Golden Maki Japanese Restaurant

Restaurant was only half full. For Acye the quantity you order is never what you actually get. Waited at least 30 minutes for one of our orders. Instead of having someone walk around asking if water or tea needs to be filled every 5 minutes, maybe hire more chefs to keep up with the food demand. For the price they charge, definitely not worth it. If it wasn't for a family dinner, we would not come here otherwise. Quality of food has been consistently mediocre. This place used to be good but has gone downhill over the years.

What can I say? Great food. Wait staff are ESL speakers but all very kind and helpful. And a great redesign after minor fire damage. I love the all-you-can-eat sushi!

Staff are always friendly, fast, and efficient. Whether dining in or take out Golden Maki is always one of my choice goto for Sushi in Newmarket. Great price for dine-in all you call eat.

This was a fantastic experience. We both walked out comfortably full and wearing big smiles. The food was fresh, tasty and perfectly seasoned.

Parking: Long line of parking spots available just outside the door.

The basic party tray was good for 4-5 people and their taco sushi and red tuna were of good quality. The service was good they know how to interact with customers very well.

Great tasting food. It is always a pleasure to visit Golden Maki. The food never disappoints. Service was excellent as always. I ordered salmon lover combo and lunch pick 3 combo. I enjoyed every bite. Will be visiting again soon.

The most recent 4 out of 5 times I've called to order take out from this place recently (since covid happened) I ended up having to wait more than twice the amount of time that they told me. I'm 100% sympathetic to the fact that things happen and orders can get delayed but based from the consistency of the occurance and the countless reviews here saying pretty much the same thing, this is just unacceptable. They are at over capacity, they're aware of it but they're also too greedy to let you know about it

Today i went to pick up an order which they told me would take 30 mins. Already knowing what's going to happen, I showed up after 45 mins instead, only for one the employees to tell me that the order isnt ready because I only called a few minutes ago... I then corrected her and said no I called 45 mins ago and she went in to check, then came back to tell me the order will be ready in a few minutes. Of course now I know based on experience that this is obviously a lie so I called her out on it and asked for real how long I'd have to wait and she said "ok ok for real it's actually 10-15 minutes". At this time another gentlemen customer also told the same employee that he's been waiting for 20 minutes outside the door after being told his order would only take "a moment".

Not that I needed this to confirm my suspicion, but now I know for a fact that they're just blatantly giving fake time estimates for your orders. That's why if you go around dinner time there's generally a line out the door. Those poor people all came on time but will still be told to wait "a few more minutes" while their order isnt even being prepared yet and they wait another who knows how long. Basically they're lied to twice in a single visit. When winter comes, this "just a few more minutes" lie will mean that people will be standing out in the cold rather than in their vehicles.

I called out the girl again and asked why this keeps happening and she literally started laughing and blamed it on her coworker who's "in charge of the scheduling".

If anyone's wondering why I keep coming back if this keeps happening, the simple reason is because it's close to where I live and to be fair the food is decent. But i'm drawing the line now, and the next time this happens, I'm taking off without notice and I encourage everyone to do the same.

Sushi Jun is only about a 5 minutes drive from this place. They're a MUCH smaller restaurant, only capable of sitting maybe 6-8 people at max if dine ins are allowed and they're also always drowning in take out orders these days They do however give accurate time estimates every single time, even if the wait is going to be over an hour long. 100% respect to those guys.

To the owner:
Dont give me your generic "sorry for the wait, it was rush hour" reply that you seem to give everyone. You know exactly what you're doing and it's trashy. If it weren't for my family members who keeps ordering from you, I'd never set foot there again. I have never wished for a business to fail so bad.
