We go there almost every month. Hibachi and sushi is excellent. Pricy though. But by far best sushi around the area.

Really good hibachi! Honestly was skeptical after reading the reviews but it was really good and really large portions. It might seem a little bland but it also isn't saturated in sauce. Which is good! ALSO THE GLASSES ARE LIKE HUGE. (Also a plus) read more

Excellent sushi Average hibachi. Bland but salty Waiters very rude. They walk away mid order Hibachi chefs are very nice and friendly Nice place and great for kids. Only real problem are the the rude waiters. read more

Food 8 + ambiance 3 + value 6 + service 6 = overall 6.5 / 10 (good/decent) Very good sushi, but on the pricey side. A simple eight-piece sushi dinner with one cut roll is $22. Unfortunately, because the decor lacks softness, the interior is cacophonous enough to actually interfere with conversation. read more

I can't decide whether to give four or five stars. Really good sushi so five for that but no liquor license so you have to buy your own at the store next door. Ok that saves me money so should really be five stars all round. Food and service impeccable, just stick with the more traditional choices if you don't want way too much food The uni was very fresh and should be recommended. read more

Had takeout for lunch and I was surprised it taste so good. I got the scallop hibachi lunch to go with fried rice. Very flavorful and sooo filling. For $14 I would say it was a great deal. My coworker ordered the bento box and she loved her food too! Will be coming back. read more

Kiku Bedminster - Scallop hibachi lunch with fried rice - Sushi Bars Near Me - Bedminster, New Jersey

I'm giving this place three stars bc both times we visited Kiku they rushed us. When you're going out for hibachi it is supposed to be an experience, and it was not. The food however was very good as is the sushi. It's a BYOB which is nice. read more

Went during lunch time. Ordered sushi lunch and asked to substitute California roll for cucumber roll with no problems. Delicious and fast. Was in and out in 30 mins. Good place to go for sushi if u r in a hurry. read more

Sushi had no flavor and a bit overpriced. Ordered two signature roles and two basic rolls. Kani salads had lettuce mixed in as a filler.

One of the best Hibachi places to visit in NJ. Giving a 4 because they don't serve Sake, otherwise, good food, environment and staff. Don't forget to BYOB. Be prepared to be greeted with big smile from everyone on staff. We visited on a Tuesday and got all the attention on the table. read more

So sad to see that they closed down. I hope they reopen somewhere else soon. My guess is they lost their lease.

On a Friday night, at 8:30, we were ignored walking into the restaurant--for quite a while until we asked that we be seated, since they don't close until 10pm. We were seated at a hibachi grill. We were told there is no way they would allow us to order sushi--"the table next to us is waiting 45 minutes for theirs, and the sushi chef wants to leave." The hibachi chef was nice, but the food was very bland. We had to ask for water, and brought wine. Terrible attitude, terrible service, bland food. Go anyplace else. I really don't think they're in business to make a profit or because they love it--maybe it's a front. Cranky female waitress, cranky chefs, and no one was having any fun. read more

Pretty disappointing. Had hibachi where the chicken & steak were both tough, while the noodles and rice were bland. Restaurant was pretty empty and they seemed to be in a rush to move us along. Losing its mojo? read more

I wish I got what I ordered. I have ordered the tuna tartar many times prior to the Covid shut down. When the restaurant re opened I was so happy to be able to get the typical items I get from Kiku. Unfortunately, I ordered the tuna tartar when the restaurant re opened, but it looked like dog/cat food. This time I requested chucks of tuna, as it used to be. The minute I walked through the doors I was welcomed by the chef who told me he doesn't make dog food. So rude. I'm the customer and I'll pay for what I expect. The cashier told me they will make it the way I want it and how it was used to be made for $20, like no. So, I said no and to cancel the item. She looked at me like I had 2 heads. She said she didn't know how to cancel the item and refund me. She asked me to call the company who handles their app and request a refund. Like seriously??? I give 3 starts, only because the Kibashi combo with the filet mignon and shrimp my hubby ordered was superb! read more

Great for lunch ok for dinner. Lunch plates run about $14 per person and most come with soup and salad plus choice of rice or noodle. They also have sushi. Lunch crowd hits hard at noon so come around 1130 or 1245 to avoid. read more

3.5 stars. I stopped here on my way back from North Jersey and it was not very busy on a Tuesday at 6PM. The service was very attentive and it was not very crowded. So I can't speak for how the staff would act under pressure or how loud it could possibly get with a full crowd. As for the food I ordered the Sashimi regular plate at $27 smack-a-roos which consisted of 21 pieces of decent sized fresh tuna, yellow tail and the like. The tuna was bland but all other species were very tasty. The noodles that the table next to me ordered looked very good. Menu is pretty extensive too. There is also a hibachi area which was not too well separated from the main dining area so the smells were a little overwhelming. If I ever go back I'm trying the noodles. read more

