Everything here is absolutely delicious. We often come here to celebrate life milestones or just as a treat to ourselves. We leave with full bellies and just so satisfied. The staff is so friendly and attentive and you always feel welcome. Their take out is also just as delicious.

Wow wow wow! What a hidden gem. This is honestly the best sushi I’ve ever had, no exaggeration. Since discovering this place, I’ve already been back multiple times. It’s honestly hard to believe you can get this level of quality at an AYCE. The food here could easily pass for a proper à la carte restaurant.

We’ve tried almost everything on the menu by now. All the seafood dishes are incredible, super fresh, flavourful, and consistently good. We did try the grilled beef once, and while it was tasty, it was a bit chewy. Not really their specialty, so I’d stick to the seafood, which they clearly master.

The staff are friendly, polite, and professional. Ordering can feel a little confusing the first time, but don’t hesitate to ask, they’ll walk you through it. Basically, you look through the menu, find what you want on the paper order sheet, and mark it down.

One cool thing about this place is the back wall filled with awards and recognitions from over the years, it feels like a little piece of their history. Even the hallway to the washrooms looks like a mini museum, and the restroom doors are decorated to match the restaurant’s theme. You can tell they really care about details.

Must-try items? Definitely the shrimp tempura, we always order a ton of them. My suggestion for first-timers is to try a bit of everything on your first visit, because everything is high quality, and it just comes down to personal taste.

And whatever you do, don’t skip the fried chocolate dessert. It’s absolutely out of this world.

Really good food and fast service. Too fast in the sense our table got filled to the point we were having trouble finding places to put everything. Our fault for ordering too much but didnt expect it all out so quickly. Hour and a half table time is also a bit on the shirt side.

Not bad but food is very fatty/greasy. Also they have a height restriction for children who which they charge as adults after a certain height. Complete rip off.

My friends and I had the best experience here on Tuesday. The service was incredible, most stuff came out at the same time and the workers were beyond accommodating. We had a friend in our group who has food sensitivities and they were more cautious about it than we were! I have been to the uptown location and already loved it but even though the food quality is the same, this location has topped in service! Must try and again thank you for the amazing service!
