My boyfriend lives in the area, and I’m always around too, so we often pass by this restaurant and wonder why it’s so empty. Today, we decided to try it since we were craving sushi. They sat us in a covered booth, which we loved because we’re introverts and appreciate our privacy, especially while eating. We ordered the Maki Dinner D and Takoyaki. The Maki Dinner came with a small side salad and miso soup—the salad dressing was amazing, and the miso soup was hot and comforting. When our sushi arrived, it was incredible; it melted in our mouths and tasted fantastic. I’m not sure why this place is empty, maybe because of the location, but you should definitely give it a chance. Its truly a hidden gem.

Everyone was so friendly and the service was very fast. Presentation was beautiful which I appreciate as we were celebrating something. Will be coming back to try more things. They had cute little dishes that came out before what we ordered came out (soup salad and a noodle thing) Pork katsu was amazing, so nice and crispy. You can taste the sushi was fresh and made with care. Sashimi was soo soft melt in the mouth

Fantastic hidden-gem of a sushi restaurant. The sushi is high quality and the prices are reasonable. They also include a miso-noodle dish with tempura bits as an additional appetizer. A must try for sure

Third time here , definitely a cozy place to have dinner with friends and wonderful conversations. I love their presentation of their dishes. Fair priced . And there is a cash discount . Sushi chef was friendly and server was so helpful and friendly . There are three homemade teas I tired to both were good . I would definitely come back .

My Mom and I stop by this sweet gem on our way home from Toronto to Niagara. We ALWAYS have to stop by after discovering this hidden beauty. The fish is amazing and so buttery, the presentation is gorgeous and we absolutely love the staff. Thank you for the complimentary shrimp tempura and ice cream, we’ll see you guys soon!

This chef wanted to go on break so she burnt my chicken and it was also raw and gooey/pink inside in different places. It was gross and I was disgusted. I noted this to the waitress and even when she went to the chef (they were sitting directly across from me munching away with no care given) she continued eating and enjoying her food. No one cared or even said sorry. The fact that she/no one even came to address this issue is enough for me to tell all my friends and family to never come here. I was liking this place and becoming a regular, but after this terrible experience I will never come back here. That chef is appalling. I'm posting now after some more considerations on this review and i think it is deserving.

Salmon was a bit rubbery and spicy salmon was dry. Volcano roll was good though. Overall, pretty decent sushi and decently priced. Better places around but not the worst.

Nestled in the alleyway of the plaza located at Bayview and Cummer, this unassuming place has charm, ambience, service and food that brings me back to Japan. We took a booth and ordered udon noodles, sushi bento, salmon bento, monster roll, Bulgogi dinner. The tempura batter was crispy and didn’t feel overly battered like other restaurants. The bone broth starter was absolutely delicious and the miso soup and salad was not salty yet flavourful. Everything we ate tasted fresh and food portions were not considered small. I was feeling quite full be the time we finished our meal. The service was pleasant and always greeted us with a smile. The washrooms were clean and tidy. If I am in this neighbourhood again and craving sushi, I will definitely return here! Try it out!

I ordered two bowls of hoe-deopbap and chicken karaage during dinner time, but after 40 minutes, the food still hadnt arrived. After requesting it again, I finally received the chicken karaage, but the portion was noticeably smaller. The hoe-deopbap had hardly any vegetables, and the rice was the size of a baseball. The waitress didnt even bring spoon, nor did she serve the miso soup. They didnt seem to feel sorry at all for the poor service, and they acted as if the long-waiting customers were a bother. I spent here $69 for two but still hungry. I definitely dont want to come back.

Their food is ok so we come here sometimes since it s close to home. But they have these tiny enclosed 2 people booths that they make you go in, even when they have many empty 4 people tables. When we ask to sit at a bigger empty table, they just tell you that s for 4. So if you are a party of 2 or less, don t visit unless you like tiny squeezed space when you eat.

Nestled in an unassuming plaza alongside an Independent supermarket and dry cleaners, this tiny gem of a sushi restaurant, Kaikaki, offers an unforgettable dining experience. The adorable wooden booths provide a sense of privacy, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the authentic Japanese atmosphere. The sashimi is absolutely unreal, boasting freshness that melts in your mouth, and the rolls are a delightful burst of flavor. The friendly staff goes above and beyond, ensuring that every visit feels special and personalized. If youre a sushi lover, Kaikaki is a must-visit!

