I've been eating at Chikurin since it was Nanatori, and the food continues to be top-notch. This is our go-to takeout sushi place, which is great since their delivery zone is way huge in comparison to some of the other local spots. Their food is cheaper than some other places in the Midwood/Ditmas Park extended area, and the quality of the sushi is excellent for that price. Chikurin is one of the few places I've gotten takeout spicy tuna rolls from that actually has a decent spice level to them. And I order their garden salad every time mainly for the dressing. Their creamy salad dressing is addictive, and I wish I could figure out if anyone sells it bottled in the area. Grubhub and Seamless both have Chikurin on their list now, and I highly suggest you give them a shot. If you're like me, their chicken shogayaki could be lunch for three days with the amount of chicken they give you. Yum! read more

Great service! This place is bigger than most sushi places. I like their booth seats. It didn't take too long to get my orders on my table, so that's good! The sashimi was fresh and generous in size. And of course, they do have the $1 piece sushi/sashimi. Their appetizers are good too. Green Seaweed Salad was pretty generous too. The Seafood Dynamite is also very good and interesting. I love the fact that they have Eel, avocado and cream cheese roll on the menu. Usually restaurants only have Eel cucumber roll OR Eel avocado roll, and you would have to special request the cream cheese to be added in, and you wouldn't know the price until you ask the server. Combination Yakisoba- pretty decent. I ordered a few times, and there was one time where it was a little too salty, I guess the cook put a little too much soy sauce. But other than that, Yakisoba is good! Bottom line: I will continue to go to Chikurin on Ocean Avenue, because they are that good! read more

This location has been our primary (well, one of four) go-to for delivery and eat-in pretty much since they opened. Over the past year the quality of service has steadily declined - longer delivery or even pick-up times, inattentive service when half-empty, etc., however food was still good. Recently I called to place a delivery order (seamless and other online ordering websites for some reason place us outside of the delivery area), and that's where it went wrong. 1) Delivery was promised in under an hour - took 2 whole hours to a minute 2) Ebi fried, which I've ordered before, had 3 pieces instead of 4, and were billed at $8.95 instead of $5.95 3) When I called to speak with someone, I was first told that it has always been 3 pieces and $9, then told that the websites have outdated information, then that I should've ordered through a website, then asked to hold for a manager 4) Manager came on the phone in a few minutes and pretty much told me that if I don't know the menu it's my problem, order was paid in cash, so nothing they can or will do. To sum it up, the food is still fine, but it's their rudeness and devil-may-care-we've-already-got-your-money attitude that was the last straw. When I call for delivery or go out to eat, I don't want the drama, especially if I'm (over)charged for it. read more

I have been going to this place since 2001. Usually food places go bad after a year or so and prices sky rocket, but not this place.. It's quite opposite, food remained fresh.. P. s. they have renovated recently, so atmosphere became 1000 times better !!! read more

This is a great sushi place. I have been to many expensive to subpar sushi places, and this one hands down offers the best value. The quality of the sushi is overall one tier above the rest, not the best sushi I have had but certainly above-average. But the price that you pay is unbelievable, some of the rolls are just under 3 bucks which is insane. I've been to other places where the sushi cost twice as much and tasted worse. I'm a big fan of their tempura. Overall, it's important to note that many of there raw fishes come from vacuum packaging, which I'm not sure if it's a common practice. Sometimes I find the rice to be a tad stale, or the roll not being packed tightly enough. However these are rather small complaints, the overall quality of the sushi itself is about 4 stars. I decided to give this place five stars because the price to value ratio is excellent, and they have many other items on the menu that makes this a One-Stop place for a family. Especially if there are some members that don't like sushi and can opt for Hibachi or hot pot. read more

