Uoshiki Sushi

Great place for cheap average sushi. If you’re looking for a high quality and exceptional meal you’re better off looking elsewhere. The service is slow at best, and the waiters don’t drop by the table enough. When I went in around 8pm on a Saturday night the place was practically empty. I’d imagined it be a lot more busy, maybe they focus more on takeout than sit-​ins. But the restaurant is somewhat nicely decorated, and best of all it’s a good cheap price for normal sushi.
I’ve ordered their take out before and while the delivery is amazing fast, they like to tack on a lot of small additional expenses which to «boost» their profit.

— Cheap and filling Bento Boxes
— Wide AYCE selection for dinner
Dinner AYCE is $ 25 before tips and tax on Thursday. Their non-​sushi dishes are amazing. Their lightly cooked sashimi is amazing (idk what its called).

Actually if i get to pick, i wont even give this place a single star! I have been to lots and lots of ayce places, i am telling you this is the worst place i have ever been to. First of all, the place smells like bleach. Chairs are dirty, table is sticky! NONE of the sashimi and sushi are fresh. Tempura is gross. Miso soup has weird taste. Service is horrible, the servers are so rude! I kindly tell you my friends, dont waste your time and money in such disgusting restaurant. Please take my advice.

Just came back here again to grab some sushi! Easy sushi ordering with the iPad as usual.
I’ve made reservations via the phone, under my name. Due to my uncommon name, I actually spelt out my name because of how similar it may sound plus spellings of «Terry /​Terri»… But apparently it became a «Sherry» and some of the group who came in separately were confused with this.
I have to say, their food quality dropped — their takoyaki tasted so horrible this round. Sushi rolls were dry, noting from the spicy salmon or spicy crabmeat sushi rolls.
Portions of food were bad. We ordered 2 orders of Seafood Fried Rice and got this (see picture). We were also given less than we asked for. Not unusual in a Japanese AYCE setting but it was pretty distinctive this time. But for a group of 7 – 8 people, we ordered about 20 – 25 salmon sashimi pieces but only got around 10.
The oysters with house sauce was still good — probably my fave part of the meal.
Their dessert was a problem as well… They were missing half the items we wanted because they «ran out». With an iPad, won’t updating be easier to cancel off the app? Not sure how that app works, but either way… They can still notify us when they checked our order or in the beginning when we came in. So half of what we ordered for dessert wasn’t available — which led to a disappointment as I got excited to eat the chocolate mousse cake. It is also not the first time they «ran out» of something from the dessert menu.
Service was slightly slow because the waitresses don’t pay attention to you that much. They’re either talking to each other or cleaning (??) of sorts. Having to make eye contact to get their attention is hard. Even when I’ve raised my hands quite a bit… They somehow just don’t notice.
So, I’m not impressed at either of food or the service this round. Might be time to hunt for another close-​by AYCE Japanese sushi place.

We, party of 4, came here for dinner. Glad this place is AYCE and the 15% discount offered here through WeChat. My wife made a 7 pm reservation to this joint. When we got here they said there’s no table and told us to wait for 30 minutes. What the hell did they our reservations for?! Meanwhile there’s two long table that can seat approximately 12 ppl were empty. I ask nicely if you can split the table. The waitress said no! She didn’t even ask the manager. I said to her get the manager for me. When the manager came we explained our situation. The manager split the long table for us to seat.
Finally seated, the waitress brought an iPad over. You order food on the device, therefore whatever you order should arrive on your table. Say you order 12 salmon sashimi, you suppose to get 12. But no, I got 8. I ordered 4 flounder teriyaki, I got 2. I ordered 4 salmon roses, I got 2. This place is all lies and no consistency. The table next to us seated 2, they got 8 oysters (which was limited to 2 pieces per person for the whole night). We got 8 oysters and we have party of 4. There consistency sucks! Oh by the way, they don’t clear your empty plates. Their excuse was «oh we are busy». That is no excuse.
The food wise is meh. This place cannot compare to Ten Ichi, it is like night and day!
With all of my review, I always ask will we come back to this restaurant? Flat out NO!

