Since this place changed management in 2024 and revamped its menu and prices, the food is incredible. Takeout is slow but the food is very fresh and flavorful. The old clubby atmosphere remains, but there are generally more customers so it doesn't feel empty anymore. I recommend their sushi and curries. read more

Haiku - Left: Northern Palace Right: Sweet heart Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

This place is still a little secret hideaway, although it's been around since 2011. It's busy, but just slow enough to not have to always wait. The neon blue decor and black inside is such a fun ambiance to eat in. We sat in a booth and ordered some crab Rangoon and hot and sour soup. Although the broth was delicious, I'd only give it a 3/5 as it's loaded up with SO MUCH STUFF that there's hardly any broth which is what I wanted in the first place. But the flavor is still really good. The crab Rangoon was 5/5. Always delicious and piping hot and full of flavor. I got the mango lovers sushi roll and let the server pick it out of two options which is good because I was leaning towards that one. It was very refreshing and so much flavor. 4/5. Hubs had the chicken red curry level 4. He toned the spice down for me so I could have some. It still had a good kick to it spice-wise. Chicken was tender and the red curry was delicious!! 5/5. Haiku is always a fun place to go to. It's a place we fell upon years ago. I like that it's still around and never too busy, but never empty either. Give it a try! read more

I love Haiku so much! The sushi genuinely tastes fresh and the service here is always amazing. Our server was so kind and made the experience that much better.

Sushi rolls in the Drake neighborhood!!! Wish I had eaten here sooner back when we lived there. Vegetable rolls with no egg!! Hit the spot for vegetarian egg rolls. I loved they were hot and crunchy. Little bland for flavor. Amazing sushi rolls!! Had the Lobster Mango Roll and the California Roll. I'm simple and boring. But I sure love flavor. The lobster mango roll was everything I was craving for. I love the tempura crunch in it- EXCELLENT! During COVID-19 review: Ordered take out since it's pandemic season. Ordered on the phone to avoid the service charge online. Fast, easy, friendly service over the phone. Mr White ordered the beef pad thai. He liked it. He said 8/10 stars. He says the flavor reminds him of the *99* from Krunchwich. Fast service. We received our order in 20 min. Walk in required to pick up- no curbside- with social distance measures. Will be back again! Hope to sit inside one day and will leave another review. read more

I reviewed Haiku near to when it opened, about eight years ago. My favorite dining companion also had a bad experience there, separate from mine, but around the same time. We were informed there had been a change of management, and the current reviews seemed to be pretty good, so we felt they deserved another chance. The decor was nice when we entered. We were greeted and seated immediately. We looked through the menu and made some selections. We opted for the Tiger Roll and the Sashimi Appetizer. I pretty much always require Sashimi when I go to a sushi restaurant. I may or may not get a sushi roll, but Sashimi is an absolute requirement. Yellowtail is my all time favorite (Baby Yellowtail specifically is the real champ), but I don't tend to turn down any Sashimi. Just don't give me Uni. I won't eat that. The Sashimi was fresh, tasty, and very satisfying. My only complaint really was that we didn't order more Sashimi! The Tiger Roll was an impressive combination of flavors. The fish and Avocado blended well, and the "crunch" added some additional texture. A very solid sushi Roll overall. I must say that this visit to Haiku was in stark contrast to my previous visit eight years ago. I can now absolutely recommend them, and am happy to have a good Sashimi restaurant in the Drake area we can go to, as well. Highly recommended! read more

I've been here in person and also ordered many times from this place. I usually get tofu, miso, edamame and a variety of sushi. Everything is usually very delicious. I can't get enough of this place! Why four stars? In person, the bar to the side and the general restaurant the layout are not the best-- it does kind of drag down the atmosphere. The calamari, I'm not sure why-- it's hit or miss. Not my favorite place for calamari unfortunately. They have a habit of forgetting ginger in delivery orders and I REALLY love ginger, haha. All in all, I really enjoy this restaurant! There's just those few things. If you are a seafood fan, this is a great spot! read more

