Two of us went for lunch on 29th December at 12:45pm. Restaurant was packed and we had to wait for few mins before getting our table. Wait wasn't bad at all. After getting our table I ordered Miso soup and veg salad rightaway using their iPad menu, which was pretty cool. My miso soup came right away but beg salad didn't show up. I kept on ordering some sushi and hand rolls for two of us. Half of the food never showed up on our table. My friend asked me to order the same sushi again, which I did and after waiting for sometime sushi came. Though my first order never came. I complained to the server and she said they are busy, food will be coming shortly. But it never came. I asked for diet coke and water. It didn't come. I asked again and this time it came. I asked for wasabi and ginger three times to three different people. Finally at 3rd time it came. Most of servers are girls and were not paying attention to order. One male server got my ginger and wasabi right away. Food was alright but service was highly disappointing. My friend has been there many times and never had bad experience. My first time wasn't good. I would want to give them benefit of doubt as they were busy. But bad service can't be pardoned by me. If you are planning to go, make sure they are not too busy. read more

My favourite place to go for sushi. Very friendly and attentive staff. Dynamite roll and the 520 roll are a must, always!

I have never enjoyed this restaurant, even when it was called Akita. Obviously, some customers disagree with me; however, I have found the food to be second rate and the alcoholic drinks to be overpriced. The food price is relatively low and the quality of the food reflects this. I have no problem with Ipad Menus, as they are in use by several restaurants. On the other hand, Ipads are no substitute for so so food. One other quibble is with the urinal in the men's room. The space is so narrow, that I do not want to use it. read more

Did not enjoy any part of my meal. The food quality left much to be desired. Priced at the average AYCE sushi price range, the quality of food were substandard and the selections limited. There was no one part of the meal that stood out, the sushi offerings itself was boring and lacked proper preparation; the rice was unevenly cooked with some grains undercooked. The kitchen food, too, was limited. The only aspect of the restaurant that struck me was their turtle tank in the foyer which kept me quite entertained and dulled to pain of my reluctance to pay the bill. Overall, food taste and quality as well as service were all mediocre, I will not be returning. read more

The place is an average- sized restaurant and like many of the upcoming ayce sushi places, they've started using iPad menus. Their weekend lunch price for adults is $13.99 which is really good in my opinion (my boyfriend and I ate on a Sunday). For apps, I would HIGHLY recommend their butterfly cheese. It's AMAZEBALLS!! They also have this app called SPICY SALMON ON CHIPS. It's basically spicy salmon topped on a sour cream and onion flavoured Pringle. You would think it sounds strange but when my boyfriend and I ordered it out of curiosity, it was something we didn't regret! It was a pretty creative and tasty dish if you ask me. Their sushi was very fresh though their sushi rice was more on the sticky side but I quickly forget that fact when eating their seafood. And out of all the ayce sushi places I've been to, they have THE BEST bbq eel fried rice. Usually, that dish would taste and smell really fishy that I can never finish the small portion. But 520 does a really good job making it! Kudos to the chef! The only downside would be that I don't think they have enough staff to accommodate all the patrons that flood the place. Their gaining a very good rep but I don't think their staff can keep up at such a small number. Another thing is that we keep getting food we didn't order... But then again, why would we complain about that, right? 4 spicy salmon rolls!! I would definitely come back for more :D read more

I have eaten here once since the ownership and name changed (It was formerly Akita). Some of the food was fine, but the teriyaki sauce on a couple of items I tried did not appeal to me. Many dishes seemed to be designed to fill you up with rice rather than more expensive ingredients. Beer and alcohol were too expensive. I did ask the significance of the name 520 and was told that the Chinese pronouncement of 520 sounded like the Chinese phrase for I Love You. In my own case, I found nothing to love about this restaurant. read more

Some servers are so rude! ( one literally rolled her eyes at me. And that hostess with her hair hanging all over the place will she leans against the cook counter?? Need some recommendations for a new sushi place!! And the menu seemed to have things missing and the butterfly cheese is awful now?? There is no cheese?? read more

I'm not the biggest fan of sushi, I can't say it was terrible, but I also can say I liked it. The meat was good.

