Tokyo Maki Sushi

Went for dinner with the wife last night and was generally disappointed.
No bulgogi on the menu anymore.
Korean short ribs soggy and very little sear on them.
But the big killer and main reason for this low score is that they leave the disgusting vein inside their shrimp. Try biting into one of their tempura shrimps and looking inside of it. That black stuff is the poo.
Disgusting, and if they weren’t so lazy it takes literally 2 seconds to remove.
Until they learn to devein a shrimp i will never go back

Good experience. Was busy but not a quick wait. Good was good and came out quick for the most part. We ordered cucumber rolls two times but did not get them. Food quality was good but too much avocado in the BBQ Eel rolls. iPad ordering system was cool but it kept erroring out and not sending in our order. Overall good experience. I would definitely go back.

Went for lunch, poor selection. Poor quality. Overall did not enjoy this place. It’s nice inside though. Server was friendly but unorganized, received miso and salads last on order (had to ask to remind her).

We tried Tokyo Maki Sushi a few times and found nothing wrong with it, but our preference is 168 Sushi, a local favorite. The location of Tokyo Maki is arguably better so if it’s more convenient for you I have no doubt you’ll enjoy your meal.

I love that this sushi buffet restaurant uses a tablet ordering system. There’s no need to get up to grab your own food. Just order on the Ipad provided and the food will be brought to your table. They serve pretty fast, too! I love the clean and classy ambiance, as well. Above all, the food is prepared well and is delicious.

Pros: soft drinks and tea was included.
Cons: service was slow. Food was average. No menu item was memorable.
They would benefit more from hiring more people. In fact I wrote this review while waiting for the bill.

Costs $ 14.99 + tax (Mon-​Thurs lunch) and that include drinks already. iPAD ordering system. Fast service! And many items on menu.
I suggest trying…
1) snow crab roll
2) corn salad
3) cheese wonton (bomb!)
4) Brampton roll
Keep your jackets on because it can be cold inside.

Being confronted by a computer and having to use a computer to order my food was not my idea of a relaxing experience. If I wanted to work on a computer I would have studied computer programming and stayed at the office. I was hoping for a relaxing time with good food. The food was good but I was not relaxed. Not going there until they bring back paper and get rid of those horrible computers.

Typical all you can eat style Japanese restaurant. Been here a few times but it’s anything special. The sushi isn’t very authentic and well made, very small and easily falls apart. The only good part is that it’s filling, make sure to eat the Kalbi meat if you’re here and also the mango yoghurt.

They have a new menu now so of course that means price went up a bit they added brown rice rolls now for and extra dollar. it will still be my number one sushi place in Brampton even if their price went up

I’m so glad we discovered this little slice of Japan!
On various occasions, our family had driven to Spoonful for a fantastic feast. And while I enjoyed all of their western food, I felt that their Sushi/​Sashimi was lacking (as you’d expect from a hot-​plate style buffet; yes Wasabi, I’m looking at you!). Of the several times we visited, I always noticed the little restaurant on the corner seen as Tokyo Maki Sushi. After seeing quite a few good reviews on Unilocal,and even more delicious pictures, I decided to give it a try.
First thing I noticed about the restaurant as we drove in… was that there was a drive through lane. Curious enough as it was, my partner informed me that this was a previously owned Fast Food Chain (Wendys?). Amusing as it was, I was a little curious to see how the restaurant layout would be, given this knowledge.
We arrived there around dinner time, to find (not surprisingly) that the restaurant was full. We were seated after a few minutes of waiting, given our ipads and left to order. Excitedly, we ordered our usuals (stock spicy rolls, hand rolls, roses, sashimi and kitchen items) along with a few custom rolls unique to the restaurant.
With a speed only comparable to 168 Sushi, our food arrived. Arriving in droves, we soon realized our small table wouldn’t be enough. That was okay; it was just a challenge for us to eat quicker.
So for the food.
This is it. This is THE restaurant. The restaurant I’ve been looking for. For the first time in my search amongst Sushi AYCEs in Mississauga/​Brampton, this is the FIRST restaurant I’ve found that they use superb quality salmon. I was ecstatic. The quality comparable only to a-​la carte restaurants. With it’s higher than usual amount of fat, the flavour was phenominal. They also used this quality of salmon for their salmon roses (which might I add, had 2 pieces of salmon instead of the restaurants that skimp and only use 1), which made me even happier. And to add, they served both versions of white tuna; escolar and albacore. Unfortunately they didn’t serve red tuna, but hey, I’m still extremely happy about the place.
Ashley has stated her extreme satisfaction in the kitchen items (she’s quite a stickler for her kalbi), which is a definite plus.
Their dinner variety of rolls were rather limited, and while some of them were good, many of them came out just okay. I was too enamored over the sashimi to think about anything else at that time.
Their standard sushi rolls were quite good as well, including their hand rolls. One cute thing to add is that they are the only restaurant I’ve been to that uses traditional handroll plates (a stand with little holes to insert the cones; coolest presentation for temaki).
All in all this place was fantastic. I will definitely come back here for dinner with the family when the time comes instead of Spoonful (which, might I add costs an arm a leg for dinner in comparison to this place, which is reasonable for dinner).
The only downsides is that the restaurant layout was rather crowded, and a little loud given the small space you’re put in. But considering that the establishment went from a Wendy’s to a AYCE top notch sushi restaurant, I couldn’t help but think to myself: ‘Now THAT’S better’.

