Makimono is one of my favourite places for dining on Japanese cuisine. Their food quality, service,…read moreand value have always been outstanding. I recently had dinner with a friend at their Ajax location and we may have over-indulged, but it was hard to resist all the goodness featured on their menu. As we dined, their robot passed our table several times, delivering dishes to other tables, including things we could/should have ordered. It all looked so good! Our over-indulgence included too many dishes to mention but they included sushi, sashimi, udon, tempura, maki, dim sum, and much more. Of course, we had to have some desserts - fried bananas, puddings, ice cream, and more! We were so stuffed, and happy. It was an excellent meal, with delicious food, and excellent service!

Dine in at this restaurant, spend at least $50 on your meal, and get a $10 voucher off your bill till May 9, 2026. - This eatery has an all-you-can-eat ice cream bar! This past Monday evening, I broke out of the house to have a dinner feast with a friend. We ordered a lot off the menu, guilty of eating with our eyes. I used to drop by this eatery maybe fifteen years ago fairly often. It was nice to return. I had no problem finding a parking spot fairly close to the main entrance. I backed into a spot and walked into the restaurant. We got these drinks: - Sapporo draft 20 oz - Diet Coke Refills on pop are free. I certainly took advantage of it! So refreshing. We ordered these goodies: - Garden salad - Gyoza (dumpling) (2 pcs) - Beef skewer (1 pc) - Fried calamari (2 pcs) - Pork cutlet - Enoki beef roll (2 pcs) - Yakitori (chicken) (1 pc) - Negimayaki (beef) (2 pcs) - Squid tempura (5 pc) - Crab tempura (1 pc) - Siu mai (2 pc) - Thai chicken coconut curry - Spicy California roll (6 pcs) - Mushroom tempura (2 pcs) - Coconut shrimp (1 pc) - Chicken with bao bun (1 pc) - Har gow (2 pc) - Chicken with mushroom - Beef udon - Chicken teriyaki - Beef with broccoli - Dynamite handroll (1 pc) - Crab pizza (4 pcs) - Spicy Crab handroll (1 pc) - Spicy crab on chip (1 pc) - Grilled butterfish sushi (1 pc) - Crab sushi (1 pc) - Beef short ribs (3 pcs) - Beef steak Delicious food! I could rave for hours on how yummy everything was. I will spare you! Highlights: - This place does tempura well. Crispy, without the oiliness. - The Thai chicken coconut curry was excellent. It had a bit of heat and I dipped everything in that amazing coconut curry. - Any protein on a skewer will not disappoint. - Chicken and mushrooms was a comforting dish. - The two hand rolls were excellent! There was only one dish that wasn't great. It was the beef steak that was more on the chewy side. There's something for everyone at this eatery. I thought that I couldn't shovel any dessert after our feast. I saw the all-you-can-eat ice cream bar and my stomach ignored now full it felt. I'd return for the desserts alone. We enjoyed these desserts: - Fried bananas (2 x 2 pcs) - Ice cream (orange, cotton candy, cookies and cream) - Tiramisu cake - Mini macaroon - Coconut pudding - Mango pudding - Creamsicle pudding The ice cream bar is the perfect end to your meal. My friend said to put the fried bananas in with the ice cream, which tastes like a banana split. He was right! This place has a couple of sushi robots. One had a cat face, which brought a birthday dessert to someone celebrating that evening. The other one was shorter and didn't have any face on it. I used the washroom before I left. The circular mirror with flowers on the counter were nice touches. I had a great time. It was nice returning for a fabulous dinner with great company. (150)

Have not been here in a long time. It seems like the options have been reduced from what we…read moreremember. No music was playing. We had a reservation and still have to wait for 30 minutes. Workers were talking about customers in chinese right next to our table. Food- our salmon sashimi had bones. Our eel had large bones as well. Udon had little to no flavor. Sushi was a large portion of rice and small and thin peices of fish. Sea weed salad was very dry. I think kaka food and service has slowly been going downhill for the last couple of years. Would recommend trying a different place if looking for sushi

Not bad, but far from being the best AYCE places I've been to…read more The salmon oshizushi is the best dish here (and it's quite refreshing and tasty). I did not like most of the other snacks/appetizers. The soy sauce they give out is quite nice doe - I wonder if it's home made. It has a very in depth flavour of bonito/dashi. I'd come back not for the AYCE, but cheaper alternatives for rolls to pair it with their soy sauce. Service was very mid. Vibe was meh, like other big ayce restaurants.

