Food was wonderful. Service was good everyone was very friendly. We went at 8:30 late in the evening. The only issue was they started to mop floors and remove chairs at 9 while we were eating, even though the closing time said 9:30 pm. So had to rush out.

We have dined at Kiku few times and food has been good for the most part. The service is not good at all, the lady at front desk is rude and does not listen to your questions and it doesn't have a good attitude to deal with customers, and she will ignore you like you are not there. Food is good but be ready to get a bad service!

I've been here many, many times over the years and I think I've done more than one review. But the place never disappoints!! My meal is amazing each and every time! I hope they never close, as long as I live in this area.

Update 2024:
Went back to meet up with an old friend I hadn't seen in a minute. The place is still just as amazing. The food was great, but mostly the ambiance is unparalleled. We sat at lunchtime for well over an hour chatting and eating. We were never rushed out. In fact the sushi chef were taking their lunch break at one point. This is still my go-to!

Original review:
It's our go-to spot when me and my bestie meet up for dinner. She's in bronx, I'm in bpt. This is the best in between! Small intimate, great service, amazing food. Our favorite is cilantro roll. Always always end up ordering too little! Lol

I have been a customer for well over 15 years. Kiku makes the best sushi by far in stamford and the service is always great!

Amazing food and everything tasted flavorful. The ambience is nice even though it is a small restaurant and fine for smaller groups, The dishes we ordered - Sushi sashimi combo, drunken noodles & Chicken teriyaki bento.

Very good lunch menu boxes and one of the best places for sushi in Stamford. The atmosphere is cozy and nice with many decorations. Service is also great. Highly recommend!

A very pleasant, clean restaurant with a really nice variety of carefully crafted, tasty meals.

Greedy owner does not accept Discovery CC. Thats a deal braker!
Food is good but portions got lot smaller and price went up as well.

Today I went to eat for the first time and experienced an experience of racism from the waitress towards me and my brother (we are Hispanic). The young lady was not friendly, when she had not finished eating yet and she began to remove the plate from the table (it was only 8:30 pm). And in the end, he also abruptly asked me to leave a tip, what is it? that happens to them seriously, so people should not be treated anywhere in the world, speak their language or not speak it.

Amazing food, Nicest people ever, I’d rate this a 100/5 if I could. So good!

Always AMAZING! Service is great and it’s very cute and clean inside. The food is always so good, fresh and consistent every time!

I have visited Kiku many times. Their sushi and sashimi dishes have always been terrific. Always fresh fish ! Good variety, quality and pricing is fair. In general I sit at the sushi bar and the waitress there is wonderful. Can not comment on other items on their menu as I have not tried anything else. So this is a sushi/sashimi review, only.

Excellent food but poor customer service.

Small but one of the best Japanese restaurants in town. Always fresh, fast and delicious. Recommend the mango chicken and pineapple rice.

A Small cozy place Efficiently run by this team of professionals. They move swiftly turning out attractive plates of food in a friendly welcoming vibe.

Very good service,
Very good sushi and Very clean cozy restaurant.
The presentation is displayed nicely making dining a very pleasant experience.

The salmon was extraordinarily fresh, beautiful fish. The beach roll was delicious as well. Highly recommend!

This is one of my favorite places! Their sushi is absolutely amazing ... I've been going there for over 15 years and even got engaged 12 years ago, in the very booth we are tonight! 😎

The main woman working the front is rude, unprofessional and had no customer service whatsoever. I asked for extra “duck sauce” and she kept saying they don’t have duck sauce. It was clear that maybe I didn’t know the name of the actual sauce so I started to explain what I wanted. I’ve had it there plenty of times at kiku and I’ve used the term “duck sauce “ before. She seemed agitated that I was asking for it but what can I say, that sauce is good. After explaining it she said it’s a dollar per sauce. I then told her that’s fine, I would like 5 of them. It’s almost like she thought because she said they were a dollar each it would deter me. I need that. She went to the back and brought some other spicy sauce and I told her that wasn’t it. I explained the sauce to the best of my ability and she finally got it. I said thank you and asked what’s the actual name for future reference and she ignored me. I was standing right in front of her face and she wouldn’t acknowledge me. I’ve been eating here for at least 10 years and I will never go back. The food is good but I can’t support folks that treat other folks like that.

Bad service no good

My family got food poisoning from the sushi

Delicious. Fresh. 5 star service

Amazing!!! The food was great and so was the service. I went solo to try it out because I never had it before. I’m happy with my decision too. When I got sat it was not crazy busy but the crowed started coming in. There was ONLY one server and she was taking care of the whole restaurant of guests (besides to-gos) I was highly impressed (I’m a server myself). She also did it without an attitude or a rude energy.

This is the kind of sushi place I like - just a cozy little hole in the wall with great service and sushi. Brought my kids and had a great time, will definitely return soon.

I have been coming to Kiku sushi since 2004. I have traveled around the world. I am not a fish expert. I am not a sushi expert. But baby, I know good sushi when I have it. Kiku has some of the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life. Always fresh, never fails.

