We ended popping in for lunch as we just moved in the neighborhood and love sushi. There's no much of an ambiance but the service was good. The ladies were very attentive and fast. We ordered from the a la carte menu and ordered the spicy scallop, spicy salmon as well as the Kisses Of Fire Roll which is Spicy crab and avocado with seared butterfish on top. The kisses of fire roll was great as thr Butterfield melted in your mouth but there is way too much crab meat in it. Unfortunately none were spicy, even ordered their spicy mayo sauce which still not spicy. I'll def check out their AYCE lunch which is under $28. read more

Makimono - Spicy Salmon + Rock N Roll - Japanese Near Me - Bowmanville, Ontario

terrible service in my opinion, didn't ask us if anything is okay, didn't smile at us, didn't even speak to us once. nice interior though. but tell me why the cook was literally out of the kitchen staring at us like we had something wrong w us. we were literally just eating and they were staring at us from across the room. everyone at my table noticed and it made myself and the others at the table very uncomfortable. read more

I went here for dinner this evening and had the worst experience I have ever had in a restaurant. I have never felt so embarrassed, singled out, mistreated, judged, and discriminated against. I have a service dog for medical reasons, she is an angel (as are all service dogs), there is not a place on this planet that I go without her, and legally so. I have been to this same location in the past, with my service dog, multiple times. For some reason this evening was different. We walked in, said hello to the greeter, said how many were in our party, and expected to be seated. The greeter immediately went to the woman behind the bar and pointed at my dog, they both stood there looking at each other, looking at my dog, and shaking their heads saying "no, no, no dog". I stated the obvious and said "she's a service dog". They continued to say no, no I could not be served. I told them I didn't understand what the problem was as I had been there before, with the same service dog, same location, and politely but to the point told them it is illegal for them to refuse me because of having service dog. The greeter then walked the couple meters back over and asked if she was a service dog, as if it wasn't obvious (she's in her full service dog vest, clearly marked with service dog tags, carrying medical devices, and standing beside me while I hold the handle that is attached to her), and as if I never said anything. They then asked for me to "prove it", to which I told them I do have an identification card for her but it's illegal of them to ask for any form of proof. It's very discriminatory. Dispite it being illegal to ask for proof of any kind I did hand them her card, they both looked it over slowly as if checking for a fake 100$ bill. I had to continue to explain, in front of half a restaurant of people, that what they were doing was against the law. We were reluctantly seated in the back corner. After we were given our drinks the woman from behind the bar came and stood by our table. She told us she was the "one in charge", I was then talked at for about twenty minutes, at our table, in front of other customers, while she said things like "what if one of my workers has allergy to fur", "one of my workers will scream so loud if she even sees big dog, she will scream running everywhere in restaurant and upset customers", "can you give me certificates for dog so I can take picture", "everyone with dog must give proof", "I have to take care of my employees, it is illegal for me to not", "I have worked here long time, you have not been here with dog before". I calmly suggested that if a particular employee had such a severe problem then perhaps they could be given an hours break and could return to their duties after I had left, the woman said she would not do that. She tried to tell me I didn't know the law, the law must have changed, she has to "protect the employees and customers", customers don't like big dogs, this is illegal, I should call ahead to places to make sure they will allow my dog before I go next time, etc. This woman then went around speaking to different workers, pointing out I was there with a dog. Even the kitchen workers came out from the back room to lean out over counters and look and me and my dog. To have spent 140$ for three people to eat, with being treated like that, I am dumbfounded. Thanks so much for giving me a panic attack in your restaurant, for belittling me, berating me, embarrassing me, humiliating me, and making me feel like utter garbage for having to exist in your presence. To treat people like this is nothing but shameful, to know absolutely nothing about discrimination laws is a disservice to your customers. This was a cruel experience to have to endure, and never should have happened. Photograph is from 2018, me, with same service dog, same vest, same restaurant, same Oshawa location. No, lady in charge, I was not lying. read more

Rating a one,would rate it 0 but doesn't allow me to do that Makimono OSHAWA location we ordered online it says 10per off if you pay cash upon picking up our meal, person tells us no, 10per off only applies to phone in orders Few months later gave this location another try chicken we ordered was stale worse teriyaki chicken we've ever had no teriyaki flavour and broccoli was undercook chicken in campbell's soup has better flavour and tastes more like real chicken than teriyaki chicken from this location one of the worse chinese take out I've had in years just moved to Oshawa and now I'm on the hunt for decent chinese restaurant here read more

Higher prices don't always mean better food. I am here for the All You Can Eat lunch, adult prices $17.99. It's not fresh made sushi rolls, they came to the table way too fast for that. The seafood Salad might be from Costco. Over all it's not bad but I expect a lot more for that lunch price. Service is good and the place is clean but I'm not even eating any fish and I'm finding my veggie choices aren't fresh and impressive. read more

Makimono - Clean and fresh ambiance. - Japanese Near Me - Bowmanville, Ontario

Food was good. Service so so. Wait staff polite and pleasant. Food came out of order as soup and salad came at end of meal. Have to have staff enter order which was a pain. Atmosphere like a cafeteria not very comfortable or relaxing. Prices reasonable. Was about a 30 minute drive but next time will go 45 minutes to Oshawa as overall better in Oshawa. This place is better than Peterborough sushi restaurants. Gave it 4 stars as the food was good and large portions. A bit too large as not use to the size and am a bit stuffed right now. Read other reviews before going and still went and glad we did. If they were complaining about bad service they should visit a few restaurants in downtown Toronto were the wait staff think their doing you a big favour by being there. read more

