Poke Bowl

“To be perfectly honest, I have been here in 2 years but still felt compelled to leave a review. This was the best poke that I've ever had in my life, way better to Pokeworks which sometimes screws up the rice (like how do you do that?). Best post-workout meal ever was two scoops of salmon and tuna each with a beer and plenty of toppings. It was always fresh with massive portions if you became a regular and tipped well. Even in NYC, the typical poke joint topping selection pales in comparison.“

I recommend eating in for the experience and waitresses have been really nice to help explain different types of fish. Their tea was also really nice too.

The sushi, particularly the Dragon Roll, was fresh and exquisitely prepared.The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall experience, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff was remarkably attentive and knowledgeable, making excellent recommendations and ensuring a memorable dining experience.

She did not even charge us. Also the bartender was a great guy as well. Highly recommend the food, the people working there were a huge bonus. Thank you Stephanie.“

The place is small with very limited seating but they have a pretty elaborate menu. Most impressive is their mobile app which was very easy to follow even I, who struggle with using any kind of app, was pretty comfortable placing an order.I went with their shrimp Shumai that included 8 pieces and lomien + friend chicken, that also came with a side of soup.Both the items very flavorful, the right amount of salt in the lomien and seemed very fresh.Prices are a bit high, but for that area they are appropriate. Good addition to Westport“

“I chose this place based on Yelp reviews and it didn't disappoint. We were in town for a soccer game and after the game the girls were in the mood for some sushi. Parking was tough as there were no spots available on the street, so I parked in the back across the street in the bank lot, luckily it was 8pm and it's not open. Once we walked in we were greeted by staff, and were pleased by the inside decor, as it has a nice authentic Japanese scene. Ordering was easy and kids got the sushi rolls they wanted and those Japanese sodas. I got a a rainbow roll and a Godzilla roll and a bowl of chicken fried rice. The girls got California rolls tuna rolls. The total bill was $125 + tip. So, it's what I expected to pay for good food and service in a nice area. I recommend if you like Sushi or Japanese food.“

“I lived in Japan for several years and, since returning to Stamford, I have been looking for a Japanese restaurant that knows how correctly to prepare and serve Japanese food, sashimi and sushi in particular. After many unsatisfactory experiences at various local spots I found Kiku and my search was over. These folks really know their Japanese cooking. Everything was perfect -- and the price is very reasonable. Now, I eat at Kiku once a week and find 100% satisfaction. They also do a very tasty drunken noodles, but I go there mainly for their raw fish. Also, attentive service. Just great! To find this sort of dining experience in a strip mall in Springdale is amazing.“

Chicken Teriyaki

“Almost hidden at the far end of the food court at the Stamford mall, it doesn't catch your eye immediately but to us regulars it's the definition of Japanese takeout/fast food. The food is good, not heavy or too greasy despite the oil they squirt unto the meat during the grilling process. Still their teriyaki chicken is soft and succulent. Their seasoning and salt are minimal but along with the always fresh veggies the result is healthy and satisfying food even if a little bland. The counter service staff is polite and attentive to your requests but as for atmosphere I'm not sure what to say. There is none. This is the mall after all. They are very fast at getting your meal ready but don't expect them to smile and make small chat. Fast good food. That is the point!“

“During my recent visit to Kashi during Stamford's restaurant week, I had an exceptional experience that stood out in every way. The moment we were seated, the service immediately set a high bar. Our server, whose name we regrettably didn't catch, was the highlight of our evening. He was not only remarkably kind but also infused our dining experience with a delightful sense of humor, making our time there truly enjoyable. His impeccable customer service and attention to detail were second to none, and he undoubtedly deserves recognition, if not a promotion, for his extraordinary efforts.The food was another major highlight of my group’s visit to Kashi. It arrived promptly, which was impressively quick, and the presentation was visually stunning, showcasing the chef's skill and attention to detail. The quality and flavor of the dishes we tried were outstanding, contributing to a memorable dining experience.Opting to dine at Kashi during restaurant week was part of my broader initiative to explore Stamford more thoroughly, as I often find myself dining in the city. This visit surprised me and exceeded my expectations, as there were other places where I was disappointed. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest. The combination of delicious food, exceptional service, and the atmosphere has convinced me to add Kashi to my list of favorite restaurants and to recommend it to anyone looking for a top-quality dining or a date night experience in Stamford.“

“Given the ~$25pp price point, the selection (e.g. sushi, sashimi, hibachi, standard buffet options, etc.), a clean restaurant, attentive service (though it was an empty restaurant when we went for lunch), and the quality being higher than what you would expect if I said "sushi buffet", this earns its above average rating. Not a must stop for any one item as it doesn't excel at any one thing, but it delivers decently on many fronts. It won't convert you if you aren't into trying many items or a buffet person generally, but if you fit that category I'd be surprised if you were disappointed. If you are solely coming for the sushi/sashimi, there are AYCE places that specialize in that area that will be better suited for you (e.g. Sushi House, Sushi Palace, Sushi X2, etc.). The waiter robot is a cool concept and appeared to work well, though it didn't wait on us while we were there.“

“Throughout all of my asian cuisine seeking, this place has left the most phenomenal impact in my journey. The staff treated everyone in my party like family, and it was truly touching to see how heartwarming and dedicated they are to their jobs. Everyone was extremely friendly and welcoming, and it increased my experience exponentially. Subsequently, the food was also absolutely scrumptious. It felt like the chef put in all of his effort into each and every one of the dishes he served as the food was not only flavorful, but also mouthwatering. The service was surprisingly quick, and don’t even get me started with the quality of the food. Each ingredient the chef used seemed exceptionally fresh, which made the food undeniably the best asian food I have ever tasted. This place should certainly be on your devoured list. The general tso’s chicken was my favorite dish. The dish had a combination of the ideal amount of spice, sweetness, and sourness, which made each bite seemed like a dream come true. Each piece of chicken was tender and soft, and the food was served hot and ready to be demolished. All in all, this restaurant touched all of the top criterias that I have for a restaurant and I would give it a 100/5 stars if I could. Come check this restaurant out, because you will 100% not regret it. ???️Kid-friendliness: I had my little cousin, who was about 6 years old, come here and the staff was extremely friendly and supportive by entertaining him while the food was being made. My cousin was laughing the entire time and everyone else did as well. The staff really does deserve to be praised because they are absolutely golden.???“
