We were looking to order some sushi on a recent Tuesday night but I wanted to try something other than our usual go-tos, so California Roll seemed like a good choice. (It didn't hurt, certainly, that delivery was free.) Anyway, we decided to get the 38 piece Sushi and Maki party platter. The dish arrived about an hour later and it sure looked impressive. (You could definitely serve this to your guests and they'd probably think you spent a small fortune.) The various sushi and rolls were all quite good. Honestly, I have no complaints. I wanted a lot of sushi for a relatively affordable price, and that's exactly what I got. read more

I've literally been coming to California Roll since 2011. I used to work in the neighbourhood and would come for lunches, celebrations, you name it. After moving roles, I've come every few months or so. Usually just 2-3 people, sometimes larger groups of 6-8. Hey, if it's good, I will recommend it again and again. Every person I've brought has raved about it. Well, let me tell you about my recent experience. It was a group of 6 of us on a Sunday, restaurant is empty. Dinner is now $28.99 + $2 for weekends + 15% service charge for groups of 6 or more. Total comes to $40.27 for one person. We ordered: Beef Ribs (lots) bunch of sushi and sashimi Salads etc Everything tasted great but they kept "forgetting" orders. Between the 6 of us, we ordered probably about 8 different rolls and we received 4. I asked about it, they said "what do you need?" I said "3 orders of the Fry Roll". They brought out 2. We did a second round of orders, more ribs, more sushi. They forgot about part of the order. So of course, we ordered more. To note, one of our friends didn't show up for an hour and a bit. Lots of traffic coming from downtown..so he showed up at 8pm. We're almost done. So I let the server know that we'll wait for him to come and then reorder. She said "last call, no more for your group and he can order when he comes". I have never had a limit, ever. I've at least come here 30+ times over the last 9 years. The restaurant is not busy, we are the only people there. The restaurant also closes at 10pm, so I know it's not last call for the kitchen. I know some places have time limits or round limits but in all the time I've come here, this has never been the case. It still isn't as there's nothing listed on their website or on their menus. From all of the recommendations I've given, I will likely not come back again. $40 is definitely on the higher end and the service is appalling as they keep forgetting the orders and then have the nerve to say "last call". read more

California Roll - Fry Roll - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I really liked California Roll! The selection for the AYCE lunch menu was great. So many choices, including deep fried mashed potato (which I had never tried but loved) and four different kinds of curry. The quality of the rolls was good and the service was decent. Place is really clean and they play some nice throwbacks. It's also in a cute little neighbourhood that you can walk through before/after your meal. AYCE lunch was $14.99 +tax on a Wednesday. It's just up the street from my school so I will definitely be back! read more

Pretty nice place with lots of options for dinner buffet. I would rate this place 3.5 stars just because the buffet is pretty expensive, and most portions are very small ($25 for a sushi buffet). On a bright side, the food is really tasty, and their desserts are really good (especially banana tempura with green tea ice cream). I would come back if the buffet would cost about $17, but $25 is just too steep. As I'm not a huge sushi fan, I would go somewhere else, but for someone who loves sushi - you will like it. read more

This is one of the pricier AYCE sushi places I enjoy. But the quality of the fish and the cook of the meat is perfect. It's tiny, had a patio (why??) and the service is okay. Not the best but also not the worst. But the sushi is delicious!! Certain items can only be ordered on the weekend. One such item is the salmon rose. Now I like my salmon rose, but this place serves up large portions of it. Quite a mouthful (and I'm not the most graceful diner either!). Some of the special rolls are interesting, but hands down the best one, the one you come back for, is the Fry Roll. Just perfection! Btw, if you want the deep fried ice cream dessert, it only comes in Mango ice cream flavour. Annnnnd, the ladies toilet seat completely detaches from the bowl so be careful!! There's certainly places with better price points, and I'm sure the same quality of fish and culinary skill can be found there, but do they have the Fry Roll??! Also, this particular strip of Bayview does have other Japanese options, but from what I recall, California Roll wins without a battle. read more

