Kiko Sushi & Yakitori in Tunbridge Wells

Been there a couple of times and absolutely love it! Food is amazing and reasonable price and service and atmosphere is lovely. Highly recommend

The most reliably good sushi place in the area, lovely atmosphere for a dinner with family/friends and exceptional food in terms of presentation, quality and freshness - also great to order delivery from! Have been many times and will return many more!

The food and service were excellent as always, managed our food allergies perfectly

Wonderful doomed, very reasonable price

Amazing food and atmosphere and the staff were so lovely and friendly. Highly recommend.

The sushi is *brilliant* and the staff are lovely.

An excellent, sushi and yakitori restaurant. Also the only Yakitori restaurant I've cone across. The menu is pricey but the portions are large and there is an incredible amount of food to choose from. I recommend anything off the grill or the dragon rolls.

Absolutely love this place! Food is out of this world and such great value. My only negative is I had the last sitting at 8.30pm and I was rushed at the end so I was not able to enjoy my last course

Had a fantastic meal for a birthday dinner. The sushi was out of this world and the from the grill section was equally as good. I’d hight recomend the tempura salmon maki rolls and the spicy tuna rolls. Andrea and the rest of the team were very friendly and gave great service. Thank you for a lovely meal!

Had fantastic food here yesterday - always fresh and flavourful with lovely sauces/dressings. Really on par with eateries in Japan itself and by far the best in the area. We have been here a lot and the staff are always lovely too. The best sushi and also some super tasty starters/sides. Never had a bad meal; always amazing!

Excellent food and service, would recommend to anyone.

Once you clamber over your uncomfortable seats the food is authentic and fresh.

Kiko is always a treat. Excellent, fresh sushi and slick service. It’s our go-to place for food when we visit Tunbridge Wells and it never disappoints. We’ll be back again soon!

This is japanese at its best. We had a variety of sashimi and sushi, from soft shelled crabs, spicy, wagu and a variety of types of sushi. Everything was excellent for the 4 of us, perfectly presented , amazing staff and utterly utterly delicious. The atmosphere is as you'd hope - full on Japanese. It's not cheap but with this standard there can be no complaints. Tunbridge Wells is so lucky to have a restaurant like this.

We had such a wonderful night and enjoyed the delicious food and great service as usual. Kiko kindly accepted a bunch of flowers some friends arranged to send there for our daughter’s birthday. It made for a very special occasion - many thanks !

Mixed review. If you’re hoping for a relaxing meals and an opportunity to catch up with friends this is not the place for you. While the food was excellent, the strict 90 minute table allocation is completely insufficient for a sociable evening out with friends. We went for a friends birthday, ordered sushi as a sharing plate, and then ordered mains. We were then told we had to vacate the table in 20 minutes (our food hadn’t arrived) so we had to cancel the order for the main meal, pay up and leave. Very disappointing.

Great food, great service and a family fav!

Well presented Japanese fare. Staff were friendly and helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Sunday. We will be visiting again, soon. Staff are a credit to the restaurant.

Great food!! Friendly staff lovely evening

Andrea is always welcoming, always very efficient and always asks us how we are doing. She could not do more.

Honestly, this is the best sushi restaurant we’ve ever been to! It’s our go-to spot, and after endless visits, it never disappoints. Every dish we’ve tried has been excellent—always fresh, beautifully presented, and flavourful. The staff are friendly and efficient. Always willing to help and suggest things to try. We can’t recommend it enough!

Aleays great food and service. Love it.

Amazing food.BUT...they kick you out 1.30 hrs. For 4 people eating and drinking this is not long..They even let us buy another bottle of wine,then proceeded to say we have to leave 10 minutes later!..Almost harassed us to leave...Not impressed

Best sushi in town and amazing staff!

Food is amazing but we were a table of 6 and hugely rushed as table requested back after 1.5 hours. We barely had eaten mains and had to order dessert and 10 minutes later we were asked to leave as the table had another booking

Delicious food and great service.

Delicious and fresh food! Obviously everything are make within passion for the Brazilian team! Last Saturday when I have been there with my daughter and sat down on the counter, I clearly saw they work with a lot of synchrony and in a very good and happy mood! OBRiGADA => THANK YOU to Luis Fernando = Chef and your great team! I will be back very soon. Jackie Muñoz

Absolutely divine sushi. Can’t wait for the next visit 🤤

Love it here. Excellent Yakatori and tempura. Sushi good. Something for everyone and such different flavours.

