The space accommodated about 22 ppl, we brought some decor, and there was a restaurant room for our guests across from the party room. James followed up and offered the best customer service I've ever experienced at a restaurant where I hosted an event for a large party. From the moment I began planning and coordinating with James, the restaurant manager, it was great experience. WHAT WE LIKE Won-ton soup, shumai, gyoza, chicken lettuce wrap, sushi appetizer General Tso’s chicken, prawns with leeks, Chilean sea bass, shrimp with spicy mango sauce, pad Thai ice creams, triple chocolate mousse cake.Where do I begin? Haiku has always been one of my favorite Asian fusion restaurants in White Plains, but they exceeded all of my expectations when I recently held a private event in their lower level party room. American Express, Visa and MasterCard accepted. THE BILL Lunch entrees (including soup or salad), $7.75 to $15.95.

THE SPACE Appealing shopping-center storefront with full wheelchair access. It struck all the right notes, as did Haiku itself. Though made elsewhere, it was of high quality, with a thin crust of chocolate cookie crumbs topped with dark, milk and white chocolate mousses. There was only one choice besides the good, exceptionally creamy ice creams, a triple chocolate mousse cake. The soup needed a dash of soy sauce to bring it to life.ĭessert is not a major event. Along with the two chief ingredients in the velvet corn-chicken chowder were jicama for a bit of crunch and egg drop for texture. The soup we liked best was the homemade won ton, a well-seasoned broth with exceptionally light pork and shrimp-filled dumplings. The lettuce wrap contained a mixture of chopped chicken, walnuts and vegetables, hoisin sauce and long, narrow leaves of romaine, a departure from the usual iceberg lettuce. We were less taken with the tempura appetizer of shrimp and assorted vegetables their coats were crisp but not filigree-fine. Shumai, steamed shrimp dumplings, were delicate airy treats. These pan-fried dumplings the best I’ve ever sampled had juicy pork fillings and paper-thin wrappers. The appetizer that knocked our socks off was the gyoza. The sushi appetizer, a sampler of five assorted fish, garnered praise for the luminous and impeccably fresh seafood and the lovely presentation. Sushi and sashimi are beautiful creations here. (Alas, the beef, which was cooked medium rare as ordered, was chewy.) Another feast for the eyes is the pile of black pepper steak cubes encircled with a necklace of jadelike baby bok choy. Lightly cooked and glazed Chilean sea bass is served on a creamy coconut sauce enlivened by colorful strips of carrot and asparagus. General Tso’s chicken, for instance, has long shards of emerald-green asparagus fanning out around the crunchy sweet-spicy meat. Entrees are artfully presented, with jewel-toned vegetables highlighting the familiar Chinese, Japanese, Thai and Malaysian dishes. The décor is calm and soothing, the food lively and exciting. There, a trickle of water continuously flows over smooth black river rocks. The space has a floor-to-ceiling window, shiny wood floors and tables, soft lighting, large mirrors, and a stunning stone wall behind the sushi bar. Haiku in Woodbury is a beautiful restaurant with gorgeous, well-prepared food and reasonable prices. There are three Haikus in Westchester, with another scheduled to open next summer. Haiku Asian Bistro, which opened in the Woodbury Town Plaza shopping center in October, is the first Long Island outpost of this restaurant group, which seems to have a winning pan-Asian formula.
