Yang Yang’s Kitchen

Poor service. I asked for 3 pieces of the fish because we were 3 people. They brought it burnt and it had a sour taste to it so we didn’t finish it. The woman said in Chinese «look at them wasting the fish» and when we were about to pay she wanted to charge us for it. The food later on gave us food poisoning too. My second time trying this place but I don’t recommend it.

Been meaning to write a review. I made reservations for 7pm on Saturday for 7 people and we weren’t seated until 7:30. I get it, it’s a weekend, it’s packed, you’re super busy… but the purpose of making reservations is to avoid this situation and reserve the table 1 hour ahead or something. Or tip for u guys, just come 30 min early before your reservation time!
For 27.99 pp… I’m better off going somewhere else for better service and food quality. I wonder why people are stil going here? Food arrived quickly but a few orders are missed or they give you the wrong orders. For pop — you only get Coke or Sprite. Come on .not even ice tea?!
Oh and saving the best for last… I got food poisoning when I got home: S true story. Must have been the FROZEN beef sashimi (oh wait I didn’t eat that.) well it’s something there for sure.
Food that tasted decent: seaweed salad, spicy salmon maki, steak, baked clam, and. that’s it.
I’m trying kaka ayce next. Try to reserved there first but they were full.

I have to write a review as I see a lot of people ripping on the «lack» of service. When we (bf & I) have a huge sushi craving, we always come here. I would say we come here at least once a month or two.
Honestly, I don’t care for the service when I go to Yang’s because they are one of the best AYCE sushi restaurants I’ve been to in Markham.
When you’re hungry, you’ll appreciate how quick the food comes to you and their selection of items are really good. The sushi is really good!!!
If you need to order, just flag a waiter down. Not a big deal. They’re really quick and I never had an issue waiting too long for service. I just don’t see how they are rude.

Ate here on Christmas evening. Restaurant wasn’t busy but service was slow. I ordered a philly roll and it was Fried with tempura bits and drenched in mayo. Not what I expected a philly roll to be but the presentation was awesome.
The salmon sashimi was great. Would eat here here again (just not the philly roll).

We’ve been wanting to try Yangs for quite some time now. Parking lot always seems to be busy with patrons.
$ 24.99/adult for weeknight dinner.
Had a variety of things…
Sushimi came extremely quick and looked weird visually. Salmon was very dark orange. Too dark in fact, and when you bite into it, you realize it’s extremely cold. If you had sensitive teeth, you’d be screaming in agony from it. Seems they pre-​cut their sushimi and keep it on the cooler. Explains why it came so fast. This is the first time I’ve ever had it served like that. Not impressed at all.
Had a couple of different noodles. Size per was very small compared to other AYCEs. Spicy seafood noodle — was just the seafood noodle with a huge squirt is sriracha sauce. Again, not impressed.
Shrimp tempura were ok. Onion tempura were too soggy.
Had the soft shell crab roll, California roll, volcano roll, scallop roll, and green dragon.
Pieces were not cut up evenly. Sizes of each piece was no where near uniform. Almost like presentation didn’t matter. Soft shell crap was disgusting. It had a itty bitty piece of crab and a whole lotta mayo. I’m not taking spicy mayo. I’m talking miracle whip, out the jar mayo. Seems they like to use it for a lot of things.
Ordered both the eel pancake & Hokkaiyaki scallop which was 1 per person limit. Pancake was ok. Wouldn’t have ordered more even if I could. The scallop was nasty. Even worst than the crab roll. Basically a scoop of mayo (again not the spicy, but the jarred mayo) and a piece of scallop the size of my thumb nail. No, that’s not an exaggeration, unfortunately. They mayo was very tangy. Also turned of you ask me. I just ate scallop, and even then I still had the tangy mayo taste so didn’t really enjoy it.
Place seems needing a renovation. Booth was adequate for 2, but would be right for 4. Overall spacing was very cramped. Can walk down aisle 2-​abreast. Washrooms looked stained & run down.
Overall service was ok. Nothing special/​exceptional. It was quick, but that’s probably because of the pre-​cut sushimi and I’m sure they pre cook lots of their stuff too (soup noodle came out pretty fast too). Staff weren’t too friendly. But that’s probably cause they charge 10% gratuity on top of your total bill. It irks me when restaurants do this… even worst is they calculate it after taxes. So they are getting 10% of taxes too?
In the end, the experience is all based on whether you’d recommend or go back again; and safe to say I would do either.

