The food was great. There were so many options and all of them were hot and I think worth the price. The drinks are insanely expensive, though, and I didn't even like it that much. The service was fantastic and they were really nice about everything. It was clean and the interior was so nice. The atmosphere was great and I'd love to come back.

AYCE Dinner $40 pp on a Wed night
Sam A.

As a non-sushi eater but has friends who like sushi, this place still had an array of items for people like me. The options were enough (for me) but nothing really crazy and I don't think there's anything I felt that was worth ordering twice. I wish they had more noodle options other than udon. The hot and sour soup is a no. It's my fave but the broth here was way too thin. It was literally like a clear broth. I ate the tofu and left the soup. Yam tampura was nice and crispy and great texture. The sauce they bring with it, did not pair well and I left that. The beef ribs were a good flavour but a little tough. Hooly Chicken taco was good but I wish they would put a description of what's in it. As a chicken taco I would assume there was no "sea" product involved. As a person who has a shellfish allergy (not severe) it would be good to know that there is an eel sauce on top. I know eel is not a shellfish but I like to be safe than sorry, as I've never had eel. Luckily before I could eat it, they offered to remake it without the eel sauce and it was good! The tenderloin steak was actually really good. Tender and nice flavour. I could eat a meal of just this with rice lol. I was sad that the cheese wontons had imitation crab. I know it's imitation but I still don't wanna fux with it. I love cheese wontons :(. The desserts are like a 2/5. The cakes were all terrible. Super dry and stale. Don't order the cake trio. My go to fried banana mixed with vanilla ice cream never disappoints, so this was ok. The sponge cake was nice and not. It was just ok. I wouldn't get it again but it wasn't the worst. Again, I can't speak on the sushi but my one friend comes here all the time, so it must be good enough. I personally would not come here by choice but I don't mind coming here, if my friends want to. We went on a Wed night and service was fast and great.

I went during lunch time. The skewers were okay. I liked the chicken not the beef. Dessert is too sweet. The spicy salmon rolls are good. Salmon sushi is nice. The tempura is not worth it. I went during lunch time. The service is nice. They a server robot that kept coming to my table and scaring me and making me think i ordered more food. The place is cozy and nice.

Mushroom tempura and deep fried shrimp dumplings
Shabbir S.

Actually 3.5 stars. The menu offers a quite good variety of choices. However, some of the items have lots of scope to improve. Service and ambiance is just about average. We went on a weekend evening, the restaurant was almost full. The entrance and first impression was not that great. About the food, the deep fried squid was really good, mushroom tempura was also good. The hot and sour soup was just plain black pepper hot and lacked the expected taste. Beef tataki really disappointed me, it was too dry, blunt and didn't taste fresh. Shrimp yakitori was good and nicely fried. Beef skewer has scope to improve.

top to bottom: salmon tataki, white tuna tataki, smoked salmon tataki (must order)

I'm a little bit obsessive when it comes to ensuring that I spend money only on food that is going to be worth it so I am being literal when I say I read hundreds of reviews both on Google and Yelp before deciding it would be worth it to dine here :D I even made a list of items to order ahead of time to ensure that I wouldn't be too distracted once I arrived to remember to order what would make my heart sing! Luckily for me and for you, they list out with 90% accuracy what will be on both the lunch and dinner menu on their website. It will likely never be 100% accurate due to the multiple locations, supply chain problems due to a pesky virus, and just plain having items run out during the day so please be understanding of that if you encounter that situation. -[WHAT WAS GREAT] *(salmon tataki salad): very small portion which is good because it leaves more room for you to enjoy other things and refreshing due to the dressing and the sliced mango *(broccoli tempura): each of these were the size of baseballs so order with caution but they were still delicious *(crab stick tempura): I love the crunchiness of the batter and how well it soaks up the tempura sauce so highly recommend this if you love crab sticks like I do *(asparagus bacon roll): I didn't try this but my friends ordered this immediately again after trying it and they looked like they were in loveeee *all of their sashimi was A++++ and served on ice *(smoked salmon tataki sashimi): this is the ONLY PLACE I have ever encountered this dish (and I go to loads of Japanese restaurants regularly) but my goodness, it would be a mistake for you to not try this because it was AMAZING *(torched sushi): I am all for the torched sushi that is offered bere because I ordered one of everything and each piece was awesome! The flavors were prominent and the rice to fish ratio was perfect for meeee *the service was amazing too! I had read some reviews that said it took 45 minutes for their first dishes to arrive but I did not find that to be even remotely the case when I went :O Food began arriving within minutes of ordering so much so that our entire table was covered with plates of food before I realized how much we had ordered haha -[WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED] *let me make a reservation even if you believe I will be guaranteed a table :( I just want to know for my own sanity that I do have a table because of a reservation! It didn't end up being a problem because we went early but I would have appreciated if they had just taken my reservation when I initially called *ability to display that items are unavailable on their iPad when ordering to prevent sadness

California Maki Roll, Spicy Crispy Roll and Alaska Maki Roll
Pamela R.

