    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.

    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

    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 !

    This was our favorite sushi place in Park Slope. It's always been such a treat to dine here and savor our favorite dishes. Staff was friendly, but service was a bit lacking on a Friday night. The place was clean, and the ambiance was very nice. We ordered their special roll, Grateful roll: spicy kami avocado inside, and salmon, shrimp, and tobiko too with spicy mayo on the outside. This was amazingly delicious, and the highlight of our dinner. We also ordered our usual favorite, Miso Chilean sea bass. It was served with rice, broccoli and asparagus. The miso was on a separate side dish. This was a big disappointment as the pieces of Chilean sea bass were small, tasteless, and dry. Deciding not to drink tonight, we decided to order green tea with honey and lemon. Unfortunately, the tea was also not quite the same. Although we were overall disappointed, we will definitely give this restaurant another try.

    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.

    Classic, simple Japanese cuisine. I do feel like their Salmon Teriyaki is a bit overpriced but everything I've tried is done to quite a high standard. If you go, you're best with their sushi. It hit quite well after my 20 mile bike ride.

    Food was good. Service was ok, they aim to please. The ambiance was dark, but enough light to be enjoyable and intimate

    I was in a post workout sushi kind of mood and strolled over to 5th Ave. Yelp showed some good reviews for Kiku Asian Bistro, and I decided to give it a try. I was the most important patron there, since I arrived early, and was the only diner! After a quick, friendly greeting, I selected a seat at the sushi bar. After reviewing their lunch specials, I selected the Sushi Bento Box, which comes with 4 pieces of Sushi, an 8-piece California Roll, 2 Japanese Shumai, Edamame, and a side salad or miso soup. I was dubious how this meal would be, as the total cost was only $12! The salad arrived immediately, and the Bento Box in about ten minutes. Candidly, I thought it was great. The Sushi was fresh, as was the salad. The dressing was tasty (next time I will get it on the side). The California roll is a smaller radius than typical, making it easier to eat. It was very tasty, and the edamame tasted freshly cooked. The service was excellent throughout the meal, and I was asked twice if it was to my liking, and if I wanted anything else. The traditional décor, and dark wood ambience is very pleasant. This was a great lunch, and an excellent value. I look forward to a repeat visit!

    So where do I begin...I decided to visit Kiku for lunch because I had two pickie eaters with me. My niece only ate California rolls and she never likes to try anything. I told her she needs to try news things and she agreed. When we arrived at the restaurant, it was not crowded at all (A+), so we were able to sit closer to the television (the Olympics was on). The gentleman took our orders and returned with our beverages. Once the food arrived, I was delighted and so were they. The food was amazing, fresh, seasoned and ready to be devoured! The nice gentleman noticed my niece struggling with her chop sticksnand made her an easy to use one, by using a piece of paper and rubber band! I honestly couldn't thank him enough. Attentive, clean, and I was able to watch the Olympics! Food was amazing and I didn't break the bank. Safe to say, we're going back again soon. Thanks Kiku

My friends and I ordered the ozakaya donburi set, chicken karaage curry, kaki fried and a5 fried rice. The fish was buttery delicious. Loved how they serve a hot broth at the very end of your donburi set. Save some rice at the end for a nice experience to end your meal. The a5 was fatty and the karaage was fried perfectly. The restaurant was very busy when we went on a Saturday afternoon. The back dining area was crowded and very full. Our food came out quickly and i will definitely be back try some of their uni dishes. Highly recommend their donburi sets.