I use to like going to this place when visiting relatives near the area. Now it’s changed so much. I think the quality has gone way down and the service is meh, had to call staff multiple times for just water or extra ginger. They don’t even have order sheets for you to fill out on your own, you have to call someone over.
Menu prices have gone up with for no discount for seniors during lunch. No fried banana for dessert (only ice cream) and lunch service ends earlier then most other AYCE sushi places.
Can’t recommend this resto unless they start serving better sushi. They clearly are cutting corners and it shows. Sorry but for anyone who thinks this is a good sushi place, try Heart Sushi (not the best but good, steps above this one) or even Japango (delish but non-​ayce place).

I used to go to another AYCE almost across the street — it was too busy with a big wait time, so my hubby & decided to check out Yang’s. It came highly recommended.
I love sushi, i could it eat it every day if i could. I settle for 1 – 2 times a week.
There wasn’t 1 thing I liked about this place.
Service was bad — rude & ignored us for the most part. Didn’t come around often to our table. No ice for the soft drinks, sushi & rolls had too much rice and not even visually appealing or appetizing. I was actually smelling the fish before eating it — never done that ever at a restaurant. Wasn’t a fan of any of their hot foods either. Asian fusion = Chinese style Japanese food. Gross and nothing stood out except for unappetizing food.
Will not go back — and in case you’re wondering. I don’t even go to the place across the street anymore. Much better Japanese restaurants in Unionville & Markham now.

By far the BEST sushi quality than any other ayce place
The appetizers r pretty good
The service is alright
But in terms of sushi, best best quality. Loooove it

Worst AYCE place I’ve been to.
Went once with a group of 4 but was seated at a table meant for 2.
Food quality was below average and the service was horribly slow. What ticked me off is that they kicked us out for reaching the time limit (I think it was 1 hour) even though we spent about as much time eating as trying to flag a server down and waiting for food.
Will not be going back.

We were there last night for dinner on Civic Monday holiday. It was quite busy on the one side of the restaurant. The servers appear to be very busy attending all the other tables ordering AYCE. I was having dinner with my BF and we both ordered the dinner bento box combos. I had the chicken teriyaki (Combo B) and he had (Combo D) with eel … When we received our miso soup it was announced to us by the young male server that we will not get our salad. The salad that is provided with the combo. I had asked to clarify if they will be making more later or we will not get salad at all. The server did not have an answer and was very confused when looking at us walking away.
The bento box combo was below average taste of the meat. Also one of the sections on the box was generously filled with lots of bean sprouts. The «shrimp» tempura was two pieces and mix of other veggies. The chicken was dry with old fatty pieces. The rice was dry and day old stale texture. The only positive side of my meal is the tasty miso soup and mango ice cream. In addition to my food review the automatic 10% tip on my bill for a la carte order. I was so disappointed that I walked out of there feeling ripped off for my $ 16.99 dinner and paid cash for exact rounded closest to total on bill.

