KIKU Restaurant in Quedlinburg

We were greeted and served in a very professional and friendly manner, and felt very comfortable. The menu was incredibly delicious. I've never experienced so many flavors in one evening in my life. The time between courses flew by. Even though it's quite expensive, it's a must-try experience at least once. There were four of us, and everyone was completely satisfied. We highly recommend this restaurant.

As always, a pleasure trip for the eyes, taste buds and soul 🥰

A delight - every course an explosion of flavor

We had a wonderful evening with Jan and his fantastic team at KIKU. From the warm welcome with a personalized greeting card to the atmospheric conclusion with a sake tasting, our visit was a complete success. The extravagant menu takes you on an extraordinary culinary journey that will stay with you for a long time. Some combinations of ingredients may seem surprising at first—almost daring—but each course impressively demonstrates how harmoniously opposites can blend. The accompanying wines and juices are carefully selected and perfectly underline the character of each dish. We particularly appreciated that the two chefs personally served some courses at our table. The additional insights into the preparation and philosophy of the kitchen add a special depth to the experience. We are already looking forward to our next visit to KIKU—a place where culinary creativity and hospitality are celebrated at the highest level.

Amazing restaurant! Amazing experience! Amazing staff! A gem and must when visiting. The food was so flavorful and delicious. Can’t say enough about the people and restaurant.

You feel like a guest rather than a customer – the personal service and attention is truly exceptional. The dishes, and especially the flavor and product combinations, are incredibly surprising and deserve the highest marks from me and my wife. All I can say is: KEEP IT UP! ... and conclude with a warm "see you soon."

Fantastic food in a great atmosphere. Excellent service from the staff.

A wonderful restaurant: cozy, stylish interiors, impeccable service from a highly personable small team, and, above all, fantastic cuisine with a strong Asian influence. Everything fits perfectly here!

We spent a wonderful evening at Kiku. The service staff was very well trained and very attentive. The dishes, with their various components, were a true feast for the palate and a visual delight. A big thank you to the kitchen and the service for this wonderful evening.

We were a group of six and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner (9 courses plus wine pairing) at Kiku. Each course was refined, not overly opulent, not too salty or too fatty, but fresh, always with a surprise in terms of flavor, texture, ingredients, or temperature, and absolutely flawless craftsmanship. We devoured each course with dedication and great pleasure. The wine pairings were occasionally quite surprising—as they should be—and perfectly matched each course. Excellent, very friendly, unpretentious service and our conversation in the kitchen were the further ingredients for a truly wonderful evening at Kiku.

It's been a long time since I've had such delicious food with such attentive and friendly service! Everything deserves at least one star.

Decided to stop by as I was passing by – and experienced a fabulous culinary journey and a wonderful evening. Great!

Since discovering Kiku, I've always loved stopping by whenever I'm near Quedlinburg. Jan Fribus is a master; every one of his menus has impressed me so far. And together with his team, he creates a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in this beautiful restaurant in the old town. Asian influences run like a common thread through the dishes. Sometimes they're very creative, such as Korean kimchi with white chocolate, cedar cone ice cream, or grilled pineapple. Others are perfectly crafted, such as the "very simple things," such as Japanese egg custard (chawanmushi), shrimp dim sum, or a delicious Chinese baozi. A classic fish and/or meat course rounds out the experience wonderfully. I can wholeheartedly recommend a visit if you're in the mood for a taste journey!

KIKU menu, an experience that will stay in your memory for a long time. Every single course offers a wealth of taste and aroma impressions, some of them surprising. My favorites were an intermediate course (plum sorbet with roasted pineapple = dreamy!) and a dessert (millefeuille with Meyer lemon). The mix of Asian and local fits perfectly. Plus a good conversation with Eric and Jan. Great!

The service, ambience and food are simply stunningly good. As a guest, you can tell that the team is motivated, enjoys their “work” and sees each guest as an individual. As a guest you feel “seen”, taken seriously and comfortable. The nice conversations with the service are definitely enriching. The 1st star is overdue. We wish you all the best. Pl

We had a wonderful evening. The food was perfect and the service was very attentive and courteous. The only thing where, in my opinion, there is some room for improvement would be the wine accompaniment - here I would like to have more courage to try something unusual. We'll definitely be back, maybe with a star :) we'll keep our fingers crossed!

