We usually get takeout from this place but decided to eat in this time. It's a different experience when you eat in! We got the lunch special - 3 rolls which comes with soup or salad, and the Malaysian red curry lunch, which also comes with soup or salad. The sweet potato roll was crunchy and tasty - just what I wanted. The curry was unexpected since I never had this flavor before...I was thinking it would be like thai curry but it was a different flavor. Regardless, it was tasty. I got the tofu one which came with eggplants, bell peppers and other veggies as well as tofu. Ambiance was pretty nice. It's not overly formal but good for lunch dates. Service was good. Waitress was very attentive and filled out cups of water anytime it ran low. read more

Used to love their food... got visibly bad sushi that smelled. I took it back only to be told it was seared. Never again! read more

Aikou Asian Cuisine - Grey sushi - Asian Fusion Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

Take-out order by phone. Answers phone "Hello". Had to ask if this was Aikou. Proceeds to get 2 out of 3 items incorrect. Soba noodles (for them, spaghetti) provided when asked for Udon noodles - on 2 items. Small portions for the price. 4 shrimp in Soba spaghetti - $17. Inefficient checkout - have to sign paper on a debit card. Just an overall horrible experience. Used to be much better. Not going back - there are several better options in Flemington. read more

I didn't enjoy my food that much. It was only okay and pretty expensive. I've never gotten such expensive Tamago, although that was the best part of my meal. But TWO pieces of sushi for 9 dollars was really a lot. It wasn't too bad but I wouldn't come back. read more

The food here used to be good but has gone downhill over the years. Greasy, poor quality - every time we order we say it's going to be the last time. read more

Visiting my sister in the area and was craving sushi, so we decided to order from Aikou Asian Cuisine. She's ordered here before and mentioned it was really good. We picked up our order, which came out to about $65 for 4 dishes. I ordered the monster roll which is part of their special rolls. It consisted of: soft shell crab tempura, avocado topped with spicy tuna & spicy salmon. This sounded tasty and like it would be a large amount so I was disappointed to see these were presented similar to and the size of a regular roll. The flavors were fine - unfortunately the eel sauce was only distributed to the bottom of the pieces where the tempura stuck out. The textures all mushed together for the other pieces. I didn't really enjoy the roll until I got to those last two pieces with the eel sauce - the tempura was crunchy and I could make out the other ingredients more. This roll alone was $15, which I don't think is worth it for what it is. I'd love to love this spot, but I can't really justify it. I'm sure it's great, but I'm hesitant to give it another shot. read more

Check your takeout order before leaving the restaurant as the clearly don't understand the phone order or care ‼

1st time trying this restaurant. Have been driving by for the past 6 years, and it never looked open. The windows are totally covered with plain white shades and you can't see in, so the place appears closed. It is not a very appealing front to this restaurant, and so I never wanted to try it. However, I was recently told it is an active restaurant and the food, specifically sushi, is very good. So I decided to give it a try with a friend. As it turns out, the sushi and the food we ordered was very good. The atmosphere inside is nice and comfortable, surprisingly, based upon the exterrnal appearance. I wish I had known sooner that Akou was actually in business and that their menu was really very good. I strongly suggest they upgrade their window shades and replace with something that is more aesthetically appealing, and inviting to people not familiar with the restaurant!! But, the food is good!! read more

Our go to place in town, always great food and very good service. Sashimi and soft shell my favorite!!! Menu has wide variety, wait staff very friendly and quick to meet our needs. And, green tea ice cream the best! read more

Food is fantastic! Had the crispy sesame chicken, loved the crunch and the sweetness of the sauce. My daughter had the dancing dragon, she loved it. Husband got the special dragon ball, and he really loved them. read more

We eat here all the time, staff is awesome and the food can't be beat. The specialty roll selection has something for everyone and some of them are a whole meal all by themselves read more

Been here 3x in the past 4 months. The portions got very small and price is way to high. Last night I got a sushi roll combo and the rolls were the size of a penny around. Chicken satay 9 bucks for 2 mini sticks with 3 quarter size pieces of chicken. Tasty but way way over priced. Had to come home and eat dinner after a 72 meal at this place. read more

