Aji Sai Japanese Restaurant

Not too impressed. The service was slow during lunch hour where most people would be rushing. The servers were really nice but not too attentive. They didnt have spider roll that was on the menu which was a huge dissapointment. Was not the best visit.

Lunch menu is advertised outside as all you can eat $ 12.99.
We sat down at 3:30pm. Although the service was ok we were served the dinner menu without being told so and when this was brought to the attention of the waitress at the end of the meal, she informed us that last call was at 2:30pm… Not sure how we’re supposed to guess. We offered her a chance to correct the situation and get the manager but she preferred to refer us to the fine print on the menu.

bad service, the waitresses were rude and ignored us. the food was decent although the sushi did seem a bit unfresh and warm (sushi is typically cold).

I came here to eat on a Saturday night and ordered the AYCE. Ordered the spicy sushi roll and it did NOT look fresh. The rice broke apart and salmon was unappealing. Later ordered some dimsum. And it looked as if was microwaved. I decided to give them the 3 star for their attentive service and willingness to move to a warm table since their original spot by the door was freezing.

2.5 stars. I’ve been to many AYCE sushi places and this one is slightly below average. Their menu selection was nothing special. You will find all your standard stuff. They did a few dishes well, and a few were edible but not good. Notable fails were the kalbi, seafood udon, and stir fried squid. On the other hand, their rock shrimp and rolls were decent. The chicken skewer was good too.
Service is not note-​worthy as you can expect from any Chinese owned place.
Price is reasonable. There are better places but I won’t mind coming here again if I’m in the area and want to stuff myself.

I’m going to start off by saying I might be going a bit harsh with only a 3 star review.
I’ve dined at my fair share of AYCE (All You Can Eat… for the uninitiated) sushi restaurants and this location doesn’t stand out for me as either above or below average. Everything was good but not great. Nothing was disappointing but nothing surprised me with it’s quality.
A friend and I showed up here on a Saturday night to an empty restaurant. It seemed like more people came here to pick up rather than sit down. The ambience of the dining space was definitely lacking with some poor lighting and a lack of décor (at least at the front of the restaurant where we sat). Our orders came out relatively quickly and as far as I could tell we got everything we ordered, no more and no less (some other sushi places often mess up the large AYCE orders). Maybe this was just because it was a slow night, but I’d like to think they just have good staff. The rolls and sushi were what you would expect from any AYCE sushi place. They were tasty but unimpressive. I was a LITTLE sad about the quality of the salmon sashimi we ordered. Again, it wasn’t bad, but it just seemed a bit less fresh than other restaurants I’ve eaten at. The price was alright for the wide selection they offered, maybe a touch less expensive than I’ve seen elsewhere (~$ 50 for the two of us together).
I wouldn’t say it’s the best AYCE sushi in Toronto, not really even that close, but it is a fine place to catch a meal with some friends if you’re in the area and pining for some tasty Japanese fare!

I am a regular to this location!!! I have to say I love this place… fast service & the food is mouth-​watering out of this world. AYCE lunch is $ 15 (new price increase) & dinner is $ 20 (new price increase). Must try the Rocking shrimp…

I’m vegetarian and I went there with my friend, I like Wakame salad so much Tufu steak also good but mango salad is very awful for me. Miso soup also good too and their service is good, I like all of them just one girl who has a moody face and angry with us. My friend ordered kimchi beef fried after she ate 1 bite, she returned it back. She said it’s not delicious. I didn’t eat much because I was full easily. I went there Saturday afternoon the price is 16.97 $

I used to love coming here but the last visit changed my experience forever. I arrived at 945pm as Aji Sai closes at 1030. As I arrived I was told the last call for food is 10pm and greeted with an apathetic attitude. I was then asked if I would be finished by 1030 because the boss wasn’t here and the staff wanted to leave. They then asked me if they could just «double» the kitchen food order well my girlfriend was still looking at the menu. Never been to a restaurant that asks you to leave at the time it closes just horrible.

Just north of Bloor St on Yonge is Aji Sai. After seeing some of the Unilocal reviews it was necessary to pay a visit.
The place is quite spacious though it may appear small. Our server was helpful and was able to provide me some feedback on what to order on their AYCE menu.
The every dish that came out was beautifully presented. Among notables I admired their green Dragon, salmon avocado hand roll, and cowboy roll.
Their prices listed; lunch is $ 13.99 and dinner is $ 19.99 is quite reasonable for the area.
I’ve been to a few displaces around downtown, this place is good and they’ve got a good selection.
Seating can be quite squished as some of the tables are so close to one another.
Quite a surprise though it’s just north of buddy Bloor and Yonge, it was somehow quiet lol… which is a plus!
Parking is nearby for those driving and for those taking public transportation, the subway is a skip away.
Good place, I shall revisit if I’m in the area craving sushi.

