    Party tray - Combo C
    Theresa B.

    Amazing sushi all the time! The rolls are amazing and the sashimi and sushi is best in town! It's hard to appreciate other sushi restaurants after eating at Sushi-ya! We order take out all the time! The entire family loves it! If sushi is not your thing, their main entrees are great too! My kids love their Chicken Katsu!

    I have gotten take out from here a few times now. I've had the black dragon roll, the blue ocean roll and some of the spicy Salmon rolls. I've enjoyed everything I've eaten here and want to try different types of rolls for next time. You do get a small discount if you pay cash so I try to do that always. I do find it a bit on the expensive side but I've found it to be the best sushi option on Milton so I will keep coming back.

    Amazing service! Amazing food! Saves me a trip to Toronto for quality sushi. Everything is made fresh to order and the quality is consistent the few times we've ordered in.

    100+ pieces of nigiri, maki rolls and sashimi
    Darryl C.

    One of our friends suggested this place for dinner so we came as a group of 4. A nice, quaint place in Milton, seating is limited, maybe less than 10 tables total and it was packed on a Wednesday night. We were really hungry so we ordered their largest combo for 4 which consisted of over 100 pieces of sashimi, nigiri sushi and maki rolls. All of the fish was fresh and the standouts for me were their salmon and red tuna. Safe to say that the 4 of us devoured the combo and we were quite satisfied. The service was good as our server assured that the combo was enough for the 4 of us and our drinks were continually refilled. Great little a la carte spot that we would return to for their other menu offerings.

    Sushi pizza - very tasty
    Rob R.

    One of the few sushi places in Milton and unfortunately it's nothing to write home about. We had the sushi pizza for an appetizer and it was quite good; delicious base of crispy rice with fish and other items piled in top. Our main course though, a sushi combo boat for two people, was very bleh. Some of the fish was alright, others tasted a little chewy and not quite fresh. There was even a sharp bone in one of my salmon pieces (which, although it's never happened to me before in a sushi restaurant, I'm not deducting any points for). Service is friendly and the restaurant itself is quite nice looking, a cozy place that might be good for a date. If it was all more reasonably priced this place might have wound up at 3 stars. Unfortunately I just can't justify eating here again for the prices they have unless I was super desperate for sushi.

    Go to spot for lunch/dinner whenever we are around Milton, usually after Halton Hills outlet shopping. Love that this small sushi joint has a quaint little patio adorned with flower baskets. Fresh fish and the rolls are huge. Chirashi presentation is lovely and decently priced at $24. Will definitely be back again :)

    Calamari roll, spicy salmon roll, caterpillar roll

    Who would've thought that there would actually be a good sushi place in Milton?! We've eaten here and gotten take out from here a few times. My husband and I like this place for a few reasons: It's a small but charming casual place decked out with details like Japanese artwork and umbrellas to name a few to have dinner. The food is good and tastes fresh. Good ones include the caterpillar roll (unagi/avocado), spider roll, philadelphia roll, deep fried calamari roll and sashimi (well my husband has tried this last one). The ratio of rice to sushi ingredients is good since they don't stinge on the ingredients. Prices are reasonable for the quality - about $7-$14 depending on how many pieces of sushi you order. The staff is nice when we've dined in. We've also done take out here and they are quick.

    There are so many things I love about Sushi-Ya Japan. ---- First: the food I ordered the sashimi dinner, green tea (and eventually a coke), and some green tea ice cream. The dinner came with miso soup & salad. I began with the soup, and i honestly am not a big fan on it. It must be the miso powder to water ratio. It was almost creamy & the flavor was overwhelming. It kinda made me afraid of how the rest of my meal would be, BUT i was quickly reassured. The salad was good. No tomatoes to pick out. =). I've found that a lot of restaurants have "watery" salads, but Sushi-Ya does not. And then came the boat. A BOAT! I didn't think my sashimi dinner would come out on a BOAT! .... wow .... I'm used to seeing those for sashimi for two or three or your table, but for me? only me? yes, only me. I was so pleased with the portions, too. It came with 18 pieces of fish. Good, thick, manageable, easily dip-able sashimi cuts. AND they threw in a few extras: shrimp, octopus, clam. I wish I had come hungrier... because I have sashimi leftovers in my hotel fridge right now. *tear* I'll probably dive back into it in an hour or so. Seriously, I am not a sushi lightweight... Ask my friends. lol. The sashimi was pretty fresh. Love it. When my ice cream came out, it was a double scoop! Again, ... wow ... And they also gave me some orange wedges. I didn't know it came w/ the meal... When my bill arrived, the waitresses gave me a "rewards card". A sushi rewards card... It's pretty cool. I guess I'll be a regular here now. You get 5% of purchase back everytime. =) Very cool. Never had one of these before for a sushi/japanese restaurant. ----- Second: the service The servers are so warm and attentive and friendly. Truly nice people. They know their customers, too! Most of the people who came in were greeted like old friends. They knew people by name & what they're usuals were. I love places that give you that feel. Maybe they'll remember me? ---- Three: the location/venue It's in the middle of downtown Milton just before you turn onto Main St. It's a little set-back from its neighboring buildings, but it just looked like a sweet building. They have outdoor seating. Not so ideal for the winter, but it must be nice in the summer. Also, there are several seating options inside: at the bar, tables for 2 - 6 people, and even private "rooms". I also liked the dishes, plates, tea cups. Good quality. Unfortunately, I think I heard someone drop a dish in the back. Oops! All-in-all... An excellent dinner.

    Chirashi Don
    Ali A.

