Randomly stopped by for dinner and ordered the Matsu Combo One (Tuna, salmon, hookigai, ebi and kanikama with 8 pieces California maki and a salmon skin hand roll). The sushi is fresh but roughly made with a lot of rice. Service was nice and attentive to needs. Good thing is there is plenty of selection from the menu for everyone to find something they would like. read more

New Generation Grill Fusion - Matsu Combo One - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Friend bought us there for a farewell dinner. We were seated a long table for 6-8 ppl. Staffs were very attentive and friendly, particularly a lady called Christine, I guess she is the owner . Christine told us it was AYCE before but they changed to Al La Carte during pandemic so, easy for take out order. We let Christine placed the quantities of the order based on what we like most. Foods came out fast in nice settings. Food quality were fresh and 6 of us really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and attentive service. Will definitely come back ! read more

Came here for the all you can eat sushi and was not disappointed. The price was reasonable and the speed of the order was great. To order, you place your order at the table and it's brought out to you -- it's not a buffet. And the sushi and sashimi are the same quality if you'd placed a single order. It's not quite a five because there could have been more wasabi and one of my friends had to request the gluten-free soy sauce a couple of times before the wait staff got around to it. These minor setbacks aside, this is an outstanding place to eat. read more

New Generation Grill Fusion - Salmon hand rolls, sashimi, and nigiri. And a rainbow roll in the background. - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

What can I say? Great atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious food....what more can I ask for? New Generation Sushi is located on Bloor Street just west of Spadina. It's at a convenient location where the parking lot is available just across the street. The restaurant is cute and comfy and take all precautions for Covid 19. Each booth is divided with dividers and I actually like that. Feels more private. The sashimi was fresh and the maki rolls were not huge or too tiny. I really enjoyed the short ribs and the teriyaki steak. If your in the area looking for somewhere to eat, this is the spot. read more

I've always liked New Generation, and their 2 locations right across the street from each other on Bloor, west of Spadina. One spot is now under a new name. But I was really disappointed ordering today with the VERY very small portions - and the price you pay for them. I guess it can be blamed on the delivery apps taking up to 30% from the restaurants, but I got 4 bacon scallops for $12, 6 or 7 Beef short ribs for $16, and the portion of Urajiro was very small for the price. So disappointed. It cost over $70 for 4 small items, and they were small enough that I had to order again 7 hours later from another restaurant for dinner. Normally, $70 should get me two meals out of an order. read more

My favourite place for AYCE sushi place in all of Toronto!!! So much better than Kaka in terms of price vs quality and service. MUST ORDER on the menu is their fusion rolled. Omg the creamy torched salmon mayo on top of the roll literally melts in your mouth. I had an out of body experience when I took my first bite. Their menu is HUGE as well, from fried chicken to mega salad to chicken katsu don. Their Salmon and White fish sashimi is always fresh and they don't load on rice like other AYCE sushi places. Best part of the whole restaurant is the service, the manager is this very lovely lady whom we greet everytime we visit. We left Toronto for a year and the first week back we visited New Gen and she remembered us :'). Talk about amazing. read more

I'd say it's tied fory favourite sushi spot on the strip, with Sushi on Bloor. HOWEVER, ONLY NEW GENERATION HAS a spicy veggie maki roll, and it's the kind of thinf you crave and fantasize about once you've tried it. Even my friends who are not vegetarian option leaning love this roll. Everything else is great quality great taste. Prices went up significantly when they closed their first shop and just moved to the further west location near Bathurst, that's why not give stars. read more

For a long time, Aji Sai was my go to AYCE sushi buffet. However, it wasn't always the most convenient and I was starting to see the decline in quality and decided to try New Generation. The original New Gen was my go to sushi restaurant when I just wanted a simple bento box. The prices were reasonable and the food tastes great. So before I even tried their AYCE restaurant, I was sure it'd be a sufficient find for an AYCE joint in the downtown area. The sushi was good, pretty fresh and they didn't use too much rice in their Maki rolls thankfully! There were lots of options as well. The service was okay. It's not as poor as how others experienced it though. Our food came at a reasonably time, sometimes the waitresses would forget things like spicy mayo or extra wasabi but because we had good conversations going with our group, we were patient. When it was starting to get packed, we never felt like the staff was rushing us which we appreciated. If anything, it felt like the people in line were rushing us because they couldn't stop glaring at us! I'd come here again if I'm ever in the need for AYCE sushi. If you're in the area, give it a try. It's hard to tell since the reviews are on opposite spectrums! read more