California Roll - The Fry Roll is possibly the best roll this place serves. Salmon cooked to perfection! - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm constantly on a hunt for the best AYCE sushi in Toronto and I chose to try this place based on the Yelp reviews and the reasonable prices. The service was superb! They are very attentive and bring your order fast. Green tea is extra charge. The rolls are quit average and nothing special. There is enough variety of sushi and rolls I think, but again the quality is just mediocre. The atmosphere is small, cozy and family friendly. read more

What a cute spot! We came here on a whim for a (very early) lunch - I had a hankering for sushi, and fortunately you're never far from it in Toronto. The restaurant is medium sized and very nicely designed - I love their simplistic decor, it was very clean and open looking. We were greeted by the friendly sushi chef and quickly seated by their server. While I desperately wanted AYCE, which is only $12.99 for lunch and seemed quite extensive - but alas, time was against me so I went with the a la carte menu. I ordered salmon roll, tuna roll, and California roll (aka Makimono Set... I think). The California roll was especially delicious (good thing, since that's their name and all!) and everything was very fresh. The salad and miso that came with the meal were kind of "meh", but I don't expect a lot from those additions in a restaurant like this. I wouldn't hesitate to come back to California Roll, if only I was in the neighbourhood more often. Minus 1 Point: $1 for green tea. Bonus point: patio! read more

All you can eat sushi. Not bad, but not worth a special trip. The cost on the website is out dated. The weekday dinner is now $24/person and $26 on Fri and Sat. You need to eat a lot of sushi at those prices. The selection was more than acceptable with a few extra "Fri and Sat" items like pork buns that helped justify the extra cost. Based on the food the deserve a solid 3 stars. Not great but good. When I consider the utilitarian atmosphere, inconsistent service, and relative cost, I think 3 stars is a very generous rating. read more

California Roll - Tempura onions and sweet potatoes - Sushi Bars Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

See all

Had a horrible experience at California Roll. When I asked the waitress for Unagi sauce she rolled her eyes at me and my friend. Then when she came back she gave it to us so rudely by slamming it on the table. Later on when I finished the very small amount of Unagi sauce, I asked nicely if I could have some more. She told me that I couldn't. She seems to be very kind to everyone except us. Not sure why that is. We are noticeably being served last even though we ordered first and we ordered simple rolls not anything that involves cooking. We have been coming here for years ~ never had this particular waiter before but now we for sure will not be back. There are a lot of great other sushi places in Toronto! Explore somewhere else. Goodbye California Rolls read more

Ordered food off skip the dishes. I got two orders of vegetable tempura, one order of sweet potato tempura, one crunchy roll, and a eel sushi pizza, as I was with some buddies. Both pieces of the tempura zucchini... had a weird, bitter taste to it. The tempura squash was powdery and did not taste like squash. The crunchy roll was alright- nothing special, not crunchy, but it was tiny. Like, palm of the hand tiny, which was fine, until i realized I paid seven dollars for it. Rice in sushi pizza was weird, crunchy bits/sauce underneath the eel did not go with the eel at all. Just go somewhere else. read more

One of the best AYCE sushi place. I promise. Service is fast and the staff is super nice! The presentation of the sashimi platter is always beautiful. My wife and I come here at least twice a month. Don't forget to leave room for the fried ice cream!!!!! read more

California Roll was a mostly disappointing experience for me. The sushi itself was alright, but their apparent cheapness was irritating. (They even charge for tea! More on that later.) The first thing I noticed was the lack of an order sheet -- strange for an all-you-can-eat. As we dictated our order to the server, the woman seemed impatient. This made me wonder if eliminating the order sheet was more about making us order less than improving service. Another thing we noticed was their combining so many items onto one plate they would be practically falling off. Is it really worth this to save a bit of washing? And the soy sauce was extra salty. You'd think for consistency they'd cheap out on the sodium content too! I could have forgiven all of this had they not surprised us with a $1 charge for each tea. It is commonplace for tea to be free, especially with all-you-can-eat. This trickiness left a sour taste, and I think will prevent many customers from coming back. It's just a poor business move. With tip we paid $32 each for average food, below-average service and, yes, our tea. They certainly won't be making a repeat customer out of me. read more

