Fresh, no-frills sashimi Atmosphere: The restaurant is quite small and very clean, with a sushi and sashimi bar for the chef and smaller tables and booths in the main area. The decor was nice and clean, good for smaller groups, families, and friends or for take out. Food: We ordered a large sashimi platter and also received our choice of maki as we paid with cash and ordered over $50. The sashimi platter had quite a few varieties for 60 pieces, including salmon, surf clam, octopus, sweet shrimp, scallop, squid, tuna and a few others. Everything was cleaned very well and tasted very fresh. The kou maki was also nicely torched with some salmon on top, and scallop, mango, tobiko, and avocado within. You could also purchase cuts of fish from the fridge and ask them to slice it for sashimi for you. Service: The service was very friendly, and courteous. They received quite a few orders online in that time, and there was very quick with two chefs behind the counter and a person managing orders and taking care of all the tables. Would love to visit again and try other types of sashimi. read more

It's nice quiet restaurant within a busy plaza! The service was amazing for just one server working - the chef also gave us the fatty cut for tuna sashimi and it was delicious! Love how they have mixed platters for maki and sashimi. read more

Kou Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Initially I thought this place looked pretty good and prices were not bad so we ordered takeout. Keep in mind you pay cash, there's 10% discount. There's a small dine-in section and around 6:30pm it wasn't very busy either. We ordered the Sashimi, Sushi and Maki platter B (65.00$) and we waited about 20 minutes for order to be ready. Shortly after we arrived home, we tried the platter and based on appearance alone the fish was not fresh. In other words, it was 'freshly frozen'. Quality was very disappointing and rice was over cooked it became mushy. Overall, food was a huge disappointment and a waste of our money due to their lack of care in preparing the ingredients. I highly recommend to not try this place out because there are definitely quality sushi spots around the area at a similar price point. Furthermore, not long after eating; our stomach started to hurt and ended up with food poisoning. Avoid this spot at all cost. read more

After our pleasant visit last time on the chirashi don, we decided to give their party trays a try, so we ordered the 90pcs assorted try and changed our salmon sashimi to salmon belly for an additional price of $8. When we got home, we found out that the portions were significantly smaller (as seen in the picture) than the sushi trays we ordered from elsewhere in the past. Yes, there weren't many shaved daikon as fillers but the sizes of each roll were bite size with a mediocre combination of ingredients. The rice and ingredients ratio was well balanced but it may be the sizing issue reflecting the stingy look. Sashimi quality was so-so, nothing too significant that needed to be mentioned except it's just regular sashimi quality. Overall I will not be back. Given the price we paid with the additional "upgrade" to salmon belly (total was about $115+), it's not worth the price for the product you received. It wouldn't be so much of an issue if the vendor use the "correct" platter tray to hold the sushi and make it more filling, making it seem like your platter has more... it's all about the visual. read more

Kou Sushi - 90pcs assorted platter - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

KOU SUSHI . . We came on a Sunday for lunch and dined in. There's only a few tables as they're mostly a takeout restaurant. The tea was self serve and paper plates, wooden chopsticks and soy sauce were provided. . Sashimi Sushi Roll Platter (40pc) 4/5 The sashimi were my favourite. Salmon was super creamy and the other pieces were all fresh as well. Sushi and rolls were yummy too. I quite like their rice here. Would definitely return! read more

A new sushi spot located in Times Square. I ordered the maki roll tray (48 pieces) through their online site. This process went smoothly as I was able to specify a pickup time a few hours later. When I arrived to the shop, the order was ready to go. I was grabbing the tray for takeout, but there are a few tables available for dine in. I paid for my order in store and was on my way. There seems to be a decent variety of maki rolls, however they are on the small side in terms of both fillings and rice. In addition, the rice was slightly overcooked, resulting in the rolls having a mushy texture. The fish was pretty fresh at the very least. Given the other sushi spot in this plaza that has a similar offering, I think I might have to look elsewhere for the time being. Note: 10% cash discount read more

Kou Sushi - Sushi Bars Near Me - Richmond Hill, Ontario

Soft opening 20% off cash only. There are a few tables available for dine in but I opted for take out. I brought a 90pcs party tray that came in two trays. One containing sashimi & sushi and the maki on another tray. The quality of the fish are better than most at a similar price point. I love how the slices of octopus were nested between lemon slices. The pieces of maki however were on the smaller side. Unfortunately a major downfall is that they use the wrong soy sauce. It was extremely salty and should be used for cooking instead... My dad said the soy sauce would definitely be the reason why people won't return. Soy sauce paired with sushi is suppose to be light and bring out the fresh taste of the fish. read more

