What User likes about Kiku Sushi:
Really tasty sushi rolls that go beyond the regular cucumber or avocado maki! We all ordered vegan food three rolls (vegan baked spicy scallop, gogo roll, green dragon roll) and one small roll (vegan spicy tuna.) We liked the three specialty rolls equally, they were all very good. We will pass on the vegan spicy tuna next time. Definitely come back here (and finally try each of the roles View all feedback.

What Em M doesn't like about Kiku Sushi:
Worst sushi place I've ever been. Seasonal green salad was raw kale, dressing was a sesame dressing with too much garlic. Order the negi Toro and they didn't have green onions! Then the bill was $47, gave $60 and he just assumed the rest was his tip! SMH View all feedback.

Dedicated vegan menu (front and back with lots of rolls, tedious soup, pasta, appetizers and even chocolate cake.

It's so nice to find vegan sushi that isn't just the standard vegetable roll. The flavors that are pulled off are outstanding. Definitely a must try!

The sushi here was incredibly fresh, generously portioned and absolutely delicious! It is the best sushi I have experienced outside of Japan.

Excellent food, served hot and fast. Tempura, sushi rolls, udon soup, yakitori soba, we loved it all. Small, cozy space and great service, would love to return.

Cute little sushi spot in Berkeley. The food was excellent but the atmosphere was outdated and needs a bit of decorating.
