Trenton Sushi Buffet — Restaurant in Quinte West

The place is still a filthy pit, just as it was before it changed over to Trenton Sushi. As is typical with some Asian cultures (I am sure a few will be offended here), the service is pretty bad. A couple of staff are attentive and friendly, and others are completely clueless. We sat with stacks of dirty dishes on our table for ages. We watched the staff walk by and by again, empty handed and oblivious. When I finally called someone over and asked her to take some of the dishes away, she looked at us blankly, then realized there were piles of dishes in front of her. Seems trivial, maybe, but who wants to sit and look at that for half an hour after eating? The food: mediocre at best. The local yokels (probably more offensiveness here) have no idea what good sushi is, therefore they rave about this place. If you are like us, and have had decent (not even talking great!) sushi throughout your dining history, this food is pretty bad. Just to mention one thing, every shrimp we got had a giant, black digestive tract in it. An easy (and proper) thing to fix by deveining when cleaning the shrimp. Japanese food is supposed to be delicate and classy, with a lot of attention to detail, etc. It was pretty nasty. One last thing: my guts were bad for 2 days after. That always happens to me when I eat bad quality Asian food. My guts never lie. I realize this is a harsh review, but I sure wish I had read one like this before driving all that way, and paying $55 for 2 people, and being chained to the toilet for 2 days...

Sorry for such a harsh review, but this was one of the worst meals I've had. We paid $72 for both of us to eat nearly inedible chewy tempura sushi and my husband found multiple bones in his salmon. Nothing tasted fresh (almost tasted off), the place did not look very sanitary, and as I said, anything with tempura was hard/chewy and had no taste. In the middle of eating, as a waitress came to clear some plates, she set down the dirty plates from a different table she had just cleared on OUR table, while we were eating, which left a nice puddle of soy sauce from a stranger's plate on our table that did not get cleaned. We did not order a second round of food. Got ice cream at the end that was freezer burnt and served with a plastic spoon. Unfortunately they have significantly raised their prices but also significantly decreased the quality of food and service. If they're going to raise their prices so much, they need to make sure the quality matches the price. Which it absolutely did not in our case. Easily can enjoy a fresher sushi meal elsewhere as any grocery store sushi tray is likely better than what we ate. This used to be my favourite sushi buffet that I would recommend to anyone but my last visit to eat here will definitely be my last. Not coming back. At least the staff were friendly. (Also have to note my husband and I both had stomach aches after...

I had high hopes for this place and really wanted to ljke it, since it's the only AYCE in Trenton, has a 4.2 rating, and friends said it was alright. Wow was I ever disappointed. I can only guess it has the rating it does because it's the only AYCE.

I'll start with the good: customer servers were good and the food came quick enough.

The bad is really just the food itself. I went to dinner. The white tuna wasn't of good quality but the salmon was ok. There were just plain weird rolls, like a crab one that was just shredded crab on top of rice rolls with, if I recall, some crushed tempura bits. That's it. There was a good variety of rolls, especially dragon rolls, and they varied from mediocre to ok. I stuck mostly with spicy salmon and dragon rolls. Which works I guess. But when you're paying dinner rates, you want the sashimi to at least be decent.

The kitchen items at AYCE are rarely all good but almost all of it was mediocre at best. The enoki rolls were just plain awful beef and tiny pieces of green onions. All the curry dishes were just plain bad. Campbell's chunky chicken Thai tastes much better than any of the red curry dishes that they had. The beef bulgogi was decent tasting and the "general chicken" definitely had no Tao in it but it's wasn't bad.

At the final straw was that it is 24 bucks plus tax for dinner. Just...
