Shushu Haru is widely praised for excellent vegan sushi and flavorful dishes, with many calling it one of the best vegan spots and a standout dining experience. Some dishes draw critique, such as a tartare that was salty and a strawberry panna cotta whose texture disappointed after menu changes that followed the closure of a dedicated dining space, with the current menu available through the adjacent concept. The sushi is described as fabulous and fresh, though the menu has evolved and some favorites like the Blossom sushi roll have changed. The setting is well decorated and conveniently located near the canal, yet prices can feel high and service can range from warm and attentive to cold, with loud music sometimes affecting the atmosphere. Overall, the food remains the main draw and many reviewers say they will return to explore more vegan options, noting variability in the experience but a strong reputation for freshness and flavor.View restaurant profile
