This is my favourite sushi spot. I usually go on weekends for their AYCE. The sushi is great quality, fresh and they have a ton of variety and different options that aren't typically offered at other sushi places. They have pressed and torched sushi, and a good selection of specialty rolls and dessert (my favourite is the taro sago)! The service here is good and efficient. Most things are done through the iPad but the servers were always quick to come with food orders. I wouldn't say the servers go out of their way to take initiative but if you call them and ask for something, they're prompt and won't forget. Another plus is that you get everything you order, unlike other sushi joints that sometimes skimp on your quantities because they think you won't finish, or orders are lost. The decor and environment here is super nice too. I only have a few minor critiques, which are probably just one offs. Today they ran out of green tea ice cream which sucked because that's essential for AYCE sushi. I was also not a fan of the udon... I ordered the spicy seafood which was just the regular seafood udon with Sriracha sauce dolloped on top. But the pros of this place and my experience here definitely overweigh the cons. I would recommend this place for sure!! read more

I tried this place for the first time and I found that the fish didn't taste fresh, food was mediocre and slow service. The servers kept missing a lot of our orders and for the price I don't think it's worth the visit. read more

Came here for AYCE lunch on a whim and checked in on yelp to get a small Shirley temple mocktail, which was orange juice with some syrup at the bottom. Very spacious restaurant and quick service even on a holiday. There was iPad ordering and everything we ordered came without error, but the roles were pretty standard. The salmon put on roles/sushi was very thin. I really enjoyed the chicken wings, which were small, tasty and on a stick. I also liked the lychee yogurt and coffee pudding, which were in small cups like Matsuda, but have a creamier consistency. read more

Sushi Legend - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

One of the best AYCE places in toronto for sure. Their fish is fresh, they are always busy - yet service is quick, and the have a great menu selection. I usually stick to my favourite rolls and sashimi when I go to AYCE sushi, so what really sticks out to me is the quality of sashimi and their dessert menu. The have such a good selection of dessert I want to come here just for the taro sago . read more

Came here on a Sunday night and made reservations for 7:00pm. When we arrived the place was already at full capacity. We still had to wait about 10 minutes for our table. They provide you with a sheet of paper where the full AYCE menu is displayed. You simply just write the quantity you want beside each item. The service here is fast. Like really, really fast. No more than 3 minutes and the food started arriving and when the first item arrived it was like an assembly line after that. The food just came one after another, non-stop until our last items. In fact, they were so fast that I could barely keep up with taking pictures and shoving food in my mouth. Our table was so filled with food that we had to prioritize which items to eat first so we can clear off the dish from the table. I though it may have been a fluke that they were so fast but when we put our second order in it was the same deal. Hope they can keep up this great quality, speedy service. Quality of food was excellent too. Large and thick cuts of salmon sashimi. The scallop sashimi which is only available from Fri to Sun was also excellent. Small pieces but still a decent size for scallops. It tasted way better than the ones at Sumo Japanese Cuisine. Another item that caught my attention was the BBQ eel sushi. There were actual large chunks of BBQ eel. Dessert was also another great surprise - creme brule. The online menu needs updating because creme brule was not shown online and when I saw it on the menu at the restaurant it made me really excited. I tried one creme brule just to see how it tasted first but it was excellent so I ordered another two for myself. This place has all the popular items like scallops, tuna sushi, BBQ eel, beef sashimi and etc. The only thing I believe they are missing is shrimp sashimi and blow torch sushi. If they added these to the menu then this place will be unbeatable. The only shortcoming was the deep fried items like the shrimp tempura and veggie tempura's. There was so much oil left on the tempura that it looked wet. Overall though the food was above my expectations for an AYCE restaurant. In fact, I may be so bold to say that this is hands down the best Japanese AYCE restaurant in the area. $26.95 per person from Fri to Sun (Dinner) 4.5 stars because I really can't think of another Japanese AYCE restaurant that can beat this place. read more

