Takeout sushi for 6. Got salmon avocado, spicy avocado, 2x green dragon, guelph, dynamite, fire house and w sushi handroll. Some were massive, making it very hard to shove in mouth, not much structural integrity either. All were ok, nothing to write home about. Oh, tiny amount of soy sauce and wasabi.. read more

If I could make a 0 star review I would. the employees called me the n word, and it took so long for my food to arrive, the food tasted so horrible read more

The Fire Dragon roll was hands down one of the best rolls I've ever had. The makis were fresh and delicious. Service was amazing and Uber clean. read more

Holy shit. This sushi place is probably the most upscale place I've been to. It's got tablets that you can order from, and it's quick. The quality of the sushi is SUPREME. I've been told never to come during lunch time, as I went during supper. Apparently the quality tanks during lunch time. It's super expensive as well, but it's so worth the price. 12/10 would go again read more

W Sushi - THEY HAVE TABLETS YOU ORDER FROM - Japanese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

Recently been in the past month and AYCE sushi and food still tastes great but the portions have been less. I ordered avocado salad and there was an adequate amount of avocado slices however only like 2 pieces of lettuce which was quite sad. I hope the service and food standards goes back to when it first opened read more

I got super excited when I learned there was torched sushi available in Guelph, but the excitement was short lived... Came here with 2 friends and we were not impressed. The worst items were probably the salmon tataki, wonton soup, ramen. Also the speciality rolls were terrible. The best items were the torched white fish sushi, bacon wrapped asparagus and cheese wontons. Service was decent. However I was super unhappy when we got charged for the rolls we didn't eat, even though we tried to explain it was because we didn't like them. It was also quite expensive, over $30 for dinner. I've never left a AYCE without feeling like I was going to burst but I just didn't feel happy eating it. read more

Excellent food, fast service and nice atmosphere! Location is close to the University and it was a perfect place to spoil our student in Sunday lunch read more

It used to be very decent for the price, almost entirely the same as Cherry Blossom. Now it's disgusting discount food - for the same price as the quality places in town. To put in perspective how cheap the new W is - they don't offer tuna in any of the sushi. Everything is over sauced, hastily thrown together, and full of never been fresh ingredients. $40 to barely eat anything, & feel nauseous for what we did force down. Never again. read more

Let's get this out of the way. The food is decent. Let's set that aside and explain why W Sushi totally sucks. My first order on the ipad went through fine. Ordered only about half the things I wanted. Things were going great and this is my first time there. I placed my second order of food and ice cream + desserts. The server with glasses came and even asked if I wanted the ice cream right away or at the end. I said yea at the end is even better. So me and my date waited and waited. We waited so long she went to the ladies room and came back with no food arriving. This is over 15 minutes past now.... The server wearing glasses brings me the bill! I was just stunned.....I told him NONE (0) of the food of the second and last order has come! So he says I will go check on it. He explains after that the computer had a error and the food will come. The female server wearing the kimono outfit brings me the debit machine to pay right after seeing the bill on my table! Remember I havent received any of my second order yet! Not ONE item. I was stunned...! So I paid and left a tip despite the horrible experience so far. I told the female server I was still waiting on my food! I wait and wait and OMG no food is coming out! I am steaming at this point. Trying to keep it civil and polite. Finally the glasses dude see's that he messed up big and gets some other server to give us some random ice cream. I eat it and leave. I will never ever ever come back to W again. Incompetent staff. Average to mediocre food. Sure this probably wont happen to you but it did to me and I want everyone to know how it could happen to you! AVOID---STAY AWAY--- 0 STARS WORST SUSHI IN GUELPH! read more

W Sushi - TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE AT W. READ MY REVIEW. DONT COME HERE! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! - Japanese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

