One of the best sushi places in Scarborough. My picks are enoki beef roll, spicy salmon, mango yogurt, sizzling flounder, shrimp, and some of the other items in their menu. you order using an ipad so you wont need to wait for a server if you need to order more. washrooms are clean and the place is pretty busy which means fresher food. read more

This is my go to spot for AYCE sushi. I probably come here once a month. They've recently switched from ordering with a server to ordering sushi from an iPad. This system is much more efficient. I found that before it was just harder to get a server and some of the servers didn't take orders and that was confusing. The sashimi i find here is fresh and they've also recently gotten torched sushi. This means that the prices here went up too. Yesterday we had dinner for 3 people and it came to about $98. I like this place because they take visa/mastercard/debit/cash and charge the same price. They also do not auto add 10% to your bill. The food comes out fast. Taste great and the selection is pretty big. They do have some items that are weekend pricing only. i.e. baked scallops with garlic Overall, I do enjoy eating dinner here. Never had their lunch. Just a tip. If you come after 6:30/7 pm you will most likely have to wait for a table. It's busy here even during the weekday. They do take reservations so i highly suggest you make one if you're here with a big party. read more

This place is has really good appetizers and side dishes but I'm not the biggest fan of the sushi. A couple of the sushi options they have are decent but some of them are a total mess like the sexy summer roll... gross. My favourite appetizers are the teriyaki, chicken cutlets, tempura, sushi pizza and sushi pizza on a corn chip which was surprisingly addictive. PS don't order the ramen if you don't like having a fishy after taste. The seaweed is either a hit or a miss read more

Seats were worn out. Other than that, food was not too bad. It gets really busy specially on weekends and holidays. read more

I have been here twice, once when it just opened and the food did not taste good, second time I thought I would give it another try with my family, and it was just as bad, if not worse because of the service. I was pregnant into my second trimester at the time and could not eat half the things on the menu, so I asked for the a la carte menu and they did not give it to us until half an hour later because they did not want to since there were around 10 of us and everybody else was eating buffet and we were seated at the same table. It wasn't until my husband complained to the manager that they gave us the menu. After my order finally came, the waiters kept watching us to make sure I wasn't eating anything from the buffet menu. Overall, the food is shit, and the service isn't great so I would never come back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Hands down one of my favourite AYCE sushi restaurant. Aside from the wait time (highly recommend making reservations), the food quality is amazing for an AYCE sushi restaurant. I love the pressed sushi, even if it is loaded with slightly too much mayo for my preference. They have a great dessert selection (taro sago is probably my favourite), and overall a great atmosphere. read more

Surprisingly pricey! I came here for a birthday dinner about a month or two ago. The group I was with was quite large, and we ended up paying approximately 35 dollars per person. I understand they automatically include a service charge, but this was a Wednesday night dinner and not the weekend. In my past experiences, dinner on the weekdays had only been about 30 dollars. Not sure if there was an increase or not. Service is pretty good. Our waitress was very attentive and friendly despite us being put in the back room. This place uses iPads as their ordering tool, but I would put it at around 80% in accuracy for what comes (if it comes at all). Not too bad for an AYCE place. What I like about Sushi Legend is that there's a wide variety of items on the menu. Something for everyone to enjoy. I know that more AYCE places are expanding their menus now, but Sushi Legend has always had a larger selection than what I've come to expect. A solid 3.5 stars. Would definitely come back in the future. read more

I come to this sushi legend at least once a month (typically two or three times a month!!) and I absolutely love it. The food is great and the servers are super friendly. Leila is the best! My favourite items are the cheese wontons, the garlic beef cubes, the fried rice and the pressed torched salmon. The sashimi is great for AYCE sushi. I have never had a negative experience at sushi legend. I hope they open more locations some day. read more

