"The White Mocha Latte(16oz) was perfect, a little on the small size but I'm just not familiar enough with the cup size, would 100% order again! The Moa'ajanat (Savory Pastries) was AMAZING super light and a little bit of sweetness to the dough, the Milk Cake/Tres Leches looks delicious (I haven't tried it yet) overall I would fully recommend this spot!"
"This was my first time ordering from Haraz, and already they are my new favorite coffee shop! I ordered two of the Moa'ajanat (Savory Pastries), one Kubbah and one Kaaeak Nabulsi Cheese, and a Saffron Latte (16oz). They were both delicious and seasoned wonderfully, but the kaaeak nabulsi was perfection. The saffron latte seemed a little small, especially for the price, at first but then I realized that I'm used to ordering larger sizes and remembered how expensive saffron is and it makes sense. Either way, it's one of the best lattes I've ever had, and I loved that I could see minced saffron threads in the latte showing that actual saffron was used and not some type of syrup. All together, this made for a satisfying, light breakfast, and I am already looking forward to placing my next order."

"My wife and I made a group order this morning. And The Human Bean did something that merchants hardly do. They wrote our individual names on our cups. It may seem little or simple. But when ordering coffee, it can be difficult to tell the difference between her order or mine. The simple things can make the difference between coming back or not. That and my Mexi Mocha was delicious. The order also came with chocolate covered coffee beans. Given the small details and the quality of the coffee, I will order again. "
"Soooo good I made my Pumpkin Mocha all snazzy and its delicious!! I also got a chocolate chip Muffin Tops that's too DIE for it's so yummy and just soft and the icing on top just adds to it so well! I also got a Biscotti, the Hazelnut Zebra and I seriously am just in love. They also added in and I was so happy and excited two coffee beans that are covered with icing (I haven't tried it yet but it smells so good) so I'm not totally sure what it tastes like but this place is a 5000/10 I seriously recommend."

"Best sushi restaurant ever. Their rolls are huge!! They're hand rolls? Also huge!!! Packaged beautifully. I am obsessed with their California (HR) literally never had a hand roll so big and filled. Their California rolls are so good too and everything just tastes sooo fresh. I add fresh salmon and lemon on top to make a "49er" version sushi roll since I'm from the Bay Area and those are my favorite and ugh it's so delicious. I love ordering from here. I've had their Cali Fry Roll as well and it was actually my first time trying it and goodness! They again, the rolls are so big that it's worth the price, and it tasted like heaven! Their Miso Soup is excellent. What I like about this place is you can remove sauces, add things to the roll as you wish which is super rare to find a place that accommodates! My parents have loved their Jalapeño Bombs. They highly recommend them. They never skimp out, for example I've gotten their Chicken Teriyaki Bowl with just rice before and holy cow I was able to have some for lunch AND dinner and it still was super fresh! Love their Philly Roll, their Sake Maki, and Dragon Roll. My sister loves their Ebi Nigiri, my mom loves their Maguro Nigiri, and I love love their fresh Sake Nigiri! Their Sake Don is incredible again this place gives so much and doesn't skimp out, which I LOVE!!! I do wish they sold their alcohol on here as well, I went in once and loved their Japanese Fruity Sake! So wonderful and not too sweet. Literally just right. They also have Shirley Temples which I love! Anyways 100000/10 place. A million stars. I love this place and it's the best ever."
"Everything was delicious and we'll definitely go there again! The bento boxes were very generous. I could only eat half of mine. The meat was so tender and juicy. The short ribs were the best my husband has ever had!"

Rave Reviews
"First time trying Umami Ramen and I can definitely say I will be ordering it again. I tried the R2. Spicy Tonkotsu (Thin Noodles), the Onigiri - Tuna, and the Oolong Tea (bottle). The Spicy Tonkotsu ramen was a 10/10 for me! I ordered it mild and itstill had a spicy kick but the broth was rich and flavorful. The Pork Chashu was tender too! The noodles were bouncing which was a fun surprise being that I've never had ramen noodles this texture before. The Tuna Onigiri was a nice complement to the spiciness of the ramen broth. It was a first time trying onigiri for me so I wasn't sure what to expect. The rice had a stickiness to it and the tuna was flavorful and not dry at all which I will say I was expecting but it was so good! Lastly, the Oolong Tea to wrap up the whole meal. It was tasty, light and my ideal choice of beverage to wash down a delicious meal. For a first time experience with Umami Ramen, it gets a 10/10 from me. The food's quality, the tastes, and overall presentation were remarkable. I will definitely be back. Strongly suggest! "
"This was so good. Had A4. Gyoza and 1/2 of the R2. Spicy Tonkotsu (Thin Noodles) with added T4. Corn and T14. Cabbage. I then saved the other half and the extra T1. Roasted Pork Chashu (3 Pieces) will be lunch or dinner tomorrow (the soup is separate so the noodles will not get soggy)."
