| - I almost didn't go here because of the negative reviews. I'm glad I ignored them!
My wife and I just came here for the AYCE lunch service.
Right off the bat, K&B stands out in terms of the price-to-atmosphere ratio. K&B looks like the sort of restaurant where you spend $15 on two rolls, not AYCE service. The restaurant is impeccably clean, well decorated, and doesn't have a hint of the "hole in the wall vibe" many AYCE joints have.
Ordering is done through iPads provided to every table, and it's an awesome system. You scroll through the menu, which includes pictures, and add items to your order. When you're ready for the next round, you can call a server through the iPad. This avoids my primary issues with AYCE sushi - I had no trouble waving down a server, and all our orders came through complete. No waiting on that last elusive roll and wondering if it's taking long or simply forgotten.
Other people complained about the staff, so maybe I chose a good day, but I found them to be wonderful. They were friendly and endlessly attentive - plates were cleared away almost as soon as they were emptied, and our drinks were constantly topped up.
The sushi is good. They're generous with the fillings and easy on the rice, so I walked out full of fish rather than loaded down with rice. We also tried some of their other items, general pan-Asian fare, dim sum and rice. Everything was entirely up to par.
One of my better dining experiences in the GTA, certainly for the money I spent, and I have a feeling this will be my new go-to sushi place.
