Kiu Japanese Restaurant in Markham

Surprisingly good, and its not your typical Japanese restaurant that serves the same dishes like everywhere else. Its located on 2nd floor near Cineplex. Theres an underground parking for those looking for a warmer parking spot.

Ramen is finally back!!!! Waited 10 years :) lunch time only

They have brought back the ramen here which is very tasty however the loud rap music that was playing did not suit the restaurant. We had asked the waitress if they could turn the music down as we could not hear each other above the loud music and she seemed apologetic and went to turn it down. About 5 minutes later, the music was turned up even louder and an obscene rap song was playing. If you want a nice meal in a lovely atmosphere, then dont come to this restaurant. We used to love coming to this restaurant but our last experience has soured that.

I waited for an hour for one udon, for one reason and another, and finally gave up after eating the meal for an hour and a half. Waited for half an hour for dessert. Super rubbish, will not come again

Everything about this place sets a wonderful mood. Hanson was amazing with his attentiveness and his recommendations from the winter menu. He was also very knowledgeable about our dietary restrictions. I can t wait to come back here for dinner.

One of the best Japanese cuisines in town and with indoor parking that gets you straight up to the floors there are no better choices especially when it s cold outside.

Food was exceptionally great & Hanson and everyone else were extremely friendly & helpful. Would highly recommend it to anyone Food

Review is strictly on the new Koi Kaiseki seasonal menu - 3.5 stars. Since there is a promotion for their new menu, we decided to give this place a try. Perhaps there was too much hype and Instagram advertisements but I was disappointed with some of the dishes. Typically I would take photos of all the dishes but I was just not impressed. Key points: 1. The A5 waygu and eggplant has one slice of waygu (so thin it looks like what you use in hot pot). 2. The sashimi pieces were fresh but small (see photo, radish is the same size as the sashimi). Im also shocked that the torched fish on the Sushi plate were so thin. 3. Fried salmon dish - salmon tasted fishy, however, my boyfriends piece was fine. The mushrooms have no seasoning or taste. 4. Lamb was good. I think some people might find it a bit too gamey though. 5. Tamago soup is basically Chinese egg drop soup with miso paste. 6. Cheesecake dessert was the highlight, delicious! 7. You wont leave hungry, very filling meal. 8. Music was blasting, can barely hear.

Used to come here regularly, probably 2-3 times a month. They recently changed their menu and got rid of their noodles options (udon and ramen) for dinner. Dissapointed about that change and have never been back since. Hope they will bring it back in the future. Will go elsewhere until then

Agreed with the latest review from Joyce. Got the set menu and only 1 of 7 dish came after an hour of waiting before we called it quits . Definitely do not come as it s a waste of time until further resolved

Don t believe the recent positive reviews or the instagram hype. This restaurant is a disaster under new management. Arrived on Friday night with 3 adults and a toddler to try to 7 course Koi special at 5:30pm and couldn t leave until around 8. Food arrived quickly initially, but as the restaurant got busier, the food stopped coming. Waited 1 hour between course 4 and 5. None of the staff came over to check on our table until we started to complain. While waiting for our food, was told by the hostess to vacate our table because another party was waiting. We didn t get to enjoy the rest of the meal because my toddler was crying from waiting too long for dinner to finish. Had to get the rest of the meal packed and was offered a discount on the meal. The tables beside us had it worse because they either only received one dish or not any at all. The food itself is mediocre. It s obvious the new management and owners are cutting corners to maintain their profit margins. Fish quality is lower than the previous Kiu and the Koi tasting menu clearly did not have toro. They obviously did not have enough staff either as we were essentially ignored as the place became busier. If you value your time, don t come here. This restaurant is done unless they shape up.

I ve been a regular at this restaurant for many years and it has been a solid 4~ However, it looks like there has been a major management change because I arrived for the grand opening today apparently and they ve now changed their entire menu which is much more expensive while the quality of the food tastes pretty much the same. I ordered the Atlantic salmon which looked great on plate but there was just not much there. I also had a quesy stomach after 30-40 mins which didn t sit well. It also took almost an hour for them to serve and actually missed a sushi dish which they did apologize but it was awkward because we waited so long that the server thought we wanted to pay for the bill when we just wanted our final dish to come. Overall, I don t think I ll be coming back as often as I did.

Not recommended at all.. The sushi quality is disappointing and the slices are very thin. At this price point, I could find much better options elsewhere, and it feels overpriced

I ve been here many times for lunch, and it never disappoints. This spot consistently provides a relaxing, quiet atmosphere with a stunning view that enhances the dining experience every time. The pricing is very reasonable considering the quality of the food and ambiance truly a great value for what you receive. Highly recommended for a satisfying and peaceful lunch!

The server told that they have new owner and new chef. I m sorry I have been to Kiu since day one. When I came back from vacation. Everything has changed. Previous servers and mangers were friendly, attentive now those server has no soul, lazy, lack of knowledge of your menu. Food portion cut half. You can see the sashimi, the thickness is half size compare last chef. Scallop using small size cut in half, but counted you as two for one tiny scallop. Pork chop rice, they is overcooked. Rice soft like cheese cake and extremely salty. We Spent 200 with tips. But server didn t even say Thank you. If I don t come that time. I guess you don t have that 20 dollars tips. This is my last time. Say goodbye to kiu.

Environment and service are okay but their food are average and definitely overpriced, one pieces of salmon selling for $3.5. A salmon bowl selling for $35(only 4 pieces Salmon with few ikura and rice ), sushi roll was too small than some ayce restaurant. I won t recommend this place

Been here both before and after the the menu change, and to be honest, I like the new menu more but I feel like the servers arent good anymore, and the FOH manager is even more useless than the previous one. From managers to servers, everyone lacks experience and enthusiasm. None of them know how to serve and treat their customers right, including the manager. Food was pretty decent though IMO, but the lack of service makes me not wanting to go back, especially with the price hike and inattentive servers/ managers!

We had a terrible dining experience last night. The new management need to work very hard to improve their customer services and food quality with this expensive menu. We were sitting in a dining area that has no lighting (According to the staff, the lighting was broken and needs repair), they provided us with one tea light candle to begin with but there was no way you can read the menu. After we requested, they provided a few more tea light candles but tea light candles doesn t last the whole night and it burnt out very quick, unfortunately, the restaurant was out of these tea light candles, at the end we have to eat in the dark and cant even see what we were eating. The staff offered us to change another dining table, however, we need to finish our meal in ONE HOUR (of course we didnt accept this offer as we are planning to celebrate a birthday). Furthermore, if you bring your outside cake to this restaurant, there is an additional $15 cake fee (which we found out after we were in the restaurant, they didn t even refrigerate the cake). By the way, we feel very sorry for the staff, she kept on apologizing many times but her boss just hiding behind and never come over to our table to apologies or explain to us the incident. Good Luck new KIU and we miss the OLD KIU.

