Kim's Ichiban - Richmond Hill

I 'm in this area a lot and when i found this ichiban, I was really excited because it could be one of my 'go to ' sushi places in the area. I ordered a small sashimi tray to go. When i opened up the box, the fish looked like it was cut with a dull knife fine, no biggie. In my first bite, I got fish scales in my mouth, again, no big deal, then another piece of salmon this one was accompanied with tendon or something elastic like holding it together. Then I turned to the tuna, thinking it was just the salmon that was bad quality. The tuna had a very strange smell but I tried to eat it anyway (thinking it was the packaging of the radish it came on top of), but two chews in, it was just not tasting right. The whole piece tasted sour and hairy. I threw up immediately. And that was my first and last time eating from Kim 's. The prices aren 't particularly low, and the quality is terrible.

I think this place just recently received a face lift due to the fact that the pictures don't necessarily match what I've seen from this place GOD I'm hoping I'm actually reviewing the right place, so here goes.. My friend and I came here when it was dead and we were the only ones here a little after lunch. A young server came out to greet us and took our orders. The entire time the server and chef left us alone and didn't really interrupt us other than to take our food and refill our teas, at which point he just let us have the entire pot to ourselves. The quality of the fish and sashimi were not the freshest I've ever tasted, and nothing special really popped out from what we ordered. It was pretty mediocre.

Cheap option for sushi and sashimi, but the fish is not the freshest. The uni there gave me a stomachache

Been going to Kim's Ichiban (recently renamed to ii Sushi) for over a decade. They changed ownership twice in that time, but managed to remain a reliable source of delicious sushi.

Quality so-so but a little pricey for what you get, no worries inflation rate is high right now in Canada so it's understandable. Staff are super friendly and the service is quick.
