Tekka Sushi

Ordered for the first time yesterday at 734pm and the food only came at 830pm. So that was the first thing that irritated me. Friend and I ordered beef fried rice, chicken teriyaki, beef, chicken and avocado with spinach sushi.
Because the food came late it wasn’t warm anymore to start. The chicken teriyaki came only with A LOT of been sprouts no other vegetables as it claims to come with along with miso soup which was just ok and even the rice wasnt great.
On to the sushi: the chicken and beef sushi was absolutely the worst Ive ever tasted. It tasted old and almost as if was heated from being frozen. There was no effort put into this food.
I will never order from here again and my opinion is order at your own risk

We used to order pretty often from Tekka. But their quality has fallen off as of late. Fish doesnt taste as fresh and bland rolls.

This was somewhere between a 2.5 and a 3. I made a reservation for 10 and they told me I could have 10% off if I paid cash. That I did. It came out to just over $ 20/​person after tax and tip (10% included). We got seated in their back room, where two other parties already were. Although a few members of my party had arrived before I did, there were no cups on our table and there was no tea. It took them 10 – 15 minutes to bring us our tea and cups… after I asked twice. The second time I asked, they said they were bringing it, but that they were busy, and that it would take time. I had to get our soy sauce and wasabi.
I asked that our table be treated like two separate tables, only seated together, in order that we could make sure that everyone got exactly what they wanted. Our main server said that was doable. Unless they were bringing food to us, the servers were never in the back room. We had to go out and fetch them. The first time this happened, I tried to give my order to a server who wasn’t our main server, and she was very confused. Our main server told us that to avoid confusion because of our special ordering system, we should only give our orders to him. That was fine with me. The issue that arose after was that there were a few orders that were brought to us (not by him) that were given to the wrong side of the table. I guess that giving the orders only to him didn’t completely eliminate the confusion he tried to eliminate.
An awkward thing was how they sometimes placed our orders onto the table. Our group ordered a large number of rolls, and they all came on one plate. No issues there. The waitress had to serve it with both hands. No issues there. She didn’t say excuse me and tried to serve it over my head. What I mean is that she was directly over me and placed her hands above my head and lowered down the plate, bumping into my head in the process. Um… yeah. Not cool.
Food:
Mostly standard. Steak rolls with mushrooms stood out as a highlight. Lots of enoki mushroom. Tender enough for me to chew on even though I don’t have use of my molars right now. Mackarel was bone-​in, and served whole. Bitter towards the gut area. Lemon chicken nuggets looked like frozen chicken nuggets with a tiny bit of sauce. Steak (cubes and terriyaki) were tough (not just for me, but for my group). Seafood udon had next to no seafood (we found half a shrimp?). Tempura was standard, but in a good way. Rolls were decent. Silver menu has no sashimi or nigiri on it. Also no beef short ribs. Most things came in the amounts requested.
One big food issue we faced was that one member of my group ordered chicken pan fried udon. After we had received everything from our first order, it still hadn’t come, so we asked after it. We were told that it was a main dish, and that they served grilled items and rolls before they served mains, and that it was coming. Um… since when was there an enforced system as to what I can eat at any given time during AYCE? If I order my dessert at the beginning, are you going to give it to me at the end? After round 2, it still hadn’t come. We ended up asking after it about 4 times. Finally, it came. It was the last item to come, and it came right before dessert. We ordered 1. They gave us 1… on a really big plate. I’VE SEEN ENTREE SIZED PAN FRIED UDONS SMALLER THAN THIS. Yes, I know we’re a group of 10, but we specifically marked down a quantity of 1 for a reason. What a waste. The person who ordered it was technically not even a teenager yet. Female. She didn’t eat very much of it. Where is the rest? Garbage. Sigh.
We had a bit of a dessert mix-​up, where one of my dining companions got vanilla instead of mango ice cream, but it wasn’t the end of the world.
Final remarks:
Not a bad place for a cheap ayce, but don’t expect the service to be fantastic. Should I come again, I’ll ask not to be put in the back room, and ideally, with a smaller group, so we can sit at a booth.

My go-​to sushi place. Not out of preference, but pure proximity to my house.
Decent sushi
Somewhat pricey
Sashimi cut on the thin side
Freshness of fish is good
Will definitely order from them again, but due to the portion sizes and prices, will probably stop for all you can eat next time.

Very slow service. White tuna sashimi was yellow in colour. Beef sashimi was frozen. They bring out half of what you order and they take so long to bring it to you. Its their way to scam you to eat less. Quality of the meet was poor and the fish wasn’t fresh.

They had good food and good service too But the hygiene level around you looks a bit questionable. Definitely one must atleast try this place once.

Probably my #1 go-​to spot for sushi in North York. Very small, quaint and intimate atmosphere with friendly service. Prices are fairly reasonable given the hike under new management. Usually opt for the silver menu, especially the onion-​wrapped beef sirloin. Only qualm, like most AYCE restaurants, is they sometimes forget to bring all your food so I suggest ordering items at a fair pace.

This was a quiet location that was hidden in a plaza that cannot be seen from Shepard. However everything about this place was nice. There were a number of good things about the food being served. Things were fresh and they were made to order. I especially enjoyed the mango roll and dynamite roll. I plan on coming back for some more all you can eat sushi.
However be warned. It is more expensive on Friday and the weekends. After tax was $ 25 on a Friday lunch.

