Kibo Sushi House

this review is purely based on takeout, as I’ve never sat in.
That said, I’ve always had amazing friendly service, and fresh delicious food.
I go quite often, and the girls at the front are really nice, they remember my name and what i order every time. I always get a smile and hello from the gents in the kitchen too.
They’re fast, never had to wait too long for my food. I recommend calling ahead on busy weekend nights, as they do get a # of takeout orders.
well-​priced fresh sushi.
definitely my go-​to sushi place in leslieville

I love the staff here. Everyone is always smiling and happy to see you.
I really love the black dragon roll here and order it almost every week since I moved into the neighbourhood. The shrimp tempura is decent. miso soup mehhh… and the chicken teriyaki for me was pretty yucky.
Im a creature of habit and order things which works for me, and the dragon roll or unagi don works for me. My boyfriend had the salmon sashimi and said that it was pretty good but not the best he’s had. But for the price its pretty darn amazing. This sushi place is still better than some of the other sushi places we tried around here. and I love how its so close by and convenient.
I definitely need to order more things on the menu to discover whether i like it or not. but Kibo sushi is my main place to go when Im craving some rolls!

Got delivery and it’s by far the best sushi delivery I’ve gotten. Everything tasted so fresh and delicious!!! Def my fav sushi delivery in the city

First time ordering delivery at this place… And everything was a great experience. From the person who answered the phone, friendly and patient, to the smiling delivery guy.
Sushi was amazing. Absolutely delicious. It’s a little bit pricey for me, but it was worth it. I usually order from another place a bit cheaper and this time I decided to pay a little more and thank god, no regrets on doing so.
Days later, as I write this review, I’m salivating just remembering the taste… 100% recommended.
Philadelphia sushi was outstanding :)

Tried ordering takeout before 10 was told they were closed??? Signs say 1030. Take my business elsewhere.

Since moving to the neighbourhood, this is our go-​to place for sushi delivery! The quality of the sushi has been consistently good and always well put together (and not overstuffed with rice, like some places). We also like that they offer takoyaki (octopus) as an appetizer, which isn’t offered in many places. It is delicious! Staff are always friendly when we go in for lunch or when they come to our door for delivery.

Takeout in 30min, which is pretty fast. The sushi, sashimi and maki were just OK. We used to go to Sushi Marché a lot and because it was sooo good we didn’t bother trying anything else in the area. But Sushi Marché wasn’t great the last couple of times and though we’d try something new. Sushi Marché is still better than this, while this is still better than most takeout sushi.
Ordered the Maki, Sushi, Sashimi combos A & B. Both were decent, certainly enough food for two people. Also came with salad & soup. Sushi was pretty fresh, although a few of the pieces of sushi and sashimi seemed to have a cooked garlicy taste to them. Maybe transferred from the cutting board? Or maybe intended? Either way, not really good. And where’s the shiso leaves? The rice was too tightly packed and lacked flavour. Wasabi was bland and thin.
I’d give this place another go considering it’s about half the price of Sushi Marché, but also half as good.

A good a la carte sushi place in leslieville. Cheap and quality is good.
The two of us ordered a sushi boat and chicken karaage. The chicken karaage is very unique, like other Unilocalers said, very light, crispy, and melts in your mouth. The sushi was big and the rice was nice and soft. We left feeling very full.
The bill up to about $ 40, which isn’t bad at all. They have really good lunch specials that I would definitely want to try someday.
Staff are friendly. The food came pretty quickly. There are private booths that you can request to dine in.

Very good quality traditional sushi. The staff is very friendly. We order from them pretty regularly and the quality is consistent.

I’ve eaten from Kibo Sushi House twice, once for take out and once for dine in. The staff are very friendly especially the main sushi chef, whom I think is the owner. He makes sure to greet you and makes sure that you’re being taken care of by his staff.
The inconsistency in their sushi is definitely a miss. The spicy salmon during the take out was amazing, meanwhile when we dined in and ordered the same thing, it wasn’t as spicy and flavourful. There are some hit and misses, but overall I like their sushi and they’re fresh. I will definitely continue to order from them when I crave japanese food.

