We all loved their little complimentary thin noodle soup with tempura bits as the appetizers - it was always the best part of the meals. Although small, Kaikaki has a charming and cozy environment with lots of wooden decor. I remember the service is always friendly too. Last but not least, the food is not the cheapest in terms of volum, unfortunately, and that's why I rarely go there by myself. 3.5 stars

But I have to say, i did try their finger food when i participated in that event, particularly their kyoza, spring rolls etc, and they were kind of disappointing.

I recently returned for my second visit and was just as impressed as the first time. The restaurant…read moreis absolutely beautiful, offering a variety of dining experiences including omakase chef bar seating, regular table seating, and teppanyaki. Same as the last, this time I enjoyed their $55 omakase set again along with some a la carte items and it was excellent. The sushi and sashimi were fresh, beautifully presented, and every piece was delicious. The cooked dishes were also prepared perfectly and complemented the meal wonderfully. I also noticed they now have a much larger sake selection compared to my first visit, which was a pleasant surprise. From the chefs behind the counter to the serving staff, the service was exceptional throughout the entire experience. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. One thing I really appreciated was that they seemed to have taken my feedback from my previous visit regarding the noise levels. The dining atmosphere was much more enjoyable this time, showing that they genuinely value customer feedback and continuously strive to improve. Overall, another fantastic experience. Fresh, high-quality food, outstanding service, and a beautiful setting make this an easy recommendation. I'll definitely be returning again.

A small restaurant with a truly Japanese feel. The space isn't large, but the moment you walk in…read moreyou can immediately sense a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The soft, dim lighting creates a calm and relaxing ambiance, reminding me of dining in a traditional Japanese ryokan (onsen inn), while also carrying the cozy charm of a family-style meal at a Japanese minshuku (guesthouse). It's an "at-home" style sushi restaurant (アットホーム) where the atmosphere feels relaxed and comfortable, making it a lovely place to casually stop by and enjoy authentic Japanese cuisine. The restaurant focuses on offering high-quality sushi at reasonable prices, allowing guests to experience genuine Japanese flavors in a comfortable setting. Simple, welcoming, and quietly elegant in a very Japanese way. Looking through the menu, we decided to try the Aoyama Course ($89)The meal began with appetizer salad made with Japanese seaweed and snow crab, dressed with a sesame sauce. Next came the sashimi course, with fresh fish. The sashimi were elegantly presented with edible gold flakes, adding a refined Japanese touch. We also ordered a bottle of Japanese sake called "Demon Slayer" to pair with the meal. One charming detail was that the restaurant offered a variety of cute sake cups for us to choose from, which made the experience feel a little more personal and fun. Their sake menu was also very unique, handwritten with clear explanations for each selection, making it easy and enjoyable to browse and pick the perfect sake to go with the meal. We added an order of monkfish liver (ankimo), which was absolutely delicious. It was beautifully marinated and tasted very authentic, rich, smooth, and full of flavour. The butter fried rock lobster tail was delicious. Sautéed in their house special low-sodium garlic butter, the aroma was appetizing. The lobster meat was tender and naturally sweet, the fragrant garlic butter and herbs. Very well balanced dishes of the course. The tempura course followed with a light and crispy assortment of shrimp and vegetables. The batter was delicate and airy, and the tempura dipping sauce was beautifully balanced, adding a gentle savoury depth without overpowering the ingredients. We were then served Dobinmushi, a traditional Japanese seafood soup presented in a charming little teapot-style ceramic pot, which looked both traditional and adorable. The broth was clear yet deeply flavourful, with seafood, vegetables, and mushrooms. Chef's selection of sushi, featuring maguro, hamachi, salmon, Hokkaido uni, and eel. The fish tasted fresh and clean, the uni was creamy and rich, and the eel was tender with a light glaze of sauce, making it a satisfying finish to the savoury courses. For dessert, we chose matcha red bean ice cream and black sesame red bean ice cream. Both ice cream were rich and smooth. Each course arrived at a perfect pace, allowing us to enjoy the meal without feeling rushed or waiting too long. The servers looked lovely dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos, which added a beautiful and authentic touch to the dining experience. The service was excellent, attentive, warm, and very thoughtful throughout the meal, made us feel very comfortable and well taken care of. The restroom located downstairs in the basement, decorated with adorable Hello Kitty touches. It was such a cute and thoughtful detail, and the restroom was also spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Recommend making a reservation in advance. It was a great experience and the set menu was very fulfilling.

