Epic Japanese (Asian?) AYCE place close to Highway 97. Parking is plentiful in the attached lot. The place is nice and large and modern. Nice high ceilings. Staff are a bit stretched out, but they did the best they could. The staff that served my buddy and me spoke Chinese instead of Japanese, but oh well. Good enough. The selection here is unusually large and beautiful, even by Vancouver standards. Special mention. There are many sashimi options (with no limit), and dozens of types of rolls and nigiri and cones. Then there are the cooked and BBQ items, as well as dim sum. See photos. They speak for themselves. Everything tasted fresh. Buddy and I were ready to explode by the time we left. Just thinking about the food I had that day makes me want to lie down. Highly recommended if one is in the area. read more

Not worth the price for low quality food. Tempura was battered like onion rings. Will never go back

Wow, wonderful food, great service, thanks so much for a memorable evening! My grand daughter was so surprise. We tried 73 dishes!

Seems like nothing has changed from the last time I was here. Food still as good as I remembered. Also if you let them know you write review, they will give free pop. Prices are cheaper than Vancouver for sure. No time limited on the dinner and best of all it is real unlimited. Food does come slow still but it doesn't matter because every time I come I am in no rush . No time limit. Food fresh and tasty. Service is good . read more

Food was great! I'm absolutely in love with the Cheese Wontons. I probably won't order the Deep Fried Milk again LOL, not my jam, not that it wasn't good. Service is quick, food is fresh and I dig ordering on an iPad. The Server explained how to order very thoroughly. The restaurant was clean, the music wasn't loud so it was great to be able to converse. We left full and happy! And how cute is the presentation?! read more

I would give them 0 stars If I could. Took my daughter here before her gymnastics competition and it was already pricy but when she was served a muscle with a dead crab that looked like a shriveled up tarantula underneath the muscle we were utterly disgusted and immediately lost our appetite. We sent back the food and asked for our bill and the manager literally argued with me when I asked for a reduced bill since we couldn't finished our food and both felt nauseous after the incident and the manager argued with me saying it's normal in muscles for that to happen so we didn't get a discount. I have been eating muscles for over 20 years and NEVER have I ate one and spit out a curled up tarantula looking crab. The only reason this place has high reviews is because they give you free stuff for a 5 star review (it says right on their table) this place is disgusting and I will be referring them to interior health because they absolutely need an inspection before they make some one seriously ill read more

While the concept was fun for a date night or family but the food quality was lacking. The pad Thai tasted like is was doused in ketchup. Good dessert selection and very friendly service. read more

As a consumer we always look at the value and quality of the products we purchase, in this case My review for this restaurant as follows: Restaurant decor: 4/5 Location: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 2/5 Value: 2/5 At $27.99 per person for adults, I do not think we are getting what we pay for, see photos of food items. The concept is good but the execution of the kitchen needs lots of improvement to make the price worth the visit! read more

The iPad ordering is nice, given I don't particularly enjoy speaking to people or pleasantries. Selection was vast, and had many options for appetizers, soups, entrees, and sushi. Food was delicious. Service was fast and sans unnecessary conversation. Lastly, the washrooms felt like a Venetian spa - very clean, vibrant, and decor was very modern. read more

Simple menu, with a variety of options. Basic sushi options. The appetizers were good. Service was friendly and efficient. My buddy came back from the bathroom disappointed. But otherwise it was a satisfying dinner. read more

Service was fast and great. The waiter always had a great demeanor. There is an all you can eat option with 150 items you can choose from. No time limit or restrictions (which is rare these days) Drinks are a separate charge, and they have some unlimited refillable drink options, like tea and pop. All the food came very well plated, and the taste was good. I could have eaten a lot more spicy salmon rolls, but I wanted to try a variety, which is always the best part of all you can eat. read more

At first glance, this restaurant appears to fit its $38/person buffet price tag. It is a beautiful restaurant with elegant design and decor and a great buffet a la carte menu, which you order using an iPad. Service is quick and although they missed 1 item we ordered, the speed of delivery was excellent. However, the lack of flavour was an extreme disappointment for the price tag. First, the shrimp and pork shu mai may look pretty but it is nothing but shrimp paste and pork paste with no spices or flavour whatsoever. The restaurant needs to dump it off the menu and stick to Japanese food. It was so awful, we didn't touch the dish after the first bite. The rest of the items were watery, mild, or flavourless. The only exceptional items of note was the super thinly cut peppery steak (max order 1/person, the pink lady sushi roll, the green dragon roll, the mango ice cream, and the tea. Overall, probably the worst flavour experience I've had in any sushi restaurant in my life and that is not said lightly as I've visited a lot of sushi restaurants in 30+ years all over the world. This restaurant needs to kick it up a notch in the flavour department, as you would find more flavour in a food court. Unfortunately I would not recommend. read more