[Service] It was a little difficult to get their attention when we first walked in but otherwise service was okay. They gave our party 10% off because it was my birthday, so make note of that! [Food] As some of you might know, AYCE restaurants are more about quantity and quality. I feel that Sushi Legend produces good teriyaki dishes, mediocre sushi, and great dessert. I will recommend that you order A FUCKING LOT on your first menu sheet because believe it or not, the first installment is always better in quality. I'm going to tell you why, our second installment was filled with sashimi that wasn't as fresh and even my dad could tell you the difference (and trust me, he sucks at this stuff). The dessert is quite good, so make sure you order the creme brulee. Otherwise I think the restaurant boasts the same quality as their first one, if not better. I know I reviewed KAKA previously but this place is cheaper and my parents would rather come back to Sushi legend than KAKA. read more

This AYCE sushi place is great! They have plenty of options, all easy to browse via their iPad system. It's easy to order and the servers are constantly walking around so it's easy to flag someone down if you need human assistance lol. All of the food is well prepared and yummy. There isn't much to complain about! read more

Went there for the third time with friends. I think this place has a lot of potential still... Meaning there is room for improvement. It really bothers me how the floor is not as clean as it can be, and the plates (both for eating and soy sauce) is occasionally dirty. The server seems pretty okay though, especially it was during busy hours. They don't seem to be too stressed out and such. The food is the same, typical all you can eat quality. No complaints there. Would I come back? Probably only if with my friend (he loves this place). For the driving distance, I would reconsider if I am going with another group. read more

Finally the grand opening (10% off special) is here after many months of waiting. Inside the restaurant is really spacious, much bigger than the Leslie/Finch location. Lots of waiting room if you have to wait for your table - but it wasn't packed when I got there. There are booths to the side and in the middle there are tables they can move around for smaller or bigger parties, and add more tables if needed. Interior has nice modern decor and pretty lighting fixtures. Food is mostly the same as the other location, with some new items (ie. general tao chicken - spicy, not loaded in flour as some of them usually are) on the menu. Bonus points for ayce drinks too. We only ordered a lot of sashimi, didn't really have any sushi as they are pretty filling for us. Service was decent, I was surprised with how fast the food came out since it was a grand opening (but then again they weren't a full house yet). Though, clearing the table of empty plates might take awhile. Oh, the tables themselves are pretty spacious as well. If this is your first time for dinner here, some recommendations: - Yuzu salmon sashimi - Beef tataki sashimi - Cheese wonton - Fried shrimp with mango sauce - Rock shrimp (same as above but with mayo) I will probably return to this location as it is closer to me than the other location. read more

This is one of the AYCE sushi places where you can order with an ipad. It makes everything so much more quicker and efficient because you don't need to bother flagging down a server or asking everyone at the table what they want to order. They also have speciality items that they don't have at other sushi places. One of my favourite things was their taro sago dessert! I know it's not sushi but it's rare to find it at restaurants let alone sushi places and its just so good!! The restaurant is also very big and has a lot of seating but it can get quite busy on weekends and evenings. Also there is a huge shared parking for the plaza but because of the supermarket and other restaurants around, it can be hard to find parking. Would definitely come back and recommend! read more

In my opinion this place offers one of the best sushi ayce in the scarborough neighbourhood. Fresh. Quick service. Presentation is not bad. I think the prices ar Sushi rolls mostly do comes in 6 A good number of choices. Ipad orders. They do not offer red tuna sashimi, or eel. You'd have to find that in sushi. They have all the original classic sushi you love . Lacks the crazy unique ones. But taste just as good and fresh! Drinks are not included Interior decor is very nice too! Comfy, spacey. The place does get really packed on weekends and dinners! Be prepared to wait. ! They do offer reservations so book it ahead. read more

This is a new location for Sushi legend, as they have several Chain stores. The standard for sushi legend has always been okay, and is not bad. This store was once again pretty decent, although not spectacular. I went to this location for a lunch during a weekday, and they are really a decent sushi place. The sushi is not the best for an AYCE, and the rice to fish portions are not amazing, in fact they could use a lot less rice, however their maki rolls are not bad and the fish quality is decent. The cooked food was definitely a lot better. the tempura was done well, the short ribs are pretty good, and the chicken was decent. the decor is spacious and beautiful and great for parties. The service was decent, and it is old school as it is still pen and paper for the most parts. i think overall the consensus is the restaurant is average, and is decent but not good or great. if you want to grab ayce sushi and in that area there aren't a lot to choose from. this is an okay choice, but if you are able to drive to other areas. there are definitely better options out there. read more

