We came here for lunch and the couple that runs this business is so sweet. Unfortunately I could tell the fish was defrosted, and while I know this happens frequently, it actually had a watery taste to it. I would still come back to try other items on the menu however. read more

Kikuhana Sushi - Salmon roll and spicy tuna roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

We have been wanting to try this place and we are so glad we did, we will definitely be back. It seems the restaurant is run by a husband and wife and they are really nice. Spouse had the pork bulgogi and the banchan that come with Korean dishes. They did not have nori (dried seaweed wraps) nor any romaine lettuce so she brought iceberg lettuce, which worked out well. I had the dolsot bibimbop, it come in a really hot, scalding hot bowl of rice, veggies, beef, an over easy egg and some beef. Bibimbop is also served with Bibimbop sauce which was nice and spicy but like a nuclear hot, it was very pleasant. We will definitely return next time we are in this neck if the woods. read more

Kikuhana Sushi - Deep fried dumplings (Yakimandeu) - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

My family loves this restaurant. Lunch time is super busy so we try to come at night. The Louisiana roll is really great and unique. Crawfish, white fish, cream cheese and lit on fire in foil. Teriyaki bento box is huge and has a great variety. Bibimbap is served in a cast iron bowl and is a bland bowl and then you add the kimchi and bibimbap sauce. And the Yaki soba is a good choice too. If you aren't sure what to get, you can't go wrong with the shrimp yaki soba. read more

I ate here last night. A friend who works over at Resort Quest stops in here for lunch regularly and recommended we go here since I was in the mood for sushi. I ordered the special Louisiana roll and the tempura asparagus roll. The asparagus came out first and was very good. I believe it had eel sauce on the plate. I decided to go for the Louisiana roll since it was so highly recommended on Yelp. I'm glad I tried it! Mr. Miyagi rolls the roll in aluminum foil and sets in on fire for a little while so the topped is a bit charred with Cajun spices and a white fish. Inside, I think, is shrimp, and some spicy mayo. So, I recommend Kiku Hana whether you want to try something simple such as the asparagus, or something a little more crazy such as the Louisiana roll. Also, I have to say the service was great. We had a waitress I'd previously had at Kim's Korean. I remember her being kind of surly there, but on this visit to Kiku Hana she was very pleasant. Must have had an attitude adjustment. read more

Kikuhana Sushi - Louisiana roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

I am Japanese and I've heard that the couple that runs this restaurant is Japanese so I totally expected real Japanese food. But it turned out they are Korean. We had some sushi and one of their bento, Sushi was okay, Bento was a little disappointing. Sushi I ordered was a little different from what I eat in Japan but it was still good. Pork Katsu was really thin and dry...Yakisoba (noodle) which is supposed to be savory was sweet for some reason. Edamame in the bento had no flavor because they just boiled it in water then put salt on it, when they should boil it in water with a lot of salt and sprinkle some salt on it. Over all, their food isn't bad but is not real Japanese food. 日本人が経営してるとレビューにあったので、行ってみましたが、韓国人のご夫婦が経営されていました。太巻きと鉄火巻き、トンカツ弁当を注文しましたが、太巻きは美味しかったですが中にキャベツが入っていたりと少し日本の物とは違いました。鉄火巻きはそこそこです。トンカツ弁当はトンカツがかなり薄めでパサパサしていてあまりオススメできません。焼きそばも何故か甘く、韓国風なのかな？という感じでした。 アメリカの寿司屋としてはありがちな感じで、不味くはないですが特段オススメとも言い切れない感じのレストランです。しばらく日本の本物のお寿司を食べておらずアメリカのお寿司に慣れているのもあるので、そこそこと感じましたが日本のクオリティーに慣れている方だと美味しくないと感じるかもしれません。 read more

Kikuhana Sushi - Their chicken teriyaki bento box - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