I came here for dinner and it was about $25 for dinner (before tips and tax). I found it expensive that's why I try to avoid all you can eat sushi. However, I was visiting my friend in Guelph and we wanted sushi so we came here. The food here is good, the service was great and the food came fast. My only complaint is that the rolls were just a tinge too big for my liking and I think the shrimp was very small in the shrimp tempura. My two friends got miso soup and it was very salty (perhaps they just messed up that one night). However, they thoroughly enjoyed the Udon. I like the dessert choices they have. I got the deep fried milk which you don't see often at ayce sushi places. The green tea ice cream was good as well (some places have really bad green tea ice cream). read more

W Sushi - Steak with a lot of garlic! - Japanese Near Me - Guelph, Ontario

An unpleasant experience overall. The first red flag was how hot it was indoors. Second, the above room temperature sashimi, seaweed salad, and rolls. Third, a rogue hair on a piece of sashimi. The fried food was tasty. read more

So, I recently moved back to Guelph and decided to go to this restaurant with the sole purpose of reviewing it. For Guelph, this restaurant is great. Lunch menu: $16.99 Dinner menu: $25.99 10/02/2015 I think that's pretty basic if you compare with Toronto prices. The lunch menu is not as extensive as the dinner menu hence the price difference. We went on a Saturday at lunch time a few weeks ago. It wasn't too busy, atmosphere was great. Decor is modern. Not too noisy. I started with the mango salad and the avocado salad. Mango was tart and sweet, avocado was, well, avocado. They add some sort of sauce that makes everything a little bit acidic. Tasty. They were both good. The tempura was light and crispy not too oily and the shrimp was crunchy. We had the teriyaki chicken the short ribs and the deep fried chicken with sriracha. They were all well done and tasted good. My favorite was the chicken with sriracha dipping. We ordered, spicy salmon rolls, tempura rolls, etc. They were done nicely, tasted fresh and had no problems finishing them all. I think ppl that complain about the size of AYCE sushi don't realize there's a big difference when you order a la cart. The rolls were all normal size to me. Special request: I wanted the beef udon soup but they didn't have the spicy kind so I ask if they could make it spicy, they did. No problem. Dessert: I wish the variety was more for lunch but for $16.99 is not bad. Green tea ice cream was great, sesame balls were not overcooked. A la cart: I saw that they have 'frozen milk' for dessert but only at dinner time so I ordered some separately. It was delicious. Not many places sell this so it was a great surprise. Overall: we had a great experience and we will definitely come back. read more

W Sushi is by far my favourite sushi restaurant. The food is fantastic and the selection is great. Their tempura California rolls are to DIE for! My only complaint is that the staff more often than not seem like they don't want to be there. I will continue to eat here however I wish that the interactions with the staff will improve read more

Poor. All around disappointing. The soy sauce was watered down the point where there was no taste. The tea was hot water, the rolls were not tight and presented well, and rice inside was hot. A cold piece of fish on a ball of hot rice is less than appetizing to say the least. The tempura was dripping in grease and was cold. Atmosphere was loud and disorganized. For $22.99 per person, we were expecting a lot more. We do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone who has ever had GOOD sushi. read more

The food itself is fairly decent and delivery time to table is pretty solid. Where this place suffers is in customer service. It almost feels like the staff are begrudgingly serving you more than one round of portions. They were also hellbent on trying to take the iPad away to stop me from ordering more which led to some awkward interactions. read more

