I have been wanting to visit KiKu for some time now and last night we went there for dinner. I am disappointed in the experience. The staff: not very accommodating and customer service is not priority, instead they act like there doing you a favor. All of the hostess in the front start the tone of arrogance and create a non welcoming tone. The atmosphere: very open set up and dimmed lighting but we were there for dinner so it was a dinner setting, understood. The food: OMG, not good at all. Now usually with these type of meals there to salty or flavored just right. This was the opposite, the soup was watered down to the ground. The salad was meh, the cooked vegetables were lukewarm warm right from the grill? Not sure how that happened and they taste like soap or something, it was a very strange taste. Basically the vegetable didn’t taste like themselves. The proteins were also flavorless, so strange. We also had rolls for appetizers, the spicy tuna roll was ok but my daughter friend did not like her California roll at all. It just wasn’t a good food experience, I’ve eaten at many Habachi restaurants, this was the most flavorless one in life. The chef: is the reason for the 2 stars. His part of the experience was technically 5 star. He was funny, engaging, he talked to us and of course he did a lot of the tricks and fun stuff that some chefs do at Habachi restaurants. He was the best part of the experience. Overall, I personally would not return.

This is the second year in a row. My family and I went here for dinner. The food was absolutely amazing, our chef was fantastic and super fun, and the portions were huge. Will definitely be back again! Thank you for another great birthday :)
