Kikuya Japanese Restaurant — Restaurant in Stuttgart

Not a good sushi place.

My partner and I wanted to try this out after walking past the restaurant and reading the founding story, thinking it would be authentic. It's not. It's also not good.

Food: Karaage - 3/10 bland, not crunchy, batter tasted very soft, chicken was dry Sushi - 3/10 they forgot to season the rice. The sushi rice did not have vinegar in it and the roles were very similar and overpriced for the fish quality Drink - 1/10 Ginger Fizz. I had to return mine since it tasted like sugar water & still after making another one it was not drinkable

Service: not unfriendly but not welcoming, we felt more like a nuisance. One guy barely spoke German, he could've spoken English to us instead of not saying anything at all. Not once did anyone ask us how the food or drinks were, even after we left half the plate uneaten.

Atmosphere: lights are too bright, they were still playing Christmas music. We could hear Chinese staff arguing in the kitchen. Restrooms were dirty and stinky.

We paid 87,70€ for it and will...

Service Pretty fast and courteous. Was surprised the meal came out as fast as it did. Maybe 5 minutes after ordering it was brought to the table.

Food I ordered the Beef Ramen and Parmeasran tuna sushi with a Tokyo Mule. The ramen was pretty good and the fried onions were very nice to a add a bit of crunch. A little spicy but nothing out of control. The only issue was it seemed like there should be more noodles/ramen in the dish. The sushi was creamy and paired very well with the ramen.  There was plenty of ginger, cucumber and mint in everything and I loved it.

Recommendation One of the better Ramen places I have been to in awhile with delicious food and ridiculously fast service. If you are in the area it is definitely a...

We ordered 2 ramens both of which were served lukewarm, not hot. The eggs in the ramen were cold and obviously from a refrigerator! One of the eggs even tasted a bit sour, and eggs are not supposed to taste sour...

The service is terrible! We were the only customers, so one could expect, that the service would pay at least a little attention to us. Instead of that the service lady was on her phone and when we asked her to come, she was blatantly rude. Please fire the lady that was working on 29.06.2024 at 15:00

Not coming here again and I would recommend you to go to another Japanese restaurant as well. But the atmosphere outside is nice thanks to the Calwer Street and good weather. But that's the only good thing...