Was craving sushi, and wanted to stay local in Scarborough and this popped up so we decided to try it out. I was genuinely surprised how beautiful the inside of the restaurant was. It's very spacious for lots of room for groups and even private parties. We were sat down quickly, for a Friday afternoon the place was pretty busy. It was near 3pm, so we thought we would miss the lunch menu, but we did not which was great. Checked in with Yelp and got a free welcome mocktail. Orders are with the iPad, but the selection is pretty underwhelming. It had all the regular dishes you'd expect at an AYCE sushi, but that's about it, I wouldn't say it was anything super special. All of our orders came in, but it did take some time for each dish to come. The food was okay to satisfy our cravings, but nothing amazing. The place was clean, and the price for lunch was average. Overall, it was okay, would I go there again? Maybe, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

THERE IS NO SASHIMI AT LUNCH. The dinner menu, however, is fabulous. There is a huge selection and a very wide variety of options available. Sashimi, sushi, hand rolls, various fried dishes, noodles, fried rice, appetizers, various seafood dishes. Fountain drinks are free and unlimited. I highly recommend making a reservation for dinners, otherwise, the wait can be quite long. Ordering is through an iPad, which they let you keep throughout dinner so you can keep ordering. The serving sizes are usually by individual piece, which really cuts down on waste- if you only have two people at the table, you can order two pieces of an item rather than getting a minimum of six like most other places. Service is quick. Food started arriving within minutes of ordering, and did not stop coming. They cleared plates fairly quickly, and there was sufficient staff so you didn't really have to search to get refills on drinks. I don't think they missed a single item we ordered, so they've got the system down really well! GREAT DISHES Salmon Head - Very juicy, cooked perfectly Torched Salmon Sashimi (rectangle shaped) - With torched mayo on top Fried Squid - The marinade was very nice Fried Noodles - A delicious, delicate smoky flavour Shrimp Tempura - Delightfully soft Beef Tataki - Tasty Scallop Sashimi (weekend/holiday dinners only) - Small, but they had that great mild scallop taste MEH Salmon Sashimi - Very bland, but the texture is good. Compared to all the other dishes, it's a surprising let down, especially since pricey scallop sashimi was much more flavourful. Garlic Fried Scallop - Way too garlicky. read more

57 minute wait on a Saturday night. People walking in off the street being sat before waiting customers in the lobby. Not cool, but they take reso's, good to know for next time. First time here, so we decided to let it go and see how "good" the sushi was and what all the hype was about. Let's just say the hype was pretty real. The sushi was all fresh. So was the rice. Everything that came out sushi wise was fresh and good. Things ordered off the BBQ SECTION came out hot hot hot. Service was very fast and the food was almost the best I've had for an AYCE sushi joint. Unfortunately they lose some stars for not having any mango ice cream on a Saturday! HOOOOOOW?! That's the best thing on the menu! Anyways. Pretty good AYCE. I will return. Good bang for buck here. 3/5! read more

This is our first time to Sushi Legend. When we got here around 6:30pm (made reservations) on a long weekend it wasn't packed. We got our seats immediately. Ordering food on a tablet was easy. Like that the sashimi pieces were in order of increments of 1 piece. The sashimi was very good. The beef tataki and beef short ribs were yummy. Love the okras and mushrooms- were cooked with butter and garlic. The beef roll wrapped in green onion was dry and seemed over cooked. Soft drinks were included. The usual soft drink choices. The only thing we didn't like were the sushi rolls. They were on the bland side. read more

Everything is sooooo fresh, so clean, so delicious. The foods presentation is excellent, the service is super quick and the space has a great atmosphere. Would highly recommend. I love sushi and I haven't been to a better place then this! read more

I rarely visit ayce Japanese restaurants, but came here with my parents and their friends. They have a big selection of cooked foods. I came during dinner, so I got to try the sashimi. The scallop sashimi is really yummy and not many ayce serve them. The beef tataki is served in a ponzu sauce and really good!! There is also the salmon in yuzu sauce that makes it very citrus-y and refreshing. The roll and sushi come with small amounts of rice, so you won't be too filled up on carbs and you're able to try more foods. My mackerel sashimi never came, but I didn't bother ordering it again since I was getting full trying all the other foods available. I tried a couple of rolls and wasn't too impressed. I had crazy roll and spider, it was just okay. The sushi and sashimi are much better. The tempura are very crunchy and fresh, beef enoki roll and pork enoki rolls are fresh and juicy. Diced garlic with sirloin steak is not over cooked. The service is pretty good, and really fast. Food just keeps coming and we were trying hard to clear the plates fast enough to accommodate new ones. The menu comes with free drinks, but don't fill up too much in carbonated drinks. Lastly, the desserts!! Huge selection, not just your ice cream. There was herbal jelly, creme brulee, mango pudding, mango yogurt, lychee yogurt, fried banana. The mango yogurt shots are so good!!! Something I look forward to whenever we have ayce! The price is pretty decent. 26.95 for weekend dinner, 24.95 for weekday (no scallop sashimi). They have children prices and senior pricing. The restaurant is bright and big. Nicely lit up, and in the new mall next to bestco. read more