Girl at the front desk is super cute and polite.

I really liked the food and service was spectacular and very attentive. Cocktails were top notch. Vibes were 10/10. Definite improvement with the new menu and food quality

The food was delicious and Aya is amazing and helpful. Her recommendations were perfect. I can t wait to go back for dinner.

This was the best Japanese food I ever had. Our server Aya told us the chefs are trained to cook with French techniques. We loved it. Especially the BC black cod and the Lamb. Aya was so attentive with what we needed, definitely an upgrade in management. We can t wait to come back. I hope Aya is our server again.

Thank you Aya for her quick and helpful service. She was also lovely to talk to and i cant wait to try the udon carbonara next time i come in! I had the baked oysters and nigiri plate and the fish was so fresh. Food

My experience at Kiu was pretty amazing. My favs were the Tuna hand roll and the tepagyoza but honestly what s really great is just the service. Nice staff (Esp Aya she s great). Just due to the location with the theatres and such I feel like it s a great date night spot. Would recommend!

Food was very good, presentation and service were amazing. Aya was very informative about the seasonal dishes and made the experience very enjoyable. The atmosphere and layout of the restaurant was very beautiful.

Great food and service. Raijin always provides great service.

First time trying this place and the quality of the food and fish knocked it out of the park. Favorite item we had was the oshi, even if its simple you just cant go wrong with it. Our server Raijin was very helpful and had great recommendations, and we had a lovely chat too. Overall I would definitely come back again.

Our go to drink and food spot in Markham for a few years now! Raijin has such a warm presence and always gives the best recommendations for drinks! The new menu is incredibly delicious and I m already planning my next visit

First of all our server Raijin is the best server my partner and I have had in over 10 years! He had great suggestions, understanding our interests and providing a great experience we wish to enjoy again! Best place for a romantic night with your partne, the food the drink the service the atmosphere the everything combined will make it not only a night to remember and cherish but incentive to return for more! This deserves a permanent 5 star rating for both our server Raijin and the whole restaurant being Kiu!!!!!

This was definitely a five star experience from the moment we sat down, our waiter was very informative on helping us decipher different names of sushi, and what not and the sushi and sashimi were basically melting in our mouth. The atmosphere was nice with music playing and dim lights, the appetizer the entrée and the dessert all came exactly the right timing, if I could give this place 10 star I would I feel like this is Mark s best kept secret whenever you try to ask for the waiter named Raijin

It was good experience.

Great service by Hanson

Great food and Taiga provided great service and an overall good experience. Get the ramen!

We had dinner in the restaurant today. The waiter Hanson served us. He was enthusiastic and kind, and introduced the season special of the day. The food was exquisite and delicious, and the service was also a good experience. It was very comfortable to have dinner here. I will definitely dine here again.

Great food overall, the lamb chops were one of the best!

Check your receipts! We were double charged for tips! We asked the server if tips were included on our bill and were told it was not, so we tipped on top. When we got home and reviewed the receipt, it showed that gratuity was already added. When we returned to inquire, the manager said that gratuity is not tip and refused to return our tip initially until much arguing.

Tuna is not fresh. Almost black colour. Chef was trying to make up an excuse. Service is decent. Atmosphere is good. But food quality is very bad. Whoever came up with the idea to serve black tuna for 3 dollars as a promotion should not be in this industry.

Came back again as my friend told me that this restaurant changed the management team and the sushi chef. We were sitting at the bar and the sushi chef Geoff was helping us out. He used to work at other omakasa restaurants, so the sushi he made was definitely great. Its definitely a great experience with great price along with great view and omakasa quality. See previous review: Horrible experience and defining not coming back. Unsure of they changed the sushi chef, as the rice was horrible. Uni was also very over priced, $50 for 1 tiny piece of uni. Used to be a regular client, but never coming back again. Ps: I brought up my concern to the manager, he said he will give me a dessert for free, which I didnt take the offer.

I think I got food poisoning after last nights dinner here. The grilled BC black cod with scallops was served cool to the touch. I mentioned it, and while I said it was fine, the waitress, who was very nice, still took it off the bill. Unfortunately, I still got sick, either from that dish or something else I ate there. I had stomach pain for a few hours afterwards. Cant see myself returning. Ive been here many times before, and it was okay. Maybe because of the new menu, half the items we tried to order were out of stock, so it feels like theyre trying to run through old inventory, which is probably what I ended up eating. Hope nobody else got sick last night other than me and my friend.

Used to come here all the time and was great, had a great bar setup as well, came here to see the new management and tv isn t working, still no Asahi on draft after multiple weeks, menu is lacking previous items such as karage and ramen which ramen is only on the lunch menu apparently. Hope they get it together soon this place was awesome before.

Update September 2024. Food is still delicious, however the menu has changed, there are less items, portions are smaller and it became much more expensive. There are more special effects to the food, to make it more instagramable than innovation. Unfortunately taking one star down and hoping the place wont downgrade further. Old review: Hands down the best sushi place in Canada (at least). After living in Japan for some time I lost all hope in finding good sushi in Toronto. Boy you wont regret eating sushi at Kiu, its a special experience. Chefs are the worlds best and prices for the food you get are w are all over the place, but food overshadows the this.

Would happily rate this place 5 stars but with the new menu effective September 2024, it s one star. I checked my visa and prior to the menu change we ve been here 17 times in the last 12 months with a total spend of $3,350. Now the new menu is restricted to ramen and donburi. No rolls, no sushi, and they have removed most of the great items they had down to two salads and a karage. I don t know what they were thinking. I guess times are tough and they are focused on the ramen and donburi crowd exclusively. Escalated the feedback to the manager when we saw the new menu and it was to no avail. They were very rigid in their thinking. It s a shame, this was one of our favourites. If you have a Time Machine, use it and go back here prior to the menu change because it was honestly five stars and had some of the best cuisine. Such a shame.

The service is nice , but the table is too tiny for the plates. The sushi is tasty. Dessert is yummy: warm,creamy,not too sweet. The 2 kind of soups and Sashimi salad are ok. However I am so disappointed with sashimi samplers and the grilled New Zealand lamb. Sashimi is chewy. The waiter told me there are 4pcs lamb will be served, But end up 3 pcs overcooked and burnt lamb on the plate: very dry and bitter.

Loved the service. The servers were top tier. The sushi was the best part. We also had the black cod, the chicken and salmon. These were OK.