Being pregnant in 2021 didn't give me much choices in regards to take-out or indoor dining options but August 8 definitely helped many of my cravings. From their big portion Sushi bowls to Dim Sum, I had a variety of options to choose from. Their Sushi rolls/maki aren't the best but they are pretty good for a quick late night bite as they are open late compared to many places in Brampton. Their Customer Service is exceptional especially the measure they took during the pandemic. Kudos to them as it definitely harsh reality we live in. This will remain my go to place for a quick bite in Brampton.

Isuru V.

One of the best all you can eat places. Lots of variety including shushi, fried rice, dumplings, ... etc This is my 5th time to this place Parking is really difficult. There is free parking in front of the restaurant but finding one is tricky. You may have to park little bit far and walk. (Not too bad) Friendly staff Highly recommend

Tobiko sushi
Lula G.

Quick delivery service The sushi was pretty good. The lotus leaf sticky rice was really good as well. Dim sum is always comfort food Good price and great portions!!!

pressed and torched goodies! I forgot their actual names lol
Jane R.

Love this place! My cousin took me here when I visited and man, what's not to love?! I appreciate their small portions because a lot of times, at least a few years ago, when you order something from an AYCE that's not sushi, they give a big portion (big bowl of udon, big bowl of rice, big sesame ball), but sometimes, I'm the only one eating it, so I appreciate that I could order literally just 1 wing if I wanted lol. The place is clean, the food comes in quick, the staff are nice, and the food is yummy. My little nephew loves pizza...like...all time fave food. After he had some pressed and torched sushi...he's converted. I mean, a kid loving sushi over pizza...what?! lol! I wish I could go back here again and again.

Very good and unique experience with this all you can eat drive in concept. We arrived at around 8:00 something, checked in and paid. They provided us with a plastic bag that included soya sauce, utensils, wasabi, and ginger. Almost like a starter kit. And directed us to a parking spot. My suggestion is if you have a tray or any car dining tray, bring it with you. I kind of DIY mine with a calendar so it was easier for me to eat as a table. We started ordering on the link on their website and 10 items per order. But you can order multiple quantity on the same item. The food ranges from dim sum, har gwa, curry squid, salmon sashimi, surf clams, smoked salmon, torched salmon sushi, torched ika sushi, tobiko sushi, eel sushi, salmon rose sushi and the list goes on. And hot items such as fried scallops, shrimp rolls. A good range of items and typical all you can eat quality. The smoked salmon tasted pretty unique as it's as thick as the salmon sashimi and good strong smoky flavour. Definitely worth a try! The items came at a decent speed. Good for a date night and feels a little bit like eating on a plane too. With this drive in experience and the breeze. Definitely something different and worth a try!

August 8 - Dim Sum + Sushi AYCE Front Entrance at Bramalea City Centre
Mike H.

Sometimes you have an AYCE sushi craving. Other times it's dim sum. At August 8, you can dine on both! Since inception in Hamilton, it has caught on with locations creeping into the GTA. We visited the newish restaurant at Brampton's Bramalea Mall. The mall has been revamped to give it a bit of class. The eye-catching August 8 wall is hard to miss. Took some time to be seated inside the restaurant, which has multiple dining areas with unique decors. Tablet ordering is efficient, though ours wasn't initially setup till we asked. The assortment of platters quickly arrived however. Sashimi, siu mai, dumplings & buns portions were small. Guess that's quite ideal for average quality AYCE. A few other highlights: Scallops were mildly sweet & plumb in the sashimi and salad appetizer. Avoid the taco & calamari which were over-fried & dry. The torched sushi & rainbow roll with salmon, snapper, tuna and butterfish had terrific flavour from the sweet soy sauce & hint of smokiness. The aburi sushi selection was equally tasty. Better than plain rice bowls that were ordered by a few other tables! AYCE dining is priced around $30-32 on evenings, and $1.40/year for children (over 2). For birthdays, they gave a special slice of mille cake which we enjoyed with several layers of crepe and ice cream. My wife quite liked the meal so we'll be back next time one of us has a craving for sushi and the other for dim sum.

Salmon poke bowl $12.99 (a la carte)  SO LOADED!
Rovelyne P.

Never been to August 8 in a loooooong time mostly because the prices have gone way so much over the past few years. Not just in August8 but overall in general. So luckily they offer A La-Carte. I was craving sushi soooo much but I wanted something just within the budget for a quick break so I opted for their poké bowl. I got their salmon poke bowl for $12.99 + tax And was surprised with the amount of salmon I got!!!! From what I remember, it also had seaweed salad, masago, edamame, corn & avocado. I didnt get a chance to take picture at the beginning but here's a picture when it was already half eaten. Look at the amount of salmon still left! Such a good value and would definitely order again!

Torched Sushi
Diana T.

With such a high rating, I was expecting above standard quality of restaurant. The three stars are for the service and the ambiance of the place. The service was very good, the food came fast. The waiters were very friendly, polite and efficient. The restaurant has modern design, ipad ordering system on the table, and robot delivery "personnel". However, the food itself was just okay and nothing special other than the plating.

