First Sushi place I've been to since moving in the area and it was Delicious!! I had a wonderful experience with our waiter. The food was on point. Portions were great! Ramen bowl is a good size with fair prices for what you get and their Sake is to die for!! Highly recommend. read more

Cooks do not wear gloves when cooking and handle chicken, meat, and seafood bare handed and do not wash their hands between cooking of these items. I believe this is a violation of ServSafe rules. Especially when cooking for elderly patrons and children under 12 yrs of age. Possibly needs to be checked by Health officials. read more

Order is always made to request and always good. Service is professional , friendly and provided with a smile.

I got my food quickly and it was hot. However I was disappointed the portions were so small for the $30 I paid. As far as the taste, if you like bland you'll be fine. If not, you will definitely have to add something because without the white sauce it would be flavorless. read more

NEVER AGAIN! Placed an order in the restaurant and it was wrong. They prepared it correctly the 2nd time BUT the steak was burnt, very few veggies (cabbage & carrots) but lots of "ramen"noodles in the meal. Overall, Kiko Japanese is NOT worth it. This place used to be good but not anymore! Will try Yum Yum moving forward! read more

I've eaten here a few times and while I''ve only ordered vegetable dishes, I have enjoyed them. My food has always arrived quickly, fresh and with generous portions. The store was clean and the staff was accommodating. Would return again. read more

The food is good. However, when ordering pickup online, the site told us that the order would be ready in a certain amount of minutes. When my husband arrived to the restaurant, he had to wait MUCH longer than what the site told us. They were very unorganized, working off of one small tablet gathering orders. They even forgot part of out order and luckily my husband checked the bag before he left and told them. Everyone was nice. They were just very unorganized and untimely. Also, do not buy the crab rangoons. They are all hard stale dough and no filling. read more

They need better seasoning and ACTUAL Japanese cooks the sushi taste like the ones u get at target

So I stopped here one Sunday evening. The staff is very friendly. The restaurant itself was very clean. I ordered hibachi chicken and steak.... (no mushrooms and no broccoli) and hibachi chicken (with just fried rice) for my son. My son's order was perfect. Mine was not. They gave me broccoli and no onions. Not what I asked for at all. After picking the broccoli out I realized how skimpy the meat was. The flavor of the meat was subpar. It definitely is not worth $10. I won't be coming back. read more

My meals total was $21.95 with tax, but because I used my card (Visa/debit) I was charged an additional $6.78. This is ridiculous! Never patronizing that place again. I've had better foods. read more

Well, it's clean and the staff are very friendly. My food was hot and not bland.... but ramen noodles!?! Lol ramen noodles!? Ramen is not soba. Soba is not ramen. I know they're both noodles, but they're pretty different concepts. Haha. Luckily, I do like ramen... but y'all should probably be calling this fried noodles instead of soba. I'm sure not a lot of people here know the difference... but this is not legit soba. It's a little misleading. And I paid like $8 for this... lol ramen noodles cost like 30 cents, so I probably won't buy this again. I would probably come back and try something else though. Like I said, it's clean and the staff are nice. read more

The quality is not worth the food. They say it's noodles but it's ramen. Unfortunately they also charge for any sauces

I ordered two California rolls and one entire roll barely has any avocado... also it doesn't taste like anything, it was pretty bland. It's only $7 for two rolls though! read more

Kiko Japan Express - Barely any avocado... - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

Not sure where to start, I had eaten at this place years ago however stopped for a while. My usual place is closed on Sunday and decided to give this place another try, worse decision. I know remembered why I never went back, the food itself is overly for what you get. The veggies are bland in taste, the rice was undercooked, no taste whatsoever. It lack flavor overall. I ordered crab ragoons extremely overcooked and barely filing inside. After this experience I'm never going back, there's another place in town that's super tasty too bad they are closed on Sunday. read more

This place needs a better system for distributing orders. Watched two guys just move orders from bag to bag as I waited 30+ mins for my to go order. read more

Kiko Japan Express - Hibachi chicken - Japanese Near Me - Knightdale, North Carolina

the food is always good. the staff is always fast and friendly. the place is always clean and tidy. we have been coming to Kiko's for years.

The food we've gotten here so far has been very good. They have good yum yum sauce and very good teriyaki sauce, which is hard to find around here. The only reason they don't get 5 stars is because I accidentally got one extra sauce, back when you filled your own sauce cups, and they yelled at me because my meal only came with.. I forget, two? three? But I got an extra one and you would have thought I was stealing from them. I left the sauce sitting on the counter. Nobody was going to take that sauce. I would have paid for it if they'd calmly told me it was so much extra. But they admonished me like I was a child. Now they hand you the sauce because of covid so that's not an error you can make. Overall, the people are nice enough and the food is good. So we keep going. read more

Ordered hibachi steak, problem no steak on order. Going across the street from now on.

The service was ok and I appreciate that they have certain sauces in the front of the restaurant instead of asking them. They will give you a lot of onions with the meal though and it's not cooked at all to be honest but for something quick and easy... The place to go. Not too sure if I would make another visit mainly because I feel as if I could do better for the price. read more

The service was honestly horrible , and when I was getting my food I saw TWO ROACHES RUN ACROSS THE COUNTER by the cash register.

