Our family stopped by to have a bite to eat after our grocery shopping. 1298 Sushi offers popular menu items. It's tucked away in a small plaza on Liverpool and Kingston Road. All the usual stuff on their ayce menus. Sushi rolls, hand rolls, hot foods, pad thai, udon, tempura, teriyaki, deep fried foods, soups, salads, and desserts. It's an iPad order system that lets you see pictures of the menu item before you order it. Service was fast. They cleared the tables quickly. We were particularly impressed by their fried banana dessert with ice cream. It was good quality and great value for a family meal. read more

This spot still holds strong being our favourite spot for sushi around the area, as previous bad/mediocre experiences at 3 other locations just didn't justify any change. We've been buying takeout more often, so we can stay home and eat in a relaxed setting after a long day/week at work. The most recent time, I noticed the sui mai was not as good as usual. Not sure if they changed recipe/vendor or it was just an off batch. The steamed veggies are heavy on bell peppers. read more

We've had 2 take outs from here for sushi and sashimi and our experiences have been mixed. The first time was just for salmon sashimi and the quality of what we received was excellent. Our second take out was for a sushi & sashimi tray (56 pc?) and it was rather disappointing on quality and variety of fish. There were fish that were cut so small that it really shouldn't be counted as 1 piece and the platter included ridiculous amount of fake crab meat sushi and sashimi. Not sure if I would pay $70+ to order this platter again. We may give them another try but in a sea of mediocre "sushi" restaurants, not sure if I would go out of my way to 1298. read more

This place is great! I've driven passed here so many times, and finally decided to try it out. The decor is modern but cozy, and the staff are helpful and friendly. Like many other AYCE Sushi restaurants, they have an iPad ordering system. They have a great selection of rolls, many of which you can get with brown rice instead of white. I also really loved that they had more vegetarian options than most places. One of the best things, about this place is that their pricing is not only fair, but also consistent across the weekdays and weekends. ( $16.99 for a weekend AYCE lunch? sign me up! ) I'll definitely be coming back here more often! read more

Nothing much to choose from when it comes to sashimi. The hand rolls are not that great, rice is falling apart and does not have taste (spicy salmon hand roll). We ordered the first round, service is okay. Then waited for a long time on the second round.... Dessert is ok but I don't think I would recommend anyone for this place. It lost my appetite after the first round due to the quality of food. read more

I like going in here for lunch. Good selection and the staff is friendly and they're willing to modify certain dishes if you have allergies. I suggest paying cash for that discount. read more

I've only had take out from here, but so far they haven't let me down! Food is tasty, I've never been disappointed. Their takeout service is quick, as I normally order party trays for the family. Their cooked sides are average, but the sushi has always been fresh. The restaurant is also provided plenty of wasabi, soy and cutlery for take out orders. I will be ordering from here again. For the take out, I much prefer it over the more expensive Makimono down the street. read more

Good all-you-can-eat food and staff except otherwise for the manager (or team-leader since he said he wasn't the manager). They have a promo stamp card where you get a free dinner for every 15 stamps you collect (oh and they separate lunch stamps from dinner stamps). You're supposed to get one stamp for every bill, but since we were in a large group with 3 separate bills he stated that we would only get one stamp for the whole "group", which contradicted with all the previous times we had been there. He actually said if we were seated in separate tables and pretended not to know each other we would actually get 3 stamps... Extremely rude and 0 manners with the customer. TLDR: Good food, bad customer service from lead server, make sure to get your card stamped for every separate bill. read more

This is a pretty good ayce sushi place that is decently priced for $26.99 dinner. They offer over 100 items and I believe they have some Dim sum items as well. Our party ordered a variety of sushi, rolls and sashimi. I really enjoyed their house roll which was a California roll with torched white tuna on top. They also offer torched sushi, ponzu marinated sashimi and a variety of sashimi. I really enjoyed their fried calamari dish and their ponzu marinated sashimi. Service was friendly and you order thru iPads so it was really efficient. read more

Reasons why it deserves 2 stars: -bad customer service (could be better), felt like they wanted us to leave! They judged how much we ordered and kept pressuring us to leave. -somewhat fancy dinning -food was decent could be options (not a wide selection) -not enough privacy read more

My sister and I come here probably once every month/two months. We started coming here instead of Makimono in Pickering, due to the price and service. Their staff are friendly, and get you what you need, but I do find that over time, with each time we come back to this restaurant, they tend to leave out an item or two. Even though we order through the iPad, it still doesn't get delivered to our table somehow? I'm not too sure. I'm vegetarian and they have a whole page just for vegetarian sushi rolls, along with other items that I have not seen at other sushi places, which is why I keep coming back! read more

I was so excited to return to 1298 Sushi today. I love their Sushi, one of the best in the Durham region. I was more then happy to order my food ahead of time on Uber Eats. I was in the area and chose to save my self the few dollars on the delivery fee. When I arrived at the establishment I proceeded to announce my order number along with show the order screen. The person grabbed my order and as I reached for my food I shockingly noticed I was reaching for a point of sales machine. I mistakenly assumed there was a payment issue with my Uber order so I gladly paid again. When I arrived at my house to enjoy some delicious sushi I realized I had payed twice. I couldn't believe it, my joy for sushi had been crushed. Regardless the sushi is amazing but be careful, double charging is not okay. read more