Aweful, just Aweful. The place is way too busy and is very, very disorganized. Expect to wait a good while betweeen the time you order an item and the time you get said item.
Further, expect to get only approximately half of the items you order, and out of those half maybe half would be exactly as you requested them. For example, i ordered the chicken cutlet, without sauce, instead got the pork cutlet with plenty of sauce drenched on top; ordered the sushi pizza without any toppings, just the rice part without sauce, instead got the the rice with mayo on top; ordered shrimp & vegetable tempura, got shrimp only… you get the idea.
Had to request the tempura 3 times before getting it (incorrectly, as noted above), but at least got some…
The problem is that they have too many tables, too many patrons, and too many staff that dont know whats going on. Also, you dont have an assigned waiter, its random waiters/​waitresses that walk by and take orders, and other random waiters dropping off food at your table, regardless of it being correct or not. There is no accountability with orders.
I have been to other AYCE sushi places, and yes there has been the occaisional glitch, but the hit rate on ordrers i would estimate at 90−95%, as opposed to this place where its 40−50%…
As far as the quality of the food goes i would say just average for most of the stuff, except for the beef dishes and teriaky salmon which were above average.
Regardless, i am banning this place permanently and will not be going back ever again.

It’s friday night and I was in Markham around the gf’s siblings and figure we would go out for dinner. My problem with Markham is the lack of diversity of food which didn’t really bug me in the past, but recently, I’m finding myself getting tired of the same Chinese imitation of all other Asian cultures. These are the numerous Chinese ran thai/​viet/​jap restaurants that claim authenticity, but the only that is authentic is their name. Yang, was one those ayce sushi places that was far from authentic. Even their name didn’t seem Japanese. I might be wrong though. My first impression was not really that good. Décor was plain, and the seat I first sat on was broken. Made me feel like I was 10 as it sunk my rear end 2 feet from the ground. Reminded me of Pai which seems to be a recurring feeling. :S
We ordered the food and the best surprise came from the food. I have to say that I didn’t have that much expectation, but after having my first taste of salmon sashimi, I was pleasantly surprised. It was glistening of freshness and quite savoury. The rolls weren’t that good, but the meats were yummy. Beef short ribs (not fatty), Black Cod, Chicken kidney, Sirloin skewers, cuttle fish were all hits in my opinion. I’m still dreaming how good the sirloin were. Beef sashimi was disappointing. Not as good as some people described it in Unilocal.The special scallops were ok. Nothing special. Same with eel pizza. Desserts were good. Had the red bean ice cream, mango yogurt and crème brûlée. All were yummy, but I wouldn’t say they are amazing.
Overall, for an ayce, Yang has some items that will make me come back over and over again. Hockey used to be my main ayce, but after having those sirloin skewers and beef short ribs, I will have to say Yang has taken over.

Disappointing.
This AYCE sushi place used to be the go to restaurant. Quality has gone done significantly in the last years.
Our last visit there with friends was highly disappointing, sushi wasn’t fresh. Beef sashimi was frozen. Service was slow.

If you ever wanna go somewhere that has a bunch of people who hate their jobs, this is where you want to go! Not a single smile on any of the staff the entire night I was there! I also feel that the prices have gone up recently, as I went in on a weeknight and I felt I was paying a fortune! At $ 23.99 before tips & tax, that’s getting a bit much on a weeknight, even for AYCE.
Even so, it was surprisingly busy on a Wednesday night, and we had to wait a bit for a table. Upon our arrival, we were told to wait multiple times for a table by different staff. Seemed a little annoying being told that many times and probably should have 1 person as a host, rather than 2 – 3. When we got seated, our dishes were dirty and couldn’t get anyone’s attention to replace it. Definitely not a good start to the dinner.
We started ordering and getting our food, but was a bit hard to see if the servers understood what we were saying. No responses or reactions when taking our orders, we had to repeat ourselves in which case made them question our orders. When they brought us our food, they practically threw the dishes on our table! They even had dishes stacked on top of food on other plates while carrying them to the tables! Definitely not hygienic at all!
The only redeeming factor was that some dishes were quite good. The Beef Sashimi was decent, the sashimi were good overall, and the teriyaki foods were good too. I would say they got the 1 star for just the food itself.
Service is definitely not the best here. Felt like the staff were constantly annoyed and hated serving their customers. There are definitely much better AYCE Japanese restaurants in the neighbourhood. I would highly recommend going elsewhere. (PS: they seem to include tip here, so don’t tip on top when paying!)