Not bad, not bad.
It’s not too cheap but the prices are still reasonable. I come here when I crave the rolls or the unagi don. I’ve been here for at least 5 times now. 3 times were AYCE. AYCE is ok. There are much better AYCE locations elsewhere but I come here becaus it’s close. The non AYCE was good. I actually prefer the non AYCE. I got that one sushi combo to eat at their restaurant, and another set of the same combo for takeout. They were good.

The food is great and the service is nice. On top of that you get 10% off by paying cash.

Came for lunch on Good Friday. They still serve their lunch specials. I like places that serve their lunch specials regardless of what day it is. The restaurant can be slightly cramped (not much space between our chairs and the chairs of the table behind us). Oh. They did do separate bills for each of us (party of 8). One other thing is that they do give a 10% discount if you pay cash.
Had:
Chicken teriyaki bento ($ 7.99) — comes with miso soup and salad, six pieces of California roll, two shrimp and five pieces of vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, and rice. It’s a very good amount of food for that price. The miso soup was standard. The salad was a tad watery (please dry your lettuce before trying to add dressing to it). The tempura was crispy and the vegetable pieces were large. The chicken was tender and there was a good portion of it. The California roll was quite fresh, although the pieces weren’t all uniform. I have no idea what the rice taste like. My brother and I ordered the same menu item, and didn’t ask for any substitutions, but his had rice and 6 pieces of California roll. I had no rice and ten pieces of California roll. Two other people in our party ordered the same thing we did, and the same thing happened to them. One of them had rice, and the other had four pieces of California roll instead of rice. I have no problems with that, because I prefer the rolls, but there’s some kind of consistency issue going on there.
Oh right. It also comes with dessert. Dessert is a small scoop of ice cream (green tea, vanilla, mango, or red bean). When I say small, think a round tablespoon, but as a scoop. Perhaps a tad larger than that. It was a tad stingy, but it took care of the sweet tooth cravings.
All in all, a very good meal for value. I’ll be back.

The lunch menu is affordable and comes in a good portion, would recommend the chicken teriyaki!

Went to this place for the AYCE lunch menu. i had previously been here before for an a la carte, and it was not a good experience. However after hearing some comment on the improvements i decided to give it another shot. The lunch menu we had ordered quite a bit, and i have to say it is a mixed bag at best.
The sushi portion, the Salmon tartar, and the dragon on fire specialty roll were both highlights and good. i would definitely recommend the dragon on fire roasted roll. However the rest of the sushi, has left much to be desired. the problem with the rest of the sushi was that it was simply not fresh, the red snapper we did not even dare to eat it because the colour had tinges of green on the fish. which screams not fresh at all. The only two reason are either they are serving the leftover fish from the night before, or this place in general has fish that is not fresh. Because of al the sushi we ordered, a large portion of the sushi, contain fish that just taste like it was left over for a while.
The Cooked food portion was however much better, the flounder teppanyaki was very good, they did a great job with it, and the tempura was decent, the grilled eggplant was very nice. Overall the cooked food portion most of the food was done properly and was either average or slightly above average.
The desert did contain all the usual selections, however the Mango pudding was definitely not good at all as there was no taste. the yogurt was decent however, and the fruits they served was fresh.
The service was definitely a huge weakpoint for them. even though it is an ipad ordering restuarant, the services seem to purposely not collect empty plates, as if to discourage you from ordering more, because you might have no room.
Overall with so a mixed bag of good and bad the best i can give it 3 stars, and would not recommend people to go out of their way to come here. if you live in the area then it would make more sense, since there aren’t a lot of Japanaese AYCE in the area.