I would give this restaurant 10 if possible. It was the best Japanese restaurant ever. Owner and staff is super friendly, very attentive, super polite, such amazing and great people. Love meeting and talking to them. The quality of the seafood, fish, everything, even the cooked dishes was amazing. Super fresh, super delicious, everything was amazing. No words could describe the freshness, the quality and the taste. It was the best Japanese dinner ever. (Even better than an high end omakase restaurant I've tried) We specially requested different types of fish and other special items that are not on their menu. If you have any special request you must pre order 1 week in advance so that they can get you the freshest fish from Japan. This restaurant is a must try and you will 100% not be disappointed. Super amazing people and delicious food. I highly recommend trying this amazing restaurant and I will 100% be back again!!!! Already looking forward to the next time. Special thanks to the super amazing and friendly owner, for allowing us to experience and eat such an amazing dinner. read more

This is my friend's spot for AYCE in the city so we went here a few days ago. Neither of us were particularly hungry so we decided to skip the AYCE and order off the lunch specials ($7.99). We got the spicy tuna rolls, an order of their udon soup and salmon don don. I didn't care for the salmon dish - it lacked flavor but I will say the portion size is huge and you get lots of salmon. Lots! The spicy tuna was actually spicy and I loved the flavourful broth of the soup. Service is friendly and quick and they are always busy. We went for a late lunch and it was still pretty packed with people continuing to stream in. read more

This is downtown Toronto's best kept secret for ayce sushi. For $24.99, we got to eat wide variety of rolls including torched salmon, lobster (Canadian roll), salmon roe (pacific roll), etc. Their appetizers are also very yummy, our favorite was the kalbi ribs. However, some items were a clear miss. Our sweet potato fries were overly salted and peppered unequally sliced sweet potatoes that were then fried to a mush but not crispy state. The wait is very long so make sure you make an rsvp before showing up on weekends. read more

Hello Yelpers! Went here for lunch. We tried the all you can eat meal. It was pretty pricey but the menu included sashimi. It's basically one price for everything in the menu whether it is lunch or dinner. Quality of the food is okay. I found the fried rice too greasy, the chicken Karage too fried, the takoyaki balls were too fried as well. The enoki mushrooms were okay. The dynamite rolls were dry. The sashimi tasted fresh. The ginger ice cream was pretty nice, refreshing. In terms of the service, unsure if the lady was new but she forgot to give us our individual plates. And she just seemed lost or overwhelmed. But it's okay, she'll improve. The other male server seemed stressed out too as it took a while for him to come to us and get orders. Would I come back again? Probably not. Sorry. read more

Cute and quiet place for the most part depending on the time and what not. Anyways, my friends and I came here Friday night for dinner. Wasn't too busy or packed until later around 8ish. Plenty of items to pick from on their menu including that from their all you can eat options. The options are quite large and filling so order carefully because you may have more food on your table then you expected. The food was fresh enough and their seaweed salad option is HUGE which is a favourite of time. The servers are nice and attentive Definitely a place to check out if it's all you can eat. read more

For what you pay for, it's not too bad. Service is fast. And when it's busy, it's not a place you want to sit and catch up. It feels like being in a restaurant in Hong Kong. The efficiency of them from taking your orders to serving you your food, clearing the plates and bringing your bill is faster than speed of light! The sushi roll made was abit too loose that when I used my chopsticks to pick it up, the till started to fall apart which got quite messy. read more

Last night was the first time I've been in this New Gen location. It's sleeker than the other, and there was an intimidating line at Sushi On Bloor so we landed on New Generation after a 30 minute spring stroll towards this almighty strip of cheap sushi. The decor and AYCE here will definitely get me back her again. Cartoon Godzilla? Cool. $20 all-you-can-eat dinners with a fairly extensive menu? Cooler. Last night I opted for Maki Set B and some gyozas and it was far too much food, and I enjoyed it immensely, especially the spicy tuna rolls. In closing, this location is great because it was never closed for murder. Remember that? How could you forget murder... read more

If I had to sum this place up in two words, it would be inconsistent and random. I was drawn into this place based on the hype of their sister company, New Generation Sushi. We were craving sushi, and lets face it, the Annex is filled with tons of random sushi joints. But if I could get my Korean fix while I'm at it, then why not. The inconsistencies I'm referring to was mostly with our miso soups. One of us had mostly tofu, one of us had mostly seaweed, and one of us had mostly green onion. It wasn't a problem at all. It was just amusing :) We each ordered a sushi roll, and my friend's dragon roll was more appetizing than my spicy salmon roll (which wasn't all too spicy at all). The dragon roll even came with some salmon sashimi, which was a nice touch. My two friends ordered two different bento boxes, but we swear that they were practically the same. None of us could recall the difference. And underneath their tempura was a spring roll, which once again, we found amusing :) I ordered a chicken bibm bahb, which was packed with plenty of chicken. My only disappointment was that the rice was served in a separate bowl, so I had to mix the rice in myself (which didn't give it the crispiness I like). The server was kind enough though, to offer to mix everything herself. As for the hot sauce, it was served in a mustard looking bottle, which, say it with me, we found amusing :) All in all, we were all satisfied. The servings are huge though, and with each of us getting a sushi roll, it was more than enough food than we could consumer. To top things off, they offered us some ice cream on the house. With their huge servings, cheap prices, and all-around amusingness, I'll definitely be back! read more