If you're looking for authentic sushi in Scarborough this is the place to visit…read more I came here with my boyfriend for a fancy date night. We got one omakase course for 1 and ordered 2 additional rolls to share between us. All the fish was so delicious and fresh - however the shrimp (head) tasted terrible. The roll was decently larger and delicious. Keep in mind this place is pricey, but it makes sense for the quality of the sashimi. For the two of us ( and we weren't even full after) it was ~$160. The restaurant only has 4 tables and it definitely looked a bit run down, so ambiance is defo on the lower end. Service was very attentive by the nice waitress. Ultimately, Will I be back? Yes, if I was craving high-end sushi. I would choose this place over any of those fancy omakase opening downtown. For the hello kitty fans, the entire basement and bathrooms are hello kitty themed which was such a nice surprise.

The waitress was very nice to greet and serve everyone. The menu has a la carte and some set combo. For me I don't really found the menu particularly too attractive with the food you get and the price you pay for. I felt like they emphasized that they have Wagyu sliders on the set menu, which they said it's a good value for what you get. To me, I found this Wagyu sliders aren't that much better; it's no different than regular burger to what I tasted. The sashimi given are salmon, tuna, salmon belly, and a white fish. Overall, I don't know if I will go back again. There isn't anything that make me want to visit again or wanted to try.

There's not much change to the interior, still clean and spacious with the cutest little chopstick holders and the service is still great. They are very polite and efficient despite being busy. We decided to try something new this time and ordered a sushi, sashimi and roll set with some extra stuff on the side. Honestly, I enjoyed this way more than the set menu. The sashimi very thick and fresh with a good variety. It's rare when I even say the herring with the yellow roe is tasty. The sushi's were nice as they had some different ones that aren't usually in sets, like inari sushi, and the rolls were actually specialty rolls (I might be biased, I'm a sucker for good rolls and inari sushi). We also ordered some takoyaki which was good and shrimp tempura was big and crispy. Soft shell crab was okay but I think I prefer it more inside the rolls than on its own. Overall a very enjoyable meal and would definitely recommend the sushi, sashimi and roll set. A little pricey but worth!

This is a very popular and good Japanese restaurant…read more We came on 2026-07-04 for dinner. We ordered the following: 1. Sashimi Moriawase 18 pcs ($58). 2. Tamago Maki 6 pcs ($6.25). 3. Eddie's Maki 8 pcs ($23). 4. Sake Don ($27). 5. Chicken Teriyaki Set ($23.75). 6. Kinmedai Sashimi 3 pcs ($22). Each main dish comes with a dessert. We chose vanilla ice cream, black sesame ice cream, and yuzu pudding x 2. The service was excellent. Sashimi Moriawase had 18 pieces of Sashimi. It was beautifully plated with vibrant colours. The pieces were very fresh and some were thickly sliced. Delicious. The Tamago Maki had 6 pieces and were entirely eaten by my son. It's like he hasn't heard of sharing! The Eddie's Maki consists of Seared Salmon, Unagi, and Avocado. The Sake Don is Salmon Sashimi on Sushi Rice. My son ate this entire dish. The Chicken Teriyaki Set comes with miso soup, green salad, and steamed rice. The chicken was quite tender. The Kinmedai Sashimi was on the daily specials menu. It was presented well. The Kinmedai is a highly prized deep-sea fish and had a mild unami-packed flavour. There is a sushi bar where you can see yhe sushi chefs work, but there is no counter seating. The diners were very loud. If you pay by cash, you get 5% off. If you have a VIP membership card, you get 10% discount when paying cash; I got that card. The colour scheme is black and gold, with Japanese waves as their theme. There were a few private dining areas, separated by curtains. There is free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are separate male/female washrooms. There is free parking in the mall's parking lot. There are 2 booster seats and 3 high chairs for little children. Review 2026-116