Overall not too bad of a place, though I did expect better! I came for AYCE on a weekday at lunch, and it was about 19.99$ (I think don't quote me haha). I found the sushi to be really good, as well as the fried udon I got! Not the biggest fan on their dessert selection. I saw several reviews about Creme Brûlée, but I didn't see it on the online, or in-person menu? The decor of this place is absolutely beautiful. Fell in love the moment I walked in. One thing is the servers vs food runners. You either need a more distinctive uniform between the two, or just train food runners as servers too. Even just to order a drink (their all you can drink pop), the food runners had no idea what I was talking about.. and I kept calling them instead of servers because I couldn't distinguish between them lol. I've been to so many AYCE sushi places now, and still, none can top my fave Matsuda haha. Sushi Legend you're in my top 3 tho! read more

On a recommendation by a friend, we came here for dinner with a large group including many children. I felt like our group was well accomodated, and left very satisfied. There was easy and efficient ordering via ipad, with the aid of coloured photographs and portion size in brackets. This means that you know how many pieces you are ordering when you select the item. I liked the variety of food. It came out quickly after an order was placed, and it was fresh and seasoned nicely. Food was also good quality. I particularly liked the short ribs, garlic steamed scallops, torched sushi, and pressed sushi. There was a good ratio between fish and rice (not an over-abundance of rice), and the food was prepared well (sometimes you can tell when places are rushing and their pieces look sloppy). The only thing I thought needed improvement was the fried milk and tempura banana dessert - it could use a bit more flavour but was still alright. The staff were excellent and unobtrusive. We never had to ask for anything twice. I felt satisfied and would return. I suppose that you get what you pay for - the price is steep, but worth it. I read about people having issues waiting for a seat. We made a reservation ahead of time and did not have to wait - would recommend others do the same. read more

Good food. The beef kalbi and tataki is amazing for an AYCE menu item. Sometimes they give you less quantity of food than what you order.

yay just as consistent as their leslie&finch location! good service and yummy food! only thing I can say is that it seems their layout isn't quite as great, with a lot of big tables randomly placed. but I'm thankful for the opening of this location since its in such a convenient plaza closer to home :). also. they have free all you can drink soft-drinks!! that's pretty awesome. read more

I usually go there with my girl friends. Food was pretty good and quite fresh. The price includes soft drinks. We love their beef tataki sashimi and grill beef rib are delicious... The dessert is also pretty good... Lots of varieties of food. However, some dishes were not served and we had to order second time. Plus the service was not the greatest... Overall experience is not bad! read more

Keto-Friendly I love Sushi Legend! Been to both this one and the North York one, and I love them! Friends and family love sushi, and it's hard to go because I follow a ketogenic diet, but Sushi Legend has great sashimi selections! The salmon sashimi is great! I can eat the meats too like the Short Ribs (but just be conscious that the marinade on them probably has a lot of sugar, so try to moderate it!) I always go here with friends, and the rolls are AMAZING! Used to eat them all the time prior to my Keto lifestyle! read more

The only good thing here was the salmon sashimi, all the other fish options were gross. Some of the sides were okay but it was half a hit or miss. For a place that's supposed to specialize in sushi, the rolls they served were lower quality than supermarket sushi. For a roll as simple as california roll, all i tasted was cucumber. Both the yam tempura and yam rolls that was served had undercooked yam read more

