They have quite a few special roll options, though most were derivatives of California and Dynamic rolls. Tried the Lion King and Tataki Attack. Both were good with thin rice layers and relatively fresh seaweed wraps. I liked the Lion King better since it had more fillings. Chicken Karaage was so-so, more like pre-made chicken popcorn than authentic karaage. Shrimp Tempura was good - big shrimps wrapped in the thin, light and crispy batter. Service was great, the staff was very considerate - created a bigger space for us and added tea and napkins timely. Overall, a decent spot for sushi if you're in the area, but nothing that would make me drive across town.

We showed up around 5:30 pm for an early dinner on Good Friday and still had to wait about half hour. What was ordered: Chicken karaage rice bowl Sushi and sashimi combo Sushi roll combo The verdict? The sashimi was good. Thick fresh slices. The roll (a version of California roll) was really disappointing. Way too much crab salad filler. The chicken karaage rice bowl was incredibly plain. Pieces of karaage on top of rice drizzled with mayo. The service was good but there wasn't enough to set them apart.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

The sushi…read moreis consistently fresh and flavorful, with every roll hitting that sweet spot of texture, fish quality, and balanced seasoning. The Aburi Hamachi Oshi had a great char and was the standout because, honestly, blowtorched fish just wins every time. The Double Salmon Maki might look basic on paper, but it surprises me on every visit with how good it actually is. The seared butterfish in the Forbidden roll was rich and silky, and the seared scallop in The Fantasy roll was just as satisfying. No notes, just great sushi.

The environment is clean and typical of a Japanese Eatery and you'll notice some cheezy decorations to keep you aware that you're in for a Japanese Meal. Notice the staff in Casual Daily attire at the Sushi Bar, he offered me a seat as I look at the Lunch Specials and the Menu. There were some Ramune Drinks listed on 8x11s taped to the walls as long as another that listed a Sushi & Sashimi Lunch and a Lady Lunch. The Maki's posted seem to be quite Canadian in nature such as Crispy Maki, Silver Roll and Snowman. I hear the staff speak Chinese quite a bit between themselves which is no surprise at all within the Vaughan Japanese restaurant scene. Chicken Udon(Lunch Special $6.99) was nothing exciting to speak of. 3 ingredients in total consisting of some low quality Udon, Teppan fried Dark Meat Chicken and a Broth with a touch of sweetness. Sashimi Appetizer($6.99) didn't look appetizing but I have to say at least it was of decent portion quatity the size of 2 Sashimi pieces(2-bite). Looks can show how obvious the Sashimi was not cut with skill hands while the Fish especially Tuna didn't seem fresh and most surprising neither was the Pickled Ginger.

It was kind of loud, but just lots of people talking, so it's fine. Server was very attentive to our table and kept it clean. Did not like the crème brûlée at all here as it was very eggy. The torched white fish was very dirty water tasting too. Otherwise, everything else we got was good.

You order by iPad and there's a good selection. 95% is sushi/Japanese. 5% is Thai. The food is prepared and delivered quickly. Please don't feel the need to everything at once as it comes out the kitchen fast. The food is good. No big complaints. My kids liked the won ton soup. The hot and sour soup was ok - could have been a little more "hot"/spicy. The sashimi seemed fresh. Sushi rolls were nicely presented. The fried rice was good. Teriyaki chicken and beef were good too. My biggest problem and the likely reason for not returning - sitting by the window, for which there are many tables/seats, the place was freezing! We had to wear our jackets inside the restaurant. I'm sure they know they have an insulation problem as well weren't the only ones wearing jackets inside. It was just uncomfortable to sit there and eat at it was just too cold.

One highlight was the variety of torched oshizushi options, which added a nice premium touch to the usual AYCE lineup. We also really enjoyed the grilled/teppanyaki items, along with the salads (avocado, imitation crab, and seaweed all delivered). But the real standout? The desserts. The mango sago pomelo and soft serve ice cream were easily the stars of the meal--definitely LEAVE SOME ROOM for them!! The only minor downside is that the space could use a bit of a refresh, as it's starting to show its age. That said, everything was overall clean, and the service was friendly.

Space looked clean for the most part. Service was quick - however with most all you can eat places, the amount you order , almost never arrives correctly - some things we had to re-order as they never showed up the first time. Fish was pretty fresh - but not on par with Vancouver's level - but price here seems very reasonable. The wasabi here was somehow underwhelming , i kept mixing and mixing and somehow didn't get a spice kick out of it. Maybe it's a skill issue, don't even know. I will probably find a chance to explore this place again in the future.

"Kibo" means hope. And if you're hoping for tasty takeout sushi, this is the place for you!…read more Kibo Sushi has expanded quickly with over 30 franchise locations in the GTA. Some have compared it to the McDonald's of sushi. So what's their secret sauce? They pride in using fresh ingredients, prepped to create one-of-a-kind rolls, and serving the food with smiles. From my experience, they stay true to their motto. The hope is that working hard will allow them to be rewarded. Kibo's grand maki options are no joke, and my favorite is Aburi Scallop Dragon Roll: a dynamited rolls topped with scallops, slightly torched to elevate a savoury umami mouthful. Takoyaki Tempura & Seaweed Wrap apps are also on point. All of their grand maki are generously prepped; some come with soft-shell crab or lobster tail as well. As another example: the Weston Roll is a unique offering for this location by Weston Rd with cream cheese, crabmeat, red pepper & avocado stuffed into a huge deep fried roll. Creative, and somehow the flavours work for a delicious meal. For a quick bite, there are $15 daily specials including a Dynamite Roll + Salmon Sushi combo, and $5 walk-in specials such as the Spicy Tuna Roll & Yam Tempura Rolls. Fresh ingredients shine through. For a small surcharge, it's worth upgrading to a tempera style roll for some bliss & crunchiness. Glad many takeout sushi options are nearby, hope Kibo remains a staple in Woodbridge!

I've been to Kibo Express a few times now. It's located in a plaza with many other shops and…read moreusually has plenty of parking. This location doesn't have any seating, so it's primarily for pick-up/takeout only. I usually order the maki, sushi, and sashimi combo, which I think is a pretty decent value and tasted great. I usually get this when I have a little bit of time before meetings because it often takes about 10-15 minutes. It comes with miso soup and a salad. Recently, I ordered the love boat for two, which I think is quite the deal. It comes with miso soup, a salad, edamame, and vegetable and shrimp tempura. You get a red dragon roll, a spicy salmon maki roll, along with 16 pieces of nigiri sushi and sashimi. The sushi is pretty standard. If you pay cash, then you can get 10% off the price.
