Teriyaki Lo Mein with Beef Lunch
Steve S.

I was in the mood for some Chinese food, and came across this place searching reviews. Although sushi may be what they are best known for, I really enjoyed the lunch specials i ordered. My girlfriend and I tried their general tso's chicken, sesame chicken, and beef lo mein. We really enjoyed all 3 of these dishes. General Tso's was my favorite of them all, just because I enjoy some spice to my sauces. But everything was really good here. Awesome flavors. And their prices are very reasonable. You get a large amount of food for a lunch special. I was very satisfied with everything here. I will be coming back for sure.

Green tea fried ice cream

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. It is tucked away at a very nondescript plaza and you wouldn't think much of it, but the food is good, the service is great, and the ambiance is classy and cozy. They also have bubble tea and fried ice cream.

Teriyaki Lo Mein with Chicken
Jeannie C.

First time visit was a success! We dined in during their Tuesday Specials menu and was pleased with the food and service. We were immediately seated and asked if we wanted drinks. After our drinks came, we ordered our food. The food was made fresh and were big portions. The chicken teriyaki were tasty strips with carrots, broccoli, onions, and mushrooms (which we took out). The chicken noodles came in a big bowl, but was missing a little flavor. The Shrimp teriyaki had many jumbo sized shrimp. It took a little longer to make but was good overall. I will definitely return to try some varieties of food.

What a Roll, Shrimp Tempura Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll
Emily S.

Tried the sushi this time and yum -- enjoyed my meal much more! The fusion rolls get a little pricey though Service was attentive and polite as always at Kicky's! Dim lighting gave a more sophisticated, but still casual vibe for dinner.

Avocado Roll, hibachi fried rice, and chicken teriyaki
Samantha S.

We haven't been to Kicky's since pre-Covid, but it did NOT disappoint. They run weekly specials for dine-in, making their sushi, entrees, and noodles incredibly affordable, pending the day you choose to go. It was crowded for a Thursday night, but our server was moving quickly and we always felt attended to. Being BYOB is a plus too, as we were able to enjoy a glass while looking over the menu. I ordered two sushi rolls (avocado) and capitalized on the discounted noodles by getting hibachi noodles and egg fried rice (no veggies). My husband ordered chicken teriyaki (as my honorary meat eater). The rolls were fresh! (Only complaint- they came out after our meals / noodles.) The portions were so large, it looked like we didn't even touch them. (We did and all enjoyed our food.) We definitely be back soon!

I've been here many times, both for in person dining and takeout. The food quality has varied. The menu is fairly large and the rotating dine in specials on different days of the week are good. Without the specials, though, it can be pretty pricey for "ok to good" quality food.

Super crispy and the flavor of sauce was amazing. I would go here just for this. Aaannnnd their fried rice has no business being as amazing as it is. I think they have a magician in the kitchen. Sushi was sooooo fresh and the size was great. They didn't skimp on the seafood at all. It was perfectly delicious. Will say the waitress did say we ordered so much and she didn't want us to take left overs because sushi is best enjoyed fresh. lol I think she just wanted to see us again, and we feel the same! Ambiance. Low music playing. Comfortable seats. Decor- little dated but as an 80's kid it felt like home. Not your laser show and DJ kind of venue but it soooo didn't need to be. We came to eat and that is exactly what we did. Enjoy our meal to the fullest. Enjoy and if you check them out please post photos! We want to try all the variety here.

