Honestly had such a terrible experience here.. the sushi was mid, the service was bad and the seating was worse. I was sitting next to another table that was shoulder to shoulder and the dude next to me was casually spreading his phone, his keys, his shopping all over the seat where I was supposed to be sitting. But dw soda drink refills are $2.50 at an AYCE place! read more

Kikoo Sushi - Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

We dined here maybe 10 yrs ago but never returned. I don't go to many ayce places. Food was just okay. Menu was a bit limited. I just remember we got full pretty quick. They put more rice in the rolls than an ayce sushi spot I've dined at recently.. We sat there wondering how others were able to eat so much... We were hoping our stomachs would feel emptier as time passed since we had a platter of sushi still sitting there. Time only made us feel fuller.. but luckily someone was passing by and sneezed right in the direction of the sushi. We told the waitress...problem solved. It was less than $30pp 10 yrs ago but I'm pretty sure I spent less than that. It was still just okay for us even though it was so cheap...maybe it's better now, who knows.. it was still a popular spot back then...but it was just known for a good cheap ayce sushi spot with the younger crowd. read more

AYCE sushi for about $60 pp after tax and tip! Good quality for AYCE, the hand rolls are STUFFED fat! My fave thing there :) read more

Kikoo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

Such a great bang for your buck - AYCE and drink for $60! The menu is very salmon forward, especially the rolls. I know some people don't like it but I like to switch up and get some galbi and beef wrapped enoki to avoid flavor fatigue. They actually have some really great specially pieces and dishes - you get 1 special app, 15 pieces of sashimi and 15 pieces of nigiri in the AYCE. I wouldn't say the service is slow - you just have to keep a regular ordering pace on the iPad they leave with you. The staff is very nice! It gets pretty packed pretty fast but it's not too loud considering the amount of people. They did a nice happy birthday for a group of dudes. They also have some bunny ears randomly on the menu hahaha. Overall decent experience - I didn't realize there would be limitations but pretty yummy overall. Also don't miss out on the green tea ice cream and fried Oreos at the end! There's a small cash discount FYI but they take card payments. read more

Last time, we went to the Kikoo in Manhattan Valley, This time we had to check out their other location. This location is definitely a lot busier and they had some items that were not available at their Manhattan Valley location. However, the Manhattan Valley had more unique items for their premium items. As you can see, we definitely got our money's worth with this AYCE. We ordered a lot of food. We ordered: Fried Capelin Takoyaki Tuna Tataki Dumpling & Shu Mai Beef Short Ribs Mussels Sushi Rolls & Sashimi Miso Eggplant Kani Salad & Seaweed Salad & Salmon Skin Salad Broccoli Tuna Tartare Edamame Salmon Teriyaki Cold Tofu Pork Bun Tempura Bacon and Enoki Mushrooms This is a great spot to come in with a big group and come hungry! read more

Amazing sushi ayce. The hand rolls are my favorite. They allow 15 sashimi a person and 15pcs of the sushi individual pieces. The sashimi is sliced super thick. Everything tasted fresh. For the hot foods, I got the seafood and mushroom soup. It was my favorite soup from a buffet I've had before. I tried the emoki wrapped in beef. It was lacking flavor. I also tried the pork bun. The pork was very good but the addition of lettuce was a strange choice. The gyoza was good and very crispy. I got the mango pudding, which was my least favorite thing from the ayce. The matcha mochi ice cream was good. It came packaged in plastic. I also tried the red bean ice cream, which was standard. Overall a good ayce sushi spot. Would recommend if you're craving sushi. read more

Very full... Ate too much sushi... Kikoo offers two AYCE options, one is AYCE and one also includes AYCD. Kikoo is a pretty loud experience, with dim LED lighting and usually at least one or two large party events. Outside of this, very decent AYCE spot in Manhattan! There is a special item section of the menu, where each person can order 1 item for the duration of the meal, and same policy applies for one of their dessert sections. A decent spot to celebrate a friend's birthday too! read more

