Kiku Restaurant

Expensive 1 for poor quality of food and lack of flavor. You get white rice with hibachi meal, unless you upgrade for 5.99 to get fried rice. I spent 40$ and honestly the food and chef was subpar. He skipped over throwing food into mout, doing tricks, and display peeing on fire -> he simply used a lighter. Hibachi chef overcooked chicken to the point where it was hard and rubbery and burnt noodles. He also burned the 3 shrimp you got. We went around 7:30pm and there was a little wait despite having a reservation. Waiter came around once to give water/drinks but didnt ask if we needed more drinks. My worst experience at a hibachi and I've been to many. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. Go somewhere else for hibachi.

The food was not as spectacular as their prices. The two dipping sauces for dinner tasted basicly the same - bland and watery. The food was on par with just about any other Hibachi. The Chef kept singing (less enjoyable than even the food) or had a rambling, undiscernible conversation with himself. Seven people for my granddaughters' birthday and all were shock at the prices of the food and lack of the food's quality. Before the days of $50 hamburgers we took a niece to a fine NYC restaurant only to find that she only wanted a hamburger!! Which the restaurant did not serve. My quick thinking wife ask if the had a meat grinder, which they did. So, she ordered a steak and asked them to grind it up, make a patty, and grill it ... voila, hamburger! That was the first "most expensive" hamburger in NYC and it appears that the idea caught on. The point? Expensive food is not unheard of in our dining life. An expensive, inattentively constructed, meal which is lacking any dimension in flavor leaves us not chomping at the bit to returning to this eating establishment. For example: Steak / Lobster Served with shrimp appetizer, soup, salad and vegetable fried rice or chicken fried rice. $48. Several combos were $50, with one at $58.
