| - Just noticed this, why are there two Osaka AYCE restaurant reviews of the same location on yelp... 747 Don Mills... Here was my review on the other yelp page, if it is any helpful at all:
3.5 stars.
Decor nice.
Service average.
Price reasonable.
Food quality, surprisingly, this is where I was surprised. My parents and I were trying to decide where to go around this area, East York, and we saw that Osaka had a 2.5 star review, but only two reviews at the time. My mom wanted to go to Matsuda or Ganoe on Don Mills, south of York Mills, but we had already tried Itamae, which is what Osaka was called before they changed names over the last year or so. I was like "itamae wasn't bad, but it wasn't memorable either, but since it changed names and probably owners, you have to give a new place a try and you can't always trust yelp", especially the 1 star review that my mom had saw, where the user only had 1 review on yelp.
Anyways, kinda got off topic, but we went and our first few items came, tasted good, and was put together well. Our dragon roll and some other special roll came, and the spicy salmon roll... I was not expecting the quality that they provided at this all you can eat. It was better than most a la carte restaurants that we go to, and much better than almost all AYCE sushi restaurants I've been to in Toronto. It was put together so nice, rolled nice and firm, with the perfect amount of rice (not a lot of rice, just enough to hold the roll together!), lots of filling, large amount of seaweed on the spicy salmon, the avocado was perfectly ripe and creamy, it was delicious. The steak was quality, perfectly medium rare pieces with a generous portion of sliced fried garlic with it, the shrimp tempura was as expected, but the yam tempura was HUGE and well done (although, nothing out of the ordinary for the batter they used). I think what really stood out and really makes this place stand out far above most AYCE is the quality of their special rolls and the maki. I can't really begin to describe how surprised I was when I saw it and began eating the rolls we got. The sashimi was good, fresh tasting, a nice size to all their portions, nothing to complain about.
Also read a review about rolls having too much rice, I think, if we got lucky that night and it was a one off, it was our lucky night, but give a "useful" approval if you were also surprised about the quality that went into every roll, and the steak... Mmm.
