasn't overly impressed. They have a good selection of stuff (I am a bourbon and cocktail person) but nothing amazing. What really frustrated me was around payment. They charge a fee if you use a card: their prices are the same as other stores who do not charge a fee to use a card. Anyways, I used a debit card and found out, after, I was charged a fee. They did offer to refund my charge and I could pay with cash but I did not have enough cash on me. In my experience, this is the ONLY store I have EVER been charged a fee for using a debit card or credit card. It just feels greedy.
