Harumi Sushi Sake

I love Harumi! The food is always delicious and this location in particular is my favorite because I don’t like being in Downtown Phoenix. I’ve only ever come here for the lunch specials (Mon-Fri, 11am-2pm, no holidays) because they’re so good and such a great deal! I usually get the L5 for a huge bowl of Udon with two half rolls from a selection of their specialty rolls. Pictured here is the Rainbow and Arizona rolls. All this for only $15 plus tip! It’s the perfect amount of food too. Atmosphere is lovely and the whole restaurant/facilities are really clean. Highly recommend!

The restaurant is very modern looking with misty outdoor dining area. The bluefin selection is one of the best in the area. Love the Over the Rainbow roll, especially the seaweed salad that is separate and great to pair with the sushi. The serves was great, dishes comes pretty fast after we made the order.

This is my second time here and it was just as amazing as the first time. I had been craving it since my last visit when I had the GF Over The Rainbow roll. The food was incredible. Service was friendly and fast. Bathrooms were clean. They had a gluten free menu which had many more options than other sushi restaurants I’ve been to. My rolls had huge pieces of fish inside with a thin layer of rice on the outside. Some places I’ve gone to had such a huge layer of rice with a tiny piece of fish. I don’t go back to those places. This one I will keep coming back to as often as possible!

Harumi was excellent! The Oh My God Roll was rich and savory with a perfect sear and crunchy topping that added great texture. The Hot Havana brought serious heat with fresh jalapeños and spicy sauce — a must if you love bold flavors. The H3 Roll was our favorite: the sweet mango, creamy avocado, and fresh fish made it super refreshing and well-balanced. The Tuna Tataki looked great but lacked flavor — a bit bland overall. Miso soup was too salty for our taste. Service was amazing — super attentive and genuinely friendly. We’ll definitely be back!

Such a nice place to eat outside in their patio in this beautiful weather. The service was amazing! The goid was really good too, just the rice has a lilac color, so that was different. Definitely a place will visit again.

By far our favorite sushi spot, we come here on a regular basis and get the OMG, Crab Mania, and Crunch mango! Joey is the BEST server and we look forward to seeing him when we dine in. They have an appetizer that is Crispy Spicy Tuna, sometimes Joey & the chefs will let us change it up and instead of Tuna we do Crab Salad! 10/10 our favorite appetizer and we wish it would be fully added to the menu!

EDIT July 12, 2025 This review is JUST for the new tables and chairs. I had to take away a star for the lack of comfort now. The staff, food and chefs remain outstanding! We dined in at Harumi tonight, excited to return after their summer break—but unfortunately, the new seating changes were a disappointment. They've replaced the booth seating (which we loved), tables, and chairs, and the new setup feels cramped and uncomfortable. The small round tables are clearly designed for just two people and barely accommodate one or two dishes, which doesn’t suit Harumi’s usual shared-plate dining style. For groups of 4 or more, they’re pushing multiple small round tables together, creating a clumsy and awkward layout. Even at the downtown location they have either perfect squared off tables or large round tables. The new wicker type chairs are also very narrow and uncomfortable, pinching your thighs and hips at the sides—definitely not designed with comfort in mind. The overall feel is no longer cozy or inviting, and several other diners around us were also visibly unhappy with the new arrangement. Square or rectangular tables would be a much better fit for the space and the dining experience Harumi is known for. We love the food, but the new layout took away from the overall enjoyment. Original Review: Hands down our favorite traditional style sushi restaurant! The freshest fish! We love the sashimi appetizer, the toro and salmon belly nigiri, the hamachi carpaccio, the oh my God roll, the spicy ahi on sticky rice and the hamachi cama. Reasonable prices. All of their servers and staff are attentive, knowledgeable and just nice people! We love dining here because we know it’s going to be consistently DELICIOUS! We ate an early dinner there today and it was fantastic!

Harumi is my favorite sushi spot in Arizona. They have incredible quality of fish at good prices. The carpaccio and nigiri are my favorite but they also have amazing rolls! The staff are friendly and I enjoy the group service they use. I’ve never had a bad experience at either location and will go back as often as I can.

