| - My boyfriend and I just moved to Brampton from the Niagara region and have been attempting to find our new "sushi place". These attempts had led us to try out 168 sushi and their lunch menu. I have to say so it was a disappointment. We went there, ordered teriyaki, noodle soup, tempura, sushi rolls and nigiri and almost none of it stood up to par. First the noodle soup, both the Tom yum and seafood noodle had no flavour. The yam tempura was not actually deep fried in tempura batter but instead in a thick batter that tasted processed, or chemical and the deep fried scallops we ordered didnt taste fresh. The seaweed salad was warm and slightly mushy. The sushi and nigiri selections were not as grand as promised and in fact most tasted quite either dry, mushy (again) or we could not find the one we were looking for. Towards the end, I ordered ice cream and when I got my bowl there was a caked on piece of ... "green" thing?
On the positive side, we did actually enjoy some of the things we ordered. The beef dumplings were delicious, the beef teriyaki was amazing and the salmon nigiri was pretty good.
In the end the overall food wasn't the best. Maybe we just ordered all the things that they couldn't make right but it didn't turn out good anyways and left a bad taste in our mouths. If you are thinking of going to a sushi place and location is stoping you from going too far just go instead to the JCT fusion restaurant down the street at Kennedy square. They might not have what you want on paper, but when asked they will definitely make it for you.
