Daisuki Sushi

don’t like being necessarily negative, as it doesn’t help anyone who is looking for honest feedback for a place they may want to try. Having said that, I find it almost a requirement to warn you before going here as it is a terrible experience all the way through as you get what you pay for.
Atmosphere:
This is a hole in the wall place that reminds of you visiting your friend as a kid who had parents with bad taste in décor. It was very plain, dull, and terrible. Doesn’t make you feel safe for what you’re going to eat. The one waitress sits there on her phone texting and watching videos, the guy who prepares the food isn’t in any chefs gear, doesn’t wear gloves, and is in jeans and a t-​shirt like he’s preparing this in their living room which isn’t sanitary or desirable. Tables and chairs are poorly laid out and are in terrible shape for a restaurant.
Service:
Slow, and inefficient. The orders you write down take a long time to come and the server always seemed to giving you an attitude for the way you were ordering.
Food:
brutal quality. Badly cut. Sashimi still attached, way too much rice on the rolls and just tasted terrible. This is by far one of the worst sushi places I’ve ever eaten from, including days old grocery store sushi.
PLEASE DON’T GO HERE. They charge a 10% service charge which is despicable. People who like this sushi must’ve never tried good sushi. Everything is terrible, poorly constructed, and poorly cut or cooked.
Visited August 2015

Everything was… OK. Nothing great, nothing terrible. This was the second time I visited in the space of about two years, and I can honestly say not much has changed. The décor is simple, the ambience is a bit understated, and the food is decent but quite cheap.
We tried our staples: a tempura appetizer, a spicy salmon roll, and a red dragon roll. The tempura came last (!) despite it being an appetizer, I guess because it needed to be fried. But it was pretty good and the tempura sauce, which came in pretty hot, was quite sweet and lovely. The red dragon roll wasn’t of the highest quality and the salmon felt very thin, but was still delicious enough for a pass. Ditto the spicy salmon roll. The ingredients were never going to be out-​of-​this-​world fresh, and so it proved, but there was nothing fundamentally wrong with them.
The prices were pretty damn good though, our meal above, along with an order of green tea ice cream, came to just over $ 20 or so which was pretty cheap for a weekend dinner. Also, their AYCE prices seem to be pretty low too, although I’m pretty sure the prices ON the menu needed to be updated as I’ve read higher prices somewhere else (which I found odd). Still, a around $ 13 for lunch AYCE at any day, it’s not bad.
Service was very pleasant and the people were quite friendly. There’s nothing to take this restaurant to the next level, but overall it’s pretty decent. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.

Very slow service but overall good food — salmon sashimi is very fresh and nicely presented in the form of a flower. Comparatively cheaper AYCE and place is very low key — looks more like a diner than an AYCE sushi restaurant. Waiters are polite but way understaffed — only 1 waiter, 1 person making sushi and 1 person in the kitchen. Food takes a long time to arrive and service is super slow, you will be better off helping yourself rather than waiting for them to wipe the table or to get you the menu (for 2^nd order). While placing an order on paper, be prepared that they will miss some items but if you order directly with the waiter, he will bring your items right away. Menu is not too extensive but overall enough kitchen selection.

Looking for a cheap and quick bite of sushi? Look somewhere else. They attracted me in with their aggressive lunch AYCE buffet price ($ 12.99!) and they had a large selection of maki and unagi rolls. I ordered 5 standard rolls and the first two (spicy salmon, BBQ eel) was nothing special. I’d review the other 3 but they never came. After waiting 40 min I asked about the status of my other rolls when the waiter told me that they ran out of fish. WTF. And to be clear, it’s a small restaurant and there were only 2 diners. I also frequent many Asian restaurants so I am accustomed to «Asian level» service. This was a new low.
So, average food with low turn over (I would not be surprised if food poisoning visits me tonight) coupled with clueless service has me giving this place a low score. You want quick and cheap sushi? Try a grocery store like Loblaws or T&T … it’ll probably be quicker and fresher too.

The Sushi Is by no means exceptional, but I’ve been going her since I was a teenager and I love it! It’s all-​you-​can-​eat at a great price, especially at lunchtime during the week, and their noodle dishes are especially good!

Came to an all u can eat I’m Markham. The price was perfect and the service was amazing

Terrible service… make sure you double check the menu and prices as I was surprised to know that what I ordered from the menu was now going to cost me more as the server brought over a «revised rate“menu… worst of all she told me this when she served the dish, when I questioned why she didnt tell me this before, she picked up the dish to take it back when we have been sitting there for 10 mins waiting for our food…
The lack of service is enough for me to never return back… After all its markham, there are 100+ sushi bars…

Decently priced and we didn’t have to wait too long for our food to arrive. They need to improve on their boring décor and the service. There was only one waiter there and he wasn’t as attentive as he could have been… they should seriously hire more people to wait the tables. The food was good and warm, only the sashimi was kind of small. I would recommend it to those that just want their sushi fix, but if you are going out for a date and trying to make an impression this would not be the place.

Ordered delivery took a hour and a half to get here and I’m 10 mins away. they put my salad with my hot food and it git nasty and soggy. The sashimi was tiny portions fir what I paid. Also driver had no change. I won’t go back :-(markham sushi rocks! Wish they delivered.

This place deserves a half star, mainly for the service. Since it’s in the neighborhood we gave it a few chances but everytime the service has been mediocre at the best. Today, I placed a take out order over the phone. 30 mins later, when I reach the restaurant to pick up the «order» all I’m greeted is with blank stares! The «order» is sitting on the counter, it never reached the kitchen!!! When asked how long the will it take to get the food ready, all I get is 20 mins, no apology nothing. Exasperated I ask her to cancel the order, and once again I’m met with a blank stare. Not once did she apologize for her mistake, in stead she went about her way as if nothing happened. Will never go back to this awful service! Absolutely disgraceful!

