Irasshaimaseto Santa Rosa’s newest sushi spot, Haku Sushi.
After a quick rehab of the former Sapporo Restaurant, new owners have put a fresh spin on traditional Japanese cuisine.

Staples like vegetable tempura, agedashi and California rolls get special touches (minimalist service ware, a bit of fluttering bonito, creamy “crab” salad), but its the rolls that’ll put a smile on your face. Maybe more of a giggle.
Though I’m usually a nigiri purist, everything-but-the-kitchen-sink rolls called “Roll Me A Fatty”, “The Worst Boss I Ever Had”, “The Alex P. Keaton” and the “After School Special” are as fun to eat as they are to order.
Don’t look too hard for a reason behind the shrimp tempura, crab salad and tempura crunchy roll topped with “house sauce” to be called the Silent But Deadly. Perhaps the mystery reveals itself later.
There’s no doubt, however, that asking for a “Funny Feeling Down There” is kind of priceless, no matter what’s inside.
Haku Sushi, 518 Seventh St., Santa Rosa.

Megan, your comments may be accurate as to what you ate, but reading
a review of a sushi place that only mentions vegetables is…..funny.
Went in over the weekend. Will be back for sure. Best atmosphere of any of the Japanese restaurants in SR. Enjoyed what we ordered. And the best part, late night dining!!! Till 11pm on Friday and sat. I hope that lasts!!
Ordered hamach, salmon, escolar sushi, it was amazingly fresh and good. Service was very friendly and nice atmosphere, I would recommend HAKU sushi and for sure will visit often for my lunch, they have more than 16 choices for bento box!!!!
I was very excited to try Haku Sushi. The decor looks the same as Sapporo to me, which is fine. The music inside was really loud and consisted of cheezy 80s love songs.The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly. However, the food was lacking. The vegetable tempura was terrible, I wish I would have said something. The batter was so pasty, I wanted to spit out my broccoli I could barely eat it. The vegetables were inconsistently cooked, carrot perfect, squash raw. I took it home and threw it away. The veggie sushi I had was OK. The complimentary edamame was wonderful, but it lacked salt. I appreciate the extra touches this restaurant gives its guests…but tempura is such an easy dish to prepare, I’m not sure what’s going on with that. I unfortunately will not return.
My wife and I ate here for a second time, my first review I posted never went up though.
So we came for lunch on Tuesday and the food was very good as well as the sushi, the service is just as good. we will be back often.
Thanks for coming by! We’re excited to be a part of the burgeoning SR food scene. Looking forward to bringing many years worth of smiling faces and full bellies to the folks of Sonoma County and the north bay. For all you who used to come to Sapporo, stop on by and say “hi” to Han or Sue; we’d love to show you the new interior and growing menu here at Haku! –han
