August 8 is one of my favourite AYCE sushi restaurants. I went here on Boxing Day with family and friends. It was a last minute desicion, so we called to see if they had any reservations left which they didn't. The hostess said that if we came right away we wouldn't have to wait. Sure enough, no wait time at 6pm. As the evening went on it was full. Thank you hostess!
The iPad was ready to go when we sat down at the table and our drink orders were taken promptly. What I really love is that despite our large order, not everything came out at once. We received out tampura, then a edemame a little while later. Sashimi after, then sushi and eventually our hot entrees. It was nice to have it spread out and try little bits of everything.
The rolls are pretty basic, nothing new or crazy. The spicy salmon is good - always my go-to. Wish they had more fish options that didn't contain shrimp or eel as I am allergic. The rolls are fresh and tasty though.
Sashimi is fresh and delicious. We even placed a second order of the salmon. Teppanyaki was delicious as well. The marinade on the meat was great and it wasn't so overcooked that it was tough.
The staff came around often to take away the empty plates. The only problem we had was getting our drinks refilled. The server took our order and then didn't return for 10min.
Dessert was good. The usual suspects - deep fried banana, custard roll, ice cream, etc. Our bill came quickly. The price is comparable to all other AYCE sushi restaurants in Oakville and Burlington.
We will definitely be returning!
