I checked into this place on a monday night. And did not make a reservation. It was very crowded. Although as tables cleared i can tell the system for placing tables is a bit unorganized as there is a huge waiting crowd and lots of empty unoccupied tables.For a new place a little bit of disorganization is understandable.
On to the food. The food overall was below average for the area in markham especially considering all the ayce jap buffet. The sashimi was clearly not fresh i went with someone else and had a table for 2. After eating the sashimi salmon,tuna, and hokkigi my friend felt not well and head to the bathroom. It might just be the way they defrost or whichever.
The sushi overall although the menu had a lot of selection and we tried many as seen in the pictures it felt average at best. The rice was not the right texture for sushi. The size was fine. The cooked food area of the restaurant i felt they tried hard and i give them applause to make new fishes and more variety such as baked lamb shoulder. Or spring egg which was good. Their cooked food overall was better then the sushi as care was taken with most of the menu and variety is plentiful.
The desert was average for an ayce japanese place. They had a lot of variety in the menu however when we tried to order. A good half of the desert menu was unavailable.
Overall as a japanese ayce restaurant it is serviceable, although for the price it is definetely also not as good as similar priced restaurants. However by no means would this be in my top 5 of markham/richmond places given the areas abundance of japanese ayce