Delish, fresh sushi-no sauces needed and just a couple blocks from my house. WINNING!! New to DSM and I've tried a few other places- this is the fIrst place that actually reminds me of the vibe, quality and taste of sushi I had while living in Los Angeles. My new go to spot!! read more

I came here for a birthday party. The atmosphere is with low lighting and a cozy feel like you are in a mom and pop restaurant but also in a nice upscale sushi restaurant. Hard to describe but done well. The staff was very nice, the drinks were well prices, the sushi was very good, and the restaurant gave us saki bombs for free because we had a big party. I really enjoyed this place and will be back again. Not the best sushi, but good sushi with good staff and a cozy feel. read more

We stopped in while in the Drake area craving a mix of Chinese and Sushi and this hit the spot!!! First of all the place is beautiful, I would love to see it light up at night, with the blue lighted panels all over! It's also kept super clean! It's very sleek and modern! I ordered the Lobster tempura with mango roll and Shrimp tempura roll, both were fantastic! Very delicious. I will say the lobster mango roll was by far my favorite through! Really refreshing for summer! My hubby ordered the Sesame chicken and it was delicious! (I had to steal a bite). Super crispy with a rich sesame sauce! My sister ordered the Chicken udon and it's some of the best and most authentic Udon I have had and she was thrilled! Super flavorful and the noodles were very fluffy! The staff was friendly and our drinks were never empty (or even close). This will definitely be somewhere we come back to!! read more

The service just gets better and better! We come here all the time, and they often remember exactly what we want upon ordering :) The ambiance is so calming, classy, and romantic.

Over this past weekend, my sister and I decided to treat ourselves after a stressful week. She and I have a great fondness for sushi and love supporting local businesses. This place is such a treat! The service was wonderful, they took such great care of us. We had the pleasure of being there during their martini special, so naturally we had a couple. I had the Geisha Saketini and the Caramel Appletini and they were delicious!! For my sushi I had the classic Philadelphia roll that was perfect and tried their Las Vegas roll for something spicy. It was so good!! It had the perfect balance of spice and flavor. For dessert, we split their mochi ice cream. We didn't want anything too heavy but a little something sweet to balance all the savory. It turned out just right. We were very comfortably full. I honestly can't wait to go back and try something else! read more

Excellent ambiance, service, and the sushi's always fresh and tasty. What more can you ask for!?

I've been going here for years and the service is always exceptional! They are friendly and remember what you like and are willing to suggest new items for you to try. This is a definite recommend for some of the best sushi in town read more

This is just bad sushi overall. Sushi from a gas station can at least semi hit the spot. This is just crap rice, on crap fish, with crap sauce. read more

This is my favorite sushi in Des Moines. This is where my husband will eat because he loves the crunch roll! La Sa Tom soup is perfect salty, coconut, onion, and shrimp. Sometimes the soup has more tomatoes than other times. I love the haiku salad with squid, kani, seaweed, panko and an amazing salad dressing. This time I ordered the spider net roll with avocado. I hate mango and they always substitute for me. There is a specific waitress that I love and she always remembers us. Also recommend volcano, sweetheart, monster, oceans delight, drake, and Leo's treat. read more

This place is definitely one of my go to places. Hands down they have the best appetizers here. I could live off their appetizer dishes. I actually don't order the sashimi/sushi rolls here much but my must orders are the Haiku Salad, Tuna cheek, and baked mussels! Those are my all time FAVS! Their drinks here are pretty yummy too and there is plenty of room to host birthday events here too. The environment is low key with dimmed lighting. Good place to go to for date night too! Their stir fry dishes are ok not particularly my favorite...satisfying enough but not mind blowing. Their sushi rolls/sashimi is ok too but I like to get my sushi fix elsewhere. I literally just love this place for their appetizers and drinks. Nobody makes their baked mussel dish like they do and their haiku salad is so addicting and refreshing. Make sure to order it when you check out this place! read more

