In comparison to similar restaurants like Ebisu, they definitely served better food. They were currently on Groupon at the moment, so I did not get to try their happy hour items and a few of their main dishes. But overall I enjoyed their food. The miso marinated sablefish was grilled to almost perfection. Other than a few bones remained in the fish steak due to the type of cut, and a slice of super fibery asparagus, the rest of the grilled vegetables were delicious. A very fresh and well executed dish, and certainly beat the sable fish dish at Hapa Izakaya in the same area. Although it was $3.50 more, it was a larger size plate and had a better value.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140709-072512-26712553.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140709-072512-26712553.jpg\" alt=\"Akimo (Monkfish Liver Pate) Toast @ KiBo Restaurant and Lounge\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Akimo (Monkfish Liver Pate) Toast @ KiBo Restaurant and Lounge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I had never had Akimo (monkfish liver p\u00e2t\u00e9) served grilled. The dish Akimo Toasts came with 3 pieces of p\u00e2t\u00e9 with some kind of BBQ sauce on top and served on crispy  toasts. I got the idea of having it served as foie <a style=\"text-decoration:none; font-weight:normal; color:#000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.myanxietymeds.com\/product\/klonopin\/ \"> buy klonopin online overnight <\/a> gras, but somehow the p\u00e2t\u00e9 did not taste as fresh as expected and slightly fishy.

The presentation did not wow me as any free style sushi roll should. I however liked the fact that it was small and each slice was a perfect bite size.  But for $13, I was not sure it was a good value. I had had much better &#8220;Dragon&#8221; rolls. <\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140709-072513-26713424.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/20140709-072513-26713424.jpg\" alt=\"KiBo Restaurant and Lounge, Yaletown\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">KiBo Restaurant and Lounge, Yaletown<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The bill came with $47 including 3 dishes and one beer, not too bad for a dinner for two.
