Best Japanese restaurant in Canada

C	Claire Hoon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Service was excellent and the presentation of food was well done but that's about all the good things I can say. If you're a fan of authentic Japanese cuisine and enjoy the freshness and lightness of sashimi, avoid this place. Firstly our tuna tataki was overpowered by the strong, garlicky sauce. The seared scallops were overcooked and lost the fresh sweetness. The torched salmon makimono did not have any taste of salmon because of how strong the condiments were. The balance of all the dishes was off. The only good thing was the tempura. For sharing plates the portion was barely enough. Expensive and disappointing.
A	Andrew Cain on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We had a great experience at Ki. Morgan our server was attentive and helpful. The food was fresh and delicious and the drinks were tasty. There’s a modern feel to the same with nice lighting and it wasn’t too busy. The sashimi platter was incredible. Unfortunately I ate it all before I took a photo which is a great reason to head back soon. I highly recommend Ki
K	Kaizer P on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Speechless how amazing and fresh the food was at Ki. They are the number 1 Japanese spot for a reason. My friend did the Sake and Japanese whiskey flights, and for each of them, the hosts was extremely thorough and well knowledged on the craft. Will be back here in the very near future.
N	Natalie Nasrallah (nnnasrallah) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Delicious! It was such a great experience! I should have taken a photo of the menu to tell you everything we got but I will say that the So Matcha Fun cocktail was a hit. Their Torched Salmon and Butterfish rolls were absolutely phenomenal. Also the service - 10/10. Super professional and super sweet!
S	Sabrina Paez-Parent on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ki is clearly an upscale restaurant with highly trained staff, beautiful interior, elaborate menu and expansive drink selection. There are no criticisms for Ki if you are looking for contemporary Japanese food with a fusion spin. If you are hoping to get simple sushi, this may not be the restaurant for you, as there is a heavy emphasis on experimentation - eggplant and miso, unique sauces to name a few! The fish is high quality, but can be over powered by the rest of the non-traditional ingredients. If you are going with guests that are so-so about sushi/fish, there is alot on the menu that they can still enjoy like sirloin and other cooled meat dishes. Overall, a nice experience but very pricey.
R	Ryan M on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I rate this place 4.5 out of 5 stars. Overall, the food we ordered is alright, it's above average but nothing memorable that would make you itching to come back for more. The portion is on the smaller size considering the price point. Another critique is the limited item on the menu, which means you will get bored easily after multiple visits. On the bright side, the sushi is amazing and I wish they have more selections or cuts of fish. In terms of service, the staffs were amazing, very professional, kind, and courteous. The foods came in great pace allowing the patrons to take a break in between courses. All in all, I would give this place another shot and modify my review if it improves.
N	Natasha Marangoni on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place has a very nice ambiance to it. I really enjoyed and appreciated the unique cocktails they offered as well. Although I went for the sushi, I ended up loving the karaage chicken the best. It was so tender and just delicious. The sushi was decent but for the price, I wouldn’t go out of my way to get it again. The staff were very nice and friendly although the service was quite slow.
M	Marissa C on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is definitely upscale so expect to pay a lot. The ambience is classy; definitely a nice place for drinks with coworkers or even a date. Apparently they have the largest sake offering in the entire country? Menu here is great and has a lot of variety; however I expected them to offer more unique dishes. The food however was definitely fresh and they had their own spin on “typical” Japanese dishes. While it was decent and different, I’m not sure I’d consider it worth the price. If I wanted sushi, I’d prefer to go to a smaller family-run establishment for half the price. But again, you are paying for the experience and ambience. While the servers were very friendly and took the time to explain the menu, it was a bit difficult to navigate a small table. Our server had to remove some items from our table just to make room for the 3-4 dishes we ordered. While I had a great overall experience, I’m not sure I could justify coming back on a regular basis.