Decent for an AYCE sushi restaurant. They have pieces that aren’t available elsewhere (dragon on fire roll, spicy salmon tower) and they have daily specials (uni shooter, fresh oysters, crab legs) which is nice. I only go when my mom and brother wants to binge on sushi (better than Ten-​Ichi) but other than that, I would not return especially since I don’t even get my money worth at AYCE.

Our group had a wicked craving for sushi. We were drawn to them for their sweet shrimp and octopus sashimi. Items that not all AYCE sushi places have. Also, for their raw oysters.
I don’t even really know where to start. From beginning to end, this place was a disaster. From food, to service. it was a huge disappointment.
We came around 5:30pm, so it was not busy. Still, the service was bad. The waitresses were rude. They handed us the iPad so we could make our orders and did not explain anything to us. So, unknowingly, we ordered a few more of the special items than were allowed. She said «is it your first time here? there is a limit of 2 per customer for these special items». Okay, well yes, it IS our first time here. Maybe you should have let us know before being rude about it?
The food starting coming in. The pictures on the iPad looked delicious and amazing. What came to our table was nothing like what was shown in the pictures. The tataki for some reason looked like it was all put into a platter and then microwaved. The beef was grey, and the tuna was completely cooked through.
The seafood soup came and there was only 2 pieces of shrimp in it with a whole bunch of mushrooms and seaweed. Not what it looked like in the pic.
The sashimi was only okay, it was a little bit closer to room temp and unappealing.
My sister and I ordered the uni shooter as one of our special items. It came in a little cup with what looked like a raw quail egg yolk. This thing was floating in a bunch of vinegar, and that’s all you can taste. I wonder why they had to serve this in vinegar? (most likely to mask the lack of freshness???) The oysters were only okay.
We had had enough of the main dishes so we decided to get dessert and get out of there. The mango yogurts we ordered weren’t even solidified! They were just liquid. like milk. It IS okay to let your customers know if you don’t have something available. I would have rather them tell me they weren’t ready yet, than to serve something so disgusting. Also, a few of them came in a cracked glass shooter glass. We did not touch those. Also, the servers did not even give us spoons. We had to ask for them. hahaha maybe she knew they were completely liquid, and that is why she did not offer us spoons?
The one highlight of the meal was the tempura banana. That was pretty good.
They did offer 10% discount if paying by cash. But a lot of places do, so that is not a draw. Also, the prices are pretty high, $ 26.99 for bad food.
Well, if you’re looking for mediocre Japanese food and subpar service (the server basically tossed the food onto our table, and didn’t take away our emptied dishes) then this is the place for you.

Pro — fancier sashimi options (sweet shrimp, octopus, uni, snow crab, oyster). Servers were very friendly.
Cons — food did not taste that fresh. Restaurant felt sticky and dirty through out. Was very worried in the restroom when I saw a sign for «do not stand on the toilet».

15% cash discount for AYCE. Nice décor, decent selection and «somewhat fast» service.
Every order placed through the iPad requires a server to confirm it at the table. But that took quite a while on several occasions. Once confirmed, the items arrived quickly.
Sashimi slices were awkwardly thin (unlike other Sushi places). Not to say that you’ll get less at the end of the day, because you can always order more. Just weird.
Presentation of the rolls were also disappointing, loose and sloppy, but this is an all-​you-​can-​eat place after all.
At the end of the day, if you’re after quantity this is the place. No missed orders and food arrived fairly quickly. But if your after quality and presentation, than try somewhere else.

