Bikkuri Japanese Restaurant




2197 Queen Street East Toronto ON 416. 693. 5775

*Note: This location is not to be confused with their King Street location. There is no website currently for this location, which is at the Beach in Toronto. Although they are sister restaurants, it appears they differ greatly.

A M A L says DO NOT DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - we almost didn't go in, but then the "all you can eat" sign caught our attention. It is a small space, with tables and chairs througout. Since there are no banquettes or no real dividers, you get no sense of privacy or intimacy. It's almost like being at McDonalds. Everything is out in the open, so if you are the only two in the restaurant (as were Chris and I), we felt that our conversation was 100% audible to the chef and waitress just 4 feet away from us. Overall yellow/orange look ,but doesn't feel warm at all. I kind of liken it to a more neon sunset grill.

2) Service - nice, but although the restaurant was puney, the waitress was hard to get a hold of. At one point the sushi chef took our second order, but he was very nice.

3) Portions - good, all you can eat

4) Taste - very salty. Green salad was very, very good. But the sushi rolls (we had crispy tuna, kamakaze, gyzoa dumplings, california rolls, dynamite rolls, beef terryaki) were all sooooooooo suuuppper salty. The Soy sauce was literally un-edible. It was waaaaaaaaaaayyy too saltyAfter our first round, Chris and I both had numb tongues. They were literally numb and tingling. We thought it may have been something from the food, but soon discovered it was from the soy sauce, so we couldn't use it. Not cool. The rolls also left us feeling very dehydrated....salt-city.
The beef terryaki was good, but it was the type that was mostly raw...not my personal fave, and not too flavorful either.

Chris and I didn't feel to good afterwards. :(

5) Price - over priced for the weird soy sauce and terrible feeling it left in your tummy after.


C H R I S says DO NOT DEVOUR THIS FOOD

1) Appearance - not the coolest looking place. Kinda ghetto-ish and uninspiring.

2) Service - OK

3) Portions - It was all you can eat....hmmm...they have tough competition (Prince Sushi)

4) Taste - Started out ok...we were very hungry and in the middle of a big adventure...taste sorta went downhill

5) Price - Ok, I guess. $18/person

*SPECIAL TIP*
We walked around the beaches area and were hungry and kinda settled for this place. We saw a lot of japanese restaurants on the way home...hmmm...i would advise you try some place else. For $50 i'm gonna say save your money or go somewhere else.