Kikoo Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

I went there for the all-you-can-eat option. The sushi was good, but the dim sum and rolls were very greasy you could actually taste the oil, which took away from the flavor. The worst part, however, was the service. It took about 15 minutes between each round of orders, which made the experience feel very slow. I would suggest ordering your next round before finishing the current one to avoid long waits. Personally, I might go there again, but probably only once a year. read more

Sushi was decent, for an all-you-can-eat in the city, $60 pp was great. You can stay for 2 hours. Went there at 3 pm and did not need to wait for a table for 2. You can tell the quality of the fish was cheap. You get 1 dessert and 1 special item pp which was acceptable. Drinks cost extra, and you can spend more to get AYCE + drinks. Service was good, not great. Overall, I would not go back back unless extremely hungry. read more

Best AYCE sushi I've ever had in my life. Granted, I'm not from New York. But seriously would say hands down the best, and whatta bang for buck, given the quality! read more

An AYCE and drink sushi place should theoretically be a decrepit pit or a food safety hazard waiting to happen, and this was neither. For $50 before tax and tip you can choose wine, beer, sake, or sangria and order from a very wide menu of appetizers, rolls, etc. Ordering is done through an iPad and service is quick. Most items came out within a few minutes at most. There are a couple of categories where each person can only order one item, but I didn't find this limiting at all. The sushi isn't great by any means, but it certainly stands up against the other basic placed in nyc, so you can really get your money's worth if you drink and take advantage of the special rolls. Would absolutely return! Very fun! read more

The last time I was at KIKOO was about 9 to 10 Years ago when everything was brand spanking new and the place didn't get as packed. Today on 2/15/2025 I opted to come here because we had tickets to a play and wanted to go down memory lane. Service; The service was not rude, but it wasn't accommodating either. We found a table near the door and it was so cold out. When I asked to be seated in the back, because It was freezing ,the waitress explained that the back didn't open until 8pm, and it was 7pm. Food: While the food comes out lighting fast, the taste was just ok. Mediocre at best. Im not sure if its because I've tried so many other competitive restaurants since my last visit, but I really need to emphasize that the experience and taste here has really fallen short . I couldn't wait to get out honestly. The only thing holding me back from getting up to leave was that my husband had just signed us up for $53 AYCE and AYCD. (Only option is Sapporo beer and cheap wine) I don't drink, however they don't allow one person at the table to AYCD, both of you need to order the same. Alcohol; The wine they carry is Franzia, which is the cheapest wine on the face of the Earth. In past experiences when consuming that wine, I found that I would get really sick because it has too much acidity and not only does it trigger my heartburn, but gives me a gut punching stomach ache, therefore I steer clear. Taste; Beef Teriyaki = Super Bland Short Ribs = covered it fat Vegetable soup = so tasty Negamaki = bland Enoki = bland Dragon Roll = delicious Japanese Egg Plant with miso glaze = delicious Dumplings = tasteless Drinks; Sapporo served in a pitcher, not cold enough as per Husband Ambience; Don't come here if you cant deal with loud saki bomb banging on the tables. It gets really loud. Security; People smoking Weed in front of the restaurant. Come on! Take that shit elsewhere! Why should we be forced to dine with the smell of Weed in our faces? We don't like the smell of cigarettes while we eat, so treat that shit the same! I swear, I feel as if ever since NYClegalized it, smokers now believe that we should just deal with the smell that is getting blown at us from every damn corner! FYI; Some of us still prefer wanting to smell food at a restaurant, not WEED! . The Security Guard, yes... I said it, Security Guard, was so busy telling ppl that their two hours were up, and didn't control the line, nor the weed smoking in the the front entrance, nor the fact that leaving that door open in the first place was making the entire experience unworthy. Thank you, but no thank you! I will never return! read more