A solid 5 star experience at New Generation Grill Fusion. Came an hour late for my Buddys birthday because parking isn't guaranteed when you arrive in the area. Took an extra 40 mins finding parking plus it was raining, parked 2 blocks down the road and walked up even tho there is a Green P right in front of the joint, thats how it goes. I was actually surprised that they still had my buddy save the seats even tho there was a huge line up when we arrived. The washroom is down the stairs and isn't as sketchy as some other places when you take the stairs down just to wash your hands. Our waitress was on POINT! Performance exceeded any expectations I had about this place. She was fun and smiled and made us all feel very comfortable. THE FOOD! I forgot what it was called on the menu but it was like fried chicken nuggets which were BOMB! the best thing I tasted at any sushi spot, it deserves the 5 star because of the chicken alone, we also got the assorted sushi platter which was delicious but it has cream cheese in one of them which I loved. if your not a fan of cream cheese in the sushi I wouldn't suggest getting it. Everything else I enjoyed and the ice-cream they had ginger ice-cream! lol so its only right that I get that read more

Looking for a late night meal along bloor and found this gem. Across the street from Green P parking was a plus. Nice decor, great lighting (seriously this would be a great first date spot). As a vegetarian I had TONS of options including appetizers. Food was really good, the tempura could've been a bit more seasoned but soy sauce made up for it. Excellent service as well, and towards midnight as the crowd thinned out, we were offered ice cream on the house (which I accepted, of course). I would definitely return. read more

Came here for ayce lunch over the Easter weekend. First off ordering is taken by the server. No iPad or menu sheet ordering like other places. This made for a slow service. Generally food was average. Ratio of protein to rice in both their maki and nigiri leaned towards more rice. Rice was bland and lacked 'hold'. Maki and nigiri easily fell apart when picked up with chopsticks. Tempura shrimp were on the small side. Sashimi choices were very limited for a weekend ayce. Lastly presentation and plating was haphazard. Considering the price charged I felt overall it wasn't value for money. read more

I have been to this restaurant twice. Both had AYCE as dinner. There are a lot options, there are some selections hard to be found in other AYCE restaurants. But they don't have iPad menu read more

I'm craving sushi already after eating there today! I was surprised to find that all we ordered tasted sooo good! Even better, it is an "all u can eat" restaurant. The staff were super friendly and kind. They kept refilling our cups with water without even asking them to. They open till 11pm which is perfect for the city which closes early especially on weekends. I would recommend the spicy tuna maki, spicy salmon maki, red dragon, shrimp butteryaki, infamous fusion, and their mango ice-cream! read more

It's interesting to see other reviews that were very positive including it being "the best korean grill in town" cause I thought it was absolutely the worst. To it's credit, I like the physical grills there. They were hot, and cooked fast. Not in it's favour: - Innattentive staff - Slow service - Portions of meat brought to the table were very small. Yes it's all you can eat. But when the service is shitty, it's more frustrating that you have to keep getting their attention to get more food. - I had to repeat requests. If find the service lacking at most Korean BBQ restuarants, and I think many others do to. But it's usually not so bad that it doesn't outweigh the quality of the food and the good price. The fact that I was so incensed by the service shows how bad it was. My dinner companion agreed as well. I was actually livid by the time my meal was over and glad to leave. I'll go back to my regular Korean BBQ thanks. I gave this 1 star only because the food was still ok. read more

Finally managed to get our hear for some Korean BBQ last week. It was actually the first time for a lot of us, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I will say that the staff was friendly and the food was delicious. Sadly, most of my dining companions weren't particularly adventurous, so I didn't get the chance to try some of the more interesting items (squid, liver, etc.). There's definitely a good selection of items to suit every palate. Definitely looking forward to a return visit! read more