This food is garbage. And its expensive! First and last time ordering. You say how can someone mess up grilled food? Well these folks can. And I paid a dollar more for extra vegetables. If they gave me extra I didn't see them. Maybe it was that one piece of onion they didn't give others? And on top of it all u get two yumyum sauce. I paid 45 cent for an extra one. I have no problem paying extra but it was watered down. I should have went to McDonald's. Save your money folks. Take a pass on this one. read more

Food is sub par and the portion of food is disappointing in comparison to the price they are charging. If you are disappointed, don't tell the lady in the front, she doesn't care read more

I used to come here years ago and they used to give way more food for the same prices. I hate restaurants that try to downsize plates to make more money. There's better hibachi spots literally across the street. read more

My family ordered Hibachi steak and a side order of noodles. The hibachi steak was $8.61 and the noodles were $7.52. The hibachi steak was okay. The noodles were nothing more that Ramen noodles. Very disappointing! These are not the typical noodles you would get from a restaurant that serves hibachi. read more

They had the regular stuff that a normal Japanese restaurant has, but everything was just average. It was not bad, but just average. The place was clean. If I'm in the area in the future, I will give it another try . read more

Can never get the order right. If you call ahead or place in person. We have given more than enough chances. Don't waste your time or money.

Just ordered 2 philly rolls to go. Got home and they were completely off! The crab is completely rotten. Waste of money and possibly making us sick. read more

Great take out food option, healthy fresh vegetables prepared fresh to order. speed of service is just right. The homemade sauces are really a nice touch. only thing and its really petty of me is the only cutlery is a mini plastic fork, a normal size utencil and maybe a spoon would have been nice for the rice. read more

A-Ok. I stopped here for lunch since it's somewhat close to my job. I ordered it ahead of time and was happy to see that it was ready when I arrived. I was disappointed that they didn't offer a lunch sized portion (and price to go along with it). It was very busy during this time, but the cashier was fast and efficient. She was not overly friendly, but I'd still say it was good service, since she was so busy. There are about 15 tables inside and none on the outside. It's takeout style, so no waitress. The establishment is clean; the Health Grade was 98.5, I believe. On to the food. I ordered the hibachi chicken and steak. I can tell that the food is fresh, b/c I saw them cooking it and putting it on the trays straight from the grill as opposed to spooning it out of chafing dishes like some places. However, the taste was just lacking. There wasn't a ton of flavor and everything was really dry until I doused the entire plate with "yum yum" sauce, which is white sauce. I would go back again, b/c there aren't that many options for Asian food around here and the other Japanese joint across the street and next to the grocery store is worse. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant. Friendly fast services and always fresh! Location is great as well, right off 540 on hwy 64 business.

I have been coming here for years and have never had a bad experience. Huge portions for the price you pay, which is no more than you'll pay at any other Asian restaurant. Friendly staff and the place is very clean. Best Japanese food I've ever had read more

Tasty, easy to order food. I love getting the Hibachi Chicken and Steak and dousing it in soy sauce. The staff is extremely friendly and it's fun to watch the men cook in the back. Lovely, comfortable place. read more

Not bad, but not amazing either. Food is cooked from ready made plates kept in cold storage. Hopefully they cycle those prepared plates out often. Yes the white sauce is good, but if you try it without the sauce you will find the chicken is just ok. Portions are reasonable for the price. The service was good and the meal was prepared quickly, probably thanks to the pre-portioned plates. Crab Rangoon was also good. read more

This was the most lackluster Japanese food I've ever had...I had to refry the rice for hubbie when we got home because their idea of fried rice was throwing soy sauce on white rice...I gave them three stars because I'm newly vegan and I appreciated the menu options here...the hibachi vegetables were great though and babe said his steak was good... read more

This was my first time eating here. The staff is very friendly. The food was good for the most part. The portion size was not so great. I feel like the chef was being a little stingy with the food. Beside that everything was fine. read more

When this place first opened I went there a few times and it was OK. Fast forward years later and we went back. For the last time. Good: Prices (but then again if you look at what you are getting I am not so sure they are good) Staff is nice Bad: We got there at the start of lunch and the garbage can was full and spilling over onto the floor. I am thinking it was not emptied from the day before. Limit on the # of sauces you can get without having to pay extra. This is tacky and irritating. The forks. Yes, I am complaining about the forks. They are really weird and have odd shaped prongs that made it hard to pickup rice and twirl noodles. I got the veggie hibachi and the base was supposed to have mushrooms. No mushrooms in sight but they did have shredded cabbage. I am going to assume this is because it is cheaper to do it that way but what you are left with is basically flavorless. . Well, unless sodium is considered a flavor. There were 2 small, thin carrots. The onions were burnt on the edges. My husband got noodles with steak. It was basically a few pieces of tough meat thrown on top of some oily noodles. Honestly it felt like no one cared about the quality or flavor of the food. Just threw some stuff on a plate. We were just picking at the meals talking about how bad the twangy country music playing was and then Mambo #5 came on that that ran us out. We thought about taking all of the leftovers home to the dogs but decided all of the sodium may kill them and tossed them. The meal was cheap but it was still a waste of money. read more