I usually go to the other branch at Leslie plaza, which is very close to home. This one is new and much more spacious and there are dollarama and bestco, so very convenient to go for grocery and small shopping afterward. Also, I like the decor esp. The lighting, and their service is much better. They don't cut my orders as much as the other branch. Like tonight, they missed several pieces in the first round, but I ordered the missing pieces the second round,they serviced every order I made. Husband is allergic to shrimp, shell, and crab. (Not deadly though) And I don't like deep fried stuff. So we have our "regular orders" everywhere we go: We both like Yuzu salmon, herb tuna, beef tataki, and sashimi with some sushi rice to go with (or we feel it's too oily/ heavy), so Salmon rose, spicy scallop sushi (just for me), and crazy dragon rolls are also musts. Then we randomly selected some pieces (not all) of enoki beef, curry pork skewers, short ribs, teriyaki salmon, chicken wings & hearts, flounder, shrimps(for me), and deserts. It's getting warmer and we constantly crave for sushi. I'll come back more often if they have torched sushi like some other ayce restaurants. read more

Limited selection of AYcE lunch menu. Quality of food deteriorated. Not recommended

So back in my university days, we frequented AYCE (all you can eat) sushi joints often. We would find a new place to try (thank goodness for student loans) and eat until we couldn't walk anymore. However, after growing up and realizing that these things cost money, I haven't been able to go out as much as I used to. But my boyfriend and I do occasionally enjoy going out binging and seeing how much we can polish off. Over the years, I've had quite a number of go-to AYCE. But it wasn't until about a year ago I stumbled across Sushi Legend. One of the pricier AYCE places, this joint is worth the money. Their beef tataki is amazing. The super thin cut slices of beef paired with the citrus ponzu sauce is beautiful. The delicacy of the beef adds to the wonderful experience of the dish. The only downside is that sometimes the meat and the plates are quite cold (straight out of the fridge/freezer) and the tataki doesn't taste as good when it's in a frozen state. They also offer salmon yuzu which uses the same ponzu sauce and it's just as delicious. The outside of the salmon has been quickly seared but the inside is still raw and tender. I do prefer the beef over the salmon because the sauce does become a bit overwhelming when you're expecting the freshness of the fish to come out. On Fridays and Weekends for dinner, they offer scallop sashimi. The pieces are cut inconsistent but the freshness makes up for that. The pieces of scallop are so subtle and they just melt in your mouth. They also have spicy scallop sushi but I find that the spicy mayo takes away from the natural flavours of the delicate scallop. Since this is a place that focuses on quantity (as do most AYCE joints), I've noticed that the rolls do get messy when you order a lot of them. The spider roll (soft shell crab) is much better when you order it when it's an off-peak time (such as during lunch because it's not included in their lunch AYCE menu and they'll deep-fry the crab as per order). One of the surprising dishes I enjoy is the grilled chicken hearts. They're not overly chewy but soft and tender. The sauce they marinate the hearts in is a sweet sauce that isn't too overpowering. However, if you don't enjoy the slight taste of iron, I wouldn't order the hearts. Some other stand out dishes include the rock shrimp, stir-fry beef diced with garlic, grilled squid, and beef teriyaki. Overall, this place is pretty good. It's a bit pricey ($24.95 for dinner Monday-Thursday, $26.95 for dinner on Friday, weekends & Holidays) but it's along the lines of most AYCE places these days. Sushi Legend is my new go-to place and as long as they keep having great food, I'll keep visiting. (I've tried both locations for Sushi Legend multiple times- food quality is about the same, between the two locations, I prefer the Leslie/Finch location over the Brimley/ Huntingwood one). read more

First of all, this plaza is a hassle. There was absolutely no parking, had to park at a nearby complex. Avoid going on the weekend, that's for sure. On top of the parking lot issue, it's usually a long wait so try and reserve ahead. The food overall was okay, didn't enjoy the quality of the sushi. I also thought the other items on the menu, such as the ribs, ride & noodle dishes were not great either. Overall the food was definitely a 2/5. The service was alright, but when it's busy don't expect to get much attention at all. Also the desserts were basic, nothing great. The only plus side to this place is there's free soft drink refills. read more

