My favourite All You Can Eat Sushi restaurant. Every time it has been fresh, consistent and tasty. Sano has a great variety of food from dim sum (delicious Har Gow/ Shrimp Dumpling) to varying sushi rolls and delicious Wakame and Crab salad (must order). I highly recommend this place for both lunch and dinner, it's really worth it! read more

Sano sushi used to be amazing but I can definitely see the cost cutting coming into effect. The salmon sashimi used to be cut nice and big - super fresh but now is cut into smaller pieces, not as fresh as before. The sushi doesn't seemed crammed with rice but looks half-assed. Service is still quick and the servers are quick to offer you a refill with your drink. There is no 15% discount anymore. Bottomless drinks and dessert are still included in the lunch and dinner. I would still give the place another shot because I did come during a snowstorm, so that could've been why things were a little off. 3/5 read more

I got sushi delivered twice to my home and both times the sushi was delivered in less than 30 min. Sushi was fresh and well made, but the edamane had random bits of tofu which makes me think if they gave us leftover edamane from other people's tables.... Lady on the phone had extreme difficulty speaking English and I had to repeat my phone number 5 times before she got it right. Its a decent sushi delivery service, probably will order from Sano again. read more

I have been coming here very often since it's opened and have never been disappointed with the food and service. Prior to Sano sushi, there was also an all you can eat sushi restaurant owned by Koreans at this location called VIP Sushi but I stopped coming because of the price and their menu did not justify their high cost. Ever since Sano sushi opened last year, business has been booming for the owner, Ryan. They have an excellent selection for lunch all you can eat and have recently added two dim sum items! (shrimp dumplings and siu mai) I highly recommend this place for lunch (and dinner) as it has a huge selection on their menu and offers items like dim sum, shrimp tempura and green dragon roll that some places only offer for dinner. The best part of this place is that the prices don't change whether it's a weekday or weekend. Prices for adult lunch is 12.95 and adult dinner is 20.95. The only negative I would say about this place is the fact that they forget to input some of your order but I have yet to go to an AYCE sushi restaurant that has had my order perfect. read more

Food is okay, customer service is absolutely terrible though. You're better off giving your money to people that have half a brain. We called and asked when their lunch menu finished and they told us 3:30, we told them we were on the way. Arrived just in time at 3:29 and they refused to honour their lunch time, saying that the price went up $8 extra each because its "now dinner". Another time we were eating dinner close to when they were closing and an employee decided to start mopping with a bleach solution right beside our table. The smell was so disgusting that we couldn't enjoy the rest of the food and felt ill. We were regulars there because its close to home but the way they watch you eat & treat you as a customer is far from good. It's a shame but you can truly find someplace better at around the same price. read more

Personally I wouldn't dine here but I always grab some takeout. It's truly the best bang for your buck if you're looking to get full. Pay in cash, you save 30% if you order takeout!!! Before 3 p.m. you can grab a lunch bento for around 7.14 with tax!! Bentos come with rice, salad, 3 pieces California rolls, and miso soup. Super filling. The food isn't the best jap, but for its price it's good when you're really hungry cause it's very fulfilling. Like you can get a full bento for same price as a McDonald combo. follow my food ig for more reviews: @gta.eatss read more

I usually get lunch take-out. Always been great, fresh and tasty, for an amazing price! My rating is for the takeout experience. You get A LOT of good food for your money. Tip: pay cash for $discount read more

Food-wise: the sushi was made with super "watery" rice, can definitely tell its just ordinary rice and not Japanese rice, one of the worst ones I've had in a long time. I enjoyed their mango pudding though. Service-wise: not sure if its because we sat really close to the kitchen/bar area, we got our needs attended relatively quickly, although they did deliver dishes which we never ordered. Quick tip: "10% off if paid by cash" was stated on their website but no where to be found on their menu. We wanted to pay by cash to save 10%, however on the bill they assumed that we were paying by debit/credit until we asked. So make sure you tell them beforehand! I wouldn't recommend this place if you are looking for good quality or freshly made sushi, its just a really typical AYCE place in my opinion. read more

