Ziki Japanese Restaurant

I found some positive reviews about this place on reddit so I decided to give it a try. I'm traveling from out of town and have dined at many different Japanese restaurants across the country. This is a family operated business. The service is exemplary. The menu is simple yet diverse. There is something here for everyone and everything on the menu is best in its class. If I ever find myself in the area again I will go out of my way to dine here. A+ service. A+ atmosphere. A+ food. We went overboard with three appetizers three entrees and two desserts for two people and still didn't break $100. This place offers an extremely high value at any price. This type of quality usually cost at least 50% more. I wish every Japanese restaurant across America could learn from Ziki. They really do set the standard here.

The food was good and very hot when I received it. The restaurant itself had a cute charm to it. The prices were reasonable. I went for lunch and there was only one other table of customers so it was pretty empty which was nice. For appetizers, we ordered: shrimp tempura and eel with avocado roll. For the entrees, we had beef ramon with creamy pork bone soup and hibachi new york strip. The steak was a little overcooked and chewy, but overall enjoyable. The ramen was a good portion size and the broth was rich and flavorful. The eel was good, but nothing that stuck out as different from any of eel roll from another restaurant. I also ordered a Japanese soda which was fun to drink with the glass marble inside. There were only 2 flavors available but the orange was good. There isn't much seating so during busy times I anticipate longer wait times. There was plenty of parking in a convenient location.

Food is always so good and so fresh! 10 out of 10 recommend if you’re looking for good sushi in the area!

An amazing sushi place with great service. We went there for lunch given the high ratings of this place. We were not disappointed. The ambience is nice, although, I think they had incense stick light up which caused a minor smokiness in the air. The best part about their sushi is their batter for frying. We ordered 3 different rolls and all of them had some element of frying involved. Things were so crunchy that I absolutely loved it!! The service was very quick but it could be because there weren't many people there as it was a weekday. Their gypzas are also lovely. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because there was too much oil after the frying, especially in the gyozas.

Very nice little restaurant. We got there before 6 and it seemed like they didn't have much business but shortly after the place started filling up. Their sushi is fantastic. Some of the better I've had for the kalamazoo area. Pricing is also far better than what I expected. Service was prompt and kind. We will for sure be back. My adult children really enjoyed their bubble/bobba tea. My daughter even said she'd come back just for the tea.
