This restaurant always has high marks and top recommendations.



It does not deserve it.



For starters, the decor could easily be for any Asian restaurant, or could be changed to accommodate a buffet. The wait staff were deficient in operations, and the bathrooms were... ugh. Any of this could be forgiven had the food been as delicious as magazines and online reviews would say. It was not.



For starters, this reviewer has had some of the best Japanese food on this continent. This quality is replicated in restaurants in New England, so Haruki has no excuse. The opening course was gyoza, or dumplings. This dish is not difficult to prepare and is usually delicious. The chefs ruined the dish by floating the morsels in a lake of soy sauce, which made the fried dumplings salty and soggy. Not good eats. This was followed by a lackluster bowl of Udon Noodles, a thick rice noodle in a savory broth. The noodles tasted like prepackaged soup mixes that come in similar packages to ramen floating in a broth that should not have been served. The main course was inexcusable for the price, with a traditional Japanese bento-boxed lunch being offered for dinner. The price, over what was delivered, with baby portions of sub par food barely seasoned. I had never seen a California-roll so small, not even at Asian-themed buffets. The sashimi was good, but then how hard is it to pick out fresh fish and cut it?



I do not recommend Haruki to anyone looking for authentic Japanese food. If you’ve never enjoyed a delicious traditional or modern Japanese dish, then perhaps this hovel would be for you, but if you’re looking for taste Rhode Island and Massachusetts there are better places to enjoy.
