Haru Izakaya - Gatineau

Absolutely lovely dishes, delicious and fresh, EXCEPT for the ramen. Don't bother getting it as it is below subpar. Not that the ramen wasn't fresh, but once you had proper ramen at a Japanese restaurant, you understand that this is miles away from doing the legendary dish justice. Thin and disappointing broth but the noodles were awesome. Also they were out of pork : .Other than that, everything was really great, including the service and ambiance. Beef Dumplings were succulent, karaage were slightly crispy with a thin batter and incredibly juicy and flavorful, the kiwi sauce on the Haru is fantastic, and the pizza sushi isn't as heavy as it sounds and is a great introduction to sushi for anyone worried about dipping their toes in that universe same thing for Haru to be honest).Would definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for quality sushi and Japanese dishes, but as for the ramen, I'd recommend upgrading it or removing it from the menu.Cheers!

Terrible service, as if they forgot you were there, food is overpriced for an extremely low quantity of food. Food was good, but it came cold. Stayed for over an hour. Verry aesthetik restaurant, nice bar. Went 2-3 times, and the service was terrible, i dont know if they do it on purpose so you can enjoy the experience or there just slow. Ps : it wasnt even busy. I dont recommend if your a heavy eater.

We have been going to this restaurant for years, and can say that they have consistently held up their high standards. The sushi is very good, for the Ottawa area, but the service stands out for being both friendly and welcoming and highly professional.

Five of us went on the evening of the first snowfall in Ottawa to catch up. First impression, the interior is tastefully decorated The tea from the giant red teapot somehow warms you right away. We are impressed with the portion of the food and the great taste in both the sushi and tapas. I have to say the pricing is decent. It's in the mall across from Gatineau Costco, so it's a perfect spot for dinner après ski, or spa, or casino, or just stocking-up beers from Costco.

Our first time there and we were pleasantly surprised. We always went for AYCE sushi when we lived in Toronto, but there isn't a lot of AYCE sushi in Gatineau where we moved , so we decided to go to this place. The waiter was very nice and service was good. The place was very busy but we did not wait long. Overall decent quality, prices a bit on the high side, but prices have gone up everywhere these days post lockdown : . Nice and clean decor.