When this place first opened, it was fantastic. Sushi was of decent size, sashimi was plentiful, they had lots of really cool new rolls, etc. As a previous student at the U of G, I have many great memories at this place - post-exam dinners, birthdays, post-hangover...anyway, you get it! As students, we loved this place and we felt that the price was reasonable and you got great value for what you paid for. I've since graduated from Guelph and a group of my friends from school & I decided to use Guelph as a central meeting place for a mini-reunion and we decided to take a blast from the past and go to W-sushi for lunch. My...have things changed. We arrived at around 2 pm ish for lunch. They now have a "lunch" menu, in which you can't order certain rolls until dinner time. They never used to have that. Sashimi is still reserved for dinner, which is not uncommon for all you can eat places. What bothers me is that they've taken skimping to a whole new level and I'm pretty sure it's not that my standards have changed (now that I'm working and a bit less poor than a student). They've definitely diluted the soy-sauce. No soy sauce is that light. When I poured it, it was LIGHT BROWN. The soy sauce also really lacked any flavour at all. Their nigiri's now consist of a paper thin slice of fish with a HUGE chunk of rice so that they can fill you up. After one round of nigiri's, we decided this was ridiculous and didn't order more. My friend ordered a hand roll and it looked like it was packed down with rice too. Their Japanese fried rice (aka, we call it crack fried rice) is still just as delicious and addictive. All in all, their cooked foods haven't changed but their dishes are now a lot smaller and thus, you have to order more frequently. At 3 ish (close to 4 pm), we were told that we could only have 1 more round of orders (we only had 1 order made previously) because they were "closing down" to set up for dinner. We therefore ordered everything BUT nigiri and hand rolls. Overall, I was quite disappointed that this place has become so cheap and has decided to skimp out so much. I used to come here over all the other all-you can eat places because they didn't skimp. Because of the Toronto power outage, I migrated to Guelph during Christmas and went to Hockey Sushi - WAY better bang for your buck. So all you students, go there instead because they definitely give you less rice and more goods :). Unless...you like to die from a rice coma...that's fine by me. read more

Staying in town for work, I decided to check out the Guelph Yelp scene, not expecting much. W Sushi was one of the first favorable places to show up, and having not had sushi in a while, I gave it a try. As previously mentioned, the restaurant interior is well designed and good-looking; we showed up around 9 and the place was fairly empty (Last call is at 9:30). This just meant that we had three different waiters/waitresses taking our orders, so yes, there was a bit of repetition, but not a big deal. I can't remember the names of the rolls I had, but they were great. The miso soup is standard, maybe lacking on the tofu side. I finished off with the chicken teriyaki udon, which was probably my favorite. There is so much on this menu for an All You Can Order restaurant; every time I ordered something, the waitress would leave and I'd see something else that I wanted! Looking forward to going back on my next trip to Guelph! read more

AMAZING! Sushi was superb and the service was lightning fast! Price was on par with what you would from a high quality sushi all you can eat restaurant. Staff was friendly and not overly pushy. Staff was observant and thinking ahead which made the experience more enjoyable. Ate so much I left feeling like a walrus. Would definitely be back and would suggest for anyone looking for fast delectable sushi to check this place out! Marvellous work y'all! read more

This place I believe has reopened with the same name but with new management! I have been to many sushi places across Ontario and this is one of my recommended here in Guelph. The service has been amazing the last few times I've been there, the food is incredibly fast, fresh, and delicious. The sashimi was amazing. The portions are perfect. The ordering from the iPad is efficient and have plenty of variety. Pricing is very average (find most options in Guelph are fairly expensive). ONLY downside is they do not have Green Tea Ice Cream...which is honestly a huge thing for me when I go out to sushi! Hopefully they will have that as an option in the future. read more

Guelph has a surprisingly decent amount of asian restaurants and grocery stories despite the actual asian community here is pretty small. Though I do not complain since I often find myself having cravings when I'm back home. Recommend going for lunch if you do AYCE since the price is much better and the menu for the large part is very similar (there are a few pricer items offered during dinner only). This is my personal fav for AYCE in Guelph since it is very clean, nicely laid out and offers good food for the price. The fish is usually good, though obviously don't expect high-quality sashmi at this price point. Service is usually very good, never had a really bad experience. Once in a while they forget an order if its really busy but that's not shocking. read more

Not a bad place. And the food is ok. My greatest gripe is the service. Often times the miss parts of the order on purpose. The also really want to push you out the door. I get it, that's business, turning over tables. But the place was dead anyways. Probably won't go here again. Ben here 3x now. read more

