| - Located on the second floor of the Downtown Markham Mall, this place is made for the Dating crowd - especially the movie date night.
There is a VIP Cinema across the hall.
Kiu is larger than I expected. They have a tight but comfortable seating area. Their large open kitchen, Isshin Ramen Bar and the Sushi Bar - best place to sit if you do the Omakase.
The dishes are varied and can fit most palettes and cravings. You want to try everything as you witness expertly plated food pass your table making decisions difficult.
Dinner was Takoyaki, Chicken Karaage, small selection of Aburi Oshi Sushi and Maki, and a dessert. To help wash things down, a Saison Du Japon and a Kagua Brown (insane 9%) beers.
Each of the offerings were prepared fresh and perfectly presented. We do eat with our eyes and with that, I was famished. Each morsel of food was delicious.
I'm not a fan of "torched" sushi, as the gas used to char can infuse a mal-taste, but nothing of that nature here. Each piece was enjoyable and dressed with edible flowers.
Happy Valentine's Day 2018! I purposely waited for today to write this review. For those of you who decide to participate in this wildly panicked day in hope to impress and romance, Good Luck!
If have a Movie and Kiu Japanese on the plans, I hope you made reservations a while ago, and have gone to your ATMs.
This place packs up each night and the food, decor, ambiance...all worth it.
Cheers!