I ordered from here the other day with the skip the dishes app. I ordered California rolls and deep friend California rolls with a side dish of beef fried rice, I spent like 40.00 and the food was awful. It ended up in the trash can. The deep fried rolls were oily and tasted like they have been sitting in oil all day. I would never order from here again. read more

The yam tumpura rolls were sooo goodd!!! Def must try!

I heard stories about this location but I tell you, this place has never disappointed me. Well, in terms of food that is. Service was ok. Some are better than the others. They weren't rude or anything. But they weren't pleasant either. read more

This place is not bad. fair price and pretty good food! been here 3 times

Granted I'm from out of town but the food here is pretty good! Selection is decent and I like that the portions are small enough that when u order, u can try a little of everything and not get charged extra. Service was prompt and friendly enough. read more

Never went here when it was the home of Akita but 520 met/exceeded our expectations. The food was excellent. We noticed the little details like the crispyness of the seaweed wrapping the handrolls, the pleasant hint of rice vinegar in the sushi rice, the thin batter coating on tempura. Service was very good. We ordered everything wirelessly/paperless using a ruggedized tablet placed at our table. We added new items (and seconds) during our meal. We got everything we ordered. Only one nitpick that won't affect my rating: using plus or minus buttons is a little slow when ordering sashimi (i.e., by piece). Food service and cleanup was prompt -- never felt like we were waiting long for food to arrive, or empty dishes piling up. Price: typical for AYCE; very reasonable for kids (e.g., 4 y.o. was $5 and 7 y.o. was $10). We will definitely be coming back. read more

Closest all you can eat sushi, I'd come here. Affordable, fish is good, I stopped getting the deep fried butterfly cheese because there's basically was no cheese in the oily deep fried wonton wrapper. Love the sushi, the handrolls, the maki, sometimes the teriyaki beef is overcooked, but I always look forward to the deep fried banana with my red bean ice cream. The interior is absolutely cute with the origami cranes, it's clean and doesn't feel claustrophobic. All time best in Brampton for me. read more

The food is decent nothing special, the greeter at the counter was very laid back and unprefessional. No one explained how to order off the ipads, but with a few minutes of fiddling it's quite an easy ui. We were served at a decent rate, and the staff was friendly. read more

This is the worst restaurant experience I have had in many years. The menu was cumbersome and frankly just annoying. Just take our orders, don't make us learn how to code on your tablet. The sushi was par at best and my boyfriend felt like he'd be sick afterward. The beer was warm and the manager refused to exchange it for a cold one. Not recommended from several aspects. read more

Another oddly-named 3-digit sushi place (see 168 Sushi). The food is very good. The service is average, as is the price. The location is better than 168 but 168 is my place and 520 isn't remarkable enough in any way to win away my frequent business. read more

I've been here twice in the past 2 years (if I weren't living abroad I'd have gone more!). To be honest I've never gone to a "bad" AYCE sushi place and similar to others I've been to, this one doesn't disappoint. Since I don't eat any seafood (raw or cooked) I tend to go for the beef terriyaki (love it!), dumplings, soup, butterfly cheese, noodles, spring rolls, ribs, and vegetable tempura. All of which is delicious. I also dragged my British boyfriend and (meat-and-potatoes-loving) dad here after some coaxing and both wanted to come back the next day. They couldn't get over how good the food was. Boyfriend loved the shrimp tempura and seafood. Also love the mango ice cream and green tea ice cream. And of course bananas with chocolate :) read more

The Sushi was good. I liked that it was all you can eat. I've had better sushi upstate ny. Overall , I would come here again

Service was great. It begins and ends there. Went at lunch and made a few orders with some friends. Chicken Teriyaki on the images looked grilled (as with any place) but here it was this grey matter. The plate was warmer than the chicken itself, so clearly it was microwaved. Next came the tempura. Wow. Mushrooms were clearly not washed before cooking as you could literally taste and see dirt in them as they were bit into. The crab tempura was poor-quality imitation crab meat. While I know most/all crab in sushi restaurants are imitation this was poor quality at best. Then came the sushi. Let's try to forget about this shall we? Thin, sad, cold pieces with little to no flavour tainted the experience that was already poor. The lunch price is beginning to make sense for the rest of us. Service however was great. Staff was friendly, nice, attentive, and always quick on the orders. Such a shame the food was not nearly up to par. read more