The food is like any other all you can east sushi place it’s clean and small, the waiter is very rude and blunt he sneezed into his hand 3 times right on the floor !! He brought our food and not even once asked if everything was ok, and didn’t even bring everything we ordered ! And when we asked to order dessert he was giving us attitude on how we ordered and it took them like 10 min to bring the ice cream ! He was just standing in front of the sushi chef table. There is absolutely no customer service quality here if you are looking to come to a restaurant and pay to get annoyed defiantly try here !!

Would actually be a 3.5 stars if that was possible. Got the gold menu since we want the sashimi and extra stuff. Service was fast and servers were nice. Nice décor and place was well cleaned. It was the food that knocked that 1.5 stars off. Ordered some kalbi which a dog wouldn’t even eat (chewy). Sashimi was average. Sushi was good but I had to remove half of the rice from each piece. Wasibi was non existent, we took a pea size of Wasibi alone and there was no kick at all. Rolls were decent but kind of bland. Sun roll is a must try though. Overall a good place if you are in the area but don’t go out of your way to go here.

Please NEVER go here!
Honestly I heard good things about this place from my mom and her coworkers, but they were wrong. They did take-​out, so that’s probably why: the managers, the owners are the WORST I’ve ever encountered.
My mom and I did a walk-​in one day and I ordered some sushi and she ordered a soup. We like sharing, so I had a taste of hers and I almost spat it out. It was the most disgusting «Japanese» soup I’ve ever had. They used strong chicken stock instead of the classic shoyu, ruining the soup, the noodles were undercooked, and my mom was saying «no, it’s fine I can just eat it» but then had to stop halfway through.
I got up to tell the manager and, with him being rude and not taking it back, decides to start shouting at me and threaten to call the cops. I threaten him with calling Dine-​Safe since I have a feeling their kitchen is not up to code. That sets him off and he makes a massive rant and I pull my mom out of there. We were not paying to be treated like that, nor eat disgusting food that could make us sick.
Please save yourself money and go to a better Japanese restaurant where people actually respect you.

It’s a small restaurant near Fairview mall. But has good varieties of food at reasonable prices.

not good, prices raised. went to try the silver menu and they raised the price to $ 17. Meat dishes were dry and hard. Curry dishes too much rice.
if you happen to end up here then some few good things are:
tempura shrimp
dynamite roll
sirloin with enoki

Went to this place because it was cheaper than other all you can eat sushi places around me. They have two menus, premium menu and the cheaper one, we got the cheaper one and the food was really good. Obviously it wasn’t the highest quality but it was good for what it was. Also the servers are very nice and the food comes fast. Overall really good, definitely going back.

First time here! I was craving for Japanese food, but had no idea where to go. Driving around aimlessly for 20 minutes and I got extremely hungry. I remembered my friend had recommended this sushi restaurant not long ago, so I decided to give it a try.
After 10 minutes of deciding what to order, I ended up ordering the Assorted Sushi Set Lunch. And the apps (Miso soup and Seaweed Salad) came in less than 10 seconds! Bomb! Next! The hot, crispy shrimp tempura and yam tempura came within 2 minutes (thank goodness!) And the rest of the food came which included the sushi rolls and bean sprout stir fry. They didn’t have a website, so I decided to take a picture of every menu they owned! :P
Everything tasted really good and the service is wonderfully friendly, I’ll be sure to come back here soon.
P. S. leave a good tip whenever you’re at a restaurant, especially if you enjoyed your experience! Servers make below minimum wage.

I was not at all disappointed, despite the questionable location, and interesting low-​brow clientèle on the day I was there, but neither was I blown away.
I chose the gold menu, which includes the sashimi and some additional premium items, and it all was passable, if just a notch below competitors like Yoshiko and Matsuda, etc. for the same price.
Sashimi was uneven and just OK, no issues, just not notable either.
Standout items were the handrolls and dynamite roll, etc. which were well balanced with very fresh, crisp nori wrappings.

Really nice ambience. Went for the silver menu.
The food was quick to come, but had to ask for soy sauce and tea couple of times, he kept of forgetting it. Spicy salmon Sushi was not as nice and the any roles with crispy tempura had a strong oil taste, which overwhelmed the salmon taste
Then steak, dragon role, mango maki was very good. I think the deep fried banana with chocolate was amazing, it’s a must eat here. So much better compare to a lot of other AYCE.
Overall, not as good as I expected based on other reviews.

I used to work at Fairview Mall for 3 years and frequently ate at Tekka Sushi. This place is in a small plaza in a neighbourhood across from Fairview Mall. My favorite here is the Sun Roll. I also really like the sushi pizzas which is surprising considering I never liked it before due to bad experience from other restaurants. The owner and staff are very friendly. I still eat here with my friends despite the distance because it’s hands down my favorite sushi restaurant in the GTA. Ps. If you come here Mon-​Thurs it’s $ 14.99 AYCE silver menu all day. Highly recommend! :)

As with most AYCE places, dishes are hit and miss. Stick to the fish selections, they are better than the meats.
Overall, ok. Service was attentive.

This sushi bar is right across from Fairview mall. I came across this restaurant when they had a groupon event and decided to try it out. I do not believe this place is opened by Japanese, but their sushi and sashimi were actually not bad. In fact, I was quite surprised with the negative reviews so far as I don’t think this place is as bad as others have indicated.
This sushi bar has a lot of fusion sushi rolls, guess it is to accommodate the western population that are living in the area. Their Eel with Cream Cheese actually surprised me and I enjoyed the combination.
The Tuna Tataki (Sashimi) was well done as well. Nicely seasoned and the outside layer was burnt to perfection to give you the rough edge texture, but at the same time, able to retain the freshness of the tuna on the inside.
