    Signature Milk Tea
    Sam E.

    Honestly, Long Island has been killing it with its boba options! (An unfortunate phrase to use considering Long Island's most recent current events...) Inside is small, clean, and decorated with dessert shelves, boba offerings and even a game machine! I ordered their classic milk tea with boba and taro milk tea with boba and was serviced quickly. The milk tea itself, so smooth. Classic black tea flavor, a little sweet but not cloyingly so. The boba was nice and sweet and chewy. The real star here was the taro though. Not powdery, but the taro flavor really shined through. Probably the most taro tasting drink I have had, ever~ Overall, would definitely come back. Make it a stop on your itinerary during these hot, humid, days of summer!

    After countless reviews we decided to try the food out. With a promo came out to $20 but without $60. Even with the promo I don't feel the food was worth it at all, given the name I should have known it's more for the drinks but wanted to give the food a try. The popcorn chicken had a weird coating on it and steam dumplings were not it, we both tried one and instantly regretted it, very porky taste. The rock shrimp was the best thing we ordered. The ramen was very well tempted upon delivery but the pork was as very tough. Didn't feel like it was freshly made, more so prepackaged meals. Overall will come back for the tea drink and that's about it.

    the menu and prices on the wall

    I was so happy that they added ramen to the menu! Decent selection. A bit pricey but they do give you alot of food. Very generous portions of meat. The popcorn chicken was delicious. I got the curry broth and i will say it was a tad disappointing. Very thin broth and not thick like what i am use too. The restaurant now has a couple of tables/chairs so you can dine in if you want too. The waitstaff was friendly and nice.

    They just opened about a month ago, and offer your expected boba options with the addition of colorful and refreshing specialty drinks. There is also a bakery section with eastern and western assortments. If you're looking for a boba fix this is your best option going east on Long Island.

The food is also beautiful and delicious, im never disappointed and the portions are a good size for the prices The shop is always clean and quiet, making it one of my favorite date spots

    This is the closest bubble tea place near my house, I got the Brown Sugar Fresh Milk Tea with Extra Boba and I am obsessed!! It is so clean and a very relaxing environment. The lady that helped my boyfriend and I the other day was so very sweet! I am definitely going to frequent this place!

    I wish I had tasted more matcha, it was very milky but the bobas came out so warm! Quick service, the lady was so sweet and called me pretty :3 the store is really clean and bright. Good spot for a boba run

    Their boba has truly never let me down. I love their brown sugar and I love how you can choose your milk and sugar preference so easily.

    The vibe is chill. Would recommend the Ishiyaki Wagyu on hot stone! It was tasty and came with a…read moreside of kimchi and string beans. The poke bowl was flavorful but was mainly rice. I wouldn't recommend the Yaki Onigiri, despite reading positive reviews for it. The fried rice was way too heavy and didn't taste good. The greasiness was competing with the strong taste of the salmon. Some servers knew their job well, and greeted us at the door. A newer server wasn't as knowledgeable on gluten free options there and also didn't take away our used appetizer plates before serving us the mains. Not a huge deal, but it does make a difference in your dining experience and how the flow of your meal goes.

    "Comforting Bowls and a Cozy Izakaya Feel"…read more Haruki Ramen & Izakaya delivers a warm and inviting ramen experience that feels both relaxed and satisfying. It is the kind of place that works perfectly for a casual date night or a comforting dinner when you are craving something rich and flavorful. We started with the agedashi tofu and Sapporo, which was a great way to ease into the meal. The tofu was lightly crisp on the outside and silky inside, sitting in a savory broth that balanced sweetness and umami nicely. Paired with a cold Sapporo, it set the tone for a solid evening. My girlfriend ordered the spicy tonkotsu ramen, which came out steaming and fragrant. The broth was creamy and pork forward with a steady heat that built gradually without overwhelming the palate. The noodles had a nice chew and the toppings were well portioned. I went with the mazemen, which was bold and satisfying. Rich sauce coating thick noodles, topped with a perfectly jammy egg and fresh scallions for brightness. It was hearty and full of flavor, the kind of dish that leaves you full and content. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, with dim lighting and a laid back energy that encourages you to settle in. Service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The only reason this lands at four stars instead of five is that while everything was very good, it did not quite reach that unforgettable level. Still, it is a dependable spot for quality ramen in Norwalk.
