Hara Sushi — Restaurant in Lake Elsinore

New owners have really messed worth the menu. I used to love going with my boyfriend and ordering the house fried rice or Katsu. They took off fried rice from the menu entirely. The Katsu.... well isn't made with katsu cracker crumbs for the breading. So essentially i ordered fish katsu and got a plate that was 50% wilted salad in a watery ginger dressing, 25% white rice (was chewy, undercooked), and finally two small fish fillets that appeared to be just stock frozen Sysco Food Supply fried whiting that they either heated in a microwave (by the taste), or flashed fried from frozen via deep fat fry. Either way, one or two greats ago this was my favorite Asian (Japanese) place in Elsinore. Now its mostly sushi on some mislabeled soups. Last trip boyfriend ordered beef udon and they swore it was authentic udon noodles... been to Japan... lived there 9 months... that was ramen... the new owners can only tell you what their return on investment is, and not a ** thing about Asian food. Used to be a Japanese family and friends save for the cashier in the kitchen and management/ ownership.

When I asked to pay they never brought me a check, they told me to walk up to the front to pay. The bathroom is locked so you have to get a code to even get in….the hallway to the bathroom is a storage area with ladders snd cleaning supplies…AND tge food was sub par. The lobster was chewy and fishy. I’ll...

Sushi is my second favorite and most ordered food type and Hara Sushi never fails to disappoint. As a Lake Elsinore resident, Hara Sushi is my go to spot for Sushi. Reasonable prices, delicious food, and friendly service. What more could you ask for?

No matter what roll, appetizer, or meal we have ever ordered from here, my wife and I have never been disappointed. My favorites are the Caterpillar and Philadelphia rolls!

If you enjoy Sushi you can’t go wrong with Hara Sushi!

The only negative thing I have to say about Hara Sushi is that they are closed sometime in the middle of the day for break. I came today just after 3pm and they said they are closed until 4. I don’t know when they close for break but I wish their posted hours...
