| - First off, let me just say this is not my first time at the Dundas 168, but my most recent experience here was absolutely appaling. When we went in, my family and I were greeted by whom we believe either the manager or owner. As he directed us to the tables I asked him if we can get a booth instead, but he rudely brushed my off saying that their booth can only hold max 4 people. That is total bull because in the past we have sat in a large booth in the back of the restaurant that holds 8 people.
After my family and I began to order and the food began to arrive, we noticed that some items have been changed, and not for the better. The takoyaki was halved and extremely dry, and the chicken fried rice was extremely oily. Other than that, the sashimi and sushi dishes were great like always.
Nevertheless my family and I had a great time, but unfortunately what was initially delight for one of our go-to restaurants turned sour when our waitress came by toward the end of our meal. Apparently she saw me take a sip of my sister's iced tea (I only got a water) and became extremely upset telling me that there is a stern policy of not sharing drinks, and told me she would have to charge me for an extra drink. I was absolutely horrified that any individual or establishment would condone a customer of sharing a drink with their own family member. I thought about letting the manager know of this situation, due to the fact that we were a party of 5 spending well over $150 and they're telling me I can't have a sip of non-alcoholic iced tea? But judging by the manager's piss ass attitude when he was greeting us I doubt it'll do any good.
Now the food here is great and $25 dollar per person is very reasonable. However, food services is not just the food but the service as well. Other 168s have much better service with the same if not greater quality of food.
Therefore, my advice is that if you are ONLY looking to fill your tummy and don't give a crap how you are treated then this is the place. But if you don't want to be criminalized for taking a sip from your friend/family's drink then avoid this place like a plague, there are countless other sushi buffets.
