The sushi was good, but not great. Speed of service is good and prices are reasonable for what you get. It's a good mid-tier sushi restaurant and, of course, has the novelty of the revolving sushi belt. If you're looking for a high end experience, this may not be your place. But, if looking for value, Kiku is a good choice. Note: 1) Ika (my personal favorite) is listed both on their website before you come in and even on their printed menu once you are seated in the restaurant, but be aware they do not have any and 2) be extra careful when communicating your order as the waitstaff will make assumptions on your behalf. For example, I asked if they have salmon roe to which the waitstaff said "yes", but when they brought my order to our table they had substituted salmon nigiri in its place offering no explanation nor telling me what to expect, just leaving me to discover it after taking the plastic cover off the plate. read more

KiKu Revolving Sushi is an interesting spot to bring friends, family, or kids, especially if they have never tried sushi or experienced a revolving sushi restaurant before. It is an inexpensive dining option, and the conveyor belt offers a variety of small plates, including appetizers, nigiri, and sushi rolls. One thing I like is that you can sample different dishes without having to commit to full-sized rolls like you would at most traditional sushi restaurants. Beyond the conveyor belt, they also have a regular menu featuring bento boxes, ramen, fried rice, and yakisoba, which are freshly prepared in the kitchen. As far as sushi quality goes, it is about what you would expect from most revolving sushi restaurants. You are not coming here for the highest-quality sushi, but rather for the fun and the opportunity to try a little bit of everything. My usual favorites are the Rainbow Roll, eel, and tuna nigiri. On this particular visit, I felt the raw sushi could have been served colder, which was a little off-putting, so I stuck mostly with the cooked sushi options. This is one of the downsides of revolving sushi restaurants since you never really know how long a plate has been circulating on the conveyor belt. Overall, this is a fast and affordable place to dine, especially for sushi beginners. It is worth checking out for the novelty and variety, but given the inconsistent freshness I experienced with the raw sushi, it is not somewhere I would visit frequently. read more

KiKu Revolving Sushi - Escolar, Rainbow Roll, and Mackerel - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

My kids love this place. 3.75 a plate, 2 pieces of sashimi for that's hard to beat. With my monsters preference of it this is the best deal. Clean with good quality. They have other menu items. You can also order plates instead of waiting for them to come. Overall the ambiance is a clean style with k pop band or dragon ball z on different screens. read more

Kiku sushi is a conveyor belt sushi spot that it says online cost $2.50 for each plate, but when you go in person the plate costs $3.75 each. I told the workers that online I read it says that and she just apologized and says we have to go with the $3.75 price. They need to fix the false advertising I didn't bother to argue too much about it and just hoped the food would compensate for it. I picked a few items on the sushi converyor belt such as shrimp tempura, volcano roll, and some other roll with salmon and nothing really stood out everything was around a 5 to 7/10. The one item i ordered separately was the calamari and that actually was super crispy/tasty 9/10. Everything else was okay and really hope they update their pricing because it adds up and its false advertising. Food was also okay. read more

Came in Friday night for a quick dinner out. Waited a few minutes to be seated, sat at the bar which was clean, and we received friendly service from our server. Unfortunately the first items we grabbed seemed like they had been out on the belt for quite awhile, one was the trust me roll which was soggy and the avocado had gone brown, the other dish was the orange chicken which was cold and also soggy. After this we paid more attention and only picked rolls we watched them put out. Overall we just did not enjoy the food and ate less than we usually would've when going out for sushi. read more

A silent bar, a gleaming track, A gentle current brings snacks back. Small plates traverse the winding way, A silent, savory ballet.

For all that spins on this swift ride, And has nowhere at all to hide and a rainbow of choices galore! read more

KiKu Revolving Sushi - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Stopped by Kiku on a Tuesday around 6 PM. It was pretty busy for a weekday and they were offering a deal that day. I know there are mixed reviews about the sushi, and unfortunately my experience leaned toward the negative. The sushi did not seem fresh and was sitting at room temperature. You could tell some of the rolls, especially ones with sauce, had likely gone around the belt multiple times since the sauce had started to soak into them. That said, the flavors were actually good and the fish itself did not taste bad. I have been to other rotating sushi spots where items circle more than once but still taste fresh, so this stood out to me. The restaurant itself seemed clean and I did not have any issues there. I just wish the freshness matched the flavor. read more

Best sushi in town and great happy hour. They have the food togo ready in less than 10 minutes and always deliver great customer service read more

