Kibo Japanese Grill & Cafe in Hope

100 points for this small family run Japanese restaurant in Hope. It's literally this family's house renovated into a restaurant. The living room is where we sit 😂 The food here is really legit Japanese food made by real live Korean people. Don't be fooled, Koreans run a lot of Japanese restaurant in Greater Vancouver. Anyway, every item tastes and looks incredible. 10/10 would try again 😏 I thank this family for existing.

Delicious food and friendly service. The best food stop in Hope without a doubt.

Authentic, clean and feels like a Japanese home. I am guessing its run by a family. Place is very clean and everything we ordered is very very good. Hard to find a quality restaurant on the highway. We randomly picked it on our drive to Vancouver. Will mark this place for future :)

Excellent service, excellent food and comparable prices! Very friendly staff, I will definitely be ordering there again. I highly recommend! Thanks Kibo!

Gems in a small town, family owned.

Very quaint place, really good food, prices are good for what you get. The staff are the owners and are very nice .

I have been to many Sushi restaurants and this small place in the middle of Hope is one of the best places I have ever been to. The sushi is very authentic and very fresh. Service is extremely fast and price is very reasonable!

This is our favourite sushi restaurant in Hope! We like it so much, we brought my Mom her for her birthday.

So good!! Go there at least twice a week.

They only do takeout which is fine but you can eat outside their patio if it's not occupied. The patio is nice and you get a good breeze while waiting or enjoying your meal.The staff was very friendly and provided good customer service.The food taste great but the serving size was very tiny. For example, the chicken slices were maybe less than half an inch (see picture).In summary, we had high hopes with this place because of the high Google reviews but my family was quite disappointed by the small food servings.

Great pit stop. Nice service. The only thing is that there are not many veggie options.

Always order by calling and picking up and the ladies are always very friendly. The cooks are accommodating. My kids order with no sesame seed and this isn’t met with any issues! The owner made me a custom special roll when I requested something that they didn’t make! I was blown away. Excellent 5/5, we’re customers for life now! So happy to have excellent sushi in our small town!

So yummy so friendly. We were so happy to find sushi and good sushi. Great prices too. Bonus points for having a ramp and accessible washroom. Cute little place. I highly recommend going.

Had high hopes for the restaurant due to the high google reviews but the food was disappointing and misleading. Paid for the othello roll with deep fried crab and cream cheese, which was all imitation crab with mostly cream cheese. The highly recommended house roll had shrimp, egg and avocado with no additional seafood component. The chopped scallop roll had tiny pieces of scallop and mostly mayonnaise. The rolls were not cheap but the substance was not there. Instead of the refreshing Japanese food we were hoping for, everything tasted greasy.

Lovely little spot. Has a delightful cafe vibe with handmade quilt / embroidery art on the walls and indoor plants. Food was good. Spicy pork with rice was surprisingly spicy and delicious!

Delicious food and delightful services. Variaty and quality of all foods were exceptionally good, especially for the price. We picked up take-outs and went to Memorial Park for a picnic.
