Wakame sushi is such a great spot around the west end of Toronto. They serve fresh sushi and seafood with specials on their Oysters. I really enjoyed my experience here and would definitely come back. Everything we ordered was so delicious and service was amazing. I really wish I had a second stomach to enjoy more of their menu. Also, for dessert they even have soft serve ice cream! Absolutely a blessing after a big meal. In terms of ambiance, the interior is beautiful but the exterior could use some loving. Overall, I would definitely come here with family and friends and they even have a special on your birthday! Come check it out. read more

They're always running great promotions for both dine-in and takeout, which makes this spot even easier to keep coming back to. The restaraunt is beautifully renovated. The restaurant gets very busy during dinner service, but they still manage to keep both dine-in and Uber orders moving efficiently. There's a huge selection of sashimi, specialty rolls, hot foods, dim sum, and Chinese dishes, and everything tasted fresh. What really stood out to us was that the rolls actually felt creative instead of being the same few ingredients rearranged twenty different ways. Some of our favorites were the salmon, white tuna, and sweet shrimp sashimi. Even the surf clam and tamago were surprisingly good, since those can often be too chewy or overly sweet elsewhere. The blowtorched sushi was phenomenal, especially with the sauce they finish it with, which added flavor without overpowering the fish. We also loved the grilled octopus and eel, both of which paired perfectly with beer. They're currently offering a dine-in promotion where AYCE customers get a complimentary oyster, and honestly, the oysters alone are worth mentioning. They're huge, incredibly fresh, and sourced daily. We're still talking about how they were some of the best oysters we've had in a long time. Kevin, the owner, was wonderful and clearly cares a lot about both food quality and the overall dining experience. You can tell he's constantly thinking about how to make the restaurant even better. He's definitely someone worth supporting and we wish him continued success! read more

They have soups, skewers, tataki, nigri, sushi, sashimi, dimsum, fried items, and desserts. My favorites are the sashimi, shrimp skewers, sake mussel soup, Oreo McFlurry, and mango pomelo. Service can be a little slow when it's busy but that is all restaurants right? Ambiance is very cozy! read more

I dont have high hopes for ayce. I prefer quality or quantity these days. Stumbled upon this one and i was very impressed. I had no complaints abt all the dishes i ordered. For ayce offerings, i think they killed it! Also, they have not just ur average ice cream and creme brulee for dessert. Try the mango sago and egg tart! Make sure u order them early, they sell out quick! read more

Generous servings and friendly staff. Went there for my mother's birthday and she loved the sashimi! Cozy ambience with a cool tree in the corner. read more

Their dishes are actually delicious, unlike a lot of the quantity over quality all-you-can-eat places, the sushi, skewers and dim sum here are actually nicely prepared. Service is also pretty good, super friendly owner and waitresses. Clean interior, we came on a Sunday afternoon, it wasn't overly crowded or loud inside. Thought it's worth mentioning they have bubble tea here, don't forget to checkout their happy hour specials (everyday after 5pm)! read more

First experience at Wakame sushi and it did not disappoint! We tried out a bunch of their dishes including sushi/sashimi, rolls, grilled items, snow crab, cheese baked mussels, and sushi crispy rice pieces! They recently just opened a milk tea bar as well, so we grabbed some drinks! I was very impressed with how everything was presented. The sushi/sashimi was fresh and they were generous with their cuts. The rolls were packed and super flavourful. The snow crab and cheese baked mussels were a great addition and definitely unique to AYCE menus! Grilled items were super tasty and the sushi crispy rice were fun to eat. Service was attentive and the place is nicely decorated. Would definitely come again! 4.5/5! Great AYCE option! read more

Discover a variety of scrumptious options, including creative rolls, fresh sushi and sashimi, dim sum, grilled items, oysters, baked mussels and more! We visited on a Sunday and it was a bit busy but since the restaurant is spacious, finding a table wasn't a problem. We enjoyed the food very much. Everything was very fresh and tasty. Our favourites included sushi rolls, grilled squid, sashimi, grilled Kalbi, Mango Sago and the steamed buns with salted egg custard. We also tried the fresh oysters that's currently on special for $10 for 1/2 a dozen. Good food, friendly staff and ample parking spots. I recommend Wakame Sushi. read more