Delicious, fresh and tasty food experience! Visually charming atmosphere, and good, friendly service. We had the Bento (box) dinners, one was chicken, I had the spicy Bulgogi, both were delicious. As well, we ordered a plate of Canadian Dream Sushi Rolls (we needed more wasabi!). They also have a very wide menu. This was a very pleasant surprise to find. It is worth visiting - Hungry!!!

Just a huge disappointment. If they actually cared at rectifying the missing item because of an allergy I would have given 5 stars. It s really too bad because I did like this place. Not recommending again. And the crab salad is supposed to come with mayo, it s dry and tasteless. So disappointing.

Went to the restaurant for a quick dinner on the weekend as it was close to the community centre. The sushi (set with red dragon roll) was as expected, but I really enjoyed the miso soup and tea. The restaurant was very well decorated with various elements of Japanese culture to bring you that authentic feel. The enclosed booths are private if you want them to be, and the screen reveals Totoro!

I have been a customer of this restaurant for a year and have introduced this sushi place to more than 7 people. Today me and a fiend if mine had a chicken Teriyaki Bento which was smelly and not fresh, I kindly asked if they can change it but their response was like no it doesnt smell and you gotta eat. Then I said Im not going to eat this so the server took the plate. So we ordered something else However on the bill they charged us for the Bento that have been returned. It was disappointing for me, the owner/ sushi maker came to our table with this high attitude and start yelling at us that if your not a chef you can not tell what is fresh and what is not. Their behaviour It was surprising for me. The owner at the end asked us to leave and never come back again,since he has his customers already

The salmon is not fresh! We got sick an hour after eating here! Immediately we noticed the taste and smell was off but we ate some anyway, trusting the restaurant. Eventually, I had to send back my food because it was inedible, they offered a new plate and the difference in quality was vast. The first plate really was spoiled. They said they get fresh fish everyday but I highly doubt that s true, I ve worked in multiple sushi restaurants and they get fish once or twice a week. If it is true, then they completely mishandled their raw fish, making it rot in hours. It s probably safer to get udon or bento here, something fully cooked. $65 for food poisoning isn t a good deal! I wish they gave us a discount at least for the food poisoning

We order sashimi they were frozen! Extremely cold tea! Very bad service in general ,we had to literally call the waitress 5-6 times to come for everything every time ! She didn t come at all to check on us if we needed anything or no! We decide not to leave much tip,so at the end she didn t even say thank you or goodbye! Owner need to work on ppl who he/she is hiring !!! We will not visit this place again for sure!

Pretty good little sushi restaurant. I really like the decor inside with the secluded booth seats. Its a small restaurant and they only have 1 front door (i.e. not two front doors with a little foyer in between) so every time someone opened the door it got really cold, and the restaurant was generally cold inside already. In terms of food, it was pretty good. The portions were actually really big, which was good bc the prices are kind of steep. I liked the little bowl of noodle soup they give you in the beginning for free. I got the bulgogi dinner bento, but was a bit disappointed with the bulgolgi. The meat was tender but it was not saucy at all, and the meat chunks were so thick. I personally prefer thinner meat slices. I do recommend the Kaikaki roll. Its massive and has so many delicious components to it

A disappointment when I found out this place is under new management. Food selection has increased compared to the Korean restaurant before . But quality is not that good.

Visited for late lunch with my Mum. Green tea is amazing. We started with spring rolls which were fresh and crispy. Our mains came with delicious miso soup and salad. My mum had bbq pork and I had ton katsu (fried pork cutlet) and both came with rice. The portions were huge, we had to take home about half! There is a huge menu and options for vegetarians. More to explore next time. Lunch specials available. Tons of beer and saki selections too. The server was efficient, kind, and lovely, refilling tea, and food arrived in good time. The ambience is pleasant, with private wood booths and some tables in the middle which would make it accessible. Located in the corner of a strip mall, this gem has tons of parking. I know take out is available since we heard about this from a neighbor. Will be back! Vegetarian options: Large menu Parking: Strip plaza at Bayview and Cummer Kid-friendliness: Kids would probably love the booths Wheelchair accessibility: It would be tight to move around but possible

