One of my most favorite photos on the wall is clearly AI generated and it's hilarious. The staff are all very friendly and quick. Our friends told us that it's family owned and employed. The food is exceptional. The sushi is super fresh, too. I would never have thought Kiku would be this amazing. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover!

Great sushi for a great price. The fish is fresh and they have a great variety. The inside is…read morepretty average with a good amount of seats inside.

It appears that my previous review was posted 5 years ago, so here is a quick update…read more This is still our main take out spot for the Asian cuisine as we live in a close proximity to the restaurant. Food is consistently good, particularly all the specialty rolls and regular sushi rolls. Sesame chicken is still best in town, only now it lacks the sauce (need to see if there is an option to ask for more). Beef and broccoli is amazing, just outright delicious. The only thing I wouldn't recommend (and the reason for 4 stars instead of 5) is Thai food. Pad Thai is just mediocre. I got Tom Yum soup yesterday and it was insanely sour but lacked any other flavor, so I can't really recommend Thai food there. But for Japanese and Chinese portion of the menu it is definitely 5 stars and highly recommended.

The place is pretty small but wasn't crowded as there was only one other table dinning in during the time we were there. I'm really not a Chinese food fan, I agreed to come here because there were also Japanese items on the menu. To drink I got a bottle of cloudy sake. I ordered the money bags, even though it had no description. Money bags are a symbol of good luck and fortune, and are often eaten during special occasions, I got this to celebrate the New Lunar Year. I would compare this dumpling like fried appetizer to a spring roll, stuffed with similar ingredients plus pork. It was served with sweet and sour sauce. I also ordered the fried gyoza, I appreciated that the textured was actually crispy but the soy sauce it came with tasted like it was straight out of the container; they could have spiced it up with garlic or ginger or chives..etc. My coworker ordered the general tso. She traded me a piece of her chicken, it tasted good but those sauces are way too sweet for me, big reason why I'm not a fan, it's just not for me. At the end we were given a small plate of fruit with fortune cookies. What a nice surprise. The prices were very reasonable here. Probably the same price you would pay for fast food but better quality. If you like Chinese food, this is a good choice.

Had sushi here for the first time and have to tell you that it was delish! The hibachi is very good and cooked to order. They don't skimp on the portions and you will always have a to go (even if just a little bit.). On Sundays, kids 10 and under eat hibachi for $1 so it's perfect for families and the little ones will have a blast (even th picky eaters like my 7 yo, loves the noodles) Support your local businesses!

Takeaway only - it's a small shop with various sushi rolls /dishes lined up to the right as you walk in. They also sell some Japanese snacks interspersed between some minimalist modern knick knacks.

They keep making stuff throughout the day and I was tempted by whatever the guy was boxing up behind the counter... as I was paying... so definitely fresh and made daily (they date every box).

For about $30 this is a great deal; however, the fish quality was pretty mediocre. Could be fresher - particularly the fish roe and egg. Also the tamago (egg) was pretty dense. I'm still willing to try dine-in to see if the freshness is better in person but I'm also not rushing to try it out. My brother in law ordered the No Name Roll (spicy tuna & tempura flakes inside and avo & shrimp topped with miso sauce outside). He also thought his roll was average. My husband who doesn't eat seafood did enjoy his yaki udon chicken though.

We came on a cloudy Saturday afternoon after lunch in the area and were hoping for a nice spot to just sit and catch up. I got a Yuzu tea while my friends got a matcha latte and we got a strawberry cream tart to share. The Yuzu was fragrant and the tart was nice and light, exactly what you'd expect from an Asian dessert -- "not too sweet". When we were done, we happily perused all of the goods in the store. They had so many different Japanese offerings, it was so nice to see -- ceramics, teas, snacks, cooked food, etc. There was SO much, and on top of that, they seemed to have almost all of the Harney & Son's offerings, including the special edition teas like the Death of the Nile and Murder on The Orient Express. I was super impressed by this little shop and can't wait to visit Stamford again to explore more of the goodies.