Over the weekend, I checked out this new sushi place at Times Square in Richmond Hill called Kou Sushi. There are not many dine-in sushi places in this area so it was great to see that they had a small seating area. You can order through their website or at the counter. I ordered the Sushi Sashimi Maki Tray A which contains 40 pieces, Kou Maki, and Black Dragon Maki. The fish was very fresh and the fish slices were cut a decent size. My favourite was the Kou Maki as I loved the torched salmon on top and spicy scallop inside the roll. Being right at Times Square, there is plenty of parking and you can still find parking easily during peak times. Overall, I would definitely come back again to check out the other items such as the Chirashi Don! read more

Dine-in Japanese restaurant that serves their tea in paper cups, that should set your expectations. Overall all is a 3 star experience in every way. If you want to mainly provide take out service, maybe try changing the dining tables to bar seats. You still have some dine customers especially for lunch hour.... We ordered a 40pcs platter for just the 2 of us, but it's not enough so we need to order an extra chirashi don. The quality of the food is not that fresh, it's not bad to the point of being not safe for consumption but it feels very low quality. For the price they charge, please give us something better. There are lots of Japanese restaurants nearby, if they want to have a successful business, they need to do better. I personally will not come back again. read more

Picked up 4lbs of salmon as we were having a DIY sushi party for 10. They even sliced it for us. We went during their October special which was 1lb for 15% off. It was a good price as the salmon sashimi was really fresh and good amount of fatty. We haven't tried anything else so I can't comment on that. We wanted to pick up some uni as well but unfortunately they did not have any. This is a pick up spot for nonna lia's which I am familiar with, they have the best tiramisu! I would come back again to order their sashimi and pick up tiramisu. read more

Solid sushi restaurant. The fish was good as I had a Tuna Sashimi Bowl for lunch. Came with Miso soup and salad. Service was good for a casual lunch. Place was clean and i saw no issues. Good solid lunch for $20 No lunch specials or anything below that. read more

Overall an average sushi spot. I wasn't disappointed but not especially impressed either. I did enjoy the maki and found the sashimi cut at a good thickness. I would recommend it for those in the area looking for a quick dine in sushi fix as most sushi restaurants in this area are takenl out only. They also have a unique self serve tea corner, offering different tea bag flavours for you to choose from to make your own cup. We did find it a little strange how everything was served with disposable utensils, bowls/plates, cups, etc considering the price we paid and asking for a dine in experience. In terms of service, other than taking your order, this dine in experience was designed to be a self serve style. read more

Got some sashimi take out. Salmon and salmon belly was good. Pretty fresh. Tori was great but the only thing was when I brought it home it was still partially frozen. Have to thaw for another 2 hrs and use a paper towel to absorb the excess moisture. Didn't expect I need to do that. read more

Tried out this new sushi place at metro square. I was excited to see a new place as I normally get my sushi from Hug. At first glance I could tell the pricing was higher than your average sushi place. We ordered the 90pcs tray for $95 and a few other rolls on the side. When I looked at the product I could tell it wasn't going to be enough food for our party. The rolls were small and very stingy looking. It looked like sushi you get from AYCE places when they are trying to put as less filling and rice as much as possible. The sashimi and rolls were fresh but too small and thinly sliced for it to be 'worth the price'. Most places fill their rolls with salmon or crab, this restaurant fills it with "cheaper fillings". For example the inside of a green dragon roll is just the tempura shrimp. Overall I don't think I will be returning as the value for money for the product you get is underwhelming. read more

Great portions! The below lasted me 3 meals though I could have stretched it to 4 - by adding vegetables to go with my unagi don lol ! There was definitely plenty of rice to go around. The mango roll was complimentary on uber eats if you ordered $40 in total. Everything tasted pretty fresh to me, give it a try if you're in the mood to try something other than your usual spot! read more

I got the party tray and some rolls. I like the evenness and smaller rice to fish ratio for all the sushi. The rolls were really nice. Especially the kou special roll because it has torched salmon and scallops inside. Not often you find these kinds of rolls. My only advice would be to have the rolls thicker. read more
