Harumi - Japanese restaurant in Seaside - 1760 Fremont Blvd #4, USA

Great spot for sushi in Seaside. Its had different owners over the years. Happy to say that they went under new ownership and it’s back to its glory days. Favorite rolls are the Grinch Roll, Hot Cheeto Roll (ask for spicy mayo on top or on the side) and captain crunch roll. They have good miso soup, great tempura udon and nice sized bento boxes. They also have great packaging for to go orders. Normally pick up is 20-30mn for my order over the phone. I usually spend $80-$120 for my orders. So a bit $$$ but honestly worth it.

One of our regular places to go for sushi. Dinner or lunch, you can't go wrong. Prompt service no matter how busy they are. Never waited more than 15 minutes from ordering to getting our food. Plenty of beverage options and the dessert menu is decent too. Usually way too full to have room for it though. Portions are generous. Slowly working our way through the staples. Haven't had a bad experience yet. The servers are always pleasant and accommodating. Another thing I like about Harumi's is that splitting a check between multiple parties at one table is never an issue unlike other restaurants around here.

Visiting from new york and had a hard time finding a good restaurant until I came across this sushi restaurant. Best food I’ve ever had and good customer service as well. It never takes long for my food to come out.

We went there for dinner, passing thru the city on road trip and husband was craving for hot soupy noodle. The udon he ordered hit the spot. Sashimi was fresh and lots of rolls to choose from.

On a visit to Monterey we came across Harumi Japanese restaurant, we started with the tempura appetizer it was ok nothing special about it, and we ordered the deluxe sashimi and it was excellent. We had 3 rolls white dragon, kamikaze, and the Megan rolls. Nothing so special about them. The rice was falling apart, flavor was blunt. Wasn’t too impressed. In general I’ll give it 3 stars.

YUMMMMMM Our server was Ryan and he was very friendly and did a great job! Sooo many options for rolls and combo meals Good sushi that’s for sure. And of course the traditional thank you’s from the chefs as we walked out!

Service has taken a nosedive this past year. Last time we arrived at 7:30pm and were seated. They asked us our orders 10 min later. By 8:00pm they finally brought us our drinks and appetizers but they also brought the bill. We were surprised since they didn't brought our food yet. 15 min later they finally brought our food, and rigth after the elder Asian waitress keep walking by every 5 min just staring at us. At a point she started picking up our plates but we were not done yet! We HATE to be rushed in this rude manner. She even touched the food with her finger because she assumed we were done. We said were were not ready. By 8:30pm another lady came and asked us for the bill to what we said we were not done yet. We asked for desert (tempura ice cream) but the thing was already frozen up and no freshly made as it has always been. The food quality has been decaying so fast as well. Before, the rolls had substantial ingredients but now mostly consists of rice. The chicken teriyaki was COLD. By 8:45pm they had us just tired and very uncomfortable of the many times they keep pressuring us. We decided not to tip due to horrible service and yet the lady demanded tip. We stayed firm and said no. Hopefully, this sends a message that service needs to improve. This is sad since we have been regulars.

We ordered sushi online for take away. It was rather disappointing overall. The flavors were just lacking. When I went to pickup, it was ready a little early and the staff was kind. The restaurant appeared clean. Unfortunately, I don’t think we would be back.
