I traveled to Japan more than five times, and I tried sushi many times there as well.
Amazing service, nice vibe. But the sushi (and food) quality is just okay compared to the price I paid for.
The sushi has rice that has very great density (not too pressed) so that you can try the fish flavor well. Rice is well seasoned, and the temperature is great. However, I do not think they handle fish well to emphasize its flavor. Let me be clear: the egg sushi was terrible. Did you soak in corn syrup? It was too sweet, so my mouth was numb. Miso soup was saltier than it should be. Takoyaki is pretty good (quite large pieces of octopus).
They provide actual wasabi (not the powdered mix of horse radish).
The paid parking lot is right across the street, but if you are coming here only for sushi, I would not recommend.
Vibe is great for business meeting, date, and family. Quiet and modernized.

This place is amazing! Very authentic and high quality Japanese cuisine. They offer a variety of dishes that I have yet to find anywhere else in the area. Who else has natto, takoyaki, and taiyaki on their menu?? Ingredients were quality. The atmosphere is cozy and the restrooms are pretty high tech compared to other places. The server was very attentive and knowledgeable. The experience was fantastic and this will be my new go-to for authentic cuisine.

I had a very good experience at Kiku. The atmosphere was very nice. Inside the restaurant, it was very quiet and calm. It felt very welcoming and relaxing. I liked the decorations, it felt like a real traditional Japanese place. It was good for having a nice conversation because it was not too loud.
The service was wonderful. The staff was very friendly and kind. They explained the menu to us very patiently because we had some questions. They made us feel comfortable and they did not rush us. The food was amazing and very fresh. We ordered many things. The appetizers were great, especially the fried chicken (Karaage) which was crispy and hot. The beef tataki was very tender and the sauce was delicious. Also the sushi was excellent. The fish was very fresh and high quality. The unagi and tuna were my favorite. Finally, the dessert was also very beautiful. We had the mochi and the fried ice cream with strawberries. It was so good.

Authentic japanese food. Fish is fresh and tasty. Friendly staff. However, during weekend nights, expect to wait a long time as the kitchen can be backed up (from the time we seated until we got our appetizers, we waited 50 minutes).

We’ve been loyal customers here for 35 years and it continues to stand out as the absolute best. The fish and nori are consistently top-notch and incredibly fresh. There’s always uni and toro on hand. The udon broth is wonderfully flavorful as well. There’s really nothing more you could wish for.

Was randomly in Pittsburgh, after a full day of driving I needed to eat and get steps in. That night I walked to Kiku from the Westin it was very cold I couldn’t feel my face by the time I arrived.
The restaurant was not very busy, I was seated right away at the bar. The atmosphere was quiet and serene.
I ordered the Omakase nigiri. It was phenomenal! Well worth the just above zero walk to get there. The waitress was very polite and kind. Would definitely return.

I feel bad leaving this review, but I was so disappointed with a recent meal here. Service was efficient and attentive, very good, no complaints there.
I was there with a party of 8 for lunch, and my check with a 20% tip averaged $38pp. We all ordered lunch specials and soft drinks, nothing else was ordered. If I walked away having spectacular food, I wouldn’t balk at this price point, but the food was mediocre at best, some things were really bad. The sushi is just ok. I’m by no means a sushi connoisseur, but their sushi was no tastier, or more creative than any sushi I’ve had in Pgh. It was on par with Whole Foods sushi. If you told me that they source their fish better, are more sustainable, etc. and that drives the price up, I can believe that and accept that results in a higher price point. However, the teriyaki lunch specials, chicken and “steak” were horrible. My first thought when the plates were dropped was that it looked like a microwave “tv dinner” meal. I’ve never seen a chicken breast so small and the teriyaki sauce had very little flavor. The steak had the appearance and texture of a round steak, about 1/4 inch thick, but cut on the bias to make the piece appear to have come from a thick steak. The portion size was tiny, my average sized 9 year old son ate the entire meal and was still hungry-this meal cost $28 and came with miso soup, white rice, a single sprig of broccoli, a few quarter-sized piece of bell pepper and 3 small cubes of potato. I left there with such buyers remorse after I paid the check.
This place is traditional decorated, very cool atmosphere, clean, and has good service. I just won’t go back when I’ve found so many other options in and around the city for literally a fraction of the price.

Hard to find! Food was excellent! Not a lot of choices which make it easy to choose. Probably lacking some specialty rolls , but it could be my personal opinion.
Lots of ethnic folks dining, which was a “go” for me!

I was quite disappointed with the service at Kiku. It took 45 minutes for my sushi to be served after ordering, and the entire meal lasted about 1.5 hours. The restaurant extremely busy, but obviously it is under staff so the wait was long. While the food quality was decent, the slow service significantly affected the overall dining experience. I hope the management can improve the service speed, as it makes a big difference for customers.

This place seems authentic, but the taste didn’t quite meet my expectations. I feel like I’ve had better quality and value for raw fish at other Japanese restaurants. The sashimi tasted a bit fishy, which was disappointing…