Time visited : Monday afternoon at 2pm. Atmosphere: modern-casual meets elegant. Cleanliness: tables and chairs/benches are kept clean. disposable chopsticks! Constructive criticism: The Wakami salad should be a larger portion, and the Salmon Sashimi should be cut larger too. I wish there was steamed egg on the menu. Their Bulgogi dish should have more beef. Their Sweet & Sour sauce is very sour and is definitely not the typical sauce you see at other Asian restaurants. Cuisine: Japanese. Facilities: I did not use their facilities. Food: All You Can Eat (AYCE) - Dinner Menu! I ordered 10pcs of Salmon Sashimi (good), 1 dish of Bulgogi (good flavor), 1 dish of Sweet & Sour chicken (dressing was too sour - rancid, but chicken was good), 2 pcs of Cheese Wonton (excellent), 1 Red Dragon Roll (great). Likeliness of returning or recommending to others: Will return, but not frequently due to distance from home. Will recommend to others because their food is tasty although is small portioned. Parking: Private. Portion Sizes: small to fair. Price: fair to ok. I paid $28 with tip for one person dinner menu (because of the sashimi). Lunch for Adult $13.95 - Lunch for Senior $12.95, Lunch for Kids ages 7-10 $9.95, Lunch for Child ages 3-6 $5.95, Dinner for adult $21.95, Dinner for Senior $19.95, Dinner for Kids ages 7-10 $14.95, Dinner for Child ages (3-6) $7.95. Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays: Dinner (Adult) $22.95, Dinner (Senior) $20.95, dinner price for Kids and Children will remain the same Service: I was immediately greeted when I walked in. I sat myself after given the option to select any open seat. Service is prompt, friendly. Not so knowledgeable of their own items available. Having to ask other servers what is inside their rolls. Selection: Wide variety. . Restaurant Hours: Monday - Sunday 11:00am - 10:30pm Website: www.sanosushi.com read more

Always a solid meal, but the prices for kids is a bit much. My 8 year old was charged almost $19, and he doesn't eat that much and my 6 year old was $9. The sushi was small but at least the rice wasn't bigger then the actual fish pieces. read more

Highly not recommended. 1. Sushi rice was as thick as a pillow 2. The sashimi on top of the rice pillow was poorly sliced with rips and tears on it 3. Sushi was warm 4. Waitress didn't even know what they were serving..reminded her our eel sushi hadn't come yet. . And she pointed to a random sushi already on the table and claimed that to be the eel 5. The only thing to compliment was the mango pudding dessert Overall, ranked lowest of the ayce Japanese restaurants I've been to. read more

The nigiri sushi was excellent! Maki rolls were a little small, and even though its all you can eat they basically stopped bringing us food

This used to be my favourite go to sushi restaurant but the last few times my daughter and I went, we felt overwhelmingly tired and feeling like the food was not digesting but rather sitting at the top of our stomach. Later we both had diarrhea and stomach pain. 2 days later I still feel nauseas and my daughter still is tired with no energy. I don't know what the hell they put in their food but this is concerning and very disturbing. I think it's more then just the MSG we all know is added. Well, they've lost 2 of their regular customers for good. read more

I am giving this place a perfect review because of the quality of service and food. I don't have hug expectations with AYCE sushi. I feel like if you've been to one, they're almost all the same. Some perks for the different ones. One thing I want to know is if my sashimi is fresh (as fresh as it can get for AYCE). After having narruto sushi in Richmond hill (which I don't recommend at all), this was definitely a refreshing change. I come here for lunch and I love it. Sushi is prepared well with good quality! The service is point on! There's this one server, she's really cute and quiet, I want to just her a hug everytime I see her! She takes care if me and she's so sweet. I highly recommend this place, you won't be disappointed. Love their salmon cheese roles!!! read more

