Review from Patrick M.

Though the name says "sushi", heed my advice: stick to the Korean dishes!
That's not to say the sushi isn't good -- it is. Usually. But it can be quite a crapshoot, to the point I stopped bothering with the sushi long ago. One day it's amazing, the next the rice is undercooked and warm (and has partially cooked the fish!).
The Korean menu, on the other hand, is near perfect, with bulgogi that Korean ex-pat friends have compared to some of the most comforting they've had from back home. My favourite is the soon tofu, a classic stew that is divine... I used to get this at least once a week when I lived and worked down the street. When I return to visit, I always try to get a bowl.
And, like most Korean restaurants, if you order off the Korean menu you're destined for complimentary banchan. Wonderfully, assuming you're friendly and pleasant with your server, the banchan seems endless. As soon as it's close to gone, another round arrives and you're left wondering if you'll have room for your dinner. Braised tofu, sauteed rapini, kimchi, korean pancake, pickled cucumber, korean potatoes, chapchae... the list goes on! And it's all fantastic!
Y'know, it occurs to me in writing this review that Ta Ke really is a tale of two restaurants. 5 stars for the Korean, 3 for the Japanese, which should come as little surprise considering the owners and most kitchen staff are Korean.
I've yet to experience Korean as good as this in Toronto, though I confess I haven't exactly sought it out after a couple bad experiences in little Korea shortly after moving to TO. I suppose I should give it another go.
In the meantime, I'll continue to dream about Ta Ke's soon tofu and their nigh endless supply of banchan! -

Well rolled sushi. Very friendly staff.
The sushi rice was a little underdone. The rolls were expertly rolled and tasted great.
Being from the west coast, I need my sushi fix every few days and this place filled the void well. -

I don't think this is the best sushi place in Kingston, but it's definitely one of the most popular and reasonable (for a sushi place in Kingston).
The atmosphere is always very nice and the service is usually good. The sushi is usually pretty tasty and the experience will definitely quench any sushi thirsts you've had. Otherwise, don't expect your socks to be knocked off.
Tip: That thing at the end of your table is a button to call for service. It's used in every restaurant in Korea (all the sushi places in Kingston seem to be owned by Koreans). Don't be afraid to use it! It's not rude and it will save some time over trying to catch their eye. -

Lots of people see this as the best sushi in Kingston. Having eaten sushi in Vancouver, Toronto, New York and LA...it is good if you need a sushi fix but your options are limited. An extensive menu with good selection and friendly staff. Some of the rolls are a good value.
