8 Sushi - Toronto, Ontario

I've been to this restaurant at lest 4 or 5 times since it's close to where I live and I really like the food here. The quality of the food is on par with well known sushi restaurants like Sushi on Bloor (which I've been to many times) with exception ... to the pricing, no other place in the city beats Sushi on Bloor's value. The staff is also as nice but the reason I've not given this place a full 5 stars is because I think the food takes too long to arrive. I've been here when there were only 4 other people in there and it still took quite a while. Now compare that to Sushi on Bloor which takes about the same time but with all the seats occupied and people also placing take out orders it is quite bad for a restaurant to not be busy and take that long. The ambiance is pretty standard like most other low to mid-range priced sushi restaurants but the music....Oh my God!.. I mean I was fine with the jazz right until Celine Dion started playing and then I just wanted to stab my eardrums with the chopsticks. My all time favourite items on the sushi menu is the Fusion Roll and the Volcano roll (pictured). The Volcano roll is deep fried making it nice and crunchy on the outside and warm and mushy on the inside, garnished with a drizzle of spicy mayo and eel sauce on the top unlike the Volcano roll at To-Ne Sushi on Queen St that was quite different, but of course the names of rolls don't mean anything and it clearly seems that they are just randomly thrown at a dish just to say that "Hey we have a volcano roll too just like the other restaurants". The Fusion Roll is the one topped with tempura bits in the picture which is quite delicious as well. Read more

The food was decent, the typical sushi dishes you'd find anywhere else. The service was terrible! They only came around to drop off plates and pick the empty ones up. Otherwise the place is clean and kept well.

Spacious dining space, good atmosphere, great selection and sashimi (though limited options) on the lunch AYCE. Dynamite rolls are a personal fave and try the mocha cake for dessert.

I've been to a lot of AYCE sushi joints, but the mixture of the tablet menu, reasonable price and EXCELLENT vegetarian and hot food selection keeps me coming back. It's a great deal and I've never felt ignored or badly treated by the staff, which often happens in all you ... can eat places. No time limit, no pressure, excellent presentation and fresh food. Come at lunch for the best deal. Read more

There was a nice range of items on the all-you-can-eat menu, and they were good. I especially like the tempura shrimp, which were the nice long ones. Not all the sushi restos offer them. The price was reasonable, particularly now with their 15% off if you pay cash, while they ... are newly opened. Read more
