    Hot Havana, wagyu roll, and others
    Anh P.

    A quality experience with food and with service. Fish was melt in your mouth and had a great taste. Very cute ambiance. Would consider coming back. Downtown parking is a pain even during lunch on a weekday, so plan early to get to your reservation on time. They accepted walk in for lunch though.

    Mango roll
    Kristina H.

    First time here and I was not disappointed. All of the staff were friendly and helped each other run food and refill waters, which isn't something you see much of these days. We were there at around 5pm and it wasn't too busy, but there was a steady flow of diners coming in and out. Seating is ample, with outdoor, bar, sushi bar, and regular table options. I ordered two rolls: hot havana and mango roll. Both were delicious and the mango was juicy! The purple rice was super fun and set them apart from other sushi spots. I also ordered the miso soup to start. The food came out quickly. My only "complaint" is there aren't a ton of classic roll options. But this is a more upscale sushi restaurant, so it isn't surprising. I will keep this place in my list of spots to hit when I'm looking for a bite to eat in DTPHX.

    Iced Matcha

    High quality sushi for a great price in a cool location? Honestly, what could be better! Harumi came highly recommended by friends and family who live in town, so it was a must-try when we were visiting AZ over the holidays. There are plenty of nearby parking garages to choose from, and I don't believe they validate. We made a reservation for four adults and one baby for lunch, and we were glad we did because this is a popular spot! Nearly every table was full by the time we were leaving. I started with an iced matcha latte, which may have been one of the best I've ever had! It was smooth, sweet, and lightly frothy. Their lunch specials are an incredible value: you can get so much food for great price! I went with the Udon & Duo, which was $15 for a huge bowl of udon noodle soup and two sushi rolls of your choice from a select menu. Everything was fresh and flavorful - the sushi is made on purple rice which is a fun twist! Our server was so sweet, and they were well equipped and happy to serve a baby, although a very well-behaved baby at that. This is definitely on my list to revisit the next time we're in AZ!

    Harumi is one of the top sushi restaurants in Phoenix, with great quality of fish and unique rolls. Their purple sushi rice is a fun addition, and also cooked/seasoned very well. The restaurant is warm and inviting, with very attentive waiters. It can be difficult to find parking downtown, but the meal is definitely worth it! I always will recommend harumi to people in search of great sushi in Phoenix.

    Chef special
    Sue Z.

    Surprised such an amazing sushi place exists in Phoenix ! I visited my friend in Phoenix and we liked Harumi so much that we came back the following day. Their decor is beautiful with a modern boho vibe and soft wood tones that's perfect for a date. We shared a few rolls and also ordered some kid friendly options (plain rice, side of avocado, sweet potato roll, avocado cucumber roll). Our favorite roll was the Hot Havana roll! Must get it if you like yellowtail! Also appreciate that they have a very affordable chef special that is perfect for those on a keto/low carb die. It came with 6 pieces of sashimi and the oasis roll. Love that that use a rice blend (purple or black rice?) that gives it a purple hue. We did order cocktails and sadly, my "Seija" cocktail which is a matcha martini missed the mark :( but my friend enjoyed hers.

    Yes! Yes! Yes! Fresh fish, quality food, excellent customer service, beautiful ambiance and mind blowing price points! This is the place to be. I had the lunch tower special, miso soup, edamame with the spicy garlic butter (I preferred the sea salt), the mackerel nigiri, the kurodai nigiri and they all did what they were supposed to do; excite my tastebuds and fill my belly. This was great! I didn't have a mocktail because I thought the prices ($19) were too expensive (the lunch menu was cheaper $16). The entire team was remarkable and I already see myself dining in there again VERY SOON! Check them out and enjoy!

