My initial impression was that there is so much parking and the restaurant is really nice inside. This is a huge plus. The staff are helpful and pleasant. We have tried many of the dishes on the menu and they are all good. The sushi is fresh and their hot dishes are really tasty. This could easily become my regular go-to Japanese restaurant.

Real mixed bag with this place. Mostly brown bag. Decided to grab some take out for lunch. Many good reviews mixed with some bad ones on here but I took a chance anyhow. Friendly service at the front desk. A nice cup of tea while I waited. I ordered the ‘premium sushi’, 7 or 8 sushi pieces with a dynamite roll. For $ 20 I figured it couldn’t be too low end. Half right, half wrong. The salmon, tuna and butterfish were decent. Tender and fresh, not overly flavourful but not fishy. Shrimp and eel were chewy — complete turn off. I didn’t attempt the last 2 pieces, they didn’t look very fresh. I’ve had way better dynamite rolls. Avocado and cucumber outweighed the shrimp tempura 3 to 1. No radish sprouts or anything interesting. Clearly not made to order, as the nori was chewy. That doesn’t happen unless it sits a while and soaks up moisture. The tempura was cold and there was no crunch to it. Typical sides of iceberg lettuce salad with carrot ginger dressing and miso soup were completely unremarkable. Contrary to other reviews here, the wasabi had a great heat and bite to it. Unfortunately there are far too many good sushi joints in the GTA to warrant my return.

I have visited many sushi places over the years and this by far falls very close to the bottom. Besides the fact that we had a reservation and still had to wait 20 minutes is not cool but I can respect that and live with it. What I cant live with is when you order chicken teriyaki and it was served under cooked. Yes that’s right the chicken was not cooked fully through. It was corrected and remade and was cooked properly the second time but this left me very concerned with ordering any other chicken dishes. Please check all your chicken before eating it. On top of that being disgusting its DANGEROUS. I already had a piece in my mouth when someone told me not to swallow it. Caught it just in time. On top of that all the rolls that I ordered all had avocado in them. Every single one. The avocado was so over powering that it was all I tasted in all the sushi. Up until the next day I had an awful taste in my mouth from the sushi the night before. I have heard from many other people that this place is amazing so I’m not sure if I came on an off day but this was enough to convince me never to visit again.

My wife and I ordered take-out. It was my first time coming here and was impressed with what I saw, and did not expect to see a nice clean décor with professional staff. It was very busy on a Friday evening. The manager offered us tea while we waited for our order, which was a nice gesture. The food is pretty good, fresh tasting salmon sashimi and sushi, rolls were good, nice selection, wasabi was strong(good!). We did not try any other cooked items. Next time. Plenty of free parking since it’s at the shopping centre. Near the highway.

It’s nice to stumble upon an AYCE sushi place that does it right. I had lunch at Makimono’s as I passed through the neighbourhood. I was just going to have a standard lunch, but I noticed they had a bit of sashimi on the AYCE menu. Ordering off of an iPad is easier, since you can see the photos of each item. The variety between Chinese, Thai, Japanese, and sushi was good. I especially liked the hand rolls, made with impossibly snappy, crisp nori, and fish going all the way to the bottom. I tried a few different ones, and the were all great. The sushi in general was also very good, with a nice balance of protein to rice. I also tried the Seafood Pad Thai, which was largely inedible due to a strong antiseptic taste. Also, «seafood» does not mean a few cut up chunks of artificial crab stick. A real turn-off. Overall, a good value, and I would probably order anything off the menu except the Pad Thai. No loss…

I get take out from here a few times a month and I have no complaints. It’s very well priced. Always fresh and ready when I get there. The staff always take my order accurately and it’s always correct. And if you pay cash you get 10% off your order! No complaints thus far!

The sushi here was great. Check out their take out menu and special sushi rolls menu… CHEAPPRICES!!! We got there late and they were closing in 15mins so we could not dine in. We opted for take out and was surprised at their prices… ranging from $ 2.95 to $ 12. The sushi was very tasty and portions were good. They presented the sushi nice… some places whe taking out… it looks like a mess. I will definitely go back and try the all you can eat. The service was great too. After we paid… we waited outside. The lady brought out our order for us.

Makimono was pretty decent! I enjoyed my three rolls. I tried the ocean roll, the bbq eel roll and the rainbow roll. I wish the ocean roll had something crunchy in it — maybe some cucumber or tempura flakes. The flavour was great, just lacking the crunch as it was just all fish and mayo. Sort of mushy. The service was prompt and the menu is through iPad which is a cool feature. I loved that there was salmon sashimi on the lunch menu. I do with their ATM was working since they don’t accept debit. The restaurant is big! Considering the number of lunch patrons, my meal came out fast and all together. I was very impressed with this. Over all, I’d return.

I visited this place for a quick business lunch at 1 p.m. I thought it was 3.8 but the scoring is even numbers. Compared to all-you-can-eat sushi places that I know around GTA, this probably deserves the 4 anyway. I generally don’t buy the all-you-can-eat concept but my guest thought otherwise. As such, he kept eating while I admired his appetite. SERVICE: the service was prompt except for arrival and seating that kept us waiting for a few minutes. The reception and the host were the same person. Not a big a deal. Once we had the high-tech tablet menu, everything arrived promptly and fairly in the order we wanted. The waitress switched our drinks on delivery and it took us a sip to discover that. Again, they corrected that. They don’t have the professional waiting staff that know how to schmooze and make recommendation, but again, that is not big on my list for an all-you-can-eat place. Overall they were friendly, attentive, and pleasant. That is a 4 for me. Food: It was pretty good for an all-you-can-feed-your-face place. The Salmon hand roll had the right amount of Salmon and rice and the rice was warm rather than from the fridge which I like. The Salmon-Avocado maki had a thin layer of rice around and that was great. Most places try to thicken the rice and fill you up. They even had a few Sashimi items for lunch including Salmon which again was a great choice to have. The chicken and Salmon teriyaki were cooked to the point and not overly saucy. Everything we tried was pretty good. Now, I don’t usually order cooked stuff in a sushi place but my guest differs and I nibbled a bit. The place: the place had a modern décor with lots of windows and it was clean. That is why, I am comfortable with a 4 star for this place for lunch. At $ 15 per person, I say it was a great deal so don’t be cheap and leave a good tip if they are prompt and pleasant, and that they were.
