| - Nice looking place. A brand new restaurant on Queen St would be nice looking, though.
Staff is great.
Food is good. Servings are okay. Rolls aren't tiny. Quality of ingredients seems to be above average.
For me, the prices are bad. I can understand that a new restaurant on Queen St might have lower margins for making profit (higher rent, debt due to being a new business), especially if they want to serve food that's higher quality, but I know of sushi joints that better suit me and are much closer to me--I don't need to pay high prices for good sushi.
The rolls are a good size for their price, and they are densely packed, but overall they were basic (they have 8+ versions of dynamite roll, a few other options), and some of them were a bit dry/chewy (one of the dynamite rolls). Their most basic rolls are quite nice, though, especially the spicy scallop--the prices on those "basic" rolls are a good fit.
We also tried the chicken katsudon. While the dish was very good, I also consider it to be overpriced. The flavour reminded me of the tempura don at Double Sushi. Kibo's katsudon was very tasty and it was sauced just right; no rice remained at the end of the meal. If you are going to eat here, you should be adding this dish to your meal.
tl;dr: while this place makes some very good dishes, and some of the rolls are quite nice (especially their basic rolls), I'd still go to my preferred restaurants. Kibo doesn't offer me anything to get me to go out of my way to continue visiting, but my chance visit gave me a good meal, even if I didn't like the prices.