In my opinion, the desired star is not yet in sight; With a lot of goodwill I give four stars: The menu and wine accompaniment were not timed; the first wine came a course late and the service was unable to rectify this. Partly because of a sourdough bread that hadn't been baked yet, it took us almost three and a half hours for the menu - clearly too long. The selection of wines was not convincing; I found these almost almost inappropriate at times; there was no surprise to the palate. The service staff were friendly and tried hard, but there was a lack of professionalism. So finger lemons were handed to the wrong aisle and there was still no way to read the guests a bit. The coordination of the gears didn't convince me; they sometimes seem more randomly chosen than really coordinated. The three sweet courses at the end were each good in their own right, the mochi was really sensationally good. But the combination is too heavy. They were far too heavy on the previous aisles and prevented what you wanted: a good building feeling at the end. Over €200 per person is simply too much money for this offer. There is still some room for improvement.

We had a wonderful evening in this great restaurant. The food and the wine pairing were a taste experience. The service team gave us competent advice and service. We can really only recommend this restaurant.

👍🏻 Very good food in a pleasant atmosphere, served by a dedicated team. This won't be our last visit.

Diversity of cooking techniques and taste palettes. Well explained by the owner and his staff. Do +100% their best to make it a beautiful evening

Once again we were guests of Jan and his team. The food and service were completely convincing. The mix of predominantly Japanese and some European cuisine is a culinary experience. When will the first star come? Thank you for the lovely evening with you.

Excellent food, excellent wine pairings, a warm atmosphere and a team that gave their absolute best with passion. We really enjoyed the evening and would like to thank Jan and his team!

I can’t stop smiling – what a special evening! The Kiku in the middle of Quedlinburg's old town combines a modern ambience with a warm atmosphere. Every single course was a real taste experience: creative, sophisticated and prepared with great attention to detail. The entire team around Jan Fribus was incredibly attentive, professional and at the same time wonderfully warm. You can feel the passion for excellent gastronomy at every moment. Thank you very much for this unforgettable evening - the Kiku is definitely a very special place and absolutely on a star level!

It was an evening that we will remember for a long time! Service and menu were exceptional! We'd love to come back!

Thank you for the great and culinary inspiring evening. Each course delights with its variety of flavors. Great team in a relaxed atmosphere. A tip: Be sure to try the non-alcoholic menu accompaniment with the sensational juices. We'll be back!

Guys, treat yourself to an evening at KIKU. Star-level food in a very pleasant setting with great service on very comfortable armchairs. The menu shows the team's love for the guest but also for the food. Of course, with so much effort there are surprising taste experiences.

Great reception Great food!!!! A huge selection of drinks “Also for drivers” Service very accommodating Greetings, we'll be back

A great experience and great food with great service. Overall, an unforgettable evening.

Sophisticated & "unpretentious"; a surprising culinary experience in a small town...

World class experience & food. Great mega service. Only criticism: There is an unpleasant draft at the back left of the table for four. And it would have been great if the chef had shown himself. For example, I would have introduced myself to the main course or something like that.

Thank you for the wonderful evening. Everything is really right, ambience, service and the excellent food. All senses were addressed, we noticed and, more importantly, we tasted the loving handling of the food. The wine accompaniment was well chosen and suited our taste. Our favorite of the menu was the excellent trout, simply delicious. We would like to thank Jan and his very friendly team again for an unforgettable evening. Keep it up and give many more people the gift of a fireworks display of flavors and beautiful looks.

Simply an experience! I've rarely experienced such creations with such a variety of intense flavors and beautiful arrangements. It's hard to find a similarly upscale cuisine with Asian influences in the region. We'd love to come back!

We had a wonderful evening at KIKU. The menu, the wine pairing, and the service were all excellent. We especially appreciated that Jan Fribus served several courses himself and took the time for a personal conversation. A definite asset for Quedlinburg. We'd love to come back.

Edit: After a few months I made it back to KIKU and I was very surprised. Positive! The development the kitchen has made since my last visit is fascinating. The dishes were delicious last time, but this time they were even more balanced, more beautifully presented and tastier! The new service person also brings a lot to the restaurant, a young, committed man who is already at a high level. I've been to a few star-rated restaurants since my last visit and I have to say that with one exception, I would prefer KIKU every time. Keep it up and see you next visit! An absolutely harmonious restaurant, everything from the visuals to the music in the background to the food was coordinated. What was really worth mentioning was the quality of the tuna, this quality with the flavors from the Japanese grill were incredible. The processing of the products and the development of the flavors in the individual dishes are really great. It's a great little team, when you consider all the work they do, it's unbelievable! See you again!