Excellent food and service as always

A Hidden Gem for Sushi Lovers As an ex-sushi chef, I’m quite particular about quality, and Kiko Sushi Yakitori in Tunbridge Wells did not disappoint. The sushi was exceptional—fresh, well-balanced, and prepared with great attention to detail. The rice was perfectly seasoned, and the fish was top-quality, with standout nigiri and creative maki rolls. Their yakitori was equally impressive, with a beautiful house made yakitori sauce well-seasoned flavors that complemented the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere welcoming. For anyone seeking authentic sushi and yakitori, Kiko is a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Lovely, attentive staff, in a cosy, authentic little restaurant, with extremely tasty food and some interesting menu choices. Slightly on the pricey side, but the taste made it worthwhile

Always enjoy a dinner here. Excellent quality food and great atmosphere. They always try hard with the service also

Great food badly let down by poor service. Really tasty food, enjoyed the sushi and grilled dishes we ordered. We arrived 10min early and were told our table wasn’t ready, but weren’t offered to stay for a drink while we waited so we left and returned. Service was abrupt and rushed. No one checked in to see if our food was OK and table wasn’t wiped down between mains and dessert. The whole experience felt very rushed and was a disservice to the food.

One of the best restaurants in Tunbridge wells for sure! Always great service and great food. Definitely a place you need to book in advance (Try the miso glazed pork belly yakitori- amazing!)

Food was amazing - good sushi is always a pleasure to eat! We also had the vegetable gyoza (fried) and the vegetable tempura. We also had the volcano special rolls, which had a little too much mayo on, but honestly that's just personal preference as they were still delicious! Our waitress was super kind and attentive as well :) will definitely come again!

We were very rushed to order and finish our food. The staff were very rude on a Saturday evening and we could actually hear the staff talking about our table and looking over whilst eating our food. Lovely food but very disappointed by the staff etiquette which let the whole experience down.

We really enjoyed the food, but the service didn't match up, especially at the end of the meal. To be fair, we had one lovely waitress, but at 10pm the bill was unceremoniously placed on our table by an unfriendly girl who said - 'here's your bill, we're closing'. She came back less than a minute later brandishing the credit card machine, saying 'cash or card'. No warning and according to google the restaurant closes at 10.30, not 10pm. There were still two other tables and it felt very rushed and unwelcoming after a really nice meal. I've done my time in hospitality and we never finished a table like that especially at £60 a head.

Very friendly staff brought us delicious food. Tasty and well balanced. A menu to explore further.

Excellent food and wonderful service. The presentation of the sushi is amazing 😊

The food was amazing and service excellent! Also really reasonable in price bearing in mind you always think sushi will be expensive! We sat upstairs at the sunken tables. It was quite noisy but only because we had 6 big guys sitting right next to us so but added to the atmosphere. The 5 of us loved it and will definitely be back.

KIKO has been our favorite spot for a while now. Dinning in or take aways, it’s always as good as it can get. Beside the amazing fresh fish they are always happy to accommodate mine and my partners order preferences (extra philadelphia 😂). We’ve recommend this place to so many friends and family, and if you are in doubt, think no longer. Muito obrigada guys and até logo!!!! 🇧🇷🍣❤️

Really great food, we went for lunch and was affordable but also great quality. Will definitely go back

Very friendly place, reasonable price and welcoming 💯

Fantastic restaurant, great yakitori and the sushi platter was stunning, friendly service, what more could you want?

Very lovely experience - food was excellent and came out very promptly. We had a lovely meal and thank you very much for accommodating our baby.

Good quality of food and service, we went there regularly for the past year, but recently with dramatically increased of price and I can easily find elsewhere with better value, and we won’t go there again.

Fantastic fresh sushi set in a very traditional style Japanese restaurant, made me feel like I was back in Osaka. Staff were amazing. Flavours exceptional. Will be back!

Excellent food and even more excellent staff! Highly recommended…

Amazing quality and service! This place is all about the quality from start to finish. I can’t fault it. Lots of non sushi menu choices too. The pork belly Yakitori omg! Just go and enjoy:-)

Always an amazing experience at Kiko. The food is incredible - the best sushi I’ve had and the staff are so friendly.

Excellent food and attentive staff - we loved our meal!

The food was incredible, especially the lava roll and unagi nigiri. We were blown away by the quality of everything and will be back for sure. It felt a bit weird to be asked at 9.30 if we wanted our bill, but maybe that is their process to get you out by 10pm. It was a shame the staff didn’t have a lot of knowledge about the menu and couldn’t answer our questions about the food. But that didn’t take away from a lovely visit.

I happily recommend Kiko and I am looking forward to returning! My suggestions are the momo yakitori - very sweet and pleasant seasoning, the spider salmon dragon roll - extremely nice and crunchy, and the unagi dragon roll - the eel is worth it!

I had a wonderful lunch. The service was excellent.

Fantastic sushi, good value and always really fresh! Been many times and has always been consistent. Will be back again soon.

The food is reliable and exceptional. We are extremely fortunate to have such a great Sushi restaurant in Tunbridge Wells on par with THE BEST London Sushi restaurants. Highly recommend Lava Roll, Spicy Lava Roll & All the KIKO Specials with 💙

This menu was very well presented and very tasteful. We have attended with our kids this afternoon. The service has been excellent. The flavors have improved since our last visit. The food was remarkably good.

Brilliant Service, even better food. Katie’s service on Sunday was exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Absolutely delicious food and great service, would 100% recommend

Very nice service and food We loved the sushi

Some of the best yakitori I've had outside of Japan. Friendly staff and yummy sushi. We'll definitely be back.

