Best sushi in Providence. Hands down.
Great tasting fresh sushi! – This is a nice little find. The food here is very fresh and the place is very clean! They give generous portions and have a pretty extensive menu, especially since the place is not overly large. The atmosphere is quaint and modern with a Japanese flair. The staff is nice and helpful and reliable. I never have to wait long for a server or a seat. The crowd is not overly young which is nice, it's a good combination of people. I really enjoy going there and go as ofren as I can.. their prices are al... read more
High quality Japanese food – Everyone seems to only review the sushi when they review Japanese food, which is a fatal flaw. Sushi is only so much of Japanese food. The sushi here is good, but if it's all you eat, you're really, really missing out. A lot of the entrees outside of the sushi bar are delicious; the bento boxes are some of the best I've had, the yakisoba is great, and all of the donburi (rice bowls) are delicious. With regards to sushi, they also offer chutoro and otoro, the two grades of fatty tuna, which is wid... read more
Good choice for sushi – I went for lunch when in town for a few days. It was a Monday, and not overly crowded. I was greeted immediately by what appeared to be the manager (He had been seated at the bar). The menu was not too extensive, but varied. The freshest fish were clearly noted ("arrived today") on a board on the wall, which was a very nice touch. Unfortunately, no one offered a description of the special maki rolls that were listed as well. The service was very quick. I had the shrimp shumai, which was delicate and w... read more
Best sushi in RI – I've eaten sushi at many high-end restaurants in NYC, Boston and SF (as well as little holes-in-the-wall across the country). Haruki East is on par with some of the better, if not best, places I've been to. The sushi is always fresh. The service is decent to excellent depending on who serves you, of course. Shala is a doll. She also knows a lot about the menu and can recommend things that aren't even listed that the chefs are happy to prepare. The King Crab hand-roll is delicious and I love the Die Hard ma... read more
Decent Sushi-Substandard Service-Pricey – I have been to Haruki East several times. Each time the service was abominal (I subscribe to the three strike rule and H.E. is OUT). Waitstaff as per my experiences there has no personality and appears to be too busy to give anyone personal attention. I have even had a full glass of hot tea spilled on me (and a client!) by a distracted waiter who came upon our table from behind and tried to manoever the cup between two people in conversation (who were using their hands to illustrate ... read more
It's good. It's busy. The decor is glamous in an 80's style. – Pretty good sushi. I was overwhelmed when I went there. It was packed. A lot of locals and students from Brown. I went with a party of 3 with out reservations. We waited for 20 minutes which wasn't bad. Obviosly a popular restaurant. A little chaotic. Waitress was young and a little distracted. She was busy though. The sushi was good, meaning edible but I think a little bit bland. I love sushi so much that when I find it edible at all it's hard to criticize. I do... read more
best sushi in providence – this is everything you could want from a sushi place, short of going to japan. it has an elegent interior, nice seating with some little alcoves, larger tables and a sushi bar. the sushi itself is better than any i've had in RI. and the prices were very reasonable. we even watched a very rude couple complain about something that was cleary their fault, and the waitress didn't even blink, but apologized and brought out an entirely different meal. i was really impressed with the service.
Not as good as I hoped – Don't trust the other reviews; this place is ok at best. I've tasted sushi in Japan, or in the U.S. at some of the best places in L.A., Seattle and Boston, and this place doesn't compare. The pieces were small and not very tasty/fresh. The spicy tuna rolls where just regular tuna rolls with some spicy mayo on top! Ridiculous...