I've been here twice and had two different experiences. First time food and service were fine, nothing wonderful but definitely nice enough that I wanted to return. The second time the wait staff were snooty. I live in the area and will be telling everyone to steer clear of this place and choose one of the other options close by:-)) read more

This review is solely based on their delivery as I've never had a dine-in experience at this restaurant. I've ordered from this place through the now defunct TasteAway.ca and OrderIt.ca and I've never been disappointed. It's usually just me and my wife and we usually just get sashimi, sushi, or maki rolls but we have also ordered udon and party trays when we have guests over. We've always found the raw fish to be very fresh in both appearance and taste which I'd say is the most important. They also take the time to focus on the appearance of the fish within their take-out container. Nice touch. Udon orders come quite large when we order the tempura udon as each of udon noodles, broth and tempura get their own container. This prevents sogginess and preserves the quality of the food. Delivery is usually around the 45 minutes as they forecast and this is despite living in a high traffic area made worse by the Eglinton Crosstown LRT construction. That said, even our party tray orders arrive in same time as our orders for just two people. This has quickly become our "go to" place for Japanese food orders and keep placing orders with them as long as they're still around. read more

We decided to try out this place on valentines day. This cozy, as in you can hear your neighbour's conversation, tight place has great ambience and surprisingly could accommodate our toddler as they have high chairs. We opted for the all you can eat menu, which although vast, lacked certain things in terms of premium items such as octopus, squid, salmon roe to name a few. It did however have some redeeming items such as beef tenderloin, grilled beef ribs, and sirloin teriyaki for the meat lovers. We ordered the avocado salad (iceberg lettuce topped with 3 small slices of avocado doused in a weak vinegrette), the mango salad (house greens topped with sparse slices of unripened mango doused with a diluted sour dressing), the seaweed salad (decent), kimchi (decent), and Miso soup (sub par). The udon seafood noodle soup was ok for an all you can eat. The veggie and shrimp tempura were good however the shrimp was over battered for my taste. We ordered the popcorn chicken which was tasty and the chicken wings which were covered in the same batter as popcorn chicken. The beef tenderloin was very good. The sirloin, grilled salmon belly, and beef ribs were ok. We also ordered the spider roll which was good, the volcano roll which was a California roll with the imitation crab doused in sauce and shredded overtop (ok but not great), and the black dragon roll (good but not memorable). The sashimi was very good and fresh though limited in selection. We ordered the salmon, white tuna, surf clam. We also ordered the shrimp and eel sushi which were both very good. Dessert was good. They have a variety of ice cream to choose from (green tea, red bean, vanilla, mango, coconut), deep fried banana (amazing), and deep fried ice cream (we didn't try). Service was excellent. Although the place was jammed, they did their best to bring us all our food and take repeat orders, as well as fill up our waters. They only forgot one item (beef wrapped enoki mushrooms). The bill was $60 for two and a child under 3 ($2 for the child). There was not that much for our toddler to eat but we managed to feed him beef, salmon, avocado, noodles, squash, zucchini and chicken. There were however no fruits for him since the mango was a bit hard. Overall, it was ok for an AYCE. Regular price is $23.50 but they charge an extra $3 for weekends and holidays. There are extra items available for weekends and holidays on the menu, but they were nothing unusual. Rosette salmon rolls, mango salad, spicy tuna and salmon rolls, sweet/sour chicken and BBQ buns. Although they have a large menu, a lot of the items were the same ingredients but in a different format. read more