Positives: staff was friendly; sushi, sashimi, ramen tasted good; liked the ordering style(esp good if there's a language barrier) there's paper menu you fill out and hand in; area was clean Negatives: food from the grill or that was fried had crossed flavors (ie. Our beef teriyaki tasted like fish, one of our deep friend sushi rolls tasted like bananas); asked for a drink refill, was brought napkins; asked for a glass of water, they refilled the tea pots; half our dessert order wasn't brought to us; one guest didn't want dessert, just another order of ramen, and that item was missed(we suspect they only looked at the dessert section of the menu); half of the grilled items we received tasted very dry. We went there for my brothers birthday last night. It looked like a nice place, but there are so many AYCE Japanese restaurants I would rather go to. I would go back as a guest for someone else's event, but I personally wouldn't choose to go there. read more

Reasonable lunch price, can't expect too much. Avg sushi buffet quality. But the California Roll is very disappointing. They only use cucumber skin to make rolls? To keep food cost low? read more

Sushi Legend - California roll - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Had come for Sunday dinner, made a reservation for 8pm. Had difficulty finding the restaurant because it's sign is not that visible from where we drove into the plaza, but it's next to the Dollarama on the left but you won't find parking in the areas directly in front of the restaurant. It was pretty well full when we got in, but we got seated right away. Our table was already set with a thermos of green tea, and normal place settings, and wasabi and pickled ginger (palate cleanser). Although I think the ginger has been out of its pickling juices a while because it didn't taste that fresh (I would suggest they get it out the jar when setting it up rather than having preset way ahead of time or not take the top portion). Ordering by iPad seems pretty standard for these AYCE places. Food arrived fairly quickly after the order was placed. Miso soup was not hot when it arrived, the taro sago dessert was hotter at the end. Ordered most of the sashimi types they had but best is the scallop sashimi as other reviewers had mentioned. Tried a number of the pressed and torched sushi (1st time I had this), there is one common theme, they all had a flavoured mayo on them, and too much for my palate because it became overpowering. Had to wipe off some of the mayo to down the last pieces. Got 3 types of beef, grilled beef short ribs (best of the 3), sirloin beef, beef wrapped around enoki (I wouldn't have ordered it but my son ordered it,not that tender but that's the nature of the item). We both liked the sizzling flounder. Tried a number of the sushi (my son likes BBQ eel, ordered 15 on 1st order, 6 more on the next), rolls. Generally, fish portion is smaller as mentioned by others, those that had cucumber had more of it than other places. My adult son had a BBQ eel hand roll too and I could see a lot of cucumber in it, of which he felt the same. Sushi Legend fried rice, not really a fan of flavoured mayo in my fried rice, I don't feel the 2 go together that well and my son felt the same way, he had bit and didn't try anymore. The taro sago dessert soup was good. My overall rating is 2.5 stars, even though I've only been to Matsuda for the lunch AYCE, I feel they would have been a better choice. read more

I'm the type of person who repetitively revisits a new place until I find something wrong with it. I came back to Legend 3 days after my first visit and there were some differences. First, I went back for the weekend menu .. and the only difference is that it includes sashimi scallop for $2 more. & for my family it was definitely worth it. (BUT, when we put 20 ... they gave us 10) All of my previous reviews still holds true but there're some slight differences. First, I realized a lot of the items we ordered don't arrive .. at all. & then for one order, they decided to ignore all of my sushi and rolls but managed to serve all my sashimi. I loved their beef teriyaki - it was semi raw and deliciously cooked. The server also refilled my boyfriend's drink multiple times but ignored my sister & I :( Overall, the previous review still holds true (esp about the dessert and rolls). read more

