Fushimi

I do not go on these rating sites very often and when I do it is to warm people to not waste their money. This posting is no exception. Fushimi sushi is one of the worst places to eat. I list the following reasons:
1) Filthy washrooms. The stalls are mixed gender use in one room. None of the sliding doors lock because the locks are broken. I check all stalls and each one had either piss on the toilet seat, unflushed shit, and the last one had blood in the toilet bowl and on the floor. I can only imagine what the chef is doing in there when takes his washroom break !
2) The service sucks. You will need to be persistent and patient.
3) The food sucks too. Overpriced. Over sauced. Only for people with blunt palletes or the very hungry.
Go at your own risk.

I loooove Fushimi! AYCE (dinner) is worth it no matter what meal it is. I really like the walnut shrimp; which isn’t part of the lunch menu among other things, and many of their rolls. I’m docking a star for it not always being consistent with food (quality and quantity) and service isn’t always great but its not like you’re there for anything but food when you go for AYCE.

Oh man, the emoji with the heart eyes perfectly describes my reaction to Fushimi.
It is a bit expensive ($ 28 for ayce dinner on a weekday), but it was so good.
Think seared. Think sauces.
Everything they set down was amazing.
The salmon was delicious. I enjoyed every type of sushi we ordered. I can’t give examples. I can’t remember. Just know, whatever you order, they won’t steer you wrong.
Even the grilled food was on fleek.
No wonder this place was packed!
Definitely the best AYCE sushi I’ve had in Toronto thus far.

Lunch menu for $ 10 with free ice cream. The maki rolls have decent amount of fish (meat) in them. Good quality food and well priced. Will be back

I can’t complain about the food. It tasted good.
However the service was very very bad.
The restaurant wasn’t even busy when we were there and the server took forever to get our little all you can eat sheet with our order. Then when we had written down the order the third and last time, we waited forever for one of them to get it– we finally say excuse me– the server takes our order and I thought the food would come.
25 minutes go by. Finally we ask. What happened? They were completely clueless– almost as if they took the paper and threw it out.
Finally the food came. We put steak. They simply ignored this completely.
Also the sheet system for the all you eat is so old school.
Usually if the place has the paper, they have all the options on the sheet and you just add numbers. HERE we had to get the item number for each one like write down I 176 or I 156 and then the quantity. WAY TO MUCH WORK.
So never going there again– there’s a million sushi places that don’t treat you like this.

This sushi spot is great! I came here with a friend and it was a great time. We left feeling 100% satisfied and full. There all you can option is the way to go. I loved loved loved the tapanyaki and sweet potato tempura :) such good flavour! service was fast for a busy night. The interior is a fun lively atmosphere perfect for a night out:)

Worth the price? — Yes.
This is an All-​you-​can-​eat Sushi so we did not expect much from it, turned out surprisingly good for the food quality and variety, we liked the weekend special menu.
I strongly recommend calling them in advance so you can get seated shortly.

I have been here many times and you can’t beat the all you can eat for $ 28! It’s located just down the street from me (dangerous!) and it’s a nicely laid out restaurant, clean, great food and has fast and friendly service. I even brought my parents here when they were visiting from Australia and they loved it!
Highly recommended :)

I love sushi. More, I love all you can eat sushi. A couple friends and I went here; I wasn’t gonna get all you can eat but after my friends started discussion their plan of action, I couldn’t resist.
I’m not going to list all of the things I ate because, well, I don’t want to bore you. We ordered a ton of food and it all came out pretty quickly. Generally the sushi was good. Not the best I’ve had, not the worst. If I was rating just the food, I’d give it about 3 stars.
What brings us down to 2 is the service. We waited for a table for 3 for about 10 minutes when there were clearly several tables available. Maybe they were too busy and the kitchen couldn’t keep up? Yeah, maybe, but they could have communicated that instead of just making us wait. Finally we were sat at a table closest to the kitchen, beside the area where the servers drop off their jackets and bags and things. There were other tables available, but for whatever reason, we were put here… felt like we were just being put out of the way.
The service began by my friend asking if they had papaya juice. The server scrunched her face, said «no,» and walked away. Ok… we would have ordered a different juice, or anything for that matter, but we were left with our waters. Fine. This trend seemed to continue — every request we had was met with an eye roll, as though we were inconveniencing them. I would admit if we were being difficult, but I swear our only crime was ordering udon noodles which we didn’t like, and leaving them there on the table when we went to pay. You’re supposed to pay for dishes you dint finish but we weren’t going to try to communicate that at this point.
Too bad. Just a smile or some common courtesy could have turned the whole experience around.

