Mizuki Sushi

Service is great but food is nothing special. Also didn’t want to make a big deal, but there was a piece of hair in my soup which turned me off the entire stay.

Was having a great time then the bill came. We paid by debit then had cash for tip. Was about to tip but then the head server or manager she came into our face to tell us we needed to tip her like chill the hell out. Vibes ruined after a great service. She was being impatient.

This wasn’t my first time here but since the last time the sushi has gotten significantly worse. The salmon sashimi use to be pretty decent but today I felt like the sashimi was freezer burnt. They also cheated out on the amount of fish on the rolls.
I like rice but seriously. At an ayce restaurant this was just horrible. The service was prompt but they need to correct their portion sizes.
Definitely not worth $ 24.99 ayce.
Would not recommend this place. I will probably end up eating here again because my grandma lives around the corner and this plaza is what is accessible.

Came here for brunch & ordered the dinner all you can eat option because i really wanted some sashimi & dinner menu comes with quite a few hot dishes options that isn’t in the lunch menu. Also i wanted to have the full experience before i made a Unilocal comment. For all you can eat this place is decent. They have shrimp and scallop sashimi for weekend dinners. Their tofu pudding & shrimp karaage is DA BOMB love it. Actually all their desserts are super good! DROOLS! The scallop & shrimp sashimi is pretty good. Other sashimi is mediocre. Hot foods are pretty good on the most part. Lots of options in their menu. The décor is beautiful! Not what i expected. Not much customers so there is no wait. Service is pretty fast. The price is decent, atmosphere is VERY good, desserts are pretty awesome. Pretty good for date night if you want to stay away from breaking the bank.
$ 25.99 for dinner ayce for adults on weekends. Worth a try.

Soggy rice. Eew!
I don’t often give poor reviews but this restaurant quickly fell off my chart.
The first time I came here was about one month into opening and the food was great. Brand new décor. Timely service. Good prices. What else can you ask for?
Maybe today was an off-​day but I came here expecting to eat sushi and I was highly disappointed by the mushy warm rice which then made the nori chewy and not crunchy. The portions shrunk, but I can live with it since I went with the AYCE menu.
The cooked food items were ok, but nothing outstanding.
I don’t think I’ll return unless they can get the staples (e.g. sushi and sashimi) right.

Came here with my bf today for the lunch special (lasts til 4pm!). You get a lot of food for the value! We ordered the sushi specials. At about $ 8.50 each, you get soup, salad, 16 rolls, and in the winter they add 2 takoyaki, dumplings, or spring rolls. We were super full and couldn’t even finish all of the food! Waitress was also super polite and packed up our leftovers for us :)

