Food was good but the staff forgot to ring in a lot of our selection. A short wait for the table but nothing too bad. Wish they had more salmon specialty rolls instead of eel

Placed an order on Uber for pickup and requested to sub raw item in a hand roll to an alternate cooked item, the restaurant called and said they cannot accommodate this. They asked me to cancel my order on the uber ap because they couldn’t cancel the order on their end. After I cancelled the order I got an email from uber stating that I am still charged because the restaurant accepted the order already. When I asked the staff to speak to the manager to give me a refund since I cancelled my order under their instruction, they said since uber charges them a certain amount they can only give me back 75% of my order amount and did not give me a full refund. The mistake was on the restaurants end but they made me pay for their oversight. Do not recommend ordering any takeout from here.

This is the most delicious all you can eat sushi restaurant. It is also the original location. The staff members are very kind which made my experience a nice one. I am addicted to the Miso Soup and vegetarian udon. The sushi itself is the best I ever had and I have been to hundreds of sushi places. This one tasted very fresh and full of flavor. I will definitely be back for more!

Excellent!!

I absolutely love this place! Having lived in Japan, I will say this is as close to authentic izakaya food as you are going to get in the area. The ambiance is spot on, including the friendly greeting from the staff. The karaage is fantastic. The sushi is really good and they even carry my favorite sparkling sake. They have the all you can eat style that most Japanese izakaya’s have in Japan. Honestly, I cannot recommend this place enough.

One of the most delicious ayce sushi restaurants I have been to in a very long time. Everything was clean, fresh and so tasty! The staff were so kind and friendly and I didn't feel rushed at all. The variety was terrific as well! Can't wait to go back again! *do yourself a favour and order the Karaage chicken and beef w/mushrooms

Food quantity is amazing and very fresh!

Possibly the second best all-you-can-eat sushi in town - and also the priciest, with a ton of annoying rules (a 1.5-hour time limit? Fine, that should be enough). Reservation for 2? Sorry but only for 6. On top of that, they enforce a minimum tip percentage for large groups, and now the only lunch dessert option is a popsicle. I prefer to drive a little and go to number 1, which went from downtown to near Mandarin.

Service was attentive and food was served quickly. This is one of the only restaurants where I would order beef as it is cooked to perfection. The rest of the menu consists of flavourful, fresh deliciousness.

Horrible experience. Stressed us with time spent sitting. Stomach didn’t feel good after. Kept telling us we will pay extra for anything we didn’t finish. Took forever for the sashimi to be served after we ordered

We had heard good things about this place and decided to try it out. So glad we did. Food was really delicious, high quality. Our server was fantastic. We will be back!

Kid-friendliness: I was nervous about bringing kids to a nice sushi place, but they treated them so well! Special kid chopsticks (the good homemade version) and our server made us comfortable in a booth perfect for squirmy kids. Kids felt fancy dining with us.

I went to the restaurant today for dinner 6:30 PM reservation. Waiters were slow to come and take out orders. When they did arrive, they quickly reminded us of the 90 minute limit. With the slow service we essentially received 60 minutes. 75 minutes in waiter came to the table and advised we had 10 minutes left. We had purchased a bottle of wine which was half empty. 5 minutes later another waiter came to inform months that our time was up and we needed to vacate Our table. The food was OK Service was lacking. I will not be going back.