We came in with a group of 7 for lunch. We ordered appetizers with everything else (miso soup, rice, seaweed salad). They didn't give it to us. We asked about three times and they said "we'll check". At the end of our lunch meal just before dessert - they brought it all and doubled it. For dessert this was the size of my ice cream. Rip off. read more

Reasonable price for all week! No weekend price .. food quick but very busy so I feel like they throw your food on the table and leave very quickly so you don't ask for anything.. Small sushi but good sushi rolls, good variety. Menu wide with lots of options but a little annoyed that my miso soup was the LAST food item that arrived and I had to ask for it. Would go again for my sushi fix when less busy though.. overall good variety, good price, good atmosphere, lots of employees. read more

Disappointing experience at 1298 Sushi. We usually go to a couple other sushi restaurants in the area but thought we would give this one a try. The interior was pleasing and and the booths were nice and cozy. Unfortunately the customer service was bad from the beginning. Our waitress ignored us as she approached our table, she barely made eye contact or address us directly. She just handed us a dirty iPad and took a quick drink order. Received our first order quickly which was nice. The food itself was ok for the price but not amazing, and most of it was either smothered in a sauce that was either bland or overly sweet. I also found the sushi rice too sweet as well. Unfortunate we weren't unable to finish some the rice from the roles due to the taste and were reprimanded for wasting food. That left us with not only a bad taste in our mouth for the sushi but the overall experience. There are much better sushi places in the area that provide way better food and much better service read more

Me and my family were 100% completely satisfied. Will be returning here again. Price was good, and it wasnt overly busy. All food orders came very fast. Seating was comfortable. Staff was polite. Food looked and tasted as expected. Nothing more to ask for! read more

Decent sushi restaurant with a pretty good food selection for lunch and dinner options. I've been here a number of times as my boyfriend lives close by here. Torched sushi options are small, but there is a good variety of other sushi, noodles and dim sum options. Sushi freshness is slightly better than average. Good for the money, variety and distance to my place (since I'm a lazy eater, sometimes!) read more

My fiancé was craving sushi so we did a quick yelp search in the area and came across this place. We were both pleasantly surprised by the price and quality of the food. They have the same price all week, no difference on weekends which is awesome since most places charge more on weekends. The service was very quick, food was out within minutes of ordering and the food quality was really good! We ordered some rolls, grilled meats, appetizers and of course miso soup! My favourite was the volcano roll here, definitely a must try! If you're in the area definitely give this place a shot, the selection isn't as big as some other local spots but it's more than enough to fill you up and everything is delicious, especially for that price! Try it, you won't regret it! read more

Pretty good for a sushi joint in Durham. They have a great selection for dinner which is why we paid dinner price during lunch. I've sat inside once and got takeout once - the fish wasn't as fresh in the take out order but still good. I would go back. I've been really disappointed with the sushi options in Durham so this place get 4 stars for being decent! I need more coupons, please and TY. read more

The dishes Delivery by Skip the Dishes is quite over my my expectation. SPICY salmon pizza turned out to be Amazing, very crispy rice ball and crispy soft flakes. Salmon Avocado raw roll is very fresh! Both dishes are very fresh and have no other fishy taste at all. Everything comes together just right. Very pleasant! read more

I read the previous reviews and saw that they had 4.1 stars. We were excited to try this fairly new sushi restaurant with high ratings in Pickering. We went for dinner on Friday. The place had a nice vibe, appeared nice as we came in. We got excited with the large selection; however, If you are particular with your sushi then this place is not for you. The place was below average. General Tao chicken- too much vinegar. Shrimp tempura was cold. Maki- rice was hard and cold, seaweed was chewy Seaweed salad- too fishy and salty Rainbow roll - no flavour Caramel brûlée- the brown granular sugar on top wasn't melted and torched. Very disappointed. read more

I've been eating at this restaurant regularly since 2015 when it was called Edamame, and I have always loved it. The food is still delicious, but the service was awful the last two times I ate here, and I was very disappointed. read more

We've eaten here a few times and it is always great. They have a good selection of rolls and other Asian food as well. It follows the AYCE trend with iPad ordering and service is generally fast. I do enjoy the option to choose brown rice for rolls, as well as handrolls for most of them. The fish was fresh every time i ate there read more

The sushi was really good and priced well. Customer service was excellet. Employees were very patient and friendly to customers. Location is clean and service is quick yet efficient. I ordered for takeout and everything I asked was included. I would definitely reccomend this location to get some decent sushi for a reasonable price. Food tastes fresh and presentation was also clean. A must try next time you are craving some sushi. read more

This is the worst sushi place ever. Took my 10 year old here and she noticed that the food wasn't fresh. When I asked to speak to the manager the staff got mad. When the manager finally came and I pointed out the limb veggies in the hand rolls and the difference in colour in the fish eggs, he got mad. We're going to stick to our usual place from now on. This place was really bad. Service and food. read more

place serves good and tasty sushi.tried their toronto rolls and was something to come back for.health protocols were followed

This is the worst sushi I have ever eaten. The rice portion was huge and the fish portions were paper thin. In order to taste the fish I had to remove 3/4 of the rice ball and wraps the thin sliver of fish around the remaining rice. Even then it was tasteless. I am very suspicious with the glowing reviews,and wonder if these people actually ate this sushi, since the reviews contain inaccurate information. I am from Japan, and I know what good sushi tastes like. Better choices would be Azumi Sushi or Sakura Sushi. read more
