Shitake Sushi & Thai

This place was definitely not what I expected. After reading several reviews, I walked in thinking the food would be worth the money. However, the food wasn’t as great as I thought it be. The maki rolls were pretty good and came in small portions which was nice for those who get full easily. Their non sushi items weren’t too great though. Their mango chicken was very chewy and had an odd taste. Their general Tao chicken had lots of fatty pieces and was covered in too much cornstarch. One thing I did love though was the shrimp tempura. It was so crisp and tasted great. Food again wasn’t as great as I thought it would be.
The service on the other hand was not that bad. I agree with other reviews that the servers usually come by far and put the plates on the table and run off without even talking to you. They were nice though and I personally didn’t have a problem with them. Overall I don’t think I’ll be back here.

We went there for lunch at 2:30pm. This is an all you can eat place. The service was atrocious! We arrived and the waiter gave us a long speech about how if we over order they will charge us. I understand that they dont want people to over in excess because its wasteful, but he couldve been nicer. Then the sushi comes to the table and its filled with panko bread. There is more panko bread than fish. It was disgusting! I guess they are trying to have their customers fill up with panko bread and rice. I am not from this area, maybe the restaurant is struggling. I will never come back again.

This is a very roomy ayce mix asian food restaurant. We went on a Sunday night and it was not too busy. Ordering food is nice and quick with their ipad menu and all of our orders came out; some ayce places tends to leave your half your orders. The restaurant is clean and the services was on par. I like that this restaurant have a good mix of sushi, chinese, and thai food so it caters to everyone. A tad bit pricier but imo well worth it.

I was very disappointed about practically everything. When it comes to going out for dinner, of course it is important to be patient when busy and waiting for food, but considering we were the ONLY people in the restaurant, it took 25 minutes to recieve THREE sushi rolls, where one was made completely wrong. Shortly after us came another couple whose food was coming to them in the blink of an eye, while we were sitting 25 minutes with zilch. One of the items we received sat on the counter for almost ten minutes and I was ready to go get it myself to bring to our table. This is where I slowly started losing my patience. The food was nothing great, their yummy tuna roll was phenomenal and the only good thing to come out of this experience. I would understand if it was busy and the chefs were busy making all these different meals and the servers were running table to table, but there were a total of four people in the entire restaurant. The service was terrible and it truly turned me off from all you can eat sushi. First and definitely last.

It’s different that other the sushi places. they got a very good Lam on weekends, Love the food…

As all the ayce the food here is alright, above average. But the service and the little detail they put on garnish really moved me. And the coffee jelly is just something I been looking for the whole time.

All you can eat sushi, the food was decent, the services were good and quick. Just one waitress was really strict with the eating rule. The first plate she took away, my table and I got scolded for the one salmon sushi that I ate but threw the rice behind. She had gave our table a warning and quite embarrassed us.
In the end our table couldn’t finish two full dishes but the manager was fine with throwing it away for us with no extra charges.

This was one of the most horrible experiences I have ever had. 1.) our servers were on the rude side 2.) it was an hour until closing time when we got to the restaurant and when we ordered our food two severs just stood by and watched us eat and as soon as we finished a plate they picked it up and put it away. It may not sound bad but they were rushing us, it was irritating! 3.) the General Tao chicken made my boyfriend throw up in the bathroom! 4.) some food items were cold. Finally, I witnessed our server turn away customers ½ hour before closing. Why say you close at 10:30 pm. and not serve people? They had no regards for their customers feelings and it was irritating. There was nothing good about this restaurant or our experience. I will never go back there again.

Location: 4401 Highway 7 W Vaughan, ON L4L
Price: $$$
Service: BOO (thumbs sideways)
I visited a couple of time and I’m not impressed. I am all about the costumer service and the visit today was disappointing. We were seated and there was a big sticky stain on the table, so I told the server and he stated in a crude tone that it was just water and I should just wipe it off. However, it was actually dirty and I once again told him that, and he rudely said to me «this is the only table we have…» Honestly, I was not being a difficult customer, I only inform him so he can send a wet towel my way to clean it up. SOOOO ain’t nobody want your rude attitude SIR!
ANYWAYS on to the food.
I feel like Shitake is a very generic AYCES place. Their sushi is decent, and they have a relatively large selection of other items (from dimsum to soups to crispy deep fried foods). They’re sashimi selection was small, they had the typical sashimi like salmon, tuna, surf clam (to name a few). Overall, there are better place for AYCES around Vaughan. The one thing that makes this place very intriguing is the special during dinner, they offer lamb chops per person. If you like lamb chop, you will be pleasantly surprised. They also offer bubble tea as well, which I had and it’s okay.
The atmosphere of the restaurant is very modern and lounge like. It is also innovate, since customers are able to oder the food items on an iPad. The orders came out very fast as well.
Verdict: lost a star for the rude service. BYE

I’m not one to complain about service, but feel I must here. This iPad menu gimmick seems cool but makes it so impersonal that the staff just simply ignore you. Dump the dishes in your plate and rush off. Walk by you without even looking at you. I simply wanted some water and wasabi and ginger to go with my sushi. Ten minutes later and I can’t even get there attention. Food is crap as well. I left and walked across to Holy Chuck.

