    Lunch Bento Box 2
 served with rice, assorted tempura, 6pcs California roll, deep fried tofu, choice of chicken, salmon or beef
    Chris C.

    Makimono has been around in Pickering for several years, relatively close to home, but this is my first time going there. I don't know why it's taken me this long. They offer a variety of Japanese food, including sushi, teriyaki, and even some popular Chinese dishes. They feature an all-you-can-eat menu which includes sushi, in addition to daily lunch specials. I came in for lunch and opted for their Lunch Bento Box 2, which included my choice of teriyaki beef, assorted vegetable and shrimp tempura, California roll, deep fried tofu, miso soup, salad, and rice. For $14.95, this was a great deal, with very generous portions, and very good flavours! I actually ended up taking some of it home. In the past, they've had dining tables set up on a makeshift patio in the parking lot but a major construction project next door makes it quite dusty out there and unsuitable for dining. Their dining room, however, is quite cozy, with adequate seating. I'll definitely be back!

    This is definitely one of our favorite sushi AYCE to go to. Although as of last week , soft drinks are no longer included and yiu have to pay extra which is a bummer. Still, love this place.

    Shrimp tempura, Teriyaki chicken roll & salmon/Avocado roll

    We've been coming to this all-you-can-eat sushi bar for many occasions, and it's always a great experience. They offer a wide variety of sushi, fried items, fresh food, desserts, and more. We recently went for my brother's birthday, and since there were five of us, he got to eat for free, which was an awesome bonus. The staff were amazing as usual very friendly, helpful, and attentive. We'll definitely be coming back again!

    Tried out this chain of AYCE sushi restaurants on a weeknight around the holidays. It was $34.99 per adult on a weekday which is a bit steep but I guess inflation is at work. We really enjoyed the selection & quality offered. The price includes pop. You order on an iPad. Food is brought out quickly by the waiters and there are also some robot servers which was a fun touch. Honestly their weekday selection is great and all the food requested was delivered. We usually find with other ayce spots, some stuff is missed. Definitely our go to spot when we want ayce sushi.

    Makimono is a solid AYCE sushi restaurant in Pickering. The atmosphere is great, the service is prompt and it's not too busy on weekday afternoons. They offer the standard AYCE menu, but what sets them apart is their vegetarian options. They have a great Mango Roll, Yam, Tempura Roll and a couple of other great options. They get pretty busy on weekends.

    The food to price ratio here is excellent and I really appreciate the service since they are accommodating to all group sizes. I had the katsu chicken bento box. I did steal some shrimp tempura from friends as well and that was amazing. The katsu was average but for 15$ during peak hours, u can't complain.

    This place was DELICIOUS! The food was fresh, the menu was large and the service was good. Food 4/5 - The food was delicious, the meats were fresh and tasty. The sushi was average but still delicious. The tempura was delicious and the dipping sauce was one of the best I have ever had. Often the tempura sauce is too watery and lacking flavour but this one was very sweet and flavourful. Service 3/5 - The restaurant was busy and so some of our food took a while to come or never came at all. We had to reask for certain dishes because they never came. The sushi took the longest, which is surprising because it is usually the first thing to come out. Our dishes were not quickly taken off our tables like other sushi places I have been to, we would get new food and our server would pass by without picking up the dishes. But, when we wanted to order they were quick to send the order through and good at replenishing our water. Environment 4/5 - The place seemed large, modern and clean. It was busy with people, which is always a good sign.

    Definitely one of my favourite AYCE sushi places! Pros: - Friendly staff who are attentive and fast - iPad ordering - Good portions - Food is amazing - Dining area is clean Cons: - After a certain time, you can't order (so don't go late) - Washrooms are DIRTY! - Pretty pricey Overall, I would come back, you can't go wrong with an AYCE sushi place, especially when it's near by, has good service and food!

    Short rib dinner combo
    Amy B.