My wife and I recently had dinner at this newly opened All You Can Eat Sushi place in Leaside. They have a full a la carte menu as well with a bigger variety, but we decided to give the AYCE a try. It's a new place just two doors down from the Hollywood Gelato in what used to be another asian restaurant (Asian Bowl maybe?). It has room for 36 people since it only has 18 tables for two (yes, we counted) and no sushi bar, but the decor seemed quite nice and basic. It's new so it's also very clean, even the washrooms, which are down the stairs near the back of the restaurant. They were very clean although quite small with room for just one person at a time. The AYCE menu has a lunch option which I believe was $14 and dinner was $20 with an extra $2 on weekends and holidays. The big difference was that dinner included Sashimi and a few other things like desserts. Like most AYCE places these days, the menu is a large single sheet that you keep ordering off of. Unlike some of the other AYCE places we've been to with bigger menus and larger selections, California Roll had a more limited menu, but really made up for it in other ways. The staff, including the owner, are incredibly attentive and service was faster and more efficient than anything we've experienced in a Toronto in years. Granted, we went for dinner at 5:30 p.m. on a week night and the restaurant was only half full, but it still impressed us. Our Green tea was never allowed to go below half a cup before being refreshed and all we had to do was pick up the menu and start talking about something before there was someone there to take our order. We made sure to eat a lot of the Sashimi, and it was amazing, especially the Red Snapper and Sea Clam. We also tried lots of the Salmon and Tuna. We had a few rolls and some Salmon, Tuna, and Red Snapper Sushi, but really concentrated on the Sashimi since it was so delicious, fresh and sweet. This was definitely the freshest fish I'd ever had at an AYCE place, which made it so different from the many other places we'd been to in the GTA like Kaze or Maison de Japan where we've even had fish delivered to our table that was still partially frozen. Yuck! The fish at California Roll was so good that this was the first time I'd ever Sushi and Sashimi without any Soy & Wasabi. The presentation was also very beautiful and was much more of what you'd expect at the high end Japanese places. The portions were small in order to prevent waste, but since it's AYCE, who cares! Apart from the Sashimi and Sushi, we tried a couple of rolls which were typical of any other AYCE place, but also a Seaweed Salad, an Avocado Salad that melted in my mouth, Teriyaki Chicken that was tender and delicious, a Sirloin with mushroom dish, curry dishes that had a delicious buttery flavor, Tempura dishes including a plate of lightly battered Onion Rings which were great, and a Cheese Wonton that was an unexpected treat. For dessert we had the Fried Ice Cream which only comes in Green Tea flavour and the Tempura battered and fried Banana with Honey. Both were good, but the amount of Green Tea Ice Cream was tiny and could have used a much bigger scoop so the it wouldn't be so overwhelmed by the Tempura batter surrounding it. I had a Kirin beer and my wife had warm Sake which both seemed reasonably priced (around $4 or $5 I think), with a total bill of just over $60 before tip. Our previous favorite in the GTA had been Kaze, but rather than trekking all the way up to Elgin Mills and Bayview anymore we'll be staying south of Eglinton for our new favorite AYCE place. read more

4.5* I've been to California several times now. Either for lunch or dinner... takeout or dine in... and each time I've been impressed. Their all you can eat menu is pretty impressive and it covers way more than just sushi/maki rolls (And they got pretty good sushi too). Not only that, everything is fresh and tasty. Here is a list of items that stand out: shrimp tempura, scallop cutlet, beef teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, chicken fried rice, and beef ribs (i usually get 3 servings of these bad boys!), and anything off the maki/sushi menu. Lastly, I've got to mention that the place is very clean, new and modern looking inside and the service is pretty quick. read more

