I finally tried the sushi here. Rating is still the same. I really want to like Kiu more! It's spacious and comfortable and service is accommodating with a nice view if you're lucky as it's on the second floor.
We ordered the chef's choice nigiri, chicken karaage, and torched sushi (six pieces). Total damage, about $60 (and we were not really full). For what it is, I feel it's overpriced - I would hope that for $60 for two people we would be full or the food to be amazing.
The chef's choice nigiri was good. Comes with more expensive things like scallop, uni.. I've had better uni but for the price point it's fair. $19 for 6 pieces, but it didn't wow me. But I think the sushi is still good here and not a bad choice.
The torched sushi was quite thin and dry, the rice fell apart and it was at a premium price too... I would say don't get this. I've had bad experiences with torched sushi and this was another one on the list - the only place so far that I think does it well so far is Torch at Yonge and Cummer.
The karaage though, strangely enough, was the dish that impressed me the most! Huge pieces of chicken, super crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Best karaage I've had.
I think I will be back to try other things.
