A silent bar, a gleaming track, A gentle current brings snacks back. Small plates traverse the winding way, A silent, savory ballet. On plastic bases, colors gleam, The realization of a dream: From tuna pink to pale squid white, A flowing, edible delight. With eager eyes, the diners wait, To seize their chosen, passing plate. A sudden reach, a subtle lift, Embraced like a most welcome gift. The prices coded by the shade, The bill a tower gently made. 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

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

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 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

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

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 place rips you off! They add on charges and rack up your bill. Plus most of the "sushi" is imitation crab. It was over crowded and they didn't have enough servers. Will not be going back. read more

When coming closer to closing, you might have to order more from the waitstaff. They stop butting out new item around an hour till close. Very friendly and prompt service. The area was clean and tables bussed quickly. Definitely will be back to try the Roman as the other items are taste. I definitely recommend the jalapeño boat appetizer. There are tvs around the restaurant playing different things from k pop to dragon ball z. Nothing too loud. read more

Love this revolving sushi spot. Everything is fresh and some of the new menu items like the Phoenix Roll and Hawaiian rolls were really good. The Monkey Balls are the best fried option on the menu and cooked to perfection every time. 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 Revolving Sushi - First round - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 - Sushi Bars Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

I love everything about this spot. My family and I have been coming to this restaurant for around three years and we have always gotten great service. The food on the belt is fresh almost always and if it is not, they will absolutely bring you fresh instead of what is on the belt. We normally hit the spot up about 3 to 4 times per month and over the course of three years, we've probably eaten here over 125 times easily and maybe 2 to 3 times I've had to request a role be traded with fresh rolls just because the avocado in the roll has browned. The servers that work at this establishment are always incredibly kind. It is not some fancy uppity spot; it is just a small restaurant where you can get really good food at a really good price and they play television that creates an ambience and culture that you would expect in this type of establishment. Also, the chicken nuggets are the best chicken nuggets ever. I just wish I could order extra chicken nuggets without having to get extra fries because my kids love these chicken nuggets. read more

When you're unsure which type of sushi will satisfy your craving, Kiku Sushi Bar is the perfect destination. Upon arrival, you'll be impressed to see a bar, revolving the tons of sushi around you with impressive variety to choose from, they have everything you need to fulfill your sushi and desert desires and more! Their seaweed and cucumber salads are refreshing, and the sesame seed balls and potstickers add a delicious touch to the selection. One of the best parts is being able to watch the skilled chefs work their magic while you select and enjoy your favorite sushi. I also appreciate supporting a family-owned business that puts so much heart into what they do. I do wish they added poke salads to their revolving bar menu and included hot sauce at every table--it would truly elevate the experience even more! My kids and I absolutely love coming here; it's become a cherished spot for savoring great food and creating memories together. 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

Not terrible but not great either. The carousel isn't chilled so the sushi is most definitely room temperature. Some of the food tasted and looked a little sketchy so we just moved it to the side. Service was fine but we won't be back. read more

Really good sushi, good service. Got there right when they opened and they filled up quickly. Each plate is $3.20. We spent about the same as we would at an average sushi place except we got to try a lot more rolls since the plates are small. They have sushi, entrees, and desserts on the conveyor belt. Can't wait to go back. read more

Fast service, absolutely you can sit down and literally eat in seconds. Drink service is lame, you have to look for the server and call them over. Now as previous reviews said it's weird your back is to the restaurant at the sushi bar, what sushi place is not like that... in this case it's the best spot to sit as you see all the fresh plates being dropped. This is super important as the plates were good but if you sit long enough you can def see what plates have been sitting for a scary long time. What we choose was good and fresh as we paid attention. It wasn't WOWWWWW but it was a great deal for the price and your sushi fix. We will be back. It was very busy but fast turnover. read more

Affordable convenient spot for lunch! This is my best friend's favorite hometown spot so we had to stop while in town! The food is fresh and you can even order the appetizers to be made on the spot. I loved the variety of options. I loved the novelty of the revolving sushi, but the way they seat you (if you are a party of 2) with your back to the entire restaurant is awkward. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this spot! There was a 10 minute wait or so when we got there but plenty of benches up front to sit. The place was smaller but really clean. Once seated at the bar our drink orders were taken and brought out quickly along with ginger and wasabi. There was soy and eel sauce already at the bar as well. The sushi was good and fresh however I felt like we watched the same empty ones pass. I really wanted to try the poke but that one was never filled the whole time we were there. The edamame looked kind of dry but was warm and tasted okay. I really enjoyed the Kiku roll and sashimi. Everything that should be cold was and didn't seem like anything was out long at all. Overall, definitely a great spot and at $2.75 for all sushi plates you can't beat that. The food was fresh and the place was clean. I just wish they were open Sunday but I'll be back!! read more

They have really stepped up their game in the last few years. They have new rolls all the time, tons of appetizers and many non-sushi options as well. They have a great combination of raw and cooked rolls as well as sashimi. They have plenty dessert options too. This place continues to improve. It's also always very clean and they'll make any roll fresh for you if you ask! read more

Sushi was good, decent options but beware if you don't sit near the kitchen where the sushi is coming out onto the conveyor belt you will not get much of anything...in other words sit close to the kitchen to get first pick or you won't get anything. read more
