KIKI JAPANESE RESTAURANT

There are many amazing sushi spots in San Francisco at this price point with better fish and craftsmanship!

Really good Happy Hour

Is i was able to rate Zero Stars i would.... spicy tuna roll looked like dog puke died red and rolled in rice... the udon was sooooo rubbery..... waitresses were great though...

I typically never like to leave a negative review but, I must when I end up asking for a to go box when, I can't even make it through half of a plate of one of my most favorite type of foods.
I ❤️❤️❤️ Japanese food and sashimi. I'm assuming that the owner's might not be Japanese, or maybe they are cutting corners with their food as,
the rice definitely wasn't sushi rice (pretty sure it was jasmine rice). That one, already had me worried. The rice was dry, grainy and falling apart in the nigiri. The sashimi wasn't cut right, it was thin, tough, dry, flavorless, had me worried that it might not be sushi grade. Also, stringy with tendons. Everything was overly salty. The wasabi paste was dried out, gummy and very pasty. Also, pretty sure the soy sauce isn't Kikkoman. Nothing tasted right. I'm both fortunately as well as unfortunately a super taster so, I have a very sensitive palette. Ouch, was my experience. The service was pretty much very impersonal & mediocre. It wasn't bad. I would have asked my server, had she showed her face, about the rice, etc.... she popped my dish down & didn't re appear for several minutes. Nothing was cooked right or presented in a traditional Japanese fashion. All of the textures were wrong as well as the flavors. The eel was chewy, not cooked right, bad texture and with a basic, bottled teriyaki sauce. The avocados were overly ripe, too. Miso soup, terrible and overly salted. Nothing chopped up as would be like in a traditional Japanese restaurant. Edamame, not cooked right and overly salted as well. Definitely, NEVER going back. Definitely not worth the $28 for lunch. Boo in regards to the sushi. Thumbs down ???? on the sashimi, rice, miso soup and eel. Sorry for the bad review. Just have to be honest.

Appetizers and rolls were delicious, everything reasonably priced, quick friendly service, planning to come back soon to try more from the menu