Where has all the good Asian takeout gone? The Chicken Yaki Udon was an "Ewww - don't!" The totally bland, completely flavorless noodles with flat, tiny ice-shaving sized pieces of chicken didn't even smell appealing. I ordered this because I wanted White chicken meat, not "White jerky." So dry, chewy and paired with those bland noodles, I took two bites and almost threw up in my mouth. The sweet potato tempura was okay, the AC rolls were okay, but the avocado salad came with absolutely no dressing or vegetables - nothing except some mixed greens and sliced avocado. No carrots, peppers, tomatoes or dressing - anything. In conclusion, the tempura is okay, but "You-Don" want to order noodles here.... read more

A bit too much rice with their rolls but great service and the avocado is always fresh! If you enjoy avocado with your sushi, it's a bummer that they don't have green dragon rolls on their AYCE menu. Advisable to make reservations before coming if you have a large group. Have seen it get pretty packed for lunch. read more

I love sushi, but I do not love it here. Although they do have a large variety of rolls, I found that most of them where waaaay too salty. The same went for their soy sauce. I have also tried their Chicken Katsu and Vegetable Udon. The Katsu was pretty tastey, but the Udon was very plain...and had lettuce in it. Regular iceberg lettuce. That seemed a little odd to me. I do not think I will be coming back. There are a million other sushi places in town to try out. read more

I would have given a 5* but the service has definitely declined dramatically. The food is still amazing and fresh so I will continue to eat here for weekday dinners. The best dish is the beef tenderloin. My friend and I would order sometimes 6 of these but they started to catch on and bring the tiniest portions so it's best to emphasize YOU WANT THE BEEF TENDERLOIN. Then you don't have to keep bothering the waitress every 10 seconds for a refill. Also the yellowfish is $2 extra charge and not unlimited, not sure if that's standard but I do not recommend for lunch because all the best dishes aren't offered. Hot sake, edamame, avocado salad, terriyaki! Tip: ask about becoming a VIP for 10%, also cash discount read more

Me and my Harlot do sushi atleast twice a week! They dont have sushi in mount olympus. This place is amazing!! its not your typical AYCE Sushi resteraunt, its small, seats about 40 people, in a small resteraunt, very intimate and the ambience is amazing! you can take a girl here for a first date and have some class. IF she likes AYCE sushi that is, dont blame me otherwise. The Service is amazing, they take the time to smile, and speak proper english, they dont linger around to push you away but there around to help out explaining the menu and are more than helpful with recomendations. The sushi it self is amazing! you can tell that they have taken the time at the fish market to select the proper grades of salmon tuna and even beef and chicken for the terriyakis. the beef stirloin melts in your mouth. the black dragon rolls is amazing! everything is amazing! I dont want to dwell too much because u might think this review is fake, but go and see for yourself! and enjoy this place! its a must for AYCE sushi lovers. read more

We were in the area & got hungry so we came here for their AYCE lunch. I was pleasantly surprised at the larger than expected proportions of each dish. I was stuffed in no time. Wait staff were fast & courteous. My only complaints would be the place is a little small & crowded. Also their veggie fried rice was a bit greasy & tasteless. Given how small the location was they only had one washroom for the ladies & men's each. This place would go up a rating in my eyes of they had a larger space & improved some of their dishes. read more

Recently I read that this made the top of the list of best Ayce sushi in toronto (from Toronto.com). We checked it out today and agree that it is good. Paid parking on the street. Inside is a little small, with two floors. The poor servers had to bring everything up the narrow stairs since we sat upstairs. Items we liked today: premium plum wine, sushi was fresh but selection is small, tobiko salad, har gow, siu mai, udon noodle soup, asiago tofu. Their tempera batter for shrimp was fine but were thick and heavy for the vegetable tempera. Their popcorn chicken they used funny dark meats and left overs that we didn't care for, their beef appetizers were cut into tiny pieces could be improved on size, flavour was fine. They had spider roll listed but told us it was not available. We had dynamite roll, was just alright. Their dinner prices had increased but the printed price on their menu was outdated and they never told us. Would I visit again? Yes but not anytime soon. read more

