We had such a great experience at Kiku! I took my niece for hibachi and she had a blast. She was a little scared when the fire flared up, but she couldn’t stop smiling and ended up loving every minute of it. The chef was entertaining, the food was delicious, and the whole atmosphere made it a fun, memorable night. We’ll definitely be back!

I’m really, really sad to write this review. Growing up, this was THE place to go. Every birthday, celebration, etc. It was always spectacular. Last time I went was probably write before COVID when I was 20. I went this past week for Valentines Day and I unfortunately will never be going again.
First off, when I called to make a reservation, the person on the phone was extremely rude. No hello, just a “Kiku Alpine”. When I asked for a reservation, they took my info and said “ok” and hung up. No confirmation, no “thanks” or “have a nice day”. When I arrived for our reservation it was exactly the same. No smiles or warm service.
The waitress was extremely impersonal. No smile. No “How are you?” Just came up and said “what do you want to drink?”. Drinks took forever to come, water never came even though we asked, and she dropped glass onto our grill that shattered and they never moved us to a new table.
Finally, the food. Chef was good! Talented and kind, but wasn’t as engaging as the other chefs I have had at Kiku. The food was more bland and smaller portions than the previous times I had been there. For a 100+ bill for two people, I was just severely disappointed. This place used to be an excellent experience! Feels like they have lost their way now.

I’ve been going there for probably 30 years. The food is always great. The service has always been an issue. After tonight I won’t be going back. We were stalked the entire meal by Ramen the GM. There were empty tables during my entire meal. He basically told us to finish our drinks at the bar 5 minutes after they sang happy birthday at our table. The service was off tonight. Our soup didn’t come out until the chef was already putting food on our dishes. The drinks were very slow. After our meal we were confronted just after drinks were brought to our table that we ordered while eating. Very rude. I always bring a full table of people and tip everyone well. There are plenty of other hibachi places out there, time to go back to mt Fuji. I’m sure they will appreciate people eating and drinking and having a good time.

1 Micheline star.
They should hire more inviting / friendly receptionist. Receptionist came up to me while I walked in and ask if I want to eat certain dish without directing me to my table. I’ve never in my life ask that question at any restaurant:) Lingerling Clorox odor but taste of their cod broth soup over ride all above complains. It’s that good^^

Sat at 6:45 and waited for nearly 40 minutes. After repeated inquiries we finally got salad and soup at 8:05. It’s now 9:24 and they just came to drop off a check. I can understand being short staffed or having a new server, but based on other reviews the service is a serious issue. Thankfully our chef and the food was tremendous!!! Be patient and prepared for a rocky start. Shout out to Chef Mike for saving the evening!!!

The service here was absolutely unacceptable. We waited over an hour without receiving our food, with zero explanation or updates from the staff. We were literally left sitting there doing nothing. To make matters worse, the person claiming to be the manager was extremely rude and unprofessional, showing no interest in resolving the issue or even offering a basic apology. This was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had, and I will never be coming back.

My co-workers took me here for my birthday a while back and I forgot to do a review!
We all thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience and the ambiance, decor, drinks and food were great!

The hibachi chef was great! Hence the 2 stars instead of a flat 1 star review. That plus there’s parking and the food tasted good going in.
The waiters are nowhere to be found. Show up after 10-15 minutes and look confused.
Would highly recommend passing. This is just my experience but there is an overabundance of smell once you walk in. The place looks more like a wedding hall than a hibachi establishment and sadly isn’t set up properly to remove the cooking odor. My clothes smell and are currently in a bag waiting for me to do laundry tomorrow.
2/3 of the sushi we tried to order was out. How?! I guess Sunday is either popular or there was a problem with the fish. I don’t know. It’s a first for me. Maybe 1 or 2 types of fish could run out but the bulk? Strange…
Would have been nice to find but I’m putting this on my “don’t go” list.

The absolute worst dining experience of my life. Zero stars if I could give it. My family and I went to Kiku in Alpine, NJ looking for a fun hibachi dinner, and instead, we got a lesson in how not to run a restaurant.
We were quoted a wait time that turned into an inexcusable, sanity-testing two-hour marathon. Every 10 minutes—like clockwork—a staff member would promise our table was just about ready. It was a complete farce and a masterclass in disorganization. The waiting area was a chaotic mess, with no clear system or communication, just repeated empty promises.
When they finally, finally, called our name, the disaster continued. They tried to seat our party at a broken hibachi table! It took another argument and delay to get us to an actual, usable spot. But the service, or total lack thereof, was the real insult.
After being seated, it took an additional 30 minutes for someone to even approach the table to take our drink order. And when they did, they managed to mess it up completely. The final, horrifying straw was when they actually handed an alcoholic beverage to one of my underage children. This is not just bad service; it’s a serious and dangerous lapse in judgment.
Avoid this place at all costs. Waiting two hours, being lied to repeatedly, dealing with broken equipment, and then receiving unsafe and abysmal service is simply not worth anyone’s time or money.
Reservation was at 6 it’s now 8:45 and we still haven’t even ordered dinner !!!
