Dishes that I would definitely recommend are the nabe udon, cream udon (not pictured), their yam avocado roll, and their volcano roll.

Other than that, I think my overall experience was quite good and I hope to come back and try other items!

Assorted Sashimi 5 kinds - loved the variety but we didn't like the squid or octopus at all. Next time we will just focus on tuna and salmon. Sakura Roll: 8/10. Boyfriend have it a 10/10. Super Dynamite roll: 8/10. Great flavor but roll is too big and hard to eat without taking a too big of bite or making a mess. Garlic Salmon Fried Rice: 10/10, what a surprise! My favorite dish of the night by far. Flavor was so umami. Highly recommend. Kokuto Umeshu ice cream: 10/10 such a nice light sweet flavor over vanilla ice cream. Overall food was fantastic.

We also asked for a bottle of the Momo Peach sake not knowing it was going to be $40 charge even though you can find it at Wine and Beyond for $23. It was 10/10 delicious but wow price hike. Lots of parking in the communal parking lot. 1 single stall bathroom available. Long bar seating only. Best to be on time as they do start right on time but people showed up 10minutes late and still got to catch up on the courses. No intro either. No dinner "show". Chefs do not "perform" or talk, you just get to see them prepare every dish. ~19 raw fish dishes, an egg dish, 2 soups, and dessert. You get plum wine (or tea if I misheard) at the end. Unfortunately I don't have any tolerance to wasabi and they added a pinch to some of the really good sashimi dishes (tuna) and it ruined the taste for me. Otherwise it was such a fun experience and we tried soooo many fish! Would try once but for the price and how much I personally like sashimi probably will not go again.

Each sushi reminds me of sushi in Los Angeles. Flavoured to enhance the fish! We also tried the salmon ikura bowl and it was sooooooooooo good. Highly recommended and loaded with so much toppings.

This is one of my favourite places to have Japanese food. (I can't just pick one, it would be like…read morepicking your favourite child.) Atmosphere is relaxed and minimalistic with a great chill vibe. Service is okay but I would say that all the times I have been there, the staff have not been super welcome or friendly. And this day was super busy, a Friday night and I don't think they had enough staff for the tables. Our dishes came by slowly which was fine because we were visiting with friends but don't expect to fly in and out. This is the one thing they can improve on. Luckily the food makes up for it. We ordered a bunch of things to share. The seasonal vegetable tempura Beef Tataki served with grated daikon, seaweed, sliced onion, ponzu dressing Black Cod with a miso marinade Japonais Premium Select -assorted chef's choice of maki rolls, sushi & sashimi We also sampled sake, beer, and Japanese whiskey Everything we had was delicous. The standout was the black cod with the miso marinade and the amazing selction of the Japonais Premium Select. A HUGE amount of rolls, sushi and sashimi. Definately worth the money if you are fine with the chef doing the choosing. Everything was super fresh. The only thing I think was just average was the tempura. It was no difference than the other places I have been to. Really worth making the reservation for, just keep in mind you may need to wait.

This time around I ordered the beef tataki, stir fried udon with chicken, miso soup and the 6 oz steak (for this one, a hot stone is brought to your table and you sear the steak on it; sauce are also available for this dish). I had green tea to drink and had green tea ice cream for desert. Service was very good and rapid, and very attentive and polite. The restaurant's ambiance is busy and popular, but it's quite easy to relax and enjoy the food and restaurant while there.

In all my years of eating sushi, I've never went to an AYCE sushi place until now. So this was my…read morefirst AYCE experience here. And after our dinner, this place will be pretty difficult to beat. We came here for our anniversary dinner. My boyfriend put in a reservation earlier, and once we arrived we were seated pretty quickly. It was a Monday night but I was so surprised at how packed the place was. This was our first time here so the server explained how ordering on the slip works. Wait time wasn't terrible. And like I mentioned before, this place was so packed and full of people. All the servers that night were weaving through aisles, delivering food, and taking orders. They were all hustling. Food was delicious. We started off with a couple of rolls like California Rolls, Avocado, Tuna, Salmon, and Tamago. The sushi rolls were pretty small, but I didn't have a problem with it. Since it's AYCE, I knew that we'd have much more food coming. I was very impressed by the quality of fish. It tasted very fresh. Also we ordered the seared Beef Nigiri and that was delicious. We ended up ordering more of that later. For the next round, we ordered Edamame, Beef (? it was like a beef galbi cut but I forgot the name of it on the menu), Chicken Skewers, Green Onion Cake, and Tempura. For our Tempura veggies we chose pumpkin, yam, and eggplant. I loved the tempura. It was definitely a highlight of the night. The batter was very crispy, light, and all the tempura came out hot. It was wonderful. We ended up getting more after the first round of tempura because it was too good. The Chicken Skewers were phenomenal. My boyfriend and I were saying that if we had the Chicken Skewers with rice, that would just be enough. The flavor of the sauce was great: savory, slightly sweet, it was reminiscent of a teriyaki flavor for me. And lastly, we had the BC Roll, Alberta Roll, Crunchy Roll, Philadelphia Roll, the seared Beef Nigiri again, and a few other rolls. At this point of the dinner we barely had any steam left but somehow we managed. Every single we thing we ate was just amazing. I wasn't disappointed by anything we ordered actually it was just great. I will say the Crunchy Roll had this smokiness that scratched my brain in the best way possible and I was so impressed by that bite. This was such an unforgettable experience and the best place we've spent our anniversary haha. 10/10, take my money. To Sushi Toshi, I'll be thinking about you.