Sushi Legend is an affordable and great place for AYCE lunch. As I was seated down, l was given tea and two identical menus where I could write the number of how much I wanted beside the dish. All of their dishes tasted similar to any other AYCE sushi restaurant. Sushi Legend also has refillable drinks included to the menu. Their desserts were really good too, I really enjoyed their Mango Sago. Unfortunately, like every AYCE sushi restaurant, they forget to bring a few of our dishes. Although, it was a good thing they didn't because we were pretty full. Also, the tea tasted watered down. I really admired the interior and decor of Sushi Legend, especially the table we were sitting at. Also, service was pretty good and all of them were pretty nice. read more

+.5 for service Sushi Legend has been one of the AYCE places that I wanted to try ever since I knew about the Finch/Leslie opening. However, with the abundance of AYCE places that opened lately, it was put in the backburner until recently. I finally decided to try this restaurant after being in the area and craving some AYCE delicacies. The interior was quite nice, as it had that palace/mountainous feel thanks to the decorations. It's quite big as well, but also busy, which wasn't surprising considering this is the only AYCE place in quite a wide radius. There was a decent variety of sushi and sashimi, although sashimi is only available for dinner buffet. I always recommend for AYCE places to skip the sushi and stick with the sashimi, as you can down more food that way. They have two unique sashimi selections that are actually quite delicious: yuzu salmon and herb white tuna. Scallop sashimi is also available on weekends, though I found it to be nothing special. I wasn't a huge fan of their grilled foods. Most of the items there were either too tough or too dry, with the exception of the chicken wings which tasted okay. Service was good, and despite the large size of this place it wasn't hard to wave down someone to give the order sheet to. Overall Sushi Legend is a good place for its price point (under $30 per head), but there are better AYCE places out there with wider selections, especially for grilled items. read more

We saw there were 127 reviews with 3.5 stars so we decided to come for a visit. It was a huge disappointment. The salmon is not fresh, has been defrost too long. the rice is hard. Hand roll: Seaweed is hard as well. the selection is very limited. I would not recommend this restaurant at all. If you ever have opportunity, check out the KB between Mississauga Road and 401. It's much better quality of AYCE restaurant. read more

We really enjoyed our Mother's Day lunch here. We made reservations the day before and were sat just 10mins after we came in, considering there was a line up of people that were there. Their system was very organized. All our food came fast. My son who loves Japanese food said it was "the best dinner ever" ! We enjoyed the thick cut sashimis, torched salmon/shrimp, pressed sushi, tempuras and all the dessert! It was worth it! read more

Pretty standard AYCE but the quality is bit better than most. As a Yelp user, you get to check in for a free mocktail which I preferred over their soft drinks. It was pretty busy despite it being 8-10pm. It is definitely recommended to reserve a table even before going. They have a nice system where they send you a message and call letting you know when your table is available. The restaurant is pretty big, but since it is an open space, it gets pretty loud. The service was pretty on point since they had a lot of workers on the floor. The ood arrival was very quick as well. There are a few items that got missed but it is expected from a Japanese AYCE establishment. The price is on par with most Japanese AYCE but still pretty expensive- they do offer specialty items like imitation shark fin soup, scallop sashimi, pressed sushi and torched sushi. The grilled foods were better than most- not over marinated/salty. That being said, I wouldn't come here regularly because of the price. I recommend trying the coconut pudding! It is very smooth. read more

Went for lunch. Used Yelp check in and got a welcome mocktail. Food selections are normal, nothing outstanding and "all you can drink" must be order by telling the server. Service are slow. Many orders didn't show up and have to re-order after 30 mins of waiting. Lunch price was $18.95 + hst. Tips was not included in the bill. read more