3*? Wow this place is great! Maybe not a perfect place; after all it's all you can eat! But def. one of the better sushi joints in Brampton. So upon entrance there is a massive fish tank with far too many fish! But it is not as tacky as the million origami swans they hang from The ceiling. It may not be the best decor but it is very clean and workers are always cleaning any tables they walk by (very hardworking staff a they look tired lol) so we asked to sit in a booth but the booth nazi said no booth and sat us in the centre with the only people in the restaurant!? Makes no sense, no one was in the booth. Next time I'll just walk out to prove a point! You order your food from an iPad menu. Great way to keep track of your prior order. FYI lunch menu has no sashimi to order. There are many choices. From tempura, hand rolls, apps, noodle dishes, rice, tofu, maki, sushi, soup, fried, the lists goes on they even have chicken wings lol suits everyone's liking even those who don't like fish ~ try their mushroom wrapped beef! So good the fish is cut perfect and the right temp to boot! Give it a try, better option to red lobster next door lol (check out my red lobster review haha what a to-do! Tips: ask for more wasabi and ginger! So skimpy! You can get ice cream after your meal! Not on menu read more

My all time favourite sushi spot! I don't even live in Brampton any more but I still come here because I'm never disappointed. Quality of the sushi is good, the service is great, it gets packed sometimes but the seating arrangement is still comfortable so no complaints. Love the butterfly cheese in the end (haven't found another sushi place that has it). I also appreciate the variety- sushi, wings, noodles etc. Highly recommended. read more

Finally after reading all the reviews, I encountered the dreaded...get out pressure. Refused to serve us unless we gave them back the ipad. The lady at the cash is the root of the problem. Already told them I won't be back. Recommend avoid. 168 sushi on Kennedy has picked up their sox. Better over this place, more selection also. read more

This is my favourite sushi restaurant, one which I recommend to others whenever possible. The servers are friendly, the food is excellent, and while they don't have the largest variety there is more than enough to keep me and all of my friends happy. The electronic ordering system is very convenient, and I appreciate the descriptions that accompany menu items. The only thing that keeps this from being a 5 star review is that sometimes items ordered are forgotten or delivered to the wrong table. I'm uncertain whether this is a mistake by staff or an issue with the ordering system, but either way I consider it a minor annoyance as you can easily reorder. read more

AYCE sushi usually sacrifices quality for quantity, but 520 is surprisingly good... it's definitely my go to Brampton spot. Something noteworthy is the udon.. AYCE sushi spots usually don't do a very good job with udon but 520 surpasses the others. The staff is very nice and the food comes quick! read more

It was good experience. I would definitely return. I usually go for sushi in Mississauga as a Brampton resident. Reasons to return are; the food just taste just as good as any other sushi joints. I do like the eggplant, it was a big portion and the way they grilled it and have it lathered in light sauce was good. The mushroom wrapped in beef was good too! It wasn't too chewy. The shrimp tempura was good, fairly battered shrimp. The green dragon roll could use mango sauce. The fried tofu was nice, crispy outside and soft inside. Other sushi places I've been to over cook their tofu. The curry chicken wasn't too flavourful, bland. The spring roll was okay, taste like something you'd eat from Ocean's. The other maki rolls I've tried like Las Vegas roll, mango roll, and golden dragon roll were pretty good. The service was pretty good. Though some of the dishes are a hit and miss, I'd return again. read more

The food was okay, but NOTHING in comparison to the service. The service was down right terrible. The server was not polite at all, did not even bother to collect our empty plates and stated that we must finish everything on our plates before she could take them. Having four of us at a table there was sometimes 1/4th of our food left over with some dishes, some less than that and some none at all (which I believe is normal for an all you can eat/tasting menu restaurant) The server refused to move our plates and on top of that gave us attitude and dirty looks. At multiple occasions we had to wave her down from where she was standing in the corner talking to her coworker. We did not feel welcome at ALL in that environment. Definitely do not recommend this place to anyone especially since there are comparable all you can eat sushi places in the surrounding area. That was the first and last time ill ever go there. Take my advice and don't waste your time here. read more

They spoiled lastly. Waiting time is incredible, bringing half of ordered sushi. Sitting for 2 hours and still hungry.

