Haiku Tampa 808 North Franklin Street, Tampa, FL 33602

"Beautiful restaurant but food was just ok. We did not try the sushi though. Vegetarian ramen was lacking flavor and tasted weird. Kid meal steak skewer came without any sides, so we had to order sides separately. Udon noodles with shrimps was good, but tiny shrimp."

"We enjoyed a perfect evening at Haiku Tampa celebrating my husband’s and my friend’s birthday. Giana was a delightful and engaging server who made our evening so special. The ramen, sushi boat, and magic chocolate dessert were absolutely delicious. They have a professional photographer who will take your picture and for $20 you can take home a perfect memory of your evening. Highly recommend !!"

"Okay, okay. Usually any place downtown Tampa seems overrated to me and I didn’t have any expectations for Haiku, especially when I saw their menu but I’ll admit where I am wrong and this time, I was dead wrong. Haiku was a hit! Parking was a bit of a pain since there’s no parking in front of the restaurant but we found some around the corner and made the walk. The outside seating is very nice and has an open bar. We didn’t know but they close from 3-5pm to get ready for dinner but accept their last reservation at 2:30pm but they accommodated us very well with no complaints or rush to get us out. The aesthetics of this place is insane! Every photo is a great photo opp! Food was amazing and so was service! Server even recommended a great drink for me! Bao buns: 4/5! Delish, tasted like pho in a bun! Poke bowl: 4/5, good! Chicken bites: 2/5, it didn’t taste too good. Flour or ratio of everything was off. Waffle bites: 5/5!!!! So delish! Chocolate ball: 4/5! Green tea icecream went so well with it. Just note that their brunch menu is different from their dinner menu so something to know before going. Overall, I would definitely be back!!! Thank you for a great time, Haiku!"

"We went for a date night but definitely gives more of a club vibe. In general, the food is supposed to come out pretty quickly but we had to wait about 30 minutes for the first dish and then they brought two incorrect dishes which was fine because they ended up bringing the correct ones. Food was served hot, waiter was personable. All the food was good, especially liked the seaweed salad and the mushroom ramen. Think this would be good for bachelor/bachelorette parties with larger groups"