We came here on a weekend and ordered dinner menu as we're sashimi-lovers. Their menu has great variety of sashimi, tempura, teriyaki, Tataki, dim sum, noodles and fried rice. You can either choose a la carte or all you can eat (AYCE). We loved how fresh the sashimi and rolls were. And also the fact that they gave maki rolls without rice; my favorite! Red tuna sashimi, white tuna sashimi, salmon sashimi and squid sashimi were our favorite; they were so fresh they would melt. The staff are welcoming and the service is fast. There's ample parking spaces available in the plaza and in front of the restaurant. The restaurant has a family-friendly vibe! read more

This location is still surviving after covid. 5 of us and an infant were here on a Monday evening in November for a small, family celebration. We arrived at about 6.30pm and were able to select our own seating. The menu is on the self-order tablets most AYCE sushi places have nowadays. I like this style of sushi restaurant in that it offers Japanese and Thai dishes. The service time to deliver food was very quick, and the dishes were consistently cleared in a timely manner throughout our meal. One thing that didn't work for me was that you have to use the ordering system to request drink refills. I'm already having 2 simultaneous conversations and trying to eat, and the order pad isn't effortless to use. (At the end of the meal, we were automatically charged service add-on for more than 5 people, even though it was 5 plates charged for 5 people... I guess having an infant at the table makes us more than 5 people to serve.) So yes, I would appreciate not having to place an order for a drink refill. The food was decent value. The salmon sashimi was fresh. We ordered a number of rolls. The fillings were good, fresh and plentiful. It was the rice itself and the smoked salmon on one of the rolls that lost favour with me. I had a Thai red curry, one of my absolute favourite dishes. It was done well, the vegetables were super fresh and tender, not overcooked, and the shrimp were relatively huge. The deep fried dishes and dumplings weren't hot, but still ok. I was a little disappointed with the soup dumplings. I was really looking forward to the chocolate soft serve cone for dessert, but they were out, as were a couple other items on the menu. They still had regular chocolate ice cream, which, for some reason, always seems to be really good at Japanese AYCE restaurants. I tried the Oreo ice cream dessert. The crumble tasted legit but the vanilla ice cream was an artificial tasting concoction that was more like fake ice milk. Overall it's a decent place to go for a casual sit down meal. I've been before, I went again, and could easily find myself there in future. read more

We used to visit Wakame Sushi only occasionally, but today we stopped by to order some sushi and rolls to go -- and were pleasantly surprised by how much the place has changed. The interior looks absolutely lovely now: beautiful sakura decor, clean and well-maintained dining area, thoughtfully designed walls, and a cozy, welcoming atmosphere. It's clear that the restaurant has put care into both the food and the space. The food, as always, was fresh and delicious. But now, with the improved ambiance, it feels like a place you want to come back to -- not just for takeout, but to enjoy the experience. Very impressed and happy to see how Wakame Sushi has grown. We'll definitely be returning again soon! read more

Been here multiple times throughout the years. They have newly renovated which is nice. The service is quick and the food is good. We usually do the all you can eat, would recommend if you're going. Lots of different selections and the food is fresh! read more

Tried this spot for the first time and we were seriously impressed. The sashimi was super fresh, including actual red tuna which you don't usually find at all you can eat places anymore. They even had proper snow crab legs, not the cheap stuff. Everything was clean, fast, and tasted the way it's supposed to. The place looks good inside, the vibe was easygoing, and the servers were on point. Parking was smooth and the location was easy to get to. Definitely planning to come back and bring the rest of the family. This place deserves way better reviews than it's getting. Real quality here. read more

*PRE-COVID DINING EXPERIENCE OUTLINED BELOW* -[Pina Colada] $6.50 I mean, who doesn't love a good pina colada?! They make a pretty decent one if you ask me! ~ -[Wakame Roll] 6 pcs for $7.50 (when I originally ordered it 2 years ago LOL, currently listed at $8.50) ~THIS~ is the roll to get, if you ask me! It consists of deep fried roll that is filled with spicy tuna with additional spicy mayo drizzled all over it! Something about a deep fried roll really draws me in for some reason -[Volcano Roll] 8 pcs $8.50 This roll consisted of (according to the online menu) toasted scallop, crab with spicy sauce, on top of a fish roll! I remember this being good value for the price paid but it didn't leave a huge impression on me if I'm being completely honest [AYCE OR NOT DECISION STORY BELOW] Honestly, this place gives really good value for what you pay for! When I originally came here, my friend wanted the AYCE option but after I perused the menu, I discovered that the items I actually wanted weren't even on the AYCE menu. As such, we ended up persuading her into ordering a-la-carte! She ordered an absurd amount that was a lot but still didn't exceed the price of the AYCE option :') I am not kidding when I say she didn't even manage to finish what she ordered! [TAKEOUT EXPERIENCE BELOW] -[KYOTO BOX] $14.95 *2 pcs shrimp, 3 pcs crab meat, vegetable tempura *6 pcs california roll *choice of one of their many protein dishes like teriyaki chicken/beef/salmon, beef ribs, sesame chicken, or general tao chicken! I ate everything else before I became too full and managed to snap a picture of the tempura :') Honestly, this place is SO worth it! I would get food from here every week if I lived closer.