July/2033 Went for a late dinner tonight with my daughter, her favourite is sushi. Ordered the small sushi, maki and sashimi boat plus their special Monster Roll - one of the main ingredient is soft shell crab. Sashimi was great so fresh and fabulous thickness, just love it. Everything was so fresh and tasty sushi and the maki( not dressed with too much sauce so you can taste the flavours of the ingredients. Service this evening was not up to par for some reason. Had to look for the server a long time to get some water. No hot tea, I hope they get their tea kettle sorted out soon! Still would recommend you try them. Apr/2023 We have been to Kaikaki for over 5 years. What impressed me initially was their special rolls - lots of ingredients, thin on the rice and delicious! We ve had dinner in the restaurant and taken out, both up to par. The different boats are very tasty, tempura is nice and light. Special maki rolls excellent. Service while eating in their dining room was attentive. For takeaway we usually do the sushi, sashimi and maki platters. Very satisfying and fresh. If I had to give one suggestion it would be to prepare the maki rolls like before- more ingredients and less rice. Vegetarian options: Good selections.

10/10 I visited today to pick up an order of their party tray and had a pleasant experience. The place was fully equipped with hand sanitizers and even UV sterilizers. Along with great customer service, it was nice to see that the owners are trying their absolute best to keep the restaurant clean and sanitized during this difficult time. The quality of the sashimi was beyond what I had expected - so fresh and flavourful. I loved every bite of the salmon sushi and the rolls were just the perfect blend of flavours. Id definitely recommend this place to anyone. Hopefully Ill visit to dine in once the pandemic is over but until then, Ill for sure be ordering takeouts from here for my sushi cravings :)

Place is nicely decorated, relaxed atmosphere, clean. Food quality and taste is not that great; there are so many Japanese restaurants, to compare with. I had the rolls and had to use sauce, to make them tasty. I prefer the authentic small rolls, that can be eaten in one bite, to the big that needs to be cut, so I was tasting individual items, rather than the combination. The waiter was very polite and friendly, but she was constantly on her cellphone . I had to wait for her to look at me, in order to get more tea or for a question. It was hard to get her attention, rather than her being attentive, to the pteons. They need to train her properly, on the protocol of serving. No dessert! Even a little pastry or icecream, would have been nice, to end the dinner

I was walking by the restaurant today July 22, 2022, it s 30 degrees outside, Environment Canada has issued a heat warning and I was very thirsty went and asked for a cup of water and I was told no and get out! Not only was this extremely rude to a loyal customer of years they broke human rights laws of Canada, having access to water and restroom for everyone in need. Horrible rude and disrespectful with no regard for people and decency. Never going back or allowing any of my family and friends to eat here again.

Hidden little sushi restaurant with a nicely designed dining area with private dining rooms. They offer a good variety of sake, Japanese beers and sojus. Sashimi was good and service was nice. Dishware were unique and cute. I did wish they could have turned on the AC as it was uncomfortable to eat in the heat and humidity. I was also disappointed when they didnt have uni or ikura. Overall Id return again for another visit.

Lovely restaurant. I dont often write reviews but had to make an exception for this place. Dine-in is definitely better than take out, do yourself a favour by sitting down and enjoying the atmosphere :)

Unsatisfying to say the least. Had high expectations based on reviews but this was the furthest thing from a 4.5 star sushi restaurant. I would give a 1 star but the sushi pizza was pretty good. Apart from that the miso soup was fishy and tasted funny. Sushi was below average Server didn t even provide a menu for the first 30 minutes. Wouldn t recommend and won t be coming back

Delicious food, great service, and reasonable prices. Weve been eating from here on and off for the past 2 years, and everything weve tried has been great. Service is great, whether its dine in or takeout. Delivery packaging is on point, so nothing leaks or gets messed up. Would highly recommend for speacial meals or for more regular takeout.

