Haiku Japanese Bistro

Right next to my apartment, good food. Sad it is closed now.

I would gave a ZERO star If I could，the middle aged waitress I met is extremely terrible！It seems like I pay money just in order to gain lots of rude，dirty words. She is not friendly at all while she make us order，when check out I definitely didn't gave her 15% tips for lunch. Can't believe for demanding tips she said “never come back again if you don't have money for offering tips" when I said that's due to her service attitude，she reply with such dirty words in Chinese and said 15％ is what she deserving. The other waitress just stand there and look at us silently. NEVER BACK AGAIN

One of my top places for tasty japanese food. Super savory. The staff was very welcoming and sociable.

The food I got from my order was EXTREMELY underwhelming. The shrimp in my hibachi dinner was heavily overcooked, the fried rice seemed cheap, the clear mushroom soup barely had any flavor, the California roll was bland.... The only thing that was decent was the filet in the dinner, but even that was more medium well then medium rare like I ordered. It was no where near worth the ~$30 I spent.There's far better Japanese places in the twin cities then this. I do not recommend wasting your money here.

We came late at night after my daughter’s basketball game and it was just okay. Service was extremely slow, and odd we thought because there were plenty of employees standing around and it was well before closing time. The temperature in the restaurant was very cold. The food was pretty good, but for the price I don’t think we would come here again.

I got takeout due to the virus. Got the sushi, hibachi chicken and green tea mochi. The sushi was good but basic for the price. The chicken was dry, rubbery and tasteless. The mochi was obviously not made in store and was inedible. Not a good experience.

Had the ramen. Loved the ramen.Service was prompt and courteous. Lighting is soft, ambient sound, reasonable prices.

Visited here with my son who attends the U of M and is a huge fan of this place! (Very close to campus.) I honestly never thought I would be a fan of sushi, but this is absolutely delicious. Nice variety of options. Service was great. Highly recommend!

Great server, lots of open tables. Hostess not the mostest. Don't understand why the sushi rolls here have so limited flavor. Ok value, ok taste, ok spot. Great location here at U of Mn before the ballet class at the Northrup.

This place is first-rate and broad, the meals was yummy and the rates were very inexpensive. quickly, effective service and very attentive staff. Recommended.

This spot simply knows how to treat their clients. Constantly with a very friendly approach. The food is reasonably priced, always yummy and neat.

I ordered a special Ramen and it is extremely difficult to eat. The actual noodles seem doughy, the meat doesn't smell very fresh and it is probably the least flavourful ramen I have had. I asked if it was fresh and the waiter said everything was fresh and I didn't have to worry. I haven't had any of their other items and maybe this was bad luck but I don't see myself coming back here again.

We met with friends at this spot for a meeting. This restaurant was recommended to us by a friend. Well, it was a winning. the staff were so friendly and we had a great feeling. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Highly recommended.

I ordered from Grubhub last night and my driver and I waited for over an hour past it’s pick up time. When my driver confronted the restaraunt she was told that they are prioritizing in house customers! Which is completely unreasonable service should be first come first serve... just because you cannot see us order doesn’t mean we’re not customers. There were other delivery drivers also waiting upwards of an hour and staff were not working on those meals until I called around 7:30 asking why my driver has been sitting at the restaurant for so long. Secondly, after reading many poor reviews of this establishment I would probably guess the “in house” diners were also put on a wait due to poor service and staff. I will NOT be eating here again. The food was good but not worth the subpar customer experience. DO NOT recommend.

Waited an hour for one sushi roll and a side of fried rice. Watched the workers sit around and do nothing for half an hour. Once they realized I was still sitting there after half an hour they finally started to make my food. Sub par sushi, very small portions. Fried rice was halfway decent
