I am new to the area but I have friends that have been waiting for this place to open up forever. I'm going to break my experience down in this review. 1. The ramen wasn't good. At all. The soup was oily and the base was bad. The noodles left much to be desired, and the flavor just wasn't there. Most of their ramens taste really similar. All in all it just tastes like instant ramen with some fatty meat thrown in. In fact, if it were instant ramen, I wouldn't have to pay an $10 for it. 2. No vegetarian options and the staff isn't very nice about it. I have a friend that's a 'flexatarian' (a vegetarian with cheat days, occasionally) and he told me the staff was pretty snarky about it. All the soup bases are made from day old pork/beef broth. 3. The ambiance is ok. The decor is cool but the tables are a bit too close together in my opinion. 4. They aren't consistent with their service. My friend and I got the exact same meal with the same level of spice. I got a giant lump of what looked like straight Sriracha but my friend didn't get any spice at all. All in all, can't recommend this place. It's only slightly less expensive than Sakanaya. You'll find a better bowl of ramen just about anywhere.

Needed some dinner and this was convenient being at the Embassy Suites I was staying at. We went to the area to get a table. Mind you, this place was not even crowded or full. We were given a corner booth near the front, but hidden. That's fine. Our server asked what we wanted to drink. Water would be fine. 20 minutes passed by and we were wondering what was going on. We finally flagged down the manager. He apologized and offered us drinks. I thought that the drinks were on the house. The server also apologized. Safe to assume he forgot we sat down at one of his tables. After that, we were tended to. Still a bummer we had to wait 20 minutes (after flagging the manager down) to get our orders taken. Another 15 for our food. Decided to go with the NY Strip Steak cooked medium-rare with a bleu cheese crust. This did not wow me at all. The steak came out super rare. Like the steak was gold on the inside. And no bleu cheese crust. I'll eat it. I'm starving. Manager came back and offered us dessert. Was this "free" too? I still tipped as if my experience was good. We all know tips should be for quality of service, but whatever. As far as the food is concerned, no way this is even near the top with other steakhouses.

Came here on opening night, so of course the line was long. Like waiting in a Disneyland line, but the ride was worth the wait. I never knew a me-me-me, a melt like this(common- "the light"). steak patty melts- original. I was torn between the pepper-jack pattymelt and the peppercorn pattymelt, so I ordered the peppercorn with pepper-jack cheese. Yes! the sourdough bread was as it should, crispy and golden, and rich. the steak was good, but it wasn't booming as i thought it'd be. but overall, it filled me up to the last penny, and i was definitely satisfied. i ordered the turtle shake. wow, very good. shake at its optimal behavior. the regular size is pretty good, i think it's sharable though, even after eating a generous portion of my meal. i'd say, and this includes the calorie conscious fokls, half a glass would've sufficed for me. needless to say, i did finish the shake. most like the best part of the dinner. the service was good, which closes the deal.

My wife and I were starving for some good sushi and wanted to pig out on a budget. What better place then Haru Suhi, it was recommended to us by a friend thats live near there, and we were hooked. The place has a traditional REVOLVING sushi bar just like they do in Japan. ( you sit at the bar, and sushi comes around on a moving belt ) They always yell hello in japanese when you walk in and once your seated ( which sometimes you might have to wait if you wanna sit at the revolving bar) you can sit down and start eating right a way. There is already sushi on moving belt, you just take the plate you want and start eating. The portions are small but this way you get to try alot of different rolls and types of sushi instead of filling up on one or two rolls ( which is what I think what they wanted). They charge you by the plate anything from $1.00-$2.00 and if you dont see anything you like they will make anything you want ( but charge you accordingly). I recommend the VEGAS roll, BAKED SCALLOP roll, HARU sushi, and SIZZILING SALMON are some of my favorites. We were so full! (sushi coma) we had 14 plates ranging from $1-2 and our bill was $31 and some change, with tax, for the both of us. CHEAP! anywhere else we would have spent $50 at least. We go there at least once a week or every other week just to eat there, and we live in Central Phoenix. Its worth the drive for us.