This is a restaurant with very innovative dishes. Generally speaking, they are delicious, the prices are not expensive, the presentation is beautiful, the service is warm, and it is a great dining experience. I personally like to go to aka oni in the past, and will frequent this restaurant in the future. The price/performance ratio is better than aka oni. Yuzi Fried Prawns: Very plump and juicy, not greasy Scalop: The presentation is beautiful, and there are fish roe garnishes on it. Cod: The price is not cheap, but the sauce is very fragrant and the fish is fresh Fried chicken: Fried chicken is different in each season. This season, it is Japanese-style fried chicken covered with purple cabbage, which is refreshing and not greasy. Dessert: Seasonal limited dessert box, the maple leaves inside are made of biscuits, very crispy and fragrant. Mud is chocolate chip and pistachio ice cream

my fiancée and i had a wonderful dinner experience at kiu. we ordered the shishito peppers, calamari, and 8pc pressed sushi. the shishitos were the surprise highlight of the meal - perfectly grilled and perfectly paired with the sauce. a special shoutout to the bar and our bartender for the night zhen - the drinks were phenomenal and mine even came with a beautiful carved ice flower!

We came here for a birthday celebration in the VIP room with karaoke. Minimum spend was $1000. We came to the reception, one of us had a coffee in hand. They stopped us and said no outside drinks allowed but can keep the drink at the bar then we can take it after. Look, I understand the policy but we booked the VIP room and would be spending $1000 minimum. We ignored it as it doesnt seem like a big deal to bring 1 coffee to a VIP room. So we walked in with the drink and the bartender also stopped us and explained the same policy. After explaining our rationale, they let us in, but it already created a less than pleasant experience. We ended up spending $17xx while ordering a $150 bottle of sake. Food was mediocre. Also the karaoke machine does not work as it needs to download some songs that are on the cloud, the wifi was terribly slow, it took 2hrs to download 4% of 1 song. Needless to say we couldnt even use the karaoke as we wanted. Used to come here a lot before the management changed and menu changes. Can honestly say we will not be coming back.

I ve been a loyal customer of Kiu for years, but the recent changes to the menu and management have been extremely disappointing. The new menu is unappealing, with smaller portions that make the prices seem unreasonable for a main course. To make matters worse, the service was terrible. Four of us had already finished our meals while two others were still waiting for theirs. Despite repeatedly asking about our food, no one seemed to care. Kiu used to be a favorite, but with these changes, I don t think I ll be returning.

One of the unfortunate updates to the menu was the removal of ramen, udon, and Don (rice) dishes, which I used to enjoy. The brandy prawn, priced at $35, was particularly disappointing. The server mentioned there would be 5 pieces, but when the dish arrived, there were only 4, and the shrimp were extremely small. I also couldn t taste any brandy flavor. The shrimp heads were deep-fried, but they tasted like they had been prepared hours ago they were cold, stale, and lacked the crispiness you d expect from something freshly fried. Overall, the quality did not justify the high price point, and I left feeling extremely disappointed. For what they re charging, I expected much more.

The food was very tasty, with exceptional plating and garnishes. With unique flavours infused in every plate, we enjoyed many dishes. We tried the Nigiri; the fish were fresh and tasty, and the Beef Tataki is also delicious with refreshing sauce. Other recommendations are the Baked Oysters, and the Shiso Scallop Geno is worth the try as well! Very nice service around the restaurant, staff and the calm atmosphere elevated the dining experience. Definitely recommend!

there s obviously been an upgrade to the establishment as i was incredibly impressed with the quality of the service & the food here at Kiu. Aya, the new manager, has been a joy to talk to! The staff took care of us and I felt very content in this space. i will definitely be back for more as they continue to introduce new dishes to their menu. 5/5 stars, very memorable. - a very satisfied foodie.

New management, ownership, staff, chefs, totally different, totally good still... Trying very hard at the moment to re-attract the prior clientele Same decor no reno-- Some dishes very creative eg wagyu tart with fish eggs and gold leaf, which actually was quite good Fried scallops and calamari app were also winners Sushi fish, eg hamachi, slightly less fresh than with the previous kiu incarnation....

The food is well prepared and a pretty good price. I really recommend the wagyu, it has mint and edible gold fragments on it, it melts in your mouth and it tastes buttery. Also, get your edamame beer soaked, it tastes better. I will come back here again

Not really worth. Two people ordering a main and sharing an app resulted in the bill being 100. I get that the place might be a bit more fancier than others but the food is just mediocre so not worth the price. The curry udon I ordered had an egg but the yolk wasn t even runny, and wouldn t even slide off my chopsticks. In addition they ask for your name and phone number just to sit a table in person. I get that some places need it for reservations to contact but why for just walk it? I asked the hostess why they needed it and she replied just to set up a table for you. She didn t directly answer seeing how they truly didn t need the name and phone number. I had to request a server in the end to get it removed from their system. Nowadays I guess restaurants are getting away with collecting your personal information without even terms or conditions to read and agree, kinda disappointing.

Food is alright, but I dont know whats going on with the management. It seems like everything is constantly changing. One of my friends got harassed by the sushi bar chef (?) about a year ago here.

Great sushi and ramen place with underground parking. Right next to Good life and Cineplex. Great service, good food, good selection. Individual washroom stalls. Food is always good, ramen used to be Ishin but now its still good. Todays sushi was a bit disappointing though, the rice was hard as if it was a day old. But overall good restaurant

I ve been going to the gym next door for years, but I ve never once stepped foot inside here until now and I can say that I was quite pleasantly surprised. This place exceeded my expectations. Service, food and atmosphere were stellar. They have a delicious set meal for 1 or 2 right now and the options are solid. The udon was absolutely delicious. I will definitely come again in the future.

Amazing experience at Kiu Japanese Restaurant with my buddy! We both ordered the $45 set dinner, and we both enjoyed the food thoroughly! :) We did have to wait a long time for the food to come out, but we did not mind the wait at all! :) The restaurant was also proactive and gave us an appetizer and both of us drinks on the house! Amazing experience! :)

My family and I decided to try this restaurant for the first time after reading the several reviews. The restaurant itself was nice and clean. The ramen and udon was flavourful. The shrimp tempura was big in size and 3 pieces came on the plate. Overall a mediocre experience and a bit overpriced. The service was rather slow so it isn t a 5 star experience. But nice to try and experience for myself :)

Service is kind but slow! Food is very nice. Torches salmon and crab maki is made very well. Tuna tartare lacked flavour so wouldn t recommend. Hot matcha latte is well made, highly recommend!