    Ate here for a birthday dinner with my family. I ordered the chirashi don while my other family members ordered the unagi don, sashimi don, and a green dragon roll. The chirashi bowl was fresh, satisfying, and exciting! Every bite was filled with a different taste and texture. This bowl had sashimi, vegetables, and perfectly cooked rice. The restaurant was small and cute. It's a nice place for enjoying an intimate meal with your guests. Filled with japanese decor and managed by helpful people. Service was quick and you got nicely cut orange for dessert before you leave.

    18 piece boat
    Faan-Tone C.

    From the outside it is a little hard to find because it is a little tucked away. Visually this place is small (washroom is in the basement type small). But don't let the size fool you. The food itself was pretty good. I ordered the 18 piece boat and surprisingly 18 pieces came in a boat! Presentation wise it was pretty good and service was pretty quick. The fish seems fresh. I wouldn't mind coming back to try it again. Street parking is available or in the off hours maybe park it at the plaza across from it.

    Green dragon roll, red dragon roll, salmon avocado maki roll.

    The sushi is probably one of the best in Milton. Decided to try take out given the COVID situation, and they have upped their prices from their in store menu, in addition to the endless delivery and service charges which coincide with ordering delivery. 3 rolls of sushi came to approximately $60, and although it was good it was not worth the price

Unfortunately, our first experience was very disappointing all four members of my group will never return. We went as a group of 4 at 4 PM on a Wednesday, and since it was our first time, we expected the staff to explain how everything worked. Instead, we were simply told to scan the QR code. The ordering system was unnecessarily complicated: you have to scroll through the menu on your phone and verbally place your order, while also specifying how many people at the table want each item. For AYCE with 4 people, we found this confusing and frustrating. A tablet or paper ordering system would have been much more efficient. The QR menu also had virtually no descriptions. When we asked our server what certain meats were, she couldn't explain them and essentially told us to "just try it." That's not reasonable when you're paying for food you don't finish. We also had difficulty getting explanations about how to cook some of the meats. Communication with our server was extremely difficult; multiple times we asked questions and received a smile and "OK" without an actual answer. The meat itself was decent, but there wasn't much variety that we enjoyed. We found ourselves ordering the same few items repeatedly, and many of the meats tasted very similar. The sides and appetizers were much more disappointing. Everything seemed to be covered in sugar. Both variations of their fries we tried were covered in sugar and seemed undercooked, and even things as simple as bean sprouts tasted off. There simply weren't many sides we wanted, so we ended up eating mostly meat and rice. Which was disappointing for the cost. The grill changes were another major issue. During our 2-hour dining period, while we were still actively cooking, the server came over several times, lifted the grill with a tool, shook the food onto the new grill, and removed the old one. This happened around 4-5 times. Food that was still cooking was lost in the process, meaning we had to reorder and start cooking again. With such a strict time limit, this felt especially unnecessary. We were also told with 30 minutes remaining that if we wanted dessert, we had to order it immediately -- while we were still eating dinner and ordering more meat. I understand having a last call, but requiring us to decide on dessert while we were still actively eating felt excessive. The one-ice-cream-per-person limit also felt unnecessarily stingy for the price. We were also disappointed to find there was no sushi available despite seeing sushi listed online, and the QR menu we received appeared different from what we had seen beforehand. Overall, the experience felt overly complicated and restrictive. The meat was decent, but it wasn't enough to make up for the confusing ordering system, lack of menu descriptions, difficulty communicating with staff, limited sides, repeated grill changes, and strict time restrictions. I chose Gyubee specifically because of its high ratings and spent a lot of time deciding where to take my family. Unfortunately, we all left feeling disappointed. Maybe other locations are different, but based on this experience, I wouldn't return or recommend it.

Here's why: PROS: Location - off a main road, easy to find, parking is free Menu options - Good selection of items Taste & Presentation of food - Very good... food was tasty (with the exception of the Pad Thai in my opinion) and the seafood was fresh. Portions were good too. Service - Very attentive, quick and professional staff; conversation toward the end made them even better! Value - Price for all you can eat was very reasonable, worth it if you ask me! CONS: Ambiance - Floor was slippery (literally the entire floor surface, as though it had buildup of substance, it was odd.). Also the seating and general look of the place is quite old & outdated. IN SUMMARY: Overall ambiance is a factor in deciding on a restaurant, but is more important to me for a special occasion or on date night. When I dine out, taste, service and value are what mean the most to me. As for this restaurant, I would for sure go back! It's a great little local spot. As I upload the pics I'm also getting hungry again and that's always a good sign!!!

We went as a group of 7 with a reservation. For some reason, instead of seating a larger group at the stand alone (but combinable tables) at the front of the restaurant, they decided to sit us at a booth that holds six with the +1 in a chair in the pathway to the bathroom. Ordering food is done on 2 pieces of paper - one for sushi and one for all the other food. Unlike many other AYCE restaurants, there is no description of the food and there's no iPad to see a photo of what you might be ordering. It makes it very difficult to select, and the waiters are really not around to ask questions. They wanted all 7 of us to use the single paper. I explained to the waiter that I wasn't at a restaurant to do math and add up all the pieces and orders and go person by person. Could we possibly get a second set of papers so we could split the table into 2 groups? Yes, but with great difficulty. The food started to come. Overall, very fast from paper to food. So, where did they put the food? Right in front of me as one if the people sitting at the end. They would place plate after plate in front of me. Often with no explanation of what food it was. Apparently, it is the person at the end of the table's job to announce the food and identify the person(s) who it belongs to. So, with the number of dishes ordered, there was little opportunity for me to eat. There was also no place for me to place my food on the table in front of me. It was beyond frustrating. Along the way, they began forgetting to deliver food that was ordered and they began delivering food we did not order. I believe the restaurant should have placed us at the tables at the front of the restaurant. All large groups would benefit front this and all would be able to enjoy the food.