Sorry for the long review but this restaurant deserves a very detailed and thorough review. This place doesn't even deserve one star. Please read before you ever consider ordering from here. This has to be the most poorly run restaurant I've ever been to. Everytime I order from this restaurant, they ALWAYS mess up my order. 1) You have to always ask them not to save your credit card information because they do it automatically without your knowledge. I found out when they charged my credit card without my consent when I gave them the correct card number. The racked up more interest on my card than normal. This was around February 2017 and April 2017. They did this twice. I eat out a lot and I've never been to another restaurant that does this. 2) 1 month ago, I asked then how long will the delivery take? (This was Sunday afternoon around 4 PM). The girl said 30-45 minutes. I have waited TWO HOURS. yes, TWO HOURS for my food. I called twice to complain. The girl on the phone made an excuse that they are busy and they only have 1 delivery guy. I told her two things: A) I paid for my food just like everyone else B) she should've been up front with me and I would've ordered from somewhere else. Instead, I'm sitting here pregnant and starving. I live about just a MILE down the road and I always tip the delivery guys. When the delivery guy came, he admitted to me that that's the standard time they always tell customers no matter what the actual delivery time is. Therefore, he said that many customers always yell at him. Last time, I asked for my sushi to come with brown rice.I was charged for brown rice, however, my sushi came with white rice. I called and complained. The girls who answer the phone can barely speak English. It became so frustrating, that I had to ask to speak with the manager (who understood English a little bit better but not by much). He gave me a $20 credit which I was thankful for. It's not about the credit, it's about acknowledging their mistake. Today, I ordered sushi and asked for the ocean special roll. On the menu, it said $3.95. I thought the price was strange because special rolls aren't that cheap but that's what it said. My total of the order came out $10 more. When I questioned it, they said my roll was 13.95. I said to the girl, "Then why does it say 3.95 on the menu?" Her excuse was because it's an old menu and they just recently changed it. I told her that I just received this menu 2 Sundays ago. How could it be an old menu?! She obviously didn't have a good answer and kept on repeating herself. "It's an old menu, it's an old menu" When I received my delivery, the delivery guy asked me if he can look at my old menu. When I gave it to him, he ran off with with my only menu! I screamed because he was down the hall of my building asking if he's coming back. He said "yea yea. In 5 minutes" I waited 10 minutes. He never returned. I called the restaurant back complaining that their delivery guy took something that's mine without replacing it. The girl on the phone said, "we will bring one tomorrow". I said to her that I'm not home tomorrow. She says that they will bring one the next day. I said, "No. I want my menu! It's not about the menu. You can't take something that's mine and not replace it. That was my only menu and I can't order food without one. I'm also pregnant and that's the reason why I order food for delivery." The girl said, "I'll call you back." In 10 minutes, I got a call back. The girl starts telling me the same BS all over again. I told her that I'm never ordering food from them again and they lost a regular customer. The manager grabbed the phone from her and started yelling at me telling me that he's going to call the police because I'm calling "too" much and harassing them. I said "what?!?! You called me back!!! I have my phone records!!" He said "I'll send you 10 menus, just don't call here again!" I told him, "I don't need 10 menus. I need one." Several mins later, delivery guy comes with about 15-20 menus and shuffles it out like a deck of cards in front of me. What a huge insult! No apology. No nothing. The lady on the phone also lied to me about having a new menu because they took a black pen and drew a 1 before the 3 to make it $13. I'm not an idiot. I can tell that it's a pen. The issue isn't about a stupid menu. The issue is that they put the wrong price on their menu. They ask to see something that's mine and run with it when the guy said that he's coming back. Then when I complain, the manager threatens to call the police on me claiming that I'm calling too much and harassing them. I definitely don't need this horrible and rude service especially when pregnant. I have been regularly ordering here for the past 2 yrs. I should've just stopped ordering from them a long time ago but I always kept on giving them another chance. They made everything that happened seem like it's my fault. NEVER EVER again!! read more

The fish and rolls are so low grade and not very tasty. I was so displeased with the service. The "waitress" who brought in a different looking dish than what I ordered, started yelling and slamming menus and startled all the other patrons of the 'restaurant' SO disappointing after showing so much loyalty during corona. oh well. Never coming back to a place that mistreats customers so much. Also waited in their establishment for food for one hour because they prioritize their take out orders read more

Great food, very spacey(we got a private room also because we had a big party) and awesome service. Most of the rolls are about $10. They have special rolls that I've never seen anywhere else like the black widow and sweetheart roll. The Kani salad was actually delicious, which is getting harder to find because a lot of restaurants like to add new ingredients. The green apple smoothie was also great, as well as the sundae (don't know the name because I didn't order it). We were so stuffed by the end of the night, and the sundae looked so good that I just had to take a few more bites. PROS: great food, great environment, great service, and easy to find street parking CONS: none read more

Looks so so when you see the restaurant from outside, but don't let that mislead you, the place is beautiful and they have one the best sushi (and not just sushi). Fresh hand made rolls are the best, but I always order some of their main dishes which are always a success. Friendly staff and good food. This is all I am asking when coming to a restaurant. I will return run again, because they worth it. read more

Chicken Maki is incredible. Been ordering it for years. Beef negimaki, and pork gyoza is also delicious. Would recommend main entrees as opposed to sushi. Sushi is just so so read more

Pretty good sushi nothing special. The sizes are over rated. Personally prefer the chikurin in Ave Z.

