| - LOL, no idea why I ended up here - vegans and AYCE sushi is either a waste of time, a waste of money or often, both. I brought my sis here to eat for lunch, which was $15 - which isn't too bad for an average sushi buffet. We accidentally ordered mango juice for $3 each, because we thought it was free with the pop.. waste, because it was sweeter than my personality will ever be.
They had a bunch of vegetarian options, but not enough to make AYCE worth it. The avocado was very ripe, exactly the way I liked it. The tofu tempura was not bad as well. Vegetarian udon was MSG soup with one broccoli and a carrot. The mango/cucumber handroll was tasteless - why was the mango not sweet at all? Merp. I didn't find anything in particular that I really enjoyed, but nothing was gross.
As you've probably read, kiku uses ipad ordering, which is efficient and there were minimal mistakes made, only one tofu tempura that was left forgotten. Service was the typical asian service - I think they use ipad ordering to avoid human contact. I had stacked my plate of tofu tempura and veggie spring roll on top of a plate we had already used, and the server ripped out the plate from under the one I was eating on, without saying a word.. which was a bit rude and kind of scary.
I don't think I'd return to kiku, even though the ambience is very pretty. It reminds me of the vampire theme in sims 3 LOL.