We went to Kiu this past weekend to celebrate our 5th wedding anniversary. The miso soup was amazing; the broth was so tasty so it reminded me of the soup we got in Japan. I only wish it had some enoki mushrooms and some small cubes of tofu and then it would have been perfect. We got the jumbo shrimp tempura (they were huge) and this was wonderful; a light crispy batter that was perfectly cooked (not greasy). We ordered a sashimi combo and the fish was so tasty and fresh; it was excellent. We also ordered some Japanese Uni (tasty, but not worth $20 per piece), unagi was excellent (reminded me of when we were in Japan) and Otoro (tuna belly). I was very pleased that we got a table by the window, as it was a nicer view to celebrate our anniversary. We were fortunate to have Jack as our server( bill said Alex). He was extremely polite and helpful; he provided excellent service and was very knowledgeable. We tried the scotch sampler and were told they offered 3 single malt scotches, but they had a pure malt, which we were told was a blend of scotches. As it turns out the Japanese say a pure malt if a blend of single malts, so it isn t just different blends. You do pay a premium price, but we thought the sushi and service were definitely worth it. If you like AYCE, because you want to pay less, then you shouldn t go here. Parking: Since Kiu is in the same complex as the Markham Cinema, there is lots of parking underground and above ground.

not as expected

Started to revisit Kiu again and happy to see an updated menu that everybody can enjoy. The vegan items are clearly listed - I ve had the edamame, udon and ramen. I appreciate the clarity of the menu, the variety of the vegan dishes available, and the professional servers. Everybody from the staff, the chefs (as seen in the open kitchen) and the server assistants are impeccably attentive to hospitality. It is a welcoming experience from beginning to end and best of all it s conveniently beside cineplex and it s nice enough to bring guests for a special dinner/event.

Male waiter was very nice and friendly, even interacted with the baby at the end! Very cute!

Sushi quite fresh. The other dishes are average for the price tag. Parking: On F2 near theatre Kid-friendliness: High chairs available Wheelchair accessibility: Has automatic door opener

Celebrated a birthday and the server surprised us with a lovey dessert for the special birthday girl.

We had the best experience at Kiu! From the moment I walked in I loved the interior and the atmosphere of the restaurant. We enjoyed the food a lot and it took very fast to come out, and the staff were wonderful, attentive and friendly! Highly recommend!!

Loved the food, atmosphere and the staff were nice. I ordered a cocktail and it was really delicious and trendy with a slice of candy And a thin slice of lemon. Food was great, had some sushi and chicken karaage. My friends and I had a great time. I would definitely go back.

Food is meh, service is horrible. Sushi is not worth it, snow crab? NAH it s imitation crab! Alvina messed up our order and the resolution was terrible. If she can t remember what we ordered, either write it down next time or check back again with us to confirm you got the items right. We came at 8pm, appetizers were served slowly. Even before 9pm the appetizers plates were cleared away and we were just waiting. You saw us waiting there for >25 mins after appetizers and didn t even check on us if we want anything else or if we were waiting for something?? After checking and confirming she missed our order, the food came out with cold sushi rice and food was clearly made in a rush. She brought out an extra salmon roll on the house but we didn t ask for it and didn t want it. Instead of bringing out something we didn t ask for, a better resolution would be to ask if we wanted desserts on the house or maybe do a 10% off. The extra roll went to waste. IT GETS WORSE. At 9:30 even before finishing our food that came out only 10 mins ago, the server came to tell us the restaurant was closed and rushed us to pay the bill before we were even done. TERRIBLE SERVICE, it s okay to mess up the order BUT AT LEAST HAVE BETTER RESOLUTION?? We didn t even get to finish the food but food was ugh anyways

Dishes are a bit hit or miss and with a wide variety of pricing/quality. The sashimi, although fairly pricey, was very good. Some of the other mains were more typical. Our server Alvina was amazing. Overall a good experience.

Me and my friends (total 7) went there for dinner, and everybody complained for the overprice considered the quality and quantity. I ordered 9 pcs sashimi for $37.99, and he gave me cheap tuna flesh, yellow tail, and scallop. I didnt see any good parts. Even the portion of Ramen was only a half of that of served in authentic ramen restaurants in North York area. Price must be balanced with quality and quality. Nobody will go back to this ripped-off place.

Sushi is great

amazing service and great food and drinks, everyone was so courteous, even those who werent serving us. I will definitely recommend to anyone and will be going back there in the future. great location in downtown markham

Went there for Easter. Was very pleased it was open and pleased with both food & service. We had eggplant agedashi, chirashi & katsu don. Everything was good. And prices were reasonable. Staff was attentive with our kids. Parking: Restaurant is inside a mall with plenty of parking lots around Kid-friendliness: Provided drawing & pencils. Have high chair

Food is VERY expensive for what you get. I even got a sampler style food arrangement that allowed the chef to make whatever they wanted. Shrimp tempura with tartar style sauce? Really? No creativity. The service was very good though. They need to adjust their pricing for the quality of food...

Amazing Snow Crab Avocado

The service, taste and atmosphere were all the best. I will definitely come back, Thank u !

Best sushi I ve had in Markham. It s expensive but worth it. We only ate nigiri with some edamame to start. The edamame were excellent quality. Sushi standouts were the salmon belly, hamachi, hotate, and otoro. Melt-in-your-mouth fish with light and fluffy rice. Outstanding.

Celebrated a birthday and this restaurant exceeded my expectations

I walked by and randomly decided to order take out from this restaurant and it was the best decision I made today! The front desk person was so helpful and friendly in assisting in my order. The food was very well packaged and was made quickly to order. By the time I arrived home - the food was still hot and super delicious! I m excited to come back with friends for dine in. Especially after this very wonderful experience ordering take out - I can only imagine how great their dine in service will be!

Wow! What a fantastic food experience! Kui is an intimate space offering elevated Japanese food, we have visited twice since our first time! The service presentation and food was exquisite. We will be back!

This place seems to build high expectations due to its fantastic interior, classy ambiance, and somewhat higher prices, as most reviews suggest. I want to give a shout-out to the head chef here, along with all the mentioned aspects. Hes skilled, professional, and brings out amazing recipes with seasonal ingredients. His long-honed expertise and rich experience shine through in the food. Its a go-to spot for me, and I always bring loved ones when they visit.

I was there for a business luncheon & great service and great food!

Always passed by this place but never went inside. Today I decided it was about time to try it out. Ladies and gentlemen it is a bombastic restaurant. Literally everything is fire. The service, decor, and most importantly the customer service. Ordered a few dishes from the menu and everything tasted like Kyoto. I felt like godzilla mashing down the karage, torched sushi, rice bowl, and that God sent Strawberry parfait.. Skip the gym and eat here. Thank you for having me and my wife today.

Delicious food, great service and cool vibe.

