Expected just an average ayce sushi restaurant and got hit by one of our worst experiences.
1. The moment we sat down everyone else had 2 square tables , we had one. I reached to grab the solo square table next to me and they completely shut me down, refusing to give me a extra table even though this is an all you can eat meal and plates are bound to pile up. And what a surprise!!! The table wasn't used all night and not to mention there half of the other tables were not occupied either.
2. Food quality was below satisfactory even in ayce sushi standards. Tempura shrimp had a very unaunthentic batter and the shrimp tasted old or artificial. Sashimi did not taste fresh and you can tell their "torch" sushi is basically a way to cook off the sashimi that is going stale. All the rolls has way too much rice to a point where I had to start taking it apart myself so I'm not on taking 5 days worth of carbs in one meal.
3. Selection of foods was unimpressive and many items on the menu seem repeated with minor changes like avocado to cucumber.
4. They actually attempted to charge is extra money for a small part of a roll that we didn't finish because it just tasted really bad and quite frankly we were eating 90% rice, 5% sauce , 5% fish.
5. Waitresses seem to be untrained and lack manners.
Overall, the restaurant did not provide a good dining experience . $43 on a weekday can go towards much better food and service, or even just a better ayce sushi restaurant. I don't think I will ever return to this place again given the bountiful amount of ayce restaurants all around toronto now.
