Comment: Ive selfishly waited way too long to write this review because I kind of dont want this place to get any busier but they deserve any and all accolades. Up until I found Kiku, I hated sushi. Never was very much into fish of any kind but I have been converted. The sushi here is incredible. So fresh youd think the ocean was in their backyard. Everyone that works here is so friendly and welcoming. The waitress barely even needs to take my order as she always remembers the little things like how i eat way too much ginger and wasabi and always get extra dressing with my salad. Ive tried numerous other Sushi restaurants since Kiku and not one so far can hold a candle to the freshness, friendliness and affordability of Kiku. I couldnt recommend a restaurant more.

Comment: We are still big fans of Kiku Sushi Family! Miso and Linda always have great customer service and you feel like family when you dine here.Kiku has so many sushi options that you will find a roll you love. My favorite roll is the Boston Party roll still 2+ years later! Their take out sushi is just as good as well!Theres street parking or a shared parking lot in the back. It is a smaller sushi place and more intimate so it may be best to call ahead to check if theres a wait time.Highly recommend Kiku Sushi!!!

I myself am not a sushi person but dont let that scare you away this place makes the BEST chicken fried rice Ive ever had!! The customer service is above and beyond every single staff member greats you with a smile and of you have any questions about theyre menu items they are so helpful.

Comment: I love this place. They have 100 specialty rolls....yea...you read that right... ONE HUNDRED!!! And they’re not just basic boring rolls....ever hear of GRILLED spicy salmon? Or spicy noodle in a roll?! Guess what, you haven’t. And even if you did at another establishment....you still haven’t so cut it out with your lying self. Have ordered out there three times in a month trying different specialty rolls and there hasn’t been one I haven’t loved yet. If you’re an avid sushi lover like this guy, and No I’m not talkin “yea I love sushi, California rolls all the way!!” nonsense! I’m talking REAL sushi lover, then I definitely recommend checking this place out!

You spend about $15-$20 a plate here and have trouble walking out.The Green Tea they serve here is the best ive had in North America. It sells the place for me. I always get California Roll and some Katsu Don, which is always cooked to perfection

Comment: Lovely little joint, servers are attentive, sushi chefs are friendly, food is great and consistent, service is prompt. Minor cons - presentation could be improved, not exactly the stuff you can brag about with pics (it just tastes really good), and the menu is huge. It consists of customer faves with is definitely cool but Id like if they were separate, Id prefer to go through chef choices before adventuring. All in all great spot.

Comment: I really dont have anything bad to say about this place. I went during lunch time today for the first time. Its a very laid back vibe. The staff is really nice friendly, I received a warm welcome. There are soooo many rolls to choose from, my mind was blown, lol. I ordered the Gyoza to start and also received a complimentary app on the house which i thought was really nice. I got miso soup, salad and a Beach roll i believe it was. Everything was really good. The miso however was not as flavorful as i would have liked but that was such a small thing in comparison to everything else. I would def go back and try the other 1,000 cool rolls they have.

Comment: This is a family owned and operated Sushi restaurant. I decided to try it despite it had no reviews I could find. I have been a regular now since than. I tend to love the Sushi and Shashimi Combo platter. It is ALWAYS fresh and an excellent value for the IMHO. In fact it is the freshest Sushi I have found on Long Island without going to my fav place in NYC. I have never been disappointed. Service is very good. I highly recommend it.

Comment: We just had dinner at Kiku and loved it. My daughter has been living in Japan and we have not found very good Japanese food here. The meals we had at other places were too Americanized and were not authentic. She told me this food was as good as she got in Japan. Not having been to Japan myself, I just found the food delicious. The chefs complimentary appetizer was very good. We were given a selection of tuna sushi and a fried tuna ball. Both were done perfectly. The next time we come to visit family in New York we will definitely go to Kiku again.

Comment: This is probably one of my favorite Japanese restaurant in this area. The food and price are reasonable. Ive been here 3-4 times and always offered free samplers on the house, which is absolutely unheard of.
