| - Not bad, especially for the price, but I wouldn't consider this my AYCE sushi buffet of choice. I was looking for a sushi buffet place close to Yorkdale within a reasonable budget. I was actually lucky to find this place which offers AYCE lunch for $14. Anything under $16 for sushi buffet nowadays is a steal! My boyfriend and I got here around 11:15am, which is considered very early for sushi buffet. There's street parking right in front, but if you drive down a block or two, you can park on the side streets for free. Do not park on the street in front if you're not going to pay or if you don't add to your metre time because there were 2 parking enforcement officers writing tickets within the hour and a half I was eating (we could see them from the window).
You can easily spot this place because of the grand opening sign, even though I think this restaurant has been open for years. Since we were the only ones eating, it was very quiet - no music or tv in the background. The menu is generous for a $14 lunch buffet. They even offer sashimi, but it's max 3 pieces per person and you can only order 1 of each sashimi. I really enjoyed their sweet and sour chicken! It's not 99% fried dough like other sushi places and tastes just like what you would pay $10 for at a different Chinese restaurant. All the chicken dishes I got (sweet & sour, yakitori, teriyaki, chicken fried udon) were made with white meat, although sometimes it was quite dry. Dessert consisted of 5 different flavours of ice cream and the cutest flower bowl.
Service is decent. English is definitely not their first language here, but that wasn't a problem at all. Our waitress was very soft spoken and fairly silent, but I wouldn't consider her impolite or inattentive. We did have to ask for soy sauce and ginger/wasabi since they didn't bring it with the sushi, but that's okay. Food came quickly and they cleared our plates as soon as we were done eating. Leftover food is charged at $.50 per dish which isn't bad.
