My friend got the shrimp tomato pasta and I got the picnic sampler (can’t remember the exact names on the menu but should be pretty close). My friend said her food tasted ok and was filling; I would say the same too but if you usually eat big portions, the tasting set I got might not be enough for you. The food was OK. Didn’t really find anything too unique or outstanding in terms of flavor etc. Just normal sushi in my humble opinion. It was a cute place but I wish they had some form of service. Everything was self serve when my friend and I got there — had to go up and order, get our own waters etc but as more people arrived while we were eating, I saw staff bringing menus and waters to tables and taking orders so I was confused. But overall not a bad experience, just not anything too special either.

Food is absolutely delicious! Their truffle udon is amazing- chewy and not overly creamy, which is perfect! Their popcorn shrimp has lots of flavours which is interesting every bite! And their sushi sampler is perfect for someone who cant decide! Just that you have to go to the counter to order and prepay before eating, which is why one point was docked 🥲

There was so much anticipation to try out Kioku and everything about it exceeded my expectations. It was a total flavour bomb, bite after bite. The shop is nice and clean and the food comes out quickly. We ordered the Salmon Zukke, Mushroom Truffle Udon and the Sushi Sampler. All the dishes are presented beautifully! I haven’t even finished my meal and I’m already trying to plan when I can get back here!

I've been coming here for the avocado yubu for take out since they opened up and now I've finally had a chance to sit down to order a full meal! Got the truffle mushroom pasta and it was delicious. Super creamy, full of mushrooms and good truffle flavour without overpowering the dish. The prawn popcorn fry is amazingly crispy with little dabs of different sauces and also had battered mushrooms as well. The yubu was delicious as always and ordered the avocado and salmon. My hubby ordered the tomato prawn pasta and it was very refreshing compared to the truffle pasta. We'll come back next time to try the pesto shiso pasta (they ran out this time but another good excuse to come back).

This new fusion Japanese restaurant in New Westminster is a must-try! With a bright, modern vibe and creative dishes rooted in authentic Japanese cuisine, it’s perfect for a fresh dining experience. The flavors are exceptional, and the plating is stunning—I loved the salmon tsuke and truffle mushroom pasta. Great spot to visit with friends or loved ones!

★★★★

The atmosphere is great! Nice environment and service is excellent. The udon is good! The sauce is excellent, rich in texture and favor, udon is soft and chewy. Next time gonna try the truffle mushroom one. Sushi sampler is good when you have no ideas which one to try, yet it did not match a Hongkonger’s expectation on sushi. The salon was great!

Filling the shoes of AKD Kitchen, my expectations for quality was high. Thankfully, the food met that expectation. The truffle mushroom pasta was a great balance of flavour and not being too heavy. My favourite was the popcorn shrimp. It was my first time trying fried shrimp and it was the perfect ratio of crispy crunch to chewy shrimp. It was complimented extremely well with the salad and sauce. I've also heard lots of great things about their sushi, so I can assure you that they hold a high standard for their food. That alone is worth going for! The unfortunate downside I was willing to forgive (cause of the food😹) was their lack of service. It's a bummer that they don't go out of their way to seat you, provide the menu for you, or refill your drink. I hope that will have changed cause that would benefit customer experience a lot!

The menu at Kioku was truly unique. It wasn’t just your typical sushi; it had a refined and distinctive touch that could only be found at Kioku. I would gladly come all the way to New Westminster, even from a far distance, just to dine at Kioku Kitchen. Even as I write this review, I can’t stop thinking about the food. It was absolutely delicious! Try ‘Kioku Picnic sushi Sampler’. It was amazing🩷

It is my second time here at Kioku. I live nearby so I had to try out this new instagram famous restaurant! I must say the menu items look attractive and creative. I had the picnic sushi sampler last time which tasted pretty good - but debatable whether it justified the 18.95$ price point. Out of the sampler, I liked their oshi the most which was comparable to my old times fav Green leaf sushi.

Ive been here three times now and every time has been phenomenal. Their Mocha is absolutely delicious (which I wasnt expecting tbh). The Salmon Tsukke comes with super thick slices of salmon. The ahi tuna is so gorgeous plated (even when to go!) and is also really really yummy. I havent had the Ocha Tsukke yet because I keep coming back to the marinated salmon, but so far everything Ive had here has been consistently delicious.

