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!
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.
Serious portion! Fish was very fresh and generous portions. I rarely leave anything on the plate when it comes to sushi but I had to give up. Great value and highly recommended. The restaurant is in the very lively section of the town and I really enjoyed my short walk from the harbor front to the 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!
Kiku Sushi has been the most reliable thing in my life for two years running. The joy I feel from eating any of the rolls at Kiku is incomparable, and the Hungry Andy Roll remains my most favorite meal in the world. Consistent, upstanding quality, considerate customer service, and flavor expectations. They may take some time with an order, but that's because they're getting it perfect, and it's a very small establishment. I'm moving out of the city soon, and I will miss Kiku Sushi like nothing else!
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
Great food, even better price. Sushi/sashimi are very fresh and delicious! Seafood pancake is super yummy and filling. Highly recommended!!
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.
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!
Best sushi in the city hands-down. Great deal for how much you get too! Food: 5/5 I can't tell you how fresh this sushi tastes, you just have to try it. I am a tuna girl but and can only vouch for that personally, but my family also has high standards for sushi and they were all very happy. Usually if they see an empty restaurant they think the place is not good, but I was able to convince them to stay so I could say "I told you so" Service: 5/5 the gentleman that served us was nice and attentive, able to deal with take-out simultaneously. Ambiance: pop music playing in the background, underwhelming setting compared to how good the food is, but it's clean. Tables typically seat 4 but they made it work for our 7 people. read more

This place is underrated. So very underrated. Nestled between the Thai restaurant (also a fave of mine) and another spot on Light street, it's super easy to walk past if you don't know they're there. But they are, and they represent sushi oh so powerfully well! From service to food presentation to the food itself. Lawd the food! 100 out of 100! They also carry beverages which you can choose from the glass door refrigerator at the back. Bottles available. Wink. The spot isn't posh by any means. You walk in, and the Server will smile and nod that you can seat yourself. What they don't have in terms of fancy they sure do make up for it with everything else. Super, super reasonably priced. Clean, pretty restaurant, fresh food and delightful staff. Staff, Eswuin the young Server is one of the best I've come across. He reads his customers well. He knows exactly when to approach and when to leave well alone. He knows when you're in need of a little extra love and when you just wanna chill with hardly any words. And get this! He's the ONLY SERVER! It has never been to capacity on any of my visits, but I've seen him handle more than four tables, delivery orders (and you know DEM DRIVERS can get impatient) and walk in 2Go customers like a true champ! His energy is so sweet. So too the Chef and BOH staff I've run into, but Eswuin is THAT GUY! Please, when you visit, tip him well. You'll absolutely experience how deserving he is. Since coming to B-More I've had the pleasure of discovering many amazing spots and I'm so happy Kiku Sushi is one of them. I think this is around my one-year anniversary of coming to this sushi restaurant. I'm embarrassed I'm only now reviewing them. Hey Eswuin! The End. read more

This little "mom and pop" style Japanese Restaurant is my favorite sushi spot so far! The ambience is very cozy and inviting. Good for date night or casual lunch. The staff are friendly and attentive. The raw sushi is pretty authentic and tasty. Portions are fair and price point is reasonable. The menu had a good variety and I feel like there's something for everyone. Raw sushi, cooked sushi (ala carte pieces, rolls); fried items, salads, soups, sashimi, pokebowls, noodles (stir fried, soup); japanese pancakes (okonomiyaki) and different beverages, etc. Quite a few times I've gotten the Deluxe Chirashi Sushi before, both dining-in the restaurant and through take-out orders with DoorDash. It was super awesome and has to be my favorite! It's a bowl of sushi rice with different vegetables (varies: kale, mixed greens, cucumber, radish/ daikon, avocado, micro greens) and colorful delicate slices of seafood (both raw and cooked: tuna/ ahi, seared tuna, white tuna/ escolar, salmon, yellowtail/ japanese amberjack/ hamachi, mackerel, shrimp/ ebi, egg/ tamago, crab stick, fish eggs/ tobiko). It's definitely like a treasure box from the sea. I get so happy when I see this dish! It's almost too pretty to eat! XD I've also tried a few different rolls like: Baked Salmon Philly Roll "Oven cooked salmon, cream cheese, avocado, spicy mayo, sweet sauce" (baked in a foil packet), Eel Cucumber Roll (Unagi), Maryland Real Crab Roll "real crab mix with Japanese mayo, old bay, avocado, cucumber crunch flakes, wrapped with soy paper, special sauce", 3 Roll Combo (Spicy or Regular: California Roll, Tuna Roll and Salmon Avocado Roll). The Spicy Cali Roll was amazing!!!I've also tried the Seafood Pancake (okonomiyaki) "made with wheat flour batter, shredded cabbage, onions, carrots, squash and okonomi sauce, Japanese mayo, on top and shrimp, clams, and mussels". What I really like is how well packed the take-out orders are! They Miso Soup is wrapped in saran wrap to make sure it doesn't spill. There's a piece of carsboard under the soups to make sure they lay flat. The Miso Soup is also very flavorful with lots of tofu and seaweed inside, not watered down with no flavor. The sushi rolls are packed in clear boxes efficiently and with good presentation! I recommend to definitely check this place out! You won't be disappointed (: I can't wait till I order sushi from here again! read more