This is hands down the best AYCE sushi place in toronto and I have been to many of them. Please pay attention that I said AYCE sushi, you are never gonna have the best sushi in an all u can eat place, of course. 1. Fish here is always fresh 2. Unlike other AYCEs you'll love the chicken, steak and etc. are all great too. 3. Staff are nice and they don't care how many times you order read more

Overall, very pleasantly surprised. We typically travel to Markham for AYCE sushi but this place was better than our Markham AYCE option. The good: - Fresh Fish - Great non-fish dishes as well - Nice decor The bad: - Kinda slow with the rolls, perhaps so fresh they fish for the fish - I don't know what it is about the menu but it's kinda confusing - The parking sitch can be tricky as that strip of Eglinton is quite busy with rests Definitely go check it out! read more

The food here is mediocre. I order here occasionally when we don't feel like cooking or going out. About six months ago I found a scrap of metal in one of my dishes. I didn't think much, maybe a scrap of tinfoil, but definitely an accident. Some time passed, thought we'd give it another try.. I literally just pulled an almost identical piece of scrap metal out of my food. I'm over this shit.. look at the photo and see for yourself. I'll be calling the health board. read more

Nice place especially if the weather allows you to sit outside. Prices is not to high and food selection is good. Service 5+.

Just had a horrible experience at one of our go-to local restaurants, California Roll on Bayview. I was there with the kids on my own and when the waitress came to take our order, I asked for 3 waters and a glass of wine. She then said to me, "are you sure you want wine when you are alone with the kids? Maybe just water or green tea." I said no I am fine to have a 5 oz glass of wine and again she asked me if I was sure in front of my children. I said yes and she walked away. It took me a moment to process what had happened when two dads alone with their kids came in and they ordered beer without any questions. When she came back, I decided I was going to say something. I said, "so you know, that was offensive that you would question my drink order." Her response, in my opinion you should not have it when you are by yourself. No apology, nothing. She made me feel so awful at the time, like I was a horrible mother doing something that would somehow endanger my children. The other waitress tried to apologize, offered me a glass of wine and took 15% off my bill. I declined the wine. I will never go back as I felt so uncomfortable and felt like I was being judged for wanting a simple glass of wine on a Saturday night. read more

I had just dined in for lunch and it was a horrible experience and condensing wait staff. I went in with a friend for AYCE lunch. From the moment we ordered our food, the waitress asked if we wanted to wait another round before ordering because she thought it was too much food for us. Then for the entire time the waitresses were observing how much we ate and how far we got in our meal. I know this because the staff talked openly between each other in their language (which I completely understood). How shameful! But they did not speak only about our table, but others as well. Making snide remarks such as, "Wow they completely cleaned off the plate! I can't believe it" For our table they continued to monitor our food intake and making comments about us being able to finish our plates. Only when I stared at them when they made the comments is when they spoke to each other either in the kitchen or in lowered voices. When I was ready and tried to order dessert, the waitress came right away and made a comment, "Oh, you are finished already? You have lots of food left. We will have to charge you for leaving food behind." She expressed how eating the middles of the rolls is not how I am suppose to consume the sushi rolls. And she continued to ramble on about how if we had ordered sushimi then it would be ok to eat the way we did, and pointing to the menu. (I dont know what the F*** she was talking about) Excuse me?!! I don't know, I thought I was living in a world where I could eat my sushi anyway I want to?! I do not need ANYONE to tell me how to eat sushi, all-you-can-eat sushi or not, when I find it hard to finish sushi, I tend to poke out the middle and eat it. Anyway, I had a feeling that they will charge us extra because of the continuous stares at our table. I expected it, but I didn't think they would go through with it because I have never been charged before. I tried to explain that I understand if they charged the 6 pieces of avocado and cucumber sushi rolls that were left over, but they also wanted to charge for the 4 pieces of veggie tempura, 2 plates full of bones and fatty parts (from beef short ribs), finished edamame skins, and burnt parts of the yam tempura! Commenting from another waitress, "Yea, this is too much food left over". Ok, I didn't know I had to eat the burnt parts and bones too. Where was that on the menu? Finally, I demanded to know how much they were going to charge because at this point they were just stuck on criticizing on how we ate our food. The waitress came back saying, " I'm going to charge you $5 extra just for the sushi roll, and if you are unsatisfied with the amount, I can call the manager out and he will come out and charge you the full amount of all the dishes you did not finish." Whoa Lady! Calm down. Was that a threat?! Because I did not even get a chance to respond! I actually thought that was fine. Please folks find another AYCE sushi resto to in the area. There is in fact 2 other Asian restaurants just a few doors down that would have better service, staff that is not condescending, and most likely would have more respect and manners to customers during this time low CDN dollar and high costs of food. Never again will I go and I am already letting my people I know not go there again based purely on this experience. BTW they did not give me my dessert! read more

