Haiku Tampa

I’ve been to this restaurant multiple times for both brunch and dinner, and it never disappoints. The sushi is always fresh and flavorful, and the desserts are a perfect way to end the meal. The overall food quality is excellent, with a well balanced menu that offers something for everyone. The service has consistently been attentive and friendly, making each visit enjoyable. Whether dining indoors or outdoors, the ambiance adds to the experience, making it a great spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. Looking forward to coming back again!

Place was packed for sure service was a little slow and confused It’s a little too dark for my liking. Food was good. Octopus was really good shrimp app was good my pork belly was cold but the fried rice was definitely a good dish sushi was good as well. I would give them another try for sure to try a few more things for a better review.

Came here for a friends birthday to checkout their drag brunch this past Sunday. The visit didn't start great... Sat outside which was fine as it was a beautiful day but we didn't even receive water to the table until about 20 minutes sitting there and had to ask for a server. Lots of waiting happened, drinks... apps... etc. Ordered the dumplings (fried), spicy edamame and the breakfast bao. All very good. Eventually the manager came over to us and explained that there was a no show inside if we wanted... naturally we did not hesitate... full redemption! The seats were great, mimosas were flowing and our meal was great. My friend had a blast for her bday celebration and that's what mattered the most.

Five-star ramen. Mesmerizing interior. We ordered off of the happy hour menu (4-6pm) enjoying the shishito peppers, dumplings, tempura shrimp and sushi roll-of-the-day. For my non-meat eaters, the curry is vegan and delicious. Matthew is the best server! Wish we saved room for dessert because a chocolate dome of some sort caught our eyes :) Will be back!

Haiku is a fun little restaurant. Fairly busy on a Saturday night. I suspect if you want to eat indoors, you have to make a reservation pretty early on. We sat outside, which was not bad considering the temperature and they had patio heaters running. Outdoor seating was a little uncomfortable. Sort of those chairs that make you want to eat and leave quickly so that they can put new paying customers in your seats. Food was amazing. My chicken udan noodles were an excellent meal filled with all of the goods. The American Wagyu beef is an excellent meal choice for someone with a stapled stomach or otherwise able to only eat a small amount yet exceptional in flavor. I also had a seaweed salad which was a little different but still delightful. I don't think it is all seaweed if that concerns you. It is just one ingredient mixed in with the other greens. It was fun sitting on the outdoor patio area watching cars and people go by. Tampa is not as exciting as some other cities, but maybe it is getting there slowly. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Parking in the area runs about $10, so factor that in to your meal. I would definitely come again if I was in the neighborhood.
