Good Sushi & Atmosphere. Great atmosphere and a good value compared to other options in the area. The non-sushi offerings are below average, but the sushi is great. The service really has declined since we started going two years ago. Its still friendly and welcoming at the door but half the servers dont seem to really grasp what good service is about. On our last visit, our waiter wasted our drinks as he was placing then on the table. Then he just walked away, no apology, not effort to clean up. We politely assumed he had not noticed his spill and waved him over. He returned and in response threw some napkins on the table and walked away once more. We would have left then but another server brought out our food and graciously asked if she could help clean up the spill and bring us more drinks. Softened by the kind server, we gave the waiter the benefit of a doubt, maybe its his first day or a bad day. When we asked for a dessert menu, he took two off the table across from us which was recently vacated and waiting to be cleaned and literally tossed them to us. That was the last straw. We usually tip 30% for great service 18% for ok service and have always tipped 18% here but we gave this guy exactly 10%. He then followed us out to our car to ask why we tipped low explaining that they split tips. We politely explained we didnt tip low, 10% is a fair tip for bad service. He asked what he did "bad" and when we began to explain, he rolled his eyes and went back inside without even hearing us out. We havent been back since, one bad apple ruins the whole bunch.

I went here with a bunch of other "mom" friends and really enjoyed it! You have to be prepared for the hibachi experience which includes the flame tricks, spatula/knife flips, shrimp tossed at you, and the flaming onion volcano. If you dont like any of that this wont be the place for you. I ordered the NY Strip and Shrimp and it was delicious! The steak was prepared perfectly. Your order comes with soup, salad, rice, noodles, and whatever protein you ordered. The Miso soup (which I normally do not like at all) was amazing! I could have eaten three bowls of it! The salad was lackluster and I did not bother to eat much of it, but everything else was so good I didnt mind that. The fried rice and the noodles were delicious as well. I will definitely be going back here!

My husband and I went last night for our date night. We had a great time and all the chefs there seemed to be awesome and having fun with their tables. The food was more seasoned then any other Japanese Steakhouse in the area. Also they give you both rice and noodles with your meal. It seemed very clean and the service was great- Plus you get free Sake all night while they are cooking!!!! Did I mention the food was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. I did not see any roaches and it seemed very clean and smelled fine. I will be coming back, even their bar drinks were good!

Might be my favorite place for sushi in Gaithersburg. Good value in sashimi and nigiri, but youre paying DC prices for rolls. Hibachi offerings are very good, and of course the whole chef show is entertaining. The wait staff have been horrid the last handful of times Ive been there, but the food makes up for it - seems like new wait staff every time we go (monthly) so I hope ziki can turn around this shortcoming... its forgivable for only so long despite the good food. Dont bother with dessert, so spend it elsewhere on the menu. Fun happy hour; great for birthdays.

AWESOME! Usually these hibachi places can be disappointing. Food is just so-so. You go more for the entertainment than the food. NOT AT ZIKI. My friend convinced me to go here a while ago. I was totally skeptical. I thought these places were overpriced and the food was just so-so. WRONG! Ziki is THE BEST HIBACHI I have EVER had in my life! And Ive been to Japan more than once! The food is FLAVORFUL, fresh, delicious, you literally will keep wanting more and more. So yummy! Each bite delights! I havent been here in a minute...now Im hungry to go back!

The food was great, the presentation and taste was wonderful, especially the rice. My family and I ordered the hibachi steak, shrimp, and mixed vegetables with fried rice. I was not disappointed at all, the chef was fun and friendly and included with my son as well. He was also skillful with his tools and put in a great show. However, I noticed the ceiling tiles and they looked disgusting, and needed to be changed or at least cleaned (pictures are provided). If you have a dust allergy I do not recommend this restaurant.

should be 4.5 stars really. Food, service, and family friendly experience were all excellent. The only objection is that it feels dirty the floor and ladies rooms in particular, maybe its partly because the place is so dark. The staff was super accommodating. Our 2 year old was petrified of the chef and the fire at first and so they tamed down the actual fire in the "show". They also helped our 5 year old celebrate her birthday with a candle in a lemon + a candle in a scoop of ice cream, so cute.

Excellent sushi and hibachi, fully stocked bar. Ive eaten at Ziki dozens of times and never been disappointed. The sushi selection is good and always great. The sushi presentation is seemingly random, sometimes just what you expect and other times wow, eye popping. The hibachi show is exactly what you expect and the food is always top notch. Any problems weve ever had (not many over the years) and they are dealt with swiftly.

the food could have been more diverse, it was good, they just didnt have that many options.. teryiaki meat or hibachi meat.. or sushi.. and more sushi.. rice & noodles.. also the service was very amusing, must have been a new guy working, 3X he came to our booth and asked if an alcoholic beverage on his tray was ours, after the third time saying no I was joking with my dad saying if he comes back again well take it :P

Usually busy, good sushi at reasonable prices. Ive been here many times, and never had or sat at the hibachi- but Ive never seen unhappy people sitting at them. The sushi is delicious and fresh, parking is easy, service is reasonably attentive. Its a little loud, but its going to be a natural result of the hibachi style. I plan on returning, and have and would recommend Ziki.

We had a great time eating here! We didnt opt for the live hibachi show, but we did sneak a peak over at the people who were... and it looked like they were having an awesome time. The food was great, atmosphere lively and the staff was eager and ready to get us whatever we wanted. Even though it was a busy Friday happy hour & dinner crowd our food came out fast and fresh.

Andy, Andy, Andy! Greatest manager ever! He took great care of me the first time I went there, made sure I was familiar with the menu, assisted me on food and beverage choice and all the while kept a great attitude and was very entertaining with his quick jokes. I would love to visit again soon and I will not hesitate to recommend this place to any and everyone I k ow!
