10 Reviews on “Sake Bar Kushi”
Such a great experience. Showed up pretty close to closing with only one other table occupied, yet they still welcomed us with high energy. Outstanding service, extremely friendly, outgoing servers, the food was absolutely incredible and beautifully prepared. Great layout and atmosphere. You have to go here.
Service was still good and polite. But this time the food has got worse. The karaage was dry and not succulent and the kushi with hot sauce is not japanese so anyway they gave us free fish however from the kitchen which was nice
Authentic Japanese Bar. You’d think you were in Tokyo! Wonderful food, good service, very friendly staff. Private booths. Tolerant of children. A great addition to the Avenue Rd. Eglinton area.
A great surprise. Me and my wife decided to try Kushi recently, thinking that it was another sushi restaurant like what was at that location before. We were very please to find out that while you can get sushi, Kushi offers so much more. The restaurant provides a cool atmosphere with style and great music (lounge, hip-hop, ska), all of which separates it from most of the middle of the road, family friendly establishments in the neighbourhood. We tried a variety of tapas and kushi (grilled meats, veg, or rice cakes on sticks). Everything was excellent, and the service was attentive. Highly recommended to anyone looking to enjoy a great meal with more style and excitement that what the neighbourhood typically has to offer.
Refuse to ever return! Ridiculously bad service!!!. If I could give this place 0 stars, I would! On April 5th, my wife and I along with our 7month old baby is looking for some dinner. It was around 7:55pm that we left the house. We were contemplating where we want to eat, and decided to call Kushi for reservations since I remember purchasing that Groupon. I called them and they said they are full at the moment, however if we go after 9pm, we’ll be fine. I told them that it may be a bit too late for us so we did not make the reservation (we travelled from Richmond Hill to Downtown). But we were assured that there’s going to be openings after 9. We tried going to another restaurant we had in mind but was full. So by that time we decided to head for Kushi since by the time we get there, it’ll almost be 9pm When we got to the restaurant around 8:55pm, I parked the car right outside of Kushi (a non-parking spot) and I asked the waitresses whether I would be able to use the Groupon since I did not make a reservation, but had received reassurance over the phone earlier. Clearly, in the restaurant there were open tables. The waitresses said yes after some clearance with the manager and I brought my wife and our son along with his car seat to be seated. At that point I went outside so that I can go find some parking. The area was extremely tough to find paid parking and I spent more than 15min doing so. When I returned to the restaurant, my wife told me that the manager had come by to say that we cannot use the Groupon tonight. We called for the waitresses to clarify and they provided the same message. Their message was that we cannot use it because it’s a clause within the Groupon. We expressed to them however, that we checked with them 2+ times about using the Groupon and they could of told me before I dropped off my family or paid for parking. We then summoned the manager who was rude and told us that we cannot use our Groupon due to the reservation issue. I then ask the manager what will happen if I walked outside, called them and made a reservation right away, whether we can use it since clearly there were tables open. At that point they stated that they had a large party in the party room, and in order to maintain their quality they had to refuse Groupon users. I told him that how come then they are refusing all customers? Will they stick a sign outside their restaurant to say that they are closed for a private party? The manager vehemently stated the reservation issue again. At that point he said to me that either I can dine in without using the Groupon or we’ll have to wait 1+ hours for the food. By that point I was extremely frustrated since none of the excuses made sense and all I could say is that the restaurant sees Groupon users as inferior to regular paying patrons. My wife was extremely upset at that point, so I went back to grab my car and we left as a family, hungry at 9:25pm. Don’t ever go to this place, I’ve never had this type of service at a Japanese operated establishment before. My wife and I refuses to ever step into this restaurant ever again and so should you!
Everything is good. We use our Groupon and enjoyed our dinner very much. The Japanese style service is high standard which you don’t see much in North America. The selection and quality of food is great. It is not a cheap restaurant but worth every bite of it.
Bad Service!!!!. Although it is indicated that reservation is required, we decided to check if there was any available table. Surprisingly, there were a few tables available. The waitress at the door was really nice. She asked if we have a reservation and I told her that we don’t have. I asked her if we I can order a coupon and redeem it now, she said of course. As I finished to order the coupon, she approached me and told me that we can’t use the coupon because we didn’t have a reservation. We asked to talk with the supervisor about this issue (I asked before I ordered the coupon!!!!). The supervisor came with a FAKE big smile saying that she is so so sorry. We told her that we asked the waitress before we ordered the coupon but she didn’t care! What a bad costumer service. She said that there is nothing that she can do for us. We were shocked and we decided to leave. I have never experienced such a rude service. She didn’t even try to stop us, she just said (again, with a FAKE big smile) ‘have a good night’!!I would never come back to this place. First learn we to treat your costumer, even if you food is so good, service comes first. You will loose a lot of costumers with this attitude.
