| - If you are looking for a place that serves all you can eat Gluten Free Asian cuisine, Riz is for you. They even have dishes marked Gluten Free as well as Gluten Free soy sauce.
The sushi was as good as any other all you can eat place - just more expensive because of all the additional items like Thai Curry and Dim Sum items.
Many items like Tempura, Siu Mai and Har Gow are on both menus, so they make the Gluten Free version for everyone.
Unlike most AYCE, you place your order with the wait staff item by item, not on a form.
Highlights were the Mango salad, Red Curry Sauce and Yam Tempura sushi.
Low points were the rice that came with the Curry - cold and hard Jasmine rice and the Coconut Sticky rice was mushy. Also, General Tso Chicken and Crispy Beef are cloyingly sweet with no spice, but half the tables had little kids so perhaps that's why.
For the weekend price ($32.99 for Gluten Free AYCE and $30.99 for regular AYCE), I thought there would at least be green tea ice cream or fruit for dessert and there was no way we were going to pay extra for a scoop of sorbet, would rather go for some fresh gelato.
They also charge extra for tea per person so if you don't really want it don't say yes to it.
All in all, if it weren't for the Gluten Free option, it wouldn't be worth the trip to Yonge and Lawrence especially for the price.