The food is acceptable and good, but not better than before pandemic. It is a regular sushi restaurant.

Every time I come to eat sushi wakame always been the place , peace full ambience , great vibes and always an amazing service

The sushi isn't bad but only if you get your actual order! I know I won't receive the best professional service in almost Asian restaurants but this was below average. I asked for spicy tuna and I just got tuna. I couldn't find my server, she never returned, especially when I said I would be ordering more. I asked another lady if this is how they served the spicy tuna? She said no it's not. So I ordered a spicy tuna and instead I got the original angry server. They said the only difference was the sauce. But that wasn't true. The differences: sea weed inside, rice outside, with green onion, tempura bits and sauce. They offered to bring my the sauce. I wasn't happy so I asked for my bill. Call me evil but I didn't tip. I didn't even take the fortune cookie. Un-fortune-atly, this dining experience was a thumbs down :/ read more

Visited here for lunch since I was in the area and I was optimistic to try this sushi place with mixed reviews. It was awful and absolutely disappointing. Ordered from the A La Carte menu - Chirashi, Spicy Salmon Maki, Mushroom Maki and Vegetable Udon in Soup. Chirashi was not fresh - the sashimi tasted like it was frozen and thawed to serve in other words it was not fresh. The Spicy Salmon Maki was meh, tasted strange and unlike any other I've had. Portion of the salmon is generous aside from that there was nothing impressive. My friend ordered the noodles and asked for no onions but was served with onions. The broth tasted weird too and lacked any flavour whatsoever. She asked for no wasabi and ginger with her Mushroom Maki and it came with both. Our server was not apologetic and we had to get a hold of her to inform her each time of the mistakes. Upon receiving the bill, we told our server the Spicy Salmon Maki tasted strange and wasn't fresh but her "reason" was there was nothing she could do about taste. The strange flavour could be due to the lack of freshness of the sashimi but how they store their sashimi. Who knows but if I get an upset stomach over this, I know where to point the blame to. I left upset and regretful that I wasted my time there. I would rate this 0/5 stars if I could. Don't come here for sushi unless you want to waste your money. Not sure what others are saying about this place! read more

Happened to be in the plaza here at Weston Road and Hwy 401 and realized it was getting on in the afternoon and had yet to eat lunch! Unacceptable! What was also unacceptable was that it appeared my only lunch options in this plaza were Timmy-Ho's and McDonalds. Not satisfied I drove around the back of the plaza and came upon Wakame Sushi - what luck. I'm typically a little reluctant to do sushi in strange plazas but I was hungry and knew sushi would be better for me than a Big Mac (resolutions remember). Walked in and the space is deceivingly large and very long. I would guess somewhere in the 75-125 seats. It was fairly empty with only a half dozen tables also grabbing a late lunch. The offer both AYCE lunch and dinner, as well as a la carte sushi. Normally I'm hands down an AYCE guy, but I'm tired of feeling like I have to eat everything rather than wanting to eat what I order, so I opted for a la carte and ordered the Sushi + Sashimi Tokyo combo and subbed out the standard salad and california roll (the worlds most pointless roll ever) for a seaweed salad and spicy tuna roll (at a out $2/substitution). Within seconds a sizable bowl of Miso soup and Seaweed salad were presented to me as well as green tea and water. Perfect. The miso soup was pretty much as you would expect but it did have quite a bit more green and tofu which I really enjoyed, and the seaweed salad was amazing - standard in taste but there was something much better about both the temperature (meaning not frozen) and the texture. Full points on each! Before I could finish my soup and salad my main was brought to me and my eyes lit up! Finally a place that gives you SASHIMI when you order SASHIMI (not sashimi...). Three 1"-1.5" thick slices each of Salmon, Surf clam, Red Tuna, white fish, and red snapper - I honestly haven't seen such thick cuts of fish in ages! As well even the sushi assortment (crab, salmon, red tuna, red snapper, etc) were perfectly formed and not skimpy on the fishy! They always say you can tell good sushi by the rice and the rice here was easily one of the best around I've had in awhile. Lastly the subbed in spicy tuna roll was done perfectly, separate and identifiable portions of both chopped red tuna and spicy tempura were present in six well sized pieces of maki roll, and the taste - so fresh, so crunchy and delicious! There isn't much more to say, that hasn't been said already, this is truly a hidden gem and if you're in the area tell McDicks to take a McHike and spend your dollar bills at Wakame!

