| - This past summer, I had the chance to visit Ki Modern Japanese + Bar for dinner located in the Financial District of Toronto. I was excited to try this restaurant after hearing great reviews from friends about the taste and quality of their food. From the exterior to the interior of the restaurant, the place was beautifully designed with a relaxed atmosphere in the dining area. Our waitress was very attentive and made sure we had a pleasurable dining experience. Their menu was designed for sharing among friends and so we ordered a variety of dishes to try out
Their Bistro Shrimp came out hot and fresh, and had the perfect amount of batter. Usually other Japanese restaurants coat the batter really thick making the tempura greasy, but this wasn't the case at Ki. From their Ki Signature Plates we ordered the Grilled Beef Striploin Tataki and the Tai with Truffle Oil, which was suggested by the waitress. The Tataki was slightly grilled around the edges and thinly sliced. The texture was nice and soft, almost melting in our mouths. The Tai, sea bream, was beautifully presented and tasted very fresh with the Cranberry Ponzu. These two dishes are definitely a must-have when visiting Ki. The sashimi we ordered included Hamachi yellowtail, Mutsu butterfish and Maguro bigeye tuna. Each order came out with 4 large pieces, enough for two people to share. The sashimi was delicious and definitely high quality. And from the Classic and Ki Modern Makimonos, we ordered Spicy Tuna, Lobster and Ki Beef Maki, which all tasted wonderful.
Ki is a great place if you want to try an upscale Japanese fusion restaurant for casual dining with friends or for a special occasion. Their menu is quite pricey but it's worth it for the quality of food you're getting. Overall, we had a great experience at Ki and will definitely be coming back in the future to try out other great dishes!
