"4"^^ . "2"^^ . "In the last 10 years or so this is the second incarnation of a sushi place in this exact location. Both places just also happened to be AYCE. \n\nI find a lot of sushi AYCE places start out strong but towards their end, they slowly but surely go downhill. Usually the service starts to go downhill then the food follows, then the hunt for the next great sushi place begins anew. So is the life cycle for an AYCE sushi joint it seems in the GTA.\n\nThis place though seems to have a little bit more staying power I largely suspect due to the fact that the owner always seems to be around. Ever since the place first opened there is always a gentleman there. At first I assumed it was just the usual owner/manager keeping things in check then moving on to other things. But over time I noticed that nearly every time I went here, this same owner was doing something different. He would be making sushi one day, cleaning tables and serving the next. A few times I went here and didn't see him and thought he's finally taking a day off, but half way through my meal lo and behold I see him come out of the kitchen with an apron on I assume as he also cooks!\n\nIt goes a long way for me when I see the owner/manager wear so many different hats. Having said that, it's a great plus to see him around as when he is I know that I will be getting exactly what I ordered.\n\nThis place has menus where you can check off what you want on a piece of paper unlike a lot of newer places with their iPad. \n\nThe menu is a very good variety of your standard fare AYCE sushi. If you have a huge craving for great sushi I don't hesitate to recommend this place, as they are very consistent in what they deliver each order and each time i go.\n\nOther places, the first order may be great but after that, the sushi pieces can slowly become stuffed with more rice (filler) and less meat. Portions start to get smaller each order and eventually it will look like they just threw pieces together. A pretty standard tactic for AYCE that tells you you have over stayed your welcome, but I never saw the food quality degrade during a meal here. And having been here a number of times I can say whole heartedly that they are very consistent.\n\nI would say this place is a very solid 3.5 star out of 5. This is still an AYCE, so keep your expectations in check as it's not an omakase meal here.\n\nBut for an AYCE sushi place, this is probably one of the more consistent spots in the GTA. And with all the AYCE sushi places coming and going, it says a lot when someone says that this place is consistent in their food.\n\nThough be forewarned the service can be spotty, and mixed up orders do occur.\n\nAgain its an AYCE place, so I can't say it's the best ever, but it definitely hits the spot when i have a craving for an AYCE sushi.\n\nTIP: Bring cash as their is a 10% discount if you pay in cash."^^ . .
