Food was exceptional! There’s sushi, dim sum, wok dishes, soup, and desert. The spicy prawn steamed dim sum was excellent. The lamb pot stickers were a delicious surprise and not to be missed. The Peking duck was juicy and succulent and I enjoyed it a lot. The ice cream you can skip (like most Asian restaurants).

Service was top notch. In fact the best I’ve had in Cape Town so far. Good and lovely atmosphere. Wonderful place. Will return. read less

The food was amazing and the portions were very large! We had the peking duck and the crispy hoisin lamb with hakka noodles. This was by far the best peking duck I have ever had, very worth the price. Will definitely be going back. read less

The spicy prawn har Gau was amazing & I highly recommend it. For starters we had sushi which was also really great. Parking: We were there on a Sunday night so there was plenty of parking. We parked in the street across the restaurant. But there is also a parking lot (paid) across the road. read less

I did reserve a table but it was not busy at this time. Drinks: Ordered 2 espresso martinis and 2 Awara Elixir cocktails which were both tasty!! Food: Steamed dim sum - Chicken Siu mai and beef Xiao long Bao. These were okay where the beef Xiao long Bao did not have that oozing sauce that comes out when you bite into it. Fried Dim Sum - Prawn Avo Tempura with spicy mayonnaise. This was delicious! Be careful as it was piping hot! Mains: Thai Penang Rib eye and Rendang Duck with 2 bowls of steamed rice. Dessert: Cheese Cake and 2 scoops of ice cream (Mango and Vanilla with choc chips) Total price: around 1850 Rand where we paid 2100 with tip. Overall experience: staff were very attentive, great ambience where the lights did flicker at a certain time but staff came over to explain why it did that due to the generators and to save energy. Wasn’t too keen on the steam dim sum as much (probably cos I’m being biased) but would definitely visit again cos of the fantastic experience we had! read less

We ordered sushi and sashimi which was good but the highlight was the mains. The crisoy fried broccoli on salad and crisoy fried veg was nothing like we had ever eaten before. It was AMAZING. Then came the delicious stir fried rice and delicious crispy spicy lamb with veg. The combo was so delicious that we ate ourselves into a stupor. Wow. We have eaten all over the world and very seldom get sooo impressed. Haiku, you have outdone yourself. 🙌🏽👏🏽👍🏽🙏 read less

Pillowy shu mai was served with three sauces, from mild to slightly hotter, each one unique and layered in flavor. Pan fried mushroom dumplings were served with a delicate spring onion, garlic and ginger sauce. A main dish of sizzling vegetables featured eggplant that had a crunch on the outside and custard texture inside, several types of mushrooms, and light and crispy tofu in a sweet umami sauce, served with delicate and light fried rice. I will dream about this food. This is a must visit Cape Town restaurant for foodies!! read less
