I have always passed this place up and finally decided to stop! I was excited at the fact they had an outside patio bc the weather was so refreshing and nice. Its not a very big place but very cute. We were able to sit immediately which is always a place. The waitress was nice but on the slow side. The menu reminds me of Royal House Sushi, I'm not sure if they ate the same owners. But the food was fast, fresh, and tasty. Its definitely worth trying especially on a nice day. You wont be disappointed and the ramen was bursting with flavor. read more

We made reservations so no waiting. We chose to sit inside and enjoy watching the Sushi being made. Our server Cathy was absolutely amazing. Got our drinks right away, followed by our appetizers. The flavored Lychee Sake wad very flavorful and paired lovely with our entree selections. The Miso Soup, Pork Gyoza, Ginger Salad, Clear Soup, Shrimp Fried Rice and Chicken Satay were all prepared perfectly. Our Sushi rolls encompassed a variety of rolls. Geisha Kiss, Twister Roll, Snow Crab, Hidden Dragon and G6 Roll were all savory and packed with flavor. read more

Perfect sushi and Asian craving experience on a Sunday. Your takeout service was on point as always today. Thank you!

Yes! Yes! Yes! We landed here by chance. They were open, we got a great parking spot, and they had a ramp for a member of our party. We loved it. We got ramen, hibachi, sushi, and spring rolls. The server was beyond gracious and accommodating. We will return on a future trip to NOLA. read more

I got takeout at Haiku after a bad day. The fried rice was tasty... although I admit it didn't have enough egg for me. Couldn't find any in there actually? Perhaps they though I was vegan since I'd ordered the vegetable version. I ended up scrambling and and adding some of my own which was an easy fix. The crunchy roll was nice and plump. It was a bit too fishy for me... crab salad is usually milder, but it had great texture so I did finish it. Overall rating. Rice: 4.5 stars. Crunchy roll: 3 stars. read more

Came for the coolinary special which was an amazing deal! 5 courses + 1 glass of wine for $36. We enjoyed the cucumber salad, edamame and gyoza to start, then a couple of rolls and desserts to finish. I'm not a big dessert person but the fried cheesecake was to die for! As for the sushi, I must admit, it's not the freshest in town, but it's still alright. read more

I ordered the Gyoza (5 pieces) as a side through Uber Eats, and they were fantastic! The potstickers had a subtle hint of ginger, which added a nice depth to the flavor. They were perfectly pan-fried--lightly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a deliciously savory filling. I'd definitely order them again! read more

I highly recommend Haiku Sushi if you want great sushi woth simple surroundings. The sushi rolls were fantastic. In addition to the rolls I photographed, we also ordered the fried calamari roll, which was yum in the tum. Another great thing about Haiku is that they have a full bar, whom is always a plus. The service was very attentive and friendly. The ambiance is definitely lacking, but the food and the cocktails make up for it. I highly recommend Haiku sushi for a low key, but delicious dinner. read more

Food is exquisite, especially the Ramen! The owner and servers are always friendly. The Japanese mural on the patio is really impressive!

Visiting from out of town and our local friends said this is the best sushi around. Fortunately we were already in the area and it fit the quick bite we were searching for today. You have to find street parking nearby which shouldn't be the biggest issue. There's a really nice outdoor patio eating area which looks modern then there's a very traditional Japanese decor interior. I ordered the G6 which is everything I hoped it would be in flavor. My ol' lady ordered the white ninja and spicy tuna. The spicy tuna was an OK filler but the ninja stood out. The Wasabi sauce really creeps up on you and takes a solid 15 seconds before you notice it. Be warned that it has some serious bite! I loved it and highly recommend it. Just be warned because I don't want to see any complaints about it if that's not your speed. I'm sure there are easier training wheel type rolls for the weak at heart lol.. The service could've been a lot better tbh.. the lady didn't really check on us and the fried rice that we ordered literally came after all of our rolls were consumed. Overall it was a good experience that I'd suggest giving this place a try. Everything seemed pretty fresh too, read more

Looking for a new sushi spot and found this on yelp. It's located next to New York Pizza. I ordered the food online from their website. I ordered two rolls. Everything was just okay. Again another place where if you're craving sushi it will hit the spot. I will try again in restaurant. read more

Haiku Sushi - Spicy Tuna Roll and specialty roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