Beautiful design. Excellent service. Each dish ordered was delicious. We were warmly welcomed in upon arrival and we sat at the sushi bar. The chairs tend to slip and slide on the floor yet stay upright. The soft background music was trippy yet much better than the obnoxiously loud music at nearby restaurants. I'm glad I ignored the low star reviews and I got to have my own experience. This is my first time seeing forbidden rice and fresh wasabi on any menu. I will be back!

Just okay I was hoping for more. Tried Harumi Sushi after hearing some buzz, but overall it was a mixed experience. The restaurant is small and cozy, which I actually liked it had a relaxed, intimate vibe. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't quite hit the mark. The crispy rice was too crispy almost hard to bite through and the crunch roll was overwhelmed by too much eel sauce, which masked the other flavors. Service was just okay. Our waiter was polite, but we waited quite a while between check-ins, which made the meal feel a bit dragged out. Not the worst sushi I've had, but nothing that would bring me back anytime soon.

Yum! Space is petite indoors, cute patio seating outdoors with misters also available. Came in for uni and toro but they were sold out!! So sad. That's the price you pay for sushi places that get real fish delivered daily. Guess that means we just have to keep coming back!! Our server was so sweet and attentive. Yellowtail Carpaccio - fresh and jalepenos were crunchy. Yum! Omakase (chefs choice) - no toro so they replaced with Blue fin. No uni so replaced with seared blue fin? Salmon belly, yellow tail, blue fin, ebi, scallop, I forgot the rest. $45 OMG roll - presentation was cool! Torched roll. A little too rich for me. My plus one loved it. Crispy Mango Roll - my fav of the two rolls! Can taste the individual flavors more

Very responsibly priced, fresh, sushi. Service was fast, servers were attentive, environment was clean and appealing. I went here by myself for lunch and enjoyed myself. The deep frier machine was down at the time and they made sure to inform us before we placed our orders. I ended up with the h3 roll and it was delicious. I was given fresh ginger and wasabi too.

This is the perfect spot for the best sushi in town! A huge shout-out to Harsh for his incredibly helpful suggestions. The service was excellent, and the food was incredibly fresh and delicious, especially the purple rice sushi. We'll definitely be back whenever we visit family here!

Good 10/10 Service 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 All I can say is if ur in Peoria don't even think twice about it, you have to come here for the best sushi because every single thing I ordered was absolutely mouthwatering and to die for. Everything was so fresh there was not one thing that I didn't like I cannot wait to come back to try more things off the menu. Also all the sushi is trademark black rice instead of ur regular white rice. Just wow. Super impressed. Also service was impeccable everyone was super attentive and on top of their game with making sure customers were all satisfied. This place is a gem just saying.

We've been here a couple times and are always happy with the service and food. I still hold favoritism for the downtown Phoenix location, as the dining area is a lot more elevated and spacious and I do feel the sushi does taste better, plus they have cocktail drinks. BUT putting aside that preference, this location continues to deliver absolutely delicious sushi that's reflects the same items that you'll find in the other. We've always been quickly seated regardless of group sizes ranging from 2-6 people. The food is prepared and delivered in a timely manner, and the service team all works together to ensure that your dining experience is a positive one. Definitely recommend this as one of my favorite sushi spots in the Northwest valley.

I'm a day 1 Harumi fan, it's always been my all time favorite sushi place in Arizona. My home base has always been the downtown phoenix location at their old spot before they remodeled and moved, and even now at their newly renovated location across the street. Now that I live in north phoenix, I decided to try the Peoria location. This location is more like the old location in downtown before the renovation. They have old menu items, like the sunkissed roll which isn't offered anymore at the renovated location, which is a shrimp tempura roll with seared salmon and cheese on top which used to be my go to, and is still really good. My frustration is that they weren't offering anything that's fried which was a lot of their items on the menu. Not sure if their deep fryer is broken, but it significantly affected the options of what I was planning to order. Unfortunately they also don't have the ahi tuna crispy rice like the downtown location, which is their most popular menu item. Little disappointed coming here, also considering it took nearly 30 minutes to receive a takeout order for 1 roll. This location is much smaller but it's cute and reminds me of the old location. The quality of the sunkissed roll I got was still great, but wish they had their full menu available.