I tried the chicken yaki soba and a California roll. The yaki soba was a decent portion, but definitely lacked flavor. I had to add quite a bit of soy sauce just to give it flavor. The California roll was not good. It was loaded with rice and very little filling. Service was very slow. At $23 for one person, this place is WAY overpriced, especially for what I received. read more

Definitely the Best rolls in town, this place it's amazing, excellent service, thank you so much

I went in during non peek hours to indulge in some sushi. I was the only person in the restaurant but the service was very slow. The waitress wasn't rude, but she certainly wasn't friendly. I got my sushi about 35 minutes after placing the order, and it was fine. Nothing mind blowing. Honestly it was a little over priced. Overall my experience was just so so, I probably won't go back again. read more

Came in today for dinner and just...Wow! The food was honestly super good, fresh and hot. I got the chicken katsu dinner bento box and everything came out looking and tasting amazing and on top of that I got the local special roll called, The badass roll. It's a fully cooked roll that's cooked with a blowtorch and wrapped in foil and honestly it is very much of what its name entails..badass and it has topped to my favorite sushi roll ever...So I would definitely recommend at least trying it once in your lifetime. The waitress working that night was very nice and polite and had let me eat my meal without being overbearing and did a great job and was very attentive to my drinks and anything else needed. Overall I would extremely recommend this place, the prices are very fair for the delicious food and service is great and best of all the food is amazing. read more

Clearly, there is a dearth of good Japanese restaurants around town. This one, like all the others, are run by Koreans, which means I will be staying away from the sushi. Their lunch menu was okay. I got the galbi bento box. It was supposed to come with gyozas and I had to ask for mine, twice. Inside it's sort of drab and depressing. All of that notwithstanding, someone I know swears by their Mr. Miyagi roll. Doesn't that have something to do with shaving off pubic hair in a Chris Brown song? Anyway, she ordered some to share but I didn't try it. So maybe check that out. read more

The good: Good, authentic sushi. The Korean owner knows what he's doing. Place actually looks like a real Japanese restaurant, not the tacky stuff you see at Okinawa's. They also have good imported sake and Japanese beer. The bad: It's expensive. It's one of the most expensive sushi restaurants in Fort walton. I wouldn't say the price is worth it, but if you want to have "real" japanese sushi, like it is in Japan, this is the place to go. It's also always empty and kind creepy. We went at 8 and the whole place was super quiet. The Ugly: Waitstaff is rude and slow. It's clearly run by a family and they're clearly not stressing customer service. The gentlemen behind the sushi bar was very intimidating and made it a little hard to eat. They also fly in their fish from a Georgian Japanese fish market, so I don't know how fresh that is. read more

I ordered the Chicken Bulgogi dinner bento box along with the Eel (Unagi) Nigiri and both were quite good; however, it did take quite a long time just to have the food brought out even though there was only one other table that had ordered anything. Aside from that, the waitress was nice and the aroma of the place was fantastic. read more

Came here for a bento box. It was delicious! And so much food I couldn't finish everything. The lunch menu (when my family came to eat) is extremely reasonably priced. My box came with teriyaki chicken (homemade teriyaki sauce- sooo yummy and sweet), rice, salad, four California rolls, and two fried dumplings. Everything tasted fresh, warm, and homemade. Service was fast and friendly. I was honestly surprised that there wasn't many people in at the lunch hour. Probably because there's lots of poor reviews (but I noticed they were all very old, so I wanted to give this place a try anyways). The only slight downside is that kids may not like this place if they don't love Asian food. There isn't an American menu of side items like typical takeout places. But we ordered our daughter a side of cheese sticks and she was thrilled. Everyone left full and completely satisfied. We will absolutely be back! read more

