Welcome to Haruki Ramen & Izakaya
Experience authentic Japanese flavors at Haruki Ramen & Izakaya, Norwalk's neighborhood izakaya where slow-simmered ramen, sizzling ishiyaki wagyu, fresh sushi, and shareable small plates bring people together. Pair your meal with premium sake or Japanese whisky and enjoy a warm, relaxed dining experience perfect for lunch, dinner, or a night out with friends.
Three broths. Slow-simmered.
Tonkotsu, shoyu, or kombu — each broth is built from scratch and finished with housemade chili oil. Ramen the way it tastes in Japan. Available at Haruki.
The izakaya beyond the ramen
Small plates, shared tables, cold sake. Takoyaki with dancing bonito, rayu wontons in chili oil, wagyu on a hot stone — this is what a Japanese pub actually looks like.
From the kitchen
Japanese roots. Local ritual.
Haruki began as a love letter from Yokohama — and landed in the heart of SoNo. It is the Japanese pub Norwalk never had, and now cannot imagine without.
40+ sakes. Japanese whisky.
Hatozaki, Iwai, Yamazaki — the bottle list goes deep. Pour alongside whatever you're eating, or just start there.
What our guests are saying
The vibe was particularly quiet the evening my bestie and I went. We had a variety of entrees….that fried chicken …omg….smh…literally amazing. I had a salmon bowl which was so fresh and tasty. We also had drinks, amazing too! The waiter was super pleasant and kept checking on us. The restroom could have been a bit more today but overall a 10/10. Looking forward to going back and exploring that menu a bit more….maybe a lot more 😊

First time here and we were very happy with all of the food. I go to a lot of ramen places and usually leave disappointed but this one is very good, the ramen had lots of flavor and the appetizers were great as well. I generally don't like tofu but had the tofu appetizer today and loved it--amazing flavor in the sauce. I will definitely be coming back again.

Had the pleasure of being served by Chris. They weren’t open for another 20min but he didn’t send me off. Welcome me and sat me. (Thank you for that) I started with the sashimi platter, fresh, delicious and exactly what I’d hoped for. My entree was the tempura fish tacos. Mouth watering, crispy, yummy!! Definitely a winner. Also they have happy hour 4-6pm daily and All day Thursdays.

Pretty good food! I ordered the spicy miso ramen and substituted for chicken. The chicken was not very good, but I enjoyed the rest of the ramen! My friend with celiac’s disease also had no trouble finding accommodations for her needs. We also met the owner, Ben, who was very friendly.
