| - About 3 years ago, when they just opened up they won the neighborhood over by offering good quality sushi for a very decent price, but few years later after they have opened a Chinese restaurant next door (yes it is by the same owner) and part of the management team switched over, things started sliding down. The service deteriorated fist, but food caught up with it over some time. It happened a lot when our orders were not prepared and other people's orders got delivered to our table. The waiters mostly look like they are doing you a huge favor by pouring some tea after the 100's request.
Food used to be alright for the AUCE* place, now it averaged to the lower end of the all-you-can-eat spectrum. There actually is a difference between dishes made for AUCE customers and for a la cart. In the latest you get a little bit more fish and it is executed somewhat more accurate. The last few times I have noticed that the fish is no longer the freshest and I can only imagine what goes into their maki and temaki. One of our friends actually complained once about having a food poisoning after going to dinner.
So, why 2 stars then? First, I still can navigate my way around the menu and compose a decent order(though mostly for take out these days) and second, they are still rather on a cheap side, given my appetite I manage to fit into 20-25$ bill for 2.
Also the decor is interesting though it starts to show some wear the tear and yes, they do deliver around Thornhill.
Anyway, if you are used to eating sushi at the mall kiosks and other AUCEs this place is ok with lunch at 12.99(till 4:30) and dinner at 18.99, but if you know better my advise would be to go somewhere else.
*AUCE = all you can eat