My fiance and I had a really lovely lunch at Kiu, it was to celebrate our anniversary and early Valentine s Day. Kiu s staff went above and beyond to make this lunch special for us by providing Prosecco on the house and a hand written card (so sweet!) We got the meal set for 2 and it came with fresh sashimi chefs choice, sushi and udon. The food was amazing and the staff were so friendly. We are lactose intolerant and the dessert was ice cream so we asked if there were any alternatives. We received the watashi cake set and it was the most cutest dessert filled with yummy red bean filling and chewy mochi. 10/10 - chefs kiss for the entire experience. We had an amazing time and will definitely come back!

When we went to the place at night, the staff was slow, and we had to call them. The atmosphere was horrible since the sushi chef dragged the garbage bag in front of us, which was so unclean. The Udon that was ordered was super salty. I felt like it was not worth the price, and I was disgusted by the cleanliness.

Our first time for our sons 16th birthday. We were welcomed with a sweet birthday card on the table. He was so happy. Great experience. We will be back!!

Really awesome place! Friendly, great service and amazing food!

I recently visited here for lunch and had a rather disappointing experience. Despite arriving at the restaurant at 2:15, well within the lunchtime last call mentioned at 2:15 on their closing time of 3:00, I found no staff at the front desk. After waiting for three minutes, a server finally noticed me at 2:18. I expressed my interest in dining, but to my dismay, at 2:20, I was informed that walk-ins were not accepted, only takeout. Given that I had driven for an hour and arrived during the last call, it was disheartening to be turned away without any prior acknowledgment. To add to the frustration, it was pouring rain outside, making the option of takeout impractical. This experience, combined with the lack of timely service, left me feeling unwelcome and frustrated. The manager doesn t listen to my feedback at all, so I have no idea how to convey my disappointing experience.

I feel that the price/performance ratio is not very high

The Worst restaurant, nothing to say

I am deeply disappointed by the disrespectful attitude of your staff and the unwelcoming atmosphere at your restaurant. Restaurant operates based on quality and customer satisfaction. Arguing with customers instead of providing solutions reflects poorly on your service. I have heard people get turned away because of your service. It is unfortunate that it s a +1 now. Hey Kiu, That was quick reply, I do hope you put this kinda effort on serving your customers in the restaurant. But hey seriously, favoritism and leniency , these are very strong and subjective accusations you are using here. Are you sure this is appropriate to describe your customers? Worst PR on google I have ever seen so far. Your reply is childish and goofy. Some continue education will help you learn to be professional and polite, trust me it worth the investment! Good luck and wish you a good holiday :)

they have the worst service with the highest price

One of the best Japanese restaurants in the city.

Beautiful lunch on Christmas Day.

Good service and food is good.

Worst experience ever, they said they open till 10pm, but started from 9PM, they said they closed

Delicious food, nice atmosphere, great service. Located inside the Markham VIP complex (beside the GoodLife). Fish tasted fresh and portions were decent, can be on the pricier side but honestly, seems on par with what youre getting.

I recently visited Kiu which the location and environment presents itself as a high-end Japanese dining experience. Regrettably, both the service and the food quality did not meet the expected standards at all for such a price point. Comparable Japanese restaurants nearby offer way better quality and portions at a more reasonable cost, suggesting that 3/4 of the price at Kiu food is charged to the ambiance rather than the food and service. My family chose Kiu for a celebratory dinner, having previously dined there for lunch a few months earlier. On this occasion, the restaurant was only half full, yet the service was notably poor and inefficient. For instance: There was a noticeable delay and lack of attention when we requested a fork for my son since he couldnt use chopsticks. Despite asking two waiters, I eventually had to approach another staff member directly. Two of our orders, Beef Tataki and Salmon Maki, were forgotten. After inquiring multiple times and waiting for over 20 minutes, we asked to cancel these dishes due to the lengthy delay. Surprisingly, they were then promptly served as they were ready in the kitchen but not delivered to our table. Additionally, the Beef Tataki had an unusual sour taste, and when I mentioned this while paying, my feedback was met with an eye roll and dismissive attitude. While I am usually generous with tips, reflecting the quality of food and service, I limited my tips to 10% on this occasion, feeling even this was generous under the circumstances. Unfortunately, this seemed to offend the staff, as evidenced by her reaction. I believe that for Kiu to truly embody the high-end dining experience it advertises, yet significant improvements in both food quality and service are required.

Food was amazing especially the toro aburi, so yummy. Our server was amazing, and we loved her suggestions. Ambiance was lovely! Will definitely be returning.

The sushi here is absolutely delicious! Every single piece had so much flavour. A bit on the expensive side but definitely worth every penny. They torch the sushi at your table which is a fun experience. We got a bunch of different dishes to share which included: Takoyaki, Jumbo Shrimp Tempura, the Oshi 15 pieces mixed which had 3 pieces each of Toro, ebi, hotate, salmon & anago, and the Kiu Signature Roll 8 pieces which had Hokkaido scallop, snow crab, cucumber, and tobiko that was torched with miso aioli. The service here is top notch and the atmosphere in the dining room is very elegant. Id definitely come back. Cheers!

I gotta say this is the best sushi restaurant in the area .

Good restaurant, delicious food, excellent service. Fried chicken and tiramisu are recommended. The other courses didn t impress me too much! In general, it is a restaurant worthy of visiting again.

We went for private dining. There is a room in the back with karaoke. You can have up to 12 people in that room. We had a personal server all night. Ambience and service was amazing. I would definitely consider Kiu private dining for another event. Youll have to reserve in advance and its $20/person for deposit. I would definitely recommend this place if youre looking for a small private gathering. Parking: Free parking Kid-friendliness: They have good spacing between tables. Lots of space. Wheelchair accessibility: They have elevators going up to the second floor.

Had the premium kaisen don, chefs choice. It was good, fresh salmon and tuna, but not particularly impressive compared to the price. Overall the food is decent but expect to pay a premium for the convenience of location. Kiu signature roll was very good, sashimi and lobster don was alright. The daily desert was great, pomegranate cheese cake.

Ive been here a few times before and have always had a good experience. Our server was Jacky tonight and I cant express enough how great and attentive he was. The venison carpaccio is a new menu item and I was pleasantly surprised at how well-executed the dish was. The pork belly skewers never disappoint, just the right amount of fat:meat ratio. Sashimi platter was exceptional: very fresh selection of high quality fish. The otoro was melt-in-your-mouth good. Loved every dish we ordered tonight. Will definitely be back.

Excellent service and the food was immaculate!

Went for lunch. Pretty amazing place. Liked the sushi plate we had. Also the set meals looked good. Ordered chicken teriyaki as well. Comes with greens on the side. Service is good and staff are friendly. Would definitely recommend this place. Peaceful and calm place. Parking: Has plenty of parking outdoors and downstairs as well.

