At Kibo, we believe the term hope can answer all life’s problems. From what to eat to where to eat at, Hope is your answer. Derived our name from the Japanese interpretation of Hope (希望 kibō), Kibo Sushi House was born simply because we believe greatly in hope. Hope - in the sense that if you work hard, you will always be rewarded one way or another. As we embed this belief into our restaurant, from selecting fresh, local ingredients; to cooking them with love and serving them to your table with our bright smiles; we hope that you enjoy and appreciate all that we put into your favourite dishes.
I'm so disappointed. This is my favourite kibo location. I order from here often but the latest take out order I just received is not to their usual standard and quality. Two of my pieces are complete inedible! UPDATE: All of the avocado was diseased. The bottoms of the ones that looked okay to eat WERE NOT!
Ordered two bento boxes for pick-up for $20 each. I arrived 15 minutes after my order was placed online and had to wait just to be told to retrieve my own take out bag from behind the counter. I was disappointed to see that the beef bento was not freshly cooked. It seemed like it was made earlier in the day because it was cold. The salad dressing did not taste good. The only good thing was the miso soup. Will not order here again.
Good, fresh sushi. There are options ready-to-go but we waited under 10 min when ordered from the menu in Friday night. Great service. Lots of snacks and instant noodles etc, even hot water and microwave provided.
Sushi was delicious, no complaints and perfect for take out. They have two small tall window tables but otherwise nowhere for dine-in so beware. Salmon lover combo was made fresh and very good which came with a salad and miso soup. Also took a freshly made veggie combo which the sweet potato one was my favourite! Street parking (by meter).
Ordered by telephone and was very friendly and efficient. Anthony works the front desk. Food was fresh and when I added soy sauce, it wasn’t a problem. I highly recommend this sushi house.
The place seemed nice enough and our order was made on time. I ordered the Aburi maki and sushi set. I don't know what I received, but you couldn't call it sushi. Everything was DRENCHED in the same weird topping/sauce - it didn't make any sense. I think it was trying to cover for the fact there was barely any fish in the sushi/maki, which were all cooked through in the torching process. It's a shame because the other kibo chains have been my go-to and this one is the closest to me. I rarely post reviews but this was exceptionally bad.
I just picked up a combo spicy tuna and spicy salmon rolls 8 pieces each. I can't determine if it's real salmon or tuna let alone which is tuna or salmon. It's chopped which is not my favorite but this looks like it's mixed with filler. Picture on right is off their website other 2 are what I got. Not fresh, too much spicy messy mayo and not impressed.
Really impressed with this place! The price point is on par with the quality, freshness and taste of their food - which is ultimately what I look for. We usually travel cross-town to go to our favourite sushi places so I'm happy to see more places like this opening up. Ordered butterfish sashimi, salmon hand roll and the salmon avocado roll. The last two mentioned had this red mayo sauce (supposed to be spicy? not sure) drizzled on top which to me I don't think they needed. They were tasty enough on their own. Service was friendly. Great addition to the Kingston Rd restos!
Love this location they have snacks/instant ramen and food for on the go, they also make fresh sushi in the back if you don t like what you see

good food :3
Great food and amazing options for take out
Great food and great service! Newly renovated market was really nice too and lots of options! :) Food
Been coming here for years but my last few visits have been exceptional, the new market in the front has tons of great options, gentleman behind the counter is very friendly and the presentation of the party platters is top notch. Kibo is currently KILLIN it
Love the store front with the ready takeout and end of day specials at 30 off. Customer service fantastic. Cash discount too on top. They have awesome snack section too
Amazing portions! I got the vegetable/shrimp tempura as an appetizer and was full after just having that. I have never, ever gotten such a large portion of salmon in any handroll I have ever had. It was full/spilling out. Seriously double the amount of salmon of other places. The 10 piece dynamite roll with 3 pieces of salmon sushi is a great deal and large roll.
This place is slowly becoming worse unfortunately. The quality is dropping and the time it takes to prepare an order is constantly increasing. Being late 20-30 mins is becoming a norm time to switch the spots.
I work locally, and this place has become my go-to for lunch takeaway! They renovated to look like a market, and have fresh sushi and snacks every day. My favourites are beef japchae for cold days and spicy sashimi salad for hot days! I also love grabbing an onigiri for a snack at any time. Thank you for great food and service!
I m very impressed by the way they design their food, everything is organized and neat.
Yummy, fresh veggie sushi!
Stop lying about wait times for pickup , have some respect for customers time
Good food, but the service is so slow. I swear they only have one person working there. The prices are getting worse too.