When you have killed prices, amazing staff, great selection, nice friendly ambience, and good food, I can’t help but to give 5 stars.
First night in Toronto we stop here for dinner and the place is packed! And stayed packed until closing, after a 15 minute wait we were seated and admittedly a little confused by the process. You have full access to the entire menu, specials and all minus drinks, and you are given a note pad where you put your order (by number and how many servings). Each time they take this paper you are given a new one.
To be an AYCE sushi place I wasn’t expecting phenomenal quality but still the food was really good, didn’t get any sashimi so can’t comment on that freshness and quality but the food we did have was super tasty!
My friend loved her salmon tartare, didn’t try any because I don’t like salmon. The crispy tuna was amazing! And the eel and avocado roll we had was great as well. Other rolls (tuna hand roll, spicy crab, and some salmon thing) were really good nothing to brag but have nothing bad to say. The Karage and katsu were so crunchy and delicious. Mussels sooo good, and everything else (ramen, shrimp yakitori, udon, and gyoza) were standard good dishes. The Red bean ice cream was great tasted like strawberry with beans and the black sesame pudding was good too. Black sesame ice cream I didn’t care for not because it was a bad dessert it was was very very nutty lol not my thing.
The portion sizes is great as well because it kinda keeps you from over eating. With all the food and mango alcoholic drinks we spent around $ 30 US a piece so around $ 40 CAD. Pretty great in my opinion. Staff was nice including the manager who served us a few times and the crowd was varied and laid back.

Only tried the AYCE menu here — 22.99 on weekdays and 25.99 on weekends. It’s the only AYCE downtown that I go to and was introduced to it by some good friends who only eat sushi here. I find it reasonably priced considering the variety of sushi, sashimi, apps and other signature dishes.
Must try:
Walnut shrimp
Pepper salmon
Truffle white tuna
Any of the sashimi — it’s served over ice which is a nice touch
Short ribs
I love eel so anything with eel!
On weekends this place is packed! On weekdays it’s not so bad but you miss out on some of their weekend specials. Service depends on how busy they are but they try to be as quick as possible. It’s good for big groups as well.

Probably one of the better AYCE sushi restaurants in downtown TO! I’ve been in search for a good AYCE sushi place forever (ever since Aji Sai’s quality gone down). I finally got the chance to try out Fushimi and it was decent. Thankfully, it’s only within a 5 min walk from where I live, makes it all the better (why is it all these good food places so close to me?!)
First, pro-​tip: don’t forget to make a reso! We did so and when we arrived we were able to bypass a long line (it was on a Saturday afternoon). Not only we felt like VIPs, we were also able to get seated at one of the nicest booths, far faaaar away from the entrance (it was a cold day)
In terms of the food, we loved the kitchen menu! Huge selection that includes chicken karaage, steak yakitori, various tempura options, Udons, scallop fried rice and black sesame pudding. For all you black sesame fans, don’t miss trying out this delicious pudding with their red bean ice cream. Absolutely magical combination!
Now, the sushi. We weren’t really big fans of the sushi. We tried their special ‘out of control’ roll and it was really strange. They had asparagus in it: S We also tried the red dragon roll and spicy salmon roll, and they were all really hard to eat. They were all really dry, unfortunately.
I would certainly come back for the kitchen menu (and the black sesame pudding!) — they were certainly worth the price. Plus, with an awesome service, I will definitely be recommending this place to others.

One of the best AYCE’s I’ve ever had — and I’ve been to at least 20 different ones all over the GTA/​downtown/​London.
The sashimi was served freshly on ice (see in my pic below). Not only was the fish/​sushi on point, but the rest of food was hot and fresh as well. They offered a variety of unique dishes and the service was prompt too. And just look at the presentation of the food — I know of no other AYCE that does it this well.
It’s a bit of a distance from the downtown core, but I’d make the trek again!

I posted the pictures of the menu because they have some unique, delicious AYCE options that you don’t see at other AYCE sushi places.
This place received five stars because the quality of the food, presentation and the various unique food options makes this place a must try.
I loved salmon tartare, seafood salad and the coconut shrimp along with the sashimis.
My only recommendation for the business would be to use smaller bowls and plates as it makes very difficult to eat when you are at a two person table.

I’ve been to quite a few AYCE places before. I’ve got to say, this is definitely one of the top ones I’ve been to. You usually do not expect this kind of quality at an AYCE place either. At a price of $ 15.99 for lunch on Christmas, this was definitely a surprise, though not too much of a surprise, since I checked the Unilocal ratings beforehand ;) Here are a couple things that really stood out to me:
1) Sushi: fish to rice ratio was very good. My brother, who is my food connoisseur, was impressed with how the fish can droop over the piece of rice and touch the plate, as it should be for proper sushi according to him. The fish was also very flavourful and fresh.
2) Sushi rolls: There was good variety and about 3 – 4 unique rolls. What made me happy was that the rolls came out warm and not cold. There was also a good amount of stuff in the middle and only a thin layer of rice. The only roll I wasn’t a big fan of was the Calamari roll, which was too big and fell apart while being picked up. The mango sauce was also a strange accompaniment to the squid.
3) Ramen was quality ramen. Usually at AYCE, you order ramen and you get some flimsy noodles with a mediocre amount of seafood/​meat, maybe some lettuce, all served to you in some watery soup. Not at Fushimi. This is the same kind of ramen you could expect from an actual ramen store, with bamboo shoots and half an egg included! My only regret is that I was too full from everything else to order more.
As someone who’s from uptown, I don’t venture downtown to eat too often. I might have to make an exception for this next time I want to have some really good AYCE.

