Kiu Japanese - Markham

My first time here, they did not disappoint me at all. 2 sushi dishes, 1 appetizer and 1 sashimi portion are just enough for two people. Sashimi is fresh, good taste, and the decoration of the dish is also very impressive. I really like the beef tataki, which has beef, garlic, and pomegranate flavors. Reasonable price, not too expensive. In particular, the staff is friendly and gentle. Besides, the space is also very comfortable, clean, located on the 2nd floor of the mall. I will visit next time.

This is my favourite Japanese restaurant in Markham. The quality of the raw fish is excellent. They have great selection and you can ask them to specially fly in specific items in advance. I've been here many times. The only thing is their appetizers are hit or miss. Their ramen is excellent too because it comes from Isshin downtown. If you have a large enough party you can request that they serve your sushi and sashimi on a 9 foot long board. Service has usually been great too. Friends and I booked the private room once where they created a unique set menu for us based on our budget, and that was a great experience.

I 'm surprised with the bad reviews. I grew up in Japan and I thought the food at Kiu was pretty good and close to authentic. I have been there maybe 5-6 times and have had Ramen, various appetizers and sushi. I had no complains. I can only guess maybe people would like it more if they tweaked the food for Canadian audience??... I don 't know... I wouldn 't like it if they did so though. It might be pricier than other average Japanese- 'ish ' restaurants in the area but it is a beautiful restaurant. I personally do not mind to pay a bit more for a nice ambience.

The food was very good. The service excellent. We had a friend with a seafood allergy and they were so good, ensure the food is safe for her to eat. Amazing!

Beautiful upscale, clean, cozy Japanese restaurant next to Cineplex Theater on the second floor of the mall. Love the decor and ambience! Excellent food quality, and very polite and friendly customer service. Price is on the higher end but definitely worth it! Would love to go back and recommend to others!
