Came during the holidays. Not particularly busy on weekday night. There was only 1 waitress on…read morefloor and a few guys behind the counter making sushi. 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.

I haven't been here for a while now as we grew tired of the set menu after having it so many times,…read morebut we decided to stop by again and it definitely did not disappoint! 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 place also really clean and has a great environment. My daughter usually gets sick with other places sushi but here she doesn't.

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

You can really tell they take pride in both the quality of the food and the presentation. What made our experience even better was our waitress, Sarah. She was so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. She had such a warm personality and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great customer service like hers makes all the difference. If you're looking for fresh sushi, generous portions, and outstanding service, I highly recommend Nigiriya. We'll definitely be coming back. Thank you, Sarah, for making our visit so enjoyable!

Food 3.5/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbience 3.5/5 An attractive clean looking restaurant with dine-in and take-out. The restaurant has several menu items for sushi and Korean foods and offers a menu of lunch specials. We ordered: Takoyaki Lunch BBQ salmon Donburi Tonkatsu Curry I enjoyed the Takoyaki. The size of the pieces of octopus was decent. My partner enjoyed the Tonkatsu Curry. The curry sauce came in a separate bowl. The best part of the BBQ Salmon Donburi was the avocado, which they gave a generous serving of avocado. In the Donburi, I thought the sushi rice was underwhelming and bland. The BBQ salmon was over barbecued and sooo dry it could not be saved by the lime aioli and teriyaki sauces. Our friend who ordered the sushi really enjoyed their appetizer. Service: This is the first time I can recall that there is no complimentary green tea offered when dining in at a restaurant offering sushi or Korean food. We asked for water and our friend ordered a beer. At about 15 minutes later, the beer was served. After the food arrived, still no water. We asked for the water again, and four little Chinese tea cups of water (100ml) was served. I don't know if this is standard at this restaurant but it stood out as very unusual in my experience. Plenty of parking right outside the restaurant. The restaurant is at the end of a plaza. There was a sign at the door for a sushi platter special on Wednesdays $49 that looked promising. I wanted to like the restaurant more because the dining in area was very pleasant.

My friend, Chris, was in Newmarket for an appointment. He was interested in trying Cynthia's Paradise's AYCE menu. He asked if I'd like to have dinner with him last Wednesday. I said yes. I find that our meal outings lately have been AYCE, stuff-yourself-silly ones. I like that we are both comfortable with each other's food comas! I left work at around 2:30 pm and made a leisurely drive up to Newmarket. 1.5 hours to get here wasn't bad. I eventually drove north along Yonge Street, made a right into the plaza, and parked next to Chris's vehicle. There was plenty of parking, but it did get busy by the time we left at around 7:45 pm. Chris made our reservation for 5 pm. It was perfect, as I tend to have an early dinner after work on Wednesdays. We originally got a booth near the front door. The woman staffer who seated us then said that we had the back booth reserved. We moved ourselves and our water that we got right off the bat to the booth. It was a large booth. It came in handy, as the table was large. We got an iPad with two menus to switch between: - Drinks - Food We got these drinks: - Coke - Diet Coke (me) Drinks are not included in the AYCE price per person. Luckily, there are free refills for pop, which we needed to down all the food that we ordered! I ordered a bunch of items first. The menu is extensive, as there are Thai, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese items. Chris followed suit. We had over thirty items. Oops! Here's the damage that we made: Soups - Wonton - Hot and sour Starters - Mango salad - Smoked duck salad - Sous vide truffle egg (1) - Deep-fried cuttlefish ball (2) - Crispy soft-shell crab (1) - Mango shrimp with cream (3) Tempura - Crab meat (2) - Sweet potato (2) Veggies - Honey garlic crispy bean curd - Okinawa mixed vegetables Sushi - Smoked duck and crabmeat (6) - Torched salmon sushi (spicy) (1) - Torched snapper sushi (spicy) (1) - Tempura crab meat roll (6) - Spicy crab meat hand roll (1) - Smoked duck sushi (1) - Crispy banana avocado roll (4) Dim sum (they take 8 - 9 minutes to prepare) - Steamed pork dumpling (2) - Pork dumplings (2) - Shrimp dumpings (2) - Beef dumpling (2) Thai - Yellow curry chicken - Thai spicy fried rice Korean - Korean spicy beef and bun wrap - Grilled beef rib (3) Teriyaki - Beef - Chicken Noodles - Korean glass noodles with beef (japchae) - Japanese-style chicken udon Overall, the food was yummy. Some dishes that you'd think would have sauce, like the yellow curry chicken, didn't have much. It was like there was a drought with all sauces. Sauces with noodles or sauce on top of sushi rolls were perfect. Favourite dishes: - Japchae (tasty with a ton of flavour and stretchy noodles) - Sous vide truffle egg (flavourful with a spice kick that made boring dishes come to life) - Spicy crab meat hand roll (real crab and a generous size) - Crispy soft-shell crab (so crispy and delicious, with real crab) - Crispy banana avocado roll (unique pairing that tasted like a dessert sushi roll and the flavours worked) Dishes that I wouldn't get again: - Anything torched (torching was barely noticeable and the sushi lacked flavour) - Deep-fried cuttlefish balls (a find-the-cuttlefish journey within doughy balls) - Yellow curry chicken (sauce barely coated the chicken and veggies) - Thai spicy fried rice (there was nothing Thai about this dish, as there was no basil or coconut milk, and it was super oily) Food for thought: - I liked the smoked duck options, which was different. The smoked duck tasted like I was having deli meat. If you don't like smoked meat, you may want to steer clear of it. - The wonton soup was the perfect portion with yummy pork wontons. - The dim sum is decent. The soup dumplings could have had more soup in them, but everything was solid. - Get the Korean spicy beef bao wraps with the mango salad. Chris made the suggestion to add the mango to the spicy beef filling. Stellar! - We didn't get soy for our sushi. We ended up using the tempura dipping sauce instead. - This place does noodles well (japchae and udon) - Shrimp dishes tend to contain large shrimp. The downside ordering a bunch of food from the iPad is that it all came to us at once. The cat robot was frequently asking us to pick up the food from it. I wish that the cat robot would face me, but it never did. Because we got all our food at once, we ended up putting everything on our large circular table and taking a photo of everything before we chowed down. This robot sang happy birthday to the booth behind us. It starts in English. It started the Japanese version, but the server stopped it... haha! We came close to finishing everything! I'd return for a food coma again. (258)

5 Stars - Deserved and Delivered!…read more After a fun-filled, wholesome day at Canada's Wonderland, we were craving sushi and looked up a spot nearby with great reviews. That's how we found Kin Sushi in Vaughan--and let us tell you, those 5-star reviews were absolutely on point. From the moment we stepped in, everything exceeded expectations. The taste? Incredible. Every dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully crafted. We tried a mix of rolls and nigiri, and each bite was better than the last. The presentation was outstanding--true culinary art on every plate. You could tell a lot of pride and precision goes into their food. And the service? Just amazing. Friendly, fast, and attentive without ever being intrusive. The staff made us feel right at home, which was the perfect way to end our long day. Whether you're coming off a day at the park or just in the mood for fantastic sushi, Kin Sushi is an absolute must-visit. We fully agree with the rave reviews--and we'll definitely be back!
