3.5/5!
I was hesitant to try this location due to all the negative reviews I saw but it really wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be.
I think something I've always hated about sushi places is how emotionless employees are, in the sense that they might as well be robots. They're efficient and quick but show zero emotion. We were asked to wait for our table cause we wanted one by the window as it overlooked Dundas Square but we were seated maybe 2 minutes later. You get to order via an iPad and once you're done, your server comes to your table and confirms the order.
Our miso soups came quite quick and everything followed suit accordingly. I'm not a fan of food invasions so I really liked that plates were brought out a few minutes apart. We only had to wait a while for some plates but definitely not the majority.
So, in terms of the quality. I thought the soups and sashimi were better than most, but their sushi was pretty mediocre, nothing special. Their teriyaki was good and deep fried items were good as well. We tried takoyaki (fried octopus balls) and beef tataki (lightly seared thinly sliced beef) and they were delicious. I ordered a seafood udon soup and it was very well done but I wasn't a fan of the calamari or crab meat. I know it's evident that these types of foods are prepared earlier but they looked almost plastic so that was unappealing. A very loud fire alarm was going off a long time and we weren't getting any straight answers from any of the servers (some said they didn't know, some said it was just a test but the announcement said the alarm had been pulled and is undergoing investigation) so that was a bit annoying.
All U Can Eat dinner on weekends after tax is $30. Not too bad, I would recommend it :)
