Visited on a Sunday afternoon with absolutely no wait time. The restaurant was spacious, spotless, and had a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff was attentive and engaging, especially when helping us decide what to try from the menu. The spicy fried chicken was tasty, though I was hoping for a bit more heat. The calamari tempura was fried perfectly -- light, crispy, and honestly one of the highlights of the meal. The Shrek roll was incredibly fresh and served nicely chilled. My only complaint was the katsu chicken, which came with way too much curry sauce and overpowered the dish a bit. Other than that, everything was enjoyable and I'd definitely return to try more items from the menu. read more

We like to order takeout on Friday nights. First thing in mind is always Deluxe Chirashi at Kiku Sushi. Sashimi is fresh, generous portion. It always has uni, and sweet shrimp in it. Another things that we always order are aloha roll and Monrovia roll. read more

Decided to try a new sushi restaurant in the Monrovia area! Kiku Sushi is a little hole in the wall that I would definitely recommend. I will say that they have quite a big menu and it was hard to select food, but it does give you a lot of options! I got the dinner combination with sashimi, the Philadelphia roll, and spicy tuna roll. My fiancé got a variety of sushi as well. It's funny because he rates sushi restaurants depending on how good their salmon and tuna are. He really loved the salmon but he found the tuna was just "okay" In my opinion, the sushi is good, but it's not the greatest. It doesn't have that "melt in your mouth" factor that I look for in sushi restaurants but it's also not bad at the same time. The servers though were very attentive and I didn't have to get their attention at all. Also we got our food very quickly which was nice! I'd come back if I was in the area but I wouldn't go out of my way to make the extra drive. read more

I really wanted to like this spot because I live right up the street and sushi is my favorite food but I honestly just wasn't impressed. The sushi was very dry on both rolls, and it wasn't super fresh I felt. The lady who served us as well wasn't the nicest so it just made want to pack our stuff and leave sooner. I don't think I'll return any time soon but happy I got to try it out. read more

This was my 3rd time at Kiku sushi. I live relatively close by but today's experience reminded me why I rarely ever come here. I got the honeymoon roll and it was no rice and 95% imitation crab. The takoyaki is small and not circular - the piece I ate didn't have any octopus inside either. The salmon collar was just average- nothing special. Service was fine. They weren't super attentive but were friendly enough. Food takes a good 10 minutes to come out. Parking is free and ample in the large shared plaza parking lot. read more

This gem is nestled in the Kohls/Trader Joe's shopping center right off the 210 fwy at Huntington Drive. You'd miss it if you drove by...so don't miss it! Great service. Very friendly atmosphere. The green tea is perfectly steeped and comes in a very large tea mug. You get a free refill too! Started with the BEST miso soup I've had. I know--miso is miso is miso, right? Wrong! The flavor and consistency of the broth bring a Mmmmm to your mouth! The sushi came out quick and tasted so fresh. Definitely try the cilantro roll with jalapeño. It has just enough kick to know it's in there, but doesn't overwhelm the roll so you can enjoy all the other flavors. It's a quaint spot so depending on the time of day you might have to wait a bit. There's also a sushi bar with ample seating if that's what you prefer. No matter where you sit, every seat is the best in the house! Enjoy. read more

The chicken on the karaage was super small thin pieces, thus making it tougher and not very juicy. The rolls were decent, but did not look at all like the photos they have on the menu. The tempura was good. Service was a little slow getting the check. Overall, not a bad experience, but not perfect. read more

**Rating this experience with a small child** Here we are on another weekly outing with my 4 year old. This time we gave Kiku Sushi a try. Unfortunately my son gave it a thumbs down and said he doesn't want to come back :( But I must say, it's definitely not the worse place we've been to. This place was decent. Interior was cozy. Service was friendly. Food came out fast. I guess our complaint was the quality of the food. We've been to a lot of strip-mall sushi spots (and my expectations are never high), some better than others, so we have a bit to compare. I ordered the chirashi which was a bit...odd... the fish cut was too thick and it tasted very bland. I didn't eat it all. The chicken karage was a bit chewy and it tasted like the oil has been used a few times (to be expected I guess). My son give it a thumbs down on the cucumber rolls. This tasted like dirt. Also, the authentic cucumber rolls (kappa-maki) are made with one slice of cucumber, not a bunch of shredded cucumber, which makes it taste watery. It was so bad that we returned it and got it taken off the bill. The best part was the chocolate macaroon ice cream. I debated between 2 or 3 stars, but gave it 3 because of the friendly service, and that our server didn't hesitate when I asked to remove the cucumber roll. I do wish they cleaned our table after we were done, so we didn't have to stare at dirty dishes while we ate the macaroon and paid the bill. Unfortunately we won't be back. read more

Everyone was very nice here. Came on a crowded Friday evening and it was pretty packed so we sat at the bar. Food was okay- the avocado looked old and the shrimp in our other roll was an off color... kind of grey and unappetizing. While the staff was nice and there was plenty of parking in the area, not sure I'd come back here given the quality of the sushi we were served. read more

The 8 piece sashimi was delicious. The cuts was thick and generous size. The udon was tasty and the broth was great.

Always on the search for good deals on bento boxes at Japanese restaurants! As a big snacker, I enjoy having a variety of food to switch from. For those in the Monrovia area, you are lucky to have this amazing place! Wife and I each got the 3 item Kiku Combination for $21.99. I had the Teriyaki Salmon, Mixed Tempura, and Crunch Spicy Tuna Roll. The wife had the Grilled Mackerel, Mixed Tempura, and Salmon Roll. The rolls alone were a whole portion and not a small portion to accommodate the low bento price. We honestly could not finish this whole meal ourselves even with an empty stomach! Both the Mackerel and Salmon were cooked to expectation and could tell that they were fresh! The staff was extremely nice and you can tell that many of the diners are regulars as employees and customers knew each other by name! read more

The food was fantastic! Very fresh fish just the right amount of wasabi garnish. Delicious! The gyoza were crispy and the sauce was top tier according to my brother. The miso soup and hot green tea were good and complimented everything well. My sister also had the traditional cut avocado roll and the avocado shrimp salad. Both were wonderful and the portion size of the salad was very large. A wonderful experience, great service, cute and intimate atmosphere.

We were starving and since we were running errands in this plaza where Kiku Sushi is located, we came here on a whim. Overall I didn't think the food was great. Tempura was dense and oily. Teriyaki sauce just sweet. The few Sushi pieces ( Toro, Saba, Albacore) ordered were a disappointment. Luckily I didn't order that much sushi. Waitresses were very nice. Parking plenty of in this huge shopping plaza. Prices are reasonable. read more

I've always had to order out at this place. They have such good deals and to be honest, it's a hit or miss. Some dishes are really good, and some are mediocre. It's a tiny local spot close to me so I'll always go back. Their take outs are very well packed so I almost always just order pick-up. Some of my favorites are their tempura, their sashimi and their combo bento dishes. Salmon was a bit small but it was inexpensive, chicken teriyaki was great but the basic rolls are not the best. read more
