iKU Sushi & Bento

Second time here! Always so fast but it's pretty empty. It didn't look as fresh this time compared to my first time. II mean for $17.29 for this portion I'd say it's pretty good. I wanted to see if they could switch out the roll for another kind but they don't do that. There are tables upstairs but people just buy and go.

Way better than airport sushi! Your basic quick take out sushi place. Fish tastes pretty fresh, with average quality. The sushi sets are nice since they come with salmon and tuna, and two types of roles. The nigiri slices were slightly on the thinner side and tasted precut, since pieces were a little drier on the edges. Rice was average, neither too moist nor too dry. Set was about $18. Grab and go, or sit for a quick bite. Great when you are on the rush. Dont bring a date..

I went here for lunch on a Tuesday recently and there wasn't much of a wait! At this place, you can pick up what packed foods you want at the fridge by the walls and then pay for it at the front, but if you go later during the lunch hours, then the fridge might be a little empty.Anyways, I got the Grilled Lemongrass Pork Bento. The food was good, but it eventually got a little too salty for me as I was eating more of it. I was ok with it being a bit too salty since I was hungry, so maybe that's why it didn't bother me too much.I'd recommend this place! They usually have more food and small grab and go snacks, but during the time I went, they didn't have much available at the fridge. They also have tables here if you decide to eat your meal here. The meal I got here also filled me up, so I was happy about that.

Thought this would be a quick-and-go sushi joint, but the only thing you can grab is a soda. Had to order the sushi and wait a few minutes. On one hand it's fresher. But on the other hand, it's not high end sushi anyway so there's not much marginal benefit to waiting for it to be freshly made (versus grabbing it quickly to go).Chicken Karaage: This was the free side that came with a sushi set. Was lukewarm, bordering on cold. And the batter wasn't crispy. Mega Set: The raw tuna and avocado roll with a creamy sauce was tasty and the main highlight. The tuna nigiri was a mixed experience with one piece being tender while the other piece felt overly firm. The salmon nigiri was just ok... and the color seemed a little off. The California roll was kinda bland.

[Pre-Covid Review] When I used to work in FiDi before the pandemic, this place was a great spot to grab a quick, affordable lunch if I've forgotten mine.Typically I get onigiri, and I try to go in the morning, since they usually sell out of most items by lunch time. There's also hot items like chicken karaage, takoyaki, etc. I have gotten their pork katsu as well, one time when I was lucky for it to not sell out. Prices are fairly reasonable and the food quality is pretty good.

Fantastic sushi! Fresh, tasty, and convenient. Some of the best I've ever had. Definitely worth a try.

Really convenient and tasty lunch option when I go into the office. The Mega set is so filling and has a nice mix of what I like. The bentos are tasty and fresh but I'd actually like a little more veggies. It's not super elite sushi but the price point is fine and it's quick.

Just moved my office to the Financial District and accidentally stumbled upon this sushi to-go spot near work. Love that they offer both sushi and bento options--gives some nice variety for lunch. Food quality gets an 8/10 from me; it's pretty impressive, especially for a quick service place. Prices aren't the cheapest around, but they're definitely acceptable considering the location. Overall, I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for quality Asian fast food in the area. Great find!

Skip the tofu bento. It was soaked in sweet and sour sauce from the glass bottle, mixed with some coarse black pepper--really weird taste that left me so thirsty afterward. The tofu also looks nothing like the tofu on the menu. Veggies with cold and raw. Unenjoyable $17.

Please save your money and go somewhere else. Would not recommend. Food - Not good. I felt sick after eating the Deluxe set. Nothing in that set was fresh. Felt like the food was in the fridge for too long. Rice in the Nigiri was really cold. Service- fast service and the person that took the order was really nice.