Sometimes, you're craving a basic avocado cucumber roll... I find myself in this situation often and Haiku is one of those places we hit up from time to time. They do not have creative rolls for those of us who don't eat fish, nor does it appear that they have any dedicated vegan options on the menu. Normally I'd just give a basic menu like this three stars. Like yeah, you can get an avo/cuc roll at any sushi joint... but the waitress we had here the other night was so lovely, I can't leave this review at a mere "OK" and feel right about it. I had asked for sesame seeds on my roll (not sure why these days it's not standard in NOLA, but unless you ask, you shall not receive) and she apologized profusely for forgetting and then brought me a little bowl full of them. And she was generally just so nice and attentive. I really appreciate perfect service! I also really love their deep front patio, perfect for nice weather evenings and the inside has nice ambience as well. And they have prosecco that's cold and by the mini bottle. read more

A friend suggested this place and I decided to check it after driving past it multiple times. I decided to give it a go for lunch on a Thursday and I must admit it was basically empty. You have an option to sit inside or outside. I decided to sit outside a large the weather was really good. The server brought us waters and menus quite quickly and my oh my was there so many options. They have a great lunch special bento box which consists of sushi, noodles, soup or salad. I didn't order the special but I did see another table order it and it was quite a decent size. Looked good! I decided to do el la carte and ordered the Tom yum soup and calamari as an appetizer. The soup was flavorful and the calamari delicious. My only complaint is that they don't give you much of the calamari. The dipping sauce that accompanied the calamari was a hit as well. For entrees we had the sex and the city sushi roll as well as the salmon Californian rolls. The sex and the city roll was so good. The other one was ok. Nothing to brag about really. The sushi tasted fresh and was a good size. They also have the option of regular soy sauce and reduced sodium soy sauce. Their signature sushi rolls are the way too go. However, I did notice that many of them contained mango? I am not sure why, but if you are not a mango fan, you might want to ask them to remove it. Another shout out is that service is super fast. So if you need a quick meal before going back to the office, then this place won't disappoint I would definitely be back to try the lunch special! read more

This is not a fancy place but the food and service were on point! There are three eating areas, a small bar in front, a covered outdoor patio, and a spartan climate controlled indoor dining area in the rear. My only critique (and I almost ignored it and gave it 5 stars) was that the indoor seating area smelled fishy when we entered. Maybe I shouldn't complain about that because it is a sushi place, but it was a bit unnerving. Still wants the food came and my nose adjusted, everything was beautiful. read more

My experience here was interesting. The place is very clean & the food is good. However, I will note that the food that I received was completely different from what I ordered. I ordered a teriyaki chicken bento box with a substitution for the California roll with a crunchy roll. When the bento box came out I was given a chicken katsu with a California roll. I didn't complain or tell the waiter because everyone else in my group had already gotten their food and begun eating so I didn't want to delay the group additionally. There was also no one else in the restaurant when my group sat down except for workers. The food given to me was still good though just not what I ordered! Something that made it even more odd was that when I paid the bill it had exactly what I ordered from the beginning! The waiter was very nice it was just a weird experience. read more

Good sushi and drinks. Kinda loud and cold inside. Service could be a little more attentive.

Love this place! The prices are affordable and the food is delicious. Have never sat inside, but my to-go orders are always quick and correct, but most importantly DELICIOUS. They have a super cute balcony and it seems like a great place for a chill sushi lunch or dinner. Also love their lunch specials! read more

This place might be under the same management of Royal Sushi because the menu is the same. Which is fine to me because I loved Royal Sushi. Haiku Sushi is a lot more intimate though. Customer service was great too. I forgot my to go plate and our server came running out the establishment to bring it to me. Now THAT'S going above and beyond. Sushi was delicious just like Royal Sushi's is. read more

I have been to this location many times under different restaurants. This was my first visit to this location as a Japanese restaurant. They decorated the restaurant nicely. They have a very nice patio, which is away from street noise and output. The wait staff is extremely nice, polite, and prompt. They have a very wide variety of choices, a large menu to please almost everyone. The food was good with minor exceptions. Background techno music was uncomfortable. Who chooses background music for restaurants? read more

Haiku Sushi - Chirashi Entree - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

