I went to The Sushi Place on the recommendation of reviews I'd read on Yelp. While I agree with others - one should always expect less-than-stellar quality sushi and maki when heading to an AYCE establishment - I nonetheless think The Sushi Place is pretty damn good for both the lunch (13.99) and dinner price points (19.99).
The rolls aren't overburdened with rice and they do really good tempura - the vegetables aren't limp and over-fried. Service was very friendly and attentive, too. However, I went at lunch, so I can't speak to how they deal with crowds.
In terms of quality, The Sushi Place *easily* outdoes downtown establishments like Aji Sai or the AYCE sushi restaurants at Yonge and Dundas, where your roll is barely formed thanks to the rush. If you live in High Park, the Junction, or Roncie, this should be your go-to for AYCE.
