| - After reading some of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to visit Sushi One, but I'm so glad I did. The visit left a very positive impression on me!
We went on a Friday around lunch hour and the place wasn't quite full. The All-You-Can-Eat was $17 per person, which was more than I anticipated, and I joked with my spouse, "$17? It better be good..." Let me tell you, the quality more than made up for it. First of all, the service was very prompt. We were halfway through our miso soup when the first *plate* of sushi came by, and we were stunned at the speed. Dishes streamed out quickly after that. The edamame was firm but well steamed and the tempura was really hot and orderable in single pieces. Throughout the meal, our finished dishes were quickly cleared, tea refilled, and at one point a waiter noticed we had a lull in our eating - no more than 5 minutes - and asked if we were missing anything. He got that udon out of the kitchen right away.
The sushi also came incredibly quickly. There were 4 sushi chefs at the counter instead of the usual 2 or 3 I've always seen at similarly sized AYCE places, and the sushi was the right size: able to be consumed in one mouthful. The wasabi was extremely powerful and so delightful; at most places it's weak, and at worst mushy, but this wasabi had body and tingled my nostrils. What impressed me most was the fact that their nori (seaweed) was TOASTED for my handrolls. It was crispy, and had a faint warmth that gave my handrolls a satisfying crunch. Most of the time when I order handrolls they quickly become a little soggy from the steam coming off the rice, so Sushi One gets full marks for little details like the toasted nori, it was just such a nice touch! The maki was pleasant too, as even a "basic" tuna roll was still complemented with avocado and crab meat in good proportions.
The only downside was that there wasn't any unagi (eel) sushi on the AYCE menu. Perhaps there is on the à la carte one. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal there and am thrilled to live nearby. I anticipate a monthly visit from now until I move away, as sushi is my favourite but I haven't the luxury to drive anywhere in this cold weather. This is definitely the place in Willowdale to get your AYCE sushi fix - after an intense workout, on a lazy Saturday, or with friends who share similar enthusiasm for good fish and a hearty meal.