There aren't that many AYCE sushi spots in the city and this is one of them. I have been here since pre-COVID and is actually surprised that I have not written a review for them. My friends and I came here the day before Thanksgiving for AYCE sushi which is about $42 per person. They also have AYCE sushi and drinks which is around $55 which I think is also a great deal if you drink a good amount. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance because they can get very busy. The place itself is pretty spacious and they have a pretty big area in the back so you can definitely bring large groups of people here. The menu is very extensive and also includes desserts. They have a lot of different rolls as well as sashimi and a lot of appeitizers. Their appeitizer items also include a lot of fish items as well so it's not like you are getting full off of just fries. The quality is not bad - it's pretty standard for all AYCE sushi and the food comes out extremely fast. You also order on an ipad so you do not constantly have to look for someone to place orders. The food comes out fairly quickly once you order. Overall - a solid AYCE sushi spot and with tip and tax it came out to around $52 per person which is not bad at all for the city. Would recommend coming here! read more

An East Village staple for AYCE sushi -- we came in with a group of 15 for a friend's birthday dinner. They definitely accommodate large parties and have an ordering tablet to keep things moving. This is a quantity over quality place IMHO -- nothing was bad, per se, but it also didn't blow me away. I didn't really try most of the nigiri but the rolls themselves were decent and they had quite a few vegetarian and non-sushi options too. For what it is, felt a little on the pricey side for me! A bit of a hectic pace, but did appreciate that they had everything from apps to rolls to desserts covered. read more

For the price of $47.20 ($40 for AYCE, non-optional 18% gratuity) , you get a very good deal of AYCE Sushi. They also have an option for $50 AYCE ($59.00 overall) that includes unlimited drinks. The menu was very varied and the sashimi and fish dishes overall were fresh. They even have fried menus, some meat dishes and dessert included in the AYCE. There was not a single piece I ate that felt too fishy. I admit that the price may not seem cheap but for the amount of food you are getting it is definitely worth it. If you can eat more than 24 pieces of sushi, rolls, or sashimi (which is about 3 rolls or 2 nigiri sets of 12 pcs) in a single sitting, this is a good deal (assuming a maki roll cost around $16 per for 8 pieces). That being said, the place is extremely noisy, and is filled with university students and young people. It is NOT a quite restaurant where you can chat in private. I assume that it is quiter on weekdays and when there are fewer university students on campus. read more

What more can you say about an AYCE sushi place? They have more stuff than just sushi, like some meat sides, and desserts. But obviously you come here for the sushi. It uses a tablet to order your food and has pictures too so you can easily see what you like and don't like. I got there a bit early to beat the rush. Because I feel if there are a lot of people, the sushi "engineers" will have a hard time keeping up. Give it a try. I forgot the price of it but to me, it was well worth the price. read more

Made us wait an hour and a half just to cancel our spot on the waitlist. Absolutely unacceptable.

That was the day we realized this place was very good. We started off with the plate of eddy mamas lol. So goooooodddds. But I wish more salt more salt more salt more salt more salt XD!! Pork gyoza and sauce was SOO GOD OML OMG LMAO LMFAO ROTFL. We decided to split a spicy dragon roll and the hibachi chicken. The spicy dragon roll. UHHHHMAZZZZING. So saucy such awesome textures, overall just super duper delicious *insert drooling emoji*. LOL. LMAO. The hibachi chicken was alright. 5/10. Did the job. Honestly just wish we got more sushi LOLLLLLLLLLLL. Water water water water water also there was complimentary mouthwash in the bathrooms. I liked this place. AC was blasting which felt great on a hot summer night. Thanks KIKOO. read more

jaz - i visited kikoo sushi the most tastiest rolls i have ever hd and so affordable guys its a must visit

Great Sushi restaurant. All you can eat for very reasonable price. The staff is wonderful. I highly reccommend this restaurant.

