Sakura

out of the 2 sushi places in kingston, its the better one. a little less options, but i enjoy the food, and the service is normally pretty decent, even when its a busy friday i recommd this AYCE sushi rather then the other one in kingston. I really enjoy their sushi pizzas, and their tempura is always on point!

good for an all you can eat but not for a good sushi experience. Worth a visit, but we have found much better and will pay the extra for it.

I have been several times. The food quality is under average, the service quality is even lower. Most of the time, the waitresses don’t serve sashimi or serve it after 30 mins for dinner.

For a Kingston AYCE sushi place I think this is amazing! Its a great deal compared to the rest of the AYCE places in Kingston. coming from toronto… Kingston does not have many choices. And even within those few places… the selection of food is minimal. Sakura resembles the wide selection offered at bigger cities more than any of its other kingston competitions.
Their daily price, even on weekends in 20.95 which is a pretty decent price for AYCE! They even had mackerel sashimi cut pretty thick! They had a wide selection of appetizers and items from the grill/​teppanyaki.
If you want to have tepanyaki in Kingston then this is the place to be! Its like a show and a dinner with lots of space!
The restaurant is also really clean. Washrooms are kept well.
It seems the Unilocalers have mixed reviews on their service. We came on a Sunday evening and service was decent. They cleared our plates pretty fast and brought out food quickly. Staff weren’t super attentive but they weren’t hard to wave down.
Also to note! they have pretty cheap drinks! 3.50 $ Long islands and Caesars on weekends. And they also have weekday specials. but even without these specials the drinks are cheap. A tom collins would be under $ 5.

The sushi was mediocre and the customer service was below average. Probably will not return.

Visiting from Halifax, we got taken here by my in-​laws. While not immediately taken at the thought of sushi, I embraced it as pet of the trip.
Best meal I have had entire visit! Everyone loved! The kids choked down!
Bonus, the staff went out of their way to suggest gluten free items for my wife to eat. They seemed very conscious of how important it was to her. Well done!
Food was amazing. And price was right.

The food was amazing. All you can eat on the menu for $ 20.99 was not bad. My husband and I loved the sushi, however the service was horrible. The way this restaurant works is you write the number of the food you want on a piece of paper and the waitress/​waiter comes to pick it up. This did not work so well because they had 3 servers through the whole night for the whole resturant. It was the worst customer service we have ever experienced. This restaurant distinctly doesnt care about customers just solely about making money. The reason for the 3 stars is because the food was good. But it did take 2.5 hours total to get all our food.

Since I’m not much of a sushi kinda guy I’ll keep this review short. At the end of the meal I think I managed to devour approximately 30 pieces… for not being a sushi guy it was pretty tasty stuff. Very clean and the service was great. Price was great, $ 25 for all you can eat and the menus is quite large.

From an all you can eat sushi/​Asian buffet standpoint this is a phenomenal restaurant! IMO all fresh and delicious and would def pop in again if in the Kingston area!

Excellent value but nothing special. The place is clean and the service is quite good. That big gold fish poster confused me a bit, but then again i’ve never had gold fish sushi before…

Honestly folks this place is terrible. It is NOT good even by Kingston sushi standards (there are other, much better, places to eat namely Akira and Sima). The all-​you-​can-​eat menu is paltry, and small. You know a sushi restaurant is of questionable worth when the menu is broken down into ‘raw sushi’ and ‘cooked sushi.’ Uhh… yea. Not to mention there are like four options for ‘raw’ sushi. This place caters to … how should I say this politely … ‘white’ people who like ‘sushi.’ There I said it. It really is just a place to indulge in vast quantities of ‘Japanese food.’ Not to mention the service is downright AWFUL, like bad bad. My boyfriend and I were sitted right next to another group of chatty guests and the rest of the entire restaurant was EMPTY. Could you not have spread us around a little bit? and it still took 25 minutes for our meal to come to the table. The fish is NOT fresh, it is frozen and pulled out when said menu choice is ordered. I really don’t know what those sushi chefs were preparing but it was probably tomorrow’s lunch. I was appalled. I am no sushi snob but I have eaten at a number of sushi restaurants – à la carte and all-​you-​can-​eat – and this was by far my worst experience. BEWARE. The sushi gods have delivered a runt of the litter. Stay away.

Exceptional value for sushi in Kingston. All you can eat sushi menu has a decent variety but nothing stellar. Food quality ranges from average to slightly above average, but you’re definitely not getting top quality fish here. Service used to be really bad, but I actually had a good experience here today. If you’re craving a lot of sushi on a tight budget, this is the place for you.

I’ll admit, I’m more conceptually attached to Sakura then anything else. The challenge of a 12.99 all you can eat buffet inspires a certain part of me. That plus the added penalty of being charged extra for not finishing anything you order and I’ve already started fasting in anticipation for stuffing myself full of tempura and green tea.
That aside, the menu is pretty lack-​lustre (especially for veggies). Nothing out of this world, but if you plan your day around it (and a trip to VV next door) it can be a pretty exciting little sojourn out on Bath Rd.

I would say that this is probably good Japanese food for Kingston… the All You Can Eat for $ 13.99 on weekends is a great bargain. Fish is not super fresh but not bad. Liked the mackeral sushi. Tempura was crisp and a little greasy. Teppanyaki grilled vegetables were a little disappointing, a tad soggy. Seaweed salad was standard issue. Dumplings were a little bit bland. Green tea ice cream was good, pretty standard issue. Overall, nothing exciting about this restaurant other than a good place to satiate your Japanese food cravings in Kingston. Note: it is across the street from the minimum/​medium security prison at Frontenac Mall.
