Kisha Poppo Japanese Restaurant in Richmond

The secondary school ended the school year in the middle of June except for those who need to sit for provincial exam. Instead of going out for cake meet with Polly, we brought along our eldest sons (Arkensen and Webbie) who are in their early secondary grades for an all you can eat sushi lunch at Kisha Poppo Japanese Restaurant. They cant get enough of sushi.

Kisha Poppo has two locations in the Lower Mainland, one in Vancouver and the other in Richmond. We went to the one in Ironwood Plaza, 1060-11660 Steveston Hwy, Richmond. Although I had checked out the reviews for this restaurant which turned out to be not very good, we just wanted to give it a try. Anyway, most of the all you can eat sushi place have bad reviews.

We were there at 11:30 am where it just opened for lunch. The place actually fills up quite quickly as there were quite a lot of office workers who dine here, perhaps due to the proximity to their offices.

We opted for the All You Can Eat Lunch as the boys can eat a lot. The AYCE lunch is $10.95 for adult on weekday where the menu has 33 items to choose from.

We find that the service is very poor. First of all the service is slow. We have to wait for our food and there were times that our table is empty. We also dont like the way the order is taken. They did not supply an ordering sheet for us to write down our order. Instead, the waitress will take the order verbally and she rushed us through the order process and she seemed impatient when we stop to look at the menu. Overall the food is decent for an AYCE.

The only item the boys like is the salmon sushi. They had 23 pieces of salmon sushi all together.

They serve the green in cups and did not leave of pot for us to refill. They did come by refill occasionally but we did have to ask them for refill when our cups are empty.

The California roll and BC roll is quite small in size.

Here is the Miso soup and cold spinach in sesame paste.

The chicken teriyaki is quite tender but the beef teriyaki is a bit tough.

The Seafood Motoyaki are quite charred. Webbie does not like the taste.

The deep fried chicken wings are really small. They looked dry but they are quite moist inside.

This is the Agetashi Tofu.

The Salmon and Tuna Maki rolls also came in very small size.

The Gyoza is quite ok.

This is the deep fried salmon. At first, I thought they were the tofu.

They only serve Tuna Sashimi and limited to 3 pieces per person. They came in very small pieces and mushy in texture.

The Vegetable Tempura also came in thin slices.

Polly and I shared a Green Salad and a vermicelli salad to clear our palate.

The spicy tuna cone is quite ok.

The last saving grace is their dessert which is a scope of vanilla ice-cream. The boys had 2 to 3 servings of ice-cream.
