| - I've been to Heart Sushi (Heartland location) 2 times for AYCE lunch ($15/person). Overall, Heart Sushi is a fantastic place to eat, but only if you don't eat the sushi.
I don't really care about décor/service, but i'll briefly mention it. Décor was good, definitely a place my more "fancy" relatives would like, and service was fine. No problems whatsoever. I've never really had any missed orders or anything like that. iPad menu is good, probably great for people who are indecisive so they can add/delete items to their hearts content and finalize their order at the end, but for me, I don't really find it that much better or different than paper + pen. One good thing though is that they have pictures on the iPad. Note that right after ordering desserts they take away the iPad and hand you the bill. What I did was ignore the bill they handed me and ask the waiter for more. I felt like there should have been a "pay bill" button on the iPad to avoid this.
As for food, the Heartland Heart Sushi has fantastic non-sushi dishes. Korean, Thai, Japanese, Chinese, etc. The meat is always lean (no fat meat that I personally dislike) and all of the different dishes taste great. Strong flavours, great variety, and unique dishes. They nail all of the different Asian dishes. The sweet and sour chicken is better than a lot of Chinese restaurants. Unlike in other places, with the teriyaki chicken and chicken skewers they give you enough sauce. The Korean bulgogi I've had here is better than the ones I've had in downtown Toronto from authentic Korean restaurants. In fact, the dishes are so good that I have not tried a non-sushi dish that I don't like yet. Portion sizes are also amazing; very small so you can try nearly everything in one visit (not alone of course).
Sushi now is a different story. I heard from my friend that the AYCE dinner sashimi is fantastic but I have not tried that. I can only say that for AYCE lunch, the salmon sushi is bad. The fish is fresh but the problem is that it is sliced so thinly that it's almost see through. When I eat it all I taste is rice. I purposely tried it both times I've been there just to see whether it was just a fluke. It wasn't. The maki rolls are okay and they are generous with the fish, which is somewhat odd. Funnily, I taste more salmon in the salmon/avocado roll than I do with the salmon sushi. but there's nothing special about the rolls.
Desserts are really good. Very unique, and have subtle flavours. I like that they aren't too sweet. They come in really small shot glasses, so usually I order like 2 - 3 just for a single person. The tiramisu is great, as is the black sesame mousse, the fried banana, and my favourite the fried milk thing.
I will be coming back to Heart Sushi, but not for its sushi. If you come here for sushi you'll leave disappointed. Think of Heart Sushi kind of like Mandarin, but with a larger variety in types of Asian cuisine. In that sense, Heart Sushi is great.