Tried out Haiku tonight, since we thought our go-to for nigiri (Wasabi Chi) still wasn't serving it yet (apparently they ARE now!). We each got one of their sushi specials, with our being 10 pieces of nigiri and a spicy tuna roll, as well as an order of the Leo's special appetizer, which is crab, cream cheese avocado and some other yummy items breaded and tempura fried. We were VERY impressed by the tempura. It was crispy, super flavorful, and had two different amazing sauces (one inside and one outside). It was straight The nigiri was good as well. It seemed fresh and had decent flavor. The sushi rice was really sweet which unfortunately overpowered the delicate fish. The spicy tuna rolls were excellent though. Still doesn't kick Wasabi Chi out of our #1 spot, but this place has definitely taken over for 2nd place for us! I would give them a try if you haven't already! read more

Even better than before try the sweet potato roll for a delicious surprise! Great lunch specials, cheap beers and super fresh rolls and edamame!! Staff is really sweet too read more

We were greeted when we walked in the door and seated right away. Our waitress brought two glasses of water but never asked if we wanted something else to drink. I had to ask another waitress for a Pepsi. We ordered Crab Rangoon, which were heavenly! So light and fluffy and stuffed full of real crab filling. I don't like crab but I could eat those Rangoons all day! Matt ordered a couple different Sushi rolls and I had non spicy Mongolian Beef. Last time my food was too spicy but without a little spice, the food was pretty bland. So...I will have to find a happy medium somehow. Matt liked his Sushi . I would eat it if it wasn't wrapped in Keem. I have been introduced to sweet chili oil and I could take a bath in that!! It's just the right amount of sweet and heat. When we go back, I think I will just stick with the Rangoons and call it good. read more

I rarely give a rating but since we moved to Iowa 3 years ago this is the only place my family will eat sushi and it is consistently fabulous. I read some of the hater reviews and was shocked by the lies! If you are in DSM and want legit creative high-quality sushi this is the place. Haiku never disappoints and top 5 on my list..... I have lived in NYC and traveled the world (including eating at Nobu many times on both coasts). Love Haiku! read more

I know, I know I already reviewed this place on 4/4/11, but I can't help myself. I have to give an update and bump up the stars to 5, given that this is now one of our favorite places to go and it has never failed to please. Haiku only gets better! The staff is nothing short of amazing with us, and this just adds to the experience of the food, which continues to impress. For appetizers, the Gyoza (steamed pork dumplings) and Crab Rangoon are a good choice for those who want to know what to expect, though Haiku's are a cut above what most might expect. For those who want something unexpected, try Leo's Treat, but be warned, share it or you won't be able to eat a heck of a lot more. It can be a meal unto itself and it's a tasty one at that! Props to Haiku for getting me to not only eat raw fish, but like it and, at time, crave it. The white tuna sashimi is a must try. It literally melts like butter in your mouth and the flavor is surprising. The Peppered Tuna Salad is OMG-BRILLIANT with pepper encrusted flash-seared raw tuna over a bed of lightly dressed greens. When you pop it in your mouth, the tuna tastes slightly smoky with a zing of pepper, and like the white tuna sashimi, it eventually melts into an amalgam of wonder on your tongue. TRY IT, after you've tried the Haiku salad, of course. Rolls are what Haiku does best and bravo to them for it. If you like the Haiku salad (and let's be frank, how can you not love it), then try the Seacoast Roll. It's like a warm haiku salad in roll form and is pure heaven. It's my favorite of the rolls, for sure, but I cannot encourage you enough to try a variety of rolls on the menu. Do not overlook the Mango Lover Roll, the Volcano roll, the Las Vegas Roll, the Mango Lobster roll. . . aw heck try 'em all. I haven't had one yet that I didn't like in one way or another, and I'm STILL trying to work my way through the menu. And if rolls aren't your thing, then there's always the fusion dishes, noodle dishes and entrees. I still love love love the Thai Curry Sauce and the Coconut Shrimp and fall back on these when I have cravings for them. New faves include the Pad Thai, the Basil & Brown Sauce, and the quite simply named "Pork Chop". Lastly I'll add that the atmosphere is great here. It's mellow and not too loud, but fun, enjoyment, and an adventurous palate are encouraged. There is no waiting at most times of the day for seating, especially during Drake's summer season. Come on over to the campus and give them a try. You will not be disappointed. And remember. . . . try the Haiku salad. read more