This is one of the cheaper AYCE sushi places in markham. They offer both AYCE and a la carte options. Servers were polite and nice.
AYCE menu was decent, rolls were good and sashimi was surprisingly quite fresh. Their lunch and dinner prices were the same on weekdays and weekends whereas most places charge a few dollars more on weekends. Lunch $ 12.99 and dinner $ 19.99.

They were renovating the exterior of the plaza so it was very difficult to find the restaurant. Food was great but the service was terrible! There was only one server working and he was nowhere tone seen when we needed something. Didn’t get tea when we sat down, didn’t take our order, didn’t get utensils when our food came out and when asked. Had to go up to the counter and ask the sushi chef but he didn’t pass the message along…

Monday, 1 person, AYCE sushi lunch.
I love how the price is $ 12.99 for AYCE lunch no matter whether it’s a weekday or weekend, compared to other places that charge a premium for Fridays and weekends. I also love the beef ribs, the meat had lots of flavour and was soft and chewy (I like it that way). When I initially sat down, the service was good as I was one of two parties in the restaurant.
The restaurant itself is nicely decorated, the front store area is clean and modern-​looking. There is a power outlet in the far corner of the restaurant if you have a laptop.
Unfortunately, that’s where most of my loves end, and my gripes appear. :(The sushi is nothing spectacular — the toppings on the dragon rolls were very thin and the maki is made of mostly rice. The eel maki for instance had an extremely small piece of eel and a medium-​sized piece of cucumber — just see my picture!
I did not try the sashimi, as I went at lunch.
For better maki, try Oban Sushi at Bur Oak and Kennedy or Yang’s Kitchen at Highway 7 between Warden and Main St. Unionville.

FOOD
— This is pretty much a last resort place for sushi because they’re open late (until 10pm).
— The sushi and sashimi are mediocre at best, average fish quality, and the rolls are very messily rolled.
— In terms of hot foods, their chapche is pretty tasty and you get a large portion. Moreover, their beef ribs are nicely seasoned and tender.
SERVICE
— There’s only 1 server. Depending on who you get, it can be the male server in his 30s who speaks English and actually interacts with you but is kind of rude, or the female in her 30s who does not speak and throws the food on the table.
— This one time I went in for take-​out, one of the 2 sushi chefs was simultaneously playing a game on his iPad and rolling sushi. A little unhygienic, don’t you think? Maybe that’s why it takes so long to get my food!
ATMOSPHERE/​MISC
— Nothing really special, kind of bland, actually. It’s a pretty small sized place.
— I go here for AYCE lunch because it’s cheap, only $ 13.99

I went here once about a year ago with some friends for sushi. The ambiance inside the restaurant felt very cold. This aside, I typically save my judgement for the food. The food was equally as bad as the environment.
I’ve eaten here twice, once I had delivery at a friends house and the other time we ate at the restaurant. For delivery I got the chicken teriyaki bento box which was bland and the chicken was fatty. When we ate at the restaurant we ordered sushi which was very mediocre and now worth going back for.
If you’re looking for decent sushi in this area I strongly recommend you try Markham Sushi, it’s fresh, clean and the atmosphere is better.

Daisuki is an okay Japanese place for casual dining. They serve both AYCE & a la cart dinners. We ordered a bibimbap and an assorted sashimi plate. The bibimbap was not up to par. The sashimi was really fresh for an AYCE place. The size of the slice was small, however.
The service was a little slow as there was only 1 waiter who also worked on the sushi bar. They didn’t bring us tea until we asked for it. The décor, or lack of, was nothing to talk about.
It is worthy to mention that they charge $ 20 for AYCE dinner from Monday to Sunday. This means there is no $ 2 surcharge for weekend, making it probably the least expensive AYCE Japanese restaurant on weekends in Markham.

I donno about anyone else but I ate here once and it was the first time I kept the receipt. I thought I was gonna get food poisoning. The white fish were yellowish brown and looks like it’s been out for a long time. Same with the other fish. The worst sushi place ever.
I wish I could give negative star ratings

Daisuki Sushi is a good neighbourhood AYCE Japanese Restaurant. It’s not worth a special trip up here.

All tasted decent. Great to come here if you have sushi/​maki cravings as they do have a great selections of different rolls.
Only one waiter who dressed in his casual basketball outfit serving the lunch crowd. He got the job done and I got my tea refilled when I asked for more. Chinese pop music kept the sushi chef and waiter entertained while they were busy at work!

Love love love this place. We usually have AYCE dinner and it has never disappointed. Try spicy salmon roll, dragon roll, black dragon roll, sweet potatoe tempura, kalbi ribs, eel sushi. Yes, the salmon sashimi is thinly sliced but since it’s AYCE, it doesn’t matter to me. Rolls are nicely sized and not too much rice. Nice balance. You must try this place. Great value.
As a side I also like that it’s a group of young adults running the place. I love that people can be young and have the courage to employ themselves and run a business. I wouldn’t do it myself so bravo to them for managing it on their own.
Note: sashimi is only available for the dinner AYCE.

Daisuki is an awesome place to eat when you are out for a casual time with friends.
It is very non descript, and there are usually no more than 3 staff at any time, but the food is fresh and awesome.
I always get the AYCE. It’s a deal for $ 12 for lunch! Unlike the other AYCE places i have been to in Markham, they do NOT overload the rice on the Maki — its protien first here!
Never had a bad meal, the staff is super friendly, and even my kids love it here!
