⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A reliable favourite in Sooke
I’ve dined in and ordered takeout from Hara Sushi many times, and it continues to be one of the most dependable spots in town. Every visit feels familiar in the best way — fresh food, generous portions, and a team that always treats you with kindness.
The sushi is consistently well‑made, with clean flavours and great presentation whether you’re eating in or taking it home. Rolls are balanced, sashimi is fresh, and the cooked dishes are just as satisfying. It’s the kind of place where you can order your favourites again and again and know they’ll come out right.
Service is always friendly and attentive. Even during busy hours, the staff handle everything with calm efficiency, and takeout orders are prepared on time and packed neatly. Dining in has the added bonus of a warm, relaxed atmosphere that makes the meal feel even better.
After many visits, Hara Sushi has earned its place as a go‑to spot for both quick takeout and comfortable sit‑down meals. Consistently good food, great people, and a welcoming environment every time.

The last few times we ordered from here was great but this time was a major disappointment. The rolls were at most half the size of what they used to be along with missing or low quality ingredients/toppings. They cut corners using cheap jasmine rice instead of actual sushi rice. The rice was also dry and underseasoned.
As someone who’s made sushi in restaurants, I would be ashamed of serving someone this food.

Amazing take out experience 2 nights in a row! The staff are extremely friendly, pick up times are quick, and the food is absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the yam tempura and real crab/avocado roll. This will definitely be one of my go to places! Can’t wait to try more of the menu.

New server, young girl getting overwhelmed pretty easily. The owners seem kind of rude and aren’t supporting her. Restaurant is empty (only 2 tables occupied) yet it took over 20 min for some nigiri. They’re turning people away at the door. Food quality low, the ahi tuna was mushy, and the ebi prawn looked bad: the chicken yaki udon was bad too. Even the sushi rice is not good.
This place won’t last if anyone opens competition in Sooke:

Great vegan options and excellent service including her taking the time to check vegan options and ingredients in menu items to make sure. She was also prompt and friendly. SO happy I found this place .

I love trying to support local businesses, but this was just disappointing. All of our avocado in our rolls was so over ripe that it was barely green and they seem to struggle to get food out on time, even when it doesn’t seem very busy. We’re going to make the drive into Langford next time we want sushi.

I love hara sushi Whenever we order they have consistent delicious menu items. yes sometimes they are busy so plan ahead when you want to order as wait times can get to 1.5/2 hours! We love the sushi trays as they are the most diverse and economical priced but call the day prior to ensure the availability as they may not be able
To accommodate if they have one sue chef on.

I was positively thrilled and surprised to find such a delicious Japanese restaurant in Sooke! The service was 5/5 (super warm and attentive), and even though our server warned us the wait would be a while, the time flew by with her bringing us water, tea, and our appetizer. Plus, they were clearly all hustling as fast as they could.
For the food, they were actually sold out of a few things because we came later in the evening, but that made it clear they make everything fresh, same day. We had the agedashi tofu, which was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside with a tasty sauce beneath. My spicy chicken tofu soup came out steaming with an egg and rice, and I loved it. My husband had the yaki udon stir fry noodles and he devoured it.
Tea was free, and I’m writing this review as we’re sitting in Hara for a second night in a row!

I actually can’t rate the food as I didn’t make it in…the reviews don’t look excellent I would have expected better customer service when I called. I called to make a takeout order and was quoted 60min, I told the woman I would call back in a sec if we decided on the wait, which she replied “your time will go up with more orders coming in.” 3 minutes later I called to confirm we wanted to go ahead and she told me 1.5 hours and orders came in…..IN 3 MINUTES? She was rude. We decided on Teriyaki house and it was an excellent alternative option!