On a chilly, rainy night what could be better than a hot bowl of ramen?! I initially went to my go to spot to get takeout but the whole block was dark..im guessing there was a good ole Nola power outage. As I took the sad stroll down Magazine, this place had a flashing ramen sign so I figured why not. My first thought was to get it to go..being covid season AND I still dont have a proper ramen bowl at home. Ate my last one out of a mixing bowl..dont judge me. Lol. Anywho..the place was fairly empty and all covid regulations were in full force so I decided to dine in. They have an outdoor seating area with heaters but it was too chilly and rainy so I took a table inside. Only 1 other table of 2 was seated on the other side of restaurant which eased my comfort level a bit. I ordered the ramen with pork and it came out really quickly. Everything was good except the fish cake...im just not a fan so I should have probably left that out. The noodles werent the best I have ever had but they did compliment everything well. They offer a nice selection of sushi as well so I would like to visit again to try a few more items. Friendly and helpful wait staff. read more

This place is very underrated in mine and my boyfriend's opinions!! We have gone here twice, the first time with some friends, and their food is great! It's a perfect spot when craving sushi, hibachi, or authentic ramen! We were confused each time when we walked in and saw the place is usually slow/empty. The restaurant itself is a very cute place and has an awesome outdoor eating area too. Service for us was good both times we have been and I would recommend this place to anyone in the area for a good lunch/dinner spot. Also the prices in my opinion are pretty reasonable, two people can eat for under $40-$50 for, again, good quality food :) read more

I love this hole in the wall sushi spot. I had been following them on social media and finally decided to give them a try. My friend and I decided to give it a try Saturday around 5pm. Upon arrival hostess sat us immediately. Within a few min our drinks and appetizers came out. The gyoza was very good. Our food came out within 15 min. Not bat at all. Service and food were amazing. Food was very fresh . The waitress was very attentive, patient . I love that they have the seating just overlooking the people that are passing by but there is shade covering you . Overall the food, service, price point was great! I will def be back read more

Excellent sushi at a very reasonable price. Service is always excellent. Nice unpretentious neighbor restaurant. You have to pay a lot more in New Orleans for slightly better or fancier sushi. I recommend this place all the time and eat there every week, since it is in our neighborhood. The owner is usually there and very attentive. read more

Yeeeessss! A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to find delish sushi near home, and now I've found some super close to my office. Haiku, you complete me! I called in my order and it was ready about 20 minutes later. My order was fresh, exactly as ordered, and so tasty! I had a crouching tiger roll, and it pounced right into my mouth! Seriously - it didn't last long on the plate. It was shrimp tempura, snow crab, avocado, tuna tataki, spicy mayo, ponzu sauce and scallions. I think the man who handed my order over was the owner. Very kind, upbeat guy. Give them a try y'all! #yelplove read more

I wanted to love this place. I did love this place. But then I got home and found a word in the chicken fried rice I had taken to go. And yes it definitely came from the restaurant bc this was only like 15 minutes after we got home. The place is so cute. Way more seating than you think just seeing the small restaurant front on Magazine. The outside was packed but it was hot so we wanted to sit inside anyway. Service was fast and our waitress was so nice. My husband got 3 sushi rolls and loved all of them. I got the chicken fried rice and loved it. They serve it in this dome shape that helps keep all the rice hot for much longer as you eat it. The best thing was the price. It seemed like we got so much food for just over $30. I wanted to give it more stars so bad but I mean I just can't overlook the worm. read more

The smell of the ramen was very promising. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with shrimp to go. The broth alone was good and had a medium level of spice / heat. The shrimp was well cooked and the egg was nicely boiled. However , the ramen noodles themselves were horrible. They had the consistency of the noodles one gets at a hibachi restaurant. Very off putting. It's a hole in the wall type of bar yet staple place on magazine street. Would not come again. read more

Haiku Sushi - Spicy miso ramen - Sushi Bars Near Me - New Orleans, Louisiana

The highlight of Haiku's menu is their special rolls - the Twister Roll was by far my favorite item ordered. I also enjoyed the spicy tuna roll and miso soup. But the other items we had, like the veggie spring rolls and shrimp dumplings, lacked flavor. The edamame appetizer didn't even have salt on it. We went for coolinary, which was a great deal (5 courses), but the food pacing was very quick and the service was rushed. No more than 10 minutes after our entrees were delivered, we were asked if we wanted a box for our leftovers. The menu has such a wide selection that I'm willing to go again to try other items, but won't be hurrying back. read more