ordered food with strict instructions in bold letters - ALLERGY. food still came with items listed. were supposed to be credited for next order, and of course there was nothing in the system... would have to call back tomorrow for a manager - why wasn't there a manager present? why would i want the item tomorrow? poor communication, poor delivery (hot food comes warm, cold food comes warm, wait for longer than 1hr) super poor customer service read more

Went there with 2 friends for lunch on Victoria Day and contracted severe food poisoning from eating extremely off salmon sashimi. The sashimi had a terrible colour and was falling apart. Apart from contracting food poisoning we didn't like that you weren't able to write down what you wanted, instead you had to dictate your order on the spot to a waitress. The price was also too high. I will not be returning and will be contacting the health department to have them do an inspection. read more

Looking for some sushi in the Leaside village on Bayview, yes, there are now 3 Japanese eateries on the strip now, we decided to pop to California Roll. It was clean and modern (a bit sterile) inside the small resto with a tiny patio for outdoor dining. The restaurant features an all you can eat menu ($12.99 for lunch, and $18.99 for dinner?). After deciding to pass on stuffing our faces silly we ordered their lunch specials. This is probably one of the cheapest places to eat considering the area, but sadly this was apparent in the food. The salmon bento included just 2 filets of salmon with a lower end teriyaki smothering, a cup of steamed rice, and 2 orange slices. The soup was average, the salad was ok, but the sushi and maki was pretty disappointing. I thought perhaps we would receive a bit better quality for not ordering then AYCE sushi, but I think it was the exact opposite in this case. The salmon maki was a sliver of warm fish surrounded by rice and wrapped poorly, while the other rolls were equally underwhelming in both taste, preparation and quality. Ugh. 2 stars for that dog scrap. The only reason I give it a 3 is because there AYCE lunch had some really good variety and roll selection and it even had dim sum! The party beside us were feasting on some decent sushi and all sorts of hot dishes from short ribs to steak and garlic. The quality was still probably not the best but for its $12.99 price point, it's worth it to go for the AYCE. Overall, i probably wouldn't return, but if I ever found myself starving one afternoon in the Leaside village and craving sushi, I'd pop in. read more

We were at this AYCE sushi place last week. It is a decently priced place and the decor isn't overwhelming. It is pretty small and it was busy, which may have contributed to the confusion in our order; we told both the main server and another assistant type guy when we wanted a couple of extra things but they didn't come, which ended up being just as well since we were getting stuffed! The sushi is of good quality and it looks like it is a clean operation... parking is the usual for the area, free on side streets and paid on Bayview Ave. until 9:00pm. We had a good experience and will go back. read more

This my second favourite AYCE and favourite in the Toronto area. Great fish quality and lots of options for cool appetizers. Great great place. read more

Not the best experience at this place, unfortunately. I've had way better AYCE sushi. Their Spider Roll tasted like tape and the restaurant itself is small. It couldn't work for a big group. Most of their special rolls are only available at dinner, which can be annoying (most AYCE places are more expensive at dinner). Overall, not good. read more

Ordered the Party platter. It was ok. Not great.
