    They're always running great promotions for both dine-in and takeout, which makes this spot even easier to keep coming back to. The restaraunt is beautifully renovated. The restaurant gets very busy during dinner service, but they still manage to keep both dine-in and Uber orders moving efficiently. There's a huge selection of sashimi, specialty rolls, hot foods, dim sum, and Chinese dishes, and everything tasted fresh. What really stood out to us was that the rolls actually felt creative instead of being the same few ingredients rearranged twenty different ways. Some of our favorites were the salmon, white tuna, and sweet shrimp sashimi. Even the surf clam and tamago were surprisingly good, since those can often be too chewy or overly sweet elsewhere. The blowtorched sushi was phenomenal, especially with the sauce they finish it with, which added flavor without overpowering the fish. We also loved the grilled octopus and eel, both of which paired perfectly with beer. They're currently offering a dine-in promotion where AYCE customers get a complimentary oyster, and honestly, the oysters alone are worth mentioning. They're huge, incredibly fresh, and sourced daily. We're still talking about how they were some of the best oysters we've had in a long time. Kevin, the owner, was wonderful and clearly cares a lot about both food quality and the overall dining experience. You can tell he's constantly thinking about how to make the restaurant even better. He's definitely someone worth supporting and we wish him continued success!

    This restaurant, located near Weston & 401, serves some of the freshest sashimi and seafood I have ever had. And yes, they are AYCE, so you can stuff your mouth with their premium dishes! They have soups, skewers, tataki, nigri, sushi, sashimi, dimsum, fried items, and desserts. My favorites are the sashimi, shrimp skewers, sake mussel soup, Oreo McFlurry, and mango pomelo. Service can be a little slow when it's busy but that is all restaurants right? Ambiance is very cozy!

    I dont have high hopes for ayce. I prefer quality or quantity these days. Stumbled upon this one and i was very impressed. I had no complaints abt all the dishes i ordered. For ayce offerings, i think they killed it! Also, they have not just ur average ice cream and creme brulee for dessert. Try the mango sago and egg tart! Make sure u order them early, they sell out quick!

    First experience at Wakame sushi and it did not disappoint! We tried out a bunch of their dishes including sushi/sashimi, rolls, grilled items, snow crab, cheese baked mussels, and sushi crispy rice pieces! They recently just opened a milk tea bar as well, so we grabbed some drinks! I was very impressed with how everything was presented. The sushi/sashimi was fresh and they were generous with their cuts. The rolls were packed and super flavourful. The snow crab and cheese baked mussels were a great addition and definitely unique to AYCE menus! Grilled items were super tasty and the sushi crispy rice were fun to eat. Service was attentive and the place is nicely decorated. Would definitely come again! 4.5/5! Great AYCE option!

    Wakame Sushi an AYCE Japanese and Asian Cuisine paradise on Weston Rd. / HWY 401. Discover a variety of scrumptious options, including creative rolls, fresh sushi and sashimi, dim sum, grilled items, oysters, baked mussels and more! We visited on a Sunday and it was a bit busy but since the restaurant is spacious, finding a table wasn't a problem. We enjoyed the food very much. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Our favourites included sushi rolls, grilled squid, sashimi, grilled Kalbi, Mango Sago and the steamed buns with salted egg custard. We also tried the fresh oysters that's currently on special for $10 for 1/2 a dozen. Good food, friendly staff and ample parking spots. I recommend Wakame Sushi.

    We came here on a weekend and ordered dinner menu as we're sashimi-lovers. Their menu has great variety of sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, Tataki, dim sum, noodles and fried rice. You can either choose a la carte or all you can eat (AYCE). We loved how fresh the sashimi and rolls were. And also the fact that they gave maki rolls without rice; my favorite! Red tuna sashimi, white tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi and squid sashimi were our favorite; they were so fresh they would melt. The staff are welcoming and the service is fast. There's ample parking spaces available in the plaza and in front of the restaurant. The restaurant has a family-friendly vibe!

    This location is still surviving after covid. 5 of us and an infant were here on a Monday evening in November for a small, family celebration. We arrived at about 6.30pm and were able to select our own seating. The menu is on the self-order tablets most AYCE sushi places have nowadays. I like this style of sushi restaurant in that it offers Japanese and Thai dishes. The service time to deliver food was very quick, and the dishes were consistently cleared in a timely manner throughout our meal. One thing that didn't work for me was that you have to use the ordering system to request drink refills. I'm already having 2 simultaneous conversations and trying to eat, and the order pad isn't effortless to use. (At the end of the meal, we were automatically charged service add-on for more than 5 people, even though it was 5 plates charged for 5 people... I guess having an infant at the table makes us more than 5 people to serve.) So yes, I would appreciate not having to place an order for a drink refill. The food was decent value. The salmon sashimi was fresh. We ordered a number of rolls. The fillings were good, fresh and plentiful. It was the rice itself and the smoked salmon on one of the rolls that lost favour with me. I had a Thai red curry, one of my absolute favourite dishes. It was done well, the vegetables were super fresh and tender, not overcooked, and the shrimp were relatively huge. The deep fried dishes and dumplings weren't hot, but still ok. I was a little disappointed with the soup dumplings. I was really looking forward to the chocolate soft serve cone for dessert, but they were out, as were a couple other items on the menu. They still had regular chocolate ice cream, which, for some reason, always seems to be really good at Japanese AYCE restaurants. I tried the Oreo ice cream dessert. The crumble tasted legit but the vanilla ice cream was an artificial tasting concoction that was more like fake ice milk. Overall it's a decent place to go for a casual sit down meal. I've been before, I went again, and could easily find myself there in future.

