For meat, they have chicken, steak, beef rolls, mushroom beef rolls, and short ribs. You can also order sushi. Their sushi selection was decent. I like how they have octopus and squid. My favourites! Noodles, rolls, and various kitchen stuff round out the menu.
Since I consider this a teppanyaki restaurant, I don't put much weighting on sushi menu. But it's passable if it was just a regular sushi AYCE place. All the items on their sushi menu can be found almost anywhere. We didn't order much from the sushi menu. But it certainly didn't hurt the score I'm giving it. It's a nice option.
The teppanyaki experience was passable. If you're considering going, you should ask yourself why you want teppanyaki. If you want a show where the chef does tricks, Maki Sushi is NOT the place to go. Maki Sushi's teppanyaki is decent value for delicious food. If you want a show, you need to go to more upscale places. The food will probably taste the same though as Maki uses pretty high quality ingredients. The chef does exactly one trick, and that is to set the table on fire. Looks cool.
Maki loses points on being lame on ordering. If you arrive early, you have to wait maybe 20 minutes for everyone to place their order and also for the kitchen to prep the stuff. The wait didn't bother me as much as how they keep screwing up our portions. Don't bother asking for multiple portions. If feels like they will give you the same portion no matter what. So it's not as "AYCE" as they advertise. They only do 2 rounds of cooking. They actually forgot to give me vegetables. I know scallops can be a little expensive but being stingy somewhat ruined my experience. And how do you forget to give me vegetables? Maybe it's because we had a Groupon? Or maybe I was the only one who wanted vegetables so it was not worth the effort of prepping it in the kitchen?
In between waiting, you'll probably end up ordering some sushi. Which is what happened. On the bright side, everything we ordered was delicious.
As usual, I don't mind bad service too much. I generally only care about the food. The experience is what I make of it with whoever I'm with. So I can overlook this ordering fiasco because the prices are not bad at all. Teppanyaki is about $29 pre tax. It's a bit more expensive than your regular sushi buffet but I think it's worth it for the seafood stuff. And there's something about watching food cooked in front of you that's satisfying. There are several teppanyaki places in GTA but most are not AYCE, and many of them are significantly more expensive. Maki Sushi is the place to go if you want AYCE teppanyaki at a reasonable price.