There is a LQ store within walking distance, and the restaurant is BYOB. So far I have ordered the Hibachi Chicken, which I adore. My boyfriend ordered the Hibachi Shrimp, which were a bit over cooked (otherwise this place would be 5 stars, in my opinion). Great food, big portions and friendly waitstaff. We will be going back again soon. read more

I have been here several times for lunch and it is great. However, the service on the weekend is terrible. For hibachi, they rush you in and speed you through dinner so fast your head spins! It seems like they want you to be seated at the top of the hour, and within 60 minutes they want to have the table clear for the next group. So, you have about 52 minutes to select your dinner from the menu, order, eat soup, eat salad, watch the chef cook, catch a piece of shrimp in your mouth, eat rice, eat veggies, eat meat, get the check, pay the check, and get out. I saw people at other tables rolling their eyes suffering from the same problem. I took my wife and kids for my son's birthday and it was not relaxing at all. The staff (especially one older Asian woman) raced us through the meal. I told her it was my son's birthday and wanted a candle on his desert, but she rushed us through the meal and brought the check without ever even saying happy birthday! It seems like they only use 3 of the 4 hibachi tables. Instead of racing everyone through 3 tables, they should just open the 4th and let the customers relax. read more

Updating my review to 4 stars. The place has consistently good food. It is a BYOB, and there's a liquor store across the street. They have many, many healthy options on the menu, and the service is always good. read more

I have been here twice now and both times were absolutely awesome!! The food is delicious!!! Both times we had Hibachi but the sushi take out is always busy so that's on our list to try next as there aren't too many sushi places around here I'm hoping it's as good as the Hibachi. The service was a little slow both times but the food is on point. read more

Made the mistake of going after a winter storm! We just got power in the area and this place has always been on point until today! We ordered two appetizers but only one came out, we didn't say anything and just let it go our shiitake mushrooms and asparagus tips did come out. The mushrooms were so tough you can barely chew them. That was sent back. We both ordered filet habachi, everything was good as far as the rice and a side of noodles but the filet smelled and tasted bad! They obviously didn't throw out any old or expired meat and tried to serve it to the customers! We paid for our sodas and left the owner wasn't apologetic and was pissed as if it's our fault! Needless to say we left hungry and upset and we are never coming back! Horrible experience and horrible customer service. read more

Worst experience ever. We had to shout in order to hear each other and we ended up leaving before the drinks got there.

We went here with friends and overall we all had a good time. We did the Hibachi experience and brought our own wine/beer. Ok, so when we first arrived we couldnt find a parking spot in their lot or the lot adjacent so we made our own parking spot lol hoping to not get a ticket - so something needs to be done about that; then we had to wait about 20 minutes past our reserved time for our table and waiting area is not the greatest, no real place to sit and wait. So we opened a bottle of wine and stood around drinking some wine.The restaurant tried to make up for the wait by giving us an extra dish of edname when we sat at our table which was nice. We shared the hibachi table with other people and that was fine except they crammed you in for every inch so seating was very tight. On to the food... I thought the food was excellent, we had sushi, soup and salad to start and all was great and fresh. Then on the Hibachi most of us had steak and shrimp. The food was very good ( always salty of course : ) ) but cooked to our liking , and we did enjoy our meals. We all shared one dessert, the fried ice cream and banana which was verrrry yummmmy as well.So overall, we did enjoy - maybe next time we'll plan for the early seatings so we dont have to wait and can park somewhere. I give it 3 stars, subtracting stars for parking situation, waiting time, being crammed in at the table, and price was a little high for what you get.... read more

The food is delicious & fresh but overpriced. The service , however, is garbage. The people are beyond rude. It's as if they think they're doing you a favor by being their customer. read more

This was the closest place selling Koran food from my work. Tried hot stone bowl and it was quite good taste. Not many Korean dishes and all are little expensive even for lunch manues. It's more like Japanes and hibachi place selling few of Korean foods on side. Serving was slow or didn't get much attention. Saw hibachi show next group having and not so much to see. Toss to mouth was terrible chef's aim was bad. Might try for some Japanese food next time. read more

Consistently good hibachi and sushi. For the hibachi, the meats and fish/shrimp are always fresh, the veggies too. We have had sushi here a few times and although it is pricey everything is fresh and tasty. read more

Went there for lunch not too long ago for the first time. I got Lunch Combo C which was 3 roll lunch. The Sushi was delicious and came out quick! I will be going back again. read more

