Kiku Asian Bistro 163 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11217

"not sure if this is affiliated with all the other kiku' s in the neighborhood, but this place was bustling with a bunch of people on a Friday night. night mostly people who are laid back and cozy and overall food tastes great and presentation wise could be better, but it was a good place to have some nice tasty noms. we had the salmon avocado, that you'll avocado, and the crunchy spicy tuna roll which were all very good, but the crunchy was probably the best in terms of flavor and texture. then we had the chicken udon and the broth was lacking that umami flavor, but the noodles were very bouncy and nice and portion size was great. we had some green teas that were bagged green teeth. oh yeah! kani salad can't go wrong with that. overall not bad"

"The staff are nice and my rating for the restaurant is this: Gyoza: 5/5, it comes at the perfect heat and has the perfect crisp. In addition the sauce tastes amazing. Salmon: 5/5 even though it looks bad it tastes amazing but it is very greasy and fatty Tuna: 3.5/5 it looks pale and is to thick and chunky. Rice 5/5 Eel: 4.5/5 delicious but very chunky Yellow tale: 5/5 but chunky White tuna: 5/5 tastes delicious and is charred at the top, definitely the highlight of the meal Scallop: 4/5 tastes good but is too chunky Tempura ice cream: 4.5/5 Service 4/5"

"Food is so delicious, the atmosphere relaxed, modern restaurant."

"Had some ramen here and it was really good, the broth was very flavorful and the noodles were tasty as well. The staff here are super nice."

"Found this place as we were looking for somewhere to sit down and eat dinner after 10. Staff was super nice. Food was pretty good. Got a few pieces of sashimi, baked bass roll, sweet potato roll. The sushi was pretty much what you expect for the price. Also ordered the Thai basil tofu which was ok. Liked the crispy ness of the tofu and the heat but there was zero Thai flavors."