This place is awesome. Our server, Daniella, was prompt and polite and seemed to genuinely like her job. The food was high quality and delicious and quick! Or appetizers were out before we even finished ordering!! The Ipad ordering system was a nice touch too. Highly recommended for auce sushi... Go out of your way for this place! read more

I went here with my friends today the food was pretty bad except for the teriyaki chicken on a stick and the chicken wings the soy sauce was just terrible. The service is so bad they just kept on staring at us one of my black friends spilt water by accident and they just started acting weird as soon as we came into the restaurant everyone was staring at us we were pretty well dressed anyways food is bad service is bad just needs to be better all I can say is the black girl and the white girl that served us were really nice and deserve better this place sucks thank you. read more

Waited about an hour to have food arrived. All was deep fried and not tasty al all. Terrible service. read more

The sushi was freaking amazing. Best sushi I ever had in my life to be honest. Everything else is okay, it just tastes bland. The decor is very cute and quirky yet modern, overall its a nice atmosphere. The only problem was the service, which like other people said as well in their reviews, were trying to rush us out even if it wasn't busy. Its obvious that they don't want you to order much. We would order certain things and never get them which happened many times, even if we asked them for the missing order they wouldn't provide it because they told us they can't afford to waste food but come on its a buffet and we weren't gonna waste it besides it's inevitable to not waste food in a buffet so if you can't afford to be a buffet business then don't be one. To top it off, they ripped us off twice when paying in American dollars. Overall, very good food but bad service. read more

I went to this "all you can eat," sushi restaurant and this is not the 1st time going. You can say I am a regular and today I had enough. The food is delicious but customer service was by far the worst I had ever experienced in my life. They always mix up orders, they constantly come around to fill your tea and water and they stop bringing your orders when they feel that it's time for you to go. When we tried to explain how we felt about our overall experience, the "manager" did not care and her exact words were "well you still have to pay".... On top of that my sister tried to tell the lady at the front register that she needed to charge her for a beverage that they missed to communicate. The lady was very rude and had no interest to listen and then realized that she forgot to charge her and started to get very unprofessional. She changed the subject on another customer who walked out because that's how bad there service was. Get your act together 520Sushi because I don't think anyone would tolerate such service. read more

Terrible service i didnt get more than half the food i ordered and the food i did order i saw go to a table that hasn't been served yet and my server did nothing about it after i called her out on it. read more

I came here a couple of times, the food isn't bad at all. The service is just weird.. They stare and watch you eat sometimes, and it's quite uncomfortable. I like the seaweed salad, and the Makeral sashimi. I wish they had more options, as other sushi restaurants, but the list is simple. I still will come here, but I will most likely turn towards sushi house, for the service and quality of food. read more

This is the worst sushi place I've been to. Left less than half of our food back and got yelled at. The customer service sucked, was not polite at all. I've been to other sushi places and never experienced anything for leaving food back. The waitress did not come back to refills our drinks or asked to pick up our plates. Also stated us right in the face and would not come over when we called. Overall, I would not recommend this place the food was not that good either. Paid too much to experience the worst service ever. read more

The iPad menu is a great idea for an all you can eat sushi restaurant, especially when you don't know exactly what each different type of roll is made of. The quality of the food is very good. read more

I was very disappointed with the host and overall service.We asked to be seated at the boot but was told no because it was reserved. We picked another table and was again refused. We spend one hour in the restaurant and no one arrived for those seats. The host lied and when asked why she gave us a bag of bull. Food was average and service very poor. read more

good fresh sushi. they serve the food out quite fast. alcoholic beverages are simple, wine, beer sake. wide variety. but could be better service by the waitresses. read more
