“ My fiancé and I went here before getting engaged last weekend on Friday. The sushi was absolutely amazing and the portions were very good. We ate everything we ordered and got the 10% discount as we paid in cash. The only unfortunate part was our server. I'm not quite sure if she just wasn't in the right head space or what the problem was. My fiancé and I are both pescaterian and don't eat dairy or poultry products or any other kind of meat. We told her this from the time we started ordering appetizers. She brought out multiple appetizers that we ordered but the mussels has mayo on them so we had her bring us some without mayo. We enjoyed everything and then we ordered sushi and again reminded her of the fact that we have dietary restrictions. She didn't pay attention for a second time and brought us sushi and I specifically asked if it had no mayo or dairy product or poultry product. She said no but when I went to eat it I looked very closely and one of the rolls had mayo on it yet again. I then asked her to return the sushi with the mayo back to the kitchen and she said she couldn't as she would have to pay for the appetizer and wasn't gonna pay for the second food item which very much confused my fiancé and myself. We both talked about it and felt it was unprofessional and I decided to ask to speak to the manager. I proceeded to ask and she said go ahead and speak to the manager and walked away. I never saw or spoke to the manager as this was our first time at the restaurant and wouldn't know who they are. She then came back and said she would cover the sushi and brought us sushi without mayo on it. I then explained in detail as to why we have dietary restrictions and she acted blown away by it. I still never spoke to a manager. We paid for our food and left as we were disgusted with the service. ”
“ A very pleasant experience at Haku last night. It was quite busy for a Sunday evening and that was testament to the food. We had the Tuna Salmon Tartare along with the sushi Sashimi combo. All the fish was fresh and sweet. Pretty plating as well. Loved it. We also enjoyed the Omkase banchan on the side. We wanted some vegetables and that was a perfect combination for us. A very good restaurant in Santa Rosa. Must try if you are in a mood for sushi/Japanese/Korean food ”
“ I thought the fire symbol on the menu meant extra spicy but it was literally on fire! (And spicy) Spectacle aside very delicious. I've been many times and had many rolls by now. Haven't had one I didn't like. You can't go wrong with unagi and this place has options! ”
“ Haku Sushi is located in the heart of Santa Rosa. Being new to the area I am always on the hunt for a sushi spot, lucky I came across Haku. Parking can be a bit tricky on a busy day since street parking is always crazy but on not busy days it’s a breeze and tons of open meter parking available, they also have a parking garage right across the street if needed. Service was great, the staff that helped me was very welcoming and gave me time to over look the menu and patiently waited till I was ready. The restaurant looked busy and I noticed tons of people also picking up orders to go. I finally placed my order and also got it to go so I can enjoy at home. Waited about 15/20 min and my food was ready. I did noticed not only is it a sushi restaurant they also have some type of Korean menu as well, so I feel like they offer more than just sushi but I didn’t ask or explore to much more. Just make sure you come hungry, they do have a good selection to choose from. I ordered 3 rolls and some veggie tempura, I would say the prices are a bit higher than what I’m used to paying back home but I know inflation is real and everything in Sonoma County seems to cost more. I will say, the rolls were delish! They were worth the price, The quality and quantity were outstanding. If you find yourself looking for sushi and are in the area, I highly recommend you stop by. FYI: TOGO 20% off on cash payment. DINE IN 10% OFF on cash payment Enjoy! ”
“ Have been here many times with my friends and has always been good. I don’t really like sushi but they have other food options like bento boxes, udon, noodle and rice dishes with chicken, steak, and vegis. I usually come in here as a group with a couple of friends. So they can accommodate for groups and the atmosphere is so cool but a little maze like to get to the bathroom. Yeah tho I would recommend the tempura and bento boxes it’s so good. My friends say the sushi and alcohol is also so good too. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area. ”