I think the best thing about Sushi Legend is the fact that it's still relatively new. The bulb lights look like octopus arms or octopus egg sacs, dangling down from high ceilings into the relatively spacious room that features table seating in the centre flanked by booth tables. The modern decor and clean furniture makes it feel a bit fancier. The food: it's OK. I'd say it's standard AYCE expectations that have been met. There are a few premium, weekend dinner only items like scallop sashimi and beef tataki - the scallop's alright, not fishy or anything but doesn't taste particularly sweet. It's also sliced very thinly, so an order of four slices is actually only one scallop. The beef tataki looks better than it tastes, and is a crapshoot in terms of sizing: I just ordered a second round of beef tataki and each beef slice is the size of a stick of gum (smaller than our first round). The yuzu salmon is very thinly sliced salmon with a tiny squeeze of citrus. I can take it or leave it. Its alright, but not quite legendary. read more

Came here for lunch on a Thursday ($15.95 without tax/tip; Fri-Sat: $16.95) and there was ample seating! This place is your super standard AYCE restaurant, if anything slightly above average. The decor was modern and mesmerizing, ceilings high, and premises clean. Service: Easy to flag someone down, they didn't forget any food orders Food: They had a whole list of items that were dinner only (including the creme brulee, sashimi, some special rolls) and I do wish they had a bit more variety, but for the price point the I could deal with it. Teriyaki (salmon, chicken, beef) and tempura were really good and sushi was average (wish they had more special rolls for lunch). Pop was included in the price. Dessert was pretty good too! Selection larger than your basic ice cream and banana tempura but not as extensive as matsuda. YES to coffee pudding, mango yogurt, mango pudding, ice cream and banana tempura. NO to tiramisu and herbal essence jelly. You know how at some ayce restaurants you order something like sushi pizza and the portion ends up being HUGE so you have to share with someone and you think to yourself "how am I going to finish this!? I just wanted a bit of it." That won't happen here, so just order away! 3.5/5 read more

We came for the a la carte menu as oppose to the all you can eat. First thing I noticed is how massive this place is. It can probably seat up to hundreds of people. We placed our orders on the iPad (fancy) and got our orders shortly. I got the kalbi bento while my fiends ordered the sushi and sashimi combo. I thought my kalbi was really good but everything else was just average. You are not getting the best of quality here but hey, you get what you pay for. My bento box was $16 and it came with salad, soup, 2 pieces of soggy shrimp tempera and some Cali rolls. read more

I came here yesterday for Father's Day dinner with both my family and my future in-laws. I haven't been to AYCE Japanese for over a year, but when my dad said he wanted to suggest this place, I decided to give it a try. The space is actually very nice, it's large, spacious with a lot of comfortable seating space. Compared to the finch/leslie location, the atmosphere and the seating is definitely a lot better at this location. They recently just upgraded to the iPad system - my dad said last time he was eating here it was still pen and paper. Because it was Father's Day, it was already packed - we booked a 6pm table and when we arrived, it was promptly ready - group of 7. We sat down, and could begin ordering right away. Their sashimi is pretty good. quality is fresh, and there are a lot of options to choose from (though not as many as some of the other AYCE in the past - they don't have red tuna!). The scallop & beef tataki only available on the weekend so we took full advantage of it. If you love raw beef - try the tataki! Sushi - I tried both the spicy salmon and the spicy scallop, both of which are quite nice and tasty. The seaweed is still pretty fresh and not soggy when served, which tells me that the products are coming straight to us as soon as it's ready. Grilled - eggplant - must try, they did a good job grilling it. Tempura also was pretty freshly done - shrimp, zucchini, taro and sweet potato were all very good choices. Their grilled/stirfry shrimp was really good and the mango shrimp was delicious! Another thing must try is their short ribs - they were REALLY REALLY good. My brother enjoyed the salmon head lol - for those who like to eat that part! their beef with garlic was dry so don't order that lol. The ramen soup - my brother did not like his seafood ramen at all - said there was no taste. I ordered the beef ramen and i thought it was not too bad - it wasn't super salty and there was quite a bit of beef in it - however, i thought there wasn't enough noodles.. i barely got one full bite! Rolls - mango roll must order. (there are two mango rolls and both were pretty good) a lot of their dragon rolls are pretty good (ther'e sa crazy dragon roll, or any of the green dragon/ black dragon etc those are pretty good as well). volcano roll was just average - I dind't particularly like it. We wanted to try the soft shell crab roll but it never came. Our hand rolls took forever to come. we asked staff like 3 times, and once with the manager but still didn't get them. finally we decided to order through the ipad again and they did come and were quite fresh - salmon avocado, eel., calfornia and spicy salmon are all good choices. Drinks - they do include pop all you can drink, which is kind of nice since most places charge for the drinks. choices include ginger ale, sprite, coke, diet coke, nestea. They also serve tea by default as well. In general, our food actually came pretty fast, which was good esp on such a busy day like yesterday since it's Father's day - the waiting area was swamped with ppl. But it's easy to order since you just plug a bunch of orders on the ipad and then they usually come pretty soon. some items took a bit longer (grilled) but the sushi and sashimi came pretty quickly - ASIDE from the hand rolls.. which i finally did enjoy 1.5 hours into my eating lol. They did miss some of our orders, and some items they actually ran out temporarily as well, which I wasn't quite happy about - no mango or green tea ice-cream, only vanilla and red bean available. and can't remember one of the items on the grill menu was also temporarily out. Dessert - Their fried bananas are must try together with ice-cream. really good. red bean icecream was really good. I LOVE THEIR COFFEE PUDDING. it is like a shot of really good coffee/espresso taste - i had about 4 cups of them lol! the lychee pudding was not too bad, but the consistency was liquid since i don't thin kthey had enough time to set and probably because they were going through the desserts so fast. the yogurt with mango was also pretty good. the turtle grass jelly was amazing! i had about 2-3 of them (they all come in very small portions - almost like bite sized). mango pudding was too sweet - but for those who have a high tolerance for really sweet things that might be a good one for you to try. tiramisu don't try - it's not good lol. the creme brulee was meh - i only ate the top layer lol. they also have jello - my fiance and brother both liked them. All in all their food and the quality was pretty good. ordering is relatively easy with the new ipad system in place, but perhaps the first time you try this restaurant should not be on a special occasion day (e.g. mothers day fathers day etc). But do come on a regular weekend and it's pretty good. I will consider coming back again in the future, and hopefully next time I will be able to try everything I want on the menu without missing orders and certain items being available. read more