This place is perfect for something quick, easy and yummy. My only problem is I feel seating isn’t that great, but they are doing their best with the building’s size. I often get annoyed with people around me because you can hear the person’s convo beside me clear as day and it’s very distracting. I feel like if you were going here for business or a first time date, I would pass because of that. For casual dining, hanging out with friends or going alone? Absolutely though!
Their selection is pretty decent, I’ve never received late or cold food and I’ve always enjoyed what I ordered. I’ve heard some people complain about how distant or «rude» the wait staff might be, but you can tell that they are busy and want to keep the work flow happening. They are thinking about what food goes to what person at what table. I’ve been there on slow days and busy days, they are always on the move! I wouldn’t let that bother you tbh. Would you rather they were chatting it up at another table while you waited for them to finish just so you could order? Probably not: P
I personally like it here, although on busy days it may be a tiny bit of a wait or overwhelming (noise wise). Their bento boxes are well priced and I love going there for all you can eat.

I went there for lunch with a friend. They sat us at a table, and I noticed a dead fly on my plate. As the waiter sat us, he noticed it also. He took the plate, and the tried to throw the dead fly on the floor without us noticing. He didn’t replace the plate. I told him that I saw the dead fly, but he said that our server will get us another plate.
We obviously left the restaurant. Poor service means poor quality food. DON’T EAT HERE!!!

I’ve been here a few times the food is fantastic the place is clean and you can’t go wrong with $ 13.99 all you can eat lunch and even dinner is only $ 19.99 The food is absolutely delicious but the service is shit, that’s why there’s one star off and also because we went this Monday at 11:30am but they opened the doors at noon we thought we were mistaken but even the sign on their door said 11:30am. It’s a nice location and it’s so worth it.
Note: take it easy on the tempura stuff the portions are crazy huge.

I went here on a Sunday during lunch to shuck oysters (not during the oyster promotion, which runs Monday-​Wednesday). Oysters were decent, with a nice selection of toppings to spice things up.
The problem was the service. The server had to come back to the table multiple times to both confirm the order, and to explain that they did not have what we wanted.
Once the order went in, it took close to an hour to get our oysters to our table. We only ordered 18 oysters. The wait time killed this place for me.

I went to this restaurant because it is supposedly the «best» AYCE sushi in Toronto.
The one word to describe my experience here is «disgruntled». The quality of the sushi isn’t bad, per se, but the whole experience left me vowing to not come back. For the record, Kyoto House on Dundas is much cheaper and has better quality.
The quality of service was virtually non-​existent, making it very difficult for me to even muster a 10% tip.
I found a fruit-​fly and a piece of plastic in my Udon soup. Upon telling the server, she gave me this «what do you want me to do» look, without even attempting to make amends.
I left the meal feeling nauseous, furious and wondering whether my stomach was going to survive this ordeal.

This place is actually not bad! I try to stay away from AYCE places cause I always end up eating too much. But my friend wanted to go here so I figured why not give AYCE sushi another shot.
I’d order these menu items again: seaweed salad (but I’d request sauce on side, cause it came kind of drenched in sauce); atlantic smoked salmon roll; fire house roll; black dragon roll; salmon belly; spicy butterfish handroll. I wasn’t a fan of: rocknroll maki; squid tempura.
I think I’d actually come back in the future (although probably not for a while).

I am addicted to this place. I usually go there for their lunch all you can eat — and I am never disappointed with the taste. Their Makis and rolls come with a (rare to find in all you can eat) balance between the rice and other ingredients. Its true they dont have sashimi items on the list, but for that price, I guess they cant!
Im surprised people say they dont have ice cream/​desserts with the AYCE — as they do have, its just not on the menu, U have to ask for it.

My friend suggested me to come to this place and tbh I’m really disappointed. The presentation and taste of many kitchen food were really bad. Seaweed salad looks nothing like the thin green stands that I am used to. Sushi rolls were pretty average as well. Oh and no shrimp tempura and ice cream desserts like any other AYCE lunch menu.

This Aji Sai a tiny place on Yonge St. just north of Bloor. There is another affiliated location on Yonge St. SOUTH of Bloor that’s much larger but the AYCE menus are different, as are the AYCE hours.
I like THIS Aji Sai WAY better than the one further south, although I have been to both many times. This Aji Sai is small and intimate, quiet, and seems much more sophisticated and professional. The service is great and so is the sushi chef.
Sushi rolls are great, good balance with rice and ingredients, well-​made. The variety on the AYCE menu is good, I like the sesame chicken a lot and the general tao. The sauces are tangy and tasty.
Only thing is that they don’t have dessert on the AYCE — at the south location they have several on theirs.

Unattentive service, poor attention to the food and not worth price.
Came here because we heard good reviews about it, decided to get a la carte for dinner instead of the AYCE, which is $ 21.99 plus tax. We got the dynamite roll and the diamond sushi set which were pricey. For ordering regular menu items, you’d think that the rolls would be a bit bigger and presented better, but they looked exactly like what you’d get if you were to get AYCE, and the dishes were sloppily put together, like someone just threw it on last minute. Like, really, are you kidding me? If I am paying more for the same thing I can get for AYCE, I’d expect larger portions and better presentations. The taste was nothing special, even the food court sushi down the street tastes better, and we paid like 2x the price.
If we knew it was going to be like this, we would’ve gotten AYCE instead. The service was pretty below average too, besides taking our order and getting us water, they didn’t come ask about the food or anything, even though the restaurant was kind of empty. Not to mention it was hard to wave someone down.
Definitely better options in the area, I don’t recommend this place.