We tried Kibo Sushi as an alternative to Sushi Marche which has closed recently. Kibo was a beyond pleasant surprise. Excellent food. Impeccable service. Extremely friendly staff. Very clean. Nice ambiance — there were fresh flowers throughout the restaurant. You can tell they use high quality ingredients. The owner even made my boyfriend and I a drink on the house because she was experimenting with a new Summer drink menu. The ownership team clearly takes great pride in their business and treats customers like gold. Easy to see why they have grown to 4 locations throughout Toronto in the past 3 years. We will definitely be going back and we will choose Kibo before going to SM in the future.

Kibo is just down the street and I’ve been meaning to check it out for a while. My husband is a huge sushi fan and I don’t mind it from time to time. We finally decided to drop in for dinner.
The place has neat décor with private booths but nothing special. We were the only patrons in the restaurant which is always a bit questionable but we thought we might as well try it out. We ordered a couple of rolls, edamame, and karaage chicken. I can’t say any of it was very good. The edamame was cold, the karaage chicken was particularly greasy, and the rolls were disappointing. I couldn’t put my finger on what exactly made the rolls disappointing but then my husband mentioned that it was the rice… it just wasn’t very fresh.
Although the place is very close and the staff seem very friendly and eager, we found the food to be a total miss and won’t be returning.

3.5 stars
Kibo is relatively new to my hood — moved in last year. Good reliable sushi and bento boxes. Good value on the price, too (which is important to me). I usually get the Bento D, which gives you the option of chicken, or beef or salmon. Plentiful portions and they have the big 500ml Japanese beers too. Nice quiet jazz music in the background. I like the private booths as well.
One improvement they can make is in the dessert menu … when I visited last week all they had to offer was green tea ice cream… blachhhh… How bout offering free orange slices (as they do at Ichiban Sushi in the Beach), or perhaps widening the ice cream to include mango or other flavours?

This restaurant gives you quality service and sushi, for he price of well. Typical sushi places. But this isn’t your typical sushi place.
As soon as you enter, you’re greet by either a waiter or the sushi chef. The booths they sit you in are nice as well and cozy, especially for a date.
I’ve gone more than three times because I’m around the area often, and every time it’s been superb.
I would recommend trying the Aburi. You can’t go wrong with blow torched sushi for their prices.
I also got the tataki salad which actually had a very interesting but lovely taste. My favourite though is the tuna takaki salad as good tuna (that’s not from ayce) is my all time favourite raw fish to eat.
My boyfriend got the spicy salmon roll and that definitely hit the spot. They’re proportion are bigger than average (sushi is my passion) and the taste stands out (not in an expired way). You can tell they put care into preparing their dishes.
This is a place I will surely come again if I’m craving good sushi at a decent price.

The food is good quality. Nice and fresh and reasonably priced. They have combos that have what I like. They don’t fill the bento boxes with surf clam, octopus or other stuff that I don’t like. They stick to the popular stuff here.
The waiters disappear for long periods of time. In our last visit there were two waiters for three tables and they still seemed flustered. I think the waiters must be helping to prepare the food or something.
The location used to be a sketchy bar so I wasn’t sure about it at first when a sushi place opened, but this place is good.
If you order to go, they give you little foil things for your soy sauce. This is great.

*3.5* stars
I’ve been here a couple of times. They have a special for a dynamite roll and 3 pcs of salmon sushi for $ 9.95. Not a bad deal.
I had a spicy sashimi don. This is one of my fave dishes at any sushi place.
My hubby ordered a bento box, which looked quite good.
The service here was a bit slow, despite there only being 3 tables seated. We got the impression that this place gets a lot of take out business (that makes sense we’ve probably had take out here twice and sat in once). The servers seemed to spend a lot of time waiting for food orders, but watching chefs make sushi isn’t going to make it go faster. Their time would have been better spent checking on the few tables there were to make sure they were happy, and had water etc (thus the 3.5 star rating).
This location is also semi stroller friendly. There’s a ramp, but the restaurant is quite narrow so it can be challenging. The staff are friendly and accommodating though, they created a make-​shift stroller parking area if your child can sit at the table and eat. In our case, the shifted a table over a bit to make room for our stroller so our infant could be at the table with us.