    5 Nigiri and Crazy Roll Combo
    Francheska J.

    I'm going to start off by seconding the common opinion -- the black rice is tasty, but it doesn't make for amazing sushi rice personally, as it does tend to fall apart as soon as soy sauce touches it (even when just picking it up, especially the nigiri). I think it definitely makes for a great visual, but not my favorite. I've been to Harumi before a couple of times before they moved over to this bigger location, and I think the quality has stayed relatively the same. I think what shines here are the unique roll options and the fish quality. The service is also always great, I've always had really friendly servers, and the food comes out super fast (like almost concerningly fast hahaha). This time, my family came for a Sunday night dinner, and there was no wait at all. We shared a couple of rolls, some appetizers and udon. The gyoza was the deep-fried kind, which was good, I think I personally prefer pan-fried. The Oh My God roll is always a hit with people, as it comes with a fun little fire show, but I'm not a huge fan of very saucy rolls so I opted for the nigiri and rainbow roll combo -- which was great value! I didn't love the udon personally, I think there was a lot of pepper or spices that kind of overtook the flavor of the broth. Overall, the sushi itself was solid, appetizers were okay, but my family loves their rolls! I will definitely be back for drinks, as I saw some really cool options on the menu -- need to try that matcha martini for sure!

    My partner and I originally chose this place because we heard they light one of the sushi rolls on fire, which immediately sounded like something fun we had to try. Funny enough, this actually wasn't even the exact restaurant my partner had been thinking of when he brought it up, but honestly I'm so glad we ended up here anyway because the food was REALLY good. We ordered the flaming ohmygod sushi roll, and man... it was amazing. Not only was the presentation fun, but the sushi itself actually tasted incredible too, which sometimes isn't the case with more "gimmicky" menu items. It was so good that I literally ordered another roll to-go and took it on the plane back home with me because I already knew I'd be craving it later. That alone should say enough about how much I liked it. I also tried the matcha martini, and it was honestly one of the best cocktails I've had in a while. It had the perfect balance of matcha flavor and alcohol where neither one overpowered the other. Sometimes matcha drinks either taste way too earthy or completely lose the matcha flavor under the alcohol, but this one was super smooth, flavorful, and really well done. The restaurant itself also has a really nice atmosphere. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and the indoor area definitely has a more upscale vibe than your usual sushi spot and that makes the experience feel a little more elevated and perfect for a date night. On top of all that, the servers were super friendly and provided genuinely great service throughout the meal. Everyone was attentive, welcoming, and made the experience feel really comfortable and enjoyable. Overall, this place completely exceeded my expectations. Great sushi, fun presentation, amazing drinks, friendly service, and a really nice atmosphere. I'd absolutely come back again.

    Amazing service, delicious sushi, and great lunch specials. Everything tasted super fresh and flavorful. The staff was attentive and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a downtown Phoenix sushi spot we can't wait to go back to!

    This was the first restaurant I ate out while visiting Phoenix, which truly surpassed my expectations. Did not expect much from a sushi restaurant in a landlocked state, but the fish was so fresh. All the dishes are reasonably priced for the quality - this is a gorgeous upscale restaurant in downtown with beautiful dishes to match. The service is very professional and friendly - I was given several recommendations for things to do while in town. The lunch happy hour is also an insane deal for the quality. I returned the next day with a large group and everyone had a great experience.

    Mt Fuji roll
    Amy H.

    Mt. Fuji roll is the BEST. Atmosphere is perfect. Service is a little TOO much. Obsequious. Over the top. I felt rushed. Like four different people asked me multiple times about each thing I ordered. Like back off already? Martini was ... uh... small.

    Matcha colada, Sakura spritz
    Annie L.

    Easily has become my new favorite Japanese restaurant! Our server Brad was by far the biggest highlight outside of our delicious meal! He went out of his way to take care of us and he was such a delight to talk to. We had a big group too and the food came out so quickly! I would drive out of my way just to come back here .

    Las Vegas Roll
    Kimberly T.

