Pros — Most of the food is delicious.
Cons — Only one wine available from their list of 20, no plum wine, no bottles of sake… only hot sake available, no cocktails or mixed drinks… Did not bring out many of our dishes, when they were reminded, brought out 6 soups and salads for 4 people…2 too many for our group.
As you can gather the service is slow and disorganized… but the food is good, with some patience and friendly reminders you will EVENTUALLY get what you ordered. The restaurant was not busy, so unfortunately I could not even use that as an excuse for the disorganization.
I would have given only 2 stars, but I felt our server really was trying her best and that to me deserves an extra star. The drink issues were not her fault, but those who are responsible for stocking these items should be more involved in ensuring it is available.

I’ve been to a million AYCE sushi places. This is just another «doesn’t really stand out, but it’s not so bad» kind of place. You have your standard selection of items like tempura, salmon, white tuna etc. I’d say their selection is average. Sashimi is about as fresh as any other place. Service is non-​existent as expected from most Chinese owned places.
But…I’d still come here for sure when I have a craving and I’m in the area. I live nearby so there’s a fat chance I’m coming back.

This review is based on take out only.
2.5* (Didn’t want to slap on a 2 because I’ve only had the experience of take out)
Quick note on take out service: it was relatively easy to order over the phone and they had our order (around 36pc) ready within 20 – 30 minutes.
Now let’s jump into the food. For two people I got 18 pcs sweet potato (yam) tempura rolls, 6pcs dynamite roll, 6pcs chicken teriyaki roll, and 6pcs california roll. 36pcs when made properly should be more than enough for two people (who aren’t crazy hungry) and honestly we finished them off without any problems in one sitting.
It sucks to say, but I know exactly why we could eat them all without having to either cry about our bloated stomachs or take a very longgggg well deserved nap. Basically, it comes off really clear with the size of the sushi and the way it was prepared that they were trying to cut corners wherever it would be cheaper for them. Like I’m talking about them giving me the end of a yam roll which is really like ½ the sushi it should be and passing it off as a full piece. Also, with my dynamite roll, they only gave me the tail of the shrimp in one or two of the rolls (no shrimp in the ends at ALL) — I don’t know if they were expecting me to fish out the tail and eat the sushi without the shrimp or what??? Not cool. Lastly, this was beyond clear with them fitting 18pcs of yam tempura in ONE small container. They got smaller and smaller within the container so they could fit all 18pcs in one.
Now that that I’ve aired my grievances about the sushi itself, let’s talk about the price. $ 27 for 36pcs. I was struggling to figure out if this was a good deal or not but after comparing to the price of slightly better AYCE sushi for lunch ($ 13 – 15 depending on where) it doesn’t seem to be worth it. The only reason I’d come back here for take out is for the simple 6pcs cucumber rolls and such just because it’s around $ 3 for that.
I wanted to try out their AYCE but now I’m skeptical, perhaps the quality of the take out is misaligned with the AYCE. Maybe I went in on an off day. Or maybe the quality’s gone down over time. I’m not sure — but I am sure that take out isn’t worth it in my opinion.
Looking at this review, I honestly feel that 2.5 is generous but I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt that their AYCE and take out isn’t usually like this.

I am giving a 5-​star because I loved the food, presentation, and atmosphere. Yes, the service was slow but I will not fault the one girl who served all us lunch goers al by herself. She was courteous to us, gave us our food correctly.
We asked for another table since the booth couldn’t fit the baby car seat. Yes, no judgment on my guest. People need to get out of the house once in a while. The girl obliged without any problem.
Now food, we got red and green dragon rolls. They were delicious. The spicy tuna was yummy, the only thing we thought was a hassle: the seaweed salad. It was served in a tiny bowl like the size of a table spoon. Could have given bigger portion but it is okay because you can always order more and we did.
Ice cream in the end is a must!

The best eatery around Steeles and Bathurst area… Very tasty and fresh food!
Always I go for all you can eat… Lot of stuff to enjoy — the Sushis, the Makis, the Rolls, Sushi Pizzas… and lots more!
Personally, my favorite is hot Sake rice wine and fried Salmon heads… simply mouth watering ;-)

The food is fresh, sushi roll is very good, and lots of choice, waiter and waitress are very friendly, I will come again next time.
