"I hate to give this 4/2022 negative review but it's necessary please read it. This is a restaurant in serious trouble, if you read other reviews you can see the themes. First, they are horribly understaffed, and everyone was waiting at least an hour forfood. They have one chef and one service employee working a peak Saturday night shift and they simply cannot keep up with theavalanche of both diners and take out orders. The server was working so hard, I felt bad for her. But one server cannot takeorders, take takeout orders, pack takeout, serve diners, do checks, seat patrons, heat tea, etc. for 15 patrons. Not possible.The restaurant was filled with patrons circling like hungry vultures, waiting an hour plus for 6 pieces of sushi. Everyone EVERYONE was angry, anxious and waiting. Some people had to wait 30 minutes for their check. Second, their menu is out ofdate. It has a sticky note that says things may be 1 2 dollars more. One of our special rolls was advertised at $15, but billedat $19. So it's a guessing game what anything costs because the menu is irrelevant. This is utterly unacceptable. Third, thesushi is simply bad, no way around it. Likely because they are so overwhelmed it sits out on the shelf waiting to be picked uponce prepared and has a chance to get too warm. The sushi was inferior to supermarket sushi, and both my wife and I woke up thenext day with very upset stomachs. We should have gotten Shoprite sushi. The ingredients were poor. The fish was obviously old,the rolls were constructed carelessly, and it made us slightly sick. All in all, the picture we got was of a failing restaurantthat is in serious trouble, and headed for disaster fast. They can't keep up with takeout orders, they can't keep up withdiners, and the quality of their sushi is horrendous. They were working hard, but they need more help and better ingredients. Bygetting more help, they could focus on their food. I wish them the best of luck and hope they succee"

"First time visiting this Kikoo location pretty disappointed and don’t think I’ll be coming back.First and foremost, the waitstaff are really rude here. My friend got to the restaurant and sat down first, and she told them that I’d be there in 5 minutes. This was about 65 minutes before closing time (which is enough time for us to eat , but the waitstaff REPEATEDLY lectured her that we’d have to be out the door by 10, no exceptions, and kept pestering her every minute about how much longer until I’d arrive … When I arrived 5 minutes later as promised, a waiter was leaning outside the door and I told him “I’m with her” but couldn’t even finish my sentence before he interrupted “I know.” with a cold face. Like ok.. and when I walked in, there was a bunch of waitstaff just standing around at the front but everyone just seemed very cold, no smiles or hellos.When we were almost done eating, a lady came to tell my table that it was the kitchen’s last call, I quickly picked up the tablet to order an ice cream, and she was just breathing down my shoulder the whole time .. and before I could barely press Send, she literally snatched the tablet from me and walked off. ?In terms of food, there seems to be a smaller food selection here (ex. No stir fry vegetables, teriyaki salmon/chicken, fried squid (my favorite . However, the sashimi does seem to be a little fresher/tender than the other Kikoo location.All in all, food was okay but the uncomfortable/rude service doesn’t make me want to come back again."
