We came here as a group based on the marketing/advertisement and it came with 10% discount (newspaper advertisement or you can obtain it from www.ccue.ca) which was a bit attractive to come and try this place out...
I usually don't have extremely high expectations for AYCE due to the fact that you're paying for quantity instead of quality...so I was expecting subpar quality...
I guess a lot of places are implementing the iPad order yourself which makes it look tech savvy...but I didn't like the fact for this place..after entering you had to click on "call server" and your server comes to "approve" your request with their password, that was a bit inconvenient...
The Yeah(s):
- nice and spacious tables
- go grab your own semi-appys (I.e. soup and some salads and desserts)
- small pieces of sushi...so you can get more variety
- thinly slices of sashimi (too many places cut way too thick)
- each person was allowed 2 Alaska crab legs
- torched sushi (not crazy reservations like KaKa @ fmp)
The Naah(s)
- minimal English and Canto spoken by servers
- subpar freshness
- soft drinks add $1 per person
- overpriced ($28.99 pp@adults, $12.99 for kids 3-9, kids @ 3 really can't eat that much)
The restaurant itself had a contemporary design and it was quite spacious. Everyone only knew how to speak mandarin, which didn't help, as my mandarin is very bad. English and Canto was not widely spoken. I think only the manager or the boss spoke minimal of both languages.
If the 10% off stays on as a long term promo, I may be more tempted to come back.