This is the most tasteless noodles I ever had…
The soup base tastes like water *not exaggerating*. I mean if the instant noodles I make at home are better tasting than this I dont see the point of you guys putting noodles on your menu LOL

Came here in the winter for all you can eat dinner and it was not bad, they had fresh raw oysters and plenty of sashimi options.
However I came here on the weekend for lunch and it was not the same at all. The ipad system like other sushi restaurants now a day is good love that you can keep track of all the items order, but the ipad just didn’t feel clean enough and a bit sticky (yuck!)
The rice on the sushi and rolls were also warm and just didn’t taste all that great. their mango salad is literally just chopped up mangos with tempura bits. Their salmon nacho thing — was also just a very very tiny blob of chopped fish on 1 pringle chip. Their specials rolls and spicy salmon sushi was not that bad though if I had to pick something to eat again there. For dessert the fried bananas were good but avoid the strawberry yogurt — it was sickeningly artificial like eating slightly berry flavoured chemicals.
The wait staff was your regular no expression waitresses, the manager didn’t seem to want to do anything when we asked her for something she always scolded at the waitress to come over at times loudly.

Have the lunch special
Avoid the ayce. Thin slice of fish too much rice.
They do have a dimsum option which is cool

Came here for lunch and I have to say I was plesantly surprised. I ordered the kalbi bento box for $ 8.99. Comes with miso soup, salad as appetizers and ice cream for dessert. The bento box came with 6 piece avacodo sushi, tempura veggies and shrimp, white rice and a really good portion of kalbi. I didn’t think that a simple bento box would fill me but it did. Everything tasted good and I have no complaints like I usually do.
The restaurant itself is very spacious and most people there had the AYCE option using ipads. Did they ever invest alot in those ipads. There was like a whole pile of 20 or so ipads. Service was pretty decent and the place was clean.
This one gets extra points for the great options that are available for the lunch menu. You can get ramen, sushi rolls, stone pot rice, bento boxes and even AYCE. It also gets exta points for the great value. $ 8.99 for all that I ate is a sweet deal in my books.

This is my new fav AYCE, the iPad ordering system is very clear. The pictures are very good! I can keep track of what I ordered and what I like. They never missed one item that I ordered.
The waitress/​waiter comes around very quickly and often and always clearing out the empty dishes
The specials we had was the fresh oyster and uni shooters, the oysters was delicious and fresh, the uni was really nice and big and fresh (too bad it’s limited to 2 per person)
The rest of the food was good, there wasn’t an item we did not like or did not want to finish. I don’t understand why people complain about portions being small /​it’s 1pc per order. I love the fact that it’s small and 1pc per order, that way we never over ordered /​had anything left (I hate wasting food) it’s all you can eat! If you know it’s 1pc and you want 10pcs of it then just order more, what’s the problem? It’s just a press of the button.
The desserts are good, they taste like other desserts I have been to at AYCE places, the banana tempura is big and delicious and perfect w/​the ice cream together.
I have been back and I would come back here again because there is a lot of variety, even some thai and dim sum dishes! And the sweet shrimp sashimi was unlimited. Actually, I can’t wait to come back!

Uoshiki started off by losing our large group reservation that was booked a week ago. Awesome. Told us to break off into smaller groups to sit. Hell no. After much confusion, we finally got seated.
Food is not bad for AYCE, but still not the best in the GTA. Service is friendly and courteous. Price is okay (cost me $ 28 after tax and tips on a Friday night). Canned beverage do cost extra though.
Interestingly, we can order food through an iPad. I like the techy idea. It is user-​friendly, easy to track items, and has nice visuals and clear description of each item. It definitely saves a lot of time. Wrong. It cancels out when it took so dang long to flag the waiter down. The order doesn’t automatically go to the kitchen when you send it off through the iPad. Waiter needs to come and do it manually.
One thing to note is that there are limitations on how many «special» appetizers you can order per person. Items include: (1) 2pcs raw oysters, (2) uni shooter, (3) tofu topped with scallop, and (4) 3pcs cold crab legs. Adults can order 2 of the 4 items. Seniors can only order 1 of the 4 items. Odd rule.
The highlight of the whole meal — Deep fried bananas with chocolate sauce. Other than that, you can pretty much skip the entire dessert menu. Usually dessert excites me and it is the one thing I look forward to at AYCE. I’m not impressed with this one.
Overall, 2.5 stars. Will I come back for AYCE again? No. For cheap lunch specials? Yes.
