I haven't been to a buffet for awhile. I am impressed with this restaurant. It has myriad of foods to choose from and piping hot too. They have a full bar inside. The dining is of considerable size. I saw groups and groups of patrons dining in and incoming. The food must be good. I admit I was not disappointed. With the lunch price, it is not bad. They even served Tri - Tip. I haven't even tried all the food especially the dessert and I was full to my throat. Our server, kept on checking on us and making sure we weren't neglected. I would definitely come back. Facilities are clean, stocked and have adequate stalls. Parking is free and plenty of them.

This is a buffet restaurant. The choices are many. Quality is what you'd expect. Some is OK other stuff on the steam table to long. Service was good.

Best Chinese buffet in Edmonton. Easily the best Chinese buffet in town, food is always fresh, lots of western Chinese food & authentic Chinese items like char siu, dim sum, wonton soup. Great variety of desserts like ice cream, egg tart, sesame balls, cookies and ect. The dim sum station that has everything from siu mai to chicken feet, sticky rice & black bean steamed ribs, bbq pork buns etc.

I haven't been to a buffet in ages but this one hit the spot! Speaking of spot...it's in a totally sketch area and definitely makes you question the location...but once your inside it's huge and clean. I must say the quality and variety of the food at the buffet was well worth it and went above my buffet level expectations. The trays I saw being re-filled quite often. The food variety was impressive, maybe because it was a Sunday but there was breakfast items- bacon, pancakes, scrambled eggs; Chinese cuisine- chow mein, gylan, broccoli, pork ginger beef, spring rolls; Dim Sum- steamed buns, shrimp balls; Western dinner- prime rib; dessert bar and fresh fruit bar; and my personal favourite a Sushi Bar! Plus a large selection of at least 6 different ice creams. Cookies, coconut and mango jelly, jello, squares. I'm pretty sure I saw a salad bar too. For a buffet in Edmonton this one has me wanting to come back again for sure! One of the ladies bathrooms even has a change table so that was super appreciated.

I would say this is the best Chinese buffet in the city. It has a great selection of soups including wonton and hot and sour, authentic Chinese dishes like garlic green beans, stir-fried meat and vegetables, bbq pork, seafood of some kind like shrimp, clams and mussels, dim sum, even bbq pork and cocktail buns! A few kinds of sushi, salad bar and desserts like mango pudding, red bean soup and tapioca . There's also lots of choices for non-Asians who may not be as adventurous, such as chicken balls, deep fried shrimp, dry ribs, chicken wings, jello and ice cream to name a few. This restaurant is attached to a Travelodge which looks like it needs an update in decor. There's parking on both sides of the building and is located along 118 Ave. so it's accessible by transit. The restaurant is big and can accommodate large parties. I've bumped into someone I know every time I've eaten here! I would recommend reservations. I've been here for lunch and dinner, the price is higher for dinner but we noticed they have crab legs and roast beef in the evening. We paid $20.99 for lunch and seniors are $2 off. The taste of everything is good considering it's a buffet. They do have hot sauce, soy sauce, sweet and sour, etc. available to help yourself. This place is definitely recommended if you are wanting a variety of Chinese food!

A huge portion of sesame chicken, chow mein, and veggies... for only $15

*Skip the Dishes Review* This place is not bad at all. I was expecting it to be terrible when my mom suggested "Chinese from the old Beverly Crest." If you factor that it's in a sketchy dive area of town (and therefore you'd expect the worst), and that you're getting a huge amount of decent food for $15 it's pretty darn good. Two people could easily eat the "dinner for one" and be satisfied. Honestly, it resembles your typical food court Chinese which hits the spot just fine sometimes. The chow mein was delicious. Everything was flavoured nicely... and I can't say this enough, I'm blown away by the portions. I will be eating this for lunch tomorrow. I ate less than half. My ooooonly critique is that the chicken was inconsistently cooked. Some was crispy to the point of tough to chew (over-fried?) and some was mushy / soggy. But overall.... very good. Not enough to say don't order it, because I'm just picky about texture. Not a complaint from the other 4 eating it. I initially made this a 3 but as I thought about it, as I wrote... it's really more like a 3.5... and the excellent value rounds it up to a 4. Give it a shot if you want some cheap satisfying eats.

Fresh sushi. Delicious menu. Get the weekly specials…read more Probably one of my favourite places in edmonton to get my sushi fix. The sushi here is delectable and fresh. It isn't cheap but the quality is the highest you can get in edmonton and surrounding area. Every bite was melt in your mouth delicious and is so flavourful. Mindfully crafted. 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. I'm drooling thinking of my meal here. The prices make it a sort of special dinner out kind of place and not somewhere you can eat at on a weekly basis..but it always is so good. Sorry it took me this long to review one of the top places in edmonton for sushi!

I've been coming to this sushi spot for a few months now, and it never disappoints. The staff…read morealways greet me warmly, and they somehow remember my usual order -- the spicy salmon roll with extra wasabi. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, with that faint aroma of fresh seaweed and rice in the air. Every piece of sushi is crafted so carefully that you can taste the difference -- the rice has just the right stickiness, and the fish tastes clean and buttery. What I love most is the consistency; no matter when I come, the quality is the same. The chef even came by once to ask for my feedback -- that kind of personal touch is rare. My only tiny wish is that the seating area were a little bigger, because this place deserves all the customers it gets.

Everything was fresh and beautifully presented. The sushi…read morerice was soft and seasoned just right, and the sashimi slices melted in my mouth.

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 is my second time to Sushi Toshi, the all-you-can-eat sushi (and other foods) Japanese…read morerestaurant. I have ordered sushi rolls, nagiri, sashimi, maki and a temaki (cone). I ordres an assortment of them - red snapper, tuna and salmon for the sushi, California and Alberta rolls, and tempura shrimp cone. 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.
