“I love this place despite the smaller space and limited hours. Don't go for a service experience, this is much more casual mom and pop w/ one sushi chef but it works out.
This five start rating is all about the freshmess of the Sushi. Some of the “more creative” Sushi places in Providence are good and have jazzier spaces but they don’t have the freshness level of Ran Zan. I have TWICE had another customer state this is the only place they get Sushi when not in Japan. As far as Providence I have done them all many times over and this is the best.“

“My friend, Scott, took me to Haruki last night for dinner, knowing that I’m OBSESSED with sushi, the same way he is. He insisted that it would be worth the drive from Rochester, MA (my location) to Cranston, raving, “It’s the BEST!” and promising me that I won’t be disappointed. I’ll tell you this… he was not wrong!! From the sushi, to the service… A++++ Their entire staff is full of joyous energy and are super on top of everything. It’s so refreshing to see a place of business full of an entire group of people all working so wonderfully together. Getting their ish done like champs all while laughing, smiling, helping, but most importantly, they are all HAPPY. That happiness is infectious. Looking around the restaurant, all you could see was a place full of love, though and through. Our waiter, Tony, was SUCH a sweetheart. Though it was a busy night, he made time to chat with us throughout service. He knows Scott since he’s been a long-time customer. At the end of dinner, Tony truly showed his appreciation to Scotty for being a valued customer for so long by treating us to one of their most delicious bottles of saké, on the house. It was so smooth and delicious. Between the sushi being absolutely phenomenal… I’m talking OUT OF THIS WORLD (and I’m a sushi snob and a half), the rocking staff, the pleasant atmosphere and the fantastic prices, you really can’t beat this gem of a place. It is most definitely a new favorite!“

“Excellent and very fresh.“

“Really enjoyed the offering they have including make your own Ramen they were heavy if you have two. Sakura milk tea was so good it had hint of cherry blossoms even better if you got them with tapioca pearls. A staff at the holiday Inn Theodore Francis Green Airport recommended this to us.
Neighborhood around the restaurant can be compared to Madison Morris County, NJ Drew University vicinity“

“We love going to Lim's for its consistently fresh and delicious food and friendly service -- thank you!“

“The girls working there were kind and my son wanted me to eat there and treated me to my first Korean food 👍😁.“

“Found this little hidden gem on our way out of Prov on a Sunday afternoon.Ordered: Yoo Roll (45), Volcano Roll (13), & Rainbow Roll (11) also the Thai Ice TeaThe sushi was SO delicious and fresh and the presentation was beautiful. Tea was also good.Atmosphere is so simple & quiet, a relaxing place to wait for your sushi.I can see this place is busy with online/phone orders and door dash, the inside service was a bit slow, (hence the 4 stars) but once we got that delicious platter we forgot about the wait. It was worth the wait“

“your Rock Shrimp appetizer was amazing the Tempura shrimp was perfect.“
