I came here for lunch today expecting really great things given the Yelp praise, but all I can say is meh. It's $14.95 for lunch and $23.95 for dinner (any time). The dinner includes sashimi and a few other items. I saw other people's sashimi, and it looked very fresh. But that's quite a steep price compared to another AYCE sushi chain in Vaughan where unlimited sashimi is included with lunch.
Upon walking into 168, I noticed that there were tons of tweenies here. Probably college students. The interior looks very nice. Gangnam-style was playing in a loop in the background. We ordered a lot of the same dishes we order at other AYCE sushi restaurants, and also decided to include the two dim sum items on the menu.
The good:
- Shrimp tempura was very good.
- Dim sum was fast and good.
- Grilled zucchini was good.
- Red bean ice cream.
- Service was fast.
The bad:
Essentially everything else just wasn't up to par. The eel tasted fishy. The fish didn't taste as fresh. The edamame was overcooked and tasted old.
It's unlikely that we will come back.