See all

This is a no-frills dim sum place at Queensway and Dixie in the plaza beside the motorcycle shop…read more Food (3.5/5) - pretty good selection of items - appetizers, mains, dim sum dishes... all very reasonably priced and size. - Har Gow - it was a pretty standard shrimp dumpling - not bad and good size... shrimp was cooked well and sizeable - Pork Shrimp Siu Mai - it was ok and once again pretty standard, maybe lacked some flavour imo - Shrimp Cheung Fun - i've had better but it was ok overall... bit too sticky texture - Taro Pork Spring Roll - once again average - lacked flavour and the outside wasn't that thin crispy texture in others Service (4.25/5) - it was pretty fast... all the way from ordering to getting dishes to finishing up. Servers were friendly. Atmosphere (3.5/5) - it's a little bit on the run down side but seemed clean. Basic tables, chairs and decorations. Overall (3.75/5) - It's a good spot for value dim sum in Mississauga imo. Definitely no-frills however at $4.50 a dish for dim sum, I probably paid about the same for 4 dishes here as I did for one dish of that artfully decorated fish looking dumplings at Lai Ha Ween!

This is undoubtedly one of the best Chinese restaurants in Brampton. Everyone I've brought here has…read moresaid the same--it's one of the best dining experiences they've had. The fried chicken is an absolute must-try. It's on the saltier and slightly spicy side, but if that suits your palate, you'll love it. It's incredibly crunchy, flavorful, and satisfying. The fried rice is also excellent--comparable in taste to what you'd find at Congee Queen. The portions are generous; one plate could easily feed two people. What keeps me coming back is the "Meal for Two" combo, which is a fantastic value at under $60. If I remember correctly, it includes dumplings, fried rice, fried chicken, General Tao chicken, and spring rolls. Every item is cooked to perfection and full of flavor. If you haven't been yet, I highly recommend giving it a try.

Tried Green Bite after a friend recommended it, and we had a great early dinner here with family…read more We shared Pan Fried Pork Dumplings, Steamed Chicken Dumplings, Mongolian Beef, Shanghai Noodle with Chicken, and Chicken Wings. Service was honestly one of the best I've had in a while. The staff were friendly, responsive, and knew how to read the room. I also really appreciated how well they made use of the space. A lot of places this size end up feeling like takeout joints with tables, but this one was cozy and thoughtfully put together from top to bottom. Now onto the food. Overall, everything was good, but the wings were easily the standout. Perfectly fried, seasoned with just the right amount of spice and heat, and absolutely addictive. If you're coming here, ordering the wings isn't optional. They're a must. Other dishes, like the noodles and Mongolian beef, were a bit on the mild side for my taste. Maybe I'm just used to something with more kick, but they leaned a bit safe. Not bad at all, just felt like there was room to push flavor further, especially after tasting how well they nailed the wings. Dumplings were hearty and filling. I personally prefer a thinner wrapper, but these had a wholesome, satisfying quality that still worked. If the area is the reason they're keeping things mild, I get it. But I'd love to see what they could do in a more adventurous food neighborhood. Either way, it's a solid spot and I'd be happy to come back if I'm nearby.

This Congee Queen is located in the Heartland Town Centre shopping area. It is a large location…read morewith many tables with an area for larger groups or when the restaurant get busier. It is a nice local spot to get your Chinese food cravings fixed. Their menu seems to be the same for all locations, the only difference being the price, all locations potentially the same other than the downtown location. See their website: https://www.congeequeen.com/menu.php and select your location. It has been a while since we have eaten at the Congee Queen outside of the Toronto (Dundas/Yonge) location, so we were a bit surprised at the price difference (8-10% difference). This location (Heartland Town Center) feels like it has the right price for the menu. With cash, you also get a 10% discount. We were here on a Wednesday for an early dinner around 15:30 - 17:00 and it was about medium full for the main area. People were coming and going at a good pace. For our group of four, we ordered: - B3 Salmon Congee $11 ($12 downtown) - H11 Chicken Salted Fish Fried Rice $18.25 ($19.75 downtown) - K34 Fried Bean Curd with Veggie $19.50 ($21.50 downtown) - K42 Salt and Pepper Squid $16.50 ($18.25 downtown) - K53 Fried Chili Turnip Cakes $13.75 ($15.00 downtown) Service was a bit slow, but not the longest as there were only 2-3 staff taking orders that day for about 15-20 tables. If you signaled for assistance, they will come. Once ordered thought, the food came out in about 5 mins and all the dishes were ready soon after. Tea is refilled on request, just ask. As usual, the fried rice and congee is what they are known for, it was excellent as usual. Depending on the group you go with, YMMV, but for our order combination, this usually works comes out at the same time and everything is hot and tasty. The turnip cakes are the softer type and they even accommodated checking for shrimp. They are usually good about seafood checks. All in all, great experience. With the discount and tips all in, it was less than $100 total at $25 per person. It has been a while since we've eaten out with a group at that price point. Will keep in mind to meetup at any of the non downtown locations in future.