I visit the Kiu Japanese Restaurant so many time. Last week I go with my friend we order 12 pc mix Oshi and some Sushi and Roll some Kitchen food. This time we visit to Kiu totally bad. Kitchen food is good noodle is good. Fish is fresh. Roll is good. Oshi is very bad Salmon is dont see the Salmon.(very thin) Anago is only half I saw the rice. Also server staff are look like very busy but just talking. I hope next time getting better off.

Overlooking Enterprise / Downtown Markham, Kiu is a quaint and intimate Sushi experience. Im normally an ayce type of person, but Kius quality and portion size is refreshing. They have a lunch / dinner combo menu that are very tasty and filling, but suggestion is to order one of these and then some a la carte sashimi or a side of crispy chicken karaage to share Food presentation are like beautiful works of art (check out my picture of the Lobster! The service is attentive and efficient. Awesome place for a date night (theres happens to be a movie theater next door as well) or just a special dinner with friends.

I always love this place. Food is really good. Welcoming and always smiling team !

Amazing service and aesthetic. They gave out roses on Valentines Day, nice touch. Food was great, the mocktails were really good.

Pricey! Quick Service. Quality is okay, not as upscale as I had hoped. The location is good.

Sashimi was fresh and flavourful, but what I d expect for a good sushi place. Service was really slow and my boyfriend didn t love his rolls. It was average.

Amazing food and drinks! Our go-to Japanese sushi place!

Really wonderful experience. Service from a young guy (sorry, forgot his name) was attentive and polite. We really enjoyed all the food and the atmosphere was great. Surprisingly great for kids. Well definitely be back again.

First time here, very nice atmosphere, good service.

I had an amazing experience here :) Our waitress, Alicia, was very bubbly and made us feel welcome. I was impressed by her knowledge of the menu, as she answered all of our questions quickly and provided helpful recommendations. The food she recommended was delicious! Will definitely come back again

Great experience. The price is a bit high for the quantity, but food is soooo good! Specialy when most rest quality has gone down after Covid, Kiu is one of my favs now

I have a late snack after movie. The restaurant is located outside the cineplex on second floor, big and clean. The staffs are very nice and the food quality is an average. I like the wine list with different choices of Japanese wines.

The food is absolutely amazing. But damn... The old fashioned is to die for!

Food was great! Service a little slow but drinks made up for it. They were great! Will return

High End sushi place in downtown Markham. Torch pressed sushi are not warm enough. Sushi rice is just by average. Note: outside drink is not allowed, so please expect a line up picking up your drink afterwards. They will store your own drink and might mix with other guest s.

Great service. The fish was definitely fresh and the cuts were generous. Absolutely loved the Salmon Carpaccio and the Otoro. However, I d only recommend coming here for the sashimi. Some of the dishes we got were definitely underwhelming. I would not recommend the Oshi nor the Karai Cali Maki. The Oshi flavours weren t as impactful as they should be as every bite felt generic, flavour profile could definitely be improved. Personally I wouldn t even put the Karai Cali Maki on the menu, nothing about it was special nor impactful.

We went back here for my birthday lunch last month but they overcooked the squid entree slightly. So it was a bit tough. I was hungry so I ate it. Disappointing. Next time I will return it. You shouldn t pay their price and get substandard food. They also had nothing for a birthday this time. Food and service was much better last year. We had the battered deep fried prawn appetizer with sweet and spicy mayo or aeoli sauce. I ordered the bento box with black cod. My mom ordered Ramen with pork, egg, etc. We also had the 23% alc plum wine. Service by Brian was excellent. It was my mother s birthday and it was our first time in the restaurant in a while. They had a beautiful card waiting at the table for her when we arrived. If ur lucky u may also get a surprise birthday ice cream for the celebrate as we did.

Sushi was ok. Environment was nice. Maybe good for dates and not large parties Service could be better especially when the server shouldn t be getting frustrated and rolling his eyes when a big group is asking to split the bills when originally was told to take separate bills ordering in the beginning.

One word: Yummy The wings were a bit too salty.

This place came highly recommended. We were not a fan. Small portions and overpriced. We ordered a bit of everything off the menu and were not impressed. Would not go back.

Everyone working here is very nice and its very pretty inside. The food looks beautiful. I wish that it had vegetarian options, the only thing I saw was the tofu appetizer. If youre not a fish person the options are very limited. Aesthetically pleasing, but expensive for what it is.

the food was very fresh and tasty and the service was great. I also enjoyed the ambience as well.

Great japanese restaurant. We order beef tataki, chicken karaage, agedashi tofu, kiu signature rolls and finished with a few desserts. Everything was excellent.

Pricey but worth it for the quality. I am not giving it a 5 star because the tables are too close to each other. Food

Ambience is great, food is delicious and staff were friendly. Really enjoy my dinner time at Kiu. Highly recommend and always good to make reservations prior your visit.

We were there weekday at around 5:30 PM. Less than 5 customer onsite. But food comes slow. At the end the staff even forgot to bring us the ice cream. I can understand of they were busy. But there was less than 5 customer in side the restaurant. Spend over $100. I learned my lesson. The food and service is not worth the money. Dont waist your Money.

Great customer service! Great drinks

Set dinner for 4! Yummy Sushi , Sashimi Rice & Udon! Japanese Egg Custard was a bit sticky!

Found the space to be overly packed leaning on the side of a can of sardines. Because of the open kitchen, it can feel quite warm if the table is close. Food is above average but portions are disappointing. Appetizers are designed for sharing between 2, barely 3. Flavours are good but not wow. Service was very respectful, the staff did not rush our large table and was waiting for our signal for whenever they were needed

Very expensive but good

Incredible atmosphere and amazing quality of Sashimi! Love the 8 kinds of seasonal sashimi platter with lobster soup! Lamb chops were also well cooked, juicy and tender. But baked oysters were not available at the time of visit,which was quite disappointed. Strongly recommend to call and see the availability of food before dropping by. Portion of food is slightly less than before compared to the price they charged. Would recommend to fine dining lovers But not big eaters.

Staff were super nice and great atmosphere. The food was on par but nothing stands out too much. Udon was my favorite. I am more of an AYCE guy but this is a great place for a nice date after the movies. Only reason why it is not a 5 star is because of the expensive price. If you are looking for a filling meal and an alcoholic drink with it, it will run you up to around $60-$90 after tac and tips.