I think when reviewing sushi places, especially in Guelph, is that you need to realize this isn't high quality sushi. That should be an expectation when walking into sushi places around the area. That doesn't mean it isn't good though. W Sushi is as good as the Sushi scene gets in Guelph. It certainly is a far cry from "world's best", but for a little city in the middle of Southern Ontario where Sushi certainly isn't expected to be phenomenal, it's pretty darn good. I went for the lunch special all you can eat special today, and there is such a good selection compared to other places. Ordering the likes of; . California Roll. . Spicy Salmon Roll . Shrimp Tempura . Shrimp Tempura Roll . Dynamite Roll . Sushi Pizza. . Seaweed Salad All were up to par for what I expected. The staff were very friendly and often checked in to see how we were doing. The only complain I had was that a few of the things we ordered never made it to our table. This wasn't a huge deal because it is all you can eat, you can reorder, and there is always food on the table, but some organization would be a little more important. Other than that, it was delicious. The free ice cream is always such a good touch, and there is such a wide variety. If you want sushi in Guelph, simply come here. I have been coming for years, and have never been disappointed. I recommend it to anyone who isn't expecting fresh out of the ocean fish! read more

Two stars at best, but one is justified. The sushi here is just ok, but the cost is pretty outrageous. 29.99 per person for AYCE dinner is way too much given the quality you get here. Service wasn't very good. In addition, W Sushi charges extra for green tea? Couldn't believe it when I got my bill. Tea is not a specialty drink at a sushi restaurant, every other place includes it with the meal. Over priced cost for below average sushi. Prepare to be gouged. read more

Great sushi Great all you can eat Sushi restaurant. A lot of variety like sushi and rice dishes, chicken teriyaki etc... Not top notch sushi but that's what you get for an all you can eat place. It's clean and service is good. For Guelph it's a great spot, there are other places in Guelph but this one is better then average for all you can eat. read more

A bunch of us had a blast chatting in the wonderful atmosphere they provided. Since there was 8 of us, we succeeded in ordering every item on the menu. Some more then once. Which seemed to irritate them since we payed only a couple tens each for more then 100 dishes. The food was delicious and simply good. And I won't go further then that since some things were plain like the mussels and masago sushi, from the top of my head. But at the same time there were exploding tastes in my mouth with some of the regular known sushi, soups, and meat dishes. The waitress was a little slow taking our order down since we had rather large orders. They took as long as I expected to make which is good. And since we ordered again when we go our first dishes, it felt like food just kept coming. To conclude my review I wouldn't mind visiting again for the amount we ate at that price. But I know other sushi places I'd rather return to first. Thanks for reading, it's Gabryś read more

very good. the mango avocado is by far the best imo, and the miso soup is pretty good.

I find they are very chincy with the servings, I left there still hungry, and had the hardest time understanding the staff. The missed a few of my orders. The food was good though. Steven read more

Over the years, my family and I have gone back and again to W Sushi, it is our favourite place in the region (and we are big sushi fans who have tried many sushi places in KW, Guelph and Cambridge). Try ordering directly from the menu instead of the buffet, the buffet is good, but the menu items ordered directly are MUCH better and bigger. For those that think the quality is not that fantastic, try the regular menu instead of the all you can eat, you'll be pleasantly surprised. Granted, it is hard to call it the best sushi in the world, I've had my share in other countries and some are really great, and could not qualify if in Japan (or Korea or China, where sushi rest owners in Canada tend to be from) is any better, I would assume true Japanese sushi must be miles ahead, but living in Guelph and being a bit of a foodie, I think it is most likely the best in the region. Service is also always great. read more

Based on reviews I had read I was honestly a little worried about what the experience would be here, it seemed like it could be hit or miss. But to be honest I had a good experience. I found that the fish seemed quite fresh and the rolls were good. Although, There was one or two items that we ordered that didn't show up. Service was fast which was great. Though coming here keep in mind it's guelph and Guelph sushi is very average, not great. read more

Food was good Always have to ask for water Fairly clean iPads are a nice touch but don't know if it makes anything faster read more