I've only ever been here for lunch, and I've only eaten 5 or 6 different dishes because I'm always eating off the lunch special menu. This isn't a bad thing though. Every meal I've had has been great, and I feel no need to venture outside of that zone for now! The first thing I note about their lunches is they're just plain inexpensive. Most are about $10 and come with two small soups (one miso and another one that they don't mention on the menu but comes with most of the meals and is spectacular), a small salad, noodles, a bit of fruit, rice, and a main. Along with chicken and beef dishes, they also have a noodle soup (which is delicious) as well as a sushi dish on the menu (which I'll never try, but I've heard is great), so there's something for everyone. Service is almost always polite and fast, and although the place is a bit older in appearance, it's well take care of and inviting. I'm definitely looking forward to many more meals here!

This cozy sushi restaurant has all the typical sushi restaurant staples (sushi rolls, nigiri sushi,…read moresashimi, donburis (rice bowls), udon noodles, and a few Korean dishes such as bibimbap (the owners are Korean). There was no parking right outside of the restaurant (main road), but you could park on the side residential streets or in a large plaza nearby (about 10 minutes walk). The first thing we noticed when we walked in was the plethora of kids' drawings plastered all over the front door, walls, and the interior of the restaurant. Every table had a set of crayons and paper that you could use to draw. It seemed very family and kids-friendly. The interior was small, cozy, and had a very homey vibe. We were seated in a booth which added to the coziness feeling. Food came out relatively quickly, and everything was decent. Unagi Don came with a good amount of unagi and avocado slices, on top of a heap of rice. Kaizen Don was excellent - it came with thick slices of sashimi (salmon, tuna, shrimps, and imitation crab). Every donburi (rice bowl) came with house green salad and miso soup. We chose to add on a few extra green salads. Sushi rolls that we ordered as a group all came on one long wooden board - perfect for sharing. I wish the asparagus in the asparagus roll wasn't battered and deep-fried (tempura style). My favourite sushi roll was the El Dorado Roll (without rice - salmon, tuna, cooked shrimp, imitation crab, cucumber, and avocado wrapped in cucumber which added extra crunch). Service was efficient, nice, and friendly.

We both opted for the sashimi platter ($17.95). Generous portion of fresh salmon plus one piece of tuna. Includes a spicy salmon roll, lettuce salad, edamame, daikon salad and a cup of miso soup. We also added a side order of tempura shrimp ($11.95). Salmon sashimi was nicely trimmed (no 'chewy' bits) and soft in texture. Spicy salmon roll had about twice the amount of salmon compared to other places. It made for a 'big' one bite. Rice nicely seasoned and soft. Tempura was crispy without being oily. All in all the amount of food for the price is extremely reasonable. Keep in mind this is a sit down restaurant not a fast food take out joint. Service friendly, establishment clean (green safe rating). So happy to have discovered this tiny gem.

The service was lovely and server was attentive. The menu itself is very no fuss - they didn't have a lot of fish options besides tuna and salmon but they had a lot of cooked meat options like unagi, teriyaki beef, chicken, pork, etc. I ordered the chirashi bowl and it was very small but good otherwise. I do wish they had given more fish but it was close to closing time so they probably didn't have very many left. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to try sushi but prefer cooked meat dishes. It's a good alternative for anyone who can't eat fish and you'd be supporting a local mom and pop shop.