This used to be my favourite local AYCE sushi restaurant b/​c I enjoyed the food. Service was always hit or miss. But one dinner, their disgraceful customer service pushed me over the edge of no return.
I had previously written a review for this restaurant, but it is mysteriously gone. So now, I am writing it again.

The breaking point was when 2 waitresses mistreated my extended family and I during dinner.
They refused to serve 2 of our tables individually, and told us we had to order as one table. When she served the food, she would put all of the food on one table, requiring people from my table to walk over and pick up our dishes, and bring them back with us to our table. Ridiculous. I can’t believe we tolerated this. After a few orders, she changed her mind and allowed our tables to order separately. How extremely frustrating.
Other times, we tried to get the waitresses’ attention, but they would ignore us.
One of my adult cousins had to turn around and kneel from his seat to speak to a waitress while placing an order, because she would not stand next to our table. Another adult cousin went out of her way and practically left the table to find a wait staff to order from.
Mid-​order, a waitress abruptly walked away from me and left our table. My uncle and I were shocked — I was still speaking, yet she turned her back on me and left!
I could go on…

My family and I were very polite guests and we did not deserve this kind of treatment. In fact, we reacted in kindness and tried to counteract the wait staff’s inappropriate behaviour with good manners and gentle speech: WE were the ones accommodating the staff.
I will never make the mistake of recommending this restaurant again.

Great food! Pool services.
They put 10% tips before tax… I guess they knows that kid of services won’t get tips.

I came here on a busy day and got seated immediately. I didn’t find it necessary to be seated immediately if my sushi came an hour later. Their beef sashimi is not authentic. They use raw beef that looks like the ones you would hot pot (sliced). I came here twice and I was happy from my first experience but I guess I was too hungry to truly realize the quality of their food and service. I guess you can’t expect much from an all you can eat sushi place.

Went there 1 month ago with my coworkers
The service… is…a little disappointed…
The food are disgusting. .my coworker had diarrhea right after.
The food has no presentation… and server are rude.
They trying to rush you or impatient when we placing order.
I rather go back to Matsuda.

I’m seriously torn on this restaurant. For a sushi buffet restaurant the food is great I would give 4.5 stars. However, the service is absolute crap — 2 stars.
From my experience, sushi buffets require little to no interaction. We just pick and choose what we want, the server takes it down and brings it over. I didn’t think that it could be messed up but evidently this restaurant doesn’t understand service. When the water was served, the glasses were slammed on the table. When we tried to order, the waitress barely understood English and gave us death glares the entire meal. At the end, for last call, we ordered some ice cream. However, it came before the rest of the items on our last order so we just left it.
The food however, was absolutely delicious. The sushi was great quality for a buffet. My favourite were the salmon sushi. The rolls were not bad — mediocre. The grilled dishes were also a favourite. We got the eggplant, salmon head, and chicken teriyaki. The eggplant was my favourite — it was grilled nicely but a little oily.
Overall, it was worth the quality of food and I would visit again. However, I would not tip more than I have to. 10% of our meal is already included in the bill so it works out nicely.

Weekday dinner $ 23.99/ adult
Food was okay. Baked scallop ans eel pancake is only one per person.
Shrimp and king crab is weekend only.
Salmon tataki was basically cooked salmon with sauce and fried onion (more cooked then tataki should be).
Volcano roll is just deep fried Philadelphia roll.
The chawamushi steamed egg had a lot of good fillings.
Service was decent but DO NOT order from this chubby asian girl who never smiles and walks very slow. I’m not judging bit her service is slow and sloppy. Ordering from her you have to point at the menu, she has to look at It closely then slowly write it. I ordered 20 pcs sashimi, 2 came. I could have ordered 10 things with another server and she will still be reading and writing 2 items off the menu.
The salmon sashimi had some blood in it so that scared me.
The presentation of the steamed egg was poor as they left the wrapper on it.
You can get 10% off if paid by cash only from CCUE.
The place looks nicer and cleaner after renovation but still not my favorite AYCE in the area.