Food ar good
Not a fancy location (no dine-in at present) but our sushi order was quick and delicious. We gave no special instruction but everything from chopstick to soy sauce to wasabi was already in the bag. Friendly service (and yes she was pretty) and quick turnaround. Recommended! Food
They accepted an order and at first it was delayed by 15 minutes and then when my husband arrived at the restaurant to pickup the order we got a text it would be another hour! Ridiculous. Dont accept orders if you cant handle the workload just stop taking orders.
2 hours late today on delivery and the restaurant didnt answer their calls. :/
This review has been a long time coming! This is 100% our go-to sushi spot in the Beaches neighbourhood. Our go-to order is; Japchae with bulgogi Asparagus roll with spicy mayo Yam tempura roll with spicy mayo Edamame Broccoli tempura Always fresh, remarkably quick on Uber Eats and simply delicious! We have tried many other items as well - there s never been something we have tried that we didn t enjoy. I would recommend Kibo to anyone looking for a quick meal in the area. Price is on par with what is expected from a sushi restaurant and worth every penny! We have never dined in but in driving by the restaurant there seems to be an option to do so.
Online delivery order. Food was excellent and it was delivered very quickly! Thank you for a delicious dinner
If the avocado is rotten, don t put it in the roll.
Yesterday we ordered delivery from this restaurant and specified that we wanted chopsticks and soy sauce. Not only that the request was ignored and we were left without chopsticks, soy sauce and napkins, the box was also not sealed with a sticker confirming that no one had opened our sushi on the way. This is not the first time we have ordered kibo sushi (previously we ordered from another location) we have had no such problems. But we wont be ordering from Upper Beach again. The staff is indifferent and inattentive.
I order take out from Kibo through uber eat all the time thinking Kibo never disappoints. But this time it did... I ordered a takeout from Uber Eat tonight, spending $70+. The items include tuna avocado roll, sweet potato roll, aburi sushi, aburi scallop dragon and sashimi appetizers. When I open the box, I can clearly tell the fish is stale from the smell of the fish in the Sashimi appetizer. And the tuna in tunna avacado roll taste stale.. We only end up eating the sweet potatoe roll and several pieces of the aburi scallop dragon... We have to throw out the rest because we lot our appetite and concern that we might get sick because the stale fish.
The worst chicken teriyaki bento I have ever had. I love Japanese food and have had many Japanese bento. This store doesn t even know how to make chicken teriyaki ! Look at the picture: the chicken meat look steamed; and it is wrapped with egg and to with somkind of gluey brown sauce. What is this?????????? The bento box itself had 4 pieces of tempura, some potato noodles, cabbage salad unDerneath the chicken, rice. And Wowwww, I m treated with steamed chicken with egg. I shared my food with my son and he didn t end up eating. there were 5 pieces of chicken, I tasted one, gave two to my son and gave the rest to my dog. Terrible taste too. I hated my meal. I will never order from them. And this (chicken teriyaki and tempura) bento box is $23+tax???Worst experience.
It was Valentines day. They were clearly slammed. My order was late and incomplete, but they made it right super quick. The food they make is delicious. Sushi take out done right.
Sushi is a tricky business cause majority of the losses come from the fish going stale when you don t have solid customer base to consume the supply of these expensive fish specially in Canada (unless you re in Japan) while Japan has abundance of these fish at a lower price. So these restaurants like Kibo chain stores etc avoid losses, by serving customers stale fish or let s say old stocks from those previous days, the problem is -PEOPLE could get sick from these as these are RAW obviously. Its always a hit n miss scenario. Sometimes you could get fresh fish on a sushi on some days and most of the days we don t. Sad and BAD! Ordered from Uber Eats and had Rosedale maki and Aburi assortment. All of them DID NOT taste fresh. There was some dark discolouration on the surface of the snappers and tuna. The amount of Eel on the Rosedale was so tiny i couldn t even taste it, and they overly stuffed the rest of the maki with avocado. Stop serving people bad stale fish or you could get sued one day.
Used to be okay but the quality has gone way down while prices have increased. We used to order about once a month, but I wont be back again. Too bad, it was nice to have something on the Kingston strip. Food : 2/5
I ordered the chirashi bowl, the fish quality and taste were abysmal. Wanted to take the L and move on until I tasted the salmon - it had that taste and smell where it was starting to spoil. YUCK. Absolutely unacceptable for a sushi restaurent where you main ingredient is raw fish.
Atleast clean the floor.
Delicious!
Never dissapoints
Take out via the website. Food was ready when it was supposed to be. Taste wise, no complaints. Ill definitely NGO back again. Bonus:. They dont use any black take out containers. Looks like all of them can be recycled. Yay.