Came here for my birthday dinner last night with high hopes that a new worthy competitor had risen in the ayce sushi market. I was deeply disappointed by the overall experience. Food: mediocre and lacking ACTUAL variety. The so-called "special dinner only menu" consisted of dishes that despite were "interesting", in reality just tasted odd. For example, the special salmon sashimi was this strange hybrid between smoked salmon and salmon sashimi. It was quite off putting. They also 'seemingly' offer a large selection of maki rolls but don't be deceived because they're all basically the same thing - with cucumber being the main ingredient. The cooked food was just alright as the meats weren't exceptionally tender but not too tough to chew either. Interestingly for desserts, they offered herbal turtle jelly which tasted alright and was something new. However, their ice cream had freezer burn and overall, they offered a much smaller selection of desserts than most other places. The tea, not being green tea in the first place, was bland and served in a metal mug that lacked any Japanese authenticity. Environment: 100% unacceptable. The tables were basically wooden planks concealed with Chinese restaurant white table cloths followed by a layer of brown construction paper?!? Completely inappropriate. They literally used the same brown paper we use at camp to prevent kids from drawing on the tables with crayons... Very unclassy. That being said, the only redeeming factor of this restaurant was the outstanding service of ONE of the waitresses. Though I never caught her name, she truly deserves this shout out because of her impeccable attitude and work ethics. She was quick with clearing our empty dishes, hardworking when my dad messed up and spilled his cup of coke, and had a smile on her face throughout the entire night. read more

I read the other reviews and heard from others that sushi legend was worth trying but I was very disappointed. The highly recommeded scallop sashimi was icy and bland. It tasted more like an ice cube. Even their salmon sashimi was disappointing. It wasn't fresh at all and looked like it's been out for a while. Cooked items like the okra and shrimp tasted more Chinese than Japanese, marinated heavily with soy sauce and garlic. The physical location was okay. It was spacious and servers were nice. Good for large groups. read more

I recently went here with my family for dinner. We walked in incredibly hungry and left feeling full. Overall the food was quite tasty and I would eat a lot of it again. However, if you go in hungry make sure to order lots. The glaring issue is that the portions are fit for a hobbit. For example, we ordered a serving of dumplings, and at most places that is a plate of four or five. The picture on the menus even show a plate of five. However, one order equals one single dumpling, meaning you must order at least 12 for a family of six. Also, you wanna know what the downfall was? The time to serve was crazy. Some items came in a matter of five minutes, but others, such as the Gyoza took literally an hour to come. True story, we were eating dessert when they arrived,and even that was a miracle, as we had to beg a waiter to bring them. A for food, C- for service. read more

We've been here before for lunch, and dinner kicked lunch's butt, hands down! The wait to get seated was reasonable considering how busy they were, and the service was on point our entire meal. It was also nice to have the manager check in and see how our meal was. Speaking of meal, there are no food pics because we inhaled it all too fast. Maybe I'll snap some next time. I would recommend trying it all, but the following were our faves: Beef tataki Mushroom with butter Angel roll Sirloin with garlic Grilled shrimp read more

Went there for lunch and had an all-you-can-eat meal with my family. The food itself wasn't particularly bad but it wasn't great either, but the tiny portion sizes were really a turn-off for me. After realizing that the dishes we ordered were so tiny, we ordered more, only to wait some more, successfully losing some of our appetites. The whole thing cost us 77 dollars and in the end, we left the restaurant feeling a tad bit ripped off. Overall, the decor was nice, the service was okay and the food was mediocre. An alright place to go if you just want to have a casual meal with your friends and/or family. read more

Overall great experience. We went in group of 9 and they accommodated us really well. A quick note, if you are a group of 8+, you should call to make reservation as they only got one table that's big enough. Food is pretty good. The sushi and sashimi are better than the average of other AYCE places. The beef tataki and the scallop sashimi are really good. The tempura and teriyaki items are on par with the rest of the AYCE places. Their desserts are very... very... GOOD! Service is good, not outstanding, but we were a huge group and I felt we were taken care of. The speed is relatively fast comparing to other places. However, whenever we put in a big order in the Ipad, the sashimi's are always the last the arrive. We do get the number of pieces we asked for (unlike some other AYCE sushi place I've been to), and it's not that long of a wait, so it's not a big deal. read more

