Kiku Alpine is outstanding! A spacious, local gem with high quality, fresh food. Hibachi chef Christian delivers a great table side performance — neat, quick, and very personable. Truly delicious!

If you enjoy Hibachi, you may like this place. But when we visited, according to reviews, we found the meat quality and rice not up to our standards. And also the sushi chef have had resigned, so we didn’t have too many choices but only … More

Never get the chicken here. 5 ounces for $28. Also if you ask to sub vegatables for rice they will charge you an extra $5 without telling you which makes no sense. They get 2 stars because the food is tasty, but doesn’t make sense to be paying more than Manhattan prices for hibachi all the way in New Jersey.. More

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. More

Absolutely terrible experience. We called ahead and were told it would be a 20-minute wait — it turned into two full hours. When we finally sat down, they put us at a hibachi table that didn’t even work, then moved us again, and we just sat … More

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 … More

We had such a great experience at Kiku! I took my niece for hibachi and she had a blast. She was a little scared when the fire flared up, but she couldn’t stop smiling and ended up loving every minute of it. The chef was entertaining, the … More

The absolute worst dining experience of my life. Zero stars if I could give it. My family and I went to Kiku in Alpine, NJ looking for a fun hibachi dinner, and instead, we got a lesson in how not to run a restaurant. … More

Sat at 6:45 and waited for nearly 40 minutes. After repeated inquiries we finally got salad and soup at 8:05. It's now 9:24 and they just came to drop off a check. I can understand being short staffed or having a new server, but based on … More
