Why Travelers Love Harukoma (Main
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Waited for an hour on a Monday at 12.45pm allong with locals and other tourists. Is definitely well worth the wait, ordering from the menu by jotting down the item number. The only item that was below standard was the scallops. Everything else is very fresh especially the tuna belly. Place is cramped. Prices are too good to be true compared to other places in Osaka. So worth the wait!! We waited about 1-hour a before we got seated. You order at the door and your meal is ready within minutes after you’re seated. The sushi was delicious and the best we’ve had so far in Japan! The staff were friendly and easy to communicate with! The Eel sushi special was the best!! Also recommend the sweet egg sushi if you’re wanting something sweet! The prices were reasonable too! We came as a family, and it was so good that we went back the next day. Simply the best sushi we've had for this price range. The best eel - it was a pure delight! I highly recommend it! Please note that while on the 1st evening we arrived very early (5.45pm) and didn't have to wait, on the 2nd evening, at around 7pm, we had to wait for 1 hour.

Tourist place for sure but definitely worth the wait (lines are long and it’ll take longer for big parties over 3 people to be seated, so expect at least a 45+ min wait). Fish was fresh and seasoned well, rice was perfect texture & once we got seated the food came pretty quickly and service was fast. Overall very delicious, huge portions but a little pricey. It’s still one of our go-to’s when coming to Osaka

One of the best sushi places I have ever been to. Definitely worth the wait. They have really fresh seafood, rice is seasoned perfectly, and they din’t scrimp on the fish! Salmon & tuna are usually fare but go try their scallops and other fish as well shrimp & squid. I really really enjoyed this experience. A very solid 5/5 stars. Highly recommended, will definitely go back when in Osaka! ❤️ Note: the line is at the back of the alley a few steps away. Once near the entrance, you can pre-order your food so they can immediately serve you your order and you can just order more once you’re seated. Seats are limited and queues are long but definitely worth the wait. :)