We were at KIKU on Sunday and had a wonderful evening. The dishes were fantastically garnished and extremely tasty. Many thanks to Jan and his team. We are very excited and will definitely come back. You are great!!!

It was a great evening with an incredible variety of flavors. The service was very courteous and competent. We felt completely comfortable and would love to come back.

We were able to spend a wonderful evening with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. A very clear recommendation for everyone who values ​​something special. Keep it up!

We had a wonderful evening. The service is very friendly and attentive. Excellent selection, especially of wines that can also be ordered by the glass. Very harmonious menu cooked with passion. Very pleasant atmosphere. A must on the next visit to Quedlinburg, or if we are nearby.

There is no other way to say it, a fantastic evening. The atmosphere is cozy, the service is first class. We chose the menu with wine accompaniment, an incredible taste experience with unusual ingredients.

An absolutely perfect evening with wonderful food, great service and ideal wine accompaniment. We will definitely come back. A real highlight in Quedlinburg!

Wir hatten leider keine Reservierung, jedoch das Glück ein kleines Menü zu ergattern, da die folgenden Tische erst später reserviert waren! Dieser kleine Einblick in die Künste der Küche war grandios! Wir werden auf der nächsten Reise auf jeden Fall wieder kommen und vorher reservieren!

Many thanks to Jan and his team, it was another wonderful evening, a great menu that left nothing to be desired and super attentive service. See you soon, we will remain loyal to you and will be happy to be pampered by you again. Kind regards Rita and Gabi

Wie immer ein absoluter Genuss. Das Menü eine Offenbarung in Vielfalt, Optik und Geschmack. Die Weine passend und interessant gewählt. Der Service freundlich und kompetent. Das Preisniveau absolut angemessen. Herr Fribus, der es sich nicht nehmen lies drei Mal an meinen Tisch zu kommen, und sein Team definieren die Standards für den Nordharz neu. Und nicht nur für den Nordharz. Gerne werde ich auch zukünftig den Weg von Leipzig aus nach Quedlinburg machen. Er ist mehr als lohnenswert. Er ist lebenswert.

Wir waren gestern Abend zu Gast im KiKu. Von Anfang bis zum Ende ein Erlebnis sowohl im Service als auch aus der Küche. Der Service glänzte mit Wein - und Gängekenntnissen und brachte alles gekonnt und locker an den Tisch. Jan kam zwei mal an den Tisch und erklärte die gebrachten Gänge. Es war ein Erlebnis das wir nur Empfehlen können….ohne jede Abstriche. Wir sagen Danke Corinna und Thomas

Today we were at Kiku. Conclusion: - The menu was a flavor festival. - The staff were very friendly and attentive. - The chairs were comfortable - sitting for 3 hours wasn't a problem. - Nice atmosphere. - Good music at a reasonable volume. - We'll see each other again in 3 months at the latest. Sandy & Klaus

New Year's Eve menu at its best. Thank you for a great evening. We'd love to come back.

I would give 6 stars if I could! As soon as you enter KIKU you feel that the guest is in the foreground. The head waiter is polite, attentive and courteous. You notice this from the moment your coat is taken away and you are shown to your table. The tables are set clean and minimalist. We were very kindly informed that even if some components seemed unusual or flavor combinations seemed unusual, we should put ourselves in the hands of the chef and that was absolutely the right decision!!! The menu is written in such a way that everything is understandable for the guest, but behind every dish described in 2 or 3 words there is a whole arsenal of fabulously harmonizing components. At our request, one of our two menus was prepared vegetarian, but it was in no way lacking in sophistication. You can taste that the kitchen is confident in every course and prepares every dish with heart. I would particularly like to emphasize that, in addition to a fantastically corresponding wine tour, a juice accompaniment is also offered, made from homemade, partly fermented juices, which accompanied the courses in a tasty and harmonious manner. Water is always refilled between courses and empty glasses, plates and cups are immediately cleared away and cutlery is always set to match the course. Here again special praise for the service. The price of €135 for the 8-course menu preceded by an amuse bouche and €55 for the wine tour is ABSOLUTELY justified and you leave the restaurant feeling full. The KIKU is worth a trip to Quedlinburg We'd love to come back.