The sign on the door is correct, we do love this place on Yelp…read more We were a little nervous coming to this place but we're very surprised. We went on a Monday so nobody was inside. We were greeted at the door and were aloud to pick our seat. The ambience is such a cool Asian inspired atmosphere. Mural on the wall, little table top waterfall on the sushi station, bonsai and other nicknacks on the shelves and tv showing peaceful marine life. The menu is very sushi dense, with the whole first 3 pages being sushi. I got the shrimp tempura, dragon roll, and Philly roll with a miso soup. My partner got the green curry, miso soup and white rice. My sushi rolls were so delicious, perfectly fresh, and just so yummy. Shrimp tempura roll 9.0/10 Dragon Roll 8.7/10 Philly Roll 9.1/10 The green curry was different from what we've had in the past, it came out in more of a curry soup. It has baby carrots, onions, chicken, corn, and potatoes. It was my first time trying curry and it was pretty good. 7.8/10 Overall my experience here was nothing but positive. Seemed clean, the wait staff was very attentive, bathroom was clean, service was fast, and atmosphere was cool to look at. Definitely will end up here again, also the price was awful for all the sushi I got. I'd give this place a 9.0/10. Such a cute spot. Hope it gets the business it deserves, just try not to miss the entrance like I did.. Food 9.5/10 Ambience 9.0/10 Service 9.8/10

During a recent lunch outing with my son, we sampled a variety of dishes including pork soup dumplings, wine chicken (served at room temperature), spicy beef noodle soup, and pan-fried chive buns.

The pork soup dumplings and pan-fried chive buns were also enjoyable, meeting our expectations in terms of taste and quality. In terms of service, we found the staff to be attentive and accommodating, ensuring that our needs were promptly met throughout the meal. While Shanghai Bun may not be for everyone, it delivers solid food and service that are in line with expectations. Overall, it's a decent option for a casual lunch, and I wouldn't hesitate to return in the future.

The bar honestly wasn't high, but this was probably the best dining experience I've had in Keyport,…read moreor close to it. I came here this past Saturday for an early dinner with the Millennial Chum and Co. I've driven or walked by this place a bunch of times, and I've always liked the exterior - it reminds me of an NYC Irish bar, if that makes sense. Not what I'd expect from a sushi establishment. I will say as a caveat that it IS smaller inside than I expected; it's basically one narrow corridor, so as a result it doesn't really have an opportunity to flex its interior design muscles too much. Not really a negative per se, and not something I think they can really do much about unless they move somewhere else with more square footage to play around with. I was a little apprehensive when I looked at the menu and saw they were boasting multiple Asian genres, including the aforementioned sushi but also some Thai, Chinese and Korean. (No, I didn't realize it was Asian fusion, which would have immediately explained this.) In my experience, having TOO varied of a menu can blow up in a restaurant's face, but regardless I came to try the sushi and went right to the special rolls. I opted for the Lover Roll and the Volcano Roll. The Volcano was okay for the most part - this was on me, but I didn't realize it had jalapeno in it, which is clearly referenced in the menu. I don't mind it from a taste perspective, but I hate the crunchy texture in a sushi roll (same with cucumber, which is a sushi dealbreaker for me). It was very easy to remove, and otherwise a perfectly fine roll. I think presentation value-wise it could use something since it basically looks like a pile of sawdust with the lobster salad on top, but it didn't diminish the taste. The Lover is excellent, and I wasn't too surprised to catch multiple sightings of it on other plates as we were walking out. The optics on that one were very unique, a bifurcated heart shape with a heavy dose of predictable pinks and reds. I hadn't really thought about it until now, but my sushi taste tends to go pretty savory with an emphasis on spicy tunas and wasabi mayo, that kind of thing. This is definitely on the sweeter side, which I'm assuming is primarily because of the honey. Regardless, it pairs really well with the rest of the ingredients. One of the better new sushi rolls I've tried recently, and it doesn't seem like I'm in the minority on that one. The service was very good; the Millennial Chum has been here before and said she'd had some issues on prior visits. Thankfully not a problem on this particular adventure - everyone had plans later in the evening and we were able to get in and out of here pretty quickly, probably within 40, 45 minutes or so. The price point wasn't bad either. Admittedly I'm used to being gauged on the regular in Midtown Manhattan, but special rolls being around $15 are a treat in and of itself. I'm not going to say that this is mouth-droppingly amazing sushi, but I think you have to grade on a slight curve in this area - Monmouth is pretty much a barren wasteland when it comes to its gastro offerings so when you find something decent, it's worth noting. Nemo is worth noting.