December 8, 2024

Very average food. They try to upsell their dishes by using fancy terms. For example, calling it a truffle mushroom when its a mushroom udon with drops of truffle oil. Another one is calling it flying fish caviar when they can just say tobiko . Dont be fooled by these terms.

This place had been open for a while and the other day my partner and I finally had a chance to visit. The menu was simple, but the food was exceptionally good with aromatic tastes. We also got a free sampler of oshi sushi, which was also very tasty. This is probably the best tasting restaurant in the neighborhood. Would definitely revisit and highly recommend the place.

Cozy place near the skytrain station. Ordered the truffle mushroom noodles which were tasty, and a London Fog to warm up. Nice portion sizes, like the garnish on the truffle noodles.

Servers are really friendly! The green grape soda was really refreshing. The salmon sashimi bowl tasted super fresh and the fish quality is very good! Would come back

I had the truffle noodles and they were creamy and delicious. I normally don t review unless I m pissed off but they promised me a free coffee if I left one and it s odd to review when you have nothing to complain about.

The Picnic Sampler is such a great menu item to give each piece of sushi and zubu a try! The biggest highlight was the zubu (inari pockets) that has the most generous filling to rice ratio I ve ever seen! Would definitely recommend asking for a side bowl for eating the zubu as it might fall apart halfway and it s easier to eat it as a mini don then. Portion size was great for the Salmon Zukke, super nice on a cold day. You get your own water and order at the counter, and the staff are super attentive and sweet!

The restaurant offers a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is inviting, and the food not only tastes great but is also presented creatively . Im thrilled to have such a place in New Westminster and look forward to returning in the future. It would be wonderful to see even more unique dishes added to the menu.

Should ve not tipped.. The food was okay. I ordered the truffle noodles which is not what i expected. theres barely truffle and mostly consist of just MUSHROOM. i fell for that truffle noodle. Next one is my gf s. she ordered pesto noodles which the flavour is too overpowering. theres no balance to it. And lastly the servers. Like, it s not even busy and theres no initiative to refill our water. overpriced food with a below average taste. This place is trying too hard. Overall just a bad experience. It s not worth it. Respectfully saying.

Convenient and close to the skytrain station, great ambience and polite service. I love the signature sushi sampler, the only thing was the Pesto Shiso was a bit oily and salty

I saw this place from Insta reels and wanted to try the Ocha-zukke cause I only saw it on Japanese Dramas/Animes Actually it was completely different from what I imagined. Nothing like green tea Comforting & Hearty soup with grilled salmon. Salmon was very crispy & delicious. Not oily at all. Great for cold weather

The food is OUTSTANDING. Its the kind of place you that its worth going All In and order many different items on the menu. You wont be disappointed. You can taste the chefs passion in his dishes, all the small details are tought of to make it a flavorful experience. There was many new flavors for me that I never tasted before. I went with my boyfriend we had the Picnic tray, the Truffle mushroom Udon and the Salmon dish with 2 sodas that are an absolute must try! Food was extremely fresh, the service was fantastic, ambiance is nice; we will definitely be back!

I had the Pesto Shiso and 2 Yubus which costed me about $25. For the price, it didn t made me full and I wish there were more udon since I was left with a lot of sauce.

I got the Salmon Zukke Bowl, Salmon Oshi & Ebi Oshi. The fish was very fresh! The soy marinade is super good. Loved the fried Perilla Leaf (wish there was more!) Definitely like the Salmon more than the Ebi. Same as nother reviewer: the ebi layer was quite thin. Flavour was good though. Didnt end up using the wasabi as the bowl had enough flavour. Might be a good habit to ask not to add it next time just for personal preference to avoid waste. The pickled veg on the side is a fun pairing (I love pickled things, also nice for digestion) Generally 5 stars, but mainly 4 stars for price. Its a bit pricey but quality is great. Will have to try some other things next time. Would try again but not often due to price. Nice addition to the neighbourhood!

It was nice to be able to try a variety of Japanese fusion dishes. I was especially impressed by the taste of the truffle cream pasta, ochazuke, and salmon rice bowl. I would like to visit again soon. May you prosper!

Food independent of everything else tasted good, and looked nice. Pay at counter is very clunky. There was no service besides dropping off the food at the table. Tip options start at 15%, so having known this I wouldve skipped the tipping up-front as you pay before getting food. Pay extra 50 cents to get any drink iced doesnt make sense to upcharge. I think this place could do better if they were more service forward, or just change to a no service model. [Reply to owner reply:: tip = for service. No confusion there]