This is my go-to sushi place! It's consistently fresh whether ordering out or actually eating there. It's pretty much as close to quality New York City sushi as you can get in Hunterdon County and further inland. It's usually packed whenever we go: weekend or not, so I'd want to play it safe and make a reservation in most cases. However, my boyfriend and I were undecided about where we wanted to go out to eat to celebrate our anniversary and we didn't originally want to go to Aikou since we go there so often. At the end of the day, we decided why not? We already knew we were going to love the food and that's the most important part and the atmosphere is definitely cozy and intimate enough anyway. Plus, we could then bring our own bottle of champagne to celebrate as it's BYOB (score). We arrived without a reservation around 9pm (they close at 10pm) on a Monday and the place was already empty. We felt a little guilty and asked if they were still able to seat us. The kitchen staff was visibly already cleaning up, but they took everything back out just for us. On top of that, the service was as great as ever, all of the food was delicious as usual (and we really went all out), and we never felt rushed. I'd highly recommend in any situation and for any occasion. My favorite orders are the eel avocado, spicy salmon and tuna rolls. They also have an amazing lunch special: Miso soup, salad and 1-2 for rolls for under $15. Highly recommend! read more

Great sushi. Great, patient service. Wonderful ambiance. Highly recommend, likely the best sushi in the area.

Rude staff, stood there for 10 min as all staff were eating, never even acknowledged me. Will never come back

First time here...atmosphere is nice for a "storefront" place. Service was fine. Prices pretty reasonable. Presentation was nice. I guess, that's just what it all was......nice. Nothing outstanding. read more

I have been here in the past and it was okay, but this time was not great. The presentation is nice, but the food itself was not good. The sesame chicken was gross, tasted old and not well cooked. I got a Naruto roll and it had no flavor at all. Also just got a cucumber/avocado roll, best thing we got but can't really mess that up. read more

4.5 - The service and food here is next level. One of the better spots in Hunterdon County. You can't go wrong while choosing your appetizers. read more

I have been coming to this restaurant in Warren for several years and have generally enjoyed it. Recently, they started a new policy of charging a "convenience" fee when using a charge card. Even though the total addition is not large, I feel that it is inappropriate to charge for the use of a credit card. This is on top of reduced portion sizes, a decline in quality, and significant staff turnover. Regrettably, I will no longer be going. read more

I came here for my birthday dinner during the week. We arrived at around 6:30pm and were seated immediately. It did seem to get busy, which was surprising considering it was a Tuesday night. The menu has a bunch of options to choose from. Aikou offers sushi, Thai, and various other Asian dishes to choose from. I liked that they had a wide variety of options because while my boyfriend and I are sushi lovers, my mom is not. Thankfully, we were able to get our sushi fix and she was able to get something else. For appetizer, we all split the scallion pancakes. They were delicious! I would definitely recommend them. It came with about 6 triangle sized pieces and a dipping sauce. I also ordered the Tom Yum soup. This was another hit in my book. It was served piping out and was a bit on the spicer side. The spice level was just right. I also tried some of my boyfriend's wonton soup which was just as good. For dinner, my boyfriend and I split spicy kani roll, sweet potato roll, and angel roll. I preferred the angel roll while my boyfriend liked the sweet potato roll. I must also add that everything was plated nicely. While the food was good, the service was lacking. The timing was way off. This issue started when my mom was given her soup waaaay before the other appetizers were ready. She was practically finished by the time we received ours. There was also a very long wait between the time we got our appetizers to when the dinner came out. We ended up spending a couple hours at dinner. Overall, I'd say Aikou was good but nothing to write home about. I tend to prefer Kyoto (another sushi place right around the corner) a bit more. PRO TIP: Aikou is BYO! Don't forget to grab a bottle of wine before you go. read more

I love this place- excellent food. They are clean. Staff is polite. Good parking. Highly recommended

I'm surprised by the low average review because Aikou has always been a staple for me and my family. Their food is consistent and can always count on a good and reasonably priced sushi meal here. They have a great weekday lunch special and their special rolls are not to be missed - personally I loved the carnation roll. The crispy sesame chicken is always a fan favorite!! We got takeout here the other night too since can't dine in during the pandemic and quality is the same! read more

The past few times I've been here the service has gone down. Even worst my last visit there was something in my water then a hair in my salad. Smh. read more

Fast with my order, very kind wait staff, very knowledgeable folks, good atmosphere .

First visit mid afternoon Saturday snack, typical asian decor, matter of fact, efficient but not super friendly service but the server did warm up a little by the end. Had 4 appetizers, average crispy Thai squid (calamari), shrimp dumplings, good shrimp & vegetable dumplings and very good crisp duck rolls with plum sauce. BYOB . read more

Waited 0ver 60 min fir my takeout as I watched half the restaurant turn over and all t new tables get their food before getting mine. They charge a convenience fee for ordering online and make it look like you must leave a tip for takeout. Just acceptable service. read more

We have ordered take out from here many times - simply because we love sushi and it's one of the only places in the Flemington area now that another popular spot closed down. The sushi is fine - it's nothing fantastic or fancy but gets the job done. The owner is rude and acts annoyed when you go to pick up your food. They also are stingy with their sushi combos - they do not include soup and salad. read more