This place has a large assortment of different types of sushi and sweets including many items that you don't see in other revolving sushi places. That being said, the fish is cut very thin and most of the rolls contain some sort of krab. The one price all day is a high price per plate so choose wisely as your bill can quickly add up. We wanted to order off the menu and getting someone's attention was challenging. The K-pop is a tad bit overwhelming but I did enjoy watching some of the anime. I'm not against returning, but I'm probably won't go out of my way to do so. read more

Oh my FULLNESS!!! I wish we had a place like this down in Tucson. Revolving sushi... Who would've thought? Every single plate I tried was absolutely delicious. It's sushi on a conveyor belt. made fresh by sushi chefs.... They charge by the plate and they even have salads and dessert on the conveyor belt too! If you're ever up in the Glendale area, this is a must!!! read more

The restaurant appears to be clean, service was okay but nothing to write home about. Although the staff was friendly the waitress left after taking only part of the tables drink order and then was shocked when others still had to put their orders in....food was not good. I've eaten here in the past and was impressed with quality, it has seemingly gone down since then. One of the rolls was very fishy smelling. Food that should have been hot were cold, and food that should have been cold were warm despite the restaurant just opening, which indicates to me they just throw leftovers on the belt from the day before. I think I ate maybe 2 plates total before I started feeling gross. read more

KiKu Revolving Sushi - 35$ in food - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Small mom/pop location with a very friendly staff. They also have a full menu and drinks (beer, sake, & soju). Obviously you can tell Nigiri is my go to but I do enjoy rolls once in a great while. The dress code is casual but you can definitely dress up if you want especially if it's date night. It's a lively atmosphere with K-Pop going on one tv & some anime on another. Drop in and give it a try. read more

This was a horrible sushi experience. We went at 330p on Friday and everything we tried was just bad. To start, everything was room temperature. We order some (hot)items off the menu and they came completely cold. We ordered some cold items and they came very warm. I wouldn't ever recommend or come back to this place. 0/10 read more

I'm not sure why this place has such low reviews, while it's obviously not some bougie sushi spot it is definitely not the worst I've had. The location is pretty decent size and was so busy when we arrived. Luckily we snagged one of the last seats. Service was pretty quick, took our drink order, explained how things worked and left us a menu with some more options that aren't on the belt. We arrived on Friday which was all day happy hour. This meant all plates no matter the color were all 3.50 s plate. I loved the fireman roll (I think that's what it was called) it was spicy and delicious. We also enjoyed a cucumber salad, spicy crab rolls, gyoza, California rolls and so much more. Vibe isn't super fancy, but everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. They also had many dessert options from cheesecakes to mochi.we ate so much and didn't even spend more than $40 with tip. Great deal in my opinion. If you're looking for something fancy and upscale this may not be your place, but it was fun and great for us. read more

This was our first time here and we are definitely coming back. The place was clean with friendly staff. They have a big variety of sushi rolls, salads and desserts. Everything we had was good. Our favorite was the octopus salad, the monkey balls and a salmon sashimi that comes with sweet onions and sauce that I can't remember what it's called. The only one we didn't like was the fried rice balls. For dessert we had sesame seeds balls (my favorite), prepackaged cheesecake and macaroons. All delicious. Like I said there was a lot to choose from and we will definitely need to come back and try other varieties. read more

What a selection! Of all the rotating sushi places I've been to -- in San Diego, San Francisco and Tokyo -- KiKu has the best variety of nigiri, rolls, appetizers and desserts. For that, I was very impressed. I will say that the one thing -- the most important thing -- that soured the trip was that most of the sushi rice was undercooked. It was not all the items, so I expect it was simply a bad batch that wasn't quality controlled. That half ruined the dinner. That aside, I still enjoyed dinner and would certainly gift KiKu another try. All sushi and rolls go for $3.20, and can go up to $9 depending on the item. The gyoza and karaage were nice. Also enjoyed the edamame. I was pleased to see nigiri offerings include Japanese snapper, ikura, yellowtail, mackerel and scallop. There was one dish that surprised me: The Bubble Pop Roll. I took it mistaking the pop portion, believing it was ikura. As I brought the plate to the table, I leaned in, head cocked. Ikura is never that large -- what on earth is this? I couldn't tell. I opted for a bite and was shocked that the pop portion was mango-tasting jellies. It was a California roll with these jellies stacked high. My response was to immediately recoil, as the flavor was nothing I expected. Then I found that the creamy crab melded so well with the jellies. To my absolute surprise! I ordered another. I recommend trying it once, and before you judge the dish. They also serve full dishes, like teriyaki chicken, bulgogi, yakisoba, fried rice dishes, udon, ramen and other dishes. They also offer about one dozen types of sake, including unfiltered and strawberry, peach and plum sake. Wines are basic -- a Chardonnay, Cab, Merlot and a Sauvignon Blanc. The only other thing I dislike is that the team does not take the plates until your meal is over. So you simply keep the stack of dirty dishes at the table (Kura has spoiled me there). read more

