Review // Harumi Sushi

I often get asked the question, ‘Which restaurant do you recommend for good sushi?’ Without a doubt, I recommend Harumi Sushi! Located on 1st and Adams in Downtown Phoenix, this spot has been my go-to sushi spot for years! There’s quite a few things Harumi Sushi is known for, and I’m here to let you in on their secrets.

First, the quality of fish that Harumi Sushi uses is incredible. When we came in, they had fish flown in that morning from Tahiti, Nova Scotia, and Scotland! You can taste how fresh and tender each piece is, and it makes all the difference in each of their dishes.

Second, Harumi Sushi known for their signature purple rice in their sushi rolls, this purple rice contains more anti-oxidants than regular rice, and tastes even more amazing. Pair a roll of sushi with Sapporo sake bombs, and you’r pretty much good to go!

Finally, their Oh My God roll is experiential! It’s literally, a party in your mouth. The staff comes with a roll in tin foil, and lights the whole thing on fire! This sears the fish and it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious!

Ultimately, Harumi Sushi has earned their reputation on quality ingredients, cool experiences, and a warm, loving staff. I come back again and again!