    Makimono is typically my goto for sushi, however as of late their sushi has not been what it used to be. I usually get a salmon hand roll however the salmon was not fresh and quite slimey. This time I ordered the short rib combo and was severely disappointed - the portion size of the amount of ribs and rice for $18.99 was not what I expected. For this cost a larger portion of more than 4 ribs would be fair, won't be ordering their dinner combos again, however will give their sushi a second chance.

    Hand rolls and specialty rolls
    Mi L.

    Good quality food. Fast service. Most AYCE places give you really small portions of the teriyaki dishes or anything that is not sushi or sashimi. This place also had dim sum and it was decent. Definitely worth coming back

    Golden California Roll was delicious with all those sauces!

    It saddens me to write this review because this was one of our favourite sushi spots in Pickering…read moreand one that we kept on our regular rotation during Covid to make sure we did our part to help them get through it. Unfortunately, over the past year, we have come here less and less because of "shrinkflation". I understand the price of everything has gone up and I can somewhat stomach that but when I'm paying more and getting less, I struggle to justify it. Sadly though, when we came here last night to get a takeaway, we were really disappointed that the quality of food has also taken a steep decline. The fish was not fresh and the rice had a musty smell and flavour to it. Even the spicy salmon rolls and california rolls left a lot to be desired. Overall, everything just lacked freshness and flavour. Needless to say, I did not enjoy my meal and I will likely be looking for a new sushi spot. The owners are such wonderful people though and they have fed us so well over the years that it just breaks my heart to see this decline. I hope it can get turned around.

She was patient, helpful, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Honestly, she's the reason I decided to come back a second time. Unfortunately, my second visit was very disappointing. There was a man working who was extremely rude and argumentative when we asked simple questions. Even after I clearly said we were dining in, he started removing items from our table before I had even begun eating. It felt rushed and uncomfortable. On top of that, he was on his phone the entire time from when we walked in until we left watching videos instead of paying attention to customers. I do want to mention that the cook did a great job, and the sushi was excellent. The food quality itself was not the issue. However, customer service makes a big difference, and this experience really took away from it. I hope management addresses this because the restaurant has potential, especially with staff like Wendy.

    Finally a Japanese Sushi Restaurant that serves proper Sushi Rice…read more We were getting frustrated with ordering from Chinese/Korean run Japanese restaurants or worse Grocery Store sushi. At best they would rate a 2 star. There were no good sushi to be found in Durham Region. Bold statement but true. Kobo has been around forever. We used to go here weekly when it was a fish market. Fresh salmon daily. I'm not sure why we stopped when it turned into a restaurant. For years I thought it changed ownership. But it hasn't. We tried their sushi yesterday and it was delicious. Definitely a perfect score. This is what I always remembered what sushi tasted like but couldn't find. We can have sushi and Japanese food more often now! So excited.

    2.5 stars Kobo…read moreGourmet is a decent Japanese owned Japanese restaurant if you are far out in the East... but definitely not comparable to some of the Japanese sushi place in Toronto. Most of the dishes ordered for the night is passable... not bad.. but will I order those again.. not really... and Would I ask my friends to come and try... oh not really... The only thing I enjoy is Kobo Omakase Sushi as I am always a sushi fan. Those sushi they serves here at Kobo are bite size which is smallish...the fish are fresh and tasty. I am not too crazy about the deco...as I do believe that where you eat does enhances the totally experience... and if I pay Kobo prices, I do expect some ambiance! The services though really sweet and attentive.

Which were: Spicy Salmon Roll Dragon Roll Yam Tempura Roll I called ahead and placed an order and they told me it would take about 20min. When I arrived, I saw that they offered a cash discount for 10% off. When I inquired, they told me that the discount only applies if you buy their loyalty card. This is the first time I've heard about purchasing a loyalty card, but anyway I decided to opt out of that as this was my first time here and I wasn't sure if I would become a regular here yet. My total bill came out to $27 which is a tad on the pricey side, but I was willing to give it a go, especially based on their great reviews. They food it self was pretty good. The quantity was great, but the quality wasn't amazing, mainly for the Yam Tempura roll. Overall, I did enjoy my food, but I don't think this will be my new regular spot. Side Note: They do accept Credit, but they don't accept AMEX
