    Kiku is a hole in the wall Japanese sushi place in fed. Now the service can take a while because it's so small so be prepared to wait a while longer for your food (both dine in and take out). However they make up for it in flavor and quality! You get huge pieces of sashimi and the eel and cucumber roll is to die for. The tuna and mango surprised me and I actually enjoyed the combo. I love a good sweet potato roll and this one was huge. So when you come here prepared to wait but you'll get a huge spread of sushi.

    Some of the best and biggest sushi rolls I've ever had! The California roll was the freshest, most crab filled roll. Service was great especially for a such a large group order. Everything was perfect and extremely delicious. Some of the best prices I've ever seen and paid for sushi, too, especially considering the size of the rolls. We also got a fun, surprise roll in the order. It was loaded with tuna and salmon and was absolutely delicious. Kiku sushi is a smaller restaurant but is worth the visit! Can't wait to make this my go to sushi restaurant!

    We ordered delivery from them and they did not disappoint! All of the fish tasted very fresh and was melting in my mouth. They had a good variety of rolls, but also had combos which allowed mixing of nigri/sashimi with sushi rolls. I would love to go here in person and see how these taste at the restaurant but 10/10 I recommend. Will likely be my new go to sushi!

    The old man and his wife seem to finally retired but nothing about the quality of this place has changed when I finally came back years later. This small, unassuming shop in a posh neighborhood could easily be overlooked if you aren't in the know. But word of mouth for years and now modern review sites can clue you in to what might be the best sushi south of the Mason-Dixon. You don't come here for quick. You come here for fresh and delicious. Individual and roll service are my preferred method (the sad state of having a shellfish allergy) and each one is presented to you with the personal touch of the kitchen that's still carrying on as it always has. My pictures are poor substitutes for personal experience especially since I couldn't keep my hands off it before snapping. Try it, love it.

    **small, modest restaurant with good prices!! I am a huge sushi lover, and I really liked this place! The rolls are very standard but the portions are BIG. They're not as creative as Shoyou Sushi down the street, but that's ok with me, considering it's much cheaper! The restaurant is small and there aren't too many seats. So I'd say it's good for more casual meals. The service was good for me. Street parking since it's Fed Hill.

    No notes. I ordered from Kiku after a baseball game and it was the perfect post-game dinner! The rice to filling ratio on the rolls was perfection. The tofu was crispy. The pancake was crispy and filled. The sashimi was fresh. The rolls were yummy. The sauces were included and added to the eating experience. Everything I ordered was included with napkins and utensils. Would definitely order from Kiku again!

    started out a tiny bit skeptical due to the prices - the portions are HUGE! agedashi tofu was good, my first time trying it though so i won't rate it tuna mango avocado roll - for 8.99 my expectations weren't huge but the roll was massive, more like a gimbap. it was a little harder to eat but yummy. sashimi deluxe - the cuts were pretty generous and the waiter helped us identify all the fish :) burrito - my dad finished half and was already pretty full the restaurant is cozy and warm, really enjoyed my meal and will definitely order less next time their portions are huge

    Good service, my meal was pretty simple but my friend's was beautiful and tasted great.

    Orioles Roll
    Monica T.

    Stopped by Kiku Sushi after an Orioles game. Of course, we had to get the Orioles roll! It was HUGE and filled with crab flavor. We also got the Alaska Roll which was full of fresh flavor. In addition, we tried a poke bowl. It wasn't our favorite (even though the fish was fresh). I would stick with the sushi and miso soup. The restaurant is small and nothing fancy, but the service was friendly and fast.

    The sushi rolls were really good. A bit on the expensive side. We got the dragon roll, rainbow roll.

    I came here because the reviews were really good. I went at lunch on a weekday and it was busy. Every table full. One guy working. He was friendly but busy with take out orders, tables, and also making the sushi rolls. Stretched too thin. But never showed the stress. My reasoning for not giving more stars is the fish didn't taste fresh. I have no problem with the cost. I've paid a lot of money on sushi and sashimi at other restaurants. I've also paid not so much on the same food and received fresh ingredients. The eel in my roll was all skin and fat. Not much meat. The nigiri were perfectly made. I couldn't eat many of them because they put mango on top (which isn't listed on the menu and I'm allergic). The fish didn't seem right. There wasn't a bad smell but if you know sushi and fish in general than you know!

