    Finally made the long walk from our store to Haruno for lunch.  

    I have to say I was surprised.  This used to be the Empire Chinese Buffet and they did an excellent job with the remodel. The atmosphere was relaxed and the service was good.

    This restaurant is Korean/Sushi. Since I already have my sushi place, I wanted to see what the Korean dishes were like.

    I can't remember what it was called but it was quite good. Any dish that has a "stone" option, get it stoned.  These are rice dishes and they are placed in a stone bowl that is very hot and basically fries the rice.

    Amanda got the sushi and said it was pretty good too.  I really liked the Korean selections though.  Sushi restaurants seem to be on every corner but the Korean menu was truly unique.  I plan on going again.

    order three or more and everything is half price. LOL. half price sushi scares me.

    I went at 12.15 on a wednesday and it was me and 2 other people in the whole place. I ordered 2 rolls and about 7 different kinds of nigiri (salmon, red snapper, octopus, squid, yellowfin, halibut, and that bean curd one)

    it was ok, nothing fabulous. it was 1.30 by the time i left. that is a long time when there isnt anyone else in the place.

    So based off the positive reviews from yelp (and In the Raw being closed on sunday), we decided to give it a shot.  We sat at the sushi bar in front of what appeared to be the head cook.  He was a young asian kid who had no clue about how to be professional in a restaurant setting.  At one point he tells us "our waitress is bad."  Then he says, "oh I don't want to give you this kiwi and get you guys sick."   The kiwi was an integral part of the appetizer, but it never showed up or was substituted.

    I order the rainbow roll, which would be a good barometer on how good and fresh the fish was.  Not good.  Even had a fishy taste and smell.  The sexy sexy roll was pretty good, but based on the overall atmosphere and staff and the quality of its fish, I will not go back

    Oh yea, it wasn't cheap too

    This was the first sushi I've tried in Tulsa. That being said, I was pleased with the food. I had the Crazy Crab. BUT we were there on a Sunday afternoon with only one other table there ahead of us and it took almost an hour to get our food. None of it had to be cooked, so I am still baffled as to why it took so long.

    So I called a few days before hand to make reservations for a party of 25 for a bday. The lady on the phone said she would be able to accommodate us, but warned about the wait time for a party this large. I told her I understood.  When our party arrived at 7, the party room they had for us wasn't prepared yet. So we decided to stay at the bar area and lounge for a bit, but there wasn't any bartenders. Well after 30 minutes of just waiting around, we decided to go seat ourselves in the room.  We finally received our first round of drinks around 8pm, and this was including our waters. By 830 they finally took our orders for our food. We had to flag down a passing waitress to order more drinks/water refills. Around 9pm they finally bring out half of our soups. Half of the party received their soups and the other half received  theirs around 930. The appetizers came out shortly. We finally received our food and rolls around 10pm. We were there for almost 4 hours, our waitress only came 3 times to take drink orders, some of the orders were messed up and some of the guests didn't receive their rolls. The food that was received was actually quite good. So. the atmosphere is nice, if you book the private room you can do karaoke, the foods not that bad, but it's the slow service that will kill this place. I wouldn't come here again with a large group, but am also now skeptical about coming here even if there were only 2-3 of us.

    We arrived on Saturday night at 7pm and had a table almost immediately.  This was quite nice.  30 minutes later and no wait staff had checked on us.  After flagging down a waiter, our waitress took our drink order.  We placed an order for 5 rolls and 3 Korean dinners.  About 30 minutes later A roll appeared.  10 minutes later 2 of the 3 Korean dinners.  20 Minutes after this we were given refills, but the empty plates were never removed.  We ordered 2 rolls to give them one more chance.  One roll arrived 30 minutes later, the last roll was delivered 30 minutes after that.  We were told the kitchen was very busy.  I understand they can get busy, but a tables food should arrive together, not separated by more than 30 minutes.
    My mother in law went to the ladies bathroom and the first stall had no toilet seat, the 3rd was so disgusting she wouldn't use it.  Only one of the 3 stalls in the Ladies restroom was useable!  Disgusting.
    The one good note was the rolls and Korean dinners when they arrived were good.  The food gets 4 stars, the service 1, only because you cant rate them a zero.

    This place has a nice staff and good food but such disorganized service that it cannot receive a decent rating.

    It may be possible to go as a party of two if you don't mind having a few drinks while waiting a while to receive your order.

    This is not recommended for groups larger than two people.

    I used to frequent Fuji for sushi in Tulsa until a couple of years back, when I could tell that the quality of Fuji sushi was going downhill.

    Then, I found Haruno. They have Japanese and Korean food. Their sushi is pretty scrumptious, and for a good price, too.

    Definitely worth a try.

    Far and away the cheapest/best sushi in town.  In the Raw and Yokozuna can compete on taste/quality of fish, but Haruna blows them away on price.  They have a fantastic happy hour that is great if you either go late or early.  The only downside is the perpetually slow service, and sort of hauntingly empty premises (though as more people figure out how good this place is, I think it will pick up).

    Yay!  I'm a fan!!!

    Haruno is a Japanese/Korean Restaurant with modern decor, a bar, and karaoke room.  Tulsa is frustratingly known for having poor foodie choices to pick from.  Fortunately, I happened onto Haruno yesterday and I know I will always come back when I visit Tulsa.

    First and foremost, the service was amazing.  The waitress was very motherly and helped you out with all your needs.  Loved it.  

    Cuisine wise, the Tokyo Tower is as close to Poke as you can get in the midwest.  I will order the Tokyo Tower every time I come here.  Loved it.  The Korean side was also pretty good.  The Kalbi was not the best I've had but I have had a lot of Kalbi.    The friends I went with were pretty happy with their meals but they all agreed that my Tokyo Tower was amazing (yes i shared.  Sharing is caring Ladies and Gents!!)

    Although it really isn't saying much, Haruno is my favorite restaurant in Tulsa by far.

    Nice dining environment.  I like their authentic Korean food.I ordered the raw fish bim bim bap and it was excellent, and also very beautiful! My friend's seafood tofu hot stone soup was also very delicious! I especially like their small side dishes.