    We used to visit Wakame Sushi only occasionally, but today we stopped by to order some sushi and rolls to go -- and were pleasantly surprised by how much the place has changed. The interior looks absolutely lovely now: beautiful sakura decor, clean and well-maintained dining area, thoughtfully designed walls, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that the restaurant has put care into both the food and the space. The food, as always, was fresh and delicious. But now, with the improved ambiance, it feels like a place you want to come back to -- not just for takeout, but to enjoy the experience. Very impressed and happy to see how Wakame Sushi has grown. We'll definitely be returning again soon!

    *PRE-COVID DINING EXPERIENCE OUTLINED BELOW* -[Pina Colada] $6.50 I mean, who doesn't love a good pina colada?! They make a pretty decent one if you ask me! ~ -[Wakame Roll] 6 pcs for $7.50 (when I originally ordered it 2 years ago LOL, currently listed at $8.50) ~THIS~ is the roll to get, if you ask me! It consists of deep fried roll that is filled with spicy tuna with additional spicy mayo drizzled all over it! Something about a deep fried roll really draws me in for some reason -[Volcano Roll] 8 pcs $8.50 This roll consisted of (according to the online menu) toasted scallop, crab with spicy sauce, on top of a fish roll! I remember this being good value for the price paid but it didn't leave a huge impression on me if I'm being completely honest [AYCE OR NOT DECISION STORY BELOW] Honestly, this place gives really good value for what you pay for! When I originally came here, my friend wanted the AYCE option but after I perused the menu, I discovered that the items I actually wanted weren't even on the AYCE menu. As such, we ended up persuading her into ordering a-la-carte! She ordered an absurd amount that was a lot but still didn't exceed the price of the AYCE option :') I am not kidding when I say she didn't even manage to finish what she ordered! [TAKEOUT EXPERIENCE BELOW] -[KYOTO BOX] $14.95 *2 pcs shrimp, 3 pcs crab meat, vegetable tempura *6 pcs california roll *choice of one of their many protein dishes like teriyaki chicken/beef/salmon, beef ribs, sesame chicken, or general tao chicken! I ate everything else before I became too full and managed to snap a picture of the tempura :') Honestly, this place is SO worth it! I would get food from here every week if I lived closer. Try it out if you're in the area~

    This was one of those dining experiences where every detail felt intentional…read more The presentation was beautiful without feeling overdone, and each piece was balanced and fresh. You can really tell there's a lot of care behind every course. What stood out to me most was how calm and focused the whole experience felt--it made it easy to slow down and actually enjoy each bite. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I want something a little more special.

    It's been a while since I've had omakase. Yasu was easy to reserve and was under $200pp. The menu…read moreincludes 16 courses which includes 1 appetizer (containing 4 dishes), 12 nigiri, tamago, soup, and dessert. There were three add-ons (toro with caviar $25, uni with caviar $35, and caviar sushi). I opted in for the toro and uni add-ons. It was strange they give you the add-ons before any other nigiri. Everything was very good and fresh. Standouts for me was the appetizer, all three cuts of bluefin tuna, the lobster (by far my favorite), and the hotaru ika. I would've appreciated knowing that the omakase included or not included toro and uni before I decided on the add-ons but I don't regret it. It was a splurge night after all. Service was very attentive. Note that the dining space is very small. 12 seats around the counter and two tables. There was a very loud gentleman two seats from me who never learned to use his inside voice and totally ruined vibe. But that's not on the staff. Another note is that gratuity is automatic on the bill.

We were seated in a separate room from the regular sushi counter. The chef carefully prepared each course in front of us.

The sushi courses were served afterwards followed by some desserts. They also gave us an extra dessert for the birthday celebrant. Each dish was really thoughtful and tasty, and the fish was really fresh. The highlight was definitely the A5 Wagyu beef course. The beef was so buttery and melted in my mouth. They even explained the quality of the beef and showed us a certificate of the beef's grading. It was worth the splurge for a special occasion! The meal was amazing and the restaurant itself was welcoming and not pretentious at all.