Wakame Sushi - Sushi + Sashimi Tokyo combo - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I used this place for sit AYCE and did a simple take out as well. The place is very nice and has a lot of seating. Well we walked as a team of 5 to indulge in AYCE and it came up to around $100 after tips and taxes. The service was really and the menu had nice variety to it. Their fish tasted, looked and felt fresh! The pace of food coming out was good as well. On an other day I had a small take out order for Butterfish sashimi. This comes with 3 pieces but to my surprised these were very thick pieces and very fresh and tasty. This here is a decent restaurant with good service and fresh fish! read more

Oh Wakame... what happened?! you guys used to have such good quality. I notice once you guys expanded it went downhill. I had not gone to Wakame Suhsi for over a year or so (This used to be my go to Sushi join). I decides to take someone I know who is not a fan of sushi ( to convert them lol) and was so embarrassed that I did. The sushi was pretty much falling apart and not staying intact. There was hardly any fish on the sushi and maki rolls, and quality of the rice was not good. Lets not forget the servers are just plan rude lol Everyone who has dined here knows that ;) read more

Wakame Sushi - Deep fried Cali roll - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

Average AYCE sushi place with decent prices. The place isn't too busy so I've never had to wait for a table. The service is decent. They put too much rice for the nigiri I find and it's often pretty dry. The sashimi isn't cut evenly either, with a larger piece on one end. Tip: 10% off when paying by cash, but everyone at the table has to pay by cash for the discount. read more

First of all Do Not Take advantage of a holiday to put your prices up !!!! GREEDY!!! I went there for Valentines Day with my boyfriend looking forward to the all you can eat lunch for him and the lunch bento box for me. When we arrived there was a letter put up at the entrance saying "No lunch menu will be served, only dinner menu available to order" Therefore, they were charging dinner prices for lunch!!! And making patrons have to pay for it, because no one was going to turn around with their date and not eat. I felt this was extremely greedy on there end. On top of that my boyfriend paid in cash and he was expecting change back so that he could select how much to tip. Well the waitress took the money and never came back with the change! I will not be coming back to this place again, primarily because of there work ethics and how they decided to profit from there customers. But also because the "dinner" I choose was not at all as good as the lunch would of been and it was the same size..... Smh... read more

This was the worst sushi I've had. The sushi tasted like detergent, the ingredients were not fresh at all, and the service was awful. Waitresses are not welcoming at all, they just want to get you in and out (they're not even a busy place). I will not be coming here again and I do not recommend anyone coming here. The sushi tasted like detergent most likely due to poor hygiene conditions (not rinsing properly). Extremely overpriced for the quality of the food and service at this restaurant. read more

The food is good. Having said that, you don't always get what you order. The price is right. That being said, even though delivery is free over a certain total, that's only if their driver hasn't gone home early. This place has potential. Sadly, as it is unreliable, and there are plenty of tasty options in Toronto, it's time to just pass. read more

The fish is fresh and there are vegetation options for anyone who doesn't like fish. I'm not a raw fish fan so I do enjoy the beef and chicken teriyaki rolls. The chicken wings have a little too much tempura on them, I had to take some off to eat them. Overall I think it's a little pricey for what I eat, I mainly go for my fiancé who enjoys the raw fish options. read more

Wakame Sushi - Salmon sashimi, cucumber and avocado roll - Japanese Near Me - Toronto, Ontario

I'm from out of town and needed to run to Best Buy and saw this place. I thought it was pretty good. I wanted to order a la carte, but the server said that actually I would get a better deal for AYCE. While I didn't order anything above my original order, apparently I saved $3! The salmon sashimi was quite good and fresh and the green dragon roll had fresh avocado on top. The tempura is good but the onion rings are more fast food like. Be warned that the chocolate sundae has peanuts on top and I don't believe it says so on the menu. 4 stars, lost one star because the tablets that you order on should be wiped clean with alcohol between patrons. Also, the soy sauce seemed watered down, it's not like the kind I use at home (same type/brand). read more