The best Japanese restaurant in the GTA. Ive been here many times and continually every dish is perfection. We had oshi sushi, duck confit, miso cod and miso glazed eggplant. The eggplant app was flavourful and cooked to perfection. The duck confit comes whole and the server cuts it for you and plates it with the salad and squash, the duck was flavourful and had a perfect crisp to the skin. We got the 8 piece variety torched sushi so we could try a few and we loved every single one. The miso cod also was melt in your mouth good. Highly recommend, kind service, beautiful space, and reasonably priced.

Good food, good atmosphere

Restaurant had a very luxurious feeling and experience - furniture and decorations were super aesthetic. Ordered the eel bbq donburi (unagl don) which tasted super rich and came with a side of miso. Only downside of this restaurant is the very small proportions. Friend ordered pork chops and got like 3 pieces.

We had an amazing birthday dinner here on a Sat evening for a group of 12 people. The service was fantastic and should be applauded; all of the staff were friendly and attentive and did their jobs incredibly well, from the small touches of the handwritten birthday note down to the cake cutting service they provided. The food was beautiful and delicious! My partner and I got the Combo B set for 2 people and it was so worth the price. The portions were decent and by the time the last course came, we were already very full! We also got the 12 piece oshi sushi as we wanted to try it and this did not disappoint. We will be back!

Thank you for arranging a window booth for our Mother s Day lunch with my mom. We had a great time, food is always wonderful at Kiu with great services!

The thing I love most about this place is their attention to detail. Every step of the experience is well thought out and executed flawlessly. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave you are truly treated like a valued guest. Servers, bartenders, and chefs alike stopped by to ensure that everything was up to my expectation. The only thing better than the service was the food, take a look at the effort that goes into the presentation of this sashimi. Even the straw used for their cocktails is the most optimal straw to use because it s perforated and no ice chips can come through it. Overall fantastic place which I will be enjoying time and time again.

I was disappointed at quality of sashimi let alone variety. For the price they charge, you will certainly feel you re short changed. The service of servers are good but the hostess I find very unprofessional!! Even a simple Udon dish tasted like store bought!! Overall, not a place to go back to!!

This restaurant is located on the second floor beside GoodLife fitness and Cineplex. Food was good. Prices are slightly higher and portions are slightly smaller but it was fresh and the quality was good. Service was also good.

Excellent service, great setup and atmosphere, perfect place to bring your date after or before a romantic movie night. However the taste of food is so so. Fairly expensive too considering the portion of food is not that big and the taste you get. One thing to add, the tempura and dessert are very good though.

Came here to celebrate an early Father s Day with my Family (Saturday evening) This would be my second time visiting this place. The first time, I had issues with certain orders not show up but I thought I stated to myself - why not try this place again. The food is great but the service is just terrible. Communication between the servers is not happening, since I had to inquire about orders multiple times. An example was, as simple as a fork, my dad doesn t use chop sticks. After waiting 2-3 mins, I inquired again but nothing. It took about 2-3 different servers to give me a fork. Another issue I had was having to inquire about a missing item in our order. I get this happens, as it s a busy day but it s simple service. We had 1 item missing on our order. We finished everything and we waited patiently. After again inquiring with 3 waiters, we finally got an conclusion that it was not order (waiting for nothing). Also there is no follow up on how we were doing or if we needed anything else - we would have to consistently flag someone down. Working in the same customer service industry there is definitely opportunities in training their people at this resturant. I think memorizing the order is an opportunity as well as training their staff to communicate with each other (staff) and communicate or check in with their customers. Unfortunately, I will no longer come here as this has happened during my first visit as well.

So happy to have a proper Japanese restaurant in Markham with a mix of excellent traditional and contemporary dishes. Most of the Japanese restaurants in the GTA aren t run by actual Japanese staff so the food and experience are often lacking. Not so at Kiu! We had a family celebration for my dad s 95th birthday and the food was fantastic and beautifully presented, the service was attentive, and the atmosphere was inviting and interesting. This is easily one of our favourite restaurants in the GTA so we ll be back often. Highly recommended! Wheelchair accessibility: Easily accessed by people with mobility issues.

Ordered the beef tataki, buttered poached lobster, grilled cuttlefish, 9 pc sashimi platter and the live lobster sashimi. Firstly, service was wonderful, however both the sashimi platters arrived well after the other dishes were finished, even though the place was relatively empty. Both the grilled cuttlefish and buttered lobster were tender and not overcooked and the tofu cream sauce that came with the latter was great, however there was still a hard skin on the outside of the lobster. The beef tataki was a nice blend of sweet and salty, with a nice acidic aftertaste. Sashimi was pretty ordinary just like any other youd get, few pieces of salmon, tuna, shrimp, scallop and sea bass. The lobster tail sashimi came with 2 bowls of soup, made from the rest of the body, which was a bit too salty and barely filled up to the middle of the bowl. In my opinion, its an alright place overall with good tasting food, however, you could probably find better value elsewhere. Still, I recommend that if youre interested, you should at least give it a try.

The food was average. We had a good meal, but a male waiter in the store confused us. He helped us refill the tea without smiling or speaking. He threw the teapot directly in front of us, as if he was angry with us. The five of us at the table were all dumbfounded, what? We didn t offend him! Why that attitude? This is advertised as a high-end restaurant, not a food stall. Later, the male waiter named Jackie kept helping us clear away the empty plates and ordered desserts for us. In contrast, Jackies service attitude and smile make people feel much more comfortable. This also caused me to not be impressed by the food, but the service attitude made me remember this restaurant. We, 4 adults and 1 child, spent a total of less than $500 Canadian dollars.

They have this little card they put on the table with a message to celebrate anniversaries and other special occasions if you let them know before-hand. Lovely restaurant - looking forward to the next visit!

Gonna be showcasing some tasty food from the 6ix! First up, dont miss out on their aburi sushi. Their udon was surprisingly the highlight of the meal (the broth was just )

The food taste and quality is average, but what tainted the whole experience was the 2 male servers - after we finished our meals, the first male server walked over and asked you guys done with your food? (Yes, these were the exact words used when he was asking us), and about a couple minutes after our plates were taken away, another male server came to our table and asked you guys want anything else? I ll get your bill? We felt we were rushed to leave the restaurant when the restaurant was half empty. I would understand if the restaurant was full and if there was a line up for table but if there were still unoccupied tables and no line up, then why rush your customers? The hostess and the lady server who took our orders were friendly and courteous, but it s unfortunate how our experience with the 2 male servers at the end will prevent us from coming back.

Just saying from my word this is the best place I have ever been to

Kiu sashimi set (30 pieces, 10 varieties, $128) was great! Had otoro and chu-toro, among others. I wish there was uni. The restaurant is on the expensive side.

