Welcome to Harumi Sushi Bar, an exquisite destination for lovers of authentic Japanese cuisine nestled in the heart of downtown Phoenix at 101 N 1st Ave. This upscale sushi haven is not just a meal; it’s a culinary experience that ignites the senses and leaves patrons yearning for more.

As you approach the restaurant, the stylish and sophisticated decor beckons you in. The ambiance strikes a perfect balance between elegant and inviting, allowing guests to unwind as they prepare for an unforgettable dining adventure. With abundant natural light streaming through large windows, you may just forget you’re in a bustling urban setting.

Harumi’s menu is a thoughtfully curated collection of vibrant sushi and enticing sides, designed to cater to the discerning palate. Begin your meal with a refreshing Seaweed Salad, lightly dressed and bursting with umami flavors, or indulge in the delectable Baby Squid Salad, which delights with its tender texture and zesty profile, both starting at just $5.00. For a true taste of Japan, the Omakase option is highly recommended—at $45.00, this chef’s selection promises an artful assortment of seasonal delights that showcases the finest ingredients and the chef’s creativity.

The star attraction, of course, is the expertly crafted sushi. From the melt-in-your-mouth Toro ($12.00) to the exquisite Uni, each piece of nigiri is a testament to freshness and quality. The Salmon nigiri ($8.00) is another crowd-pleaser, as is the Spicy Scallop nigiri ($7.00), which bursts with flavors that linger delectably on your tongue.

Customer reviews reflect the consistently high caliber of both the food and service. Glenda Velez raves about the “superb” food quality and “exceptional, professional” service, while Harlene Gabiana highlights the freshness and delightful atmosphere that keeps them coming back time and again. The restaurant may be busy, particularly on weekends, but as described by other patrons, the tantalizing dishes and attentive staff make the wait worthwhile.

But what truly sets Harumi Sushi Bar apart is the sense of community and shared experience. As one customer noted, the excitement of a performance with dishes like the OMG roll, which is lit on fire upon serving, adds a layer of theatrical enjoyment to the meal, making it perfect for a sushi date night or a celebratory gathering with friends.

For those who prioritize quality, taste, and a touch of elegance, Harumi Sushi Bar is undoubtedly a must-visit destination in Phoenix. Whether you’re a sushi aficionado or a newcomer, prepare to embark on a delicious journey, where every bite offers a glimpse into the artistry of Japanese cuisine.

Food delicious and fresh! Service, amazing. Went on a Saturday night, waitlist only, no reservations. We waited about 25 minutes for a party of 4, but we grabbed drinks at the bar while we waited. Took a ride-share b/c downtown parking is difficult. There was definitely a wait for the bathroom, but it looked like non patrons were using the bathroom. We frequent harumi b/c the food is consistent and delicious and the staff- amazing!!

Just wow. The Bar is exquistely decorated, just beautiful and tons of light. You forget you are in downtown Phoenix for the tome you are there Food was superb. I had the seaweed salad and the three salmon dish. Just amazing. Tasted the squid salad and it was fantastic. You can feel the quality ingredients, even in the drink I had. Service was exceptional, perofessional, polite, and diligent. We received the food quickly. The atmosphere was delicate and just nice. Expensive resturnt, but good for a special event or a time of celebration.

Great sushi spot! I really enjoyed the rolls and sashimi I ordered. Our waiter was very helpful in recommending the best roll and even suggested adding a touch of lemon on top—it added a wonderful, refreshing flavor. Definitely planning to come back again!

One of my friends highly recommended this place so I chose it to meet up with an old colleague. The vibe was very upscale which surprised me lol however the experience was really outstanding. When I ordered the OMG roll, they had a whole performance that went with lighting the plate on fire! Not as pricey as I thought it would be based on how upscale it felt. Great place for sushi date night!

We all love sushi and this was some of the best we’ve ever had! The ambience was chill. The service was fantastic. The first time we tried to come here on a Saturday night there was an hour and 45 min wait so we decided to go elsewhere, but this time there was only 30 min wait. They do not take reservations so that’s something to keep in mind if going on the weekend when it could be busy. We will definitely be coming back to Harumi!

This is by far the best sushi I have ever had in my entire life!!! Out of this world! Very unique experience. Each and every piece of them were delicious. I didn’t try anything there that was not good. And I didn’t try anything there that I have tried somewhere else! You need to go, it is simply unique!

This is our go-to spot for weekend day trips in the city! The sushi is always fresh, great customer service, and the drinks are great! I recommend arriving right after they open on a Saturday afternoon, grab a table inside, along the windows.

Good sushi!! Waiter told me they get their fish from the same supplier as Nobu. You could tell how fresh everything was. Their rice is all purple and honestly more tasty than regular white rice. Uni was fresh like butter, so you know this place is good. The quail egg was a nice touch. The staff are all very nice