Consistently good for ten years that I've known this place

Best Drunkin noodles on the east coast!

The sushi from this restaurant was inedible. The tuna was hard and everything else reeked of fish and not in a good way. Would not go back.

Waited half an hour before a waiter even came
Waited an hour before any food was served
Ordered sushi deluxe
I’m not sure what they are using, but that can’t be salmon. And the rest tastes like rubber
I’m worried I might get sick after dining here

Good food, good service, nice people, reasonable pricing.

The salmon dinner has no flavor. Kinda regret paying $22:50 for something so plain. The broccoli taste like faucet water. Disappointed in the place!

This is the best sushi in Stamford. Quality at the price is unmatched and I’m devastated that I can’t have Kiku sushi for every meal of every day

One of my favorite dine in places in the area. Like the Kirin Sushi roll, Tom yum and the Pad Thai.

Love the atmosphere here. The real Star of the show is how fresh everything is. A must try if you love sushi. Excellent service too, they very friendly and attentive.

My first review of Kiku was 9 years ago (5 star). It remains now and throughout the 9 years consistently +5 stars. Highly recommended!

Best pad thai you will eat in your life. So delicious. Nothing compares to this asian restaurant. Ive tried many, but Kiku never disappoints. Great atmosphere and great servers. Environment is calming and peaceful. All the food here is great and high quality. Sushi is delicious as well. You will not regret coming here.

Take-out experience was poor, front desk was hard to communicate with and rude in general. Bad experience but left with good sushi!

The absolute most delicious sushi u will ever have in your life. I’m not lying

Everything was superb!

We really enjoyed the Tom yum soup. Sashimi was fresh, as was the sushi. Fast

Sushi is soooo delicious

Great Food. Better environment

Good food and Great service 👍

Nice lily spot. Gillian Phillips is a known liar in our community she never even eats here. I do not like sushi, raw fish, if you know what I mean ;). Good general tso and friend rice and the owners are family people. I stopped here for taking out along the way.

I just called to place an order, the person that picked up couldn’t have been more rude...

Great

Awful customer service.

They really have wonderful sushi here. They're a little pricey. I would go just for the sushi.

Favorite place for sushi in Stamford! Order here at least once a week for years and food is always excellent. Best spicy mayo ever!

Sit down dinner when it opened, not bad, quiet. By 6:30pm started to get busy.
Food and service was good. Quality and quantity was better than expected. Some food items could compare to certain places in NYC (with better price range).

Kiku's Chicken Katsu Don is my all time favorite. None of any other Japanesss Restaurants I had tried can make the Chicken Katsu Don better than Kiku.

Rude staff...loud and inattentive.

Best sushi. Extensive variety of sushi choices. Everything is fresh. Prices are great.The service is absolutely outstanding.

Never had Sushi in my life🙆

For lunch I selected Nabe Yaki Udon - udon is always my lunch choice during winter months. Again, outstanding - tasty, plentiful, warming up. Decided to come here and try it out for the first time. When first walking in, its a quiet and cozy feeling. Staff was very nice. But the food was extremely delicious. It's been a while since I had fresh sushi like this where I could smell the aroma from.

Third time. Still disappointed. Example this time...spider roll had small amount of crab and tons of cucumber and rice. I wanted to like this place better but maybe I'm spoiled by Westchester sushi places I've come from. Over priced for what you're getting. This was an order out delivery. As was my other orders from here.

Good bathroom. Had a great poop

Good service and even better food! Would definitely come again

Delicious sushi! Love their shrimp tempura...beef negimaki are tender, flavorful, perfectly done.

The best in Stamford!

The look, feel and taste is completely authentic
Will definitely be returning!

Stopped in on a busy Sunday in the middle of a long drive, and I wish we lived closer. We got one of the sushi/sashimi/roll platters to split, and the fish was fresh and cut nicely in very decent sizes! The miso soup was a nice surprise -- lots of places can't seem to get the dashi/miso ratio, but it was lovely here, and so was the rice, which was seasoned to a nice taste. Even though it seemed busy, the food and service was quick, and I loved the intimate / semi-casual atmosphere. Thank you! We'll try to make it back whenever we can.

Lugar agradable si eres fanatico del marisco

This place is always consistent. Seems like no matter what day I go the fish and seaweed is always fresh! Love all their unique rolls. Greenwich and Darien roll is my favorite.

I should say no star. Their chopsticks are cheap and bad quality. My daughter got splinters from them and rhe owner even didn't apologize. She is irresponsible and even has no heart.

Wonderful food and overall experience. We had the age tofu, pork gyoza, Nagemaki udon, and tempura udon. I can't imagine the food being any more delicious than it was.

Really great food. I know others whom love this place. Decent prices that won’t break the bank. The staff is amazing. Great place to bring the kids.

Very disappointed, 2 min after we signed our check, they asked us to get up so they can use the table for someone else. We will not suggest Kiku to anybody again.

Best sushi in Stamford!!!

