"Great sushi in Madrid. We saw how they cut a fresh salmon to prepare the sashimi and nigiri’s, and it was delicious. Very good service. It gets full very quickly, we got there as they were opening and within an hour the restaurant was full and there was a line outside."

"Good sushi. Mexican style. Recommend the tuna temaki and dynamite roll. Didn't have the yuzu cake but the mochis were good. Service needs to improve by being new. Great for eating alone."

"Food was really good, especially the tuna sashimi. Music was way too loud and reminded me of a rnb club. The Service was weird, didn’t know what Sake is…."

"Lovely place to have lunch, I particularly love the layout of the dining area with a focus on the sushi preparation area in the middle - it's an excellent experience watching the chefs prepare sushi rolls! I highly recommend the Rib Eye Temaki rolls and the Udon con Rib Eye - as you can tell, I'm quite the carnivore, and I am impressed with the quality of Kuikku, whether it's this branch in Velasquez 55 or the branch in Vilalar 6! Kudos to the staff, sushi chefs, and owners for their hard work in keeping the quality consistently great!"
