| - I loved the elegant decor of Kiku and enjoyed my first experience using an iPad ordering system, which was wonderful given I am relatively new to the sushi world and have yet to become familiar with all the terms ('futomaki', 'teppanyaki', 'hibachi', etc.) - to this end, the pictures on the iPads really helped! I've also heard that some iPad-equipped AYCEs won't accept an order without server approval, but Kiku certainly isn't one of them. If you have trouble you can use the 'Call Server' button, but I warn you that it may take a while for a response, at least in my experience at this restaurant, which was bustling with patrons even amid the lunch hours of a Monday.
With that said, this is a very pricey place for AYCE ($15.50 for lunch! Oh, Richmond Hill...) for sushi that did not seem to be of superior quality to other joints in DT/GTA (New Generation on Bloor, Kiyo on Yonge/Elgin Mills, etc.).
My table ordered 23 menu items (needless to say we were hungry) and the standouts were the Las Vegas Roll, the breaded shrimp, yam tempura roll and the spicy salmon hand roll. Not a bad experience by any means but also not outstanding.