I, like many others, decided to try this place because I had a Groupon for it. I believe I paid about $ 24 for $ 60 worth of food here (not usable with ayce or lunch specials, and must have at least 4 people in order to use. Also a reservation. This was according to the fine print. What I found out at the restaurant was that they decided to add another condition. Not usable with bento boxes either).
The interior of the restaurant looks more upscale than I thought it would (I have a preconceived notion of what a Chinese-​run Japanese restaurant looks like). They have a few tables for larger parties (say six and up), and they’re either large squares (with the seating running bench-​like around it, or large booths. These are cute, but not so practical, I find (have you ever tried reaching into the middle of a really big square table? Good to put stuff on, but not practical without a lazy susan.
Had:
Mizuki roll (10.95) — torched salmon on top of chopped white tuna, crabmeat & fish egg with Japanese spicy sauce and sweet sauce. 8 pieces. One of them was sideways when it came to the table. I’ve never had that presentation issue happen before. Tiniest pieces of torched salmon on top of the roll. Could taste the torched part though. Added a nice depth of flavor. Rice was very overcooked. Almost mushy. For the first time ever, the spicy sauce actually had a good spicy kick to it. I enjoyed the taste of this roll, but the rice makes me wonder whether I’d ever get it again.
Spider roll ($ 10.95) — deep fried soft shell crab, avocado, cucumber, flying fish egg & Japanese mayo. 8 pieces. Again with the mushy rice. Not cool. Also the tiniest spider roll I’ve ever seen. For this price point, definitely not enough crab.
Chirashi don ($ 15.95) — assorted sashimi on rice (served with salad and miso soup). Pieces of sashimi were quite small. Not very fresh either. Ironically, this rice was considerably more like sushi rice than the rice they used in their rolls. This bothers me.
Katsu don ($ 9.95) — panko-​crushed (sic) pork with egg and onion, served with katsu sauce and rice (served with salad and miso soup). I’m used to the egg in my katsu don being much less well done than this. This was a pork cutlet with onions in an egg omelette. Not much sauce either. Pork cutlet was extremely tough. I ordered this thinking it would be very difficult to get wrong. I was wrong.
Salmon terriyaki dinner ($ 11.95) — two pieces of salmon terriyaki served with miso soup, salad, rice, and mixed veggies. Salmon portions could have been bigger, but the portion was decent for the price. The salmon was overdone (I have yet to have a properly cooked salmon terriyaki anywhere though). Terriyaki sauce had a good balance of sweet to savory. Veggies (broccoli, carrots, zucchini, perhaps something else I forget) were crisp, and the black pepper on top was a nice touch.
This was an okay experience, but unless I get another Groupon, I probably won’t be back for their a-​la-​carte. I might consider trying their ayce (they have interesting dinner desserts like green tea tofu pudding and at $ 23.95 for dinner, it’s not bad), but probably not anytime soon.

We went there for the first time using a Groupon. I was disappointed I was not able use is for the all you can eat… oh well.
We ended up ordering from their regular menu… Ordered a boat which was decent BUT it did not offer anything «special». The boat was basically the same stuff as the all you can eat BUT was small (in quantity).
I would be disappointed if I had to pay full price since we did not leave feeling full. Food was ok but we expected more.
The décor, atmosphere and service was very good.
Hopefully they increase the quantity of the food on the a la carte menu or just stick to an all you can eat restaurant. They are having trouble trying to be both.

Honestly I have been here a few times with my boyfriend and absolutely loved the food — the service on the other hand is horrible — I’ll went with my brother who is handicapped and my father, we were seated and not a single waitress came to even bring us water or ask if we needed help or to place an order … We tried grabbing their attention but they did not come. The restaurant was not full … We got up and left. Will not return

I went to this restaurant for a AYCE Lunch. This place when you first walk in, the décor is very nice and modern. The place is great for big groups. The Service in the place it’s okay, not anything to be amazed about. it is focused more on efficiently getting you the food, rather then intimate service.
Onto the food the most important parts, for the most part i find that the cooked food is better then the sushi. I’ve been to this place multiple times, and i have to say their sushi quality has decreased greatly. It is not just the fish that is not as good in quality anymore, but also the rice. You can tell when a restaurant is going for the money, if they make a Salmon rose where the rice is so big it pops right our of the sushi and has plenty of space with no salmon. Also the rice quality has decreased, as the rice used for the sushi is very mushy and wet. and not the smooth texture that sushi should be.
aside from the sushi which is not up to par even when compared with other AYCE places around them. the cooked food was actually the better part, most of their cooked food was done fairly well, as with everything in my pictures has shown, the only exception would be the chicken skewers which is dry. other then that the veggies are good, the short ribs are good, and overall they are competent when it comes to the cooked food portion.
This restaurant i would’ve given it a 4 star in the past, however because the sushi quality has dropped so dramatically, i can’t help but give it 3 stars at best. it may be an off day, and i might still try it one more time just to see if its true.
Overall it is nothing spectacular, but not a bad restaurant either, so if your around the area and its locally whats available it is decent.

The thoughts of coming back… is close to none.
Décor is decent. Food is mediocre. Not worth the price. Better off somewhere else. Probably worst ayce sushi in Scarborough.
Waitresses walk by more than 4 times without taking dishes. Also rushing us to take the order, probably because we used a groupon.

