A great, authentic Japanese dining experience! The sushi was delicious and the bento box was a great size and really enjoyable too. I'd highly recommend Yoshi Haru to lovers of Japanese cuisine and newbies to the scene alike - will definitely visit again.

Absolutely lovely Very welcoming and authentic food Such a nice restaurant needs to be better known! Only thing I missed were pickles sauce over the rice with my husband's bento x

I think this is a real gem of a Japanese restaurant here in Halstead, Essex. I've eaten in a couple of very good Japanese restaurants and really thought this was better based on the current menu. They're not serving fresh Sushi at present due to the contamination issues with COVID-19 (I ate here with my family on 18.09.20 so will hopefully change at some point). The restaurant is very neat and clean with hand sanitisers on every table and there is enough distance between tables to be comfortable. I was hoping for a little more Japanese décor around the restaurant (this is my only negative) but liked the pictures that were there. Would be good to see some more modern day Japanese pictures in the form of photos of Japan or some more Anime. For starter, myself and my wife had the Chicken Gyoza (Japanese Dumplings) whilst the kids had the Chicken Wings. The Gyoza was delicious and the outside of the dumpling reminded me a little like the taste of a pancake which was nice. For a main, I went for the Ebi (Tempura Prawn) Katsu Curry Bento box which came with a good portion of prawns, rice, curry sauce, cooked crab meat Sushi and vegetables which all tasted fresh and delicious as they should. The Bento Boxes are great as the compartmentalise each of these servings so you can mix things together as you please and is very appealing to look at. Drinks were Japanese Asahi Lager which I personally enjoy very much as well as various other soft drinks. I didn't see what other alcoholic drinks they did as I only wanted a couple of beers due to it being a weekday. Service was good and the gentleman who was working (possibly the owner?) was efficient and polite through our time in the restaurant. Hopefully, I'll get the chance to sample some fresh sushi once things are better than the current climate. The 4 of use thoroughly enjoyed the meal which is rare with younger kids so look forward to returning again soon.

It was my first time at a Japanese restaurant and the food was delicious. The menu was easy to follow with pictures of some of the dishes next to the description. Well worth a visit!
