    I highly recommend this restaurant. It’s the best one I’ve been to in Tampa. Everything from the food was perfection to the live music. Service was so quick that our food was out in 10 minutes. We had an outstanding waiter and the staff in general was amazing. They even left me a little birthday note at the table. If you are in the area, you can’t miss this gem.

    The Hai Ku restaurant is very convenient to the Tampa Theater and our brunch was good, overall. The Crispy Orange Shrimp was not appetizing—cold and soggy. The crab cake Benedict was delicious! The sushi rolls were acceptable—the “torch” effect isn’t something I would order again because we could taste the propane. We were told that bao buns were not available because the “steamer is broken” but we were served edamame…microwave? Ok. I asked for a bowl if steamed white rice and was reminded that the steamer was broken… Yet, I had rice in my sushi. I was ultimately served a bowl of white rice, but do not know how it was prepared. Overall, Hai Ku is a good solution for a quick meal at downtown Tampa especially if you have tickets to a show.

    Family dinner with adult children who love sushi and Japanese food. Had a varied selection that came out quickly. All great food with a very nice presentation. Inside decor was beautiful, but we usually prefer outdoor. Very pleasant. One of my favorite restaurants.

    Went for my daughter’s birthday, had reservations for 6, but brought an extra and the place didn’t fuss! Minimal menu but very good! Kinda pricey. I was disappointed that they didn’t bring my daughter any fireworks and free ice cream and sing happy birthday to her like they did for another patron. For 7 of us, we spent around 340.00 for two appetizers, 7 entrees and 5 cocktails. We over dressed, so I’d say it’s Saturday night casual, not a dress and ties place. It’s a special occasion place for us. Not a regular Friday or Saturday night thing.

    Such a great vibe and excellent food as always! The only thing would be the “Lobster Ramen” is more of a seafood ramen. There was maybe 1 skewer of lobster and then 2 shrimps, octopus, and veggies. There was more of all other seafood than the lobster, but it was still delicious

    This is our second time dining at haiku. I went back for the cod, which was delicious the first time. This time the chef decided to put in a lot of red pepper. It totally overwhelmed the entire dish. Cod is a very mild fish. The red peppers took over the flavor of the cod, the udon noodles And the celery root at the bottom. Could not taste anything but red pepper. Red pepper is not listed as an ingredient with the cod. I guess the chef just decided to throw it in the dish. We asked for regular water. Sam, our waiter neglected to mention that the water he brought us was $3.50 a glass. We didn’t drink the rest of the water in the container. But he should’ve told us. The martini was $13. And then a two dollar charge to make it into a martini. The shrimp was good as an appetizer. I can’t imagine why the chef didn’t know better than to put red pepper in with cod. Very disappointing now I don’t think I will ever go back. Nor will I recommend this restaurant. Our waiter offered to bring me a fresh dish of cod. But my husband and I were on a date. He was already eating his dinner. So I would’ve sat there while he ate. And then he would’ve sit there while I ate. I was surprised there was not a better resolution offered to us. The restaurant was not busy we went there early. I don’t even think the manager was notified as to how unhappy I was.

    Muy bueno!!! La comida muy rica. El lugar está hermoso!!!!! El ambiente me súper encanto. Soy latina y pusieron mucha música para latinos. Lo ame. Solo hubo un plato, que lo vi súper sobrevalorado. Pero por lo demás 10/10. Mi sushi estaba genial, el pulpo estaba súper. En fin 10/10. Solo hay una parte de la carta que no recomendaría que pidieran y es esta: wood fired yakitori. Literal pagamos 15$ por 3 camarones 🤣. Pero lo demás estuvo muy bien.

    This establishment is absolutely gorgeous inside with great energy and music. I truly enjoy the ambiance! Unfortunately, the food is overpriced for the quality and portion size. The sesame shrimp was super disappointing, and everything else was mediocre. I did come here for brunch one time before, and the food was significantly better that visit, not sure what happened this time around.

    First time coming here after seeing so many reels and tiktoks and it truly is a very aesthetically pleasing place. Not only was the ambiance really nice, but the food was AMAZING! And they had some of the best drinks my partner and I have had in all of Tampa. Definitely recommend trying their signature cocktails and any rice dish! The sushi was high quality and the music was some good throwbacks to old school reggaeton and bad bunny at the time. Definitely my new favorite place to hangout with friends or even go on a date night.

    The server barely tended to us. We tried to flag down several people for help and we were ignored by all of them. I put on the reservation that we were dining there for my friends birthday and they didn’t even acknowledge it. The Ramen was extremely bland and didn’t have any flavor to it. 3 of us ordered it and had the same exact issue. Ambiance is nice but I wouldn’t go back.

    Atmosphere was beautiful, however it was very loud (mix of people and music), the service was attentive but the food and cocktails were mediocre , unfortunately. The food came out very fast, appetizers and shortly after our dinner , very rushed and definitely not made to order (warmed up dishes). The cocktails took a while and they were not great for the price .