Worst service ever. Our server guy seem like he doesn't want to work at all. He placed the dishes on the table so harshly every single time. We ordered mango juice and it took him 30 minutes. Other servers seem ok. Bad luck we got him for our table today. Foods were meh. Nothing special. Do not come here! read more

We went there on this Valentine's day without a reservation, and the wait was more than 30 minutes, which was understandable and expected. The food was ok. But the service was HORRIBLE. The waiter greeted us at the beginning, after that he totally disappeared, even when we were calling him, he ignored us several times. Another waitress refused us food 1 hour prior to the store closing and took the ordering tab from our table. They also mixed up our order several times. We were getting food which we never ordered, or ordered an hour back. There was one order which says 20 minutes prep time, but it came to our table 1 hours late. Another thing that threw us off was the portion size. Although the pictures were showing 4 pieces of something, but only 1/2 pieces were actually served, and the sizes are very small as well. So don't be deceived by the pictures, the reality is a different story. Although it was a buffet, but we left he place hungry, and frustrated. I do not recommend this place at all. Find something else, and save your time. read more

Bad service. The waitress was instructed by the manager to tell us not to order too much otherwise we had to pay extra in a very bad manner. We had a party of six and pretty much just ordered 2 pieces of 6 different kind of sushi when it is a all you can eat setting. We asked for manager and he said that the waitress is part time student and he hired her because of staff shortages. Bad and bad service. Poor Chinese food. Not authentic Japanese sushi as they do not use sushi rice and vinegar. Meat is not fresh at all. Bad trained cooks and waitress. Not worth the money. read more

Do not come here! Our party of 3 came from Vancouver to visit a friend. We got seated right away. We were given 2 iPad when the server found out that there is only one of us who will do the all-you-can eat. We didn't wait that long for the food to be served, which is a good thing. But the server was hovering around because they were strict with NO SHARING when it comes to the all you can eat items. The food were terrible. The siu mai is kinda raw. My husband did not eat the rest of it. Its like the once you buy at the grocery frozen. the server picked up the empty small plates without even saying 'excuse me' or "are you done?" There was another item that my husband ordered scallops and it was hard as a rock. This was highly recommended by our friend, but to us, it will never be. i will never come back to eat here. read more

Arriving after the dinner rush it looked a bit messy but still well appointed so we tried it. We won't again. Despite an efficient iPad menu ordering system only the 2 simplest items out of 5 ordered was satisfactory. A salmon sushi wasn't fresh, an attractive $8 mango salad from the menu arrived as nothing but a sliced mango with syrup, and a chicken teriyaki sushi never arrived even after asking 2 waiters over 50 minutes. The first shrugged off the delay and the second said it takes a while to cook. After admitting the salad was a mistake, rather than replace it, he asked ' so you don't want to pay for it? '. We gave up, cancelled the items, and left. French fries from MacDonalfs next door are highly recommended. read more

By far the worse experience at a restaurant ever. First time and the last time. Having our waiter 'Jack' throw an open container of food onto the table right in front of one of the guests at out table ... unacceptable behaviour. He is loud and very unprofessional. Don't expect to be able to order a beverage either unless you do it when you first get seated. Good food unfortunately doesn't make up for ignorant and unprofessional serve. read more

Great service and delicious Japanese food! the restaurant was beautiful and I loved how the food was ordered on an iPad with their own custom website read more

Still the best Japanese selection in town. Love ordering from the restaurant's iPad right from your table and brought to your table shortly after. (Order hot items first). Delicious and started going for supper as well. Hard to pass up this place. New staff seems friendlier. read more

It's a great Asian food but Buffet. My boyfriend is super over fulfilled. Highly recommended. By the way, my favourite day should the golden girls and seafood noodle soup. read more

We went at lunch on a Friday and there were only a few tables of people. Server was polite and the food came quickly, but the quality was poor. I was really disappointed. The rolls were mostly rice and the sashimi was thin and very small portions. You are left to wonder where the fish went! This place is best for people who want to try sushi, but not for those of us who love it. read more

I love it! Ordering is easy and the food arrives quickly. The selection is good and I've never had a bad order. They're also willing to give some suggestions if you're fairly new to the raw sushi menu. It is a bit noisy but any open concept kitchen/restaurant has that, it wasn't anything over the top. We probably just noticed it because it was SO busy. Normally we do the AYCE menu but tonight we ordered take out and the wait time was minimal (20 mins) and everything was prepared perfectly. The wonton soup is delicious! I had Maki Box A and my husband had Teriyaki Sushi Box - both excellent. read more

