Kiku Tempura House [20]

"Kiku was actually a hidden gem. Who knew that Kiku would be the place that would heap food onto my plate." - Mike McEvoy

Kiku has a great menu. A lot of combinations could be found. You could get chicken thighs on the bone with chi ken katsu (Becky Riggers: "Not to be confused with chicken Kitsu." (Kitsu being Becky's new puppy.)) Kiku it tucked away up north just past 50th. The food was a good quantity and it filled Mike up. That is a huge deal to Mike. 2 hours after he ate (when Mike would typically start another meal) he was still full!

There is still something, however, holding Mike back. He wants to give it a good score, but he thinks it was comparable to a first date. A first date that goes surprisingly well. After all is said is done, you don't remember what you talked about, you only remember that you felt good when you left. Mike wants to make sure that his current infatuation isn't blinding his better judgement. He wants to get past this phase and find out more of this Kiku. (Thank you Mike Gaffney for the relationship wheel.)
