Solid Chinese-Korean fusion place. The inside looks like it used to be an old sushi restaurant or something similar and it's next to a grocery store, but the decor is all elegant. The dishes are all well done and we especially liked the chicken wings aka the Dry Sautéed Chicken with Garlic Sauce. Didn't really know what it was called, but when I asked for chicken wings, the server, knew what I talking about. The Chow Mein was also well done and we didn't have any leftovers for that. I ordered the Peking Style Imperial Pork instead of the Sweet and Sour Pork, however I think he wrote the wrong thing down. Regardless, it was still very good. Overall, the staff is friendly, inside is nice, and the food is delicious, go check them out! read more

Must downgrade them to 3 star for lack of creativity, or too strict the cost control. We came, enthusiastically, for nostalgia and promised to come back. Now with a new group, we ordered some favorite dishes mixed with new. The "sameness" became apparent. Pretty much every dish came with the same ingredients and seasoned/sauced about the same. Not that they were bad, just a bit boring after awhile. read more

Jjampong 5/5 - I really enjoyed this dish. The noodles are chewy which I like. Flavor is good and it's not too spicy. Good amount of veggies too. Jjajangmyeon 5/5 - this dish was also good. Noodles are also chewy. Can't go wrong with this dish Was hoping they would give the pickled radish side dish but they only gave us kimchi which tasted weird. read more

4.25 STARS Gotta love the way AZN parentals reduce, reuse, and recycle. Like opening a blue tin in hopes of danish cookies but it's freakin' sewing supplies. Or, reusing plastic bags as garbage liners. Or, repurposing plastic takeout containers as Tupperware. This business took over Kiku Sushi (FKA Osaka Marketplace). Maybe they didn't want to buy a new sign so said, "WTH, we'll just reuse the sign and call ourselves 'Kiku Restaurant'". The "Kiku Sushi" sign remains. And, no sushi is served. Opening in January 2025, Kiku Restaurant 香苑 향원 serves Korean-Chinese cuisine. It's from the original owner of Tong Soon Garden (Santa Clara). Open for takeout and indoor dining only. Visited during their second opening week and we were the only diners there on a Saturday for lunch. M E N U Korean-Chinese Cuisine, a cuisine created by Chinese immigrants in Korea. Essentially, Chinese-American dishes tweaked for the Korean palate along with staples like jjajangmyeon (black bean noodles), jjampong (spicy seafood noodle soup), and tangsuyuk (sweet & sour pork). Same all day menu. No lunch specials. Complimentary hot tea served. F O O D * Complimentary Kimchi and Pickled Radish * Tangsuyuk: Sweet & Sour Crispy Pork ($22.99): https://tinyurl.com/fvspb7hf - Requested sauce on the side Fav dish - the strips of pork was crispy and tender with a nice chewy bite. The pork wasn't too lean so it wasn't dry. Always prefer tangsuyuk with sauce on the side so it stays crispy. The viscous sweet and sour sauce was perfectly sweet and tangy with pineapple, wood ear mushroom, carrot, cucumber, and onion. * Szechuan Prawns ($23.99): https://tinyurl.com/4v4dr625 Recommended by one of the owners (?), this was my least fav dish. While the shrimp was fresh and plump, the batter was soft/soggy and the tangy sauce needed more heat for that distinctive szechaun flavor. * Jajangmyeon: Korean-Chinese Black Bean Noodles ($14.99): https://tinyurl.com/buz5hrac - We ordered the "Gan-Jajangmyeon", the stir-fried version for +$1 but we were given the Jajangmyeon. Didn't want to waste food or send it back so we kept it. Nice, chewy QQ noodles covered in a glossy sauce with firm shrimp, tender bits of pork, chewy squid, crisp onions + cabbage, and zucchini. The savory-umami flavor was there but I wished they added more sugar to balance the saltiness of the fermented black beans. Otherwise, it was solid. S E R V I C E Humble, warm, and earnest. Flag staff down when you need something. Food took some time to come out but they're new and we weren't in a rush. A M B I A N C E Minimalist retro with mismatched tables and furnishings. There's about a dozen tables and booths. Christian music playlist. P A R K I N G Deserted plaza with easy parking. Overall, Kiku Restaurant 香苑 향원 serves solid Korean-Chinese cuisine. The owner(s) say, they'll be expanding the menu so looking forward to seeing what else they'll have in store. read more

Kiku Sushi is now transformed into a Korean-Chinese fusion spot!! It's an unassuming corner of this plaza. There's big tables for big groups. Simple menu, and staff are kind. + Jajangmyeon (3/5): It lacked some flavor for me. I wish the black bean sauce was a bit saltier or had more umami. They did not skimp on pork and seafood though! Worth the price point! Good texture of noodles too. + Cold Jellyfish Salad (5/5): I loved this! Had a hint of wasabi in the sauce. Super tasty and I loved the jellyfish texture. Perfectly chewyyyy. read more

The owners of the original 同順園 (Tong Soon Garden) in Santa Clara has taken over Kiku Sushi and changed it to a Chinese-Korean restaurant with noodles and great appetizers as their main brand. They're still in soft opening right now so service was a bit slow but they're very busy with full tables and large take out orders. There's a soft opening special until 01/15/25 for $9.99 on Jajangmyun and Jjampong. We ordered the Jajangmyun and the Jjambong--both were delicious with ample seafood and toppings. Our server highly recommended their Kan Pung Gi (chicken wings) which were also delicious and full of flavor. Tangsuyuk was on the sweeter side but with a big serving of pork and toppings. Overall it's a pretty good place if you want casual good Korean-Chinese food in the area. read more