Haiku is conveniently located next to the Drake University campus. It shares ownership with Appare I believe.. So some of the food is a little similar. I love the atmosphere here. The neon blue theme is really cool and there's an awesome vibe here. I got their most popular salad which is the Haiku salad and it was amazing! It's basically like the chefs were drunk one night and just put all the Japanese salads together. It's a mixture of seaweed salad, squid salad, crab, and avocado. The dressing is light and really compliments it. Got a Las Vegas, American dream, and philly roll. The Las Vegas roll is amazing! Yummy fried goodness. Thought the philly roll had too much cream cheese in relation to the fish though. Too be honest, I felt there should have been more sushi pieces for the money when comparing other places in iowa. Also..My partner got the beef udon and really liked it. Overall, I would recommend this place. I would have given it three stars but the salad made it worth a 4. read more

Located on Drake University campus, this is a great sushi restaurant for anyone looking for good food and atmosphere. To describe the atmosphere, if you took away the tables and seats it would look like a classy bar/club. The lighting and decor is very nice, definitely a good place for a date. The staff members are all very friendly from entry to exit. The customers in this establishment range from families, to young couples, to groups of friends. For our visit we ordered the Soft Shell Crab for an appetizer, the Drake Roll and Rock N Roll for the sushi rolls, and Coconut Shrimp for an entree to share. The Soft-Shell Crab was okay, the taste was fine, but the amount was a bit disappointing. The specialty rolls were very good, I wouldn't say the best in town, but very good. The Coconut Shrimp was excellent as well, the flavor and texture was spot on. I would recommend checking this place out if you are in the area! You will not be disappointed with the atmosphere, staff, and food! read more

"Let's go to Haiku".. My roommate and I always said that since it's located not even 500 feet from where I live right now.. This is so far the best Japanese Restaurant around Drake and the price is reasonable.. I don't want to be too harsh on rating it.. Definitely will not beat the restaurant that I had been to in NYC. Well.. since is Asian Fusion.. I think they deserve a 3 stars.. YES!! 3 STARS!!! Service: Their service is always good as they will ask us how's our food every time after our meal to make sure everything is fine.. As for the sushi.. I always ordered different types of their specialty whenever I am there.. (Because I dislike eating the same thing over and over again.. and I am adventurous in trying out different kinds of FOOD!!!) their seaweed salad and squid salad are good but it's normal.. I always order the seaweed salad instead of the squid salad because it tasted more "original" compare to the squid salad. My friend ordered the Salmon Skin Salad.. I tried it and I think is a little "Americanize".. The sauce in the salad is a little too much and too salty.. I will not recommend it.. I love the soft shell crab.. If you want something that gives you a feeling of Japan when you are eating.. order the soft shell crab sushi!!! :) I had the volcano sushi as well and it's really interesting and well presented. (food always taste good when they looks good.. isn't it???) If you are still hungry after that... PLS DO NOT ORDER THE MOCHI!!!! My roommate and I ordered the green tea mochi and green tea ice-cream once.. The mochi tasted extremely bad!!! The texture of the mochi is supposed to be "GUI"(I am sorry I do not know what other words to use).. The mochi that they served tasted like plastic.. where they actually cut into half and served us!!! When we both eat it.. our facial expression totally change.. (I guess they might get it from asian market or something).. As for the green tea ice-cream.. Nothing much to comment about it since it's just a normal green tea ice-cream! read more

