It has both sushi and Chinese food, and a lunch special on weekdays that run until 3pm. My family and I loved this restaurant so much that we came here 3 consecutive days. My favorite item was the salmon mango tartar, on the menu it's tuna mango tartar but you can ask for salmon instead. All other dishes that we tried like the Mongolian beef, shrimp fried rice, dumplings, shrimp lomein, shrimp and scallop, and various sushi rolls were perfectly flavored. Every single dish was done right. The owners, Maryanne and Ken were very warm and welcoming. The first time that we were there, Maryanne showed me other dishes ordered by another table and I knew I had to come back, and we did! The service was attentive and fast. I highly recommend Haiku Sushi. I look forward to coming back here the next time my family and I are in town.

Who wants warm cake? I don't even know why anybody would think that's acceptable. The teriyaki chicken over rice was proably the best out of all the items ordered. The ramens were very subpar. I wouldn't return.

My boyfriend and I came here for a hibachi date, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. This was my first time trying hibachi, and I am currently pregnant, so food safety is especially important to me. After only a few bites of my meal, I found a cooked fly mixed into my fried rice. Seeing a bug in my food immediately ruined the experience, and I was concerned that the entire batch of rice may have been contaminated since it appeared to have been cooked together. While waiting for a replacement, I noticed fried rice was still being served to other customers, which was concerning. When the replacement food arrived, I was given miso soup and a California roll. The California roll was unusually warm instead of being cold and fresh as sushi normally should be, so at that point we just wanted to leave. What made the situation even more frustrating was the bill. We were charged for the replacement miso soup and California roll, despite receiving them because there was a bug in my original meal. The restaurant only offered a 10% discount, which barely covered the sales tax. To make matters worse, both my boyfriend and I felt sick after eating here. Finding a cooked fly in my food, receiving unsatisfactory replacement items, and the way the situation was handled left a very negative impression. Based on this experience, I would not recommend dining here, especially if food safety and customer service are important to you. At the very least, I would avoid ordering the fried rice.

After much debating and research, we decided it was finally time to try Hachiroku in New Haven. We already love going to The Loop, let's sit down and eat. Heard lots of positive buzz from fellow Yelpers and foodies, including a previous 2024 New Haven Best Restaurant of the Year at the CRAZIES. All of the accolades and positive reviews are well earned. Cozy and delicious. That's what I'd describe about Hachiroku. The ambiance is cozy regardless if you're sitting at the bar or in the upstairs seating. The food we ordered also had the same vibe. The menu rotates with the seasons and the freshest ingredients which we greatly appreciated and it shows in the tastes. Our seasonal selections that we ordered included Hokkaido scallop and octopus carpaccio with ikura and seaweed and monkfish karaage. The carpaccio had the perfect components to complement each other. The monkfish karaage fully came together between the lemon and the side of pickled radish as well. We also ordered house made fresh tofu and added uni. The staff mentioned "oh it's perfect, it's uni season" which made my day. It was so delicious and my husband who normally doesn't like uni even noticed how fresh it was. We really went wild ordering everything, including the mini Harasu don (teishoku which comes with rice, pickles, and we picked the salad), Black Cod grilled with Yuzu sauce, Yaki Kinoko Mushrooms, and the Kakuni Short Rib (which pairs very well with a side of rice). The most cozy and perfect dish for winter was the seasonal vegetable agedashi. Warm and had a nice variety of vegetables with a vegetable dashi broth that healed the soul. We enjoyed every dish and we noticed already when looking at the menu again there's already so many new items to try. Excellent service and suggestions from the staff (because if we didn't have them, we could've ordered the whole menu in one night). Can't wait to come back and rave about Hachiroku (and its sister stores/restaurants) to everyone!

You'll need to walk around the side of the building and ring the doorbell to get in, at which point you'll walk upstairs to a beautifully decorated, nautical themed sushi counter. I arrived with my mom about 10 minutes before our 7:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night, and we were the first ones there. The hostess/waitress was warm and welcoming. She gave us their drink menu which consisted of sake, beer and wine, along with flight options of wine and sake that pair with the Omakase menu. She let us sample two of them (generous pours) before we made our choice. If you're on the fence between a bottle or by the glass, highly recommend the bottle -- we ended up drinking more than we planned to since it went down so smoothly, and also, this 17-course meal calls for more than a couple glasses of sake. The vibe of this place was really friendly and approachable, moreso than other Omakase experiences I've had in the city. We started out with an appetizer featuring snowcrab and seaweed served with sesame oil, mirin, soy sauce and Dashi broth which was simple but refreshing. Our waitress supplied us with ample ginger throughout the experience to keep our palate cleansed as we moved through each course. As other people have mentioned, this isn't the most inventive or even fancy Omakase, so if you're here hoping for truffle, caviar, foie gras toppings or things set on fire and smoked, you might be a bit let down. But every piece of this sushi was fresh, melt in your mouth, and well seasoned. I actually appreciated being able to really taste and appreciate the fish rather than have the flavor be masked by overpowering ingredients. Courses ranged from different types of premium tuna to scallops, shrimp, snapper, mackerel, sea bream, tile fish, and fluke. My favorite was the wagyu and uni hand roll, which was delicious. Our sushi chef even gave us an uni "bump" to eat off our hands like caviar, which was amazing. I love uni so much. Highly, highly recommend this place if you're in town during summer. Super memorable dining experience, we even made friends. I'll be back next year!

Cabbage soup with bison is incredible and I don't even like cabbage. The beef burger and bison burger both taste really good and I do enjoy their steak fries when they are cooked properly.

It was my first time trying bison and I really enjoyed it. It was leaner than beef yet still had so much flavor. The corn could have had a little more on it but I think it was just a bad piece. Definitely a great experience overall!!!

The menu is small, but has a variety from entrees, sushi, noodles, and shareable appetizers. There were specials as well that we took advantage of and ended up with a lot of food. My husband and I shared the Yukitori Platter, something that I haven't seen before on a menu. It's a Japanese street food that has skewered meat. Our platter had chicken, shrimp, beef, pork, and zucchini and each were very good. My husband got the Gyu Don (which is a beef bowl) and for $5 more, he got the set that included three side dishes and a miso soup. I ordered the Shrimp Tempura Udon and made it a Combo for $5 more which included a classic Brown Sugar Bubble Tea and a Pork Bun. I loved my Udon, was flavorful and not too salty. The bubble tea was perfect, even the tapioca pearls weren't too hard or gummy. The service was good, but it was a slow start since there was only one staff member hosting and serving the dining room. It was a little busy with a couple of other tables. The staff were very kind and respectful. The food came out fast after we ordered. Akatsuki is really a hidden gem and it's a must try. My husband and I look forward to returning soon.

For example, I got the sexy salmon appetizer. It said it was sliced salmon wrapped around mango. What I got was seared salmon. I ordered the tuna tartar.

The wasabi roll was supposed to have tuna, salmon and yellowtail. It did not look like there was yellowtail in it at all. It was very small.

I usually don't mind paying a little extra, but what bothered me was not being told ahead of time, and the price felt a bit excessive for the small amount of rice used in the rolls. The lunch special also came with a choice of soup or salad. I went with the salad, which was also just okay and nothing memorable. Overall, the meal was fine but not impressive, and the unexpected charge left a sour note. I'm not sure if I'd return.