Couldn't tell you how many Sushi AYCE places I've tried out, but this one in particular has to rank among the better ones for sure. For those who have done all you can eat sushi before, it is nothing different here at Sushi Legend, not a bad thing by any means. You have your tablet in which you order whatever you want from from appetizers, sushi, rolls, desserts etc. The sushi here in my humble opinion isn't the best out there. In terms of taste, presentation and even selection to choose from, I would give it a 3.5/5. However, all the appetizers were delicious and came relatively quick. The beef ribs, beef rolls, chicken teriyaki, scallops, and chicken skewers were some of the best I've tried. Appetizers were 5/5 no doubt. Overall, I would say the positive reviews from the community are definitely justified. The servers were nice and friendly, the environment was chill, prices are standard for ayce, and food was really good too! A must try If you're in the neighbourhood. read more

A group of us were there for a birthday celebration on a Saturday evening and the place was packed. We were seated all the way in the back room where they seemed to have seated all the large group reservations. The restaurant was just as I expected, not comfortable but not so uncomfortable that it merited complaints. The noise level in the back room was exceptionally high due to all the large groups that were seated there. Bad planning on the restaurant's part. The food started rolling out almost as soon as we placed the order but in no particular order at all. The servers seemed to have no idea how to serve their food as they just tossed the plates on your table haphazardly and walked away. We were pretty sure that they had left a bunch of plates we didn't order on our table and eventually we started asking them to take them back as we didn't want to eat other people's food. Their ordering system is so chaotic that there is no way to ensure you're getting all the food you've ordered and I don't know how many times we had to reorder some items. To add insult to injury, their selection of fish is very limited and other "creative" items on the menu are just not good at all. I particularly disliked all the sashimi dishes that came plated atop some unidentifiable sweet sauce. It was just gross. The quality of the food here is laughable and combined with their lack of organized presentation is just not something I want to experience again at any cost. read more

My first experience using an iPad to order in Scarborough what a bonus! Lol I like this place. There's pressed sushi here that's lightly torched so that's something new for me in these parts! There's also a taro sago dessert that I haven't seen before either. Either I haven't been to enough ayce sushi spots to catch up on the new stuff or these items are reaaalllly special! Well ya got me Sushi Legend so you'll see me many more times! Tatami use to be my ayce spot in Scarborough but now...#sorryNotSorry this my go-to spot now! :p read more

