Ki Sushi - New Westminster, British Columbia

The restaurant had good value bento lunch specials. But I decided to order from the regular menu since I was craving ramen. I ordered a spicy ramen. The order took more than 30 mins to arrive. I wasn’t too happy since I had to go back to work and was ... tight for time. I had to check a couple of times and each time the server said the order was coming. When I finished my meal, it was the manager that came and apologized. They gave me a 20% discount for the delay. Informed me that the server should’ve mentioned that the ramen will take longer compared to the other items served for lunch. The ramen was good and I would come back here to try the lunch specials. The manager made up for the initial lousy server communication but I will come back here again. Read more

Everything was so flavourful and fresh, and the food arrived quick. Free refills of green tea is also a plus. The staff is very kind and attentive. And really great prices too! Recommend for some tasty sushi if you're around New Westminster.

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 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. Read more

We called before and made a reservation for a group of seven before we came, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The waiter was not overbearing and only came over when needed. The Ingredients were very fresh, and the everything was delicious, we all had different dishes and everyone ... loved their food. I would definitely recommend the veggie spring rolls and their pink rolls. We also had the peach growers, the drinks menu isn't very big, there's only 5-6 drink options. Read more
