I am surprised the reviews are not better because our experience was excellent. My daughter has ordered take out for lunch several times and has never been disappointed, so we stopped in on a Thursday evening. We were warmly greeted and seated, and service was excellent throughout our meal. I had the chicken teriyaki and it was excellent. Lots of tender, well seasoned chicken on top of a grilled onions and asparagus. It came with a cup of rice. My daughter had the spicy tuna rolls and the rockstar roll. She enjoyed both . The food was flavorful and service was excellent.
Reasonably priced sushi, solid quality for Park Slope! The servers were pretty quick with our food and the restaurant was definitely busy not too crowded. It makes for a nice place to catch up!
Great experience here! We stopped by at Kiku as it's in the neighborhood and we had been wanting to try. Our meals were delicious, but truly what earned the 5 stars was the attentive and kind servers. It is very family friendly and the staff make you feel like family. Definitely check out Kiku if you get the chance!
Whenever people talk about the "good old days," I want to remind them that it doesn't matter how great it was that women couldn't vote, Grandpa, you probably had to leave your apartment (or at least talk to someone on a telephone) if you wanted fresh, delicious sushi. Kiku isn't even close to my place, I honestly have no idea where it is. I have no idea what it looks like inside. Kiku was simply the top-rated sushi spot that would deliver to me one evening. I clicked a few things, and then some sushi came to my door. And it was fresh and tasty. And so we did it again. And again. I've eaten their delicious duck buns (one time it was not good, but I think it was an anomaly), the jalapeño hamachi thing, the triple sushi (salmon, tuna, and yellowtail dinner combo that every sushi spot should have because it makes my daughter happy), and much more. And I have had zero contact with the people that make it. I just swipe and click around on my phone, and tasty food shows up at my door. This is a technological marvel. If you can't appreciate that, recalibrate your perspective. Life is good. Even if women can vote.* Just kidding, honey. _____________ *Please note that I am aware that there is a lot of evidence to suggest that if only women voted, we'd be better off. This is just a bad joke.
We really enjoy coming here for their lunch specials. Always great service and delicious food. The Veggie Udon soup is delicious with subtle flavor with Bok Choy and those skinny long white mushrooms. Comforting for a cold rainy day. It comes with a salad with yummy carrot ginger dressing. Bento boxes are fresh and filling. My only complaint is I wish the peanut and avocado rolls came with roasted peanuts instead of candies peanuts. I always feel relaxed in their surroundings with ambient music and the big Bubbha watching over me
Nice local place to stop in from on a cold day. Started out with Green Tea, then paced myself for some Miso soup accompanying a Sushi lunch special. Staff is so friendly and attentive! I really enjoy coming here for their fresh food and ingredients.
TLDR: come for lunch over dinner. Great lunch specials and super friendly staff. ----- The staff here is always so kind. I've been here for lunch and dinner a few different times and they're so accommodating and pleasant -- checking in with us, offering water while we wait for takeout, constantly smiling, etc. I've only ever really gotten the sushi here, but it's always got giant pieces of fish in it and is overall pretty filling. Sometimes, I'll find an occasional bone in the fish or it'll be a bit fatty but otherwise it's consistently good for the price. Especially the lunch special - Three rolls for $15 isnt bad in this neighborhood! Miso soup is also excellent. While the restaurant is quiet and has a great interior, I recommend taking your food to go and eating it in the community park nearby!
I'd just like to thank Kiku Asian Bistro for a great lunch this week. I think the total was under 16$ and they included some really delicious food! It brightened up a difficult day. Thank you so much !