Unser Besuch "zwischen den Jahren" im KIKU bescherte uns ein Menu, das zum besten gehört, was wir in letzter Zeit gegessen haben. Es war unser zweiter Besuch in diesem Restaurant. Diesmal war nicht nur das Essen wieder ausgezeichnet, sondern auch der Service kompetent, flink und sehr freundlich. Das einzige, was man vielleicht bemängeln könnte, war die etwas zu niedrige Temperatur im Restaurant. Die einzelnen Gänge waren sehr vielfältig, eine Inspiration aus asiatischer und französischer Küche. Die Fisch- und Fleischgänge nicht zu trocken, sondern genau auf den Punkt gegart. Zum Glück gab es kein Brot, so dass wir bis zum Dessert alles mit gutem Appetit essen konnten. Die Wein- und die Saftbegleitung war auch ausgezeichnet. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

“We were at KiKU in Quedlinburg and were absolutely thrilled! The atmosphere is cozy, the service is first class and the food is to die for. We were particularly impressed that the vegetarian dishes were also superbly implemented - one person in our group eats vegetarian, and even these dishes were of the highest standard. Fresh ingredients, creative preparation and incredibly delicious! The wine list also impressed us: a great selection, with excellent wines at affordable prices. The service was consistently friendly, attentive and competent. We'll definitely be back. Absolute recommendation!” Note: The vegetarian menu was announced in advance!

We had a wonderful evening at Kiku and are very happy that Quedlinburg is now also worth a trip from a gastronomic perspective. Great food and very warm service.

Great food, friendly and attentive service, perfect evening

I highly recommend. VERY tasty and beautiful dishes. Talented chef 👌

If you want to experience something nice, you have to plan a menu evening at KIKU. Delicious food with explanations, friendly service and the right atmosphere, it was a dream!!! Thank you

Unfortunately, our waitress was very stressed and didn't say anything more about the food than what was on the menu. The next drinks to accompany the drinks were brought without asking whether we should continue. In some cases we hadn't even finished the previous ones. In addition, the waitress wanted to clear away several times, even though only one of us had finished eating.

It was a very nice, unobtrusive evening. Very fine food and great wines. Gladly again.

as always, a wonderful menu from you. the lobster and chawanmushi was a poem. we would love to come back and hope for more successful years to come. best regards from Frankfurt

Great menu, everything went perfectly and we really enjoyed it. The team was very friendly. All in all a great evening.

I just realized that I hadn't rated it yet. I was there with my girlfriend for her birthday in May and we enjoyed the menu accompanied by wine. It was wonderful, an incredible taste experience and you can feel how much soul the restaurant is run with. We're already looking forward to the next time!

A great evening lies behind us. Our expectations were exceeded. Thank you very much 🙏

