    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

The atmosphere here was a bit more lively and crowded compared to the more relaxed vibe of the UWS spot. I enjoyed my meal even more this time around. I started with the beet salad, which was delicious and offered great value given the generous portion size. it featured sliced beets, arugula, goat cheese, and walnuts. I also had my eye on the hijiki soybean salad--which is a bit smaller and reportedly homemade--so I may try that next time, along with the warm mushroom salad which looked very tasty. The edamame was standard but served as a nice starter. For my main rolls, I chose the salmon avocado and the yellowtail scallion. Both were very fresh and definitely worth ordering again. The salmon avocado roll had a nice touch of sesame seeds on the rice, while the yellowtail scallion was prepared with the seaweed on the outside. My boyfriend's sushi entree looked excellent, so I am considering that or the sushi-sashimi combo for my next visit. The entrees provide a substantial amount of food, and I especially appreciate that they allow you to choose which roll comes with your meal.