My family and I have come here on multiple occasions from family day to birthdays to regular dinners out. This place has never disappointed us for AYCE sushi. The owner is very friendly as are the servers. The place looks very modern and the dark décor gives it a club/​lounge vibe. They have an iPad ordering system and the food comes literally instantaneously — you have been warned!
The sashimi are cut to a nice thickness and are not room temperature or warm but refreshingly cold, just the way I like it! The baked mussels and green salad are so addicting and always my favourite because of the concentrated carrot dressing as well as the creamy sauce they bake the mussels with. All the fried items are never too greasy and are very crispy. The specialty rolls section also have some interesting and creative rolls as well as a wide selection of stir fried rice and noodle dishes. They also feature one free lamb chop on Fri-​Sun for each adult AYCE dinner diner but you need to ask your server for it. At the end of your meal, their desserts menu contains the typical green tea, red bean and mango ice creams as well as fried bananas, mango pudding, green tea jelly and my favourite, crème brûlée!
Overall, great for groups because of the spacious interior, fast service and great food! We usually come here on weekends and never have we had a bad experience with the food or management.
PS– I’d recommend ordering in increments because the food you send in when confirming your order come out quicker than you can eat; the staff don’t really take note of table size or help you space out the timing of when food should come but it’s great if you’re starving though. which is often when going for a buffet!

Cheap fast food quality for an expensive price. Really didn’t like this place. I have been to other all you can eat sushi and Thai that were 100 times better than this place. Will definitely not be going back!

Another Chinese owned AYCE sushi place. Price seems a little higher than other places $ 21.99 for dinner without drinks and the food doesn’t really reflect to it. Sushi itself is decent but other dishes have the distinctive Taiwanese or Chinese herb taste to them. Appetizers are pretty good though and I like the Ipad menu.
But spend $ 4 – 5 more and choose Spoon and Forks if you like to have good AYCE Japanese/​Thai.

Food was very good, lots of options. We found our food took awhile to come out once we confirmed our order. Overall a good experience, we will be back

Hmm… I like the atmosphere, very much reminded me of another place I’ve been to in the Newmarket area of similar cuisine. Shiitake has great options if you have people in your group that don’t like sushi. So, a place like this is great for us, since i love sushi, and my wife doesn’t like fish at all.
As I mentioned, the atmosphere is pretty cool, and modern. ordering on the iPad’s is pretty cool, and the food comes out in a reasonable amount of time, granted they were pretty quite on New Year’s Eve when we were here. Most other place’s had crazy wait times.
As far as AYCE sushi, I greatly prefer Masa for the rice to fish ratio in their rolls, and food quality, for the other non fish options, in the area I’d go to Spoon & Fork. All in all, I don’t think I’d be back here any time soon.

In the land of Vaughan where Italian food rules supreme, a decent AYCE sushi joint is hard to come by. And a futuristic one is even harder to come by!
I had seen Shiitake Sushi open its doors in vaughan near Pine Valley Drive and Hwy 7, several months ago while pulling into the same plaza to enjoy a calorie infused burger at Holy Chuck. It’s been on my list since then and only recent did I remember to stop in.
To begin the devote here is amazing. Very modern, almost club/​lounge like. Fits within the Woodbridge culture perfectly. We were seated quickly for lunch.
The innovation of having the iPad for ordering at every table makes for the lunch experience to be even quicker. No more waiting for your server to fly by and pick up your scrap of paper.
The food was on par with most AYCE lunch offerings. But the selection went far beyond just rolls, maki and hot options. I gorged myself on massive Korean short ribs. Like massive. Had noodle dishes, a miso soup as well as the regular tempura, sushi, rolls, make etc offerings.
Price for lunch was great $ 38 for two, tax and tip included.
Id be back again to try dinner to rate them on their sashimi offerings.
Eatcrest out

I have dinner shitakesushi to many time food also best yummy, service so good. there sushi nice to .best shushi & thai place in vaguham,!!!

VERY IMPRESSED! Better than 168 Sushi!
Every table gets an iPad for easy ordering!
I have been to many All You Can East Sushi places, and I have to admit, Shitake Sushi is by far the best I have been to in a long time!
It is better than 168 Sushi and Spook & Fork.
The menu is very extensive including Sushi, Appetizers, Hot Thai and Chinese foods.
The wait staff is very friendly and the service is extremely quick! From the moment you hit «Order» on the ipad, it is just a few minutes and the food is on the table.
Everything we ordered from the menu was very tasty and exceptional quality.
You will not be disappointed! Shitake Sushi can most liley be the best All You Can East in Vaughan, if not Toronto.
To top it off, the décor in the restaurant is outstanding. THe nicely decorated enviroment resembles that of a high quality restaurant which just adds to the overall experience.