Not bad, not bad. A little bit steep with the $ 14.99 ayce lunch since nearby competitors only cost about $ 12.99 but the overall value was satisfying.
Although they do a wonderful job with plating and making their dishes look fancy, I must say I have an issue with the SIZE of their plates in comparison to the size of their tables. As a party of 6, I felt like we were constantly rushed to eat everything because we had nowhere to put the oncoming dishes. Granted, service was fairly fast because we had just arrived when the «business worker lunch rush» just ended at around 1:30pm.
That aside, the food was pretty good. I’m always skeptical of ordering sushi because of nonproportional sashimi to rice ratios but they did a pretty good job of keeping the system fair and not trying to exploit us by stuffing us with rice. The cooked foods were also alright, the teriyaki calamari was quite tender. There’s nothing spectacular about this place that I would want to mention but nothing that I would warn against either.
So would I come back? Maybe. I wouldn’t crave for it but I wouldn’t be opposed to it either.

All I have to say is WOWWWWW!!!
I tried this place last night with a friend who lives nearby. He had really wanted to try it and we were both pretty hungry. We checked out some photos of the food on Unilocal before heading over. We couldn’t believe some of the things we saw!
Usually all you can eat sushi is the same old standard stuff and quality and presentation isn’t always the best.
Fushimi really blew us out of the park. The first couple pages of the menu were chef’s selection and specialty things. Usually I’m a picky eater but I surprisingly was down for a whole bunch of them so we started off with those! SO GOOD!
They had an awesome roll wrapped in cucumber, tuna tartar, walnut shrimp and truffle tuna. All unreal!
Some of my other favorite things on the menu were the spicy crab salad and the spicy tuna hand roll which was filled to the brim with a ton of fish. I kept ordering those things over and over!
The staff were really friendly but one star off for them taking long to take our next order at times but hey maybe they didn’t think we were ordering more considering how much we had ordered in the first place!
I’ll be back :)

First, the service is really not great. At all. They will ignore you for ages. Even though you were seated and haven’t ordered yet. Then they will bring you the wrong things. They will bring you rolls and tereyaki before sashimi or tempura or other apps. And the images of special rolls on the menu, some of them differ from what the roll looks like in real life???
Second, the rolls were alright. A bit too much rice and unevenness in the sizes of the pieces. I might be nitpicking now.
The rest of the food (non-​sushi) was also just okay. We didn’t actually do AYCE because part of our group didn’t want to (and your whole group needs to do one or the other). The prices were okay considering we hadn’t done AYCE. But I feel like there are better options within walking distance that this place does not need to be frequented by me.
It also seems like they are open to dine and dash? We asked for the bill. It came, separated like requested, half an hour later. No mention of weather they will come to the table or we should go to the desk. So another 20 mins go by before we are told that we should go up to the front. This sort of stuff is really a turn off. Especially considering they weren’t really busy. Definitely did not make a fan out of me.

I went here for à la carte and was disappointed. The food was only so-​so and they served us brown lettuce, which I couldn’t appreciate as it’s not hard to remove a brown piece. The service was horrendous when we arrived. We (there were two of us) were told we couldn’t sit at a particular table because it was for groups. Two minutes later, the waitress sat an individual dinner there. We ordered tea, but they only brought one and then forgot about the second. The servers did not check-​in with us and would dump our plates on the table and run before we could say anything. It was still before the dinner rush, so I’m not sure why they couldn’t have offered better service throughout the meal.
For the first time in my life I was tempted to not leave a tip. Luckily two of the four servers were nice, so I felt compelled. I’m not likely to return.

Awesome AYCE sushi, 5 stars!
The thing that impressed me the most is their presentation of the food, because rarely do you see an AYCE establishment making much effort to make the food look appetizing. I’ve been to too many sushi buffets where they simply put the food onto a plate and just serve it to you. My group couldn’t stop taking pictures of everything they serve to us. Some of my friends thought we went to a high-​end establishment when they saw my pictures on FB lol.
The price is pretty cheap for an AYCE sushi restaurant in downtown, only $ 22.99 per person for weekday dinner, especially for the quality of food. The location is very convenient to get to as well, less than 5 minutes walk from Wellesley station. The store front looks small but when you get inside the space is actually larger than it seemed.
The first two pages of their specials and chef recommendations are worth trying. I liked the salmon/​tuna tartar (looks great in photos), walnut shrimp, pepper salmon, truffle white tuna, and shrimp skewer. Their sashimi were very good too, and they were served over ice, another nice touch that you don’t see at other AYCE places. You get a thick cut of the piece of fish and for the fish eggs they serve them on a piece a cucumber, which made the taste come out more.
I had a great time with my friends at Fushimi: the food was great, the presentation was beautiful, the noise level was decent, and the price was inexpensive for a night out.