We ordered takeout and everything was delicious and ready on time. Packaging was great so everything arrived intact with no spills!
Delicious food
Great tasting food. Will definitely be ordering from here again.
My go-to sushi place! Great selection and delicious
My go to place for sushi! Their shrimp and veggie tempura is legendary. I can eat it for days!
Excellent
Just left, after waiting in the store to be served and no one came to take my order, there upstairs working (busy I get it) but with no one in the store for pick up or to place an order and I get a quick glance from one of the girls working there but still no Hi, how can I help you or any kind of service. It s funny cause they have a sign at the register about increased prices due to the effects of the produce market, so first increased prices as well as no acknowledgement, seems as though the business only serves delivery services like door dash, Uber or skip. Not to mention that I callled for pick up, was told to wait and the call was just hung up. Anywho, horrible service and even though I didn t get the opportunity to taste the food, I doubt for the frustration gained, that the food is good enough to appease. Wouldn t recommend unless you don t respect yourself or it may be your thing if your into torture like dominatrix and such .
Loved the sushi but was barely acknowledged by staff. We felt like we were viewed as an annoyance, even though we were the only ones picking up at the time and were patient and quiet.
Wonderful such a Delicious foods
Kibo is never a disappointment my favourite go to! Highly recommend.
Excellent tempura! Really like their selections and sushi options.
You cant eat in the place and when we bought a salmon it was bad. They should be careful with that
Kibo has surprised me by being consistently delicious, and fresh in concept. The food has rarely disappointed and, for a chain, that is unusual. Wish it had a dine-in option but Im happy living without it for now.
Why a u guys closed at 21:20? If your operating hours on Monday till 10pm??? so upset, change the schedule in this case?
Its actually a complete rip off, I got two tuna rolls and my first 5 rolls pieces had zero tuna! Complete utter garbage, especially for the area. ITS ALL TEMPURA. Never going back. Zero stars.
The worst sushi Ive ever had in my life
Bulgogi tasted like dog food and had that consistency too. White fish was dry and rancid, I couldnt eat it. 2nd time ordering here and I wont ever again.
Great sushi at a great price
Love this place! Best Sushi take-out in the east-end.
Meh. Just ok. I liked it the first time but not so much on the second order. Shrimp dumplings 5/8 didn t have any shrimp inside- what s up with that!? Inari too sweet, also soup was cold and literally watered down soy sauce and raw cabbage/onion for the broth. Won t go back.
Delicious and fresh!
Just had for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious. Welcome to the neighbourhood Kibo!
Delicious! My favourite sushi in the city
Amazing dumplings! Maybe the best Ive had my whole life. On the pricey side though.
Recently moved to the Upper Beaches and was so happy when Kibo Sushi House opened recently. I was a frequent customer at the Spadina/Adelaide location when living downtown. Best mid-tier sushi spot - great quality, average prices and reasonable pick-up/delivery times. A wonderful contribution to the community. Will be a regular customer for many years to come!!
Their sushi is the absolute best!!! Love their maki trays!!!
We are so glad a kibo opened in our neighborhood. My wife and I have enjoyed the other locations over the years, and this one is great. Had our second takeout sushi feast last night and it was fantastic!
No comment!!!!!!
Not crazy expensive, very tasty and super close to home! Got the spicy salmon and yam and avocado roll :) Definitely coming back soon. Didn t take any pics by accident since it was so yummy!
Orders of tuna are substituted with flour plus tiny tuna pieces, decorated, and sold as tuna. Open up your roll! Top looks like meat all spicy flour inside. Picture is what s inside of a tuna hand roll. That s not tuna! Horrible!
Delivered salmon lovers not as on photos at Kibo Sushi shows salmon on their pictures, while in reality it s a mix of I don t know what.I paid $15 + tax for a bunch of rice with spice?! Total rip off!!! I don t recommend
Their hand rolls are practically overflowing with delicious ingredients! The scallop hand roll was incredibly fresh and delicious. Great spot for an awesome lunch.
Man Kibo is good, they were my fav spot for sushi when I lived on College and this Beaches location is just as consistent, fast, and as with all Kibos, great quality for a reasonable price.
Great sushi and lots to choose from
If you like waiting an hour for sushi that has gone bad and smells terrible, this place is for you.
Amazing! The price is right. The sushi is fresh & tasty. 2nd time ordering & pick up from them and it was just as great as the first time ordering. This is my new sushi spot!! 100%
Excellent sushi for The Beaches area, the tempura is egg free and the BC special Maki was amazing.
Gone down hill. Spicy salmon is just all crunch no salmon. I ordered salmon sashimi and it had tendons couldnt even finish it.