Been wanting to get AYCE sushi for a long time so was super excited to try this place out as one of the only AYCE sushi locations in Manhattan. Came a bit early for dinner on a weekend and was seated immediately which was nice. The way this place works is that they give you an iPad and you just order whatever you want and they get it to your table within 5 minutes. It's all very efficient. I would recommend coming with a bigger party so that you can try more variety of foods. Here are some of my favorite eats: - Crab Legs - Sweet crab legs full of meat, what is there not to like? - Miso Soup - This is a weird thing to like at a AYCE sushi buffet BUT I think this was the palate cleanser I needed in order to continue eating the rest of the sushi. It was nice to get something hot and silky in my system. - Salmon Kama - I was pretty shocked that they had salmon collar on the menu as it is usually a pretty expensive eat. The salmon was very tender although there was a bit more fatty parts than I would've liked. - Tamago Nigiri - This is so lame, but tamago nigiri is definitely my favorite type of nigiri with it's slightly sweet eggy taste perfectly matches the slightly sour rice. - Tuna Tartare - When I first took a bite of this thing, I was kind of shocked because I felt like the sauce went so perfectly with the tuna. However, when I ate this at the end of the meal, I felt a bit like throwing up because the tuna was cut too thick and messily. Would recommend ordering this as one of the first things. What I would not recommend ordering: - Fried Oreos - When you are full, this is the last thing that should be on your list of things to eat as it is incredibly filling. I ate 1/4 of one and I felt like I just ate pure oil. - To be honest, after awhile all the sushi flavors start to mix together and they start to taste very similarly. Definitely need to find a palate cleanser on the menu in order for you to eat more. Overall, great experience where I ate a bit too much. I feel like this is a definitely once a year type of deal as I'm still recovering from the food coma a few days later. read more

Kikoo Sushi - The spread !! - Sushi Bars Near Me - New York, New York

this place serves the most basic you can find at an AYCE place- salmon, crab meat, tuna, yellow tail. Honestly, there's not really much options IMO. The place was pretty packed when I arrived around 6. The hostess was kind of rude - you'll be greeted with if you want to do AYCE sushi and also if you want "drinks". I was didn't understand what she meant so I asked her to repeat herself. She rolled her eyes and said DRINK. Thankfully a nice young lady said to me, she's meaning if you want alcohol that's AYCE. I said oh, well, YOU could have said alcohol and NO THANK YOU . She again tried to explain to us how to order through the iPad, again, rushed herself, spoke low and didn't want to be bothered with question if you had. Decor - place was dimly lit, tables were placed too closely together IMO. I doubt I'd return to this place again read more

Charging themselves 18% guaranteed tip, and if you don't pay it, they chase after you for no service whatsoever

Really bad to automatically charge 18% tip to bill, only allowing 2 hours of dining time, and not accommodating to allergies - eel sauce should be a choice and not to be told to order something else. For what they charge and their service I wouldn't recommend read more

Why this place isn't higher rated shocks me. It is everything you can ask for from an AYCE sushi place. $43 a person (before tax and tip) for 2 hours, which definitely isn't an issue. You use an iPad to order and the food comes out SO quick, there is zero stalling on their part. The key is not fill up on super filling rolls and focus on the sashimi nigiri!! Ate an insane amount of tuna and salmon nigiri. I was so focused on eating I didn't take pictures of everything we ordered but yum! 3rd time coming here and never fails! The waiters are all so nice and welcoming too! read more

Everything was just good. I'd say the waiters are more inclined to service the AYCE crowd--which wasn't me. The fish was pretty good, but the rolls were a bit lacking. The place itself is decent.. not too dark and not too loud. All around an okay dinner. read more

Pretty decent sushi for its price. Not the best but not the worst either. Miso soup and seaweed salad are good. Milk tea was surprisingly really good. I would come back if it weren't for the obnoxious drunk tables. Seems a lot of NYU students come here to get drunk with the unlimited drink package but the waiters do nothing to stop them from screaming all night and banging on tables. Having a conversation with friends here is nearly impossible. read more

1st time here for my friend birthday.... We needed order from touch panels. It was easy to order and all foods arrived pretty fast. last order was 10min before we sat down. I loved the plates! It's quite good quality and photo genetic :) My friends are satisfied from sashimi. I liked the matcha ice cream in the end. service fees were included :) one thing, I ordered French fries, they'll need to be in the oil another 3-5min till get color changed.....it was too soft !!! not deep fried at all :'( udon noodle, soup was very light taste but for health reasons, I think it's good. If you don't like the taste, you can add soy. I also recommend to order together with Tempura. I had shiitake tempuras! In the bathroom, mouth wash was inside! It's clean atmosphere decor. It's also good for dating I thought. They have about 50 phone chargers I saw.... Lol So you can ask them to charge your phone if you needed! (I forgot to attach the pic) you won't need to go for another coffee after you eat here. Ppl are talking about negative reviews /servers....come on, this is "all we can eat" -they have lots of orders, almost all the tables are occupied, I understand they have to bring to other tables quickly...thats their job. that's why they gave us an iPad to order. I wasn't expecting a good service. We have 2hr policy it says at the restaurant and we were told. I don't complain anything the service was bad or not just bring food fast. Plus 18% grantee so I don't have to think about tip. For 2, it's about $100 and more. Each person gets rolls x5, you have $40 back. Enjoy! Im coming back again! :) read more