Came for lunch with coworkers yesterday. I was on the fence with giving this place four or five stars. However, I think they deserved five on this occasion based on the value for food, cleanliness and service. Party of five. The food: First, let me start by saying that I eat sushi quite often, with my favourite spots being jabistro and gals sushi. My review is based on sushi legends lunch special. I chose the sashimi bento box (BB7 for $11.95). It came with sashimi (was supposed to come with 8pc, but they gave me 12 pc *heart eyes*), miso soup, salad, 3 pc California roll, 3 pc spicy salmon roll, 2 pc shrimp tempura, dessert and rice. The sashimi - 4 pc of surf clam, 4 pc salmon, 4 pc white tuna (butterfish?). All were the right temperature and good sizes. The salmon was not perfectly cut, but aside from that all the sashimi was fresh and had a nice flavour. They gave me extra pieces which was a nice bonus. Between this location and their Leslie location (which I have had AYCE a month ago), I felt this location had better sashimi. The rolls - California rolls are California rolls. I would never order them separately, but they were a nice addition. The spicy salmon rolls were better, and I wish it just came with 6 pcs of this instead of 3 Cali and 3 salmon. They came out as a good size, and I like that the don't use too much rice in their rolls. Shrimp tempura - My normally mild shrimp allergies have been acting up lately, so I had to give these to my coworker to eat. I didn't know I could substitute it for veggie tempura for free! Darn it, my fault for not asking first. Anyway, he loves shrimp tempura so this may be a bit biased. He gobbled it all up quickly and said they were hot, had the right crunch to them and was most happy that he could double dip in the tempura sauce. Miso soup - hot, came out quickly. I don't know how anyone can get this wrong Salad - I did not care for the dressing. It was a bit too thick for my liking. Maybe they can think about using a different dressing or giving a different side in place of this. The salad was the only "meh" item. Dessert - choice of vanilla, mango, red bean or green tea. I got the green tea, it was super creamy! The spoon went through it so easily, but it was still nice and cold. Nothing melted, and I'm a slower eater. No frost bite happening over here. 2 ppl got the beef teriyaki bento box (BB4 $10.50) , both admitted that the beef was cooked very nicely. Medium, juicy and tender. Another person who really wanted to get AYCE lunch, but couldn't because we didn't have the time got the maki set b (MCB $13.95). He also got a side order of salmon sushi (4 pc). He turned out to be really full and satisfied. Another person got a green dragon roll and a hand roll (unagi? Can't rmb which sashimi they chose). They really enjoyed their meal as well. The service: We arrived at noon and were seated quickly. The waitress asked us a la carte or ayce, after choosing a la carte, she updated the iPad menu for us. The only issue I had with this is that we were then sharing 1 menu when ordering a la carte. Which for lunch, kind of sucks when you're with four other ppl. The only other downside to this is that you have to flag the waitress down in case you need to make any minor substitutions. The reason why this wasn't a bigger deal is because once we got the server, she was able to switch 3pc California roll and 3pc spicy salmon roll to 6pc avocado cucumber roll for one person in our party. We were not charged extra for it which is another plus. They also promptly brought two big thermal zojiroshi pitchers with complementary green tea in them. I actually like this because I drink a lot of tea and don't like asking or waiting for refills. The temperature of the tea was just right. It wasn't scalding hot and I was able to drink it immediately after pouring it. The food came out really quickly. All of it came out correct and exceeded our expectations for lunch. The whole restaurant was clean! Everything about it was clean. Makes you confident that the owners care about the place and the people that come to it. Overall experience: We will be back for lunch. Not the best sushi/sashimi I've had, but the value is great for the quality they are serving. I hope this place keeps this type of quality up! read more

I have been here several times but the quality is not the same anymore. The basic thing like Wasabi, it's not even hot. It's so blend, what's the point of putting it on. The Sashimi has few variations only, not impressed. The Steak cubes are marinated with lots of baking soda so it's tender (Gross). This place is spacious and the price is reasonable. Since I have been to "Robo Sushi", there is no comparison. The price is a tiny bit higher but it's worth it. read more