At the risk of this place getting even busier, I have to be honest.... Peoria: if you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. The "Oh My God" and the "Super Crunch Shrimp" rolls are amazing! But I've never had a roll here that wasn't really good! Seriously, good!

Harumi sushi is located in a plaza in Peoria. It took us a little searching to find it as there are four corners worth of plazas. There is an enclosed patio with heaters and an inside seating area with eight tables and sushi bar seating. We met friends for dinner. We ordered the Crunch Mango roll, chicken gyoza, seaweed salad, 2 bowls of chirashi Don and sake. The roll had mango, crab, rice, salmon and ahi. The chirashi don is sushi rice with assorted sashimi. All were so fresh and tasty. Great service with shared servers. Would definitely return. They do not take reservations. We would've had a 40 minute wait but our friends arrived earlier. Shared parking lot.

We have been here twice so far. Both times the food was delicious. Service was also excellent. I like how you can order your food by writing in what you want in the menu. The restaurant both times, was kind of cold. They left the door open and it wasn't the warmest day. The other time it was summer and it was freezing inside. Also the seats are not the comfiest to sit on and they feel really close to the other tables.

Seated right away. Nice cozy dining area. The server helped us order. Great sushi! Delicious! Very good, friendly service.

This place is very easy to find, lots of parking. It's next to Aldi's. Good vibes, service was pretty good except we didn't really know who our server was since it seemed like a "group" thing. The sushi was pretty good. We had a lot of different things. The matcha green tea, was so good. I had it hot and it was amazing. I could have had multiple cups of it. Delish. Gyoza-didn't try it but the mini mini ate all of them and said they were good. Shrimp tempura-pretty standard, very good. It came with 4 pieces and a tempura onion ring Harumi -shrimp tempura with crab salad, avocado & cucumber & tuna. It had shredded radish & masago on top. This was pretty good, 7.5/10 Oh My God -smoked roll with shrimp tempura, avocado, crab salad. It also had shrimp, eel and tobiko, and spicy Mayo and eel sauce -they light it up at your table, so if you need a little "show" at your table, get this. 8/10 Mt. Fuji - tuna, salmon & avocado topped with scallops, tobiko wrapped with soy paper -this was pretty good, I really enjoy any roll with scallops, so 9/10 Spicy Scallop nigiri - scallops topped with sriracha and chili crunch oil. Yum 10/10 would eat that again. Definitely would eat here again.

This is my 3rd visit to Harumi. The food is consistently awesome, fresh, tasty and always ample servings. Our server tonight was AJ. He was so attentive, personable and really knowledgeable about the rolls and what goes well with what. I highly recommend this restaurant. It has a great atmosphere to top it all off.

My wife and I came in for dinner on a Saturday night. No reservations and the place was packed. We figured it was worth the half hour quote if it was this busy. The place did not disappoint. The prices were reasonable and the portions were generous for the price. AJ was our initial server but also pointed out the team service they have in house. We had plenty of other stop by to assist in running the dishes out or clearing our table. AJ was fantastic guiding us through the menu and made some great recommendations. He nailed it on every one. I'm looking for to coming back. Great Sushi Spot!!

Back for the second time!! Sydney served us again and even remembered us that was so cool! This place is amazing and if you haven't been yet go today!! We enjoyed th OMG roll, spider roll and shrimp tempura. We will definitely be back! It's always fresh and the restaurant is cozy!

Harumi is one of the places me and my husband visit for a day-date! Their lunch special is really good, great price, and good variety. We usually get the Udon soup and two sushi rolls... I really love the Udon soup! Service is fast, attentive and friendly, and the ambiance is very y intimate, music levels are perfect, enjoyable, but you can still carry a conversation with no problems!

