    a variety of foods on a table
    Cindy L.

    Great value! I actually enjoyed their rolls more than the garlic beef dish. Great salad app, miso soup Sweet potato tempura roll was BOGO and it was on point! The Sano roll had almost everything i liked - soft shell crab, shrimp tempura, bbq eel, fish egg and avocado- but somehow I expected more from it. Overall good value and will likely try a couple other things when I'm in the mood for sushi in the future!

    Ordered the sushi and sashimi combo from the a la care menu which came with miso soup and salad on the side. No substitutions are allowed for the combos according to the waitress so had to stick with the two eel sushi pieces. Decent tasting sushi. Service was quick and efficient, we didn't have to wait long to order and get food (important as we were starving!). The restaurant itself was busy for a Sunday afternoon with most patrons opting for the AYCE but we did not need to wait for a table. If you're looking for a quick sushi bite around the area, this is a solid spot!

    In the last 10 years or so this is the second incarnation of a sushi place in this exact location. Both places just also happened to be AYCE. I find a lot of sushi AYCE places start out strong but towards their end, they slowly but surely go downhill. Usually the service starts to go downhill then the food follows, then the hunt for the next great sushi place begins anew. So is the life cycle for an AYCE sushi joint it seems in the GTA. This place though seems to have a little bit more staying power I largely suspect due to the fact that the owner always seems to be around. Ever since the place first opened there is always a gentleman there. At first I assumed it was just the usual owner/manager keeping things in check then moving on to other things. But over time I noticed that nearly every time I went here, this same owner was doing something different. He would be making sushi one day, cleaning tables and serving the next. A few times I went here and didn't see him and thought he's finally taking a day off, but half way through my meal lo and behold I see him come out of the kitchen with an apron on I assume as he also cooks! It goes a long way for me when I see the owner/manager wear so many different hats. Having said that, it's a great plus to see him around as when he is I know that I will be getting exactly what I ordered. This place has menus where you can check off what you want on a piece of paper unlike a lot of newer places with their iPad. The menu is a very good variety of your standard fare AYCE sushi. If you have a huge craving for great sushi I don't hesitate to recommend this place, as they are very consistent in what they deliver each order and each time i go. Other places, the first order may be great but after that, the sushi pieces can slowly become stuffed with more rice (filler) and less meat. Portions start to get smaller each order and eventually it will look like they just threw pieces together. A pretty standard tactic for AYCE that tells you you have over stayed your welcome, but I never saw the food quality degrade during a meal here. And having been here a number of times I can say whole heartedly that they are very consistent. I would say this place is a very solid 3.5 star out of 5. This is still an AYCE, so keep your expectations in check as it's not an omakase meal here. But for an AYCE sushi place, this is probably one of the more consistent spots in the GTA. And with all the AYCE sushi places coming and going, it says a lot when someone says that this place is consistent in their food. Though be forewarned the service can be spotty, and mixed up orders do occur. Again its an AYCE place, so I can't say it's the best ever, but it definitely hits the spot when i have a craving for an AYCE sushi. TIP: Bring cash as their is a 10% discount if you pay in cash.

    Salads Drowning in Dressing!

    Everything that served here at Sano Sushi are drowned in some kind of orange sauces and gravy. I know I am in one of those AYCE Japanese nightmare when I saw my salads.. especially my Wakame salad that looks like a soup? My Red Tuna sushi looks so red just like one of those plastic fake one that used to decorate display windows, I really feel like I am falling deeper and deeper in this bad dream... Fried Fish Cake? that looks like a solid cube with a funny texture...and I think this tasted like the exact same sauce that is on my cold Grilled Salmon Neck? Why are the Sano shrimps (deep fried breaded shrimps) so cold and more orange sauces on top of them?! I just cannot do this anymore... at least the green tea ice cream bring me back to reality... 15% off if paying cash... But I don't think this is enough incentive for me to come here ever again!

    We was going to sit in the patio but they told us there bees and mosquito so they moved us to a private room which is not bad. It is all you can eat and the price reasonable. A lot of stuff to choose from and it is fresh. Will definitely come back here again.

    Ordered a platter for delivery via skipthedishes. I haven't been to much sushi places in Vaughan but this is now one of my favourites. Their fish to rice portion is AMAZING. There's little rice on the sushi and It's amazing. Sometimes, I would take out some rice out of sushi but Sano had a good ratio that I ate theirs as is. Presentation wise, it's not pretty. The rolls were also falling apart. But overall, the fish also tasted fresh. Will 100% dine in sometime soon.

