| - It's located in a plaza called Skymark Plaza on Don Mills and Finch, close by to Seneca College and its in the same plaza of No Frills
I decided to come here because some of the reviews seem decent, and the price of $26 was average for everywhere. Drinks not included and you would need to pay additional for pop, but tea and water was free!
My first impression of the restaurant renovation, was it looks modern and it can cater to large groups with different table settings that you don't see in many AYCE restaurants. I stood at the front door for awhile waiting to be seated, and finally someone came by and brought us to a booth. ( Most booth were filled with people )
Service-waitress 5/5
Very good service and attentive. Always came by to take in your orders, and collecting finished plates. no complaints
Food-sushi/Sashimi/Rolls
They carry your typical ayce choices along with Scallops and Sweet Shrimp! ( which we were REALLY excited to try )
we ordered the following
Sashimi-Salmon, seared Salmon, Surf Clam, Scallops, Sweet Shrimp, Red Snapper, Mackerel
**My seared salmon never came instead I got seared white tuna.
I have to say the sashimi tasted really low quality, and for some odd reason by scallop and sweet shrimp looks half cook or that something has cooking it. The color was kind of off - all sashimi had a warm taste and it was covered in water - it just didn't taste pleasant, we ordered a second round of sashimi..same thing
Rolls- Our roll order was forgotten on the FIRST ticket..mmm..we ordered their signature roll..it was really meh....and the nori was chewy
handroll- the Nori was very soft when it came...portion of rice to filling..rice more..filling a bit..no good
Hot Food- beef roll enoki, and green onions, short ribs, grilled shrimp, grilled cutlet, grilled mushroom, grilled beef, grilled chicken heart, etc etc ( The shrimp did not taste fresh again ) but overall the beef were all pretty good !
( or 2nd order some of the grill items were once again forgotten !!!! they weren't even full for the evening !! )
Apps- Green Salad, pickled bitter melon - they use the Japanese sesame dressing and the salad is not drenched in water therefore it was good, and surprisingly i don't like bitter melon but this was the only dish I ate most that night its good if you can bear the taste of bitter melon.
Deserts - Pretty much tried everything except the cakes! but there was nothing spectacular about the deserts at all.
They accept credit card payments and service charge is not added on the bill. We were given a Frequent Diner Card where you buy 9 buffets and you get 1 free, each stamp equals to one person
Overall I would not come back to, and would prefer going to other places that is the same price but have better food quality.
The one star is for service and the other is for the grill station