This is some of the best sushi I've had in Des Moines. I originally wanted to take my wife to another sushi place in town, which turned out to be closed for their annual summer vacation. Turned out that was a good move. Haiku is the best sushi value for your dollar in Des Moines. We started out our meal with the Haiku salad, a lovely green salad with a creamy ginger dressing, crab, and salmon roe. A single salad is more than large enough for two. I'd go back just for the salad; along with a roll, it would make an awesome meal in itself. We ordered one of the big sushi boat platters, along with the spider web roll. The sushi, salmon, and nigiri - all were outstanding. The spider web roll was a tempura soft-shell crab with mango - this was my absolute favorite. Haiku is our new go-to sushi place in Des Moines. read more

I love eating sushi here so much!! absolutely delicious and worthwhile!I go here for sushi all the time

I didn't know what to expect because most of the recent reviews were less than stellar. It's weird because most of the great reviews are before 2013. Then after 2013 the ratings go downhill. I don't know what happened. Maybe there was a turnover in waitstaff or a change in owners? I wanted to give Haiku a try anyway because my husband and I are on a quest to try all of the sushi places in town. I thought the atmosphere in Haiku was great. It definitely had a big-city look and feel to it. It looked like it could have been a restaurant in Chicago or Minneapolis. I really liked the look. Kudos to the interior decorator. They definitely put some thought into the style and look. The parking situation isn't that great, though. I wish they had dedicated parking for the restaurant. We shared a plate of the gyoza because we love it and always try it at every sushi restaurant. Theirs was excellent; perfectly steamed and pan fried. It had great flavor, as well. So our evening started off on a good note. Our waitress was nice and attentive, too. So I don't know what's up about those bad reviews complaining about terrible service. Maybe it was just an off night or they were just unlucky and got a bad waitress. Ours was good. Although, she didn't offer to refill my water until the end of my meal. I ordered a California roll with spicy mayo (my favorite) and a Philadelphia roll. My husband ordered a spider roll and and an Alaskan roll. He thought both were pretty good, although, he wasn't expecting the crab to be fried tempura-style. He was hoping it would be fresh and uncooked. I liked my California roll, but it was kind of loosely-wrapped. A couple of pieces fell apart when I tried to eat them. My Philadelphia roll was just ok. The smoked salmon in it didn't taste that smoky. I've had better Philadelphia rolls at other places. I have to say they were generous with the amount of ginger they gave us. Usually most sushi joints are pretty skimpy with their ginger and I always have to ask for more. The wasabi was very fresh, too. I always like that. One thing I was very surprised about was that they charged me $1.00 extra for the spicy mayo on my California roll. Every time I've asked for it at other restaurants, I've never been charged extra. I can't believe they charged me for it. I wish the waitress would have told me that it was going to be an extra charge so I knew about it ahead of time. The rolls were good but not the best sushi we've ever had. Appare is still our favorite place. They're pricier, but worth it. We didn't think Haiku's prices were that high, contrary what some other reviewers have said. We'll try this place again. Next time we'll try some of the special rolls to see if they're any good. We wouldn't come here all the time, but just when we wanted a change of pace. Our favorite neighborhood sushi place is Sakura. Whenever we feel like having some good, inexpensive sushi, we go there. read more

Oh my goodness. Had been awhile since I visited and glad that fate brought me back. My normal first choice was not open we swung out here instead. I got adventurous and tried the Haiku salad. So glad that i did. Yum all the way around. Such a great in one salad. To quote another yelper "it was like the chefs got drunk one night and mixed all the salads". My choice for roll was the American dream. Yum! And just because I was craving it I had them add cream cheese. *wipes corners of my mouth* You can always add cream cheese. I enjoyed it very much. Very smooth texture all around. My fiance was head over heels for the Crunchy roll. And enjoyed the Dragon. Though He thought the was bland. He thought maybe for the price there would be more of the roll. I was stuffed from the salad and had to share my roll. He didn't mind as he enjoyed it. We stuffed abd the waitress was kind and I will go back. read more