Been coming here for 2 years now, food has always been fresh and great, customer service has been 100 every single time. The prices might be a tad bit more expensive than other sushi joints, but the quality of the food is unmatched. Kaikaki has been a lifesaver for Japanese food cravings during this pandemic and beyond! Bob

(Amended) April 2021 - 4 Star Review: After seeing the response from the owner, I decided to give this place another try (I paid for the order, I didnt take advantage of a suffering industry - but thank you for offering to replace my order!). I was satisfied that they werent cutting costs and it was an honest mistake. Thank you - The food quality is amazing and you retained my business. (Original) November 2020 -1 Star Review: I always order the same sushi. They raised the price since before the COVID mandatory closure (which I can sympathize with) but they cut costs and did not put the red fish eggs on top, instead they substituted with sesame seeds. If you are going to cut down on your costs, dont raise the price! I came there to support you during a rough time and now you lost a reoccurring customer.

New review: Upon returning, had a much better experience. The fish was very fresh, the chicken katsu and the udon noodles are delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Will return for sure! Previous review: Nice place. Staff is friendly and service is fast. Prices are decent. The decor is beautiful and really makes you feel welcome, even the chefs say hi! My only issue with this restaurant is that the fish isnt the freshest. The tuna tasted old and dissolved in the mouth. The Kaikaki special roll was amazing! A wonderful mix of fish, shrimp and veggies, very fresh. Will return for sure!

I had great dine in experience here after the long lockdown. We ordered a small sashimi/sushi/roll boat and karaage (fried chicken). With salad, miso soup and a bite size noodle soup came with the meal, these food fed three of us perfectly. The presentation of the sushi boat is surprisingly good - love the little radish swan and the tree decoration. We will definitely visit again. Btw, I hope they can get rid of those few tiny flies bugging around in the restaurant.

This is one of my favourite sushi places in my neighbourhood. Their party trays are great for takeout. Ive recently had dinner in the restaurant and the food was great. The restaurant has individual booths which makes it a great setup for social distancing during the pandemic. I think it is also a cozy spot for a special date.

December 21, 2021

Absolutely disappointing. I dont really write review, but I was floored by what I got. I order 2 chirashi for my brother and I. It was $20 each. What I got was less than a cup of rice, maybe 3/4, it barely filled the bottom potion of the take out container. I think my brother counted 12 pieces of sashimi, and these were cut small and a small slice of avocado that was turning brown already. So imagine buying a poke bowl for $15, and have that portion cut in 1/2 or 1/3. Thats the potion size I got from this place!

We ordered a takeout for the first time at Kaikaki and were a bit unlucky. The spring rolls were white, under-fried and smelled like oil. The avocado in the rolls was unripe, which is unpleasant for my taste. Philadelphia roll had a disproportionate amount of cucumber - I had never eaten a Philadelphia roll with cucumber. The salmon lovers dinner was good, but didn t compensate overall. For $80, I can t say I would recommend.

I had lunch there today and will definitely eat there again. I like the place and the food. There are many wood cubicles ideal for 2-person intimate dining. In each cubicle, there are decorations of photos on the wall as well as 8 bottles of wine on a shelf. These bottles are lit up by tiny lights behind them.

I would say that this spot is literally a hidden gem as the store is behind a wall, so the only way would be to park and actually look. I love how cute the interior is, and with the wooden booths to make your experience much more private and intimate. Their menu has a variety of sushi and sashimi dishes, and they have lunch specials that runs from 11:30a-3pm. The menu prices are reasonable so nothing is too overpriced. One thing I like is how their sushi and maki boats offer an option to make it all salmon (for an additional price) which is perfect if you re a salmon lover. We went with the small Sushi, Sashimi & Maki boat and loved how beautiful they plated everything. The boat also came with their Miso soup, salad and crunchy noodles. Everything was nice and fresh, and overall, we had an enjoyable time here. Definitely worth checking out! IG: Ayenomz

Got takeout..D15.Bulgogi. Second time I have ordered it. Was disappointed. Food was cold, very little flavour, no dressing on salad; if there was any sauce it was in the bottom of the carry-out bag. Worst part, one of the staff making the sushi for all to see was wearing a muscle shirt...his hairy armpits were exposed to the food he was creating. Not too hygienic.