I've been to the downtown location with great experiences and had high hopes for good here. Waiter was tough to deal with. Kept recommending things we didn't want and arguing with us when we asked for something to be omitted from the item such as mayo. It shouldn't become a debate. Alright... Miso soup - not hot California roll - weird taste to it - tasted funky Finding Nemo Roll - bad aftertaste sent it back Alaskan Roll - barely any fish in it. Avocado pieces are bigger than the fish Yellowtail roll - barely any fish in it. More cucumber than anything Salmon skin - good Nigiri - good Would only return to downtown location

The food is absolutely delicious here! We tried so many dishes- there wasn't one that didn't hit the spot! Service was great too! So happy to have a new local sushi joint close to my family's house! We will absolutely frequent here often!

Awesome beautiful presentation and real wasabi. Sushi rice rocks. Long reviews suck wow

Everything was great! The sushi was extremely fresh and very little rice and they use black rice - so good! Great service too, and the waiter knew their sushi rolls were able to describe them very well . Very nice patio ! Definitely will go back!

Favorite sushi place upper west side!! My go to whenever I have visitors!! Must try the omg roll!

Best place EVER! Staff are super friendly and attentive! Sushi is amazing! Must order the OMG role!! Love this place!

I do not come here for the purple rice. I come here because the sushi is good, but I guess the "forbidden" purple rice adds a nice aesthetic twist to sushi. It's incredibly convenient having a Harumi location on the west side of the valley, an area that has sushi options but not as many as the east valley or downtown as though we didn't want it or deserve it, but because Harumi took a chance with opening here, I am forever grateful. The Oh My God roll is the showboat of the rolls because they light it on fire and it has a mild smokey taste that's just right and doesn't overpower the roll. They usually showcase it doing turns with the foil as it warms up in the fire as they turn it side to side as I freak out that the waiters will burn their hands. Even a little of the flame ended up on the table yet did not set the table on fire, which unwillingly pushed me to say "Oh My God!" hilariously on cue. Anyway, it always ends up being a show even if I say they don't have to do it and it's just as delicious as it looks if not better. I'd be surprised if it's not their most popular one. The sashimi appetizer is simple and straight forward as it should be. The sliced sampling of fish is a nice way to try each fish in pure form and texture without being unadulterated creatively in a roll. We always order fresh wasabi as I tremendously prefer it to the wasabi paste mush always served with sushi. If you haven't yet, I recommend trying it because it will blow your mind and (clear your sinuses, haha!) if you're on the flavor forward-adventurous side and don't mind some spice to your life. The Hot Havana roll is a spicy roll but being crazy, I still put fresh wasabi on that too. I had to order without mango due to a food allergy but I bet it's even more amazing with it because mango once was my favorite fruit before I became ill-fated with a dumb allergy. It is pretty spicy of a roll but not overwhelmingly spicy. It's quite enjoyable! I've ordered the Mt. Fuji roll a few times and the garlic chili sauce really sets this roll apart from the others. I should just order some of the sauce on the side and bathe other rolls in it too since it's so savory. Unagi nigiri and sweet shrimp are two things I always order at every sushi restaurant we go to. I like the way they do unagi here. They even put little crispy flakes on top of it to add a slight crunch. Unconventional, but good! The sweet shrimp is also a balance between raw and crispy. On one end, you have completely tender and soft plump little shrimp with fresh wasabi accents. Then on the other, you have flash fried shrimp heads which boast a salty, crispy, crunchy goodness - similar to soft shell crab but there is actual meat inside the shrimp heads. Weird, I know. Judge me, I like what I like.

