| - I've been to Kiku many times in the pass, especially this location, because the food and service was a lot better then the other store, and was above average to a lot of buffets in the area. However i have to say after a long time not going. this place has gone seriously downhill.
First of all, the sushi portion. the sushi itself has maintained a standard which is why it has two stars still. It is still decent and within average of most ayce sushi places in markham/richmond hill.The salmon rose has a very good portion in terms of the salmon and rice. And also the Eel sushi is very good, since the portion of eel is very good, and taste is excellent.
Outside of these parts. here is where kiku has lost all its stars. Its cooked food has seriously gone from pretty good, to terrible. The tempura was burnt and overcooked. which is amazing considering there really isn't that many sushi places that can burn tempura considering it is a deep fried deep fryer dish.
all of the dishes we ordered were overcooked or burnt. the beef sirloin was like gum texture, you can't bite through. this was previously one of their highlights as they did sirloin correctly. The short ribs were burnt and overcooked. the chicken was so overcooked you literally can feel how dry it is inside. The pacfic saury was burnt to a crisp. as you can see the theme here is, you can't taste the food cause it was all overcooked or burnt. Its just inedible. which is amazing considering the chef used to be very good, so i don't know if they changed chef, becuase he managed to make all 10 different cooked dishes we ordered overcooked and burn, it really takes some talent to be bad at all dishes.
The eel pancake was inexcusable, it was made with onion inside. it seems they don't understand the basic concept of how a japanese eel pancake is supposed to be made. there was no eel. lots of onions, and teriyaki sauce.
Even the ice cream had changed suppliers. you can tell, as their mango ice cream is wrong, it is not japanese flavour, they probably switched to a cheaper brand.
I have been so throughly disappointed at this experience, that if the sushi wasn't decent, they would've dropped to 1 star. And this was a restuarant i had previously would have given 4/5 stars.
Overall unless they return things back to normal. i would say avoid it like the plague. it is just not good, period.
