I've been waiting to try this spot until I was in the area and got lucky that a friend lived nearby! I ordered the Katsudon for takeout and was so incredibly pleased by not only the authentic flavors of this dish, but also the portion size! As someone who has spent some time in Japan and had authentic Katsudon Buri while there, This dish was incredibly nostalgic and delicious. I felt like I was back in Tokyo! I will be back in hopes of dining in and testing out their Japanese curry!

We came in at lunch time on a Friday, it was not very busy. The waitress/host was very friendly, helpful, and attentive. This is a cute quiet place to get a good meal. For three people we spent about 60 dollars including tip. They have good lunch specials and offer self serve miso soup/salads with their lunch specials. Would come again. Thank you so much for the delicious food!We got the raku-ten and it was superb, it was a large portion and well made.

I have conflicting feelings about this eatery. It's very quaint, nestled in a small shopping center off the very busy Colorado Blvd. The inside is small and quite chaotic. Boxes piled up everywhere and there are minimal tables for eating. The booth we sat in had a very big white table topper made of marble or something similar which stuck out over the edges and ended up making the seat quite uncomfortable. Just something to note. Food is great, big portions and very delicious. The one thing that could be improved is the service. We arrived at an off time- so the restaurant was not busy- only one other diner was there. We ordered and the food came out relatively fast but just the overall vibe of the lady working seemed like she was annoyed at us and that we were not welcome there. Okay, now back to the most important part of the meal- the food! We ordered the Nabeyaki Udon which is a delicious soup based noodle dish! Featuring many fresh vegetables and various seafood, everything about this dish is delicious. The broth is addictingly good and I loved the freshness of the shrimp tempura. The noodles are nice and chewy.My dining partner got the sukiyaki with rice, which was really good as well! The thinly sliced fatty beef was perfect in the marinade/sauce and even more creamy when dipped in the raw egg and eaten with rice. The sauce was quite salty on its own, but when dipped in the egg, it helped mellow out the overall saltiness of the entire dish. I will maybe try this place again just to see if she was having an off day, but I'm not in any rush to head back to dine in. Maybe if we were to eat here again I'd do take out- but if we do dine in again and the service is better, I'll update the review.

I almost cried when the food came out. This is the only restaurant I've been to where it feels like a genuine home cooked meal. They are truly a mom and pop shop. I felt nostalgia, warmth, care, and love through the food and I didn't even grow up eating this cuisine. If you've seen Miyazaki's 'whisper of the heart', eating here feels like the scenes when she sings 'country road'. I would describe it as country Japanese food, but I know very little about the topic. It's simple, elegant, and beautiful. Very casual atmosphere, not a lot of seating, you won't regret eating here. Their tofu katsu allowed me to live my katsu dreams while staying pescatarian - and it was fire, blew me out of orbit. I may write them a love/thank you note later. The menu is long, but I'd recommend reading through it and not deferring to the ramen menu immediately. See if there's anything new you may discover you like.

Pretty good for a quick fix. Wish the dishes had a little more flavor to them Order the Gyudon Bowl, Pork Katsu Curry, J.F.C, and a side of Japanese Pickles. Solid mayo sauce + Togarashi to dip my fried chicken in!

One of my favorite places to go. Very lowkey, but absolutely amazing. I'm a huge fan of everything I've tried but my personal favorite is the fried mackerel. It's super crunchy and has changed my view on what makes a good fried fish. I love bringing my friends here, and we've never been disappointed.

I just absolutely adore Kiki's!Yes, the restaurant is really small on the inside and consists of about 5 tables... So, beware when dining in, because there may be a decent wait.But, I personally think the wait is worth it.This spot reminds me of a true dining experience in Japan with the limited seating and delicious menu.Dare I say, Kiki's has the BEST gyudon in Denver! The beef is always so fatty, juicy, and soaks right into the rice! I drive across town for this gyudon!The service has always been great and friendly. With this particular experience, I ordered my meal to-go and when I arrived, she was ready with the food to ring me up! And, everything tasted fresh! Very happy with Kiki's!

If you're seeking a hole in the wall Japanese food gem look no further than Kiki's! While the ambiance may not win awards, the food unquestionably does. The waiter, also likely the owner, guided us through the menu with enthusiasm. Taking her recommendation, we opted for the sukiyaki udon and it was a treat! The food arrived promptly, steaming hot with so much flavor. Each spoonful was a delight, leaving us craving more. Service was efficient and friendly, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. I honestly don't think I've ever had such delicious udon! I'm already eagerly anticipating my next visit to explore more offerings from Kiki's! I only regret that it's taken me so long to get here.

This place never fails me. They are super consistent with their food and are always quick to order. I took a couple of friends with me and they also enjoyed their meals (katsu curry and pork katsu don). I stuck with my original order- a chicken katsu don and it was even better this time - if that's even possible.