    I ordered from Sano Sushi last night using SkipTheDishes. The order was confirmed after about 5 minutes, and it was delivered within 35-40 minutes, so it was fast enough. The tempura was not good at all, i only had few bites and couldn't finish the appetizer portion. The breading on the shrimp was too light and tasteless, it was also over done and way over-fried! The vegetables tasted old and barely had any tempura breading on them. The edamame were ridiculously bad! My favourite app is the edamame wherever I go, however, I inly had 4 or 5 of this one, And it did it for me! No taste, no texture, seemed old 100%, no salt, nothing! As for the rolls, the shrimp roll didn't taste good at all, overpowering fish-eggs a d seaweed taste, while the only thing that tasted good was the spicy california rolls. Smaller portion/roll size compared to competition, but charging premium prices. I paid $40 for the above order as in the photos attached! Absolute rip-off for a tasteless bunch of items. I will not re-order from here, there are much better options nearby!

    This is a little Japanese restaurant that serves all your typical Japanese buffet food including sushi, maki rolls, teppanyaki, tempura, salad, katsu, handrolls, and desserts (and also with Chinese, Thai, and Korean options too). This was my first time here and I enjoyed the food! The selection was plentiful and the food arrived quickly and without anything being missed. I especially liked the curry chicken katsu (comfort food!), yakitori (which had amazingly tender chicken), seaweed salad, green dragon roll, cheese mango maki (who would have known that cheese and mango would work so well together?), mushroom teppanyaki, chocolate mousse, and salmon sushi. The cheese wonton was good too and had gooey cheese melting out of it!

    Bento box meals tastes actually ok. Salmon teriyaki - tougher than what I had desired hence not a 4 star or higher Udon noodle soup was ok. Nothing really that stood out. Tastes at par with Smart Cook in Markham though Smart Cook's soup base seem more flavourful (and no or little msg as I don't get the usual getting-so-thirsty effect of msg). Try the beef bento as my kids seem to enjoy that more and didn't bother getting more of my salmon. Chicken katsu was quite acceptable though Nak Won's katsu is a clear winner compared to this. Lots of space here with room for a reservation of up to 20 people. Sushi was ok but not spectacular. Worth a try but not a place I would go out of my way to dine in.

We were then told that the business will be going through a rebrand with a new name and new menu offerings. For the moment the only thing that has changed is the menu.

Flavours are still good with decent portions. We were checked on several times so service was good. What was a miss was how the food came out of the kitchen. Food came out sporadically with the last dish a full 10 minutes after the first leaving that person sitting and waiting while everyone else ate. This is still a very popular place.

If we were to give the place, another chance we would wanna mention to the servers right at the start the experience we had the last time and to make sure none of these issues were to arise again. The ambiance would've been better if it wasn't so noisy and that's without full tables nearby. Parking in the plaza is very difficult, anď time consuming.

I enjoyed my dish as well- the omelette had good amount of mushrooms and cheese, so every bite was tasty. Also, the drink was refreshing and lightly sweet, which was great. In addition, the bear (made out of sugar) hanging by the rim was beary cute! During our meal, our waitress came by a few times to ensure that we had enough napkins and cold water.

The bun was lightly toasted, bacon crispy, easily taking this into my top 3 fav spots for burgers!

    The service is incredible here, and the vibe is cool-chic. Just loving the atmosphere here…read more As for the food, don't expect it to be a "traditional Izakaya" here, but that's not a bad thing. They do the "traditional" dishes with a twist / fusion. For example, the black cod is usually feel heavy with the miso based sauce, but they added some acidity to the sauce and they made the black cod taste rich and light (not to mention the black cod was perfectly cooked); traditionally the Brussels Sprouts would be finished by tossing balsamic vinegar over it. Sometimes that would still feel heavy. Instead, they tossed it with strawberry vinaigrette. So the acidity is very light and not too sweet. We finished our meal with the Yokai Signature Maki. Yes, they SHOULD be proud of this Maki enough to put their name on it. They hit it on the nail with the taste profile. I have a zero tolerance with spiciness, so they put the spicy mayo on the side, and I encouraged my wife to dip the Maki with it. She confirmed my suspicion that the spicy mayo took the maki to another level. We definitely will come to try other dishes. Edit: they comped us a slice of Matcha Cheesecake. While it is still not my cup of tea, but I was very impressed with how good it taste. My "dislike" is with cheesecakes because they feel heavy. Though it is still on the heavy side for me, but as soon as I spoon in a bit of the strawberry sauce, it just lightened up the whole thing. They have successfully amazed me with how well they play with taste.

    I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. 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. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.