A typical All You Can Eat sushi place. Good: The sashimi is fresh and waiter/waitresses are very attentive Con: The rice in the rolls are simply not up to standards, it's very sticky, and the filling is not high quality. The meat/fried items are not very fresh and ill prepared. If you just want some sashimi, and generic AYCE to fill your belly, this place is very nice. However, if you are looking for very good rolls/cooked beef/fried appetirzers, avoid this place read more

Ordered off skip the dishes, I had eaten here before in the restaurant.. was quite impressed by the rolls that where delivered. Great flavour, great packaging. Every thing was great. Very fresh when you order skip the dishes. I haven't eaten in the restaurant in a few years so that's why the 4 star. read more

One of the better ayce sushi spots in the richmond hill/thornhill area. I have been here several times and the sashimi is always fresh. Nothing special about the customer service. A few items to try in my opinion: garlic beef, salmon sashimi, cheese wontons, black dragon, general tao chicken, shrimp tempura, and chocolate and strawberry pudding. They also include pop in their ayce price. The price is quite competitive compared to some of the other places in the area and they offer a 10% discount if you pay with cash. read more

The staff are extremely rude who don't know anything about customer service and the food quality is horrible. Ordered a green dragon role which came with over-riped dark coloured avocados covered up with teriyaki sauce. Another friend at the same table found a piece of hair in their sushi. The food is not worth the money at all for the quality you get. I went with a group of friends who wanted all you can eat and the staff also charged me $33 for all you can eat even though I ordered only 2 items from their regular menu. read more

Been coming here for over a year now to satisfy my on and off sushi craving. Service is always fast and the food is tasty! Favourite is the green dragon roll. read more

Nice AYCE Japanese restaurant with fresh sashimi, including ika and maguro. I have visited here twice and will say the quality of the hot food is uneven--the first time the deep fried items had too much batter and the second time the items were lightly battered. read more

This is going to be my one and only review on Yelp because I have been reading the negative reviews and do not feel as though they accurately portray the restaurant. I've been going here ever since the first day they opened. I've also been to probably every AYCE sushi restaurant within 20 kilometers of Sano Sushi, and this is by far the best one (which is reasonably priced). Even my worst experience at this restaurant wouldn't have earned 1 star, so I don't know what these reviews are about. Is this the highest quality of sushi you can find in the world? Obviously not. However, for a Vaughan AYCE sushi restaurant, it's pretty good. If you are expecting a crazy high-quality level of service and food, then I strongly suggest going to a high-quality restaurant that will charge you a minimum of $100 per person, not $19 for lunch. Support small businesses - just because you had one bad experience doesn't mean that the restaurant is worthy of a one-star review. read more

I called in for take out and they could barely speak English and it was so hard to place my order. The price was the same as everywhere else and the quality was ok though the Salmon Sashimi was not very fresh and the Salmon rolls were extremely oily... I got takeout so I'm not sure how the service is but I'm not sure if I would go back unless I really have to.. read more

This is what I consider a good version of the typical sushi places you can find around the area. The service is usually quick to start and pricing is reasonable (we spent $75 for all you can eat for the5 of us). Good quality is quite good and we all left full and happy. Overall a good choice to go with friends or family. If you're looking to impress a date or business partner you should look elsewhere. I give it a 8 out of 10 based in food and price. read more

Came here for a family dinner(7 people). We got put into the "party room" and they cant really see us so we got ignored after our first order for about 30 mins. Messed up our orders. Forgot some orders. Just a terrible experience overall. read more

Came here on a day when the power went out. The restaurant was not filled to the door when we went in, so we were a little surprised. I came with three friends, and one of them was a sushi eating fiend. The fish was fresh, and the cooked food was pretty good. They have a pretty good selection of sushi and sashimi. We ordered 50 pieces of salmon sashimi at first, and they did not take us seriously. We got this plate of prettily placed salmon, but it was definitely not 50 pieces. After we finished the first plate, we ordered another 50 pieces of salmon sashimi. Then I think they realised we meant business and served up a platter of big fat pieces of salmon. They didn't bother to make it pretty this time lol. There's also this item on the menu called crazy tuna roll. We were really curious as to what makes it crazy, and after some speculation, we decided to order it. It was a big fat roll stuffed with a bunch of tuna, then wrapped in tuna. It was a mouthful. They also have a great selection of desserts. I always get sold on desserts. Especially mango yogurt. Mmmm. The only reason that I took off a star is that the service was kind of slow. Especially at the beginning when we were super hungry. And they missed some orders that we had to remind them about. Otherwise, would go here again! read more