I guess I'd come again if I didn't feel like making jjajjangmyeon myself. This place used to be Kiku Sushi and it's okay. It's located behind some buildings and it's easy to miss. There's nothing wrong with the jjajjangmyeon or jjamppong. Both are tasty and they ask you how spicy you want your jjamppong, a considerate touch. We were the only ones there and nobody else came to eat while we dined. Service was nice and the food came out promptly. My problem lies with the tangsuyuk. It's tasty but they make it with pre-frozen chicken pieces. I'm tempted to drive past this place next time and go directly to H Mart, which is literally a quarter mile away, to buy some pre-frozen chicken at a fraction of the $23 they charge you for one serving, albeit large. Part of the reason I go to restaurants is to experience food I can't cook at home. Paik's does their tangsuyuk so much better. If you don't feel like driving to Santa Clara, this is worth a visit. read more

Service was good and the location was clean. The braised string beans were great. Very savory. Not a fan of the black bean noodles as it tasted too sweet and more tomato based than I was expecting. The noodles themselves were excellent, the sauce did not taste as good as it looked. The walnut shrimp came out hot and the presentation was good. The challenge is that they drizzled the sweet sauce that makes the prawns so delicious. I asked for more sauce which they graciously provided where it would have been great to have it provided up front. Overall good, where some small changes could make it much better. read more

Kiku Restaurant - Jajangmyeon and jjampong - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Located in the back part of the plaza, has plenty of parking though! The sign still says Kiki Sushi but to the right is the entrance to the restaurant (had a neon open sign). There were about 4 other families there when we arrived for early Sunday dinner. The interior is large and spacious. We ordered jjajangmyun, tangsooyuk, chicken fried rice, and ganpungi (fried chicken). Everything tasted fresh (including the veggies in the tangsooyuk!). The portions were enormous and we ended up boxing leftovers to take home. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. Hopefully this place continues to draw in crowds! read more

Hidden Gem Alert! I stumbled upon this delightful little spot completely by chance, and I'm so glad I did! They had jjangjjangmyeon on the menu, which immediately caught my eye. And let me tell you, the food is absolutely delicious! I highly recommend the black bean noodles - perfectly savory and satisfying - and the chicken wings, which were crispy and flavorful. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making the whole experience even better. It has a lovely, open floor plan and everything was spotlessly clean. You can definitely tell it's a family-run business with a lot of heart. Get there before the crowds discover this place! You won't be disappointed. read more

The old gang from Santa Clara's Tong Soon Garden is back at a new location. Taking over the old Kiku Sushi location is the new Korean-Chinese restaurant serving delicious noodles and dumplings. "Dry" Zha Jiang Mian is one of the best in the bay area, better than the standard version. They're short-staffed and open only for lunch for now. read more

We love Korean-Chinese food and happened to be in the area. We've eaten at Tong Soon in the past so when we saw that the original owners have opened a new restaurant we knew we had to come by and try it. Plenty of parking in the plaza and the restaurant itself is cute and cozy with many booths available for seating. The owners were super kind to my family and were able to amen some adjustments for a few dishes to be made vegetarian for my partner. I had the jjampong which I would say is in my top 3 for jjampong in the Bay area. Lots of fresh seafood and the vegetables were cooked just enough to have that wok hei and still retain that delicious crunch. The noodles were springy and had a great chew, and the soup was umami without being overly spicy. It was so good I had to get another bowl to go! My partner had the mapo tofu made without meat, which was also very good. If we are in the area we will definitely be back for another meal. read more

Kiku Restaurant - Jjampong - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Ordered black bean noodles, jjampong and the chicken wings and was disappointed! I've been to tong soon before and remember it being pretty good.. the noodles were too soft and the toppings were soo skimpy. In our black bean noodle, I think we got like 3 shrimp total. The wings weren't crispy at all and breading was falling off. Flavors of all 3 were one toned and no depth. read more

Kiku Restaurant - Ordered four dishes for three people. Portions were great but should have ordered only three dishes. - Chinese Near Me - Cupertino, California

Too bad it is closed! Very authentic Shangdong Korean fusion. Hard to find another one.

We got their chicken wings, sweet and sour pork and cucumbers. Everything was delicious and big portions. Service was friendly and quick. I need to come back to try their other items. read more

I've tried their food about 5 times since their soft opening in January 2025, and each time I visited, their food improved and got better. I've tried 3 lunches, 1 small dinner, and had a family banquet recently, which was great!. We tried their family dinner for 8; each dish was exquisite, and everybody was so satisfied with the quality and taste. I'd recommend this place to all my friends and family. Their service was great, price was right, and quality of food, excellent, starting with their soup, noodles, and all dishes. read more

They replaced Kiku Sushi, which was our favorite sushi place. Every time except once I ordered from Kiku Restaurant through Grubhub (four times), my order got cancelled. No reason given, and when I called the restaurant, they had no explanation. Not going to order from them again. Too bad because they had the best orange chicken I've had. Maybe if you go in person it's better. read more

Really great food, feels like an authentic mom and pop shop. Would recommend. Had the black bean noodles and fried chicken wings for lunch.

We tried out this new restaurant by advice of a family friend. Overall food was very good. My son really enjoyed the salt and pepper fish with fried bits of ginger, scallions and jalapeño. The black bean noodles with seafood and green beans with pork were also tasty. They gave free kimchi on the side, which was excellent and tasted home made. I like the combination of Korean and Chinese flavors. Not very fancy but solid Asian food for every day meals. Unfortunately the location is not good and difficult to see from the main road. Parking is not a problem. read more
