KiKu Revolving Sushi — Restaurant in Glendale

We used to frequent kiku before the pandemic and before the partial remodel. I think they may have the owners because there are different people working there. The last two times we dined there we were very disappointed. First, sushi rice is supposed to be seasoned with vinegar and mirin. The first few pieces we had it were just cooked rice balls that was too soggy. Then the few after that were hit and miss, some almost had enough seasoning, others barely, The seasoning had not been properly mixed through., the tuna had a sour taste which means it was starting to go bad. The quality wasn't sushi grade. The salmon instead of tasting sweet was slightly fishy meaning it was old. Third, the lobster roll and the scallop roll were exactly the same. The same imitation crab instead of inexpensive canned crab that they used to use. Fourth, the tuna rolls and rolls in general are now half a narrow roll cut into four pieces. Along with tasteless rice are not worth it. Fifth, when we ordered from service person they didn't seem to forget and we had to remind them two or three times to get what we wanted. We wanted fresh because the ones on the belt we're gone or just didn't look very appetizing. But they will just grab one off the belt and hand it to us. Sixth, grilled eel was very narrow and a bit chewy. The teriyaki basting sauce varied in taste and thickness. The first thin and too sweet. The next one was gloppy and too much hoisin. The third one the right consistency but the flavor was completely off.

We've been going to kiku when it was only $2.50 a plate. They're now $3.20 a plate but the quality has gone way down. Their remodel looks very cheap. Just a repaint and has really darkened the room removing from the lively feeling it once had.

I'm surprised that so many people are still eating there because of the bad service and poor quality of the food at the price they are charging. They are not the only revolving sushi bar in the metro area. And we'd rather drive to the competitor s though it's slightly more expensive, but the quality is far superior with a much better decor...

Kiku Revolving Sushi has become a bit of a personal haven for me. In the several visits I've made, it has consistently delivered a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is simply perfect: relaxed, casual, and buzzing with the excitement of the ever-rotating conveyor belt.

The beauty of Kiku's concept lies in its accessibility. The mesmerizing parade of colorful plates, each boasting a different sushi creation, tempts you to try new things. Gone are the days of staring at a menu, overwhelmed by choices. At Kiku, the food arrives before you, beckoning you to explore the world of sushi with every plate that passes.

The freshness of the ingredients is undeniable. Each bite bursts with flavor, showcasing the quality of the fish and the expertise of the chefs. The variety is astounding, catering to both familiar favorites and adventurous palates. Kiku offers something for everyone.

But the joy of Kiku extends beyond the mere food. The affordability is remarkable. You can indulge in a culinary adventure without breaking the bank, making it a perfect spot for a casual lunch or a fun night out with friends.

The staff deserves special mention. They are incredibly responsive and attentive, ensuring your dining experience is smooth and enjoyable. Always readily available to answer questions or refill your drink, they contribute to the overall positive atmosphere.

In conclusion, I cannot say enough good things about Kiku Revolving Sushi. It ticks all the boxes: delicious food, affordable prices, a thrilling dining experience, and a friendly staff. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun and satisfying sushi adventure. With each visit, Kiku continues to impress and earn my...

This is such a disappointing review to write as we enjoyed coming here many times before. So know you could have a good time (and i hope you do!) Or you could be treated like we were:

We arrived and signed in and took note of the 5 parties on the list before us. At 15 min in they had all been seated and a table opened up (yay!) - then the workers seated another group there who had arrived after us. My husband said they must have had someone else on the list already, no worries. So we sat and continued waiting. Past 30 minutes another table opened and I was so relieved because we were getting super hungry. Right at that moment another family walked in - and they got promptly seated at the table!

So I went over to the list to let the worker know that he missed us, here was our name and party size. He told me no, we weren't allowed to sit at those tables - he'd been skipping us on purpose the entire time!! And I was so confused because we have sat at those tables everytime we've come to this restaurant. I told him I'd been sitting there for over 30 minutes with an infant, why wasn't I allowed to sit and eat at a table? He didn't have a response and wouldn't get a manager for me to talk to when I asked. Then he offered I could sit at the bar... with my infant.

So you could come here and have a good time, or you could come here and be treated like trash and leave confused,...