I came from California to explore the area for the weekend. We had just come back from an off road trip when we stumbled on this place. Warning, this place looks like it's closed, at night, but they are open! I was so thrown off by how dark it looked. We then entered the restaurant and the waiters greeted us, we sat down immediately and were brought waters. We had two different waiters, they said they worked as a team therefore to wave anybody down. We looked at the menu and were excited to order, we asked the waiter Joey what he recommended and he provided us with great options. The sushi was spectacular and the drinks were great as well. The ONG was one of my top favorite sushi's. The service was great especially since Joey was such an awesome server. I will be coming back again in 1 months and returning to this restaurant

Had lunch on Monday, 2nd time to this location, love that the lighting inside is more intimate and soft. Hate all the bright fluorescent lights everywhere nowadays. They were very quick to seat us and get our drink orders. Our appetizers came quickly. The waiter was very knowledgeable for food allergies and able to suggest alternatives. You get fresh wasabi automatically and loved that they served it on all our sushi really don't see that anymore it's always an up charge. Everything was so fresh! They were so attentive. Dining room was tidy and clean. Outdoor seating was available. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. I'd say my only disappointment is seeing the purple rice not so purple. First time I went to a Harumi was a few years back at downtown and the rice was all purple. Looks half and half now but still so delicious!!!

I've eaten in the restaurant one time and got takeout two other times. The restaurant may be small, but it's worth the wait for the delicious sushi! Service has always been excellent too! I've been to the downtown location as well and feel fortunate to have one open up closer to me in Peoria.

Service was pretty quick overall, but one of our sushi rolls we ordered never made it to our table. I finally asked about it some time after we had received our other items. Was told it was on its way. More time passed and we were mostly done with our meal and still missing one roll. I asked again and was told the chef missed it and would be out asap. I requested they cancel it. It was taken off our bill and an apology was given by one of the wait staff, but really thought they should've done a bit more to make up for their error (discount our order perhaps). Aside from this, our food was okay but not great. Atmosphere is lacking. Just tables and chairs. They offer a shared wait staff, so no committed waiter per table. Not a big fan of that as it seems no "one" person is taking care of your table. Also one of the employees GF apparently came to p/u an order and there was much PDA's bt the two of them by the door for some time. Not appropriate for a dining establishment. It was our first time here. Sadly we won't be back.

This is my favorite sushi place ever. They have such good variety and high quality food. It has a really nice date night atmosphere. Love it!

Excellent quality for the price. This location is a bit small but replicates the original menu. Good service, and the patio is a cute place to share a meal.

On of my local faves! Tried many items on the menu and was never disappointed. Highly recommend the yellowtail.com and the ebi roll.

Oh my gwad!!! This was place EPIC! We had the best food and service here last night! We started off with a Sake flight that the sever recommended and he did NOT steer us wrong. It was fantastic. Then we opted for multiple rolls, which included the OMG roll, Rainbow, Vegas, to name a few and they were incredibly tasty. We also had some spicy edamame and some hamachi and we couldn't have been more pleased. We will def be back.

This our 2nd time here. The first was also delicious, but I always want to make sure they can duplicate it. The food is outstanding, fresh and quick! That's not always easy to get all three when eating sushi. It's higher priced, but so worth it. We had several staff wait on us and some were really good and friendly. There was one who dropped my sake flight off with no explanation, at all. When I called her back, she was Kinda snooty about it. I didn't take off any stars for that because the rest of the servers made up for her attitude. This is really good stuff!

This is a delightful place, ambience is great, they have outdoor seating on a nice patio, their rolls are authentic and the portion size is good for the price. I recommend this short drive from Surprise.

The lunch special is absolutely perfectly priced. Got udon soup and sushi, the rolls and broth flavors were fantastic. They also serve real wasabi with your sushi and not the knock off stuff. 5 Stars for the quality and flavors alone!

This place was recommended to me by a friend and it was amazing!! Has to be my favorite sushi spot, its delicious :)

Customer Service is phenomenal as is the food. We will definitely return. Ambiance is nice, maybe a little loud in term of background music goes. A very nice covered patio

Just like the harumi in downtown Phoenix, this one also has a great atmosphere and customer service! I ordered takeout and could tell it was great even in that short moment so I'm sure sitting down to eat in is even better. The food was great and all tasted fresh and I liked how crisp the salads were! The sunomono is so yummy and I enjoy the dynamite roll or the oh my god roll as well!