Zitat Michelin Guide: (…)“Der Service ist freundlich und ungezwungen, die Köche kommen an den Tisch und erklären charmant die Gerichte. Am besten lernt man die Küche mit dem 9-Gänge-Menü kennen, ein ansprechendes A-la-carte-Angebot gibt es aber auch.“ Ein a la Karte Angebot fanden wir nicht vor. Es gab nur die Wahl zwischen „mit oder ohne Hummer“ was den Preisunterschied von 40 Euro am Ende „für in Tintenfisch versteckten Hummer“ sicher nicht rechtfertigte. Aber von vorne: Der Empfang war zuvorkommend. Die Einrichtung wirkt kühl, nicht einladend und gemütlich. Akustisch herausfordernd. Eine Unterhaltung am Tisch schwierig, vor allem mit der Geräuschkulisse von Zapfanlage und Kaffeemaschine im Rücken. Auf dem Tisch eine Pflanze mit trockenen Blätter und ein hektisch blinkender Weihnachtsbaum im Sichtfeld. Das Personal war nicht vollends mit der Menu Karte vertraut.Hatte wohl vor kurzem erst gewechselt und das Tagesgeschäft wird wohl auch mit viel wechselndem Personal beschickt. Eine einheitliche Kleidung, vor allem beim Schuhwerk würde das Bild runder erscheinen lassen. Die Vorstellung der Weine und Speisen war sehr schnell runtergeleiert und aufgrund der Akustik schwerlich zu verstehen. Der 1. Gang, Reh Tartar, wurde als wagyu Rind vorgestellt und auf Nachfrage wurde erklärt, dass es wohl im vorher gehenden menu Rind war, es nun aber Reh sei, gemischt mit Rind. So what. Der Gang war so übersäuert, dass man eh nicht schmecken konnte um welches Fleisch es sich handelt. Der 1.Gang sollte der perfekte Einstieg in das Menu sein und Lust auf mehr machen. In diesem Fall führte es dazu, dass wir fast den Ausstieg gewählt hätten. Die Jakobsmuscheln im 2. Gang - so schien es - war in der Lage das Ruder rumzudrehen: sie ahnen es, leider nein. Die Krabbe mit Umami war ok. Auf meine Tomaten Allergie wurde geachtet. Dim Sum werden laut Nachfrage a la Minute zubereitet, ein paar Sekunden mehr hätten nicht geschadet. Der Teig war „noch trocken“ eher als ob sie schon etwas angetrocknet waren, weil sie vorbereitet werden. Der Hummer hatte sich elegant in einem Tintenfisch versteckt. Geschmacklich ok. Den Mehrpreis im Menu sicherlich nicht wert. Ein gekleckerter faux pax auf dem Tisch wurde erst auf Nachfrage entfernt. Der Supergau sollte sich in Gang sechs ereignen. Die ENTE: Laut Vorstellung wurde die Ente gegrillt mit bissl schickedöns. Die Haut der Ente war labbrig fettig. Die Ente kalt, ließ sich nicht schneiden ohne fast den ganzen Podest artigen Teller über den Tisch zu bugsieren. Die Reklamation wurde mit folgenden Worten entgegen genommen. „möchten sie das ganze nochmal neu ?! Das dauert dann aber…“ Nach einigen Warteminuten wurde uns noch etwas Wein angeboten. Insgesamt hat die Verzögerung mehr als zwanzig Minuten in Anspruch genommen. Der 2. Versuch war dann okay. Es wurde - dies sei positiv erwähnt - auch nochmal nachgefragt, ob nun alles okay sei. Über die restlichen Gänge möchte ich keinerlei Worte verlieren. Insgesamt war der Service sehr bemüht, es wurde aber keine Wohlfühl Atmosphäre geschaffen. Es wirkt, als ob dem ServiceTeam Anleitung fehlt. Das Gespräch mit dem Chef selbst scheint nur ausgewählten Tischen vorbehalten zu sein, so dass wir Jan Fribus nur aus der Entfernung sahen. Und: Gerade wenn man eine kalte, nicht genießbare Ente schickt, ist es nicht Berufsehre, das selbst kurz am Tisch zu erklären und zu bereinigen? Fazit: mehr Schein als Sein. Zu viel gewollt. Und dabei die tollen Einzelkomponenten nicht in Szene gesetzt, sondern mit zu viel verschiedenen Geschmacksrichtungen durcheinander gebracht. Eine ReFa Freundin von mir sagte immer: „Der Gast sollte das Gefühl haben, dass es für ihn der schönste Abend ist.“ Das war es leider nicht. Positiv: Mit der Kintsugi Technik werden Weingläser repariert. Und der junge Mitarbeiter konnte dies direkt erklären. Nachhaltig. Kurz am Rande: Ein trockener Waschtisch wäre schön und aufgefüllte Behälter für Creme etc. ,wenn es angeboten wird, auch. Wir werden nicht wieder kommen. Viel Glück beim Griff nach den Sternen.

Quote Michelin Guide: (…)“The service is friendly and informal, the chefs come to the table and charmingly explain the dishes. The best way to get to know the cuisine is with the 9-course menu, but there is also an attractive à la carte menu.” We didn't find an a la menu offer. There was only the choice between “with or without lobster”, which certainly didn’t justify the price difference of 40 euros in the end “for lobster hidden in squid”. But from the beginning: The reception was courteous. The decor seems cold, uninviting and cozy. Acoustically challenging. It was difficult to have a conversation at the table, especially with the background noise of the tap and coffee machine behind us. On the table there is a plant with dry leaves and a hectically flashing Christmas tree in the field of vision. The staff was not completely familiar with the menu. They had probably only recently changed and the day-to-day business probably involves a lot of changing staff. Uniform clothing, especially footwear, would make the picture appear more rounded. The presentation of the wines and dishes was repeated very quickly and was difficult to understand due to the acoustics. The first course, venison tartar, was presented as wagyu beef and when asked it was explained that it was probably beef in the previous menu, but now it was venison mixed with beef. So what. The course was so acidic that you couldn't taste what meat it was anyway. The first course should be the perfect introduction to the menu and leave you wanting more. In this case it led to us almost choosing to exit. The scallops in second gear - it seemed - was able to turn things around: you guessed it, unfortunately not. The crab with umami was ok. My tomato allergy was taken into account. According to demand, dim sum is prepared a la minute, a few seconds more wouldn't have hurt. The dough was “still dry” more like they had already dried out a bit because they were being prepared. The lobster was elegantly hidden inside an octopus. Taste ok. Certainly not worth the extra cost in the menu. A spilled faux pax on the table was only removed upon request. The worst case scenario was supposed to happen in aisle six. The DUCK: According to the presentation, the duck was grilled with some fancy donuts. The duck's skin was limp and greasy. The duck was cold and couldn't be cut without having to maneuver almost the entire pedestal-like plate across the table. The complaint was received with the following words. “Would you like to do the whole thing again?! But that takes time…” After waiting a few minutes we were offered some more wine. In total, the delay took more than twenty minutes. The second attempt was okay. We also asked again - this should be mentioned positively - whether everything was okay. I don't want to say anything about the rest of the courses. Overall, the service was very attentive, but no feel-good atmosphere was created. It seems as if the service team lacks guidance. The conversation with the boss himself seems to be reserved only for selected tables, so we only saw Jan Fribus from a distance. And: Especially if you send a cold, inedible duck, isn't it professional honor to briefly explain and clear it up at the table? Conclusion: more appearance than reality. Wanted too much. And the great individual components are not showcased, but mixed up with too many different flavors. A ReFa friend of mine always said: “The guest should have the feeling that it is the best evening for them.” Unfortunately that wasn't it. Positive: The Kintsugi technique is used to repair wine glasses. And the young employee was able to explain this directly. Sustainable. As a quick aside: A dry vanity would be nice and filled containers for cream etc., if offered, too. We won't come back. Good luck reaching for the stars.

