Seriously though I think you should all come here often for lunch dinner whenever honestly you should come here like ASAP rocky! The service was decent but don't be expecting crazy theatrics, just low key candle lit fiasco. The boat on the menu looks absolutely crazy it is only $54 and it is literally a boat of sushi you half to use a boat in order to catch the fish that are going in sushi so I feel that it is an interesting idea to incorporate the mode of transportation into the meal but it's not a real boat ha ha. P.S. The bathroom was like a portal to a whole new world, wild experience. For the record, if I could give it 6 stars I would! Lets take that one star review from Kelsey's that I wrote... and slap it on this bad boi.

Sake sushi is a good sushi take out restaurant…read more THE AMBIANCE: The Ambiance is okay. They have a festive light christmas tree attached to the wall, which I found to be a little too bright and it might be triggering to some people. The restaurant doesn't have any seating and it took them about 20 minutes to make our order from when we placed it to when we had to pick it up. THE SERVICE: The service was good. The employees were friendly and they threw in a complimentary order of edamame. THE FOOD: Aburi Salmon Roll: The aburi salmon roll is called an aburi salmon roll but it does not have avocado in the middle like traditional aburi rolls. When I was ordering the roll, the employee told me it was more of a salmon torched roll where the salmon is placed on top of the rice (kind of like nigiri). The roll tasted okay but it wasn't as good as my go to place. Salmon Avocado Roll: The salmon avocado roll was good and the salmon tasted fresh. The Edamame: The edamame was good and tasted like you would expect it to. Would I Return? Possibly but I might try another sushi restaurant in the area before going back.

I was looking for good sushi places around and saw that Kibo Sushi had an extensive menu and great…read morereviews so we decided to pop by for lunch! We all each got miso soup and a salad as a starter. I got the Maki Set B which includes the dynamite roll and spicy salmon roll ($15.95). My sister and I split the butterfish roll ($6.95). My brother got the bento box with shrimp and tempura veggies ($13.95). In terms of portion sizes, I have not seen a bento box with this much food and this great of a deal at other restaurants before. For the sushi, it was delicious and presentation was beautiful. The maki set was served on a wood board with ample wasabi and ginger. The rice to fish ratio was excellent and the fish tasted so fresh. I loved the dynamite roll and the tempura was still extra crispy. This was also my first time having butterfish. Not a sushi connoisseur so I can't eloquently describe what I tasted but I know it tasted great. The prices are fair and for what quality sushi you're getting, I felt it was worth it. Kibo Sushi also has a $5 and $10 cash and carry deal where you can purchase a small or large tray of their prepackaged sushi. It looked like a good deal as well. Service was great and the sushi came out pretty fast. Everything was very filling.

Reserved the Tempura Omakase earlier this month and it was a stand-out experience. The interior is…read moreJapanese minimalistic. There was only one other party there for the sushi omakase, and as the only group participating in the tempura one (in a separate area/counter from the sushi), they remarked that it was essentially a private party! The chef was animated throughout and explained all the ingredients of our meal in detail, from where each originated from (all fish and even the garnishes came imported from different areas in Japan), while making jokes and engaging with us. We started off with the Kuruma Ebi, a giant prawn with a fried crunchy spider made of the prawn head. We had a dish of three flavoured salts and the chef would recommend what to dip each piece into. Next was the wagyu wrapped in a shiso leaf, which was one of the top three courses for me. The wagyu was cut into pieces and was so juicy it melted in your melt. Paired with the matcha salt, I didn't want it to end. Then we had a fried whole fish dipped in mushroom salt. The hokkaido scallop was served with yuzu zest on top, which really elevated the sweetness and freshness of the seafood. Then we had my favourite of the night - a mountain of uni topping a shiso leaf! He kept adding more to it and instructed us to eat it in one bite - the most decadent and heavenly thing ever! The vegetable tempura dishes were also very good, with the stand-out being the mushroom with its concentrated aroma in such a small bite (Chef Saito mentioned it costs $90+ per lb). The abalone was also good and served on the shell. Finally, we had the fried mini crab (like a crunchy chip), and sakura shrimp chasuke in a fish bone broth (so much umami and felt like a warm hug). Throughout the meal, the waitress would refill my tea and collect our abalone shells. We ended off the meal with dessert (blueberry ice cream for my friends, a homemade matcha tofu cheesecake for me). I would 100% return to try their sushi omakase now!

Been here a few times now and can safely say that they've stayed consistent and reliable. Initially…read more$55 for a 10 course lunch omakase a few years ago, not only has the price and quality stayed the same but today we walked by and saw the lunch omakase is now $48. Note the photos are a mix of multiple omakase lunches. Today we had yellowtail, scallop, sea bream, snowcrab, bonito, squid with uni, bluefin tuna (lean), handroll, and tamago for 8 pieces of sushi and 1 handroll. We also had a miso soup as one course. I think this is a great experience for someone looking for a more accessible omakase option. I wish they would have an option with more courses and of course a higher price point for days when you feel like a longer meal. I usually consider it a light lunch. The two chefs are always willing to talk more about the fish and the menu. There is one server who is the hostest as well. There are just about 10 seats. Interior is simple and calm. We will be back!

We walked into a warm, intimate space that works well for a relaxed lunch or dinner before a show nearby. The restaurant is small, but the seating is well arranged, and the low lighting creates a calm atmosphere that fits the traditional style of the food. The location in the Entertainment District makes it a convenient choice, especially for anyone looking for a sit-down meal in the area. The sushi is clearly the highlight here. We tried a selection of nigiri and sashimi and found the fish tasted fresh, with salmon, hamachi, and tuna consistently standing out for their clean flavor and texture. The cuts were generous and well prepared, letting the quality of the seafood speak for itself. Rolls like the King Crab Maki and Negitoro Maki were well balanced without being overloaded with sauces, and the rice had a good texture that held up against the fillings. The bento boxes and chirashi are also good options if you are looking for a more filling meal, offering a mix of fresh fish, rice, and sides that round out the experience. Service is generally friendly and attentive, though the restaurant can get busy during dinner hours. We noticed the flow of the meal was smooth, and the staff checked in at the right moments without hovering. Reservations are a good idea if you are visiting on weekends or before nearby performances, as the small size of the dining room means tables fill up quickly. The pacing of the meal was comfortable, and we never felt rushed even as the restaurant filled up. Pricing falls into the mid-to-upper range for sushi in downtown Toronto. Portions are not oversized, but the freshness and careful preparation make it feel worthwhile if quality is your priority. The quality of the fish and the attention to detail in the preparation justify the cost, and the overall experience feels considered and well executed. Kinoya Sushi and Bar is a reliable spot for fresh sushi in the downtown core. It may not be the flashiest sushi restaurant in Toronto, but the consistently high-quality fish, well-executed menu, and convenient location make it an easy place to return to when you are craving good Japanese food. The balance of freshness, atmosphere, and service makes it a dependable choice for a satisfying meal in the Entertainment District.
