Would it be the heart shaped passion roll with a variety of fish and seaweed salad, the out of control roll with spicy tuna and salmon wrapped in eel and scallion or a pacific roll with sweet potato tempura, lobster salad and bonito flakes? We chose the jungle roll. It was time to try some of these special rolls. Upon observing the sushi chef at work, it is obvious that he is well trained and is very intense and serious about his sushi preparations, which are prepared to order with great care and pride.
For the more adventuresome, examine the long list of the chef’s special rolls with names including volcano roll, thunder roll, out of control roll, and lava roll and a very special black rice roll prepared with natural black rice. Three roll combos and hand rolls are offered, as well. Sushi entrees are served with soup and salad.
Sushi and sashimi can be ordered by the piece in 2 dozen varieties. Among the choices are crispy calamari, grilled shrimp with miso vinaigrette, seaweed salad with sesame vinaigrette, and my all time favorite of Vietnamese Salad with a julienne of mango, jicama, kiwi and carrots in a citrus dressing with crushed peanuts and crisp cellophane noodles. If salmon is your fish of choice the pizza can be prepared with salmon instead of tuna. It is a tasty appetizer to share at your table. A sprinkling of orange roe and a drizzle of mayo sauce resulted in a fine explosion of color and flavor. The tortilla crust was spread with nicely seasoned avocado and topped with fresh sliced tuna. At my recent visit, we savored a tuna pizza. We have enjoyed the seven pieces of pristinely fresh sashimi, beef negimaki, and black pepper seared tuna, as well. There are several pleasant appetizers from the sushi bar, as well. We dipped each triangle of our pancake into this fragrant sauce and if I didn’t know of the treats to come, I might have requested a spoon to savor the remaining sauce. A large chunk of potato floated in the sauce. Sharing the plate was a bowl of a wonderful curry paste flavored sauce. This thin wafer was fried in a skillet and cut into quarters. On my recent visit, I tried the Malaysian style Indian Pancake. From the kitchen, we have enjoyed chicken and beef satay with peanut sauce, shumai, gyoza, mixed tempura and chicken lettuce wrap. The staff is efficient and quite pleasant.īlack rice rollTo start your feast at Haiku, choose from kitchen or sushi bar appetizers.

He describes the Scarsdale Haiku as an Asian fusion restaurant with dishes from China, Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. In Scarsdale, Haiku’s manager is the capable Daniel Teoh. Each has its own atmosphere and special dishes. In recent years haiku added a new definition, the casual and delightful Asian bistro with branches in Bronxville, White Plains, Cross River and for eight years right here in Scarsdale. Lava RollFor years, the word Haiku brought to mind a type of Japanese poetry of three lines and seventeen syllables which leaves the reader with strong feelings and impressions.