OH BOY! Can you believe that the rudeness of the staff from this restaurant has motivated me to start a yelp account?! The one star rating is mainly directed towards the customer service provided by (drumroll please) May (the server) and Erica (the manager). I have been to this restaurant several times before and the food has always been alright but due to the staff I will not be returning again. I don't want this to seem too dramatic and I'll try to shorten the encounter as much as I can. Basically my boyfriend and I arrived at the restaurant around 9:30pm on a Monday night hoping to fulfill our late night craving for sushi. As soon as we got into the restaurant, we were told we can only order once before last call for the all you can eat option. I asked May what time the restaurant closed and she gave me a blank stare and said that the kitchen closes in 15mins which was not what I had asked her. I could tell she was starting to get rude with me. Finally asking her again, she told me the restaurant was open till 10:30. I don't understand how last call for AYCE sushi would be 45mins before the restaurant closes. Angered by this new policy, I had asked for the manager where May was felt reluctant to ask for her because she had been eating. Finally, Erica arrives on the scene and backs up the policy of only ordering once before the kitchen closes at 9:45. She mentioned how they don't care if we don't get enough food for the all you can eat option and reaffirms that we can only order once. At one point, halfway through my question she rudely cuts me off saying "Let me finish". She was unprofessional and non accommodating. It is definitely not worth coming to this restaurant. I also work in the service industry and have been taught that the moment a customer enters the restaurant it becomes an experience. I, alongside various other critics before me will agree that the customer service provided by the staff is definitely not worth the visit. read more

Food was good. The service was mediocre. On our second order they took like 15 minutes to put through the order and then the taste of the items started to lose flavor and look sloppy. But great price, very reasonable. Excellent food on the first order! I will definitely go back but in a while. Hopefully then the service will be excellent and the food will still taste as great as it did on every order. :) read more

I was not happy at the quality of their food. I mainly came here for sashimi fish. The salmon sashimi arrived to our table the slices look very dark like old and it has black spots on most of the pieces. My bf and I Left this place after 10minutes of food serves us , the salmon pieces has little black spots we were suspicious why it hard that on the pieces. We ask that waitress if that is normal she insist us nothing wrong and the other table ate it. We tried to eat afew piece and found more black spots on the fish pieces. we complaint again they said their nothing wrong with it again. No one took our concerns serious. I told them we will not eat it the salmon slice look sick and discolour with black small spots. Beware Please be careful if something look wrong don't eat it. I told the server the food doesnt look right it didnt even taste right. If it doesnt taste fresh dont eat it. The restaurant is dim which most people can be fool be the look of the dish. The manager said that we have to pay for one person meal price is about $30 tax include. I told her i should be paying I only ate a few surf clams. I feel if i dont post about my experience other people will regret going here too. 15minute later i feel uncomfortable stomach upset I end up puking the food. I was disappointed they ask us to order more after this experience I hope people read this review and take into consideration our health is important and these business should be shut down. They should be apologizing for serving people "low quality salmon sashimi" as the manager said .They still charge me one person meal when they should not. We ate a few piece of the other sashimi only which does not cost $30 I recommend people not to go here someone show send the food inspection.

LMAO, Don't ever come here. The staff are rude they talk behind your back in Mandarin, from the way you dress to the way you look. The food is pretty mediocre for the pricing. 23$ for Dinner, rip off.. When our waitress brought our bill it came with fortune cookies, we decided not to tip due to their lack of good service. When the waitress saw our receipt she was astonished and told her manager (who walked by) that we didn't tip and then proceeded to picking up the fortune cookies and walking away. Food was mediocre I've had better sushi from 12$ AYCE restaurants or T&T Supermarkets.. I do not advise coming here as you will be ripped off. AVOID THIS PLACE read more

I like Wakame sushi. I come here often for the All You Can Eat sushi which is around $27 for dinner. It's comparable to the prices of other All You Can Eat places. The quality of the food is great. I don't have any complaints about this place. The space is cool, the staff is nice, service is quick, and you can also order from the menu if you're not into All You Can Eat. Overall it's a great place for some quick sushi and drinks. The location isn't the greatest but it's convenient for me and if you're coming off the highway craving some sushi. Try the Salmon Sashimi and their Creme Brûlée for dessert. read more
