This was my first ayce sushi AND dimsum place I've ever been to and it was pretty good. The dimsum selection is quite small but they have the basics. The har gow was delicious for a ayce place,siu mai is small... my friend ordered 3 chicken feet !!! He later got one with his ice cream desert lol! Overall it was a good experience, a nice restaurant! I'd definitely take a date or my family here. Atmosphere 5/5 Service 5/5 Food 4/5 P.s it's near H&M entrance of bramlea mall. read more

I order uber eats from this place and have dined in as well. Service is quick and great and my food is always perfect.

Came here to try a new sushi restaurant - and the service was great. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time, by the time we left there was a huge crowd waiting for tables. Now onto the Pros: -We ordered standard dishes using their iPad system -Their decor is really nice and easy to feel comfortable -Service was really good, they clearly are attentive and easy to flag down Cons: -The dim sum selection was pretty bleak as was the sashimi options too. -Some of our items never came- so we just asked about them to a server and they were able to get them to us. Overall, if you're in the area and craving ayce sushi this is a good place. Considering it's right next to a mall it's not bad. Their service was good and attentive. Very nice atmosphere and decor. read more

Haven't posted on Yelp for a while but I thought it would be worth it to share this positive experience I had at August 8 in BCC. My sister and I ate here on a Friday night, and the service was great. The waiters/waitresses/management were nice and friendly. So, at the end of our AYCE meal, out waitress comes and hands us the bill. Prior to this, I had an idea of what the bill would be. So anyways the bill came, and I paid. It seemed a like a bit much, but I didn't really think about it. So now, my sister and I are on the road to go to another store, and on our drive I say to her that I think I was over charged... But I left my receipt there (which is something I never do), and now I have no proof or anyway to look over the bill. So 15mins later, we make our way back and I go in to talk to the manager. I calmly explain the situation, and what we had gotten (two AYCE meals, two frozen drinks). The manager was nice about it, and asked what table I was sitting in, he took about 2-3mins to reprint the bill, and we looked it over together. And it was Completely MY Fault. I didn't look at the HST. And I felt really dumb. I apologized multiple times and the manager seemed like we wasn't mad/upset with me at all. Long story short, I thought they overcharged me for my meal, turned out they didn't and I just didn't looked at the bill properly (I still feel so dumb about this) and the manager was nice about MY mistake. I will definitely come back here, because their food and services are good (though they are a bit on the expensive side), and I overall had a positive experience. read more

I had visited the Oakville branch before and I can say that they are far better than the Brampton branch. When I entered the restaurant there was a man standing near the bar, I guess he was the manger but it felt to me he was more like a Military guy is telling me what I should be doing there. He showed us our table and asked if its our first time or not. At the end he tells me that please try not to order everything at once, try to order one at a time. I guess he should leave that to the customer what they want to order and how much they want to. It was a bad start at this branch but I guess the servers were far better than the manager. They always had a smile, asked if we were okay with the food and if I need anything else. The food was not bad they have some good sushis and dim sums. In my opinions this is the first sushi place that also makes good Dim Sums. My favourite is the Beef Dim Sum. If you are someone who wants more variety for sushi then this place is not for you. Don't forget to order the Sponge Cake with Mango Ice Cream, dessert was the best thing at this place. Food: 4.0 Service: 2.0 Decor: 3.5 read more

I went to August 8 a lot in Hamilton and was excited when one opened up closer (not really that close) to me! The entrance is a little confusing because I entered on the left side of the patio then had to walk around and I felt like an idiot. I then saw the sign that they don't take debit or Amex but thankfully they had a ATM right in the lobby so I just took cash out right away. There was only a $0.75 service charge. I was seated right away, I like how the tables for 2 are usually booths so you get a lot of privacy compared to Heart Sushi where everything is so open. August 8 runs on an iPad ordering system which I love because it's so much faster since it's sent right to the kitchen! The menu was big but there's simple things they were missing such as Avocado Salad. I liked how they had a big AYCE Dim Sum menu since most places only has 3 options! I think I ate more Dim Sum than I did sushi. Overall, I liked the experience and would return back to August 8 despite the drive. Weekend dinner price is $30.99 read more

