This place is horrible! At first, I thought this would be a decent AYCE place... mostly because it's convenient for uptown-ers..however, shortly after our first visit my boyfriend and I BOTH got food poisoning. I do not suggest going here.

Natalie, I totally agree with you. I had a bad experience at Echo Sushi about six years ago before they even became an AYCE place and I haven't once stepped foot in there since then. The service was terrible and the sashimi and sushi was not fresh at all. There are tons of other Japanese restaurants in Toronto that are a million times better.

This place has such crappy ambiance. It took the server 15 minutes to get us water to start and there was only one other person in the place with us.

The food was bland and every roll was packed with carrots and cucumbers.. not very original. We went back one time at a different time of year at night, and once we sat down we realized we had been before and hated it, we walked right back out. So many better options in the city.

Not sure what place you ladies visited, this place's wait staff were attentive, quick as lightning on getting stuff out (ordering 7 different sashimis and 5 rolls came one after the other, usually within a minute of eachother) and the sashimi is fresher than anywhere in Toronto that I've tried so far... anywhere from Hockey's, to Yang's, to Yuzu on Adelaide, nothing compares to the mackeral from this place.

Well worth the money to go here and it's a pleasant walk down a fun path with a bunch of other restaurants if you decide you want something else :)

I'm not too sure which roll you had, but they don't serve carrots in any of their rolls that I know of. The fish is always so fresh here and I find that their rolls have a lot of flavour. I find that this is one of the better sushi places. They make everything you order fresh and serve it very quickly. I was very pleased with my visit there. :)

yeah, they went through their ups and downs. I am a huge sushi connoisseur. And it was my #1 sushi place in T.O. in 2006, and then they became too popular for a small place like that and unfortunately could not bear with it well. It affected food as well which lead to down times and not so fresh fish as a result. You have to come to that place on Friday if you will, that's when their fish is freshest.
Variety is awesome if you take the $23 buffet, but in all of them they have amazing cooked meats selection, try their enoky beef rolls or garlic stake ! Mmmmmm !!!
Overall it's good place, far in the lead from all other AYCE sushi places, but it's just not the same anymore for me :(
I wish they'd return their 8 sushimi variety and 25 sushi kinds.. But I guess they couldn't bear the expenses and after all most people order salmon and california roll so why lose moneys. I understand.

In my opinion, this place comes in a VERY close second to Yangs Kitchen in Markham for the best ayce sushi in the GTA and surrounding areas. And I second the one person above who commented on the freshness of thier sashimi. I will even go one step further to say that thier salmon sashimi is not only fresh, but like red and white marbled heaven. Truly the most fatty salmon sashimi ive seen at ayce places.