Mediocre sushi, wasn't worth the price imo.

Awesome deal for all you can eat sushi and all you can drink beer, wine, and sake (2 hour limit). Is the sushi the best you'll ever have? No. But that's not the expectation. It's definitely good and there are so many rolls to choose from. Everything is ordered on an iPad which you keep at your table the entire time. Food comes really quickly. There's a great selection of appetizers, rolls, tempura, sashimi etc. They also have an insane dessert selection and weekly specials too. When you sit down they instantly bring out a pitcher of beer and a pitcher of sake. Hello bombs. For wine you get a choice of red and white. Definitely make a reservation. They're packed. read more

I've been wanting to try an AYCE sushi meal forever and couldn't wait to eat here! Third time was definitely a charm as I was finally able to snag a table. The set up is super convenient- they have both AYCE and a la carte options, only caveat being everyone at the table needs to opt for AYCE if you're going that route. Each table gets an iPad with the menu, you order whatever you want and as many plates of it as you want at d as by time off your tablet and someone brings the food to you. I loved the setup as it lets you browse through the menu and figure out what you want next. The food was tasty, the fish was fresh and the options are plentiful enough that you can definitely eat to your hearts content. You're allowed 20 pieces of sashimi per person and unlimited other rolls/appetizers/desserts so make sure you come hungry. This was a great first time and I can't wait to come back here soon!! read more

First let's start with the positives. Although we went during peak hours on a Saturday night (7:45pm) we got seated immediately as a party of 2. The service was good. The iPad they give you allows you to call for service/water/napkins etc - the servers responded within 30 seconds tops each time. The staff was very courteous and friendly as well. Unfortunately, that's about where the positives end. The place was poorly lit and very dim, beyond what would be considered "mood lighting." The food was also pretty awful. The salmon was legitimately slimy and obviously low quality. Every single roll we ordered fell apart the second you touched it with a chopstick and attempted to pick it up. Regardless of how busy you are, you can't rush rolling sushi to that degree. We ordered cold sake, and a 300mL bottle of import sake as well. The house sake tasted like pure isopropyl, and the "cream flavored" import just tasted like nothing. Four shots of the house sake and half of the import bottle also had my gf feeling no buzz whatsoever when she typically is a lightweight. The tables are also placed WAY too close together to maximize occupancy, to the point where to get up and use the bathroom you have to have your neighboring guest move their table over. As a final point, the noise level was absolutely deafening. It was mostly coming from a party in the back of the place that was making insane amounts of noise. I am not some kind of karen- they were legitimately all screaming and yelling nonstop. If people want to act like that, they need to rent the entire place out and not ruin the dining experience of other paying customers. read more

All you can eat sushi! For like 2 hours and trust me - I couldn't eat anymore after almost 2 hours. I think it's like around $40 but they have groupon deals all the time. Included were also two free drinks a person. It's a great deal and the food tastes fresh but I would go in with a game plan. We had a game plan and I think I got carried away with myself. You order off a little digital pad that makes everything more fun and everything comes out once you place your order of things that say $0 and it comes out startlingly fast. Started off with some apps: edamame, shumai, pork and shrimp dumplings, pork belly buns, tuna, spring rolls, I have no idea even . . . it just kept coming. Sushi rolls - the one request was that there was a sweet potato and an avocado cucumber roll and then I went hog wild. I regret not ordering more of the specialty rolls and kind of getting too excited too fast. Like that philadelphia roll wasn't necessary. Spicy tuna? Always. I didn't need to also try the peanut avocado roll when we already had an avocado roll but I've heard so much ish about this roll on social media that I wanted to try it and it was okaaaay but would rather have raw fish replace it. Had a wine and sake and my date had two beers. Ended with some kind of deep fried banana spring roll thing. I would one hundred and fifty percent come back but with a better strategy for ingesting more sushi and less dumplings and avocado rolls. Yes. read more

