About Kiku

Thy "Liem" Tran and Thinh Pham, better known as the one and only "Sushiman," have owned the restaurant since 2003. With their partner from Mikado Laurier going into semi-retirement, the timing was right to carve a new identity. All of the Mikado Monkland staples customers have grown to love and became loyal allies in our adventure. Through the years, Sushiman and his team have introduced some new sushi creations to go along with such favorites as the sushi pizza, salmon tartar, ebi gyoza, chicken/salmon/steak/shrimp teriyaki and rolls like the Happy, Relax, NDG, R-8, Paradise and Hampstead.

In this sense, Kiku modestly tries to master this art in skillfully preparing sushi and sashimi, teriyaki, tempura, soba and a vast assortment of other succulent dishes you can only find here. Three basic elements embody Kiku's philosophy: creativity, simplicity and balance. Creativity to dazzle with original dishes; simplicity to allow for the experience of full unadulterated and natural flavours; and balance to beautifully bring together tastes, textures, ingredients and colours.
