This is a really unique restaurant. We had dinner with some friends and decided to all share several different items which was perfect for our evening. We enjoyed the A5 hot rock, the Caesar salad salad, shiitake mushrooms, 417 Dragon roll, the lamb, tuna cigar, and the blueberry Sharlotte for dessert. Everything was really well presented, and the food had such amazing flavors. Things that we would never have tried before we tried this evening and it was amazing.

Probably the best restaurant experience I have ever had. I mean wow. I knew I was in for a treat.
Our server (I’m so sorry, I forgot your name!) but you were so down to earth, informative and just an overall great dude. Thank you so much! Then again, all the workers/bussers/managers/chefs were at the TOP of their game. They were all generous and even if they didn’t operate near your table they still shared a generous smile.
The ambiance was perfect. Not too dim, not too bright. Perfect lighting for a quaint and inspiring evening. The decor was comforting.
NOW, the food! We started with two oysters with caviar. Some of the freshest, flavorful, mind-bending experiences. The perfect oysters. Next, we had Uni. Now, Uni may be the top reason we came here. I’ve been DYING to try it. And it of course was another mind altering experience. A flavor unlike anything I’d ever had. So fresh. So clean. So unique.
Next we had the tuna cigars, which may have been our favorite dish of the evening. Served in a Smokey antiquated box, the flavor and texture was something I can only describe as heavenly.
We then cleansed our pallets with Miso soup. (Incredible.)
We also got the chefs selected Nigiri, all incredibly fresh and flavorful. Unlike any Nigiri I’d ever had. This is real fish. This is the real deal.
And finally we finished with an A5 Wagyu Nigiri. Which, I’d never had. And it was the perfect send off for an incredible experience. It was… it is…. It’s… it… it was sensational.

We dined at Haruno 2/6 and Ariake 2/7. Both were Fantastic! Each had its Strong points. If you want a Top Class Sashimi experience and the A5 Wagyu that is just phenomenal go to Ariake the freshness and Quality is Outstanding. Understand that you pay for quality. We are from Hawaii and have missed having high quality fish like this. If you are looking for an Experience you will not Regret Ariake. If you are looking for more traditional Japanese staples likes Shrimp Tempura, Beef teriyaki Steak, great sushi/Sashimi Then Haruno’s. We will go back to both! I ordered a lot of food thats why my price range is high and my husband had several drinks. Chaz the Bar Tender made our entire Experience great and the #1 reason why we will return again.

I did not know Springfield, MO had such a nice restaurant for dates, special occasions, or small groups. The food was AMAZING and interesting. Lots of unique flavors. Great service. Chaz was great but so were all the employees. Favorites were lamb and also the tuna firecracker roll.

Cannot say enough good things about this place. Service was excellent. Drink recommendations were on point. My A5 was cold when it was originally brought out but they IMMEDIATELY took it back and replaced it with a freshly cooked one. Best sashimi I’ve ever had stateside. Took my kid for his 18th birthday and they made his dessert extra special. Worth every single penny. Will be going back very soon.