Will I come back to this place? Never again. The sushi was trash, and the dim sum tasted microwaved. This was easy. A 1 star. iPad was lagging and would freeze after every item we pressed. Trust when we go hard at AYCE sushi. Saturday afternoon after 3 had to pay for dinner. Which is fine, but for $27.99 for microwaved dim sum? Your joking? Here's how sushi places work now. You pick what u want, send it. The chef cooks it, the server places it on your table then you eat, the server then takes your plate away. Simple right? But which makes it difficult for the servers at August 8th is to recognize your glass is empty. I asked them 4 times to refill my glass. Until this other waitress noticed and filled my cup Okay the food... I order everything, nothing was amazing, but more okay. It's better at another place, oh this is chewy, over cooked. the best thing about the place is when you get the bill and finally get to leave. I go to a lot of sushi spots and this spot is probably the worst I've been too. Overall everything not a great experience. And will never come back again. Believe me. read more

food is as good as it gets! also love the ambiance and the customer service is great. The servers are very professional and help you out. I am not a big sushi fan but this place made like sushi. also, would defs suggest you to try their Udon noodle soup (chicken) its amazing. concluding: good food and good people. loved my experience go try if you didn't already. read more

The restaurant decorations were elegant, really enjoyed the environment and atmosphere. The food was pretty good, well decorated in cute plates. Dimsum was alright, not as good as their sushi in my opinion. Their beef mushroom rolls were DELICIOUS ! They put an asparagus inside which made the roll crunchy and tasty. Highly recommended! The only con I would say is the price lol. I've been to many AYCE sushi places, this one is probably one of the most expensive restaurants. We went there for lunch on Tuesday, it was $16. And I believe it's gonna be around $30 for weekend dinner? I understand why it's kinda expensive, but it's a little bit pricey for people like me who have sushi every weekend lol. Anyway, I had a good time at this restaurant, hope y'all will like it too! read more

There are definitely cheaper places to go but I feel like there's more variety to choose from here. I like how it's placed in the middle of BCC. On their website it said reservations only so we made a reservation. They open at 12:00. They check your temperature there and the machine for it is pretty cool, you do have to stand a bit close for it to work. Masks are mandatory until you are seated. There's a lil sushi robot that goes around. The aesthetic of the place is really nice. read more

August 8 - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

Came to this location on mothers day and I must say that everything was on point! We had the dinner menu for $28.99 but you can BE SURE that I got my moneys worth! My waistline definitely grew 5 inches after I left! I ordered an entire pig of Siu Mai and a farmload of Har Gow! I tried to kill all of their salmon and tuna sashimi and it was all cut with precision and the presentation was on point as well! The medium rare steak cut was tremendous along with their tempura, salads, ice creams, rice, squid, and probably some other stuff I am forgetting but it was all sooo damn good! I will be coming back here next time I am craving Sushi AND Dim Sum at the SAME TIME! WORTH IT! read more

Very good/friendly service even though they seemed a bit under staff (very quick and efficient). Dim sum items were limited but just as good as the sushi items. My fav was the torched sushi. read more

August 8 - Japanese Near Me - Brampton, Ontario

It has a nice atmosphere, service is speedy and the food is decent, but by no means is it high quality. I would suggest this restaurant to someone who is very hungry and looking for food at an affordable price, or a group of friends looking to have a fun meal. read more

I got a Groupon for dinner for 2 for all you can eat at August 8. I didn't have high expectations for this place since it's a Groupon deal I'm assuming they're trying to drum up business. First August 8 is located at Bramalea City Center Mall. I've been to that mall before it was renovated. Wow it now so nice and just as big as Square One and Sherway/Yorkdale. I didn't think it would be busy so I didn't make reservations but when I call they said the wait is 20 mins to 45 mins. Got to this massive mall and had to locate the restaurant. I try to avoid restaurants in mall for the reason of fighting people for parking. I got there at 6:30 pm and the mall was packed. Took me 15 minutes to find a spot. We then went to ask for a table. They said it'll take 45 mins. I saw that there were tonnes of empty tables in the dining area. Not sure why they're making everyone wait. The good thing about this restaurant is that it's connected to the mall which is amazing. Only issue is you need to come back to check to see if your table is ready. They won't allow you to call to check your spot in line nor will they text you to let you know your table is ready. Which I found very counter productive. So we roam the mall for 45 Mins and came back where our table was ready. I told them about my Groupon which was not an issue. I went with my two 8 year daughters. So one got charged the adult price for the dinner for 2 Groupon and the other one got charged the kids price. We ordered from an iPad which I loved, very fast and efficient method. The service was fine, we got what we needed however we had to ask a few time to get it. I love how the items came in small quantities so they you can try one of everything. Food was not fantastic but it was still pretty good. I would only come back if I bought another Groupon. I would not pay full price to eat here. All in all an ok not horrible experience. read more

