The lunch buffet was very good. The food was not over seasoned and was delicous. The layout was very nice, self serve coffee was a big plus with desert. Has everything all under $ 20 bucks, the staff was busy keeping buffet clean and stocked. I will be back!

I enjoyed the Hibachi here. The food and entertainment were good. We did not only get the standard tricks but magic tricks to complete with comedy show. The soup, salad, and noodles were great. The fried rice left something to be desired but the chicken, steak, and shrimp were standard fair of good Hibachi.

I love sushi, and I went here with high hopes because it was my first time trying a sushi buffet. It was a Saturday night and the restaurant was not as busy as I would hope for a place rated 3 – 4 stars.
Anyhow, the server came and couldn’t answer our questions about what was in their weird sushi combinations. We ordered and it didn’t take too long for our food to be ready. When it was brought to us, the server couldn’t see the difference in the tempura roll and a baked salmon roll when it was quite clear.
My friend ordered the baked salmon roll and when she bit into it, she tasted crab. Nowhere on the menu did it say that that roll had crab in it. When we asked the server, she looked around sheepishly and just apologized.
Overall, the food was alright and I probably won’t be going back.

There’s nothing I can really add that others haven’t said. The three-​star rating this place gets is pretty accurate. The lunch buffet is pretty mediocre. I haven’t tried it off-​hours. I sincerely doubt that I ever will though.

As luck would have it, our dinner reservation for 7 was given to another 7 top (with no reservation). An apparent miscommunication with the host left us sitting in the waiting area for the next 10 – 15 minutes. The manager was very prompt and offered to cover several appetizers or give us a gift card to come back another time. We opted to stay but notified the manager that we would be in a time crunch with a movie to follow our meal. With a short cook staff, he waited on us and had the free apps, salad and soup all brought out while the chef finished cooking and began prepping for our meal. The food was great and on our way out, he gave us a gift card too.

Their buffet is delicious and the conveyor belt is an experience that is hard to find in Atlanta. I love this sushi restaurants since it is very affordable, yet their quality and service isn’t compromised. Definitely a great place for unique experience and good food to enjoy for any occasion!

I give this restaurant two stars but if you are happy with buffet quality sushi then you may like it better. The nigiri was so rice heavy and the fish was sliced so thin the overwhelming taste was rice, which is not how it should be. Most rolls were fried, but that may be due to the clientele’s taste. Not my style. Tuna was a floresent pink, not natural looking at all.
Service was good. If your standards for sushi are low and you want to fill up on cheap sushi, then this is your place.

My husband and I are from out of town. We come to Alpharetta about once or twice a year to visit family.
Since we discovered Kiku three years ago, it has become one of our «go-​to» restaurants. The first time we visited they wowed us. The food was amazing, the sushi was delicious and since then we’ve been coming back.
On this las visit however, it was not the same. We visited on a Sunday and got the lunch buffet, which is $ 18 plus drinks. The food at the buffet table was warm at best. The sushi was «meh». The service was however very good. Our server was kind, friendly and knowledgeable about the food.
I’m not sure if we’ll keep coming back as often.

Sushi was ok not very fresh tasting but the hot bar with steak and typical asian foods was very good!

Food was sub-​par and overpriced. Horrible ambiance (the music was like this random k-​pop, it was hot and sushi was warm). Do not ever go here and waste your time or money.

Good food. We had never been here before and love Japanese. If is slightly different than the others in the area. They service noodles in addition to the fried rice and the other difference was their yummy yummy sauce was very tart and much different than others, but as good as many others, however their salad dressing was the best I have had… the ginger dressing was like a creamy dressing.
We will be back! Food taste was good, and we were seating fast.

Love their sushi portion to the rice.
Love their terryaki beef (tastes like wine marinated tender ribeye steak.)
Just for above 2 items is well worth 13.99 buffet lunch.
But their other side items and rolls are delicious too.

Tonight was my first time to this restaurant & I really enjoyed it. Sat down for Hibachi with a small group. The staff were all very friendly & the chef was engaging with good humour.
I enjoy watching the food being prepared right in front of you. The fillet mignon with chicken was a really yummy dish & the serving size is substantial… Enough left over for lunch tomorrow.
The price for dinner is quite reasonable & the variety of menu options is appetising.
I live nearby & will certainly be back soon.

