This restaurant is located on the 2nd floor beside the GoodLife. Interior of restaurant is very nice. We ordered sashimi which... was super fresh, udon to fill the stomach which was also good and the chirashi Don was decent. Service was good. Nice placefor Japanese fine dining! Read more

They were wonderful, we had our anniversary dinner and everything was fantastic! Food is fresh and delicious, ingredients are... high quality and menu is very creative. We will come back to try lunch. Our server was kind enough to review the menu with usand suggest some popular items. A bit pricey but a great spot for a special occasion! Read more

Beautiful upscale, clean, cozy Japanese restaurant next to Cineplex Theater on the second floor of the mall. Love the decor and... ambience! Excellent food quality, and very polite and friendly customer service. Price is on the higher end but definitely worthit! Would love to go back and recommend to others! Read more

Restaurant is good, food are excellent, tasty food, good portion. Love the place, will back to try different dishes. I gave... only 4 stars rating, the missed 1 star was from the receptionist. We went there on Saturday without reservation. Although it'sbusy night, some forget, but fixed quickly. Waiter/waitress are polite and friendly. Since we walk in, the receptionist soundsnot like to looking seats for us. Although many seats available at sushi bar. The lady might be a good receptionist in otherplaces, but definitely not suitable for Japanese restaurant. Read more

Food 4.5/5 Price 4/5 for quality Service 4.5/5 Kiu is a great spot for fresh sashimi. I didn't realize that Iishin Ramen is no... longer apart of their restaurant so was a bit sad when I didn't see the ramen selection. That being said, friendly staff,efficient and also food came in relatively good time. Menu still offers a good variety from hot dishes to rolls to sashimi,udon and don. Sashimi was fresh, well cut and offered a nice range of higher quality including toro, scallops to say a few.Didn't have that tainted seafood flavour, which is great and can tell its fresh. Good temperature on the cuts. Udon broth wasfragrant and not overly salted. Duck meat surprisingly was quite nice after the first chew but I didn't necessarily like thepairing of their duck with the udon soup. Tempura freshly battered and fried. Good crunch and texture with balancedseasoning. Oshisushi was good but nothing too spectacular. Can have less mayo and more flavour forward in this sense. Myfavourite would be the toro with truffle. Karaage was nice as chicken was juicy and good coating on the outside. Right meat tobatter ratio, fresh oil used to try. Salmon carpaccio was nice with the yuzu citrus shining through. Onions gave it anotherdimension in flavour and texture. Best was the fish roe providing a good salty umami to the salmon. Read more

I normally don't really like sashimi because I often find that the pieces I get are too fishy or not cut in an appetizing way,... but i really enjoyed all of the dishes I ordered here. The service was also really attentive and accommodating for most of mytime there. The only parts I didn't like were the lobster miso soup, the nori/laver with the takowasa, and this one drink Iordered – but that part was my fault for not reading. The lobster still had the meat inside its shell when the miso soup wasserved. Wasn't a fan of this because it wasn't that functional in a sense that it wasn't as easy to pull the meat out as itprobably should've been. It's pretty, but lobster in general is expensive, so I look to get as much out of a meal as possible,and this particular dish was a bit complicated. The nori/laver with the takowasa: this tasted great, and it was the perfecttemperature, but I wish they put a bit more sheets to match the portion! The drink was extremely sweet and reminded me of coughsyrup. But that was my fault for not looking at the flavour profiles carefully. It's pretty pricey here, but it was a verysatisfying meal and experience. Read more

This restaurant has received too many praises, which is indeed well deserved. so I just want to comment on the wine I ordered ~... Wednesday special. Because it was so delicious that I forgot its name. The bartender, ????????I love she/he!???? Unexpectedly, She/he made a cocktail like fruit afternoon tea, ??????????took a sip, and the picture immediately appeared infront of me: a ray of sunshine outside the window shone lazily on my face, the bright light danced on the table, the corners ofyour mouth were slightly raised, and your body couldn't help dancing with the light. This wine made me happy. So nice?????????????????????????????????????????? Read more

My first time here, they did not disappoint me at all. 2 sushi dishes, 1 appetizer and 1 sashimi portion are just enough for two... people. Sashimi is fresh, good taste, and the decoration of the dish is also very impressive. I really like the beef tataki,which has beef, garlic, and pomegranate flavors. Reasonable price, not too expensive. In particular, the staff is friendly andgentle. Besides, the space is also very comfortable, clean, located on the 2nd floor of the mall. I will visit next time.