Not our first time at this place, but this time it s the absolute worst experience of all. The food takes a long time to come, and the quality is not as good as before. Sushi rice seems to be old rice and the udon tastes very plain, like the chef didn t use salt at all. Also the drinks take a long time and it s such a rip off. The sangria in the picture is very small and it costs $19! The waiter tells us they are very busy but the restaurant isn t even half full. Even asking for some water takes a while and we have to ask them to leave the bottle so we don t have to wait again.

The streamlined menu has taken out many ramen options, and offers little to NO vegetarian or vegan options. Very disappointed here.

My family and I have been coming to eat here for the past few years. Lately weve been eating at Kiu multiple times a week. Every time the service is fantastic and the food is delicious. Weve also booked their private room a few times and love being able to have a quiet and relaxing space to eat and hangout with friends and family. Raijin who has been our waiter a couple of times has always been very friendly and provided great service. Highly recommend coming here for quality Japanese food if you are in Markham.

Excellent. Presentation is exquisite. The staff are attentive, professional and very polite.

Allure is the best server we ever had thank her for her patience wonderful food from both chefs

I was not happy with the food, but what I didnt like the most was the drinks, every single glass smelled like fish, even the teapots, I assumed they are running the glassware through the dishwasher machine used for plates. And is not reaching te temperature needed to sanitized the glasses properly Food

Brought the family to Kiu, normally visit there for lunch as they have a mid-high price menu but the lunches there are very good value for the food they serve. For dinner we order quite a bit for a family of 6, best I would say was the baked oysters, raw sashimi bowl. It is kids friendly with plastic forks and plates, bowls plus chopsticks. The servers were knowledgeable and super friendly.

Kiu is one of our favourite places to eat. The ambience is similar to a restaurant in downtown Toronto, within Markham. I think the food is priced accordingly to what you are getting - fresh sashimi, unique preparations, and a healthy amount of food. My daughter loved the ramen (they currently don t serve it as they re looking for a new ramen chef). The staff is attentive and caring. It s also a great place to meet friends and colleagues if you want something a bit more upscale than usual. Kiu will always be one of our favourites in Markham!

Its okay.

This is my second time in over 5 years. And I think for me that says a lot. Was really hoping to give it a second chance since so much time has passed, but unfortunately I don t have much to boast about. The food was mediocre at best, the salad pretty tasteless and you could tell the lotus chips were not freshly fried. The shrimp was pretty breaded and the oishi sushi was sub-par. Rice was a bit hard and the mayo just masked the flavours for 2 of the 4 sushi s. The takoyaki wasn t bad but there was only a tiny octopus piece inside. I did enjoy the agedashi tofu as it was nice and hot, made fresh. I tried to make reservations for 5:45pm, but when I went back to it 5 mins later, it was no longer available so I booked it for 6pm. Upon arriving at 6, the restaurant was literally empty, with maybe 3 other tables occupied. Strange why I couldn t book 5:45pm. If you are going to catch a movie later or hang out around Enterprise, it s an easy and convenient option. Perhaps I have higher expectations for Japanese food, and of course to each their own. But for me this didn t hit the mark.

Went here for a quick Saturday lunch and it was quite good. We ordered their Salmon Aburi Oshi and even though I am usually not a fan of torched sushi, but they actually made it quite delicious. I suggest coming here if you are looking for a quick meal after watching a movie.

Good atmosphere and high quality food.

We had such a great experience at Kiu! The service was fantastic, I wish I could rate them higher! Food was amazing! They had fresh tuna come in that day and the chef had super fresh tuna sushi on special. My husband loved it! We can t wait to go back!

Yesterday was our 10th WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! We arrived slightly earlier than our reservation. I can say that this place was remarkable. The service was amazing. Our Server was amazing. We were also treated with a complimentary drink (also bubbly was not my thing ... but it was unexpected). Food was tremendously fresh. Beef Tataki, Salmon Aburi Oshi, Sashimi (5 varieties), Monkfish Karaage, Baked Oyster, Sushi Don ... all very very fresh. Presentation was great. All in all ... it was just a perfect amount of food and a perfect night out for a special night.

Great food. Great service.

The tuna tartare and baked oysters are good, duck confit is fine but a bit salty to me, torched sushi tastes okay with too little protein though

We hosted a private event at Kiu and everything was wonderful. The staff was super accommodating throughout the process and went beyond our expectations with adjustments, communication and delivery. Would 10/10 recommend!

Sushi and sashimi is fresh and really great. Everything else is terrible especially for the price. The tonkatsu was overcooked, the udon was undercooked, and tempura was nothing special.

Went for a corporate event. Amazing service, great food.

We came tonight. Not too busy. Food was good.

Very unprofessional management

Food is a solid 3.5 but the service and atmosphere bumped this up to a 4 for me. I found the set menu for two to be the best deal for $95. This includes sashimi, choice of oshizushi, choice of udon, choice of main, side salad and choice of ice cream. The stand outs were the sashimi and udon for me. Considering some AYCE sushi places now charge $50 per person, Id rather come here and have better quality food, service and atmosphere for a little more. Jacky and Brian were our servers and they did a great job with our large group. We brought in a cake and they put a candle and sparkler on it and offered to cut it for us. Very patient and friendly overall. Online reservation for a large group was very easy and they do take note of all the info you give them. They were able to accommodate me pushing back the dinner by an hour, too. Auto gratuity is 18%. Would recommend coming back for a large group celebration.

Food was delicious. The black sesame latte is sublime. Service is slow, but staff is very friendly.

If you havent gone yet, what are you waiting for? We were served like VIPs Thank You! See you soon, We are planning our next visit.

I have never eaten so fast The decoration is nice and the service is good, but the food is expensive and the portions are small. What is said online is true It is not an exaggeration to buy a burger after eating (but the taste is not bad, but it is not recommended) Come and eat if you are very hungry (like me )

Nice atmosphere, nice staff, ok-level food. Dishes have nothing special, despite a price above your regular Japanese Restaurant. You re paying for a nice ambiance, but the food isn t on the same level. A good place for a business dinner, rather than for a date. Parking: The movie theatre parking makes it easier for you, and you have covered options! Wheelchair accessibility: Elevator available

Who knew that in Markham on Enterprise Blvd, I would find an absolute gem of a Japanese restaurant with the freshest Sashimi and most delectable cocktails. I know fresh sashimi when I taste it and I know an outstanding Negroni when I sip one and on both these counts this restaurant has hit all the right notes. The service is good and not overtly familiar as you get in some restaurants. It was not contrived. Just attentive enough. They were a bit slow on the drinks but patience was a virtue because when the cocktails did arrive, it was a just worthwhile. Its expensive but you get what you pay for.....and I will for certain be heading back for another round of cocktails and sashimi at this place.