Our office just down the road is so happy Kibo moved nearby! Once one of us orders, we all have to :) delicious and well priced!
Food arrived quick, well packaged. Decent sushi for the price.
Delicious!!!
Really disappointed by the quality of the sushi served here. We got the maki roll C which is supposed to have a lobster roll, instead we got mystery meat (looked like dried tuna but tasted like chicken). Super disappointed that we did not receive the lobster roll as we picked maki set C specifically for the lobster roll. Incredibly expensive for what you receive. Rolls are 75% avocado. The California roll didn t even have fish eggs on the outside. We ordered edamame and it was still kind of raw. I m Japanese, I eat sushi at least once a week and never get sick, well that changed last night with Kibo sushi. They were busy but short staffed and we had to wait an extra 30 minutes for the disappointing sushi. The miso soup was pretty good but miso soup is always good. If you don t have lobster roll, at least substitute it for something similar, not mystery meat.
One of the best sushi places in town
Always good!!
So fresh and delicious. I go back for the butterfish sushi alone.
Always ready on time; always flavourful and delicious.
Great sushi and nice staff
The best sushi in the beaches hands down. The Kani salad is amazing. I usually order 2 lol
I ve heard this place is so good but I found it absolutely dreadful, I ordered the sushi pizza with salmon and avocado it was just okay, the Chicken Karaage Tempura, we ll certainly not a tempura batter and Ebi Shumai shrimp that was at best soggy. Big mistake.
Great people, great service so far
Was very happy with the quality and price of the take out I ordered for pickup. I was able to pay cash and the order was ready when they said it would be.
Kibo taking over. New locations popping up everywhere. No issues ordering over the phone and picking up at this location.
Love the food. Good size portions. Great value for the money.
We ordered take out. We have ordered 3-4 times before and always loved it. This time, there was a pile of hair (about 1/2cm long, like a haircut) in the bag/on the packaging of our food. I am not making this up. All I can guess is that the person who packed it (I HOPE just packed it) had also just cut his hair. When my husband called, they gave us a credit. No chance I ll be able to eat there again, so we won t be using that credit. I should have taken a picture but we were so grossed out our first thought was get it off our counter. Doesn t give me much faith in any covid protocols either.
This is the third time I order a party platter from this place, they never include both soy sauce and chopsticks. Come on guys
We just ordered take out, it was good but not oh we gotta get that again good. The presentation was nice, and the maki was good same with tempura. The soup, salad and sashimi was very hot or miss (specifically the sashimi, it was stringy and just ok), the miso was ok but was barely any of it and it was really cold. The salad was not good, just didn t taste good. Overall we might give this place another shot, but for a 50$ order + tax, we didn t feel we got the full value. Either way, after reading some reviews maybe we just were unlucky.
Fresh and delicious, as always! #spicycrispysalmonrollsFTW Before the pandemic, my office had a Kibo beside it. It was THE sushi spot for lunch. Having it tonight made me feel like nothing has changed. Another wonderful addition to the neighbourhood.
Best Maki in town! Great service too! So glad to have a location close to home...
Food was really saucy (sweet) and barely any fish. They mixed the fish with some type of sweet sauce and tempura. Leslieville location is much better.
Ordered the maki, sashimi, sushi combo A. Was incredible. Best sushi I have had since I moved from Vancouver 15 years ago.
Picked up the $5 cash to go California rolls, very fresh and good quality. Will be a regular!
So happy that a Kibo opened in the upper beaches! Weve been to the Queen/Jones location multiple times and were never disappointed. Their rolls were always on point, and for the price, best sushi in town! Rolls never had too much rice, just the right amount, and everything was freshly served. The fact that its so close now, is huge! Also their mobile online ordering system is pretty good. You go to their website, setup an account, and browse their online menu for what you want to order. You can do pickup or delivery, and the great thing is, you save on all those pesky ubereats/doordash fees!! Also, once you order, similar to the Dominos app, it shoes you where in the process your food is at...NOTE only go pickup when it says ready for pickup... This will hopefully help u avoid lining up outside for too long We went Saturday evening and it was PAcked! I mean..mostly pickup orders bc of covid and no dine in, but the line was out the door for pickup.. Only mishap was that we ordered a side of toro tuna nigiri and even though order went through on the order portal...on pickup they said they didnt have any toro... Disappointing but they promptly refunded the money...order portal shouldve caught this so hopefully they work out OOS kinks... But food, quality, and price cannot be beat!
This place is top shelf sushi in the area. Recommend spicy salmon, spicy tuna, salmon avocado, yam tempura rolls. Sizes are healthy, pricing is great for value provided.
Delicious and the best sushi I ve had in the area!