So it's not called New Generation Fusion anymore, and serves up the same menu as New Gen (the original down the street) wih a fancy all you can eat menu ($21.95) They fully renovated with sleek modern design reminiscent of Guu but not really. They got rid of the Korean BBQ and the menu is mainly Japanese. The food is tasty but at a quality that's Bloor street. This isn't to say its not good but not as refined as some other higher end restos. We got a Nabeyaki udon and I ordered a bunch I appetizers including Karaage chicken cartilage (which not many restos have)$8.95, beef short ribs $8.95 and spider roll $9.95. Reading my last review, they don't have this $10.95 Kalbi Bento anymore, which would have been nice, because all I wanted was short ribs and I could choose from only the appetizer or a $19.95 Short Ribs and Chicken Bento. It was hard to pick because the menu has all the staple Japanese foods. But also not any different than the resto down the street. Would have been nice if they kept some of the Korean All meals came with soup salad and free ice cream. read more

It was a full house when I arrived so I had to wait 15 minutes before I got seated. I had my mind set from the get go to order the ayce option because I was really hungry at the time. Usually ayce sushi restaurants provide you with an order sheet for indicating the quantity of each type of food you want. At this particular restaurant they take your order old school style (i.e. the waitress manually takes your order by jotting it down on a note pad). The service was surprisingly fast despite there being so many customers to serve. The food was okay for the price but I've had better. There were two orders where they goofed and sent me duplicates. For example, I ordered 10 pieces of salmon sashimi and they sent me two plates of salmon sashimi each with 10 pieces on it. That was not so bad because salmon sashimi is one of my favourite dishes. However, there was one dish in particular that left me shaking my head asking myself "WTF is this?!!!" If they had not told me it was chicken pad thai, I would not have recognized it because it was just a plate of bean sprouts with chicken on top. The rice noodles, eggs, tofu, and roasted peanut bits were nowhere to be found. Some of the waitresses were nicer than others. There was one in particular who was very rude and impatient when I asked her for the contents of certain dishes because I didn't understand the Japanese words they used in the menu. However, when she spoke to the table next to me, she sounded very submissive and accommodating as if she was trying to suck up to them. The only difference that I could see between me and my neighbours was that I was Asian and they were white. So be on the lookout for this type of preferential treatment, especially if you are an Asian eating by yourself. read more

The hubby and I have been going to New Generation (original location aka "MurderGen" - on account of the murder and all) for years until the kid came along and now we're yearning for more space but refuse to defect and go to that bastard location Sushi on Bloor - so we checked out this new location aptly now dubbed "Non-MurderGen". As far as the food goes, Non-MurderGen is pretty on par with MurderGen, definitely the same sushi menu with some added dishes for the new Korean BBQ menu. And there is definitely space to be had for strollers and such. However what this new location gains in space (and not freezing your ass off in line outside of the original location hoping to God you get a booth and not the bar), it lacks in dish consistency and service. Our miso soups were different. I had the seaweed and the hubs had the tofu...we decided to split half of each others. And we had to ask a few times for chopsticks, which one would believe to be fairly standard at a sushi restaurant. Plus it doesn't have that waiter at this location who remembers who we are and gives us free edamame. No free edamame - no 4th star!!! read more

I went there for lunch on a Tuesday. Not that busy around 1:00pm. They have a decent lunch menu for $5.99 which includes miso soup and green salad. The miso was a bit watery and the green salad was cut up lettuce and dressing. I order the bento box with chicken (or beef) and it was a decent size. It was sliced chicken instead of the usual slab. The bento came with rice, veg tempura and 3 pieces of salmon maki. I was actually full. I'd come back to try the all you can eat korean BBQ next time. For $9, it seems like a great deal - chicken, beef, fish and squid with lots of side dishes. read more

New Generation Grill Fusion... New Generation Sushi... this gives me the same sensation of 'a Starbucks across from a Starbucks' that you find in some large cities (probably somewhere in Toronto as well). You feel as if you should be able to step into some kind of time-warp... anyways, moving on. I have only ever been for the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ lunch special (slap the word 'lunch' or 'special' on something, and I'm THERE, baby). Here are my thoughts: - Can't they just leave a teapot on the table? They need to pour one cup at a time? - I know it's traditional for waiters/waitresses to take a long-ass time at all-you-can-eat places, but it gets a bit ridiculous. It just got to the point where my group told the server, 'Just bring 3 of each meat, plus a whole bunch of pickles'. If you're going to eat bbq here, make sure you have the time to kick back, relax, and pack it in. - They need plates bigger than espresso cup saucers for banchan. MORE PICKLES! - I did have a sushi lunch special here once, and was really disappointed. Dried-out rice, and the fish had a 'consistency'. It had been sitting 'round a while. read more

