"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."

"I want to start by saying that I am someone who eats high quality sushi on a regular basis, at a level of $200-300 per person. So, I just want to make it clear that my perspective may differ from those who love this restaurant. I ordered the 21-piece sashimi, crunch roll, tamago, hotate, negihama, ika shiso maki, and hakkaisan JG. The fish cuts were extremely large, to the point where it was difficult to fit the sashimi in my mouth comfortably. While some may prefer quantity over quality, I believe that sashimi should be enjoyed bite by bite. The nigiri pieces were also quite large, requiring two bites instead of the traditional one. The rice was overcooked and slightly softer than it should be, with a slightly higher level of vinegar. My son enjoyed his crunch roll. The 21-piece sashimi is shareable among 3 people, with each piece being 2-3 bites in size. The wasabi lacked flavor, the ginger was subpar, and the soy sauce was standard low sodium. In terms of quality, it was comparable to a buffet, with the tuna lacking brightness in color and the escolar tasting fishy. The yellowtail was good, but the negihama lacked flavor and had a low fish to rice ratio. Overall, the experience felt like a restaurant version of genki/kura. The service was friendly and prompt. Although I usually avoid writing negative reviews, I do think this restaurant is a good choice for those looking for high protein and large portions of fish, especially in the sashimi pieces, at a reasonable price. The $55 price tag is definitely worth it. I wish the server had informed me of the size of the portions, as I would have opted for a smaller sashimi plate. Despite mentioning that it was my first time dining there, I received no heads up."
