However since the move to Bridlewood Mall, it's gone downhill.\n\nWent here for Christmas Eve with a party of 5. Thankfully we reserved beforehand and had a table ready, as it was incredibly busy despite the snowstorm outside. \n\nWe ordered several items including takoyaki, miso soup, enoki beef roll, sashimi plate, and many of their weekend seared sushi specials. Unfortunately, aside from the weekend seared sushi specials, everything else ranged from average to really bad. For instance, the miso soup was cold when served. The enoki beef roll had enoki mushrooms that probably weren't even a millimetre in diameter. The takoyaki seemed to have been fried, rather than cooked using that special pan. There were other issues including missing orders and receiving food that we never ordered in the first place.\n\nI will, however, give credit where it's due. This is one of the few AYCE places that has the sushi/roll to rice ratio correct. The sushi isn't served with huge chunks of rice with the thinnest slice of fish possible.\n\nService was also good, at least the servers apologized for some of the food taking a while to come. However the ship has sailed with this AYCE place, and there are now numerous others in the Scarborough/Markham area that are superior to this place."^^ . .