I purchased a Groupon for Mizuki sushi $ 17 for 30.
I came in knowing this could not be used for all you can eat.
But then upon studying the menu, you could not order the bento boxes on the last page of the menu either.
Chinese-​run restaurants always do this, and it’s really a turnoff.
I know it’s hard to make it as a restaurant, but because of this, I don’t think I would go back.
At the end I asked if dessert was included, and was told it was $ 1 extra for an ice cream. But then another waitress came back and said it was 1.50.
Overall the cooked food is very good, the rolls lack flavour, and for 8.50 — 10 for the specialty rolls, they were very small — all you can eat size. Usually restaurants will make larger rolls if you are not participating in the all you can eat.

It’s located in a plaza called Skymark Plaza on Don Mills and Finch, close by to Seneca College and its in the same plaza of No Frills
I decided to come here because some of the reviews seem decent, and the price of $ 26 was average for everywhere. Drinks not included and you would need to pay additional for pop, but tea and water was free!
My first impression of the restaurant renovation, was it looks modern and it can cater to large groups with different table settings that you don’t see in many AYCE restaurants. I stood at the front door for awhile waiting to be seated, and finally someone came by and brought us to a booth. (Most booth were filled with people)
Service-​waitress ⁵⁄₅
Very good service and attentive. Always came by to take in your orders, and collecting finished plates. no complaints
Food-​sushi/​Sashimi/​Rolls
They carry your typical ayce choices along with Scallops and Sweet Shrimp! (which we were REALLY excited to try)
we ordered the following
Sashimi-​Salmon, seared Salmon, Surf Clam, Scallops, Sweet Shrimp, Red Snapper, Mackerel
**My seared salmon never came instead I got seared white tuna.
I have to say the sashimi tasted really low quality, and for some odd reason by scallop and sweet shrimp looks half cook or that something has cooking it. The color was kind of off — all sashimi had a warm taste and it was covered in water — it just didn’t taste pleasant, we ordered a second round of sashimi. same thing
Rolls– Our roll order was forgotten on the FIRST ticket.mmm.we ordered their signature roll. it was really meh… and the nori was chewy
handroll– the Nori was very soft when it came… portion of rice to filling. rice more. filling a bit. no good
Hot Food– beef roll enoki, and green onions, short ribs, grilled shrimp, grilled cutlet, grilled mushroom, grilled beef, grilled chicken heart, etc etc (The shrimp did not taste fresh again) but overall the beef were all pretty good !
(or 2^nd order some of the grill items were once again forgotten !!! they weren’t even full for the evening !!)
Apps– Green Salad, pickled bitter melon — they use the Japanese sesame dressing and the salad is not drenched in water therefore it was good, and surprisingly i don’t like bitter melon but this was the only dish I ate most that night its good if you can bear the taste of bitter melon.
Deserts — Pretty much tried everything except the cakes! but there was nothing spectacular about the deserts at all.
They accept credit card payments and service charge is not added on the bill. We were given a Frequent Diner Card where you buy 9 buffets and you get 1 free, each stamp equals to one person
Overall I would not come back to, and would prefer going to other places that is the same price but have better food quality.
The one star is for service and the other is for the grill station

A nicely renovated all you can eat Japanese restaurant. The price can be a little pricy, but the food was worth it. The scallop and shrimp sashimi are pretty difficult to find in most all you can eat restaurants. The skewers were my favourite, especially the chicken heart and the small octopus. Some of the deep fried stuff are just average though, such as the thousand island shrimps that some reviews mentioned. The food came pretty fast, since it wasn’t too busy when we had our dinner, but they did forget to put in a few of our items and gave us someone else’s order. I don’t blame them much for that because most all you can eat restaurants have this problem. Overall the dinning experience was above average/​good.

