So here's the thing: I first tried KaKa in Markham without hearing a single word about it and ended up thinking it was a pretty great place for ayce sushi. THEN, I read about how the Toronto location wasn't up to par with the Markham location which skewed me away from it for quite some time. After finally being able to get over that fact, I tried out this location and I am so glad I did.
While you must've already read about how unique and tasteful their sushi and special items are (and I wholeheartedly agree with those raving reviews), the Toronto location is better than the Markham location for a number of reasons:
- This location is bigger!! More space means more servers and more attention towards your table if you need anything.
- All dishes are unlimited. At the Markham location, the last row of food displayed on the iPad is limited at one dish order from that whole selection per person. At the toronto location, you can order as many of those special dishes as you like. They include the special rolls and tataki.
- The selection here is bigger. I remember the Markham location only having one type of tuna tataki whereas the Toronto location has about 6 different types, with one including truffle oil.
- This location serves up a special to-order dish that changes weekly. Ours was a delicious platter containing a variety of sushis and chirashi, including wagyu beef.
Overall, I highly recommend this location if you're craving AYCE sushi. I know I'll be back - I mean, it's been weeks since I've gone and I'm still craving their tataki and pressed sushi. (Minus one star because I wasn't a fan of their desserts - only liked the green tea ice cream which had a really strong matcha flavour and the panna cotta).