Y’all I am pissed! They got rid of the conveyor belt in here. Okay, so I didn’t really care that much about the conveyor belt… but what I did like was 30 to 50% off sushi on Tuesday, Wednesday, & Thursday nights. Like really like. Like the only reason we come here is because of that. Their sushi is still good and their service is still good (hence the two stars and not one,) but there are so many sushi places in Atlanta and with them taking away the half price nights… it just really makes it not so worthwhile anymore. We won’t be returning for a very long time (and it’s because we’re cheap).

My wife and I had lunch here, and it was much better than I had expected from a buffet. I’m not a huge fan of Japanese food, but thankfully there was a fair amount of Korean food too. The wait staff was kind and kept our glasses full, which is about all one can expect of a buffet. It appears that they have a hibachi setup for dinner, which I can only imagine is the same standard hibachi you get anywhere. For the lunch, though, we will definitely be going back from time to time. The beef and assorted kimbap are worth it.

This was my first time I’ve had a Sushi buffet. The restaurant was packed they had to seat us at a hibachi table.
I thought the buffet selection was very diverse because it included so much more than sushi. There was a salad bar, miso soup, sesame chicken, noodles, nigiri, and more. For the sushi, I wish they had descriptions by all the rolls because I had no idea what I was eating. Everything tasted fresh and the rolls had great flavors and textures.
For lunch, I felt like the price was a little steep.

My friends love this place, and I can see why. The sushi is good. And the service is fast & friendly.
There’s something weirdly comforting about sitting around a teppan with your friends and ordering sushi. But first, a rather typical salad with ginger dressing arrived. The ginger dressing was creamy and sweet, and the remainder made for a surprisingly good dipping sauce for some of our maki.
The sushi itself came out quickly. And it was delicious. They do some traditional things here, but we stuck with the more «innovative» maki. There is plenty to choose from. It was difficult to not go completely bonkers and order the entire menu. But we went bonkers anyway, ordering the teppanyaki on top of a boatload of sushi.
The chef was trying to be funny. And I hope he loves his job. He was quite the entertainer. But I have to ask, at what point does the whole performance aspect become so predictable that you tire of it and just wish they’d get on with the cooking? How many times does the chef need to flip a shrimp tail into his shirt pocket, or catch an egg in his hat, or do the whole onion volcano-​choo-​choo thing? I wanted to say to the fellow: «I love you man, just get on with the cooking.»
But overall, we had a good time. I’d happily rejoin my friends there. Holler if you’re coming with.

I drove all the way down here to this location of KiKu on a thursday night because I heard this place is one of the very very few that have a Conveyor belt of Sushi in Georgia. So I deff. need to try this place out! :D
This Kiku was running a special on the day that I dined in. I believed it was all half off sushi that night and so even if i ate alot of different type of sushi, for the two of us that night, it was only 40 $ and that was like more than 10+ plate of sushi. But granted, each plate only have like two to four sushi on them. But still, that is very good when it comes to comparing prices.
So because of the prices and the quality, I am giving this place three stars. In my opinion the sushi here is good, but nothing spectacular. It didn’t wow me, so it didn’t really leave any impression. I just remember stuffing a lot of California inspired sushi. And a lot of different variation.
So Overall, I don’t think i will take the drive (around 45 min away from home for me) to try this place again. Even if the price is good. The sushi just didnt wow me. But it’s a okay though. So give them a try!

Not impressed. Stopped by for lunch, only to be seated and handed my lunch buffet bill immediately. Apparently that’s all you can order over lunch? Maybe I am naïve.
Sushi was just average, nothing to write home about. Salad bar was good, they have a dessert bar and entrée type bar with sesame chicken, etc.
Sign at the table saying it is a .$ 50 charge for every single serving of sushi rice that is left on your plate — as in not eaten. Never seen a surcharge for food you don’t eat.
Waiter was subpar.
Won’t head back here. Much better choices in this area.

Very interesting conveyer belt food dispenser. Nice fresh product and lots of variety. Great place to break into sushi or sashimi or Japanese cooking. I had the seaweed salad, and a little salmon sushi plate to start. Then the 20 piece sashimi platter @ 29 bucks I hope the picture comes out. The most impressive sashimi platter presentation I ever had.