Ugh, I’m eating it now and just had to.
Kibo is wonderful. I have lived in the east for over five years and have been missing quality sushi since sushi marche went downhill (plus it is outrageously expensive). Yes, we tried all of those spots on Danforth, and they all kind of suck. We even went to that place on Gerrard a couple of times, which is nice but not amazing.
Kibo is great. They have good specials ($ 10 dinners) and the quality is really good for sushi in this price-​range. Good, fresh, room temperature rice, fresh fish, Nice rice to seafood ratio and not greasy tempura. The seaweed salad I am currently gorging on is a hefty portion. Friendly staff and comfortable eating area. Plus they give you tea if for some reason you have to wait.

Please note the rating is actually a 3.5 because I’m in between A-​OK and Yay! I’m a fan based off Unilocal’s rating scale but there are certain factors that have me leaning closer to a 4 star rating.
After checking out Unilocal’s new business openings and seeing a new sushi restaurant opened in the Leslieville area with great reviews, I had to check the place out to see if it warranted the great reviews.
Upon entering we were quickly seated in a booth, the place is quaint, cozy and the décor is new with a lot of dark colours.
We ordered a spicy sashimi salad ($ 7.95), tuna tataki ($ 9.95), sakura dragon rolls ($ 11.95) and one of their daily specials which consisted of 6 spicy tuna rolls and 6 spicy salmon rolls ($ 10.95).
Spicy sashimi salad ($ 7.95): The salad was fresh and the sashimi was fresh and nicely cut and the quality wasn’t bad for the price your paying.
Tuna tataki ($ 9.95): The tuna tataki was fresh, nicely seasoned and had a great flavour but for some odd reason was cut into small square pieces.
Sakura dragon rolls ($ 11.95): One of their signature rolls, it consisted of tempura, crab and avocado inside with salmon on the outside that was torched. The rolls were fresh and very good.
Spicy salmon and spicy tuna rolls ($ 10.95): The combination was one of their daily specials, the maki rolls were okay. Not bad but nothing exceptional at the same time.
The servers are very friendly and pretty efficient and overall I would say that you get pretty good value for the price your paying at Kibo Sushi House. It’s definitely a great addition to the Leslieville area.

This new sushi joint is a great addition to Leslieville and you can still smell the «new paint smell» when you walk in. A small space, with 3 booths in the back, a few tables separated by wooden partitions for a bit of privacy, and a larger table for group dining in the middle of the restaurant.
The staff was courteous and offered us hot tea as we waited for our take out order. We ordered sashimi, sushi, and rolls to share. As a bonus, they gave us two portions of salad and miso soup, all fresh and very tasty.
What was really cute was how the napkin was wrapped with the chopsticks, a little packet of soy sauce and even comes with a little plastic tray to hold the sauce!!!
The rice was fresh and not overly wet and soggy, and the seaweed had a good crunch… it’s always hard when you try to take a bite and everything in the roll just completely falls apart. We had a roll with spicy sauce on it, however, there was no heat whatsoever. The reason I’ve dropped one star is because I found the sashimi to be extremely inconsistent in terms of size. None of the fish was overly big, a little on the small side I must add. However, we had gotten the end cuts of the pieces of red tuna and they were TINY… almost to the point of scraps so I was really surprised they served it.
All in all, I was pleased with the overall meal and would go back… and hope to get a more consistent sized meal.
P. S. Don’t expect overly hot wasabi here. you’re not going to get it.

Amazing food. Fresh and tasty. Great service. Great value. Great renovation too. After moving to leslieville over a year ago the only thing I missed of my old hood (the annex) was the variety of awesome and cheap sushi restaurants. Finally! One that not only compares but maybe even surpasses them.
Loved the crazy $ 10 lunch I just had. Crazy bento with sushi and spicy beef gyoza sesame noodles soup salad and tea. Boy am I happy. Enjoy neighbors!
Every day a place like this opens my neighborhood gets better and better!
