| - Just about as average (if not a little worse) as you can get from a typical AYCE Sushi restaurant.
I decided to go to this place because inSauga rated it one of the top 5 AYCE sushi restaurants in Mississauga. Having tried the other 4 (Heart, 168, Famous formly known as Yangs and Prince), i decided to give it shot....
My first red flag should have been that they placed Famous sushi in their list.
Went here a while back with my girlfriend on our day off during lunch. Suprisingly enough the place was not completely empty as I would expect it to be on a weekday lunch. We were promptly seated and given our drinks. Our first tea cup was cracked down the middle and was leaking... so that immediately lowered my quality expectations. One of the waitresses apologized and gave us a new cup along with a pot of tea - which seems to be the norm for the restaurant; the 7-8 other tables also had teapots on their tables too.
We ordered our food via pen and paper, and sent it off. Food came in waves and came quickly (thats good right?). My girlfriend said the salmon sushi tasted off to her, but I didn't really notice anything wrong so I happily ate her share.
One of the ongoing problems with ayce sushi restaurants are the sushi rolls. Many places will provide a rather bland selection of items, and then add too much cucumber/avocado/crisp to it to offset the meat and therefore increase profits. This place seemed to uphold this unspoken policy and really dampened the taste.
We didn't have too many kitchen items, so I can't speak too much of it, but from what we got I would rate them average.
We ordered a spicy salmon pizza on the first round and only received it before paying the bill. This was after asking the server a few times for it, and they explained how the rice had to be deep fried for the pizza. As a prior worker at 168 sushi (yes I'm referring to this again) I understood this, and knew that it would take about 8 minutes for it to come out. We gave them said amount of time, and never received it. After about 15 we got it, but we were rather full at that point so we ate it we heavy hearts (and stomachs).
Their dessert selection is nice though, I will admit. If i remember correctly they had a larger selection of items than the usual 4 flavoured-ice cream assortment, and banana tempura. Though....the mousse cake tasted stale. I'm going to attribute this one to going during weekday lunch.
Overall this place was not the best place to go, but seeing how it's so far from downtown Mississauga, this may be one of your only places to go if you're craving a lot of sushi.
If not you can always check inSauga's list of top AYCE Sushi restaurants...HA