For an AYCE sushi restaurant Sushi Legend is decent. Service was fast and friendly. Food was good, not the best. But what else would you expect from AYCE restaurant. One thing i like though is that they offer aburi (torched sushi), it somehow breaks the norm from your regular sushi place. Plus it taste great. Oh and that beef tataki is awesome, we just kept on ordering that all night. I was pretty surprised on how effecient and fast the service was even on a holiday dinner. The place was packed, but our food did not take long to arrive. Unlike other AYCE restaurants where they tend to forget or take forever with your order. They place is pretty big, clean and the decor pretty good. If your looking for a sushi restaurant where you can get your moneys worth, this the place to be, just dont expect 5 star quality. read more

3.5/5 overall Solid price for ayce sushi Atmosphere: 4/5 large table and comfortable chairs, plenty of seats, well-decorated, clean than other sushi places Service: 4/5 the service is nice and the food came pretty fast Food: 3/5 sashimi is not fresh, special rolls for dinner are good ( I do enjoy the first two items, one is Angel rolls). Shrimp tempuras are tasty. They always miss some of your orders, so keep ordering! Price: 26$ for weekdays dinner, same as tenichi, I prefer a la carte places since the final bills are same and they offer way better sashimi read more

Came here on Thursday for lunch (21.95 + tax) with a some co-workers. This place is grandiose (long tables, high ceilings, bulky light fixtures) and the service is speedy and friendly. Tried a few veg sushi rolls (kappa, avocado maki), rice was mushy and not well seasoned. I turned my attention to the grilled dishes: chicken skewer, beef rib, enoki beef roll, beef Negamaki, eggplant, etc. The grilled rolls were chewy and tough but other dishes pretty tasty. My colleagues liked their sushi and the veg udon was ok but contained just a few shreds of cabbage and carrot, so sad. The fried gyoza, tempura and deserts were standard and the coffee pudding was particularly yum. read more

Came here on a Friday night with my mom. And good thing we got there when we did. As we were seated and I turned around there were several groups of people waiting for tables. We ordered right away. I was impressed with how fast the food arrived at the table. I was happy with the decor of the place minus the tablecloth that they used for the tables. It didn't seem to suit a sushi restaurant. And compared to the Leslie and finch location...this one was quite load. I could hear other tables where they were speaking loudly in Cantonese. There were several big tables so I guess that didn't help. The food was good not much complaints there. The waitress that we had was tremendous. She was so polite. However the staff that brought out the food wasn't as great. One girl as she brought out the grilled eggplant dish threw it on the table and the soy sauce went everywhere. No apology or anything. The desserts same as the other location...was pretty good. They offered a 10% discount if you pay cash. read more

** Updated as of 14 July 2018 ** Definitely one of the better AYCE sushi places. It is a little pricier but overall its worth it. Highlights for me were the scallop sashimi, baked scallop and their torched salmon sushi. Everything here in general was pretty good. Food - 4/5: all the standard dishes such as sashimi, sushi, and specialty rolls were average, nothing special. Something to note is that a lot of their dishes, sushi and rolls are pretty small in size in comparison to other places. The salmon was also a bit lighter in colour than other sushi places, but in terms of taste it was pretty much the same. The sirloin steak cubes and spicy scallop sushi were particularly good. The sirloin steak cubes were tender and a bit sweet, and they hit the spot. The spicy scallop sushi was made with raw scallop, which you don't see often, and had a smokey and flavourful taste. On weekends there are also raw scallop sashimi and baked garlic scallop available (both are great and I had a bunch of both). Also, soft drinks are included in this place which is a plus. Service - 4/5: orders are made using an iPad and a waitress/waiter delivers them very quickly afterwards. This place undercuts sashimi orders quite frequently however, for example, we ordered 40 and they gave us 18, and then we tried 40 again and they gave us 15. Whatever, I guess you just keep on ordering more and the service is fast so it wasn't too big a hassle. Price - 3.5/5: We went here on a weekend and it was roughly $40 per person after tax but before tip. Kinda pricey compared to other AYCE sushi places but you get a lot more variety here so I guess it's worth it. I feel like I definitely got my money's worth Overall Sushi Legend is pretty good and definitely worth a try! read more
