Before 2018, Lovepreet Singh had never tasted sushi in his lifetime. Having worked in India in the food industry, Lovepreet Singh joined the Kinhao Sushi staff in the South End in 2018 while attending Cambrian as a metal technician international student.
Along the way, he became a fan of the product, especially the deep-fried California sushi rolls, which are hands down his favourite.
After six years rolling maki, he became the business partner for Kinhao’s new location in New Sudbury when it opened at the end of 2024 in the former Sunwah Restaurant location on Lasalle Boulevard.
While the sign went up in the fall of 2024, the restaurant did not open until Christmas after almost five months of renovations.
“It includes all the things I like about the South End location, including the decor with bottles and the flowers,” Singh said.
KinHao New Sudbury has more than 30 tables, including long tables in the back for bigger groups and parties.
Like the South End location, which has been open for almost a decade, diners can expect the menu to include all the signature items they’ve come to love, including the fan favourite prosciutto roll and a queen roll with mango, crabmeat, salmon and eel, as well as an LA sauce and black fish eggs to top it all off.
If you're unfamiliar with LA sauce, it is made of ketchup, spicy mayonnaise, flavoured wasabi and white sugar.
Kinhao also caters to those who love fried rice and pad thai.
“We have many different options of fried rice on the menu including Japanese fried rice, basil, South Thai, crab and pineapple Fried Rice,” Singh said.
Each version offers the option to add chicken, shrimp, beef or vegetables to the mix. Kinhao’s menu also offers Chinese, Korean and Thai foods.
The Thai menu is extensive with curry, pad thai and even spicy eggplant that is sauteed in garlic and with thai chili green onion, bamboo shoots, tofu and sweet bell pepper.
Singh said he’s become an expert at rolling very tight rolls. Over the years, he’s also been perfecting his presentation skills with lights on the party trays and flowers.
“I have always loved reading the reviews. The praise of freshness, service and quality inspires me to do better everyday,” he said.
And speaking of parties, Kinhao offers elaborate party trays varying from 50-80 pieces of sashimi, sushi and rolls.
Kinhao is open weekdays 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
It offers take out, all you can eat, dine in, Uber and Skip the Dishes delivery.
