Kikusushi Japanese Restaurant in Cupertino

I hadnt been to Kiku in many years. Its no longer a formal restaurant. More like a mini grocery store and sushi food court. Sushi is 3 stars, similar to what you get at other Japanese grocery stores. Its better than Costco or Trader Joes or Safeway, but not restaurant quality. We ordered rainbow roll, spider roll, seaweed salad, veggie tempura, shrimp tempura, seaweed salad. Plenty of food for 2. Everything tasted OK, but the tempura batter was a bit thick and chewy.

Best Bara Chirashi bowl at reasonable price around this area! I can’t believe we can get it less than $15! Taste and service are also good.

Fresh sushi with great staff. Everyone there seems like their having slot of fun. We sat at the bar with the two sushi chefs. Henry was waiting on us and we so incredibly personable. Most places Ive been, the sushi chefs are quiet and dont share much. Henry was talkative and open and made us feel part of the Kikusushi family.This space is big so can accommodate large or small parties. Sushi is delicious and the have tamari for those gluten free eaters. Sushi options vary but they will comply with Abby allergies.Great friendly place, will be back.

Best place for sashimi/nigiri in south bay! Their toro/otoro tuna nigiri is a must have at this place. All their nigiri and sashimi are super fresh and tender. The store is a small semi-restaurant and store hybrid. You can pick up bentos/sushi/sashimi etc or order at a kiosk to get it freshly made. I recommend ordering at the kiosk to get it freshly made foe the best experience.

This is a secret spot in South Bay that I can find Uji Time Ice cream!! The flavors spectrum is quite complete here too. The manager told me that they have been carrying Uji Time ice cream for almost two years already

The staff here is extremely friendly and occasionally stuff is on sale here, around 30% off. Its an extremely good deal since the food here is fresh. The family combo here is also a good deal, it includes appetizers (2), sushi roll (2), bento & donburi (2), and ramen (1) for $55 (you have options to choose from). Also inside there are mini (Asian) snacks you can buy.

Lovely traditional Japanese market place. You could find many kinds of special Japanese style snacks and groceries here. They also offer decent sushi and bentos. It is though a small place and hard to maintain social distance. Still worth a try and take care!

This business pivoted from a full service restaurant into a market with a kitchen. Over the weekend, I ordered food from the kitchen. We liked the food so much, on Monday I went back for lunch.My favorite is the chirashi. It has fresh, good quality sashimi, and is a phenomenal value.

This restaurant is in the boarder of Cupertino and Saratoga. It’s a hidden gem in the old plaza. Great sashimi quality!We bought kiku chirashi, bara chirashi don and squid nigiri for lunch from Uber Eats. Kiku Chirashi is best value in the area.

I had a conflict with weitress/manager: I ordered California Maki which include crab according to the menu but the actual one contained imitation of crab. The weitress brought the menu and we reviewed it together. It doesnt mentioned the imitation anywhere. I think it is illegal to offer something but bring something else. The conflict got resolved in favor of the restaurant.
