Kikuchi

Went there Saturday great quality food! Fish was amazing and rice too! Lots of native people shows how good it is... And you get what you pay for, ther is minimum charge of 25 but if your looking to have a cheap meal sushi would not be your first choice.... Loved it definitely going back!

Setting the record straight - Although I fear increased traffic to Kikuchi Restaurant after my review, I do believe it is important that I set the record straight - Kikuchi Restaurant is one of the finest Japanese restaurants in London or anywhere else in the World including Japan. The quality and freshness of their sushi and sashimi is supreme and his other menu items are truly superb and cooked with authentic flavors and ingredients. Sushi or non-sushi, the food is incredible and I've had some of the best Japanese food I have ever had at Kikuchi Restaurant. This is an authentic Japanese restaurant run by a true Japanese master Chef and as for service, it is typical Japanese service and there is a language barrier so one must be clear, careful, patient and understanding. One can eat well on less than 10 pounds so that is why there is a 25 pound per person minimum. If you want a bargain, go to a take away, if you want haute Japanese cuisine, go to Kikuchi. You need to be clear as to what you want and special requests are always cleared through Chef Kikuchi. Some items may be out and the server's English may not be good enough to explain. I speak Japanese fluently and have had Japanese food all over the World including many years in Japan and I can say that people who want fine dining at an authentic Japanese Restaurant in London must go to Kikuchi Restaurant. I was not disappointed and neither will you.

Simply excellent, the best sushi in town when it comes to quality and freshness! The chef, who is also the owner, personally goes to the fish market every morning to resupply. The menu traditional Japanese, with many other dishes in addition to sushi.

I had a totally nightmare experience with Kikuchi and my husband and I decided not to enter the restaurant. Firstly, once my husband and I entered the door, we were immediately told that all the tables are fully booked and only two places at the counter for 1hr and 30min. Obviously, there was several tables which didn't put the 'reserved' signs and no single customer was there. Still, when we said yes, the next question was the minimum charge is £25 per person. It is a shame that we went there only because my Japanese colleagues like its Japanese traditional pub-like atmosphere. If you don't want to get dissappointed even before reading the menu, you better avoid visiting the Kikuchi in the first place. Worst experience I have ever had in London restaurant.
