I
preface
this
review
by
saying
we
initially
planned
on
going
to
Kiku
Sushi
located
in
Monrovia.
But
we
decided
to
just
stick
a
little
closer
to
home.
Item's
ordered:
The
gf
quickly
decided
she
wanted
the
Deluxe
Chirashi
(of
course)
&
I
thought
I'd
be
getting
one
of
those
combo
bentos
where
you
can
select
two
items
like
most
sushi
places
have.
Unfortunately,
that
option
is
available
only
at
lunch
so
I
just
got
the
Teriyaki
Chicken
dinner.
Taste:
First
up
as
usual
was
the
miso
soups
&
salads.
The
miso
soup
was
fine,
it's
pretty
much
the
same
at
these
types
of
places.
I
do
like
the
addition
of
the
fried
tofu
which
is
not
common
in
miso
soup.
Salads
were
quite
good
&
I
enjoyed
the
dressing
which
tasted
like
a
miso
creamy
ginger
flavor.
The
addition
of
crispy
wontons
kinda
serving
as
croutons
worked
out
well.
Honestly
as
soon
as
they
brought
over
the
gf's
Deluxe
Chirashi
my
first
thought
was
it
was
probably
the
smallest
version
I've
seen
of
it
compared
to
other
places.
She
really
liked
it
though
&
very
much
enjoyed
how
they
topped
it
with
uni.
The
fish
fresness
was
definitely
there.
The
Chicken
Teriyaki
came
out
on
one
of
those
sizzling
hot
plates
which
makes
for
nice
presentation
&
hot
food
which
is
good.
I've
gotta
say
it's
probably
the
best
teriyaki
chicken
I've
had
at
a
sushi
place.
The
chicken
was
cooked
well,
not
dry
at
all,
with
just
a
little
char.
The
sauce
was
quite
good
too.
It
just
had
more
fuller
flavor
&
nice
balance
of
savory
&
sweet.
It
was
good
portion
of
meat
&
I
would
have
liked
a
little
more
veggies
along
with
it.
One
major
critique,
at
least
for
me
is
how
this
place
does
NOT
let
you
order
the
mixed
combo
bento
at
dinner
time.
It's
only
for
lunch.
It
just
seems
so
random
&
limiting
since
this
is
the
only
place
I've
seen
do
this.
Most
other
similar
places
usually
have
the
same
options
for
lunch
&
dinner,
but
just
charge
more
at
dinner.
Service
&
parking:
The
service
was
very
friendly
&
attentive
with
no
problems
at
all.
They
checked
our
temps
at
the
door
(covid-19
problems)
&
sat
us
immediately.
I
should
mention
it
was
a
Monday
night
though.
Parking
is
very
easy
in
their
moderately
sized
lot.
Even
if
there
lot
is
full
it
should
not
be
hard
to
find
a
spot
in
the
residential
area
not
far
off.
Being
that
the
place
is
pretty
close
by
I
suppose
I
would
return
here
but
mainly
because
it's
the
gf
who
is
a
sushi
addict.
But
I'd
probably
do
lunch
for
the
combo
bento
option.
