Came here with some friends for the omakase special meal…read more Such a lovely overall standard omakase experience and meal. The highlight for me was probably the set of four starter appetizers, they were flavourful, delicately prepared and perfect way to start the meal. I liked the slightly pickled dish with cucumbers the best. We also had sushi prepared with fresh seafood. The rice was probably my favorite compared to other places I've been. It was perfectly seasoned rice, warm and cooked to have just the right texture, not overcooked and not undercooked. The rice held up well when picked up by hand and complemented the flavours of the fish. Finished the meal with a matcha flavored pudding flan type dessert which had deep matcha flavours. If you're a fan of matcha, you'd probably enjoy it too. All in all, the meal was enjoyable, the torched tuna sushi was probably my favorite sushi of the set and my least favorite was the egg/eel, I was expecting a sweet egg at the end so it unexpected.

Ordered tempura vegetables and shrimp with 6 pieces total was only around $9. This tempura tasted truly delicious compared to other pricier restaurants! The whole staff greeted us the moment we came in with smile and felt their kindness/patience while we were looking through the menu. They were very accommodating with changing spicy salmon roll to dynamite roll in the dinner sushi sets for me since I don't eat spicy food. Other restaurants would always charge extra regardless if the price was the same or cheaper. The rice ratio for the rolls was PERFECT! Definitely the best one I've seen by far. I would love to try their signature rolls next time to see if they're the same. I would come here again for lunch and check them out. -1 star because: The sushi to rice ratio is a little too much so I had to take some off unfortunately. Also the salad that comes with the sets was bland, lettuce and 3 strings of beets.

For a lunch bento box around ~$17-18 it comes with a roll, tempura, salad, miso soup, rice and salmon teriyaki, I thought that the food quality was amazing. The rolls were not just basic rolls, they were packed with flavour, texture (tempura bits) and had an excellent rice-meat ratio. The salmon terriyaki portion was amazing. Service was a little on the slow side, the the food definitely made up for it. I'm looking forward to trying out other sushi rolls & menu items as their menu is quite extensive! Will definitely be coming back in the near future. If you're looking for a good place to stop by for quick sushi

I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty.

This was my first time going to an AYCE izakaya, and it made me wish there was one where I live. The highlight was definitely the beef teriyaki - comes out sizzling hot.

We went as a group of 7 with a reservation. For some reason, instead of seating a larger group at the stand alone (but combinable tables) at the front of the restaurant, they decided to sit us at a booth that holds six with the +1 in a chair in the pathway to the bathroom. Ordering food is done on 2 pieces of paper - one for sushi and one for all the other food. Unlike many other AYCE restaurants, there is no description of the food and there's no iPad to see a photo of what you might be ordering. It makes it very difficult to select, and the waiters are really not around to ask questions. They wanted all 7 of us to use the single paper. I explained to the waiter that I wasn't at a restaurant to do math and add up all the pieces and orders and go person by person. Could we possibly get a second set of papers so we could split the table into 2 groups? Yes, but with great difficulty. The food started to come. Overall, very fast from paper to food. So, where did they put the food? Right in front of me as one if the people sitting at the end. They would place plate after plate in front of me. Often with no explanation of what food it was. Apparently, it is the person at the end of the table's job to announce the food and identify the person(s) who it belongs to. So, with the number of dishes ordered, there was little opportunity for me to eat. There was also no place for me to place my food on the table in front of me. It was beyond frustrating. Along the way, they began forgetting to deliver food that was ordered and they began delivering food we did not order. I believe the restaurant should have placed us at the tables at the front of the restaurant. All large groups would benefit front this and all would be able to enjoy the food.

They also had optional upgrades for uni or Japanese melon, which I think was like $35 for uni and $27 for one melon slice. We didn't end up doing that but we were super full from lunch and it was a pretty good deal for omakase. Service was amazing, super comfortable. There's just a handful of seats, obviously at the omakase table. We had a fantastic time and would highly recommend going.

In the land of strip malls and bubble tea, ATO stands like a quiet temple to the sea. No flash, no gimmicks, and they've risen fast. One of the first in the GTA to pull off a full bluefin tuna cutting show, ATO isn't just serving sushi--it's making a statement. The fish? Impeccable. Glistening sashimi, perfectly tempered nigiri, rich cuts of o-toro and chu-toro. There's a devotion here--to quality and tradition. And they've done it without the Toronto markup. Omakase here is serious, but accessible without feeling you are funding a private golf membership. The vibe? Zen-quiet. Multiple rooms, hushed voices, focused chefs. Service? Spot on with little fanfare so you can enjoy each morsel of perfection. ATO Japanese Restaurant isn't trendy. It's timeless. And that's the point. CHEERS!!!!

Unfortunately it came with plain white rice and not sushi rice. The sashimi looked promising as there were three large pieces of salmon belly. I kept wanting to like it, but most of the pieces were fishy and the soya sauce didn't seem to have any sweetness to it (just salty; I had to add more wasabi than usual to balance it out). The only ones that weren't fishy were the white tuna / butterfish and the red tuna. I liked the red tuna the second most (first is white tuna), which is not a good sign since it's usually middle of the pack for me. The octopus and surf clam were very thinly cut.