My department brought in a large party to celebrate a colleague's birthday on November 19, 2014. There was also another large party coming in. Some of us definitely went for the hibachi and others wanted sushi. When each of us arrived, we were told that all of us were not allowed to have hibachi because they weren't going to turn on the hibachi grill and the meal would be prepared in the kitchen. As we ordered, some ordered sushi, a few teriyaki chicken and the rest of us wanted hibachi. When the waitress got to the 5th to last person who requested hibachi, she was told no more hibachi. Finally the waitress gave into the rest of my colleagues. The food itself was extremely bland. If you want top notch hibachi, go to SoGo 46 in Denville on Rte 46W. That is by far the best hibachi I have ever had. This place is not equipped mentally to handle two large parties at once. It's either that or laziness. You think they would be happy to accommodate multiple large parties because of the amount of money made. There are plenty other restaurants in Bedminster and Basking Ridge that are better than here. I would not go back. read more

To keep it simple... this place sucks and my wife and i will never return. If you want the details read below. My wife ordered hibachi shrimp and chicken. To her surprise it was cooked in teriyaki which she doesn't like. We asked the waitress because we thought they made a mistake. She said that is the way they prepare it. We found this strange since my wife has ordered this many times in the past and it has never come with teriyaki. We did a quick Internet search to confirm that hibachi is cooked with soy, butter and garlic. Next we looked at the menu and saw that it said soy, butter and garlic but no teriyaki. Next we showed it to the waitress and the manager. They say that they add teriyak and i insisted on charging us because we ordered it. Not sure if the I'm more bothered by the fact that they lied on the menu or how they treat us. The sushi was mediocre to boot. read more

As far as Hibachi goes the food was particularly tasteless and overpriced. Between my wife and I we had chicken, shrimp and lobster. I didn't see the chef use any kind of garlic or seasoning that you would usually expect from any decent Hibachi joint. I will say that portions were larger then your usual Hibachi and the staff were very nice but when you are spending $35/$40 a person it would nice if the food had at least a little flavor. read more

Three of us went to dinner on Friday night at approx. 7:30pm. We waited to be seated, which we expected, but once seated it took forever to get served. We asked for water and tea right away but after that it was over an hour before we got food. I understand letting the kitchen catch up but they could have brought us something to munch on. The Sushi was very good and fresh but the wait created a poor experience. I was going to do a call in order and then bring to the table - it would have been faster. read more

Fabulous hibachi lunch for bridal shower for 58 people. delicious food enjoyed by all ages! All were served within a reasonable amount of time. Ordered beautiful sushi boats as appetizers. worked out great to have appetizers ready while waiting for all to arrive. The staff was attentive and worked with me to set up extra tables for desserts and wine (BYOB)! I would highly recommend Kiku - from a private lunch for 2 up through a large party for 60! read more

I just had sashimi takeout and it was some of the best quality sashimi I've ever had. Have dined there at lunch a few times and didn't find the noise or service to be problems. read more

Good food but slow service and the no booze issue was a pain in the butt. There is a liquor store close and the restaurant will serve for you. read more

Food was average, but a bit pricey. Service was below average. Twice our water glasses had been empty and no one came to fill them, I had to go ask. No one checked in to see how our lunch was. Only two tables were in use, and I see why. We had finished, paid, and we were getting ready to leave, and the hostess decided we needed to be informed "we closed now"... it was exactly 2:30, the time they close for a break. We won't be bothering her again with our business. read more

One of my go to places. Consistently good food and service. I am a fan of their sushi and don't hesitate to go there for lunch.

In general good, but not great. I would go back being the area in general does not have much in the way of good sushi. Here is the scoreboard: Sushi: 4 star. Fresh, tasty and overall great. Presentation was very boring though, and let's face it, we eat with our eyes. Soup/Salad: 3 star. It was fine. Nothing to write home about. The salad was surely not the crispest freshest veggies, but the ginger dressing was good. Service: 2.5 star. It was OK, but I think I was expecting more. Not particularly friendly, fast or courteous. Didn't even get the usual goodbye/thanks from the sushi chefs while leaving (and don't know why I expect that either, just seems to happen in most places...right?). Decor/seating: 3 star. The table was a bit small for the 2 of us, like having to move stuff around to fit the plates. That annoys me, especially when bigger tables were empty (we went lunchtime). So, if you are in the area and craving some raw fish, by all means this place will not offend you I'm sure. You won't be calling your BFF Yoshi and telling him to cancel his reservations at Blue Ribbon in NYC to come try it though. read more

This is a charming little restaurant with outstanding Japanese fare. Prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly and attentive. This was my first time and I plan on returning frequently read more

The rolls are delicious, the ambiance is very nice and the service staff is very polite. I have not tried the hibachi here, but even though it is beside the sushi part of the restaurant, it does not take away from the atmosphere. read more

The food was decent but the service on the one time I went was horrendous and extremely inattentive. It's somewhat overpriced. The parking lot is too small. read more