This restaurant is located inside the Bramalea City Centre. Well technically it's part of the mall but the entrance is from the exterior facing Queen street (north west side) between the Pickel Barrel and Sears close to Forever 21. One of the exterior walls didn't even look like it was finished yet. I don't know how new this place actually is. I was meeting some friends for a Friday night dinner and we were coming from all over so we made it a bit of a later start instead of our usual time. This was my first time to any of the August 8 restaurants and while I've been to my fair share of AYCE sushi places this place seems to be comparable in quality and service to say K&B in Etobicoke. The decor looks classier and although the interior tones are darker such as browns and blacks the place is well lit and neatly furnished. There are some walls that seem bare though, some that have shelves with nothing on it but besides that really it's just a bonus to have a nicer looking place than some of the other AYCE places I've been to which seem cramped and noisy. If anything our group was the noise makers - you know who you are... The portions are generous although I found the nigiri to have a lot of rice and they weren't flattened as much as I'm used to and seemed to be more "ball" shaped. As expected the ordering is done through an iPad and anybody that's been to AYCE knows the deal, point and tap and tap and tap. Greediness can get the better of you at a place like this if you're a starved group of food loving consumers like this group was and I almost hate to admit it but I think we lost this battle as far as AYCE goes. I am ashamed that although I put up a good fight, I can admit defeat when it's the truth. It's safe to say we all came in with good intentions and those intentions were to take no prisoners, order a lot and kill it. We ordered so much the servers had to start pulling tables together to our two tables because we had nowhere else to put everything that was coming out. At one point our kind server asked us if they could suspend everything else that was in queue. We agreed. That's a loss in my books. Despite the fact that our greedy eyes are bigger than our stomachs we did well for the most part. Seaweed salad, a variety of hot food such as wings, katsu, kalbi, dim sum and other small dishes started us off and we were all gung ho but then the rolls and nigiri came and came and came over and over and over and we were like Sun Tzu had our number before we even began. We had caused our own defeat Pwned by sushi at August 8 More than we could consume Between the maguro nigiri (OMG they had this at an AYCE place?), unagi, salmon, torched stuff, we didn't even get to our sashimi because that was part of what we had conceded to which when we were begging for mercy. OK so we behaved badly but we weren't punished by August 8. If anything our punishment was self inflicted and August 8 was gracious in their dominance of our team. Pwned as we had been, we were still able to walk away. What I learned from this experience is that even the best can go down - hard and without remorse but at the end of the day all is forgiven and hot damn if they didn't have some of the best looking and tasting tataki I've ever had. Good stuff here and I'd definitely go back to any of their locations. I learned from this AYCE experience. I was humbled and was not left wanting... any more food that is. read more

UNSANITARY! There was a woman's long hair in my edamame, and even though I said I don't eat meat, they put meat in my sticky rice rolls. The place was also not busy when I came in (meaning only a few people seated and nobody at take out, I was getting take out). It took quite a long time to prepare my order and I didn't order a lot. Also, the guy who brought my order out, just placed it on the counter at the bar and walked away. He didn't call my name or ask if the customer was present, he just placed it on the counter and walked away and I had to walk up to another staff member and say that I think the order is mine. I sent this feedback to the head office via e-mail and they never replied to say sorry, or even to say they received my feedback, Terrible, and they don't care. I wish Spring Rolls was still there. August 8 sucks. read more

Was craving sushi, and as a sushi lover, felt super left out since everyone I knew went here without me! Nonetheless, I tried it and it was okay. Once seated my friend and I noticed we were not given an ipad menu. Our server kept walking pass by us not even acknowledging the fact we had no menu, however, she did come by and ask us what we wanted to drink lol. Anyways asked her to give us a menu and she looked super confused and proceeded to ask us if we're doing all you can eat....um isn't this place AYCE? And why didn't she ask us this when she was walking us to our table like giiiirl I'm HANGRY just give me the menu already! Also our food came out all at once and we were seated at a very small booth with not much room. This was quite challenging. There was one server that kept trying to shove a plate on the corner of my side of the table when clearly there was ZERO room. He also wasn't very bright as there was a pile of dirty dishes we neatly made for him so he can take it and make more room for our table..... All in all, service could use a little a work, the food was good I do prefer this place more than Heart Sushi in Mississauga. My favourite from here is there SUSHI PIZZA! I'm not a sushi pizza person but definitely try it! Super worth it! read more

