    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Drove to Brampton to see what the hype was all about! Having a Drive-in AYCE was so exciting. Reservation process was so simple, 11am time slots opened for the day, and there were no issues getting a spot. Once we got there, we went inside to check in and a code to access the menu for ordering as well as a passcode was texted. You are given basically a starter kit: soy sauce, ginger, wasabi, spoons, forks, chopsticks and tissues. They also provided a large garbage bag to dispose your trash, and you simply leave this on the curb behind your car once you're done so they can properly throw it out. Everything was covid friendly, all the food was served and delivered so efficiently in craft boxes, or containers (not the most eco friendly but better to be sanitary and safe) The portions were decent, and on the menu, they told you exactly how many pieces came per item, which is always helpful! It can be so easy to over order when you're eating AYCE. The staff were so friendly and always came by to check to make sure things were going well. Note that there is 2hr limit, as most AYCE serve. It would be nice if they can notify you either through text or through the menu system, that your time is coming to an end or has ended, because we tried to place our last order for dessert and "code expired" showed up. Just a FYI. We came as 2 adults, with a child. We had ordered a few dessert items because the child was already done with dinner and wanted some ice cream, only to find out that once you order ice cream, that basically means you're "done". Again, our first time, we didn't know, so our orders after that was deleted. They explained the situation, that usually it means people are done, and they assume, most at just ordering again to take home (fair assumption because everything is just in your car, so it's harder to control) We were told we can place some more orders, but it would not be as much as stated on the menu. So make sure to order your dinner before ordering any desserts so you're not cut off. Over all, the experience was well. A bit of a drive for us, so it's a good option to have for AYCE during the pandemic.

They have an assortment of meat dishes, from chicken to beef to seafood. They even serve duck and lobster, although I have yet to try. The interior is quite welcoming and feels like a very old-school Chinese restaurant. The service is incredibly quick and they make sure to take your orders quickly, so if possible, try to look at the menu ahead of time or have an idea of what you want. We placed our orders and they gave us a nice hearty soup for free. It was a nice surprise. This time around, we ordered sauteed scallops, beef with Maggi sauce, and the Yeung Chow fried rice. Everything was excellent. The rice had amazing flavour, and I like any sort of fried rice that combines meat and seafood so that was a plus. The scallops were also cooked really well. The beef with Maggi sauce was the star for me. Salty and savoury and the mushrooms and onions go so well with it. I would recommend it if you like an intense salty flavour. They also gave us a red bean porridge for desert. It was just fine for me but it was complementary so I can't complain. Overall, an amazing place to have Chinese food and super affordable as well. The portions are quite generous so you'll definitely get your money's worth.

The prices have gone up a little bit over the years but that's normal with previous pandemic and inflation. It's still decent. I would say it's still the cheapest and most affordable dim sum place you can find in the area. They have the usual shrimp dumplings, siu mais, sticky rice with pork, bbq buns and plenty of other variety. We got quite a bit for lunch and also picked up some frozen ones so I can get my dim sum fixed at home. Hands down, I would be back when I run out of frozen dim sum even if it means driving 1.5 hrs to get here.

Well, at first I was a bit on the fence about ordering cause of the vegetarian/vegan menu, I like my meat, love meat, got to have my protein dammit! But wow! was I ever surprised and happy about following my gut and choosing to go there. You see, I'm from Vancouver, and if you know a bit about my hometown is that you know we have a very large asian population. Heck, I'd even go as far as saying it's my second language, (my first language is English and my parents are Chilean...never spoken a word of it) but I've been around it so much somehow, I feel I could get by given the chance. So, by examining the pictures from the online menu, I thought to myself; If the food is anything remotely like the pictures, it looks exactly like my fav spot in Vancouver - Congee Noodle King- also a must try if you're in east Vancouver. Just trust my absent Asian ancestry ok?! I ordered the N65. Fried Noodles with Steamed and Stir-Fried Bean Curd, and as a request asked them to make it spicy to which they happily and kindly obliged. This dish was packed with flavour. Oh em gee! Loaded with fresh crunchy veggies, the noodles were spot on: thin, velvety and a lot of them. Makes for some healthy slurps! Oh, did I mention the meat? No, I didn't, because it didn't have any, and I have never not missed something so much. The crispy fried bean curds tasted like deep fried spare ribs. My pupils dilated a bit. And that's ok cause I went into a food coma, got to heaven and wrote a review about the very first Asian restaurant I try in Toronto and I'm already planning to go back. If you give this place less than 5 stars you don't know food, Asian food or how to speak it so go on and chew on some meat! Thank you for the wonderful and friendly service as well. I shall return. How do you say that in Mandarin? Cheers! - Patricio