Kiku easily became a family favorite after our first visit years ago. Current price for items on the belt is $3.20 - still affordable thankfully. I know there has been some reviews that mention low quality and such but I think it is undeserved. This is a very casual sushi/Asian restaurant so of course quality isn't going to be on par like say, Nobu. You are dreaming to expect that at $3 per plate. I believe the quality is very good for the price and many others agree as this place is always jammin'. All of the stuff we've tried over the years have been delicious and I appreciate that new items are introduced every once in awhile to keep things interesting. Many forget that you can always request the belt items be made fresh for you if they've been sitting out too long. This can help address some perceived quality issues if it bothers you. Service has been consistently sparse but friendly at least. If you happen to visit during a busy time, don't fret about waiting too long. A lot of tables turn over fast and staff is very good about cleaning up quickly once the guests have left. Being budget friendly, serving delicious items from the belt and kitchen, and decent service kept us coming back. I hope Kiku stays for many years to come! read more

I am so please with this gem. The revolving belt that all the plates cam by on was amazing It does go by a little fast but that's good because if you miss the sushi you want, it doesn't take super long to come back around. It's also funny to watch my teen try to get one she wants and then it's just fast enough and she has to wait again.. lol.. The sushi was a great price and the smaller plates allow you to get a little of everything without breaking the bank. The establishment was clean and the staff was nice. We will go again soon . read more

party of 6 for a teenage birthday dinner. 2 children, 2 teenagers, 2 adults. Food was ok. My complaint is with the lack of transparency for a mandatory 18% gratuity added to my bill. The waitress sheepishly informed us of this as I was handed my bill. We picked our food off a conveyor belt for goodness sake! very little interaction with the waitress, I tip well when the service is good. Tipping should always be optional especially in a restaurant like this. Not added shadily to a bill at a restaurant with virtually no service! First and last time going to this restaurant. read more

Classic conveyor belt sushi spot, service was great and I enjoyed the sushi. Would recommend for good sushi at a good price

The sushi is ok but I like that I get to try many different kinds and the food is ready when I get here. Specially when I'm hungry. I come here regularly I just wish they had a better way to tally the wait time. As of now they have a sign in paper sheet. The problem I have seen is that people would scratch the names above so they get called faster meanwhile other loose their spot. The place is kind a small and there is always a line to get there. Ambiance is busy like but also family style. This is not a place to come and hang out or drink with friends. As there is plenty of people waiting. I'm not saying rush to eat but staying here for two hours is to long. read more

I am team Kura... as someone who grew up in Japan, the lack of nigiri option was disappointing. Rolls after rolls, mostly with crab salad. Just not my thing. The service was next to none either. My partner wanted to order wine, nobody came to check on us so we became full and asked for our check. The portion is quite small as well. Laidback atmosphere for sure. read more

KiKu Revolving Sushi - Tako - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

It was my daughter's birthday and she requested sushi train restaurant. We found this place on google. We arrived, and there were several empty tables. They requested we wait while they cleaned one. Other people walked in and were immediately seated. We were starving, but waited for them to clean table. Once seated we selected several items from passing conveyor belt. My husband and son were on the way. After trying several items, we called them and told them not to bother coming as sushi was meh and we were leaving after a very mediocre experience. They arrived anyway, and my husband also tried the selections (as we only sampled them) and said he agreed about taste and wouldn't order anything for himself. We are very experienced sushi eaters and this has been the only time food not finished. I mean, who doesn't finish sample plates?! read more

My family and I love coming here for sushi. The portions being smaller means you can eat until you're full and you don't have to feel guilty about still having half a roll on your plate that, let's be honest, doesn't save too well in AZ. No stress about buying dry ice just to bring home leftovers. I will say, however, eating until your full can be somewhat detrimental to your wallet if you bring someone along with a bottomless pit for a stomach. At about $3.50 a plate, someone able and willing to eat 10 plates on their own can end up being a bit much. That price isn't bad if you don't have that problem, though, and I think this sushi bar would be a great spot for a date rather than a group or family outing. The sushi is great, the restaurant is clean and just the right level of cozy, and the staff are both friendly and attentive. My husband always gets the little peach candies they have with the desserts at the end, and seems to look forward to the entire dessert section the most. read more

Food was not the best and waitstaff was none existent. Food was definitely questionable.