Horrible customer service!!! Never will order from them again, even though I've been a customer for a long time. I've placed an order for over a $100 for delivery and asked for spicy mayo. They told me that it's extra but I asked if they can put it on the house since we have such a large order. They told me they cannot because it's not in their policy. I told them whatever and hung up. After an hour of waiting for my order I call back to see where my order is and they told me they never placed it. I don't understand if they were unsure if I wanted the order or not, can't they call back and ask? Anyways never again will I deal with them and wouldn't recommend them to anyone else. read more

Been going here for 12 or so years, and they used to be amazing! Although the inside was a tad bit dreary before the remodel, their staff was on point! For some reason after the remodel the staff just gave up. Came here just last week and my mom ordered a green tea while me and my brother got sodas. The sodas came. The food came. And yet the tea was nowhere to be found. The whole meal was coming to an end and finally we flagged down (not our) waitress. She brought it a few minutes later as we were signing the bill. They also forgot my appetizer even though when I was ordering out loud "rock shrimp" the waitress repeated after me while writing it down. What happened to you chikurin? All those fond memories now glossed over by flashy interior with no heart or soul. read more

Chikurin was above and beyond expectations. This place is a vibe. Chikurin has an outstanding menu, Chicken Tempura Roll was absolutely amazing. The staff was extremely pleasant and service is exceptional. Would love to go back soon! read more

Such terrible service. I ate here once, and I refuse to ever come back again. This place reeks of spoiled meat and that made me lose my appetite. I asked the waitress to bring me some tea, she never came back. Don't come here unless you want to sit in a place reeking of effluvia! read more

Today on my birthday, I walk in planning on treating myself with some sushi. I order takeout, 2 rolls, and Kani Chu. Tempura fried crab meat. An hour later I go home, settle down, open my bag, and I find raw crab meat. I'm highly disappointed since it is the thing I was most looking forward to. read more

Terrible, atrocious service. The food isn't that great either. The guy lied about including certain condiments in our takeout bag. Definitely do not care about their customers. Take your money elsewhere and save yourself the pain. read more

I just want to say that I miss this place a lot, because we've moved to NJ and as soon as we get a chance to dine in Brooklyn, we always visit Chikurin!! We used to live in Brooklyn and we had Friday sushi night:) Sushi are always fresh, service is fast and welcoming:) Price are reasonable and quality never dissapointed. read more

Ordered a few rolls and an entree. Nothing special. The Tokyo chicken was extremely salty. Rolls were Eh. Wife had to get the fried ice cream which seemed to have been deep fried in old oil. Gross! Typical low end sushi restaurant. Travel to another part of Brooklyn if you're looking for good sushi. read more

This deserves 10 stars. It's our absolute favorite place to eat. Delicious selection of fresh food. I would eat here every day if I could. Thanks read more

Visited this place couple of times, the miso soup tastes great, rolls are good too. What leaves to be desired is the customer service. The staff is not great, the delivery guy may be rude at times. Other than that the place is OK. read more

Never sat in, but I order delivery. This place is cheap and good! You definitely should try it.

My cousin treated me to this place since his friends were going there. Let me tell you that the sushi is cheap and plentiful for the cost. However, the sushi is not remarkable and not quality. I got an order of regular sashimi which costed $13, and I love sashimi but this place, it tasted like it was old. I would def recommend the rolls over the raw stuff at this place because who knows how long it has been there. Quantity does not mean quality in this place of business. read more

