This is our go to place for Sushi in Riverhead. The owners and staff are extremely attentive and welcoming. We've been here about 5-6 times and we've never been disappointed. Their Sushi and Sashimi dishes plus their special rolls are delicious. They do get very busy and I have never found them to be anything other than nice to patrons. read more

Excellent sushi rolls. The rolls menu is actually too extensive, but everything we tried was delish. Will try some sushi/sashimi next time. I do wish they had a better sake selection by the glass Vs just the one which is not a great one, but the food made up for it. We will definitely be back many times. read more

Haiku Sushi - Tartar - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverhead, New York

My friend and I were visiting Long Island from Queens a few weeks ago for some wine tasting and decided to go to Haiku afterward for sushi. We read all the great reviews and had to give it a try! The sushi was so fresh and delicious (wish I could recall what we ordered - sorry!), and we even had the toto which wasn't on the menu, but my friend who is more experienced than I am with sushi and sashimi had requested it. The owner accommodated us and said that they didn't always get the toto (tuna belly), and let me tell you what a delicacy it was! Literally so fresh it melted in my mouth! We drank cold sake with our food and enjoyed the fried ice cream (heavenly!) for dessert. Thank you to the lovely owners/couple of Haiku Sushi for an excellent first time experience! All of your positive reviews are most certainly warranted! See you soon, Susan. read more

Ken and MaryAnn run a stellar business! Devotion to serving excellent food doesn't even begin to describe. We love their sushi menu but tonight we ordered Chinese food and when I described what I was looking for Kenny was all over it! Fresh veggies with shrimp and brown sauce on the side was so fresh. The al dente vegetables were cooked to perfection. I will not order from anywhere else! Thank you so much! read more

Great service and amazing food !!! Lunch special comes with a soup or salad. Fresh sushi, affordable, family-run business. The ice-cream was a great combo with the fried cheesecake. read more

Went there last Thursday on a lunch date and had a cockroach walk across our table underneath our plates. It was disgusting. I've never experienced that in a restaurant before. We tried to crush it in a napkin and the napkin fell to the floor and the roach crawled out and needed to be stepped on. We let the staff know and they were very dismissive of it. Disgusting read more

We went on a Tuesday night and it seemed like there was only one server. Service was a little slower than expected for a weeknight but food was still good! I would have liked the hibachi fried rice to be a little more fried & beef cubes instead of pepper steak beef. The Manhattan roll was delicious read more

Ordered takeout. Everything tasted fresh and was presented well. I read the negative reviews and was hesitant to give this place a try at first, but I'm glad I did. The King's Roll was very very good! Highly recommend. Next time I'm in the area I will definitely be back! read more

We have wanted to try Haiku for a long time and finally went. The owners couldn't have been more welcoming and informative regather menu. The pork dumplings were light and amazing. Everything we ate was delicious. We can't wait to go back! read more

This sushi spot completely blew us away. From the extremely flavorful miso soup (the best miso soup we've ever had) to the sweet and delicious green tea and to the outstanding sushi, we had a stellar experience. All of the sushi was incredibly fresh and practically melted in your mouth. So flavorful and so fresh. The service was so fast and we felt extremely welcomed. Would definitely return, and are currently recommending this spot to EVERYONE we know! Rate: 10/10. Loved our waitress, she was witty and kind. And Recommended our favorite dish of the night (Panko Crusted Tuna Roll). read more

This is a cute little sushi place in the middle of downtown Riverhead. It had three other tables filled besides me at lunch and the young staff were friendly. The ingredients were subpar all around so there is no way there is a four star here. I will say that the few patrons inside seemed very happy. One women kept repeating how delicious everything was to kids that seemed to not really care and just smiled. Iceberg lettuce with a few shaved carrots and a drizzle of the old ginger sauce thing. Two sushi rolls had that horrid chewy seaweed wrap that is either not fresh or the worst quality like I mentioned in the Hicksville Days Inn sushi place. The salmon roll was heinous.. and was the lowest of the low.... I didn't know salmon could have layers of jelly like fat in betwen the salmon. Regular color, light pinkish white, regular color, light pinkish white fat... and all gooey not firm. So ok...... four stars? lol! drive outside of there and try a good salmon or any roll or salad for heavens sake. When the sweet kid brought my check, I reminded him he forgot to bring over iced water... He looked sheepish.. just kids running it.. but trying. All in all I was glad to sit down and have anything cool on a hot day and sit by the window looking out. read more

Haiku Sushi - Philadelphia roll, spicy salmon roll, and one of the specialty rolls (forgot the name!) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Great service and good food. Reasonable prices. One of only a few Japanese Restaurant in Riverhead.

