Haven’t been to August 8 restaurant since their upper james st. location since the incident. Good thing my brother suggested to celebrate mother’s day. Really recommend this restaurant the food was great, nice atmosphere and friendly staffs. I like this location better than the upper james location, because the upper james location is always busy no matter what time or day it is due to being really close to the Linc. Food came fast and hot and tatsted great. The only thing i can say negative is that the the dining space is a little tight I guess they want it to be more of an intimate experience. But regardless anyone will enjoy the experience and will leave the restaurant full for a while from eating all the delicious dishes they serve.

This restaurant does not honour their printed prices. We came in, sat down, and asked to see a menu. After looking at the prices for a la carte vs. all you can eat, 17.99 for weekend lunch, our group of four decided we wanted to do all you can eat. When our bill came, we were surprised to see they had charged us 21.99 each. We brought this up to the server who got a manager to speak with us. He explained that the menus were old and the prices inaccurate, and that we were expected to have noticed the correct prices on the wall near the entrance. We explained that we had made our decision based on the menus the restaurant had provided, and that we expected them to honour the prices. We also explained that it’s their responsibility to ensure the prices are accurate, or at least to inform the customer. We went back and forth for 15 minutes. We flat out said we refused to pay, and that they would have to adjust the bill. The manager explained that he had no way of adjusting the prices, which I do not believe. He tried to guilt us by saying the money would be coming out of our poor server’s paycheque. They ended up offering us a single free lunch coupon, which we then had to split between four people. We ended up paying the 21.99 each and making off with the coupon, since it was worth more cash than we were out as a group. This was a seriously unprofessional response to the restaurant’s own error, and it was not fixed in a satisfactory way. We should have been offered an apology for the restaurant’s error, and the restaurant should have honoured their printed prices. If you are going to this restaurant, grab an a la carte menu and ask them to honour the all you can eat price on it. Good luck! If enough people complain, perhaps these cheapskates will pay a couple bucks to get some new menus printed.

I'm just going to start with I will not be going to this location any more, this is usually my restaurant of choice as the food is good and most of the time the workers are friendly, but after my last visit I will not be returning to this location. Me and 2 friends went out for lunch. first issue :my one friend ordered 2 sushi rolls and it took 58 minutes to get. second issue : the system had crashed and that was fine what ever right but we had our servers switched out and the one we got was very unprofessional she came over and we said it wasn't working we did not know at the time that the system crashed and she rolled her eyes at us and took her tablet then she turned around and threw our tablet at the table and I almost fell over fast forward about half an hour the system was finally back up and running and my friends said to the waitress hey it's working now the waitress looked her in the eye rolled her eyes at her and said "no really" and walked away (didn't even take the dishes off our table). Issue #3: our waitress whom refilled our drinks several times without even having to ask what kind of pop is was she already knew had just refilled my friends drink and it was half gone and the waitress walked over and poured water into her cup and walked away without us even having a chance to say anything. Issue #4 shorty after the watter incident the manager came over and told us it was Final Call mind you we got there at 12 and this was at 1:30 and lunch doesn't end until 3:30 so I personally felt attacked by that. I paid my bill and did not tip as a did not feel like the waitress should have been tipped so from now on I will be going to the one on Upper James

My overall experience was good. We checked in on a kiosk because no one was there at the front desk when we came in. It wasn't particularly busy when we arrived but there was a crowd when we left. While I waited, I saw a couple walk past the kiosk into the seating area and were seated. Then I followed and was told we'd be seated shortly, which did happen. The ambience and atmosphere was good. The food was typical for sushi. The all you can eat menu was lengthy with many great options. But I didn't like the flamed sushi as it tasted like whatever fuel they used to char it with. There is an upcharge for wasted food so we had to force down our poor choice. It costs $40 for adults 12+ and half price for children 12 and under. So for a family of 4 depending on the age of your kids you could run $160 - $120. Drink costs are a separate charge with no free refills so our overall bill came up to $200+. You also have a time limit of about 2 hours to eat. So with the upcharge for food wasting, bad tasting flamed sushi, time limit and cost I rate it 3.5 stars but there aren't any half stars.

August 8 has gone way down hill. Used to be good quality and service. Tonight I was fed deep fried plastic that happened to be wrapped on my imitation crab tempura. I discretely got the attention of the server who wisked the plate away quickly to talk to his manager. Server came back to apologize and offered a 50% discount off our meal. We accepted and carried on with our dinner. Mistakes happen… Cheque came and the discount was 15%, when I inquired as to why it was only 15% not 50% like he said Server said it was only ever 15% off and laughed. Never during our 90 minute visit did the manager come to check on our meal, or apologize for the incident. What was I’m sure an accident turned into terrible customer service when you serve someone deep fried plastic and don’t follow through on their remedy. Like I said August 8 has gone way down hill. Will choose Chef Martin or Spring Sushi next time craving Japanese food.

First time visiting with a few colleagues and not sure if we'll go back. Loved the concept of ordering through a tablet but it's like ordering food from a bunch of robots. The order that food arrives has no rhyme or reason. We received dumplings and few other dishes before we got our soups (hot and sour soup is the worst I've ever had!). Servers walk by and leave items from your order at the end of your table and walk away. Your party has to figure out what it is and who ordered it. Hand rolls are good, so was the dim sum but the duration between foods, is a hit a miss. Don't expect a good customer service but it's not a bad one either, just minimal interactions with customers. It's a place to eat and that's all. You bring and make the experience with your party. Don't expect customer service or much interactions with the restaurant staff.
