Shushu Haru draws strong praise for vegan dishes and memorable sushi, with many noting delicious, flavorful options, a well decorated space, and a convenient canal side location. At the same time, experiences vary: service is often described as slow or uneven, and several reviewers report a gap between online menus and what is actually offered, including changes after the dedicated dining room closed and the menu appearing elsewhere. The restaurant is sometimes considered pricey, though several comments say the quality justifies the cost when the kitchen delivers, while other critiques highlight oversized sushi pieces, the choice of rice types that can overpower flavors, and a tartare that some found dull or too salty. Dishes such as zaumon tartare are singled out for mixed results, while favorites like the bun, various vegan sushi options, and sides are celebrated. Desserts have sparked debate as well, with coconut panna cotta praised by some and strawberry panna cotta described as disappointing. Allergy concerns are mentioned in one review, and the overall tone ranges from enthusiastic to cautious, but the food is repeatedly said to carry the experience and leave room for return to explore more of the vegan menu.
Truly, I am at a loss of words. So many vegan sushi places have been such a disappointment. I guess I'm a foodie with very high standards. This is the ABSOLUTE best sushi ever! Vegan or not, you will love it. I promise! Your only regret will be that you didn't come sooner!
I highly recommend the Mushroom bao Buns, the dumplings, the tempura (to die for!), the 3 Mushroom sushi, the Ete (44), the simple sweet potato roll, the Avocado roll. Basically, EVERYTHING we got was impossibly good!
Stop reading. Stop scrolling. Stop deciding where to go. Go here. Now. This is your sign, your sign from the universe. Are you vegan? Great, go. Are you not vegan? Doesn't matter... go.

I excitedly awaited a visit to Shushu Haru & when I finally got there, it was even better than I anticipated. The food was so fresh, tasty & elegantly prepared & put together. The staff was friendly & attentive (& super accommodating to my allergies which isn’t easy considering sesame is prominent in Japanese cuisine). Cute decor too & a great location by Atwater Market. A gorgeous dine-in experience or perfect for take-out by the canal. 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing food. Our service was fantastic & our server helped us select some amazing options. The food was delicious, beautifully presented & very fulfilling. Would not hesitate to eat here again - a much better option that eating at the very crowed Atwater market
magnifique! pour une carnivore &/ou omnivore comme moi, c'est une belle façon d'apprivoiser & d'apprécier cette cuisine. Wow je recommande ce restau sans aucune hésitation .. l'essayer ,c'est l'adopter.
Good atmosphere & nice staff. Food was good too. I wish there were more gluten-free options, but the ones I got were very good. The 514 & blossom rolls were good. The mango sticky rice was disappointing as the mango was severely under ripe & crunchy instead of sweet & soft.
Première visite & tout était parfait. Ambiance, service & la bouffe impeccable & en plus les prix sont très raisonnable. Nous allons y retourner sans hésiter.
Waouh c'était délicieux, & très travaillé. Très belle salle aussi. C'est un petit peu lent mais vu le travail qu'il y a dans les sushis c'est compréhensible.
