Peyton and I love to try out different restaurants when we travel or even around town. Recently we tried out Haiku Izakaya & Ramen which opened this winter in Woodbury, Minnesota. I have been there a few times to pick up takeout for lunch and have enjoyed every single meal. But last night, I took Peyton for her first visit and we enjoyed our meal at the restaurant.
Haiku Izakaya & Ramen is a Japanese restaurant serving Izakaya cuisine with a contemporary Asian vibe. You’ll find ramen, sushi, and kushiyaki on the menu. All of it is delicious!
The restaurant is located in Woodbury, Minnesota just off Highway 94 and Co Rd 19. Easy to get to and plenty of parking.
Haiku Izakaya & Ramen offers takeout as well as a dine-in experience. The staff are all friendly and extremely helpful. They will help you pick out a dish you’ll enjoy from the menu and customize it for your preference.
The menu choices are many. The sushi selection looked plentiful and they had vegan rolls too! The ramen choices were several and you can customize the ramen too.
Last night, Peyton and I tried the beef ramen stirfry, chicken ramen stirfry, avocado roll, and chicken fried rice. It was all delicious! The plan was to share all the dishes so we could try several things. However, Peyton took one bite of the beef ramen stirfry and that was it. She really liked it and did not want to share.
The beef ramen stirfry is made with shaved pieces of beef, vegetables, and soft ramen noodles. I really liked having the beef shaved as it added flavor and texture without being a chunk of meat sitting on bed of ramen noodles.
The chicken ramen stirfry has juicy pieces of chicken, vegetables, and soft ramen noodles. It was delicious. The chicken pieces were cooked perfectly leaving them juicy and tender. The vegetables were firm and flavored well. And the ramen noodles just made the perfect dish.
I always order an avocado roll when I can. We have fish allergies in our home so I am also leary of trying fish but I really enjoy fresh vegetarian sushi. The avocado pieces were just right, they were firm yet soft and just ripe. The sushi rice was great. My only complaint was the seaweed was a little chewy. I prefer it to be more crisp.
The chicken fried rice was packed full of chicken pieces, eggs, and vegetables. I really enjoyed it. And it was the perfect amount of stickiness because I could easily eat it with my chopsticks.
We never did get to dessert. Peyton and I were stuffed by the end of the meal. We even have enough leftovers for another meal. But we will definitely be going back over the summer to enjoy some more delicious Japanese cuisine.
