Kiku

The hibachi chef was great! Hence the 2 stars instead of a flat 1 star review. That plus there’s parking and the food tasted good going in. The waiters are nowhere to be found. Show up after 10-15 minutes and look confused. Would highly recommend passing. This is just my experience but there is an overabundance of smell once you walk in. The place looks more like a wedding hall than a hibachi establishment and sadly isn’t set up properly to remove the cooking odor. My clothes smell and are currently in a bag waiting for me to do laundry tomorrow. 2/3 of the sushi we tried to order was out. How?! I guess Sunday is either popular or there was a problem with the fish. I don’t know. It’s a first for me. Maybe 1 or 2 types of fish could run out but the bulk? Strange… Would have been nice to find but I’m putting this on my “don’t go” list.

Very special experience. The atmosphere is great. Although the place is very large, you do not feel the other guests despite the place being crowded This is not just a meal but rather a show, a personal chef per table. Also good to come with kids. Steak is excellent 😋

Loved the food and the place. We came here after our long run, just for water, but stayed for food as well! Surprised to find this big restaurant next to a highway!

The legendary Kiku Alpine STILL lives up to its name. Today's visit was a gentle reminder why I prefer the original Alpine over the secondary Paramus. To some, they might be the "same thing," but no, they're not. The atmosphere, the food, and the service are all way better in Alpine, as if the staff are being properly watched over by the responsible manager. Since the early 90s (my first visit), the food's been great, portions are generous, and the shows are always impressive. Kiku had been one of my favorite, and it's now one of my children's favorite places to eat out. Paramus left me with bitter taste several times over the years, including messing up the reservation TWICE and making me wait for over 45 minutes, saying that my table is being setup, until they admitted that they had messed up my reservation. Both times, I ended up going to Alpine and was served right. Weird, because I'm by biased, but things just worked out the way it did.

It’s a nice place. Delicious food. I like to have sushi, sashimi and my kids love hibachi. Friendly service. Yes it’s a little slow due to not enough personal.