D.I.S.G.U.S.T. And that doesn't even BEGIN to cover my take out experience with this place. Chikurin's left me with fear and loathing in Brooklyn - and wondering if I'll ever be able to trust a sushi spot anywhere outside of downtown Brooklyn or Manhattan again. My boyfriend and I, opting to spend a quiet night at home and hankering for light Japanese fare, browsed Grub Hub by rating for nearby locations and Chikurin was near the top of the list. The menu seemed decent so we ordered away: miso soup, an alaskan roll, a scallop roll, a pair of yellow tail Rolls, rock shrimp, and bacon yakitori. Simple, no? Tap tap! on ye olde iPhone, and we were expectant of prompt deliciousness. Right? WRONG. We placed our order at 9:17PM, and Grub Hub said that our estimated delivery time was 10:07PM. A bit of a wait, but for promise of good food, I find my patience extended. 10:07 came and went - and the doorbell didn't herald delivery until 10:36PM. My boyfriend went to pay for the food, at which point the deliveryman proceeded to argue with my boyfriend over the tip. 'C'mon, man, I came all the way from Ocean Ave.' 'All the way?' ...Google maps says 8 minutes - 11 in traffic. You're a half hour late. So instead of what you were going to get for tip, you now get nothing. G'night. We settled in, opened the containers, and everything was neatly packed, pristine, and the rolls were prettily presented. I noted that the yellowtail had a slightly off color (tan to brownish), and, rather than minced, was a solid block tucked in with chopped scallion. After popping one into my mouth, found that it tasted off. After a second one, that was confirmed. I moved on to a piece of the scallop roll, and immediately spat it out after biting - the scallop was slimy with an metallic and off tinge. I held out hope for the salmon, which was the right color and had been chopped before being wrapped in its rice blanket - only to feel rage settle in as I tasted the distinct flavor of SMOKED SALMON (and not even quality!)mixed in with raw chopped filet. I don't know if they cater to those with kosher diets - and even if this is so I resent my sushi being 'watered down' with cheap product. My boyfriend's summarily soggy shrimp capped the meal, with the yakitori being the only saving grace - if only it'd arrived warm . Will NOT be ordering from here again, after this have NO desire to visit their location, and HIGHLY advise for anyone else to avoid their takeout at all costs. China Tokyo is a much better bang for your buck. read more

I definitely recommend this place. It's cheap and the food is delicious. The service is great.

I really wish I could give them 0 stars right now! So I made an order on grub hub for pickup from Chikurin on Avenue M. Now, my boyfriend is highly allergic to seafood and I noted that in the order on his food (as you see in the first picture). So, we get to the restaurant at the time the food should be ready, and I had to wait another 30-40 minutes for the order to be completed. We get back to my house (in Far Rockaway) and open the food only to find that his food has masago all over it. Now, this was placed on the chicken tempura roll and got all on his other rolls, making them inedible for him. I called grub hub to complain, they called the restaurant and the restaurant denied it. My boyfriend then called the restaurant and they denied it as well, and when he said "fish eggs are seafood are you a fucking idiot?!" The woman started claiming that it's not seafood. Sweetheart, it comes from a fish in the sea, it's seafood! Now obviously he didn't eat his food but not paying attention to what they do can have very serious consequences when someone is anaphylactic! I'm in SHOCK not only from them being that damn stupid, but also to deny doing it! Absolutely disgusting for an establishment to be like that. Beware when ordering from there. read more

I've been coming to Chikurin for about 10 years now. It is hands down one of the best sushi restaurants in Brooklyn. They have a huge variety of tasty salads, appetizers and rolls. I used to visit chikurin daily now its biweekly or on occasions. I celebrated many events here and still plan to in the future. The waiters are really nice, I got to know them and the owners well. The food is always fresh and they have very talented sushi chefs. I honestly love and rave about this place. I never had a bad experience. its affordable and local. The atmosphere after renovation is amazing. They invested alot. This is by far my favorite sushi spot. I will always continue giving them business. read more

I love this place and this is the household's sushi spot. I love their creative rolls and we ALL love the salmon teriyaki. The price is definitely the best part of this place. If you're looking for a cheap delicious meal, then Chikirin is definitely your spot. read more

This place is not what it used to be. Prior to There renovation they were good. I went there today the service is good but we asked for noodles something that we can feed our baby and the waitress recommended something and we told her its for the baby and what it ended up being is a large soup with chicken, noodles and fake seafood yuk!!!! The sushi rolls; They have a lot of special rolls on there menu when you actually try them they are not special at all. I would recommend sushi spots on Emmons avenue instead. Also They brought everything out at once the appetizers and hot entrees and sushi. The food is not fresh as well!!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

My neighborhood Japanese spot! I live nearby, so always prefer to walk over. I simply love these guys. I think I've order close to every roll and they are all great. Fresh and amazing presentation, plus the amazing prices. They have bottles of the best plum wine at $15! I think I visit weekly now, and I have yet to have any negative experience. read more

Just tried to call to place an order for pick up. I asked one question prior to placing my order and received the RUDEST response EVER. Honestly screw this place, there's better sushi in the area.