Best Sushi I have found in DM so far. Rolls and Sashmi was very fresh and tasty. I have seen better presentations else where but what they lacked there they made up for it in great fish. We also had enamame (sp) as an appetizer. They were steamed well and lightly salted. Great start to a good meal. We had a large group so we ordered the Party Platter and some rolls (sorry I don't know which ones they were I did not order them) Like I said before it was all great. Very impressed. I will go here over Maybi 9 any day of the week. read more

Haiku - Party Platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Des Moines, Iowa

Great sushi for a great price! This is my favorite sushi restaurant. It is pretty much the same menu as Appare in Urbandale but much cheaper. The fish is super fresh! My favorites are the Tiger roll, spider roll, shrimp tempura roll, and haiku salad is a must!! They've also got a good selection of entrees if you're not into sushi like ramen, coconut shrimp, udon, pad thai and much more. The atmosphere is very modern and chic. Would recommend 10/10! read more

One of my favorite places to dine in and have a drink after a long day. This place has some of the best food in town. Packed with flavors and presented very nicely. For something light I recommend the salmon skin salad that was introduced to me by a friend of mine. It has such good flavor and the crispy salmon skin is a delight. On top of some greens. Not everyone likes sushi and that is okay. I recommend any of the chicken dishes. They're all great tasting and loving all the flavor combinations in the dish. Love this place! Their drink specials are also the best! Take a look and try it. You won't be disappointed. read more

Haiku is a major discovery! I went with a friend to give it a try for the first time. I often find that different sounding menu items can taste quite similar in many sushi places. Not so with Haiku! Their flavor richness and diversity is amazing! They truly have the best hot and sour soup I've ever had. The server was very attentive and pleasant. We were served frequently enough without being overly interrupted. I hope more people find this gem. I want them to stay plenty busy to remain open and serving their excellent cuisine! read more

I will admit I've only been here once. I've thought about going back, but haven't brought myself to it yet. I went with a group of friends who regularly go there & convinced me to try somewhere other than Sakari :) I figured I should. The atmosphere was very nice, it was clean, it appeared small but wrapped around. When we were there, they were not busy, maybe 2 tables before us & 2 tables while we were there. We ordered simple drinks (either beer or the daily special) which took a very long time to be made. We even tried to figure out where they were being made at & couldn't. We asked the waitress, after she finally stopped by & she said they were almost ready (it had already been at least 15 minutes). We received them 10 minutes later & they were fine. After that, we each ordered 2 (which took about 5 minutes less) so we wouldn't have to wait as long. When we ordered our food they were out of quite a bit of things. I ended up just getting an appetizer. A friend got some sort of "roll" that ended up being a pile of sushi I ingredients. I can't remember what it was called, but when I tried it. I opted to not do that again. Everyone I was with stated service there is always very slow, even if no customers are there. Otherwise they stated the food & drinks are always good. My appetizer was very good. However, the food was also slow & our waitress may have been waiting on every customer. I have not been back, and will probably try one of the better recently reviewed sushi places first. read more

My husband and I wanted to try a new sushi restaurant in Des Moines and decided on Haiku. The atmosphere is pretty neat. The service staff and cooks arrived exactly at opening time, which seemed a little odd to me. So we were sat and then had to wait several minutes to order drinks or food. We ordered the California and Volcano rolls. Normally between my husband and myself, we can share two rolls and be full. The rolls here were higher priced than other places in Des Moines and they were absolutely tiny. They fell apart easily; very difficult to eat. The Volcano roll was four small pieces - I would have liked a spoon to eat it because it was impossible to pick up with chopsticks. After eating here, my husband asked me if I would like to go out for "second lunch" because he was still so hungry despite having spent around $30 for lunch already. read more
