| - Update May 2017: Don't let the 3 star review fool you, under new ownership, this place is arguably one of the very best sushi restaurant in Arizona!
After my favorable review back in 2013, The sushi slowly started getting worse and quality overtime, with dry fish and dried rice at times, until the startling huge improvement with the recent change of ownership. Now this restaurant shows what real sushi lovers enjoy about amazing sushi!!
Prior to the change of ownership, I have not been back here in a few months. I heard from my friend that the restaurant has changed ownership, and that the sushi was much better than before. I decided to try it again two weeks ago, and was amazed at the quality of the fresh sushi and the rice. I decided to come back two more times in the last two weeks. The sushi has been amazingly fresh and amazingly tasty every single time.
The salmon sushi is extremely tasty and creamy, apparently due to a change of suppliers where the new owners use a special salmon that is typically not used in restaurants of this caliber. There are new sushi items such as a sweet shrimp (amaebi), a favorite of mine, and I have posted pictures of me eating half a dozen plates of the delicious dish. Almost every single sushi menu item has been improved to be fresher, tastier, and worthy to spoil your taste buds.
I just returned from a visit to one of my other popular sushi spots in California - KULA revolving sushi, which is legendary with its 2+ hours wait times, and amazing fresh sushi at any price. I visited Kiku Sushi shortly after my KULA sushi visit, and found the Kiku sushi worthy of my time and money.
The owners are true fish connoisseurs, knowing where to source the best fish to serve. As a special treat, I was treated to a taste of real Red Snapper, which blew my taste buds away. I usually avoid Red Snapper, since it is tasteless and flavorless in most sushi joints. The owner gave me 4 pieces of Red Snapper, and oh my, it has instantly become one of my favorite sushi items immediately. There is a rich and sublime taste of the ocean and fish, with the taste echoing in my mouth for a very long time after eating it.
The owner explained that most sushi places substitute Red Snapper with Flounder or other cheaper fish, which is why the sushi is so bland and tasteless. This has opened my eyes to how real Red Snapper should taste...and it impresses me upon the knowledge and connections to the best fish sources that the owners have.
If you have not been back to Kiku sushi in a while, or have never visited, you owe it to yourself to come and taste the sushi. You will be amazed at the change in quality, with some of the tastiest sushi you have ever had. You can thank me later. :)
