Kimono Japanese Grill & Sushi

Had lunch here with my mom. Staff was mildly unfriendly, nothing glaring but enough to dampen the experience. I could have forgiven the service if the food had been good but it was ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. One roll in, I couldn’t eat the sushi anymore so I turned to the tempura which was cold and greasy and came with the weirdest tempura sauce I have ever tasted. Everything about the meal was off, it tasted like a group of kids with poor hygiene and no kitchen skills had decided to cook lunch. The best part? Both of us had really upset stomachs within half an hour. Never again. So many better options in the neighbourhood.

I only ate here once and I got a very upset stomach so I have not been back. When I picked up my take out the staff was friendly .The place always has customers in it so they must be doing something right. I might give this place another chance. They have a big sign up that they have quinoa and brown rice sushi.

I went for a couple of times there with my wife and son, usually Friday night or weekends and I tried every time to ignore the staff rudeness. The place is so convenient as we live very close so we kept coming.
There is a lady, probably the boss who’s serving at the table and this Friday she told us right after we ordered that we are not allowed to share — very rude and impolite that makes us feel uncomfortable all evening. I went for All you can eat, my wife the Silver sushi and my son Miso soup and some spring rolls.
Also while we were eating she almost screamed at me because I didn’t eat too many of the steamed green beans (whatever they call it), asking me if I don’t like them. Such a rude place! She made us feel unwanted.
They lost us as customers. Sorry but I just cannot recommend this place to anyone. I left 0 tips unlike other times because I just couldn’t stand it anymore.

Went with the bf for AYCE dinner for $ 18.99. Sushi was fresh and tasty. I really recommend the chicken udon soup. The broth was so sweet and refreshing! The yam tempura was very good, with not too much tempura so you could actually taste the sweet potato! Service was good too. One waitress was awesome, super friendly and polite. Another was quite unpleasant and seemed really detached. As it was our first time going, I will just assume that she had a bad day. Both waitresses came by regularly to offer top ups of green tea, which was very nice. I’ll be returning to kimono in the future!

I should have listened to the reviews and not gone here. The first thing I noticed when I was seated that the front window was really dirty. Should have been a warning sign. Also there was no air conditioning which I found bizarre as the place has quite a few seats, it’s not just a quickie take away or anything. I got the lunch AYCE for 11.99.
I started with the miso soup. It was average. The yam tempura maki was made with undercooked yam. It was crunchy and not just from the tempura coating. The spicy salmon roll was gross because the salmon was obviously frozen previously and massacred in the cutting process. I also noticed the roll was warm. Not like sitting out for 30 minutes on a counter but like warmer than normal room temperature. The mackerel nigiri had very little fish. The fish was again warm. The surf clam nigiri was also warm. Seeing a pattern I pondered whether they might be lacking refrigeration as well as a/​c. I’m not a food safety expert but something tells me letting raw fish sit in the summer heat without cooling and then selling it to people might become an issue before long.
I was disgusted with the sushi by this time so I went on to try the kitchen side of the menu. The yam tempura was good. Cooked through this time. The gristle and joint (errr… chicken) fried rice was bland and contained very little flesh in favour of bits of undercooked connective tissue. The chicken karaage was very nice actually. Along with the kitchen stuff I did get a spicy avocado roll. Their spicy mayo really is spicy which is nice and the avocado had a slight chill so it wasn’t as nasty as the fish.
I might have sampled something else but the server was quite insistent I move on to dessert and she suggested ice cream. I gave in and got the vanilla ice cream. It has been melted and refrozen in the serving dish. It’s gross enough that the ice cream had melted and refrozen but why is it necessary to keep it in the serving bowl? Is the staff really too lazy to prepare a scoop of ice cream on demand?
The other thing that bothered me slightly was that the server never asked me how the meal was. It’s probably to her benefit because I was pretty highly annoyed, but still she could have made the effort. This place gets an F-​. I won’t go back.

I have been here a handful of time because it got rave reviews from an acquaintance. It worked well for a large group of friends when we dined in. As it is an All You Can Eat, we were obviously satisfied with the menu and options. Nothing extremely amazing but substantial.
I ordered delivery about three times, and once got food poisoning. The sushi boat was always tasteless and nothing was fresh.
I ordered takeout recently and came in about closing time. As I waited for my food, a staff member was mopping the floor with the most putrid smelling mop water I had ever smelled. It was worst than sewer, homeless funk and rotten flesh mixed together. I wondered – if they don’t bother to EVER change their mop water – how clean is everything else? I hightailed it outta there and haven’t returned… and won’t.
Go up the street for better sushi at Zen Sushi on Heddington/​Eglington – 3 mins away. Don’t waste ur $$$

Ordered in. My mistake.
Order took 1hr+ to be delivered. Tempura app arrived room temperature and without dipping sauce.
Had the salmon salad roll, was supposed to come with roe on top, and none was present. Doesn’t look as appetizing as other sushi places’.
Going back to Rainbow sushi.

We got delivery, which took about as long as predicted (45 min).
You get what you expect — a box of sushi with a cup of miso soup and the ubiquitous iceberg lettuce salad with that miso/​carrot dressing. The sushi was… a bit tasteless, strangely enough. I normally don’t have to put soy sauce on sushi but this needed a bit.
The quantities were absolutely huge for what you pay, and if you order over $ 20 you get free delivery and a cup of fresh fruit.
Overall I was happy with dinner but I have other sushi places that I’ll go back to instead of this one.
EDIT: due to the huge portions I was not able to finish everything last night, so I have kaiso salad for breakfast. :3 This forgives a multitude of sins… I am a sucker for kaiso salad and this one is amazing.

$ 17 AYCE Sushi Deal buys a great variety of very fresh sushi, excellently prepared. The butterfish offerings were especially fresh and tasty. Unagi was a bit overcooked, but also very fresh. We did not get a chance to try the tempura, but the gyoza were quite good.
No décor to speak of. Service was friendly but seemed a bit hurried when taking orders and lax when delivering.
Good when you are in the mood for AYCE sushi.