    I stopped here for dinner one night for some sushi. Service was slow but not overly so. I asked for ice in my water and it definitely tasted old. I ordered the shrimp tempura and eel avocado rolls. Both were large portions and tasted good! The prices were also pretty reasonable in my opinion!

    Boooy did we underestimate the portion sizes of their sushi special rolls…read more A friend was visiting from out of town and we wanted to get sushi. Shoyou seemed to have good reviews so we walked in without reservations. Looking at the menu we thought oh the three of us can easily demolish 2 regular maki rolls and maybe 3 special rolls. Nope. We had so much leftovers! And everything tasted so good! Its aptly priced. If you are getting a special roll it will be at least 4 to 8 pieces depending on what you get. My favorite of the special rolls was actually the spider roll which was made with softshell crab(and not pictured as it was promptly devoured) Would recommend if you're in the Baltimore area and want to support a local restaurant in a nice neighborhood. Don't fall for Azumi hype when places like this exist.

I also noticed they did the same for other tables, which really shows how much they care about the experience. I ordered four pieces in order from left to right: the maguro, albacore, sea bream, and toro. The maguro truly melted in my mouth. The albacore was delicious with a surprisingly generous portion. The sea bream was probably my least favorite of the lineup but still very good. The toro was easily my personal favorite, and I could have eaten 100 of those. Each order comes with two pieces which made trying different options even better. I also got the baked mussels and wowowowow they were so good. I genuinely wanted to order another round but I was already full. This is the closest spot I have found to an omakase style experience without actually doing a full omakase. It has more flavor, great presentation, and a little extra dazzle instead of just plain fish on rice. The only downside was that parking was a bit tough, but it was absolutely worth it for the quality of the meal. Highly recommend!

Definitely save some room for dessert as the matchamisu was a take on the tiramisu. The mascarpone, mango and matcha were a great combination. The service here was great. Our servers were attentive and we enjoyed the variety of seafood, Asian fusion and even saw some hibachi items. Azumi is a great place to enjoy some cocktails, sushi or hibachi. I highly recommend booking reservations in advance. The bartender did let me know they have sushi making classes and tuna carving sessions throughout the month. I'll definitely be back to try some different cuts of fish and their sushi rolls.

The servings are pretty sizeable - they really love putting their sushi platters in a boat which seems appropriately sized. It all makes for a great date night or small group dinner. It is staple in Fells Point being open for a couple of decades so the people sure do believe in this place. I thought the cuts of fish were very generous and tasty, but I was a little disappointed in the sushi rice. I found it a bit mushy and not seasoned properly. We mainly ordered sashimi or rice-less dishes. The cucumber salad was just that - rounds of cucumber. We got this with Crab Meat, but there didn't seem to be any dressing on it so it was fairly plain. I enjoyed the Sashimi Roll - they are large pieces that will stretch the average mouth to fit. We got a side of spicy mayo and found it more sweet than spicy. I appreciated that the Sushi & Sashimi plate came with small seaweed salad. All in all a great spot I would frequent if I lived in Baltimore - you really can't beat the location that enhances the dining experience.

I had the lychee Saketini (HH $8), and it definitely had lychee flavor. It was a little lighter on the alcohol though. I also had a 22 oz. can of Sapporo premium beer, which was also on happy hour for $7.50. Both the bagel roll and California roll were $6 on happy hour as well. I highly recommend the Volcano Roll (HH $12), which had 6 pieces of salmon and tuna top with a spicy mayo and eel sauce. We initially sat outside, but once it started raining, they helped us bring everything inside. The hostess was very kind and our server was excellent. In terms of the ambiance, there is not much indoor and outdoor seating. It seems like they mainly do take out. Also, street parking can be limited.