The sushi rolls were really good. A bit on the expensive side. We got the dragon roll, rainbow roll. read more
After 7 years in the neighborhood, I don't know why it took me so long to try Kiku! Actually, I do know why, it is a little pricy. I tend to get simple roles. As a result, it can be hard for me to stomach a place that charges more than $5/6 per roll. All that aside, we but the bullet and order just 3 rolls. Total bill came to almost $30 for 3 very basic rolls, so I was anxious, but I should not have been. The food was amazing and the portions were great!!! In addition to the rolls, they threw in a couple pieces of sushi as well! Will definitely be back. read more

The food here was quite good. We stopped by on a whim and in the mood for sushi. They seemed upfront about having to increase prices in the pandemic and inflation. It was quiet in the restaurant. Small inside with a few tables to pick from. We got the combo specials of one specialty roll and one regular roll. I think I got a Hungry Andy Roll and something else... was in a cream cheese mood. And these hit the spot! I was definitely full. We also got gyoza. And these were ok. The meal also came with miso soups which is nice. I just feel like I saw a thumb go into my soup and my sushi upon delivery. I just tried to not think about it... server seemed new. The food was good though. I think we'll be back. read more
I came here for the first time on Valentine's Day, and WOW, this restaurant had absolutely amazing sushi and portions. This place is definitely my new go-to sushi spot in Baltimore and beats Shoyou Sushi any day. First of all, they offer a much wider variety of rolls than Shoyou and have way more raw fish options. At Shoyou, I studied the menu for so long to find something I liked...but ultimately there were very few options that had what I wanted - it was so much tempura, imitation crab, deep fried rolls, baked rolls...very Americanized options. At Kiku, I immediately identified two special rolls, the Kiku Dragon and Double Salmon Roll, that met my party's cravings. The fish in the sushi was incredibly fresh. They gave GENEROUS portions of raw fish and avocado, and their regular rolls serve EIGHT pieces, not six!! The presentation was beautiful. Not only that, the kind chef gave us 2 complimentary piece of eel nigiri since the wait was very long tonight. You order at the cashier and don't really get any wait service, but the family that owns the restaurant is very nice. Because they're a small business, it can take awhile to get served (40 mins until entrees served) but they told us it'd be an hour wait ahead of time so we knew. Prices went up on average 15% from the menu I'm posting due to inflation they said, so the prices were about as pricey as Shoyou but so worth it! Parking is free on Fed Hill main street after 8pm. 5-8pm is $2/hr, before 5pm is $1.50/hr I believe. Good amount of seating inside. read more

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! read more
I love this sushi spot! Giving it 5 stars for the excellent quality of sushi and they don't use filler fake crab meat in everything like Shoyou sushi down the street. One roll is extremely filling - my favorite is the eel crunch roll for 14 dollars - literally has a whole avocado in it. So good! This place does have some notable cons that I would like to mention: - they never pick up the phone, I have tried calling them literally 30 times. I talked to them about it and they said they didn't get a call so ???? -this means that I have to go in person to place an order and then wait for my food (which isn't the end of the world since I live next door) -they are closed on Monday and Tuesday - these hours are not up to date on google -it's a family operation with one person making the sushi which means that they can be really slow at times. I once waited 45 minutes when sitting down with my family for the sushi. Nevertheless I'm giving it 5 stars because it's the best sushi I've had in Baltimore! Update*** they picked up the phone today!!! read more

I've had a lot of sushi and it takes a special effort to impress me. They brought it big time; maybe the best roll I ever had. It was a door dash, so the ambiance was my hotel room. Fortunately, hotel staff helped me out. Here is my 3D roll, some sashimi, and my crunch salmon avocado. I will be back! read more

A few friends and I wanted sushi so we headed over for an early dinner on a late Saturday afternoon. Parking was relatively easy since we arrived around 4:30 before Fed Hill got crowded. It's a small restaurant with about 5-6 tables and about 5 seats along a narrow food bar. We grabbed a table and were excited that there was only one other table occupied. We quickly learned that didn't mean anything about time since there were only 2 employees working. While it was a little slow, the food was delicious and the sake made us forget how long we'd been there. The Marcus Roll was delicious and everyone else enjoyed their food too. Clearly everyone knows about and loves this place because it was full by the time we left. Now that I've experienced it, I know to go with patience because it'll be worth the wait. read more

Let's start off by saying yes they have a 15% increased cost due to inflation. However, the quality and portion sizes definitely offset the price increase and I think this is still the best value for quality sushi in Baltimore city. In addition, they have a partially self serve model where you order at the counter and grab drinks on the side and they bring sushi and plates to the table. This is not the place if you are looking for a fine dining sushi experience but for a good value locally owned sushi shop I definitely recommend! For 2 people who split a Sapporo and 3 specialty rolls and 2 smaller rolls the total came out to about $80 plus tax and tip. Overall pricy but we did have some leftovers so probably over ordered. read more

This place is so good. They actually give you a lot of fish in the rolls. Taste very fresh. Also fair priced. read more
We randomly stopped in here for a late lunch and it hit the spot for my sushi craving. I ordered a tuna roll that had seaweed salad on top. I love seaweed salad :) The beef dish my friend got was also good. Our fried gyoza appetizer was tasty as well. Overall, you will leave satisfied! read more

This place serves really good sushi! We traveled here from DC for my birthday and all I wished for for my birthday was some good sushi and I got that thanks to Kiku! The employers were really friendly. They told us that the waiting time was 45 mins which seemed long but since we had read so many good reviews about Kiku, we decided to wait and give it a shot! It was worth every single minute! The food was sooo good! And I liked the fact that they were being honest about the waiting time and let us know before ordering. read more
