Ye’s Buffet

I’ve been to Ye’s a couple of times for lunch, and both times were OK. Nothing amazing to blow me away, but the food is pretty decent, and I found the fish to be fresh. The dessert bar is really fun with the bite sized treats. There’s even a fro yo machine!
The service was good, and they are very quick with the orders.
Good AYCE sushi joint with decent bang for your buck.

Tried it for the first time since it reverted back to the AYCE sushi model. Very dissatisfied with the food and the service. Food, when it came, was sub par. It takes a long time once you place an order for it to come. When an order got delayed delayed waitress said «sometimes the computer sends it to wrong table». The owners should have skipped the renos and the tablets and concentrated on the food and service. Won’t be back.

Came here for the first time with some friends who are regulars, they waved about this place. I was disappointed when I left. I was full, but the sushi and other food that I ordered wasn’t as satisfying as I hoped. First of all, there were no more snow crab, which was apparently no longer in season. Which isn’t true because it always comes in frozen anyway. The sushi that we ordered was okay, wasn’t mind blowing. The service was mediocre. Took a while to get served, get our water and wasabi. The place looks really nice when you walk in and the set up is also nice. I’d give it another chance, maybe I came on a bad day. It looks like it could have potential.

Good, clean and spacious sushi restaurant. All is fresh. Place of choice. Would visit again.

Well, we decided to try it because there was a special on. I did very much enjoy the crab salad, (that was about the only item I enjoyed) — don’t remember the desserts so I guess they weren’t much to speak of. We tried a number of items, a couple of specialty rolls, some hot items. What I remember most about the whole experience is that the food when it arrived looked nothing like the pictures on the ipad! I mean you would not recognize them and I actually questioned the server. The final straw — I was so looking forward to the strawberry cream roll for dessert. It arrived looking disgusting. The fresh strawberries in the picture turned out to be loads of crappy sweet strawberry jam. We couldn’t eat it. So, long story short, I don’t much care what kind of special they might have, we won’t be going back.

Good sushi! Cheap nights on Tuesday’s
Great selection excellent sashimi what’s not to like?!

Extremely disappointing ever since the renovations turned it from a buffet to a normal AYCE-​style order with limited buffet items (eg. fruits, salad, soup, dessert, ice cream). There are tablets to order with, but they’re large and bulky and once an order is submitted, the server sometimes takes a while to confirm the order.
The food — the salmon sashimi was frozen (I suppose this is preferable to the pest problem at Itamae). The salmon lover/​rose sushi was a very lazy ball of rice that easily fell apart with a slice of raw salmon sitting on top similar to salmon sushi and a drop of mayo. It’s a far cry from the salmon rose that actually looks like a flower. The Salmon Tatakie was interesting, but is lacking compared to Kinkaku Izakaya’s carpaccio. I’m not convinced that Ye’s Buffet cares anymore about the quality of their sushi, which is unfortunate since there is so much new competition in the area.
Service was also lacking. One of the waitresses was not able to understand our question on what sushi they had brought us, and even struggled to answer the question in Mandarin (In Mandarin: «This is Sushi.» «I don’t know what the name of the sushi is.»)
The men’s washroom stall had no lock on the door (or any way to keep the door shut actually).
There is a 10% student discount. But this place isn’t worth your money anymore. The Ye’s Sushi on King St. is a better choice for cheap AYCE sushi and Kinkaku Izakaya for quality AYCE sushi.

I used to like this place a lot, in fact, I used to think it was a solid 4 stars. I was very disappointed with the quality of the food when they changed to order-​via-​tablet style. I won’t be going back there anymore.

So disappointed. This place used to be an easy 4 star buffet. Then they did a renovation and made it the same as their other locations. It is not horrible, but truly generic, and slightly sub par among the KW ACYE sushi scene. I used to go here once a week, but now I prefer sushi star or spring roll to Ye’s offering.
Change it back!!!

When this was Ye’s Sushi, it was a solid four stars out of five (only a true full serve sushi restaurant would get five stars). Now it is a confusing mix of buffet — slash — order sushi & sashimi. The staff seem unhappy, the buffet food is totally inconsistent — some fresh, some «way to old» to even consider eating — too much time under heat lamps. Ye’s made a big mistake with the renovation and expansion into a different format — should have stuck with the excellent service and atmposphere of the original Ye’s Sushi. I was a regular, and brought many friends to the old place. I came here once — and will never come again.

This place is so hit and miss. I miss all you can eat sushi, so I go here. Then I remember why I stayed away. Slow service, they sometimes forget things or just bring them REALLY late, and I’m pretty sure I got food poisoning after eating here once in 2008. My husband loves it so we go sometimes but I try to stay away.

It’s not a buffet anymore… Won’t be going to this place anymore… :(it wasn’t busy when we went there. I hope they change it back to a buffet. Luthier buffet consists of different salads, soup, pizza, chicken wings (REALLY GOOD), fries/​onion rings and desserts (some of which aren’t good at all).

Never again. Went from amazing sushi and Chinese buffet, to subpar yucky food. Servers now have to work twice as hard so they’re not happy. Ordering is done by iPads with hardly a description. Such a disappointment. Consider a different sushi place before this one.

Bullshit restaurant.
Management rude as shit. Seriously, who accuses customers of lying to their face and then talks shit in mandarin in front of your face as if I can’t understand.
A bunch of cunts run this establishment.

This Japanese buffet is much better than the other one I regularly visited in the town. They offered snow crag legs and different varieties of fish. Most of the food items are delicious and are given in generous amount.
It requires a bit walking distance from Conestoga Mall; so perhaps some people without a car might find it inconvenient to reach. But it’s worth a try.
I’ll visit it next time if I want to have a Japanese buffet.

I used to enjoy this place a lot, but it all went down hill after the renovations.
If you are going to go here, definitely DO NOT GO here when it’s slow /​empty. The food gets cold, the sushi doesn’t taste very good, and it’s just awful. The service is good though.
My friend went here on a Friday evening, and said that the sushi was good.
I think it depends on how busy the night is.
I won’t be returning anymore, sadly.

As the saying goes, don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
This stylish new buffet offers spacious seating areas with modern design. Servers are also nice and patient. As you walk by the buffet tables, delicious chinese and japanese dishes await your hungry body to obtain as many items as possible that can fit on to your plate.
Sushi and Sashimi are ordered at the table which is a GREAT idea because that guarantees the freshness of the food. I found most buffet table food to be quite gross. The fried chicken had purple/​black bones which indicated that the chicken had diseases. The tofu scallop was sour which means the tofu had gone bad. The other dishes were filled with MSG as I came home running straight to the tap for water.
One big turnoff was that their deserts were not made in-​house. I saw a lady fill the dessert table with brownies, napoleans, and cakes from a cardboard box. I felt like I was eating some sort of mass made desserts that are served at those $ 7.99 AYCE lunch chinese restaurants in small towns.
I have a feeling they cut down their kitchen for more seating area. The place definitely feels a lot bigger.
I am giving it 3 stars mainly for it’s atmosphere and service.

I really enjoyed it. Think of it as a better version of the mandarin. Tastier food, better quality food, better atmosphere and a hell lot cleaner! Good work.