Whack, I ordered food a few times from here unfortunately, the problem here is that they like to put your food by the door, so if you hot food also it will be cold and there usually is no one there (hosted) so you have to wait while your food watches you before you can pick up the bag, pay and go home. Also I find the sushi always falls apart, these guys wouldn't make it in Japan. Another thing they have a tendency to use those weak cardboard boxes that just smash all the sushi together from the top and soggy and stuck on the bottom, just annoying, in spending like $100 when I go here. Don't bother just go to Kibo if they're open. read more

It's ok Not the best in city but just ok! They have the iPad selector which is good but compared to other like this they have about half of the selection! Not like you need a million items but when you have people that come with you that don't really like sushi then you want a bigger selection of other items as well. The chicken wings are really good! Overall ok place that I would come back! read more

Came here for a birthday and used a Groupon. We were a group of 11. I'm pleasantly surprised with the nice decor of the restaurant. Overall, not the best all you can eat place. Giving them 1 stars due to the HORRIBLE service. It was shitty service because they knew they didn't need to work for their tip as their 15% tip was already included in our bill. Rude remarks from servers, never bother to come and clean up our table once we stopped ordering. JUST HORRIBLE AND DISORGANIZED. we pressed for the "call for waiter" button on their iPad about 20 times and no one came. Looked around for someone and they were just gathered around talking to each other. Wouldn't recommend. You can go elsewhere for better food and service aka Heart Sushi. read more

Solid four stars from me, but temper your expectations. This isn't a high end sushi restaurant that managed to provide high quality sushi at competitive AYCE prices. This is still AYCE food. It tastes good, and you will get full. That's all I'll guarantee. What this place gets stars for is everything else. Location is great, it has a street-facing unit at BCC. Interior is classy and the whole place has a consistent theme. Servers are nice and accommodating. Most of all, the service is quick! My biggest gripe with AYCE places is the service wait times. It can really make or break your meal having to wait 20+ minutes for an order, then suddenly getting bombarded with everything at once. Why do you think so many AYCE sushi places have so much food wasted? AYCE restaurants should really take a tip from the trendy tapas restaurants and just serve things as they're made. The best thing about August 8 is that for the most part, they seem to follow this advice! Within a couple minutes of ordering from their iPads, you'll start receiving dishes. It's truly such a difference maker. read more

Came here for lunch on Mother's Day and it wasn't as busy as expected. Maybe it's due to the location, parking isn't the best as it's in a mall so most of the spots occupied in front of the restaurant are for shoppers. As not being a huge fan of AYCE meals, the food was pretty decent. The dim sum portions were nice and small so you are able to order sushi and not feel super full. All the dim sum dishes were pretty good but my fave was the chicken feet and the tripe. We ordered an abundant of dim sum dishes but managed to finish most if it since the portions were the right amount. In terms of the sushi menu, I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the fish because usually it's not super fresh since restaurants are preparing large amounts all at once at an all you can eat restaurant. My fave sashimi was the butter fish, it literally melted in my mouth! Overall, I would definitely come back to this location as there is lots of seating and the service is pretty decent! read more

Ambience and decor is nice. They use an iPad ordering system here which is usually convenient, but we experienced technical difficulties on our visit. Hopefully they worked out the kinks. The food here is generally good. Some items are sub par and others are really good. Specifically, the hot dishes are yummy. All things deep fried was great. The sushi is NOT good. The rice was mushy and overly vinegary - particularly a poor experience on my visit I think. I've been to other August 8 locations and the sushi was not as bad. My general advice is to come here if you're willing to sacrifice a bit of quality for a HUGE variety of dishes, and don't come if you're craving sushi - you'll be disappointed! read more

The food is tasty and they have lots of options:) Service is ok but sometimes during busy times feels rushed.

Great foods.. fresh and friendly services My kids love to go here. There's always something for them to choose. Beed udon is so tasty. Our favorites read more

The food was decent. The udon wasn't that great but the sushi was good. I like that they don't overwhelm the food with sauce.