Without many words!!! Simply 5 star deluxe!!! Definitely worth a star at the entrance!!!! Thank you Jan + family…….

That was the best food I've ever eaten. The balance of the individual elements of each course was incredible and the courses as a whole are perfectly coordinated. Add to that the nice team and beautiful atmosphere, it couldn't be better!

Exceptional in quality, ingenuity and taste. The personal care of the Maitre de Cuisine Fribus and his small team is wonderful. The 9-course menu took us 4 hours, which flew by. Culinary craftsmanship at a star level, where the half-timbered charm of the restaurant easily fades into the background. We'll be back. No question.

We had a very good experience in the restaurant. The dishes were surprising and delicious.

Very good experience and absolutely tasty food!

A wonderful evening... first-class service, great ambience, the food was a poem. Taste explosions in the mouth... fantastic! But calm and not excessive. We would love to come back.

Essen war ganz besonders, Ambiente einladend in einem schönen historischen Stadtkern, sehr nette Bedienung - rundum ein Erlebnis!

It was absolutely worth the experience!!!! We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for a wonderful evening that we will always remember.

We ate here in September and my husband surprised me. It was just incredible. Greatly prepared, very tasteful and unusual ingredients. The evening was also perfect thanks to an incredibly nice team and a very friendly host. We were very enthusiastic. More stars would actually be appropriate here. Unfortunately the route is too far from Frankfurt for a spontaneous meal on Saturday evening...

Everything great. Highly recommended.

Jeder einzelne Gang war eine Reise durch unterschiedliche Aromenwelten. Hervorragend waren die einzelnen Gänge aufeinander abgestimmt. Jeder einzelne war ein Erlebnis. Selten eine so schöne ruhige entspannte Atmosphäre genossen wie dort. Ganz großes Lob an den Service, er war kompetent, entspannt, sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Man musste sich wohlfühlen. Gerne wieder !!!

A very nice evening in a great restaurant! Absolute recommendation for every visitor to Quedlinburg who is interested in culinary delights. Jan Fribus offers Asian-oriented cuisine of the highest quality and a warm service that is rare today in its informality.

By chance we became aware of this treasure in the small town of Quedlinburg. And what a surprise: an incredible culinary world tour at the highest level. We haven't eaten so well yet! Very courteous service, you quickly feel at home in a very tasteful atmosphere. Excellent wine selection for the meal, and the non-alcoholic accompaniment with home-fermented drinks is also excellent. The lobster, the toro, the deer, every course is an increase and a taste explosion. We would like to thank you for an impressive, very special evening!

It was our first time at KIKU - and it definitely won't be the last time. From the first to the last course everything was excellent. Some are even more than excellent!!! He and his team absolutely and more than deserve the star. Jan Fribus is such an authentic and likeable person - his plates absolutely suit him. We chose the juice accompaniment - and we have to say, one of the best we've ever had. Super fitting! Now to the service: warm and also authentic. It was a great evening all around. We felt very comfortable in this beautiful location. And we're more than happy to come back :-)

Food really exclusive and sensational. Not something you do every day, but perfect for special occasions. Every course was an experience and the great drinks added that little something extra. Service was attentive and friendly. Very excited that there is something like this in Quedlinburg!

