| - Usually, the AYCE sushi restaurants in Markham have better food quality and a wider selection compared to the restaurants that we have in Mississauga, but in this case, I was sorely disappointed. We went to Kiku on Sunday at noon and without making a reservation, our party of 6 was seated right away.You order the food and can submit it directly to the kitchen without waiting for a server to click on something on the iPad (that's a bonus) and the food came out almost right away.The only deep fried item that was good was the torpedo shrimp (it was super fresh, crunchy and piping hot), while all the other ones that we ordered (mushroom caps with shrimp, deep friend chicken wings and calmari) were all hard and seemed like it was re-friend. The raw fish in the handrolls and regular rolls were fresh, but in general, the sushi rolls were too big for my liking (probably twice the size of the ones that I'm used to). There wasn't a lot of selection in terms of salad, just a regular house salad and seaweed salad. The shrimp skewer didn't look like the picture in the iPad (peeled, giant shrimp on the stick), the ones that came to the table was one single shrimp with it's peel on, and it was impossible to take the peel off. The dessert was the usual fare, an assortment of ice cream, mango yogurt/mousse/pudding, coconut pudding, deep fried banana. It was my first time to Kiku, and unfortunately, that was also my last time.