Recent stay on the Island brought me here for dinner. Welcomed by the woman at the front then sat at a quiet table in the corner. The space is nice and airy and tastefully decorated. Food was fresh and fast and there was plenty of it. Will definitely be back. read more

Excellent sushi! Fresh! Delicious! Definitely worth a visit! The staff was very welcoming. A great find

Ah-maze-ing!!! Some of the best sushi I have ever had. Great Mizo soup, edamame, and the rolls. WOW!! Great, quality ingredients and fun combinations. The Peter Roll was suggested when we went to order a shrimp tempura roll and stole the show! It was was amazing. This is a must try for any sushi lover. read more

Haiku Sushi - Spider Roll, Philadelphia Roll, Crunchy Spicy Tuna Roll, Peter Roll, Whoa! Roll, Sunset Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Riverhead, New York

Food is good without a doubt, I've been many times and always loved it, so why the 4 stars? The waitress. I've never witnessed such strange behavior from a server. She doesn't seem like she wants to be there, she forgets something every single time, she's cranky and not friendly in the least. And she usually smells like cigarette smoke which is so unappetizing. The whole situation doesn't make for a nice date night out when you feel like you are inconveniencing her by just being there. The owners need to have a talk with her... please! read more

Ken the manager was so rude after we received our order and the Kani salad was missing. No apology and a real attitude. He didn't even care just wanted to get off the phone. Wasn't willing to do anything like issue a refund or credit or send the kani salad. He told us we needed to call grub hub even though he was the one who made a mistake. The food was ordinary at best as well. We will never order from here again. They just don't care about their customers. Stay away! read more

food was delicious . Atmosphere was okay . more employees should be hired to manage the restaurant. took a while for service / food. better energy needed . I know the wife and husband work all the time , it's good to have a break in order for them to succeed . read more

This is the best sushi restaurant in Riverhead. Nothing unique but good solid food. I have had curbside pickup from them twice in the last two weeks. They do a really good tuna tataki with mango. The rolls are fresh and tasty. Good neighborhood spot! read more

A neighborhood place with just the right sushi/sashimi selections when you are craving it. They even make a few Chinese dishes and good soups. Run by a husband and wife, service is smoother during weekends if they have an additional server. All in all, this is a good sushi stop! read more

The ONLY good sushi on the NORTHFORK is at Haiku in Riverhead. This is a family owned and run business with two of the hardest working individuals around. -- Ken and MaryAnne. My husband and I eat there 3-4 X a month and have never had anything but the freshest food. Their tuna tataki with mango is awesome as is their rock shrimp appetizer. I am addicted to the Manhattan role ( i can't have avocado) because for one it doesnt have avacado and I love spicey tuna. Their small salads have a perfect ginger dressing and their miso soup is as good as any I've had anywhere. My husband is a big fan of the sake. Yes, they do get busy once in a while, but they hustle as best they can. They are one of the few restaurants that worked all the way through Covid. Kudos to Ken and MaryAnne for running a great family owned place, serving great sushi, and working hard to keep afloat all the way through Covid. read more

Sushi was on par with the best I've had. Clean atmosphere and the food came out quick. Great service even with a large group. Cheers!

bad bad attitude of wait staff not personable not accommodating not consistent with Japanese way

I like sushi, now I LOVE it!! Easily one of the best restaurants in Riverhead IMO. Atmosphere, service, selection & of course delicious food! Try to go as often as possible!! read more

My husband and I came in through the side door hoping to eat in the alley- beautiful day; tables set up outside, and inside we were "greeted" by the owner, who was eating at one of the tables. No smile- no welcome- except "it's just me so I closed outside dining". Ok. No biggie. We ordered a few rolls and a gift certificate for a friend who suggested we go here for decent local sushi. She was right- the sushi was decent. But the attitude of this woman in the business of customer service was unacceptable. Like- she looked so annoyed that we were even there. When we questioned why we were being taxed on a gift certificate - we got more attitude- I believe she snarked, "it's food. It's a tax on food." I said- I never in my life bought a gift certificate and was taxed and she looked through us like we were aliens. (BTW lady- it's actually illegal to tax gift certificates in NY- look it up) I'm a HUGE fan of giving people a break. I even suggested to my husband in the alley while we were waiting for our food that maybe she's having a bad day. I tried to give this woman the benefit of the doubt but her demeanor was so inappropriately rude, especially for a business owner. If she were an employee anywhere else she would totally have been fired. Especially after reading the other reviews similar to mine. So disappointing. read more

Hidden gem!!!! Fresh sushi, great portions and prompt and courteous service. Spicy tuna tartare appetizer is the best ever!! Perfect balance of tuna, mango, sweet and spicy! Today's specials had sushi "burritos". I ordered the Tuna Lovers Burrito, I cannot even put into words how AMAZING it was!!! Go! Run to haiku!! Support small local businesses. They are key to keeping Main Street great. Love Haiku of Riverhead read more

I have been eating sushi for more than 40 years. Never averaged less than once a week. Haiku is up there with the very best and I feel so fortunate that we have them right here in Riverhead. read more

ok very good food, tuna, ingredient's, high quality, the energy from the chef is very positive, I like the presentation's, again great energy chef helps on the floor now to the service i know she's the wife but she is not into the service end (complains about working 7 days a week to the guest) of what needs to be done, could be overwhelmed with tables but is very forgetful, and condescending on what you order, get a professional server in there and get more customers to return I will come back because of the food and deal with her service that's how good the food is read more

We have eaten at Haiku several times over the last few years. Despite questionable customer service, we kept coming back because of the excellent food. We've finally decided we cannot come back, which breaks my heart because this is the only local establishment where I can find peanut avocado rolls. The greeter, seater, and waitress are all the same person. While she was attentive, the friendliness lacked and she spoke very very quietly. The biggest issue we had was that she would go outside, smoke, and then deliver our food to us, bringing a waft of smoke to our table with our food. This is simply unacceptable and downright unsanitary. So, in short, we will not be back. It was a sad day. read more
