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

Love the decor, loved the relaxed atmosphere.
We didn't even get to the Wok section of the menu because frankly the dim sum sections are enough to go to whatever your idea of heaven. The foodies might have something more delicate to say but all we can utter is that it was delicious... delicious, mouth-watering-recallingly, delicious.
Combined with stellar service provided by Washington, we left with a night we'll remember. You'll be seeing us again Haiku. read less

We went big and had dishes from every section of the menu (it was just the 2 of us) and Mackniel paced the courses nicely so we didn't receive all the dishes together. The only thing that put a downer in the evening was witnessing the general manager telling team members off quite rudely in front of the pass and guests. Despite this, food was great as was our waiter! read less

We had dinner at Haiku about 5 years ago during a previous visit to Cape Town. We were pleasantly surprised that both food and service are still consistently great! A special mention about the professionalism, customer-orientation, warmth and kindness of Melissa! She contributed hugely to making our dinner experience really enjoyable. To such an extent that we have decided to come back next week, before we fly back to Europe. read less