We really enjoyed the food and wine. Very balanced, excellent taste. Very attentive service. An all-round successful evening.

Excellent dinner! Highly recommended!

Food was excellent Asien Fusion ... but digastive selection did not Match to food at all.

Eine kulinarische Reise ins Reich der Geschmackssinne - manchmal überraschend und manchmal überwältigend. Jan Fribus versteht sich exzellent auf das Hervorbringen des „Wow“-Effekts, ein wunderbares Erlebnis in einem sehr angenehmen Ambiente. Seine persönliche Präsenz und die spannende Schilderung der Kunstwerke auf dem Teller sind ein Erlebnis der Sonderklasse.

Ein besonderer Abend der Extraklasse mit Geschmacksexplosionen und neuen unerwarteten Geschmackserlebnissen. Wir werden es sehr gern wiederholen.

We regularly go out for fine dining, and I would particularly like to emphasize that the host seeks a personal conversation with his guests. Which, apart from general phrases from well-known chefs, is rather rare. We felt very comfortable with Jan Fribus and would love to come back!

I can give a maximum of one point here. I liked the beautifully renovated half-timbered house and the individual courses of the 9-course menu were visually very appealingly arranged. Unfortunately, the taste of the food (with the exception of the first two courses: Tartelette; Toro) did not meet my expectations of fine dining at all. I had the impression that they were trying to impress by combining as many different flavors as possible. However, there was obviously no consideration given to the individual ingredients (e.g. the lobster or the venison steak). At the end, a salty note predominated in most courses, which covered everything up and was probably intended to give the whole thing a Japanese touch. Therefore I canceled the menu with the 8th course. For me, demands and performance are unfortunately disproportionate here.

We found the restaurant completely by chance but to our surprise it was a very happy accident, we had already managed to visit several Michelin star restaurants but this one was special for us. We can only advise everyone to try it, this is exactly what you need if you want something special and unforgettable. The cuisine, the chef, the service and the atmosphere are all 10 and not 5 stars.

The two of us spent a fantastic evening here! Unusual cuisine (Japanese influences), very finely tuned and not too exotic. The wine tour is absolutely recommended!

The restaurant is a bit hidden and central. We would like to thank you very much for the nine-course culinary world tour with wine accompaniment for our wedding anniversary. The wines are excellent and go perfectly with every course. Everything is harmonious and worth the trip. Conclusion: “We’ll be back”

Nun zum zweiten Mal im Kiku, und die Begeisterung lässt nicht nach. Besonders beeindruckend ist der Mut von Jan Fribus, mit starken Aromen zu spielen und die Grenzen der asiatischen Küche zu erweitern. Jedes Gericht war eine harmonische Komposition aus intensiven Geschmäckern und kunstvoller Präsentation. Fribus versteht es meisterhaft, traditionelle asiatische Aromen mit Elementen anderer Küchen zu verschmelzen – so entstand eine aufregende, kreative Symbiose, die nicht nur den Gaumen, sondern auch das Auge erfreut. Die Atmosphäre nicht steif und gekünstelt, sondern modern gemütlich. Auf diesem Niveau das Beste neben dem Speiseberg (Halle) in Sachen-Anhalt. Wir werden uns wiedersehen.

Great small and fine restaurant, very nice boss and good service. A must for every connoisseur! A star deduction for the fact that the waitress didn't understand wine. This should be changed with training, then there would be full points.

Dear Kiku team, On July 27th, 2024 we were able to be guests in your restaurant and would like to thank you in advance for the friendly and uncomplicated contact. About our evening: The welcome was very warm, we were seated quickly and the menu was handed to us quickly. The ambience of the restaurant in a beautiful old half-timbered house is impressive. However, we noticed that the furnishing style didn't always look 100% harmonious - in our opinion, the common thread here wasn't entirely clear. We would like to keep it short and succinct about the food: it was consistently excellent. The dishes were convincing across the board, both in terms of taste and presentation. The portion sizes were more than sufficient. We would particularly like to highlight the San Sebastian cheesecake and the tuna - these two dishes particularly impressed us. We believe that the star for your restaurant based on kitchen performance should be within reach in the coming year. Now to our criticisms: The service was always friendly and helpful, but the explanations about the courses were sometimes a bit poor. This was sometimes due to a language barrier. However, when the chefs explained the courses, the description was detailed and informative. Our biggest point of criticism concerns the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment. Two of the five drinks were served twice, and there was unfortunately no explanation as to why exactly these drinks were chosen for each course. We would have liked more variety and more detailed explanations here. What should be highlighted positively, however, is that all three drinks that we were able to try tasted excellent and were homemade. We wish the entire Kiku team all the best on their way to the Michelin star and are excited about future developments. Best regards Jana and Marcel

sensational in all respects, great, imaginative food, creative drinks, great service and a lovely atmosphere