Such great food and at such a reasonable price everything is so friend and staff are really friendly and helpful!

Great service, amazing food and reasonable set menu

Food was fantastic, staff really friendly and helpful.

I always bring people here to celebrate a special occasion as the food is extraordinary, the vibe takes us back to our holiday in Japan perfectly. Either dine in or take away, Kiko Sushi & Yakitori is my favourite spot in Tunbridge wells.

The food tasted great and had a platter with a selection of items. Although we could not try everything on the large menu this visit, we’re looking forward go another visit soon and we’re confident it will all taste amazing.

Delicious food, great service. Only ever sat downstairs which is quite small, looking forward to seeing the upstairs.

Kiko is our favourite restaurant - the food is outstanding every time. Fabulous, fresh and tasty sushi, the best sashimi anywhere, the special rolls are absolutely delicious, as is the tempura, and the grills. We have never had anything less than excellent food there. Service is also great - Andrea always does us proud!

Wonderful meal - took my 11 year old son and we had a fabulous time together. The food and service were amazing. Highly recommend!

A delicious and clean place to take a break

Came here for my sister’s birthday last weekend and cant believe I haven’t checked it out before! We ordered a selection of dishes to share and everything we got was incredible. The service was fast and professional with lovely friendly waitresses! We had this truffle chicken sushi which was out of this world. I can’t wait to return, a must try in Tunbridge wells!

Our second time coming to Kiko and honestly the service and food were just as amazing as we remembered. Helpful staff, really quick service and incredible food!

Great food, amazing staff very helpful. Great price.

Andreea is brilliant. Taught me how to use chopsticks which was a game changer 👊🏼

Lovely food .. we had a selection of different dishes and enjoyed all of them.

Love this place & highly recommend. It was simply superb as ever. Especially as it was a family event. Service & food was fabulous

A sushi treat for my son's 12th birthday. Food and service were amazing. Will definitely be returning and can highly recommend.

First time dining here and what a delight. Will not hesitate to return. Loved everything we ordered and enjoyed the sunken seating style upstairs too. Great place.

Best sushi in the area by a mile, really tasty and delicious every time. Excellent attentive service.

Great authentic experience and delicious food accompanied with great customer service. Highly recommended

We had a lovely afternoon out at Kiko. Sushi was amazing. We loved all of it! Staff was lovely and accommodating to our dietary needs & was a lovely setting. And was super affordable including drinks! Left full & will definitely be back. x

Brilliant food & friendly staff. Fair prices also.

My go to for amazing Sushi. They also cater for Gluten Free customers. Highly recommend!

Excellent lunch experience at reasonable price Sashimi was fresh. The rolls were delightful The rice texture can be improved One minor bad thing is the wasabi was not real one Excellent service £20 per head

The sushi was very nice, the sashimi and the noodles not as much, everyone was polite but the place is a bit chaotic, quite expensive.

Kiko is our favourite restaurant, we have been many times and each time is just as amazing as the last. The food is outstanding and staff are lovely and helpful. We are already planning our next visit. Thank you :)

Fantastic what else to say lovely dinner with my daughters on Father’s Day I haven’t been in a while great service with a smile from the lovely lady

Loved it will definitely come again!

Beautiful, fresh and delicious sushi, and more. The set lunch is excellent value and the service friendly and quick. I'm looking forward to my next visit to T Wells - this place will be the main reason to come!

Having been to Kiko well over a dozen times now, we enjoyed another stellar meal here in June 2024. Excellent quality ingredients, delicious sushi, and friendly service - what more could you ask for?

I've only been once, but I am a sushi fan and this experience did not disappoint. Excellent fresh food and good selection of drinks. We had a birthday celebration meal and the 4 of us were happy. Edit: went again. There were 5 of us. Amazing meal upstairs.

A great Sushi and Yakitori restaurant ! Fresh food prepared just in front of you. Really nice service Lovely place

Excellent little gem in Tunbridge wells with high quality Japanese food. Always delicious.

Legit some of the best sushi iev ever had

Amazing food. A bit rushed though.

Only used it for take away, food delicious, staff busy but friendly. Couple of side dishes were cold though but overall fantastic grub.

Kiko is a lovely little sushi restaurant, here’s some of things that I think makes this place a winner: 1. The food is prepared fresh and surprisingly quickly too (everything tasted incredible). 2. The staff are helpful and approachable. 3. The restaurant itself has a really nice vibe, it’s not a big restaurant so it doesn’t get super loud and they really tried to make it feel like Japan which I think they succeeded at. Would highly recommend this place to sushi and Japanese food lovers

My brother in law was back from Italy and fancied sushi, we decided on Kiko Tunbridge Wells, the food was exceptional, and was super fresh and tasty, The staff are fantastic, friendly, and helpful! I will definitely return and recommend to friends!!!

Hands down the best place to come in Tunbridge wells,if not Kent!! Great service,the most fantastic food & even if u don’t think u would like Sushi… u will if u come here. Just give Kiko a try.