I really enjoy this place. IPad ordering system. The food comes out quite quickly and is fresh. Above adverage for your AYCE sushi.
I like that we get what we order. Some places we find dishes we ordered but never got… or we get dishes we never ordered.
Service is ok… they dont bother you and for the most part attentive with the tea refills.
At the end… when you get your bill, its best to bring it up fromt to pay. Waiting for a waitress to come seems to take a long time. Nor sure why but I have sat for 10+ mins and finally gave up. Once I went up front… I have 3 orther diners follow suit as they were waitinf awhile too.
Private parking lot with ample parking spots. There is a section on the north side of the building where they can have outdoor seating in the summer… which would be a nice touch.
I am glad that this place seems to be doing well. For those who are familiar with this Brampton location… it seemed to have a bad curse for many years… businesses prior never seemed to last.

Coming here since they opened. Ordered Philadelphia roll and it came with small amount of cream cheese. Told them to redo it and they gave me 2 slices instead.

Good place to get you ayce sushi fix. i went here with my family. We came at an earlier ish time i guess (i think it just opened) since it wasn’t busy. It was easy to find parking and we were seated quickly. The food was good — i can’t really remember what i has since it was just a crazy long order in whatever order. I’d go back again :)

Had been waiting to go to this sushi place. So here is the thing, all these sushi places are purchasing the sushi grade fish from the same wholesale vendor. So all these sushi places now taste somewhat alike.
Sushi rice (cause thats the imp bit): lacked the balance of acidity and sweetness.
Fried foods: not so good, not so bad. It’s the same everywhere you go now.
Teriyaki sauce and dishes: a bit bland and lacked flavour that a typical teriyaki sauce has. Beef was not succulent, it was disintegrating.
Service: a bit rough. Hardly any smiles, in your face service with being straight to the point.
How about a Lil please?

Food is sub-​par and service was disappointing. If you complain about something, be prepared to have it be made your fault. Not impressed.
Also, when I received my second refill of gingerale, it was half full. The server’s excuse? There were too many bubbles. Really? Ever hear of waiting and refilling accordingly?
So disappointed!
Don’t order:
— any meat unless you enjoy eating only jerky
— calamari (disgusting…only served the tentacles and they were not cleaned properly)
— sushi pizza (bland…missing a lot of flavour)
— chicken wings (bland and overly battered)
— any sushi because the rice was old and didn’t have good flavour

Tokyo Maki Sushi was on my radar to try for 4 years now, so glad I finally ate here. The atmosphere was very modern and clean. Being a tech girl, I was impressed with the ipad ordering system. However I felt the system was slowed down by getting the server to process the order. Being our first visit, I was a bit disapointed that no one explained the ordering system, however we figured it out just fine.
This visit we had a lot of the fried foods, because I did not realize the ipad menu slid further right with more options. On my next visit I am interested in over indulging in the chefs specials of sushi. They all sounded so intriguing.
Note worthy dishes to try:
1) I had the pleasure of trying the Kamikaze Roll, which was delicious, fresh and awesome!
2) The teriyaki beef was tender and juicy; and what I liked best is the sauce did not over power the natural beef flavour.
3) The mocha cake was fit for royalty, light, fluffy and full of flavour, but not over sweet.
4) I drank a lot of green tea, it was delicious, not too pungent.
Pop and tea were included in the price. Our dinner of two AYCE costed just under $ 60 with tip. This will be my new regular sushi place for a while, at least until I try all the chef special rolls :)
I deducted 1 star due to air temperature. It was cold in the restaurant, we had to wear our coats throughout nearly the whole dinner, which was really uncomfortable and considering how much hot tea I drank, I should have been feeling hot. At first, I thought it was cold air coming through the door opening and closing, but as I walked around the restaurant I felt a lot of drafts. The building must be poorly insulated.

Unilocal is right, I am definitely a fan!
The hi-​tech sushi order system is a first for me and I enjoyed it, once I got the hang of it… I did not realize you could scroll and when I got the hang of that, well that made my experience so much better. I wish the staff were a bit more friendly but they were quick and the sushi was delicious. I urge everyone to try anything butterfish, it was a great discovery and Tokyo Maki Sushi makes one heck of a butterfish handroll. Plus, the handrolls are served in such a neat way; individually spaced and on a pedestal.
Even with the added scrolling the selection of sushi was mediocre. There was a lot more extra items: deep fried, teriyaki, curry, etc. Sad.
The restaurant was clean, open and plenty of seating. All and all a pretty good sushi day!

This was my first AYCE Sushi experience. I was a little confused with the tablets at first but then I quickly realized what a cool concept it was. It’s like living in the future! (haha)
When it comes to sushi and japanese food, I am so easy to please. I enjoyed everything that we ordered which included a spattering of everything (singapore noodles, dynamite rolls, tempura, general tso chicken, etc etc) and I had room for dessert of ice cream which is a nice lighter type of treat after stuffing yourself to the gills.
I remember when this place was a Wendy’s, but I like it more now. :)

One liner summary: Thank God-​zilla their name isn’t Tokyo Cooked foods.
Order: a bunch of sushi, Toronto roll, BBQ eel roll, siu mai, BBQ beef ribs, salmon belly, miso soup, seaweed salad, pork cutlet on rice,
Likes:
#sushi was fairly fresh and wasn’t overloaded with rice, I especially liked the tobiko
# very friendly service and with a smile (if you regularly frequent Asian restaurants, you know how rare this is
#about $ 1 cheaper than most AYCE places — $ 13.99 on weekdays and 14.99 on weekends
#ribs were tender although they seemed more like the Chinese cooking style but still good
For the sushi portion and price, I would give them four stars but what brings it down is the cooked food.
Dislikes:
All the cooked food except the ribs. It was all too salty and or drenched in soya or teriyaki sauce, especially the pork cutlet and salmon belly. Quite ashame too as the cook on the salmon belly was perfect.
Verdict: come for the sushi, not the cooked foods (unless you are trying to get a few days of sodium intake in one day)
