haru japanese kitchen Restaurant — Restaurant in Erlangen

It's a large sushi place with wide selection of menu. This was my second visit, and first time I visited was like 3-4 years ago (or even longer). The impression I had then was that the food was delicious but expensive while in small portions. I came for a business trip and visited alone again, and oh my god⋯⋯ I think I can list this place up as the worst sushi place I've been to within Germany. The sushi rice was so wet and somewhat disgusting even. The owner came around to check if everything was fine until tempura came out (it was so so) but he didn't ask a thing when I was paying when I had most of the dish left LOL I think he didn't even dare to ask seeing the table. I did order quite a lot because I skipped lunch because of work and I was still not full but I just couldn't continue eating. (FYI, I did not ask for refund or anything, it was me who decided to order the menu making bad assumption that the place still sells sushi like 3-4 years ago). Btw cost is average now (maybe they didn't increase it since my last visit?) and the portion is larger. I think I ordered food for almost 2 people 😂

It might have been just today the food was bad (I'm aware that the owner might feel unfair about it), but I'm writing this review so the reader won't make the same wrong decision I made (wasting € 82 and ruining dinner time): DO NOT order a lot before you...

Very sad. I once was very pleased here, especially the sushi quality was good but at my last visit i was extremly disappointed as the sushi was bad and extremly expensive. Service didnt even know the names of the rolls and i had to order the number instead of simple unagi or inari nigiri. Yakisoba was simple wheat noodles instead of soba noodles. I felt like im in a too expensive asia imbiss.. Indeed its owend by vietnamese (like many other sushi restaurants). Dont recommend...

NEIN:GOOGLE, ICH HABE SCHLECHT UND NICHT SCHLECHT/MITTEL angewählt_____Das Haru ist der alt eingesessene Japaner in Erlangen. Das Essen war immer gut, die Preise gehoben aber nicht übertrieben, das Ambiente nett und einzigartig._ ABER der Service ist regelmäßig schlecht gewesen. Mal wartet man lange auf das Essen oder überhaupt auf Service. Ok, kann passieren. Es fallen Service-Kräfte aus, es gibt irgend ein Chaos ... alles in Ordnung_______Nicht in Ordnung ist jedoch die Politik, dort zum Wein kein Wasser zu reichen oder Kindern (!) auf Anfrage KEIN LEITUNGSWASSER auszuschenken, sonder darauf zu bestehen, dass auch Kinder das Tafelwasser zu trinken haben.______Ebenso verhält es sich mit dem üblicherweise nachgeschenkten Jasmin-Tee, der doch recht kräftig wird gegen Ende. Auf die Frage, ob man noch etwas heißes Wasser nachgießen könne kam die unverschämte Antwort der Service-Kraft: "Das hier ist doch kein Buffet." Und das sei von der Geschäftsführung so angeordnet._____Wasser ist dort anscheinend knapp. Seit dem gehe ich lieber zu einem Japaner, der das mit dem Gaststätte sein besser...
