My hubby and I went to this Japanese restaurant. The restaurant can serve about 25-30 people if full, there is only one person to serve as not many people during weekdays. We have ordered the dobin mushi, the soup is flavourful mainly with shrimp taste. The food stuffed on the top of the pot can eat, don’t throw it away. Beef tataki is thickly sliced, which I preferred to be thin sliced, the taste is average. The takoyaki is super tasty, thin crust and hot while serve. The last we ordered is the deluxe sushi set, all the sushi is fresh. The wasabi is not quite the block one, it’s quite liquid with chopped veggie, but it taste good. I think the small sushi roll is for stuffing your stomach if you are still hungry.

This is a charming little sushi place with outstanding food. There is only one sushi chef and one server, so the service can be slow.

Ordered takeout, read so many positive reviews and thought I would give something new a try. Unfortunately I can say I was a bit disappointed. Tempura vegetables did not seem overly fresh and the sushi was just ok. The best thing I ordered from $70 worth of food were the gyozas.

Veggie gyoza was awful. Not what you expect from a restaurant serving authentic food.Full of sweet corn and peas, these offer a flavour profile of a mouth full of heated puke. All for 7.50….Kaiko Look at a recipe book ffs.

Best sushi in the world!!! Excellent quality, great people, awesome service and fresh food. My favorite sushi is California roll, which is unique.

This restaurant exudes a serene ambiance within its cozy confines. The sushi is fresh, almost comparable to the authenticity of sushi I've tasted in Japan. The staff were welcoming and accommodating. Nonetheless, the overall quality of the food and service can be somewhat erratic due to limited staffing - a single sushi chef behind the counter, one chef working in the kitchen, and a lone server. As such, during peak hours, the dining experience may not reach its full potential.

It was our first time trying Kaiko Sushi and it was delicious! My husband said it was the best agedashi tofu he has tried. The rolls were very fresh and tasty. We loved the green roll and kaiko special roll. Presentation was lovely as well.

Small place. Amazing food!! They care about their food and it shows. Good quality sushi and sashimi, nicely battered tempura, fantastic chicken teriyaki and the best Agedashi tofu in town. Price to value ratio is great! My new go to Japanese in Coquitlam and that’s saying a lot because I’ve tried most of them. Try them out!

Probably the most faithful and enjoyable Japanese cuisine in the area.I have been a regular customer since the start of the pandemic as we’re trying many places for takeout.Kaiko has consistent quality and presentation for their dine in and take out orders. Love the creative special dinner combo items.
How have I never left a review for Kaiko?? This sushi restaurant is absolutely my favourite in the entire lower mainland! I have gone to many sushi restaurants and I keep coming back here. Even now when I live in downtown Vancouver I will make the drive back to enjoy the food.The chef does an excellent job to prepare elevated, fresh, innovative and delicious sushi. Each piece is handcrafted perfectly!I highly recommend trying their kaiko special roll, the Aburi set, and their appetizer sampler. They are delicious. The small size of the restaurant enables the chef to dote on you and makes the entire visit personalized.Please come and support Kaiko!

Delicious and wonderfully presented Japanese food, especially if you try things a bit off the beaten path. Fantastic broth in the clam udon. Accommodating staff, if not the warmest - having been to Japan, this is pretty standard. Also offers omakase with a day or two's notice.

Arigatou ありがとう !The freshness, quality, consistency and flavor of everything we had was rad and yummy. The perfect balance of chewy, crunchy and aromatic tasting. Rolls are pretty fat and could do with some fatter filling, but nonetheless stuffed with wholesome fresh ingredients.I do feel this is a strong three stars at best as the Unagi Roll ウナギ was not cooked and didn't taste massively fresh, there are no brown rice options and I felt the food does not meet the same standard as the decorA quaint, cozy and comfortable laid back vibe in a well decorated and authentic eatery. The lady server was super nice and approachable, but the gentleman server wasn't too welcoming which isnt the worst but a weird vibe.Support local businesses!

Delicious and fresh sushi with a bonus point for presentation! Very friendly staff and you can tell that the chef takes pride in his work.

Fantastic food and the price point is very economical especially with the quality. Fresh seafood and the presentation is beautiful.