While they did have over 80 items on the menu, I've seen more at that price point and at a better quality level (though this wasn't bad). Usual suspects were on there - sushi, sashimi, rolls, grilled and deep fried good, Asian icecream desserts, etc. Freshness was ok, neither good or bad. Service was quick. I know people who like this place so maybe their regular offering is better.

Tomo has been our go-to sushi place for more than 10 years. Their sushi is more like the sushi we…read moretasted in Japan than what you'll find at many other sushi restaurants in the area. The size of the sushi, the quality of the rice, and the freshness of the fish are all perfected. Some other sushi spots nearby are more customized to suit the local market. Tomo recently renovated the entire restaurant, giving it a more modern and stylish look. The prices seem to have stayed the same, but they no longer provide complimentary crunchy noodle soup or orange slices after the meal. We've been ordering their Chef's Choice Party Tray for years. Recently, they introduced an even more premium option above that. It's a bit too expensive for us, so this time we ordered from their seasonal Summerlicious menu instead. Every dish had interesting flavors and was well worth trying. The service is always friendly and consistent. We'll definitely continue coming back to try more of their menu.

After trying a couple more spots in the past few months (ranked from worst to best: kiku, 168,…read morekaka, ichiban, Kung Fu), Echo sushi still reigns the best AYCE lunch spot around Toronto at the moment. Every dish is well catered, the fish is always fresh, the grilled dishes (beef ribs & garlic cube steak) are always cooked excellently, the fried items are delicious, and even the desserts (the ice cream with the chocolate sauce) are amazing too. I only wish that other big AYCE restaurants can learn from echo and stop wasting their money on iPads or robot cat servers and whatnot, but on their food. The service is always nice. Although the restaurant is quite old, but it's homey (and to be frank I don't care because the food is just that good).

It's a small place and I thought it might be good when I saw several Asian customers. The waitress was rather unenthusiastic.

The price was higher than most other places... $41 per person was overpriced in my opinion. That evening both my wife and myself were quite sick... Mild cases of food poisoning.

The cooking is generally decent, though the chicken skewer was dry & the udon soup tasteless. The sushi is above average in that the rice is noticeably warm & there's not too much of it, but it falls apart easily & there's not that much fish either. The meal came with a complimentary beef tataki. The sauce was heavier than usual - a bit fruity & quite acidic. It was pretty good. They have unusual dishes like yam fries, spicy miso soup & potato croquettes. They have one of smallest portions for sesame chicken for AYCE sushis, but definitely the largest sushi pizza portion. Dessert was a mixed bag. The sundae was good with crispy cookie crumbs & chocolate sauce. However the fried banana was below average (too soft, with too much artificial banana flavour) & the ice cream had more ice crystals than average.

They do not have torched pressed sushi, unfortunately. The mixed veggies was almost all bell peppers, with some onions, mushrooms, and zucchini added in. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten it, as no one in my family likes bell peppers. The beef skewer seemed to be breaded and then sauced, it was kind of mid. The noodle, rice, kalbi, and sushi were great.

They're more of a to-go spot so there's not much seating and sometimes you have to go up to the front to order but it's worth the extra steps. The salmon is always fresh and delicious, no fishy taste and the rolls have a good ratio of salmon to rice. The chicken katsu is also delicious with a lot katus in the portion. Its served with a side of miso soup. The yaki beef udon was also delivered with a variety of vegetables in it. Their other rolls are also a good size and have many fillings. The workers are very kind and always willing to help with the ordering process and any questions you have. Service is also quick, however if you have a big order it might be a good idea to order ahead as they tend to get busy. Overall a very cosy spot to grab some delicious Japanese food!