I love sushi and have eaten it at some of the best places. I'm not really picky, as long as it's done right I'm good to go...so when I saw this place, decided to give it a try. However, I was really disappointed!!!! I ended up getting the bento box and a couple of sushi rolls on the side (Take out). There were no chopsticks, spoons or any fork in the bag! I didn't want to eat my sushi with a fork but at this point had no choice. The tempura was pretty bad. Not sure how it's hard not to cook that right, but it was raw...and undercooked so ended up throwing it away after a couple of bites. Had decent expectations for a restaurant chain, but ended up being disappointed. Def not going to be going here again!! read more

If I could give this place no stars I would. Service was dreadfully slow, server was rude and actually swore and huffed while sending our order to the kitchen. Food was sub par and took 40 minutes for the first bit of our order to come out. Tables here have a weird sticky residue on them, would not recommend a visit here, save your money. 29.99 for all you can eat because they charge extra in Valentine's Day plus 2.00 for a simple tea, which would be totally fine if the wood wasn't awful. Really disappointed in the food and the service. read more

Today is Dec 26/2018, As a first time visit I usually notice the service, atmosphere and quality of food. There's a level of formally in being sat at an all you can eat place. The location is excellent for the weary shopper of the area. The quality of food is great. The room temp could have been a bit warmer as well as the service. And as for the quickness in serving, it was slow. I also found the tables and tablet sticky for some reason. All in all I give it 3.5 stars read more

I've been to this chain at a different location so I thought it would be good. Was shocked at how bad the food was. The sushi was tasteless and bland. Stale. I won't go back. Will travel out of Bowmanville for sushi. read more

If you dont want to leave a restaurant in a bad mood, avoid this place. I've been coming here since I moved to the area about a year ago and the food is good. Unfortunately I won't be back. Kindness and respect goes a long way. The lady with shorter hair took my order over the phone, it was wrong when I came to pick up - totally fine, mistakes happen. The guy working apologized but she tried to correct me as if I gave her the wrong order, then stayed silent the rest of the time. No apology, zero communication, walked over with the bag of my correct order - put it down in front of me and walked away. Overall was just rude and I'm a pretty understanding customer. Will bring my business elsewhere read more

Terrible service. I ordered takeout and went few minutes after the pickup time. The manager (a woman in formal clothing) was at the cashier and I paid. She doesn't say anything whether the order is ready or when it will be ready. Someone else came to pickup food, so I stepped to the side. I waited and waited patiently. Around 4 minutes passed, the manager wasn't doing much in that time. And she clearly saw me waiting but didn't say anything and just ignored me. Then she passed me and went elsewhere. Another waiter came and asked what I ordered and picked up a bag that was just sitting there on the COUNTER behind cashier this WHOLE TIME and handed it to me. Come on, the manager was so ignorant. How could she miss it? Everytime we go, she doesn't greet, not even a smile. Won't go back. Too bad because the food was decent. I am telling my friends and neighbours to avoid this place unless they want terrible service. read more

It's a hit or miss. Once I went and had a great view and fried rice, the next the server had open stitches whilst serving us.

Terrible! We mentioned a severe allergy and the owner/manager came to our table to assure us the allergy concern was not in their food. The owner/manager later returned to mention that the food that we had just consumed had the life threatening allergy concern in the sauce. The waitress was fantastic in that she alerted the owner/manager. We will not be back! Back to our local favourite, Mito Sushi where they cater to the allergy! read more

Garbage management and sub par sushi. Service is good, especially that cute little Asian boy

Good AYCE sushi, Glad to see it in Bowmanvile as a newer resident to the area as I've enjoyed other locations a couple times so far and will be back read more

Horrible customer service!!!! I came in to have lunch, there is no line up whatsoever and the dining is not even full ( they are not busy). I stood there waiting to be seated for a while and the hostess and servers just looked at me then walked away. This is a new experience to me and I do not know what to to think of it. I am of Asian decent and this is an Asian restaurant. I can'to help but feel racialize!!! By Asians!! Is this even possible?!?! read more

First time here, came on a date with my boyfriend. Usually we go to mito sushi but we wanted to try something new. I think 18.99$ is a little ridiculous for all you can eat. Considering most places are between 11.99$ and 14.99$. Also had a poor selection of rolls, in my opinion and the rolls we did have were loosely put together. Besides that the staff was quick and friendly. read more

Have been to this place and others in this chain before and it was ok. This time service and food was horrible. food never came to are table it kept going to the wrong tables and sitting on tables then picked back up and brought to us. We where there twice as long as normal and still left a all you can eat hungry! NEVER AGAIN read more

I was here last week with my family for dinner, the food was excellent, customer service was great. the price for the all you can eat dinner was definitely worth it, lots of options for vegetarians as well. Will be returning. read more

3.5 stars out of 4. It's basically like Kakemono. I went here for the dinner and the lunch before. It's way too expensive for all you can eat though. $18 for all you can eat lunch...that's crazy. Supper is between $21-26 depending on what day of the week you go (last time I was here it was at least). Food is decent. I don't get sushi with raw fish or meat, so I can't speak to that. But their vegetarian options of sushi are good. They taste pretty fresh and very yummy. The noodles are a little off. I got those chubby noodles with like a soy sauce dressing last time, they tasted like the smell of a garbage bag... It was soooo nasty. The portions have gotten smaller, but then again it is all you can eat so you can just get more. They seem to "forget" to bring you items sometimes, and They never bring them to you. The servers aren't super friendly and don't say a lot...but that's like any Chinese/Asian/Japanese restaurant. They also didn't come over to fill my water glass up much. Would I recommend??....probably, if your willing to pay that much for all you can eat. Although, it is better than the Mandarin and that's up there in price too. So 3.5/5 stars. Not the worst, but not the best. But I will go again, on a rare occasion though. read more
