Located in Little Italy (or as I like to call it EATaly), Harumana makes meals that are both adorable and delicious!

Their creative kitchen offers a variety of sushi, noodle dishes, and character-based steam buns for your choosing (made daily in limited quantities). I’ve had the same waiter twice, Mike, whose friendliness and knowledge of the menu is one of the reasons I keep going back.

Parking in Little Italy can be a challenge depending on the time of day, but if you stay focused you can likely score a spot on the street (valet parking in the local area is always an option for impatient people like my husband ;) )

The casual space is perfect for a first date or small group gatherings, with menu prices ranging from $4-13.
