| - I'm not often in this area, but the other night, we ended up here, hoping it could cure a sushi craving.
AYCE sushi restaurants seem to be forced to step their game up lately; there are so many more places opening up all around the GTA. I've been to some really bad AYCE places (like Sushi Mountain in Ajax, unfortunately) and I'm happy to say Sushi Kiku falls on the brighter end of the spectrum.
We ordered a craaaaapload of food, with a mix of cooked items, sushi rolls, sashimi, salads, etc. I liked pretty much all of the rolls; they were made neatly, not too big and even though they arrived at our table super quickly, they weren't made in a rush.
Our cooked items were also tasty: we had udon (both fried and soup); mixed tempura, enoki musrooms, and a whole bunch of other meats that were all hot and served promptly.
Stuffed and happy, we still left room for some deep fried milk (a must have!) and a scoop of ice cream. I ordered the tiramisu too, which was a bit off...but, hey, I don't go to sushi joints for Italian desserts, jeez.
Even on a busy night (we went on Good Friday), we were seated and served efficiently. The staff are attentive and polite. Our dirty dishes were cleared away smoothly to make room for all the food coming in, and our water and tea was constantly being replenished. Refilling my drink --- this makes such a huge impact on my experience, no matter WHERE I am eating.
The price was average for an all you can eat (24$/person, holiday dinner pricing), but the quality of the food was definitely better and I'd love to come back next time I'm around here.