It's a pleasant impression upon walking through the door to the university's local sushi hangout. The smell is fresh and airy without a single fishy odour to send you running for your intestine's life. Service is quick and polite, though it was early enough that they were hardly stressed. The good: -Selection, it's a well-sized menu -Shrimp tempura, it was light and not greasy -The beef and salmon tataki were delicious -The fish is fresh, cold, and firm. -The salmon and scallop sashimi were particularly excellent. -The ice cream was creamy and delicious with zero flakes of ice The bad: -You're limited to single servings of beef and salmon tataki -The squid "tempura" is just poorly-cooked calamari rings -The squid tendrils were flavored like a spicy calamari and more tender, but far too greasy to eat. -The salmon roe nigiri was skimpy the first time. On the second order you could see half the rice underneath. Hugely disappointing. -Shrimp egg rolls look like they're from M&M's. -The sesame chicken is breaded with a sweet sauce. No sign of sesame seeds. Or flavor. -The spicy beef is thinly sliced, tough, and flavourless other than a blandly spicy sauce. -Say no to the mussels. They're absolutely awful. -The mango pudding is aromatic, but a but off in flavor and the texture is too gelatinus. I realize the "bad"s look long, but I really do recommend the place. Just stick to the fish and ice cream and you'll be pleased you came. read more

Where is the 0 star rating? Cmon yelp add it so that W sushi can be the first to get 0 stars. What a terrible sushi resto. The worst service I have ever had for AYCE. Food was mediocre. Staff were so rude. I will never come back and as a resident of Guelph, I will make sure no one I know is going to eat here. Shame on you. Go to any other sushi place in Guelph, just avoid W! 0 stars. I hope you go out of business soon! read more

The food was declious and well presented. My only complaint is that the waitresses really didn't want to give us the "all you can eat" she asked 6 times if we were done and tried to sneak the menu away. Food was great though would recommend. read more

Overall a good experience. The service is fast and easy to order. They give you a tablet with a built in menu, you order what you want, the server confirms it, and brings you your order within a few minutes (all-you-can-eat). There looks like there were 4 or 5 sushi chefs preparing the food so that probably why service is quick. The menu is also really impressive. Besides the many variety of sushi rolls, they also make assortment of soups, seafood and veggie dishes. Try the deep fried squid, it was my favorite. I would say the atmosphere there is really nice, and it's perfect for groups, and the menu is also friendly to folks who aren't entirely fans of sushi. But if you are a sushi lover, this is probably the best place in Guelph to get sushi. Price is fair. read more

This is some of the best sushi in the area! Everything is so fresh and tastes amazing. If you're in the mood for sushi you absolutely can NOT go wrong here. Never had a single bad experience and I've been eating there almost once a week for the past few years. Great service, great food, 5 stars!! Enjoy! read more

Great AYCE sushi... orders come fairly quickly and tastes very fresh.

It was amazing food and a good venue for a lazy night out and a nice dinner with the family. Four friends and i went out and we ate until they literally asked us to leave... not once but 6 times. Near the end they tried to be sly taking away the ipad so we couldnt order anymore. I asked for the ipad back and the waitress said - verbatum - "you want MOOOOOORE?" So legendary. Would go again - but let us eat hahah! read more

I hate eaten at this place many times, but I'll never go again after this experience. I ordered a normal list of items for all you can eat sushi: a few rolls and a seaweed salad. The (male) server decided to tell me that it was too much food, and after an argument he left my table to punch my order in. About a third of my order arrived: a seaweed salad, and a maki roll. I left hungry from an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The owners were unsympathetic. I'm a fitness professional and they have no business fat-shaming me for feeding myself during my work day. They don't care about their customers. read more

Thank goodness this place closed down, their staff was the rudest I have encountered and they did seem to care about making the customers experience enjoyable at all. I was a loyal W sushi customer in the beginning when they first opened and then they hired staff who did not enjoy their job and rushed customers to leave, and I also believe overcharged a couple of times. read more

I come here all the time. It's one of my main go to's for sushi in Guelph. Offers your typical selection for sushi, and had a good mix of more traditional and special rolls. Service is quick and the food hasn't disappointed me! It's quite tasty. read more