The Sashimi Road (Continued): What a pleasant surprise for a sashimi lunch. I had read about this place and wanted to try it for one of my lunch outings. It is located in the old Walmart Shopping Center in Fort Walton. I didn't know that, but after combing the area, I finally spied it in the corner. Because it is was an old store in a shopping plaza, you won't be blown away with the atmosphere. It is nice and quaint, but nothing to write home about. The staff is excellent! The sushi chef and the waitresses are kind, attending, and friendly. Like many small restaurants, you may have to wait a little if the staff gets busy because more customers arrived that they predicted. The Sashimi was very good. I try and order mostly the same types of Sashimi so I can draw a good comparison. The squid, the escolar, and the roe were very good. The octopus which is cooked was just a tad tough. Please note that I mention "Escolar" instead of "White Tuna". There appears to be some concern in the Sushi/Sashimi world that many places will serve you "Escolar" and call it "White Tuna". I think I this may have occurred with me at other restaurants, but not here. When I asked for White Tuna, the Sushi Chef said we don't have White Tuna, but we do have Escolar. This statement speaks to the integrity and quality of this establishment. The Sushi Chef wants to please you and will not tell you something just to make a dime. He is a true Chef with the customer's needs placed first. When I asked for Salmon Roe, he told me he didn't have any cucumber to place the roe on to make it easier to eat and asked if it was alright to place it on the plate. I asked about a lemon slice and he replied that lemon can rob the roe of it's true taste and would not recommend doing it. Again, it was about the customer. The portions, presentation, and knife skills were excellent. AND, I was pleasantly surprised about the cost. Very reasonable for Sashimi. Atmosphere =3 Location = 3 Old shopping Center Service = 4 Quality = 4 Knife Skills = 4 Cost = 4 Less expensive that average As I was leaving the chef asked if I would be there tomorrow. I definitely would if I wasn't going out of town. * You may ask why I write about Sashimi: If your Sashimi is good, so will your sushi because it is the basis for sushi and other dishes. read more

Kikuhana Sushi - Best shrimp fried rice I have had in a long time!!!! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Fort Walton Beach, Florida

While I can't vouch for the sushi ( I'm not a fan ), their menu items are good. The teriyaki and katsu in the bento box are pretty good. The focus seems to be on the sushi bar, as that's where the nicer decor is, but the dining room isn't bad either. My wife is not a fan of non-hibachi style items, but she really enjoyed their food. Odd hours though. read more

Absolutely the worst place to get sushi! Portions were super small for the price. I've been eating sushi for over 10 yrs and this place was the worst. I took six beginners sushi eaters to this restaurant. I ordered some basic rolls and sushi to start. Then I ordered some signature rolls. Sushi was served with small portions and being along the coast you would think they were fresh.... Not the case. Basic rolls were also small but bland. Signature rolls, I asked for the sushi Chef's best. I received a roll in aluminum foil, soggy and gross. I told the waitress I did not want that thing and wanted to replace the roll. She brought me another roll .... a basic Philadelphia roll with tuna on top and still made me pay for the aluminum foil thing. Chef said if we didn't play for that one roll they would let the base know, he basically threaten us! read more

I've had mixed experiences with the restaurant, but the constants are the food takes forever but it is really good. The favorites to order are the fried rice and the Louisiana roll, amazing. The wait staff can be pretty rude and clueless. They don't really refill your glass while your waiting, which sucks because it takes a while to recieve food. I've also had incidents where they just didn't hear something I've ordered, and started arguing with me when I kept asking for it. However everything may change do to the recent change of ownership and chef. read more

A suprising delight to find!!! The menu selection was large and the fish very fresh. The taste was amazing as the chef did things that I had not seen in more than 30-40 previous sushi restaurants around the country. Including the green onions under the nigiri sushi was particularly ingenious. He also insisted on preparing a special role for me and I am VERY happy he did. The role was prepared with a fish I had never had and then torched golden. It was then wrapped in tin foil and cooked/steamed over a plate of burning alcohol (Quite the sight)! The taste was absolutely delicious, smokey barbequey with a slight taste of crawfish and spicy mayo. Probably one of the most delicious roles I have had. I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant for a fantastic meal. Price was a little high a first glance but for the quality and taste was a bargain! read more
