Kookoo for Kiko!

I'll start it off this way:

The food was good.  No, it was great.  The food was great which is exactly the reason why I'll come back here. If you like Japanese food or even just something different with quality and care,  this is a place you need to explore.   My pictures do no justice (I forgot to put my flash on my phone camera)

I'm talking about Kiko restaurant, you'll find it on Preston street in the same plaza as the heart and crown.  Little Italy has sort of branched out into housing restaurants with less-than-Italian fare in recent years and you know what? It's excellent location and as long as the restaurants are high calibre, I say bring it on!

When we walked in it was a bit dark, but nicely decorated and modern looking, a far cry from alot of Asian restaurants (Siam kitchen your Thai is wonderful but 1970 is gone...)

Hawaiian roll, must be as good
as other 'hawaiian' foods :)

The service was slow, painfully slow.  We were starving.  But the service was also very friendly.

You see we had a livingsocial coupon which was expiring in a few days and so did about 90% of the other patrons who were in the restaurant.  The chefs and wait staff were working tirelessly to keep up with the demand.  We kept that in mind and I thought you know, cut them some slack.  It's Wednesday with a Friday night crowd. 

Adam's not a sushi man, and actually he's never had sushi so far as I know.  Since I'm a sushi fan but not a connoisseur by any means, I decided it would be best to try a simple roll (instead of ordering a boat of sushi or something) and we could get other entrees, this worked out really well!