Decent spot for all you can eat sushi. The quality is up to par with any average sushi place in the city except you're getting way more bang for your buck. Unless you're looking for omakase, this place can satisfy any of your sushi needs. There's a brunch and a dinner option, the dinner one having more items to choose from. We did the brunch as a trial and really liked the selection of specialty rolls. They also have non-sushi items like fried rice. I would recommend coming here hungry for your 2 hours of all you can eat! read more

I was a little hesitant with all the mixed reviews, but overall for all you can eat sushi, this is a pretty good deal. Right now it's $45 per person without the alcohol. You order on an iPad and the servers bring the food out to you relatively quickly. I really like all the different options that are available. There are many soups, hot appetizers, rolls and fish options to choose from. You even get dessert! The rolls were good. There wasn't too much rice. I thought the hot food tasted good too - and fresh. The fish itself I will warn can be hot or miss. It's too be expected at a place like this. My first order of sashimi was delightful! The second order was a bit too cold and the pieces were a big too thick. Overall it's a fun and good option for sushi on a budget! And a fun place to go with a group to have an activity while you eat. read more

This was my first AYCE Sushi in around 1.5(?) years, so I was super excited to finally be going to a place where I can eat an endless amount of fish. There's a decent variety of sushi, sashimi, hot dishes, and other items such as crab legs. The rolls itself were quite large and filling; they slowed us down pretty quickly. Kikoo also offered an assortment of desserts at the end. I would definitely recommend coming on an empty stomach if you want to come close to your money's worth. Solid AYCE experience after not having it for so long! read more

Ambience - negative stars. Because it's $50 AYCE and drink, it attracts the rowdiest crowd of white men who want to chant "SAKE SAKE SAKE BOMB" at the top of their lungs all night long. It's hard to hear yourself talk over the noise. Bathroom is also unisex so men's pee EVERYWHERE. Disgusting Sushi - actually pretty good for the price hahaha. I was shocked. If u can stand the background noise and already come in kinda drunk, it's not a bad place to pregame and get pretty good sushi that's a bit better than grocery store sushi. read more

Review on a weeknight: 5/5 Review on a Saturday night after 8pm: 2/5 I REALLY want to give this place 5 stars because I've never found an AYCE sushi spot that is worth it...this is the place. However, the ambiance after 8pm on a Saturday night completely shifts into a frat party--absolutely disgusting. Arrived here at 6pm on a Saturday and were seated immediately for AYCE. Was given thorough instructions on how to use the iPad and how to order. This was very efficient and super easy to understand! We did make sure not to waste our hunger on fries/edamame and immediately ordered a bunch of Specialty Rolls. These were great! Fish was fresh and plentiful. Also ordered fried oysters, green tea ice cream, fried Oreos, and mochi ice cream. All included! Service was very quick and we never had to wait too long--we definitely got our money's worth. However, as we were finishing desserts, a bunch of tables of 10-12 people were filing in, treating the place as their personal frat house. Now I am not that far out of undergrad, but watching these peoples' behavior embarrassed me....they started doing sake bombs causing literal EARTHQUAKES banging on their tables. And it wasn't long before they started spilling ENTIRE carafes of beer on the floor. I felt SO bad for the waitstaff who had to clean this up... Now, this was not the restaurants' fault but why did they not speak to these customers to ask them to be more respectful or ask them to leave if they were too drunk? Nor apologize to their other patrons who were staring in disgust? Left pretty disappointed. Also a note for the restaurant...if you are going to say you are cash only...make sure your ATM actually works. It is not the patron's responsibility to walk TEN blocks to the nearest working ATM. Pretty disappointed in the mess of this. read more
