Ha-Lu Japanese Tapas Restaurant reviews
61 Had take away vege tempura bento and chicken teriaki bento. Terrible slop, solid lumps of vege tempura, almost inedible sloppy dumplings, and strange crumbed objects. Teriaki chicken was Ok.
A once only experience. Save some money and get a prepacked salad at the supermarket for better tasting food.
Food are so basic and few of them are actually bit disappointing. Sashimi was very small served and doesn’t have many to choose. Beef are too raw and chewy. Service was even disappointing and really slow. We were there for nearly one hour to have our main dish. And I was told they were running out of kids cutlery, soft drink been sold out either when I wanted to place an order.
Basically won’t recommend to my friends.
Been going there for years. Food is good but they don't value long term customers. 2 weeks ago we made a reservation but on arrival I requested not to sit by the entrance as usual but was told not possible as they have a rigid booking system. They use to be able to comy. I requested for table 12 and was told it was not possible. Another family who did not have any reservations was able to have the table 12. So what is the point of reservations? The fact that a walk in family without reservation can have preference over my requests in front of us tells me alot about their treatment. I feedback to them twice but was told must specify table numbers for future reservations.
I have been buying takeaway here for sometime. Unfortunately Sunday night I organised an uber delivery as I had injured my back. I only live a 2 min walk from venue. My food arrived 50 mins later stone cold stuck to their new containers.
After a few emails & a few days later still no reply. Guess they're happy to take my money but not courteous enough to even reply to an email. Sorry Halu. I will never be ordering food from you again.
Had a home delivery and they sent us Goyza’s with completely raw pastry and raw chicken. My daughter has just eaten some and food poisoning may follow!
Staff were friendly, nice location. However, the food was rather disappointing. The beef was almost raw so I asked the waitress if they can heat it up. She was reluctant to do that and asked if I can just leave the beef on the side on the warm pot. I said I did but it is still raw. So she took it back to the kitchen to recook for us. When the beef came out this time, it cooks a little bit better but still very much raw with running blood and chewy. The other dishes that we ordered (which I cant remember all the names) were just average. Both me and my partner felt really sick after the food, we came home and I literally threw up on the driveway. Such a bad dining experience
Food is good
But The wait time for Uber eats is appalling
And
Paying top price to receive my order after 1and 1/2 hours and cold was disgraceful
Uber driver on bike stopping on way with other orders is not good enough if u can’t service people properly
With that company
Stop doing it
It was horrible
Had a really disappointing dinner from this Japanese restaurant the meal didn't have much flavour and the tofu was a weird flavour the best part was the chicken and dumplings looking forward to giving this restaurant a second chance ordered through Uber eats will be attending in person next time I had a beef Bento being the main component could have had a bit more beef on the plate tasted similar to Beef jerky presented in a well separated container if the owner reads this I am open to adjusting my review in the future)
Our least favourite of the three Halu Sister restaurants. The scallop nanban and beef tataki was lack lustre. The blue spot emperor, ramen and tuna toro egg onsen fared better but when judged against other Japanese establishments in Perth I would consider it average. Certainly not worth the price you pay (>$120 for 2ppl). I would give this place a miss.
I know rocking up at 8: 15pm is late, hence i politely asked if there is a chance i could still grab a bite and would have accepted a no.
Instead I was faced with a rather hesitant, almost impolite 'yeah okay' which initially was off putting but hey, we all have bad days, so no dramas.
'Tender beef' as written in menu was unfortunately chewy and a tad dry for what it is advertised in the menu, some items in the dish were missing (as per image displayed in menu)
Miso soup was okay, tiramisu is unfortunately quite sugar loaded and taste filled, i'd much rather enjoy a medium sweet delightful dessert instead.
All in all for a first visit just meh, i'm unsure if the chef or waiters were just tired or if my dishes in particular were off that day.
I'd recommend to focus on dish and service improvements all around to make people leave with a full tummy and a smile in their face.
I have only tried the food from ubereats. Food is good but.when i went into the store today to try dining it, i realised the location is hard to find parking, really small space, could not walk in to dine in and it's way too busy even for takeaway. They told me that i have to wait 35 minutes for takeaway: (
So probably book in advance or order on the delivery apps. Food is good though.
After being talked up for months we finally went down to try some amazing Japanese. Unfortunately the reality didn't live upto our expectations.
The beef dish was fantastic but the others didn't hit the mark for any of us. The waitress spilled our wine on the table and one of us got wine on our white shirt as well without offering a discount or something to compensate for the accident.
Not sure we'll go back with so many great Japanese restaurants nearby in Perth.
Best value Japanese in town. Always good service and delicious food. We go here regularly and even took our guests there for our wedding.
Absolutely love this place! Japanese tapas executed extremely well. So many delicious dishes topped off with friendly efficient service. Looking forward to another visit
If you want Japan in your plate, this place does not disappoint. They have some of the best Japanese dishes I had. Though the serving time took a little longer than expected but worth the wait. Will definitely go back.
It’s hard to find good Japanese around the Yokine area and Ha-Lu is definitely a place to try. If you don’t mind some fusion then it’s a great place to eat. Food was amazing even tho the wait was a bit long as they had to cater for ubereats orders.which we didn’t mind on the end.
Super tasty, great service, and really reasonable prices for the quality you get. Around $40 per person
Very attentive staff. You can tell the authencity of this place from the moment you step in the restaurant. Can’t find any fault to this place. Food tasted good and fresh. My only opinion is though traditional, the selection on the dining menu is very limited. Would love to come back more often again if the menu can be updated with more choices.
Love this place but dropped one star for food as we prefer our pork belly with crackle.it was more of a pulled pork. The staff are attentive, it's smaller in size which gives it a great atmosphere. Worth the visit.
Trying this place for first time. Nice, small and comfy restaurant. Friendly service. Good quality and flavor of Japanese Tapas. Love the sashimi of the day. And wont hesitate to come back to enjoy some more.