We had an unforgettable evening at Kiku Restaurant! With our reservation we ordered the full 9 course menu including drinks. The food was of the highest standard and absolutely equivalent to the dishes from well-known star restaurants in the area. Each course had its own special feature. We really noticed that the small team (only 4 people) authentically cares about the very personal care of the guests. The extraordinary food offers a journey through the stages of the young chef's life, who knows how to make each dish its own attraction. This almost inconspicuous restaurant in Quedlinburg is rightly recommended by the Gaude Michelin! We'll definitely be back!

Wir haben einen Abend zu zweit im Kiku verbracht und waren Wiederholungstäter. Am Ambiente hat sich leider noch nichts weiter verändert, was dem Essen sicherlich nicht schadet, jedoch passt die Bar/Theke so rein gar nicht zu dem restlichen Stil. Die Begrüßung war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Als Karte bekommt man 2 lose Zettel in die Hand gedrückt. Einmal für das Menü und einmal die Gtränkekarte. Das fanden wir etwas zu lieblos. Wir haben uns für das große Menü entschieden und haben aber auf die Weinbegleitung verzichtet, da hier die vorgeschlagenen Weine eher „normale bekannte Weine“ für uns waren. Alle Gerichte waren handwerklich und geschmacklich sehr gut zubereitet und lassen wirklich drauf hoffen, dass Quedlinburg bald ein Sternerestaurant hat. Das für uns neue Personal im Service ist noch etwas unsicher aber hat sehr gutes Potential ! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und auch als wir die letzten Gäste waren wurden wir bis zum letzten Wunsch wirklich gut bedient. Warum nicht 5 Sterne ? 5 Sterne heißt Perfekt und wir denken etwas Luft nach oben ist noch da. Und das Personal braucht noch etwas Schulung. Auch wenn Fragen zu dem jeweiligen Gang sind, sollten sie in den meisten Fällen durch die Kellner erklärt werden können, das war bei uns leider nicht der Fall. Aber wir denken das bekommt noch hin. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder und können einen Besuch nur empfehlen !

Fine dining that deserves at least 2 Michelin Stars !!! We came in late and very spontaneously. Jan prepared pan-seared local venison in an au jus sauce with pumpkin purée. Juli offered excellent service and perfect wine pairing. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, they served us San Sebastián cheesecake and fermented plum sorbet. Jan and Juli saved our night and we will come back to enjoy the full menu. We felt overwhelmed by their enormous hospitality. When in Quedlinburg, YOU HAVE TO GO !!

One does not expect to find a Michelin recommended restaurant in sleepy Quedlinburg, but Kiku has more than earned this distinction. The restaurant is housed in a half-timbered building, many centuries old, which somehow blends perfectly with the comfortable modern interior. The food is a revelation, the highest quality, but still somehow comforting in a way that elevated tasting menus rarely are. A current highlight is the locally-sourced venison as well as the Sebastian cheesecake and fermented plum sorbet. Above all, it is the personal touch of Jan Fribus And his enormous hospitality that make this place, the rarest match of sophistication and warmth. The Michelin guide may have beat me to it, but I could not recommend this place more highly.

9-course menu with wine accompaniment. Our summary: fantastic and imaginative, dreamlike, completely harmonious with a praline highlight at the successful end. We felt well looked after and comfortable. A wonderful gourmet experience in a stylish ambience.

Super tasty, innovative food and great hosts!

We were there for the first time and were thrilled, the food was delicious and we also thought the price was right. It is only recommended 👍👍👍

Chic atmosphere with interesting variations of Japanese and international cuisine

This beautiful small restaurant deserves a visit. The food is excellent and served in a very artistic way and the service is friendly, efficient and discreet. We had a great experience with the full menu paired with the wine menu/alcohol free menus and left satisfied but not too full.

It's an unusual restaurant. There were a few misunderstandings because of the service staff's poor knowledge of German. But they were very friendly and tried hard. The food was delicious, the wine recommendation was very good.