Our family loves sushi. This was special late Xmas treat since I lost my wallet on 20th if December. Anyhow we drove 130km and were pleasantly surprise at the little details this place has. Pepper and salt for our fried octopus tentacles. Roasted seaweed for red caviars sushi. Wife tea was never empty. Washroom have private cubicles very clean. Tuna sashimi are fresh. Squid are divine. Chicken skewers slight touch of curry spice are soft. Garlic tumbles cubes of teriyaki steak melt in your mouth. My daughter loves her udon, my wife thought sweet and sour soup was touch bit spicy though she have to admit it is her favorite in GTA. I should have order on tap Sapporo but since I was only driver I held back. Service was a bit slow since restaurant was at full capacity. We came at 5 pm Friday before the dinner rush and witness the mayhem. My favorite was I think red dragon rolls but we forgot the name when I asked hostess she thought it was white dragon roll and reorder the dish, it came as last plate, so white dragon was bland vs both savoury and sour for red dragon and because of this and parking I reduced the stars by one less from perfection. Masa in Vaughan still rules ayce. read more

We ordered takeout, they didn't even bother to pack hot and cold separately the sushi was tasteless and warm, and then the manager had the audacity to tip himself 6.00$on a 40$ check, I didn't realize that had happened till I got home, it is up there with the worst restaurant experience ever read more

Worst sushi place I have been to!!! The service here is terrible, all wait staff are inattentive and not pleasant. We waited about 20 minutes just to be seated and there were so many empty tables that just needed to be cleaned. Mind you even after us waiting those tables still weren't cleaned... We continuously had to remind the staff to being wasabi/ginger and hot water for our tea. Only until practically the end of our meal did the wait staff bring what we asked. The food was good but due to the service I will never be returning to this place. read more

Dim sum , shrimp dumplings are good. read more

Ive been to this August 8 location about 5 times. The first time I went the service was okay. Every single time after that the service after every visit declined tremendously. What led me to leave an actual review, is that this past weekend, my bf and I had by far the worst service. When we were seated at our table, no one had come to ask us what we would like to drink for at least 10 min despite workers running the food. My bf also usually orders ONLY steak teriyaki and rice. We ordered, but his food came about 50 min after. Even things from our 2nd order came before that. Our ipad also stopped working, (had issues previous visits with wi-fi) but getting a server to help us out was ridiculous as no one was making eye contact for us to flag them down. When we finally had someones attention, he took the ipad and returned only for it to not even fixed. And had to yet again wait long for someone to help us out. When it was finally fixed, we then reordered the steak teriyaki and then finally complained about some "forgotten" dishes that we never received. And my bf finally got to eat after 15 min putting in a second order. The only this that was okay about our meal, was the green tea icecream. Even requesting the bill took forever as there was no one looking up again. All in all, the OAKVILLE LOCATION is by far more SUPERIOR in service. I will be visiting that location from now on even though the drive is further than bramalea. read more

This is my favourite sushi place in the area. It's price average but I find the food is amazing quality! I've been 5 times in the past year and don't have a single complaint. Good service, it's clean, amazing atmosphere. Ok I lied , one complaint - the parking.. but it's in a mall what can you do. I love this place read more

Ordered take out last night and food took over 2 hours to arrive. All the pieces were warm, tasted a day old and were falling apart. I wouldnt order from this place again or even try dining in. What a waste of $100. read more

Came here with a buddy for the all-you-can-eat option. Super fast and courteous service and food was amazing. The place is connected to the mall so parking may be tough to find at but other than that a great place to hang out and have some good food. read more

Service was fantastic. Staff was quick to clear your table as you were eating. It seemed the staff really work together, which was nice to see. Food variety was great. You order through an IPad and you are charged for what you don't eat...keep that in mind for the all you can eat option. Will definitely return!! read more

I really enjoy their Sushi especially the all you can eat. They have a big variety of sushi and basically you can order anything you like. I went there for dinner. The price for dinner is 29.99. They also have a good menu for drinks and every day of the week there is a special. We end up going on Wednesday, my favourite deal from the whole week which was 1/2 price read more

I came here for the all you can eat lunch with my girlfriend. We used a Groupon as well as a coupon my girlfriend found to get an extremely good price. The food came promptly and at the perfect temperature. We had many dishes including the spicy Salmon sushi rolls, spicy beef udon noodles, differing kinds of tempura etc. All the food that we tried was excellent. The only time we had a problem was due to a sushi mix up. However that issue was resolved quickly and we got the correct dish. 5/5 would come back again. The only thing of importance to note is that if you do not use a Groupon expect to spend 40-50 bucks for the all you can eat for two people. Through our groupon and coupon savings we spent around $25. read more
