| - If you live in Richmond Hill/ Markham area you know how hard it is to find a good AYCE Sushi place however when you do stumble upon one which is even SLIGHTLY better than the rest, you know you have to share with others. I understand 905 FAM the struggle is real!
First Impressions: Came here for lunch on a Friday and when you walk inside the first thing you will notice are large red booths that could easily sit 6-8 people however only a few seats for smaller parties. The place was clean, CP24 was playing, and overall felt spacious. We had a party of 2 but they gave us a large booth anyways which I appreciated.
Food Impressions: Like most decent AYCE sushi places you are not going to get great quality in food but I must say it was better than a lot of ones that I have been to. They use the iPad system which to me is overly used now. You had your typical stuff that you'd get everywhere else plus a few nice surprises like the GRILLED SANMA. The MAKI ROLLS and SUSHI ROLLS were typical like most AYCE sushi places but it wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. The seaweed on the HAND ROLLS was crispy. The best of their selection were the dessert choices. Not only did you get ice cream (green tea, red bean, vanilla, chocolate) but they also have COCONUT PUDDING, JELLO, FRIED BANANA and my personal favorite SESAME BALLS.
Service Impressions: Right when we got into the door we were greeted with a friendly hello. She walked up to us and brought us to our seats. Why do I mention this? Isn't it typical for restaurants to do this? Uhh not in most Asian restaurants. Service was quick and consistent. We had no problem with food as most of it came out together. The service here I would say is consistent and I had no issues with it.
Opportunities: I would like to see AYCE places include Akimi who uses iPads as an ordering system use it as an extension of their service and not solely rely on it.
Overall Impressions: It is what it is. An AYCE sushi place that isn't bad but also isn't OMG material. It is slightly better than most in terms of service, their bigger selection of food, and their taste on certain items. Overall this place to me is better than a lot of places in this area.
