O' Haru Sushi & Ramen — Restaurant in Ukiah

They just re-opened like 5 months ago, so I would assume they would have it together by now. We ordered calamari, rainbow roll, dragon roll, spicy tuna hand roll, and the salmon roll. Calamari was overcooked and it was served with a basic Mae ploy style (store bought) sweet chili sauce. Rainbow roll was just weak. Rainbow rolls are basically the same every where. But this one has a regular fake crab stick inside. Usually it’s cut up and has kewpie mayo and season. The dragon roll was bad. The chef literally put bbq sauce on it. The taste is so off it’s inedible, did I mention it doesn’t come with unagi? So instead of having eel on top it’s a bbq sauce and spicy mayo drizzled over. Salmon roll wasn’t good either the fish was cut up into chunky pieces which makes the fish very chewy. And the spicy tuna should actually be called the sweet tuna. Too sweet. And once again the chucks of fish were way too big...

I had such high hopes after reading all of the other reviews, maybe it was an off night. 1st they took my wife's order wrong, maybe she confused them by asking for a substitute. When the order came we corrected the waitress but accepted the misorder just because it wasn't that big of deal. The biggest problem was the rice, the rice for the entrees came out on a separate plate well ahead of the entree and was dry and room temperature, not a hint of warmth, almost as if it had been plated well ahead of time and sat out. The rice with the nigiri sushi was also horribly dry with not even a hint of vinegar, there is a special vinegar which should be applied right after cooking and the rice has slightly set. This helps with flavor and moisture retention. Anyway, some of the fish was alright, some not so great. Since this was my 1st visit, I will probably give it one more try, just to be fair. Lunch so I don't...

We loved tempura shrimp and chicken teriyaki dinner. Miso soup starter was delicious. Foods are prepared very artistically in box, with bright fresh flavor. Many pretty ceramic plates are hand made. Cream cheese wonton more than enough for 3 to share, folded cute little open "envelopes". Our friends had California sushi rolls, fried calamari- loved every bite! Offer Kirin beer as well as non imports. Local wines on the wine list, by glass, 1/2 & full bottle. Nice sake choices. From the bar, you can observe sushi preparation while you eat. Most tables accommodate 4 ppl, can be pushed together for larger groups. There is private side room for a special gathering. Main room is well ventilated with natural light and large windows. Food came out quickly, Staff was knowledgeable, friendly...
