" What a wonderful evening! tried with friends, and Kiku did not disappoint. Every dish we tried was delightful, and I especially loved the crunchy spicy tuna roll. The staff were very friendly but once we got busy, they could have been a bit more attentive. I'd say the tight setting was a trade-off for such a fantastic meal! Will definitely be back figuring the crowd at different times. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kiku was such a treat! I was on my lunch break and had their quick sushi specials. The food was excellent and very fresh; the rice in the sushi was perfectly cooked. The atmosphere was casual but authentically Japanese. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a delicious and quick bite! " (*Curated Review*)

" I'm honestly a little torn about Kiku. On one hand, the food was truly excellent, especially the sushi rolls which were super fresh! However, the service was a little lacking on the day I visited. I had to wait quite a while for my order. Given how small the place is, I expected a bit more attentiveness. Nonetheless, I would encourage people to give it a try for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" Kiku is cute, small, and quaint. I loved every bit of my meal, from the eel to the miso soup, everything was flavorful. The sushi was fresh, and I could tell it had been prepared with care. The owner was lovely, chatting with patrons which added to the cozy vibe. I will absolutely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Kiku last week and left quite impressed. The atmosphere is quaint yet comfortable. I chose the spicy tuna roll and was blown away by the freshness and flavor. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, making sure our experience was top-notch. However, my miso soup could have been more authentic. If you’re in the area, I highly suggest you give Kiku a shot. Just bear in mind it’s a small place, so better to go early to ensure a seat! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