    F O O D This place came highly recommended and it did not disappoint. The place was super vibe-y and is a great place to go with the girls or on a date. And the food was delicious! My sister and I loved everything we ate. The Caesar salad was fresh and the dressing delicious, and the sushi is made with purple rice instead of white which set the place apart from other sushi spots I've eaten at (in a good way!). They don't load up on the carbs and the fish to rice ratio was nicely proportioned. I thought that the prices were also pretty reasonable. Japanese Caesar Salad // $12 Scallop Temaki // $12 Oh-My-God Roll // $16 Mt. Fuji Roll // $17 Las Vegas Roll // $13 Trip sampler // $22 S E R V I C E The service was SO GOOD! I'll be honest, the people of AZ weren't impressing me; I went to downtown Phoenix the night before and encountered some pretty overt racism. This was our last dinner and the staff were so nice. Everything was prepared well, food came out fast, drinks were filled, all the things! I only caught the girl's name who brought out the Oh-My-God roll and gave us a show (thanks, May!), but the employees were quick to clear our tables and were so smiley and were so great to converse with. This is a must go-to spot whenever we visit Phoenix in the future. L O C A T I O N It's located in downtown inside what looked to be a business building. I actually have no idea where everyone typically parks, but we managed to find street parking a block away.

    Yes, Harumi provides gluten free soy sauce for our customers.

    Do you have gift certificates?

    We do have gift certificates, however, they will need to be picked up by either the recipient or purchaser. We currently do not offer electronic or ship them.

    Is there a parking lot for the restaurant and if not what are closest parking location?

    Metered parking, there is a garage in the financial building but it costs a lot. Entrance is between central and first ave on Adams. You can get it validated for a little bit off at the bar or one of the shops on the ground floor.

    What is the "real wasabi" that you can order? Fresh wasabi (like at Roka Akor) is grated from the actual root. The stuff Harumi serves is wet and delicious, but what is it?! What's it made with/from?…

    No - but the menu is generic across all ages groups.. don't think you will have any problems - have taken my kids before and never an issue.

My friend and I were greeted right away and told to sit anywhere we'd like. There's plenty of seating available, including a long communal table.

I added a soft boiled egg for $2. The ramen was tasty and definitely on the creamy side. I enjoyed the flavor. I appreciate that they have a vegetarian option, I just wish the veggie came with tofu. Even though there's an option to add an egg, it's just not enough protein for me. My friend ordered the spicy miso ramen and loved it. When we saw homemade matcha tiramisu, we couldn't resist, so my friend and I shared an order. It was light and delicious and the matcha flavor was subtle. Highly recommend. We had a great experience and would recommend Ramen Kagawa to others.

We enjoyed talking to him about his travels and life plans. I ordered a drink that I didn't like very much, so he brought me another another one of his choice, which was much better. The food has a Mediterranean flair and was definitely flavorful, but there were a few dishes that were too salty. We tried the zaa'tar man'ouche and the concept was great, but there wasn't enough cheese inside and too much spice/salt on top. The grilled oysters were excellent and had a tasty smoked tomato flavor. For entrees, the lobster tagliatelle had such a delicious smoky flavored sauce, but unfortunately it was way too salty and the lobster was overcooked. We let the manager know about that one and he tasted the sauce and agreed. The herb crusted halibut was very good, with yummy snap peas and beets. We decided to try the black walnut affagato for dessert. It was a bit disappointing because it comes with vanilla ice cream and a black walnut bitter, which is super strong if you taste it alone, but mixed with the ice cream and espresso loses its walnutty flavor. We overpaid for that one. The food is quite overpriced, but if done right I think it's worth it. Just expect that you'll be paying a lot for this dinner. We had a chance to check out the trophy room after dinner; our server was nice enough to make a reservation, likely because it was not too busy that night. They make you lock your phone in a locker. The room is quite small but has unique decor that fits the theme of the restaurant. The bartender did not smile or make eye contact the whole time, but was very knowledgeable about the drinks and different liquers they use. The drink menu is also very unique and has some interesting drink options. I had one with balsamic, strawberry, and marscapone which was different than any drink I've tried before. It was an enjoyable way to end the night.
