" What a gem! Tucked away from the bustle of the city, Kiku offers some of the best sushi I’ve had in ages. I ordered their bento box for lunch, which was abundant and delicious. Everything was fresh, especially the fish. The staff was welcoming and attentive without being intrusive, which made for a pleasant dining experience. My only complaint is that the seating is limited; a small price to pay for such fantastic food, though! Will be back again! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had expectations when I went to Kiku based on the reviews, but the experience was somewhat mixed. While the sushi quality was undeniable, the overall atmosphere felt a bit off. It seemed like there were some miscommunications between staff and customers regarding the menu options, which caused delays in service. I appreciate the authenticity of the food, but I think they need to work on making the atmosphere more relaxing. I might return but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a fantastic experience at Kiku! The ambiance is cozy and laid-back, perfect for enjoying good food. I tried their tempura udon, and it was excellent—nice and crispy! The negotiation on the menu was interesting, but the staff was considerate. However, I'd love to see more traditional Japanese dishes featured in their offerings for those looking for authenticity. Overall, a delightful visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kiku is an absolute treasure! Their sushi rolls are not only unique but also very affordable. I took advantage of one of their lunch specials and was pleasantly surprised by the size of my meal. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, and I found their staff to be very sweet and accommodating. If you’re in the city and have a craving for sushi, this is the place to go. I can’t wait to come back and try their dinner service! " (*Curated Review*)

" Kiku is my new go-to sushi spot! Every roll I've tried has been delicious, especially the signature ones. The staff here clearly care about their clientele; I've seen them greet regulars by name! The dining experience here is personal and attentive. While it is small and can get cramped, the quality of food makes it worth it. Highly recommend stopping in for their lunch special!

" Every time I've visited Kiku, it's been a fantastic dining experience. The sushi is always on point, and the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. I ordered their special rolls last time, and they were outstanding. For such a small restaurant, they do an incredible job of maintaining quality. I will keep spreading the love for Kiku! " (*Curated Review*)

" Excellent little sushi place in NYC! The ambiance was charming, and the sushi was so fresh and full of flavor. I especially loved the teriyaki chicken bento—it was a perfect portion. The staff was friendly and made us feel welcome. Would definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Thanks to Kiku for a great experience! " (*Curated Review*)
