Sushi Buffet in GTA

[blihp]

Famous Japan in Etobicoke has sushi buffet. Look it up in Yellowpages.ca. Raw salmon = good. I tried Sakura but their rice is too damn cold and hard in my opinion.

alright I tried Fune on Saturday and I wasn't too impress. Way overly expensive. The atomsphere was decent. For the buffet they don't have just raw meat; it has to be on the rice so I found that annoying. The selection of raw fish and seafood are decent. I went there because my girlfriend wanted to see the boat float around but that got boring quickly. So IMHO it was not worth $35 per person.

How much is the Buffet at Haruba?

I went when it first opened many years ago... I left actually because the sushi guy was reading a book on how to make sushi :S

[actng]

all these places you people are recommending... is it really good? I've been to Destiny and that 16th and Leslie AYCE and i think both sucked. It takes forever for them to bring the rounds and each round there is only so little sushi/sashimi.

Destiny used to be great before the ayce... they didn't have a lot of business then so there was greater attention to detail. Now there are too many people and the kitchen's not fast enough.

I think you pay for what you get. I rather shell out $50 for a really good feast of sashimi and sushi.

I like *** buffet.. bad thing is they all add 10% service charge to the bill.. it's no longer optional and you have ot pay taxes on tips! Anyway, be careful when you get the bill at Destiny because they round it off. Lets say your bill is $55.56 for everything calculated. They would put $56 on the bill. I found out and I paid the exact, then the waitress (actually should be one of the boss) told me I didn't pay enough. I told her it's only 10% and then she turned away.

Maybe you would think it's just less than $1.. who cares.. but as a customer I don't appreciate it.

Thats why I don't like going to 'Chinese' owned Sushi buffets. Gawd knows what they are feeding you. Salmon that is not Sashimi grade most definitely. Too cheap to vinegar the rice, and the lowest grade soya sauce they can find Yum Yum

In that case, you should try Asahi Japanese Restaurant (200 Carlton St Toronto). Neighbourhood is ghetto, but the food is pretty good - probably one of the better places I have visited.
I believe that the cost is still under $20 and is Japanese run. So, don't expect the service to be fast when you order 20 rolls at a time.

Syogun at 8261 Woodbine ave in Markham is pretty good too, they only serve sashimi at dinner though


anyone know a place that has all you can eat takoyaki?
mmm takoyaki

Do they also have one at Church & Bloor? I remember seeing a place with the same name and have a sign 17.99 all you can eat.. I drove by the 200 Carlton one and i didn't see any sign for All you can eat..

How are the selection there compare to the places uptown?

Best Sushi Buffet I must of been to was at Sushi Place on Queen St. W, juss east of spadina. Sunday - Thursday $17.99 i think. I could be wrong. YES UMI is the worst never am i goin back there again also sakura on don mills is terrible. There is this one sushi place, forgot what it's called but it's in yorkville gotta walk downstairs is pretty good.

Have not been to the all you can eat on Church/Bloor. I believe that place is called Asahi Sushi Zone. Don't believe it belongs to the same owner of Asahi on Carlton.

I would say selection is about the same as the ones uptown. There's usually a few items that one place may lack, but make up in others. It just depends on what you like. I went on a week night and was pressed for time. So, I didn't get to try out everything. The only concern is the wait between orders. The AYCEs uptown are fairly quick, but I would give the edge to Asahi in terms of quality. You got to try to find out.

BTW, I just tried Destiny the other day. I was surprised to see white tuna on the menu even though it was served in paper thin slices. Are there any other AYCEs that serve white tuna?

A little off topic, but there's a place called GAL Sushi on Highway7/Chalmers that serves a lunch special for $6.99. Lunch box with ~10 pieces of sashami, 6 pieces of maki, 6 sushi, rice, some type of noodle, plus the soup and salad. Not all you can eat, but not bad. Closed on Tuesdays. If there are other places like this please let me know. The AYCE places are killing me.

Isn't that place Yang's Sushi Bar?

Where is Inka?

If you go back to read the start of this topic, you will see that it's in Kennedy and hwy 7 inside the Peachtree plaza!
