Ki-nda dry…During my youngling years, used to come here with friends when it was a Chinese restaurant. Then came a couple of times when the Neptune group took over and turned it into this Japanese restaurant.It’s located right across the street from the New West skytrain station. There are a handful of free parking spaces available on its private parking lot, otherwise it’s paid street parking or the parkade.Inside is a pretty basic layout with booth seats by the window, tables to the middle and the sushi bar to the inner corner. Very casual setting.Here were the food I ordered;1. Miso soup (Complimentary). Nice and hot the way I like it, thank you!2. Tako wasabi. Fresh and pretty good, probably one of the best price so far for this dish compared to other places.3. Kani sunomono. First, it was too sweet (added too much sugar), secondly the amount of crab meat was almost a joke (come on guys, the prepackaged low quality crab meat is cheap), lastly the crab meat was dry! (Hint: There’s a new supplier has better and whole crab meat chunks, better and same price!)4. Soft shell crab. Decent size, lightly battered and seasoned just the way it should!5. Oyster motoyaki. It was okay but I would like it more if they were made from fresh oysters on a shell.6. Sakura roll. Looked very promising like a blossom in the menu but in reality just another basic roll with no hint of Sakura whatsoever. (It’s called a Sakura roll, add some pink or red to it!!!)7. Red tuna, albacore toro, salmon, chopped scallops, tamago, ikura nigiris. The toro was missing that butteriness, the chopped scallops and tamago were okay, ikura was so so, the salmon and red tuna were dry.8. Assorted sashimi. I honestly am shocked on how every piece of the sashimis could be so dry and tasteless. It literally seems like the chef dab dry every single piece of sashimi with bounty paper towels.The services here were quite accommodating and friendly, at least during my visit here.As for the food, I remember it used to be decently okay, maybe different chefs?! It was somewhat disappointing during this visit; some of the ingredients were off, the sashimis and nigiris were quite dry. This is a prime location for any restaurant in New West and offers great potentials if it offers their customers quality food and service, unfortunately it fell quite short this time around.

I went with two friends to have lunch after school. We waited over 15 minutes just to order. I had to get up and call the server. When the food arrived, it was the wrong dish but we were too hungry to send it back. We asked for the bill 3 times and the waiting time was long. The WORST service ever. I am definitely not coming back again and do not even recommend the place.

I love ki sushi ive been going there for years even before it renovated.
Ki Sushi is not the best sushi, but it's the perfect balance of price to quality. I have been coming to this place for almost 10 years now, and the quality of the products and great location make it still my favorite place for sushi. I highly recommend the spicy salmon sashimi, they have the best spicy sauce out of everywhere I've been.

I want to love this place for the pricing (because you hardly see prices like this anymore in greater Vancouver), but unfortunately the sushi ingredients are just not fresh enough to justify a perfect score.I got the combo A and the dynamite roll was soggy, the cali rolls tasted off.That being said I will probably go back:The ladies working there are very nice and friendly, and I wonder if trying a different menu item would change my mind.

Lackluster food and poor service.Let the dying Koi at the entrance be your first warning to stay away from this restaurant.Service was poor.The biggest concern is the service, which at best can be described as confused. Tea was never refilled, food was served randomly (main, 5 mins wait, next main, 5-10 mins appetizer, 5 minute main.) and a request for a glass of water took about 20 minutes. Finished plates were never removed, which might not be an issue if they didn't literally pile up.Food was okay.It met the definition of food. Tuna Sashimi was okay, the smoked salmon on the California rolls was fine.The atmosphere was interesting. The dying fish at the entrance set that ambiance, reminding me of the dead fish I'd soon eat. Other than that I can't say it was memorable.
