Actual review: 3.5/5. At $27.99/pax ($29.99/pax on weekends & holidays), the All You Can Eat (AYCE) deal here is one of the cheapest you’ll be able to find in the GTA. Despite that, the sushis and dishes served here are of very reasonable quality. I liked some of their appetizers, such as the gyoza dumplings, fried scallop, shrimp tempura. For the teriyaki shrimp and teriyaki salmon, the quantities served for both of them seemed ridiculous that were both indicated as (1pc). However, since multiple orders could be placed, the “1pc” that looked and felt more like “1 bite” was able to be compensated. The sushis here were great, although not outstanding. Nevertheless, I appreciate the huge selection that they offer which helps in combating the “diminishing marginal returns” of having too much of a kind of sushi. For the hand roll, they do stuff them with a lot of rice, something which I am not a fan of but some people might be fine with it. For the desserts, they offer ice creams but the tempura banana was the crowning glory.

I picked up lunch at this restaurant, after a swim. What you see is average fare; moderately priced, and sushi served warm from the just fried morsels of fried sweet potato tempura and avocado in one roll and shrimp tempura, avocado and eel on the next roll. When they ask you if you would like eel sauce for example, you should choose it. Be prepared to add in the notes section that you would like utensils, or soya sauce, wasabi and tempura sauce. This is an AYCE restaurant that screens patrons for temperature and observes COVID -19 protocol. I was considering the AYCE, but I am very old fashioned and I like my rolls looking extremely well defined by even cuts, or creative chef skills. I also like to feel fish that is cool on the tip of my tongue after it’s dipped in soya sauce. Since, my entire meal was warm from the miso soup to the sweet potato and avocado- I realized, this is a busy restaurant. (Take-out) The avocado could not be any more ripe! Some of the details like the lingering taste of dried frozen shrimp, or the smell of old cooking oil at the door might turn some discerning patrons away. I will have to try another maki roll in the future- to imagine catching some chilled fish after a cold swim. (3.7 points/ 5) The experience of your sushi chef sitting yards away is just not possible in post-quarantine or take-out/ curb side. This experience is something that adds to the quality of your dining experience; I am convinced that curb side just does not compare. While you will be content with the mediocrity of your meal; you might consider paying just a bit more, elsewhere. While I am just not dining in- right now, I am looking for meals that survive the trip home, in containers.

My overall experience today at Shogi was good, but given my choice of All You Can Eat Sushi in the area, I would probably choose somewhere else. It is a small location and when we arrived there was a couple just leaving. We ate mostly in an empty restaurant with 2 additional tables sitting about halfway through our meal. Not what I was expecting for 12:00 pm on a Saturday. The food itself was okay with a couple of items that I felt were really well done (Beef soba noodles and the deep-fried gyoza). The noodles were cooked well, nicely firm with great bite and flavor. I also liked the hand rolls simply because they were big. It was filled with stuff and not too much rice. My was just the regular Salmon Hand Roll. On the downside, the rice was cold and too firm. It did not taste fresh like it had just come from the rice cooker. Perhaps the rolls were pre-made and kept in the fridge, then cut to order? I won't speculate as I wasn't watching, but if the restaurant reads this, the rice let the rest of the food down. The service was good. The servers were pleasant, and the food came out quickly. Given that we were the only ones in the restaurant, I wild expect fast service, but even the hot food came quickly.

My friends and I made a reservation and upon arrival, there were no seats available for us. We waited around 10-15 minutes to be seated. The heater also made the restaurant quite warm. The food quality was subpar: - The green salad was very watery on the bottom - The seaweed on the handrolls and sushi were soggy - The tempura batter was also soggy - The beef short ribs tasted soapy - The sashimi was cut horribly; pieces didn't separate properly and the salmon looked as if someone sawed through it (see photo) - Distribution of eel and avocado on the Black Dragon roll was odd; it was 90% avocado and 10% eel - Dishes were generally very saucy, and a little bit on the salty side Dishes that were okay: - Beef udon in soup - Edamame - Mackerel (tasted fine, but cut poorly) The presentation of the sashimi and sushi platter looked nice; the salmon sashimi was served shaped into a flower. The overall service was standard, some servers were nicer than others. We got a 10% off for no reason. Needless to say, I won't be coming back again, it was an overall very disappointing experience. There are better AYCE sushi places.

Cheap (compared to rest of Toronto) AYCE Sushi in a small modern setting. They will accommodate large groups (I had 10 once) with a reservation. Food: The food was decent in taste. The portions and cuts of sushi were on the cheap side. You can tell they skimp on the Sushi and Sashimi, but it's all you can eat so you can always order more. The Miso soup came out hot, which is always a good sign. The service: The service was mediocre, servers were average, not nice, not mean. The food came out really fast and waters were refilled once asked. The atmosphere: The restaurant was dimly lit and had a modern, clean look. The restaurant was small, parties of more than 10 would probably not fit. The verdict: For the price, I would go back, I haven't been to an AYCE sushi dinner for under $30 in a while. The taste was also not bad considering it was AYCE.

Whenever I'm in Maple, I almost always come here for sushi. My parents live near the area so it's super convenient, and it's across of Canada's Wonderland, which is perfect after a day of rides! They have a wide variety of selections and you can choose the a la carte option or the AYCE option - if I come here alone then the a la carte is the best! I've been here with my mom also for the AYCE, and we were quite satisfied. The servers are quite friendly and it gives me the opportunity to practice my Mandarin when I can. I will definitely come back whenever I'm in area again. Parking most of the time is okay but I can imagine it getting full on days with more customers, but there seems to be some parking at the back as well. Plus, I think it's a good place to meet up with friends. It gets a 5/5 for me.