Read reviews of this place on Yelp and thought I'd check it out. To be honest, I'm glad I did. It is very nice and clean inside and the sushi is DELICIOUS. I tried some of my friends Chinese food and his chicken was very good, probably the best I've ever had. The sushi tasted so good and fresh. I do have some complaints though, I didn't like how you don't get any chips and duck sauce like most other Japanese/Chinese restaurants do. If they did, I would've rated this place 5 stars. We were just awkwardly sitting there waiting for our food starving. My friends got their soup/salad and my meal didn't come with a soup or salad which I found annoying. My meal was more expensive then my friends sushi she ordered and mine came with less pieces, and no soup or salad. I believe I got the Carnation Roll. The prices weren't that expensive, they were about the same as any other Japanese Sushi restaurant. I definitely recommend you try this place out! And order an appetizer if you're really hungry and can't wait for your food! read more

Aikou Asian Cuisine - Carnation Roll (I think) It was delicious and tasted very fresh! It didn't fill me up though :( - Asian Fusion Near Me - Flemington, New Jersey

The BEST unagi don. No one else from Baltimore to Parsippany gives you a big cut of eel like this. It's always little pieces or strips. Freaking great. I try to hit them up when I'm passing through. read more

Diverse menu of well executed Japanese, Thai, and Chinese classics. I generally prefer the Thai menu and select curry dishes. Not heavy, packed with flavor, but could use some extra heat. The most recent outing tried a sushi roll of jalapeño yellowtail topped with tuna and salmon. It was exceedingly fresh. Also sampled the udon noodles with chicken. Hit the spot, though unexceptional. Very clean, with slate tile and dark wood decor. Service is inattentive but I've always gotten fed. Rock solid spot if you find yourself in flemington. read more

I'll start by saying that we do like this place. Best sushi in Flemington, though we opt to travel out to other sushi places when we don't mind driving. The spicy maki combo is a good deal, but if you order it with "no crunch" (which is just filler fried panko) the rolls are tiny. The entrees are alright but we wouldn't go back here for them. read more

Food was great. My order was ready for pick up on time and it was correct. Will order again.

I would click 0 stars but that's not an option. We were the only customers within the store and yet food was still forgotten from our order. When it came time to pay and the receipt still reflected the missing items the server had no issue removing it from the bill. It was the owner that basically called us liars and had to confirm with not only the waiter but also the sushi bar that they had not made it. They'd charge you for the air you're breathing if they could. Also charged me for multiple drinks after asking me if I had wanted a refill. But that's partially my fault for assuming just like every other place I have ever eaten out that a refill would be free rather then a whole new drink charge for a drink with the same ice, cup, lemon & straw that I originally ordered. read more

OMG...the quality of sushi / sashimi is very uneven. They also sell "escolar" as white tuna. It is not. It's a different species. If you've ever had really good sushi than you know how important the quality and preparation of the rice is. They just don't get it here. If you order one of their "special rolls" you'lll find the rice compressed and without true rice flavor. But even worse is their attitude. We ordered a special roll with brown rice, it arrived with white rice. This is more than a dietary preference, but a health requirement for most people with diabetes. Brown rice is lower on the glycemic index. They insisted the rice was brown - even while we were looking at it and it was clearly white. They offered to prepare another roll but since we would have to wait for the preparation, we preferred a refund. It seems they couldn't apply credit to our credit card (we had already paid for the meal). Argumentative and rude, so annoying - and all this due to a mistake ( maybe it was not a mistake and they intentionally served white rice?). If you like sushi/sashimi - treat yourself to a truly wonderful experience at a good Japanese restaurant (not Taiwiwan, not Korean). read more

We went here for lunch again and again the food was great. We had the New Age sashimi, which had a fantastic sauce on it. The lightly seared tuna in the dish was really nice, but the salmon in it was a little less nice. Next time I think I'd ask if they could make the dish with just the tuna. We also had some of the special rolls (one was called a Yummy Yummy roll, and I forget what the others were) and all of these were good, complicated, and unusual. I ordered shumai again, and again they were tasty. One of the ladies in our party hates seafood so she had the orange beef. I didn't taste it but she loved it. The service still needs work--our server seemed like he hates his job, and he kept asking us if we were ready despite the fact that the entire table was still looking at the menu. I don't know what the rush was, since not all the tables were occupied. The food came out quickly, though, and unlike the last time they actually brought our starters out first. In a big city I'd probably leave it at 4 stars, but since Aikou is head and shoulders above all the other Asian I've had in Flemington I'll bump it up to 5. read more