Came back a couple years later and the food is completely different. I ordered alaska rolls and it was like 99% rice and cucumber with the smallest slivers of salmon. The rice felt dry and old, the chicken rolls had dried out chewy chicken, the dynamite rolls was literally just cucumber. I get that it's all you can eat so you don't want everyone eating the expensive stuff. but damn man, for 30$ you could at least give me some fillings in my sushi. read more

Definitely not a place for vegetarians. The agedashi tofu was listed as vegetarian but came with fish flakes. The food was not as appetizing as the photos. The portions are tiny, for example, one order of inari was one cut in half. Some pluses: the avocado yam hand roll, mango roll and yam rolls were all tasty. read more

First of all, food was really sub par. My friend pulled a long hair from inside her sushi roll. The waitress was very rude. The washroom and specifically the hand dryer was absolutely disgusting! I asked for the bill, not having mentioned a word. The bill was given to me after the amount was punched into the machine and the machine slammed down in front of me with the waiter only then asking if I was going to pay by debit. He walked away. I paid by card but again, very rude! Never ever going back. read more

We came here on the last night of our trip. We ordered from an iPad and the servers brought us the food. Excellent during Covid. They had an excellent selection of Japanese items. They had traditional sushi and gourmet rolls as well. The pad Thai that came looked nothing like the picture but everything was delicious. The coconut shrimp was a pleasant surprise and the cotton candy ice cream was my favourite. There were flies at our table. It wasn't a big of a deal. They landed on the window behind for most of the stay. This is the only reason I'm not leaving 5 star. Highly recommended. read more

I just ate the best avo roll I've ever tasted! Amazing! Also, the Crispy California roll is incredible! iPad ordering is fun! Once we got the hang of it, it was easy! You should give this place a try! read more

Quality has suffered as of lately and prices seem to consistently go up regardless. Menu items that were once available are no longer present. I used to enjoy coming here. Little waiter had a friend in a booth and kept talking about how "f*cking r*tarded" Canada was. Maybe I missed the context. Whatever. In general the service has become unfriendly. Avoid. read more

The system with the Ipad- ordening didn't work too well. First order was not recieved. That we found out after waiting a long time. Next orders did came, but again after quite some waiting. The food was good though, but the dishes weer served in unlogical order. The desserts were a real disappointment. Not more then a shooterglass full of 'something'. The restaurant can be/become good, but therefore it needs more focus on logistics and a more natural friendly service. No need acting hyper-populair. And on the other hand, getting the dishes negligent shoven on your table (as it went) didn't feel welcoming as well. So, things to do for a sustainable succes. read more

I love this place! Favorite place to go for food in town. They have a large selection and you order right from your seat with an iPad. Staff is friendly and I really enjoy the sushi. read more

Absolutely atrocious service, and when I complained I was argued with and when I called back the next day to ask for a manager I was told they were too busy and hung up on. The servers went table to table clearing plates without sanitizing in between, no contact tracing was done, and the bathrooms smelled like urine. Will never be back or recommend to anyone, absolutely appalling. read more

Super great staff, price is very fair for the amount of food I've eaten with other at each visit.

We ordered à la carte. Most greasiest and tasteless fried sushies we ever had. The beef Terriaky was bloody and without the Terriaky taste.

This is a terrific place to eat if you want to fill up on yummy Asian dishes. Not for the easily full! I visited on a road trip to Banff and I'm glad I stopped by. read more

I love Coming here, the sushi and the complete menu is actually very good, people here buffet and think not good but this is all a la cart which is prepared fresh not in warming trays. Great value for quality and staff are very relaxed and great atmosphere and cozy music, 9/10. And get some entertainment from the a server named Jack I will keep returning for sure read more

If i could post a negative rating it would be - 5 star. So myself and a friend arrived for dinner. We're shown to our seats by Aaron. We were seated at a table for 4 at the end of the sushi bar across from the kitchen. All was well we were in our third round on the iPad. When my eye catches something almost like someone dropped something like a can a small tennis ball. To my surprise, I look to see a mouse or rat. I am no pro but I know a rodent when I see one. We did not make a scene spoke to Aaron told him what we saw he waived our bill and we left. Sadly, we are in from Brentwood, California we were told this place is unique clean decent food. Not taking advice from our concierge, or these reviews. The management just let everyone keep eating never said a thing. Foodies, or anyone that wants a clean environment, rodent free BEWARE!!!!! read more

Great food and the service was quick. The menu is quite extended with many options including desserts.

My friends and I visited once for her birthdate and we loved it! The portions,qualiity and service was great. The menu is vast from sushi, rolls, soups, salads, appetizers, drinks, cocktails , beer, sake and desserts. Totally recommend it. read more

The worst service in Kelowna. Do not recommend this place. Soup was cold. Tea was bad and cold. Sushi was the worst.