Came here tonight for dinner The restaurant was extremely busy The service was amazing and so was the food Didn't have to wait too long and we received everything that we ordered It's become one of our frequent spots read more

Sushi was mediocre. Service was awful. The staff look like they hate their jobs. Orders did come for an hour or more. Some items were forgotten about. Would never come back here again. read more

A white people Japanese wannabe joint. You get 10% off if paying by cash. Great if you are looking for a system flush. Nothing beats having all you can eat Japanese then spending hours on the toilet after. Do not expect nice decor, it's more like a diner style. On the flip side, they do have a good variety of choices. Staff are friendly. Non- alcoholic drink comes free with meal. Do not order the takala-whatever version of sashimi. read more

I've been coming to Sano sushi for over 10 years, never disappointed. I always go there for my birthday and my friends love it too. During this time (Covid) I did pick up and it was as good as always. Price is reasonable, quality is good. read more

If you want bug in your sushi and edamame this is the place to go to. The waitress ignored us the entire time and roles her eyes when you ask for something. And when the bug was shown to the waiter he was not at all surprised!! They even charged us even thought we didn't eat. The waiter was very rude. The entire restaurant was very dirty and also smelled. Very poor customer service. Their kitchen has a very low health and sanitary standards. We went as a group of six and everyone got sick afterwards. Stay clear of this place... read more

Love this place! The foods always amazing, and the customer service is always phenomenal.

Best AYCE sushi in GTA ! (Coming for 5+ years and have tried 10+ other AYCE sushi places) $22.99 (mon-thur) and 23.99 (fri-sun) dinners ( i have only gone to dinners) + cash (10%off) They let you have the dinner menu ANY time of the day so you can have the more luxurious menu at lunch as well. - Includes pop - 100+ foods - Dim sum (never seen at other AYCE sushi places) - Larger selection of sashimi (has more than just the basics) - LARGE selection of sushi, hand rolls, maki rolls - Has more expensive dishes like (salmon belly, calamari, avocado salad, dim sum, oyster, red tuna sushi, shrimp (all kinds), mussels, grilled saba. As well as tataki sashimi!) - Large dessert selection, most AYCE sushi just give you ice cream. Service is amazing, just ask the server if you have any special requests or substitutions. Most of all the fish is fresh! The sashimi has always been the best i've tried. read more

We ordered take out this evening and we received our order quickly, but not only was the food poor quality part of the order was missing. We ordered the maki set combo and spicy maki set combo and on the menu under the combo section it shows that they come with miso soup and salad. The problem is that we did not get the soup or salads I stopped the driver to tell him and he had no idea. He called the store and they told me that what I ordered did not come with soup and salad even though the menu clearly shows that it does. They refused to do anything about this ( I would have been happy with receiving the soup later on I wasnt asking for money back). Instead of trying to make a customer happy they remained steadfast and, as a result, have lost a customer. The worst part is that the food wasn't even that good. It was average at best. If they were more receptive I would have given the food a second chance, but their attitude has turned me away forever. read more

Good buffet for a very cheap price. they do not have the best service but its ok. i come here once a month (don't judge me) and anyone that i showed this place to have also fallen in love with it read more

I don't get why people are giving this place rave reviews. Sushi rice is overcooked and mushy in the rolls makes the seaweed soft. Sashimi isn't fresh. The waitress was chewing food while serving. So many of our food items did not come. Website says serves oysters on weekends, they do not. read more

I'd give 0 stars if I could. 1 is a stretch. What disgusting food and horrid service, just down right rude waiters. I'd never recommend this place to ANYONE. Save your money and go anywhere else and trust me when I say it will be better. read more