The tables are a bit small and tight though, so they brought out our food in courses. We started off with the Kaishin Don ($45), which was perfectly plated over a bed of rice. This one came with a good amount of uni, which was much appreciated. Then we had the Ozakaya Donburi Set ($49), which is such a fun one. You have a raw egg to mix into your seafood bowl accompanied with some pickled veggies and sliced sashimi. Once you've ate more than half your bowl, you can get a broth that finished cooking your fish and turning the rice into porridge. The broth is savory and tangy, which gives it such a nice and refreshing flavor. We enjoyed both of these dishes a lot and it was fun to make your own handrolls. Then came the Mentai Pasta ($19), which is sadly one of the worst things I've ever ate. Not only was there barely any Mentai flavor, but the mayonnaise completely overpowered everything. I couldn't get over how I might as well have ate a spoonful of mayo on its own; that's how rich and heavy this dish was. The bacon was overcooked as well but somewhat cut all the mayo. I even tried to add some soy sauce but there was no saving this pasta. We ended up tossing the rest of the dish and I am not one to waste food. I even tried to complain to the waitress but she just ignored it. It was unfortunate because the other dishes we had were amazing. Luckily we were still able to end on a good note as we ordered the Oshiruko ($12) for dessert. This came with two scoops of matcha ice cream, grilled mochi, and red bean. Everything went well together and the matcha was strong. It's wild how good and bad some of the dishes were here. Definitely stick to the sushi and rice bowl dishes and whatever you do, DO NOT order the mentai pasta unless you love mayo.

It's been open for a few years, so clearly it has a good enough formula to keep the neighborhood happy. I have been here once before, but returned last week after dining several meals at Tomoni in Jackson Heights. Apparently, the owners are friends. Nonetheless, I needed to make the comparison. After my first few bites of their Tora Don and Chirashi Don, it was clear that this restaurant has the better quality seafood. Each slice of sashimi had vibrant colors, clean taste, and the proper texture. Tomoni is not bad, but fall slightly short of this caliber. With that said, there is an even farther gap between their rice quality. Though Tora is very good, Tomoni produces nearly perfect texture and acidity for my taste buds. Other than the best omakase restaurants in NYC, Tomoni shines as one of the best versions of sushi rice in the five boroughs. Service is good and space is cute. If I have a craving for some decent Japanese food, I would drive 20 minutes here for a meal anytime.

Food: 3/5 I'm a huge sushi fan, so I was excited when I saw a deluxe sashimi set on the menu. Unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. The scallop was thinly sliced and lacked the rich texture I was hoping for. The salmon and other cuts were decent, but short and oddly shaped--chunky yet small, which made the whole presentation feel a bit off for something labeled deluxe. We also tried to branch out and ordered the short rib entree. For $21, it was shockingly small--definitely a single-person portion, not sharable. I added extra ikura to a salmon donburi bowl for $2, but it was barely a teaspoon's worth--just enough to say it was there. Oddly, the salmon slices in that bowl were thinner than the sashimi we had just eaten, and overall, it left me still hungry even after sharing a maki roll. Lastly, my husband ordered a green salad, which somehow took the entire meal service to arrive. When it finally came, it was just plain romaine, cucumbers, radish, and dressing. For a dinner that clocked in at over $150 (after tip), we definitely left underwhelmed. Service: 3/5 This part wasn't bad, just confusing. We were seated quickly, but the pacing of the meal was strange. Our seaweed salad and soups came out promptly, but the green salad came last, after the hot dishes and nearly after my husband finished eating. Also, a small thing--but when I'm paying $16 for four oysters, I want to know what kind they are. The menu just said "West Coast oysters," but our server couldn't tell us the variety or origin. Not a huge deal, but it added to a general lack of polish that didn't quite match the pricing. I don't think I'd return. For the price, there are better sushi options in Brooklyn with higher quality, better portions, and clearer service. Still, I appreciate new spots opening up in the neighborhood, and I'm always happy to try something new. Hopefully they refine the menu and service with time.

We started with the salmon belly carpaccio which I'd say isn't really a carpaccio because the salmon isn't sliced as thinly as you'd expect. But! I mention that just to set expectations. Nomenclature aside, it's an excellent appetizer. Served in a truffle and ponzu sauce, the salmon is lightly seared which yields two different textures to the fish. It practically melts in your mouth. Highly recommend this dish. For my entree I went with the trio don, which is 6 pieces of sashimi served over your choice of plain or sushi rice (sushi rice for me). The fish was fresh and flavorful. The portion was perfect for me. My boyfriend ordered a yellowtail roll and enjoyed that as well. We also shared a carafe of the cold house sake. I'd definitely come back and try more items on the menu. It's great for sharing and trying new dishes. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the prices were very reasonable.