Good food, nice staff, kinda expensive

A great place to dine in or take out! Have lived nearby for a little over 2 years and slowly but surely the Spicy Roll Combo and Maki Roll Combo, with delicious miso soup, have become near weekly dinners for us. Best sushi in Stamford!

The place was pleasant and the service was friendly but the food was not great and,in my opinion, there was not enough.

The food is always great here. It is our favorite neighborhood restaurant, with sushi equal to the best places in NYC and always a warm welcome. Highly recommended!

Great idea !! Awesome fresh taste

Service was a little slow but the food was very good. Highly recommended

Many in Stamford consider this a tie for 1st when it comes to best sushi. My personal favorite is Kotobuki but this is a close second. Others I know rate it a hard 1st so hey, it's all subjective.

Delicious and 4/4 ratings Stamford restaurant health dept

This is probably the best sushi 🍣 I have had in Stamford period very nice well presented rolls excellent service sushi chef 👨🏽‍🍳 is quick and has style amazing food Xmas roll is the best !

בהחלט נחמד בתור מסעדה סינית, אבל לא מיוחד

Fantastic spot for authentic Japanese fare. Convenient location and friendly, warm service makes Kiku a great choice.

Great sushi, Great price, favorite thing to order = " love boat "

Excellent sushi, casual atmosphere, reasonable price.

Very good get what u pay for...friendly and clean...

Great tasting food. Great presentation. Friendly server.

Kiku is one of the brightest hidden gems of Stamford, CT. From Dragon Rolls made with fresh salt water eel and haas avocados to lightly pan seared pork dumplings and a world class General Tsao's chicken. Clean, friendly, and perfect for the aesthetic. You have to come here! So pick up some sticks! Get here quick! And be ready for one the freshest and most relaxing dining experiences in town.

Best sushi in the area! Great employees, always super friendly.

Friendly staff, great sushi, and quick service. Convenient parking and a great atmosphere complete the equation. An outstanding restaurant.

Friendly staff, good Japanese food, intimate atmosphere

Just went there with my family and can not believe we didn't knowest this little hole in the wall. Amazing food! Awesome service!

Best sushi, sushi chefs, and staff in Stamford. Hands down.

Black pepper tuna sashimi is my favorite.

Their food is definitely fresh. Nice cozy place inside with friendly staff. Like visiting this restaurant.

The worst ever had what are u thinking

The freshest and best sushi in the local area ...can't be beat.

Great quality fish! Their non sushi items were also tasty, we had udon noodles

Great place, 1 of the best you'll find around the area. Very small inside, but you don't feel too "cramped". Parking lot is always crowded, might have to park near CVS. (I can't believe I just said that) ha

Top quality sushi and great service. Excellent selection of sushi and their appetizers are quality.

The best Sushi in CT, been going there for 15 years, truly have not found a place better. I even moved up to southport, still come back for more.

I spent about 25 dollars on two appetizers and a small miso soup for delivery. I wasted 25 dollars on food that could leave a mouse hungry. The price is absolutely horrendous for the quantity and quality. I will never order from this place again, and I caution you to do the same.

I usually do not write a negative review since our relatives own a restaurant but the experience was so bad that I had to let the management know. The sushi that we ordered did NOT have the materials that was listed on the menu. We got a few sushi rolls and ended up not eating much and paid close to $ 100 for 4 rolls. I asked the waitress and the manager why the rolls did not have the materials listed on the menu. They simply replied that they were sold out!??! but how can they be sold out for all those different rolls?? I have never heard of a restaurant who does that and not let the customers know. I wish they had told us earlier. Instead, we have gotten rolls with A LOT OF tempura powders and rice that were just fillers. I am very disappointed since we went to this place due to the positive reviews on the google. I wanted to give an honest review to let the management know.

I've had worse fish but the sushi rice was gross. The other dishes had an Indian food taste to it.

kind, clean and delicious

When it comes to Sushi, the first thing that you should never compromise for is the freshness of the products. And I must say that Kiku always serve fresh food, from the meet through the rice to the seaweed. And for me, a place that offer a sit inside a boot, is already start the right way.

The prices are reasonable, and the service is very professional from smiling people. For me, the spicy Salmon will always be on the list, and there is always fresh. The Wasabi’s roll is very interesting, and if you are into strong tastes, give it a try.

This place is amazingly delicious and extremely quick with service if you eat in.

Every time we visit or order from Kiku, it is absolutely delicious and fresh and the service is great. Tonight we ordered delivery and a roll we usually order came with mango sauce, which my friend was allergic to. They delivered a new roll, sans mango sauce, within 15 minutes. Now that is service! They are fantastic!

Susan is the sweetest and most attentive owner I have ever met. Every single visit has been wonderful. My family began going to Kiku about 6 years ago and now go for every homecoming, college send-off or on a night that we simply feel like having sushi.
The prices are reasonable and the individuality of the sauces, sushi and specials make an evening out wonderful. The presentation of the sushi so beautiful that you have to pause before eating it.

This little hole in the wall has by far the freshest and most inventive sushi within 25 miles of here. Nothing even comes close. It's amazing what they pump out behind that sushi bar.