This is a pretty good AYCE place for sushi. They have tons of options for both sushi and cooked foods. You order from an iPad and your food comes out within 10 minutes. Service was fast and the waitresses were quick to bring other things when we asked. I really like that they have raw scallops on their menu as not maybe AYCE places have it nowadays.The quality of the sushi was average, no complaints for the price you are paying. They also include pop at no extra charge. We made a reservation for 8pm and we are so glad we did because it was so packed when we got there. We were seated after 10 minutes so that was great. The adult price is $34.95 on weekends now and children is $16.95. Make sure you check the bill for the correct pricing for children if you are dining in because they charged us an adult price for a 9 year until we told them. read more

I came here for lunch on a Monday and it was 20.95 per person. The menu selection was very slim. There is not a lot to choose from. Pop drinks are free and unlimited. The quality of the ingredients were okay, not that fresh though. There is no sashimi available for lunch AYCE and that was disappointing. I do not think I got my money's worth and I don't think I will go back. I rather go to Teni-chi's. read more

One of the most disappointing and over-priced sushi I've had. #1 We had to wait about 45 minutes for a table for what we later on found out was terrible sushi. #2 Sushi lacked any sort of texture other than mushy (felt like I was eating mashed potatoes) #3 Their stir fried items (wok-items) seemed to feature garlic as their only seasoning #4 Their iPad system was so terrible. Their iPads were so laggy that it sent our order to the kitchen 15 minutes AFTER we inputted it. #5 It took them longer to bring out our salads than our sushi and grilled items #6 When we thought they would redeem their quality with some aburi/nigiri, it was a sauce-overdose. #7 After finally giving up on this place, we just wanted to pay and leave... BUT TOOK THEM 20 MINUTES TO BRING THE BILL Conclusion: we paid $40 each for some bottomless soda. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend, very busy had to wait 20 mins to get seated and had to share a table, which I don't mind but they kept mixing up which party ordered what which was understandable. IPads for ordering is awesome but none of the food really surprised me here, typical ayce sushi that we challenge ourselves to eat as much as possible, only plus is that its not too far from my home and they bring the food out quickly. basic ayce spot but will return read more

Overall the food was great. Sake mussels were a favourite of mine and of course the sashimi and surf clams were awesome. Sushi was good. Quality was nice. Just a bit of a nag though was the service in the beginning. Waitresses/waiters don't even look at you to see if you need something or need to take a menu from you. Had to hold up my hand for five minutes and I actually had to get UP and walk towards a waitress. And she held it for another five minutes and I had to ask the manager to deal with it. All our waters were done 10 minutes in and never refilled again. A lot of hands are up asking for assistance but no acknowledgement.. I know it's a newer restaurant because outside there was flowers saying Welcome and Congrats! Overall great place to eat. Lots of room. Beautiful place. Just gotta fix the service abit. read more

A typical all you can place. Food is delicious and each portion is reasonably small. Price is not on the high end I guess. The problem I have is that you only get 2/5 of the orders you place at max, so good luck with ordering. Overall I would still recommend this place. read more

Went for the first time after reading all the rave reviews. Liked that they had scallop sashimi on the weekend but found all the sashimi to be very bland. Lacking the fresh taste of sashimi. The aburi sushi was smoky but too heavily sauced. Unlike other reviews, all the orders came very quickly, no missed orders and the service was very good. We liked: fake shark fin soup, grilled squid and creme brûlée. Found sashimi and sushi to be average. A little pricey for the quality of food provided. But it appears all the other tables enjoyed their food. Especially the family of 5 at the next table who ordered 15 bowls of ice cream, 10 creme brûlée's, and 40 shots of desserts all in one order. read more

Very good assortment of all you can eat sushi and other foods (including cooked hot food) but come with special rolls like the sexy summer roll which is a refreshing twist with a tangy mangoey taste to start your palate. The dinner menu are pretty extensive but can get a little pricey on the weekend and fridays. read more

Went with my family for dinner on a Monday evening. Price was good for AYCE - food is extremely fresh. You can tell the difference in quality versus other AYCE sushi places like Matsuda on Don Mills or Heart Sushi at Fairview Mall. Service was good, albeit lots of the waiters speak/understand minimal English. Food came quickly and waiters were always available for assistance if needed. Lots of selection from their menu - not only sushi, but they have small appetizers. Would recommend and would definitely return. read more