I love AYCE sushi and thought I'd try this place for dinner. The food was ok. I didn't like the fact that the rolls had so much rice in them that I was full after a few dishes. I usually like to try a lot of dishes. I don't think I will be going back. read more

One of my favourite sushi standbys. Unreal lunch specials. $6.99 for everything and lots of choices. The quality is always on point too! Great AYCE with a group or regular menu on your own. I always come back to here! read more

I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible, considering that I am not a Korean BBQ fan (not of this variety, anyhow). I came here with 3 other friends who were taking part in the AYCE meat-fest, and so I opted for one of my regular orders of sushi, the Ume Box, from the original New Gen. To try and convince the server that I was there to have sushi, and not partake in the grill portion was a bit of a challenge. Understandably, they were suspicious - damn those few bad apples who've ruined it for the rest of us non-grillers! After speaking with their manager (dramz!) they finally conceded, though not before requesting that I shift one seat over so that I be completely separated from the rest of the group. Really? Really?! Of course, I ignored that request and went about chomping on my skimming-average sushi to prove a point: yes! I really am NOT going to steal nibble of grilled beef! The rest of the group seemed to really enjoy the grill though - the beef and kalbi ribs were especially popular, and everyone definitely left with their $15 worth of food. Place was pretty clean, though surprisingly busy come 7:00 on a Friday. And there we have it: an averagely written review for a generally average spot in the Annex. read more

This review is only for the "Sushi" part of the menu. How does a restaurant owned by the same people, with the same menu, and the same prices be so different? We passed by New Generation down the street, and didn't feel like witing in line [a line that always seems to be there ... take that as a hint people]. I remembered that New Gen Fusion had the same menu, so we decided to try it out. Menu is the same, but they also have a Korean BBQ menu. Half the resto seemed to be eating from the Japanese menu, and the other half from the Korean menu. We split the Take Box. Salad - standard [... doesn't regular New Gen put a tomato in there? .. can't rember] Miso Soup - Tepid. If miso soup isn't almost boiling hot, what's going on. Beef Teriyaki - Looked ok, but tasted a little like it was reheated or steamed.boiled in some way. Tempura - Half hot and half warm. Again, tempura that's not hot isn't worth serving. Gyozo dumpling - good. Sushi upgrade - have't had it before, so don't know if we didn't like this one or this type in general. Summary: Maybe the kitchen had a severely off day. Or maybe I'll try the Korean BBQ and cook the food myself next time. read more

Went here for the $5.99 lunch specials. Salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, grilled chicken/beef and some California rolls was ordered. We found the teriyaki sauce too sweet for our palette - our salmon and chicken were swimming in the sauce. Miso soup a bit too watery. Other than that the portions were sufficient, tons of rice, fast service since it wasn't very busy and cheap! Their regular menu also has Korean items. I haven't tried the AYCE grill but for lunch it is only $8.95. Once I went to their other location on the south side of Bloor which had a line up - they sent us to this location with a flyer that said 10% off. read more

AYCE sushi is usually good to me and this one is no different. The food was fresh and tasted amazing! especially their sashimi :) but my favourite was the takoyaki! The only downside is that they didn't have pictures of their menu and I believe the cost of dinner on the Sunday I went, was 27$. It's a bit pricey and does not compare to other AYCE sushi places, I love sushi and I could name a few other ones that I'd recommend over new generation. Although it is a good place, I think they have some pretty big competition, only cause I've been to ones I've liked more. read more

This is my new favourite AYCE sushi place. Food is mindfully prepared, very well balanced, sashimi VERY fresh, beef tataki is well aged/marinated and the rolls are perfect temperature, with well combined flavours.

The price is reasonable with $25 for weekend dinner and $21-22 for weekday. read more

New Generation Grill Fusion - AYCE menu - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

A fail safe and well established place in the annex. There are two new generation restaurants, one on the north side of bloor which is newer, and the original on the south side of bloor. Some people prefer the original new generation but I like the newer one on the north side because the menu has more Japanese food. Can't really go wrong with any of the menu items. If you are there early as in before 7pm,there's lots of seats but the place does get very busy with all the students in the area. read more

If you want AYCE sushi just for the sake of stuffing yourself with sushi, appetizers, and sashimi: go to New Gen. Boyfriend and I love AYCE more than the average person and we can eat A LOT. After hitting up every AYCE sushi on Bloor, New Gen is definitely our favorite now. We went there on a Saturday night which was a full house. Despite it being busy, we got our orders in a timely manner and the biggest perk was that they never missed a single order from us even though they take orders by jotting it down on a notepad unlike other AYCE! I swear to god we ordered over a hundred pieces of salmon sashimi and they were on point with the thickness and count. read more