Service is extremely poor and very unorganized. No greetings and smiles from waitresses. Food is fair and location is ghetto. Definitely won't return the next time. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. This is my second time going to sano sushi and both times were awful. The sushi is NOT FRESH!! The appetizers are decent, however the sushi (including sashimi, hand roles, sushi roles, etc) ARE NOT FRESH AT ALL. You can literally taste the poor and old quality of their sushi items. On top of this - when I told the manager that our plate of sushi did not taste fresh, he stood there and argued with me for a solid 10 minutes, saying that I was WRONG and that our opinion on the food was flawed. SAVE YOUR MONEY and go to 168 sushi. It's a bit pricier but worth every penny. You can taste the quality in their food and you wont leave disappointed - trust me!! read more

This is yet another AYCE sushi place. I've tried a million in the GTA and this one compares favorably. There are some flaws but it's a strong contender for future visits. Pros: -Clean & attentive service, unlike a lot of other places. Fills my tea promptly. Checks on us often. Doesn't forget our items -Decent menu selection. Dessert is more than other places. They have mousse cake and some jelly. -Teppanyaki shrimp here is the next level. Shrimps were HUGE. -Beef skewers were the highlight of the meal -Tataki version of white tuna and salmon sashimi. -The rolls were excellent. I had arctic, double dragon, and monkey roll. Not too much rice. -They provide soft drinks. -Tempura chicken and fish katsu are things I haven't seen before in AYCE sushi. The chicken was a very tender piece of chicken breast. Disappointments: -While I like red tuna sushi, they cut it way to thin. If you're going to cheap out on it and give me lots of rice, I'd prefer you just took it off the menu. Other sushi weren't as bad but the fish-rice ratio isn't up to my standard. -Sano Shrimp was awful, especially for a dish that has the restaurant's name. -Mackerel sashimi was heavily salted. -The teppanyaki squid didn't feel like teppanyaki. It felt like stir fried squid. It's $22 for weekday dinner buffet. 10% off if you pay cash. It's worth it. read more

My experience at Sano Sushi is one i dread to experience again. Me and my sister went for dinner, got seated immediately, and got our order in promptly. Me and my sister both commented on the spot that we were sat in- it was in a completely different section of the restaurant. It was a little bit darker and out of the way but we thought nothing of it. We had to specify the order MULTIPLE times, but eventually when the food came it was actually pretty good. The Spicy Salmon roll was impressive, as was the red tuna and the freshness of the fish. My personal favourite part of the meal was the salmon roses and the Red Snapper sashimi (freezing cold and fresh, AMAZING) This is where the experience turned to shit. As we were eating, we noticed the waiters and waitresses seemed to be speaking and laughing a lot in their language, and then looking over at us and laughing. We knew they weren't checking up on how we were doing because they would have walked by and asked, and we knew they weren't checking to see if we need more drinks because i mean, why would somebody laugh at that. Its simply not funny. This seemed fishy to me (no pun intended). Eventually it became so irritating to my sister and I that i looked at them until they made eye contact, and when they made eye contact with me they were about to laugh, but when they saw that i was watching, they stopped in a very guilty looking manor. As we were paying for our meal, we noticed another couple had walked in. Just prior to this my sister and I were discussing this odd behaviour and why might it be occurring. They sat the couple next to us when they sat every other person that walked in to the restaurant in the main section. Then I noticed something- *****Every single person that was seated in the main section was either Asian or normal white christian. The people that were sat next to us were a couple of two, one indian male, and one jewish looking women. Me and my sister are both born into a jewish family however she looks mexican and i look dark skinned. I came to the conclusion that this restaurant is racist and anti-Semitic and therefore i will not be returning in the future. Food: 6 out of 10 Service: 1 out of 10 (if that) Overall Experience: Unhappy and uncomfortable If you feel like going out for dinner and are in the mood for all you can eat judgment and discrimination, by all means, please feel free to stop by Sano Sushi on Yonge Street. read more