I was pleasantly surprised by how good the sushi was here while I was visiting Arizona but the fish was fresh and delicious! I also really liked how they use purple rice here and they gave freshly grated Wasabi as well. The food overall was really great and I'd come back again the next time I'm in arizona! There was plenty of parking available, but there is very limited seating here I'd recommend you to use the waitlist and sign up in advance. The staff were very sweet and attentive as well. There is outdoor seating though! It is a bit cramped inside and a bit minimal lighting which is a personal preference. It can also get sorta loud due to the small size of the restaurant and make it a bit difficult to have conversations with your party.

Boom! My wife and are thinking this might have been one of our best sushi experiences EVER! Really great! The flaming / smoked thing they do table-side is really cool. II highly recommend this restaurant

Probably the best vegan sushi I had ever had. I love that they have a special section of the menu for vegan rolls, there's only 3 options but I had the sweet potato roll and it was VERY delicious. Pretty unique they use purple rice here for all of their sushi, which I enjoyed. Prices are also very very reasonable. It is quite popular so you probably have to wait to get a table inside- we came pretty early around 4:30pm and still had to wait about 20 minutes. After ordering the service was fairly quick though. We came here for my mom's birthday and they wrote happy birthday on a plate for her with some sauce. They also gave free mochi dessert.

All the food was so good, service was also great! The staff taught my son to use chopsticks and entertained him as well. The place is small but intimate. All the fish is very fresh.

Good spot for sushi in the northwest valley. Have been going to this place since it opened. The sushi is always fresh and flavors are tasty. Presentation is on point . They have great lunch specials, decently priced. One of the few sushi places around here that doesn't load up their rolls with too much rice!

Smaller than the down town location, but has indoor and outdoor door seatings. Mist/heaters depending on the weather and covered. Main issue is it faces sunset. Staff is fast & friendly, multiple people checking on you and doing refill. The purple rice is yummy. Different specialty rolls and other dishes made fresh. Wait times are random if there's a wait of not, checking on Yelp s definitely helpful. Tastes amazing. Bathroom is ok. Only hand blow drying and no changing table.

Miso soup, ahi tower, sushi & gzoya... OH MY! Grab your SOY mate and go to Harumi because it's a vibe. Home of the black rice, fresh flavors and a great experience for a late date night or day hang with the ladies! We went for lunch and was greeted immediately and offered a seat quickly! They have a decent sized patio with a moody inside seating area. Both are great spots but patio seating in January is a fave. We went for their outstanding lunch specials and ordered the Ahi Tower (L4) and Cali Roll / Shrimp Tempura Roll with gzoya (L1). INCREDIBLE! Truly - service was awesome, quick and timely meaning they always seemed to come in right at the right time!

Great sushi, great service, simple but date worthy ambiance. We were happy with everything we ordered.

Food is a 12/10. Always fresh and consistent. Service is slow sometimes but it's okay. It's cute and cozy in there. Way different vibe than the downtown one. We recommend the OMG roll

Hit or miss with the sushi quality. $55, three rolls! All which had just a tiny bit of shrimp/crab. Mostly cucumber and rice!! Consistency is critical especially with so many sushi restaurants around the area. Disappointing!

I loooove Harumi and this location is a little more ideal than the phoenix in the aspect that you don't have to deal with downtown traffic or paying for parking. The restaurant is newer and nice but significantly smaller than the new Phoenix location which is a huge upgrade to the original harumi. Love the rolls! You have to get the OMG roll. Service was good and I have no complaints regarding it but I was just super bummed that the menu at the Peoria location wasn't as extensive as the Phoenix. We went as a date night and I wanted to order an appetizer and a couple cocktails but they only served sake which I like too, but I suppose I was looking for the same items as the Phoenix location. I hate to say it but I think I'll be going to the phoenix location more often just because I like their wider selection of food and cocktails - if you're just looking for sushi they have you covered. This last time I was a tad bit disappointed in how loose their rolls were though. I eat a lot of sushi and I don't typically have rolls fall apart on me which sucks because then it ends up swimming in your soy sauce. Overall it is also a very lovely restaurant! I definitely would love to return in the cooler months to sit on their covered outside area at the entrance. Servers did say it just takes time so in a matter of time they will probably start carrying some more items like the phoenix location which I really hope for!