Mizuki Sushi 水木壽司 is right at Finch and Don Mills off the 404 inside a plaza.
Elegant modern interior design however plays top 40 kind of music. Service was decent and they mostly respond in English and sometimes Cantonese.
All you can eat prices:
Mon — Thurs Adults $ 24
Fri, Sun & Holidays $ 26
(I don’t know where Saturday falls into because the menu is clearly missing that)
Certain Chinese newspapers have cut-​out coupons for this place.
Before I write my review I need to point out the SPECIAL that people do get confused about:
1) FREE DINNER ON YOUR BIRTHDAY is real, you must present your photo ID before ordering.
2)15% OFF THE WHOLE TABLE ON YOUR BIRTHDAY MONTH … BUT the astricks state that you need a MINIMUM OF FOUR PEOPLE pay for DINNER PRICES… drinks are not included … ID is still required. and most importantly … CANNOT BE COMBINED WITH ANY OTHER OFFERS and of course not valid on holidays …
So the main point is. you can only choose either special #1 listed above or special #2 and cannot be both. So you either get one free dinner for the birthday boy/​girl OR you get 15% off for the whole table of at least 4 people at dinner.
Drinks are NOT all you can drink … coke #330 and all pop are $ 1.00. ice tea #385 is $ 1.50 … juice #336 is $ 3 … but tea and water is included.
They actually give you the amount in pieces you order. you know how sometimes you write 10 pieces they give you 5?. Ya they actually give you 10 here.
Sashimi … everythings good. most importantly … on Friday-​Sunday and Holidays you also get Scallop Sashimi #150 and Sweet Shrimp Sashimi #151 as well. DO ORDER IF YOU LOVE THESE AND LOVE EATING BY VALUE. Although I do find the sweet shrimp not as sweet as I’ve had elsewhere … They’re not cheap on those orders though; they give you what you order.
They also have this Honey Pork Trotter #169 if you like pig feet (I posted a picture of it) which you don’t get at other places. Their salmon head looks like its overly dry on the outside but the inside is still quite moist and juicy.
They only have two ramen choices which is beef ramen #286 and spicy beef ramen #287. compared to other places there’s a huge variety. well they do but in udon.
I posted pictures of the menu if you want to see the rest but other than that, it’s pretty typical. I do find that they didn’t have AC on the night I went there. quite stuffy …
The decors they use are real flowers (yes I sniffed them and touched them, I have picture posted). Their thousand island shrimp #165 is basically your regular shrimp drenched in thousand island sauce … not the most amazing but just wanted to let you know.
Overall it’s not bad, I would come back again.

False advertisement. Their menu has 2 promotions. One is Free Dinner on your birthday. The other is 15% off for your birthday month if you have a total of 4 of more people. The «Free Dinner» did not have an asterisk beside it on their menu but their 15% off did. We were under the impression that it is free on your birthday without any conditions. The manager said that the fine print applied to both promotions even tho there wasn’t an asterisk on the «Free Dinner». Either way, we had 6 people at the table so my friend still ate for free but they wouldn’t let us use their Grand Opening promotion, 10% off. Manager said we cannot combine promotions. Since we had 6 people, 2 of us could still have used the 10% grand opening promotion but the manager said we MUST sit separately. Obviously we sat together. I can’t believe the manager treated us this way when it wasn’t our fault.
Food was mediocre. Nothing special for its price. Some things that you must try if you go:
Flounder (made much better than most AYCE places)
Shrimp wrapped with bacon

Mizuki has Japanese potato croquettes and chicken heart skewers that I haven’t seen in most Japanese AYCE places. Good selection on menu. Food are served fresh and hot. It also has a nice selection of desserts. Good value for the price.

The decoration was good. I went there for lunch and its price is was reasonable (15.00). The lunch menu was good, but it had many mistakes. No sashimi at lunch, but at least the amount of rice in a sushi wasnt that much.

One of the best sushi buffets around where I live. The location, restaurant size, and interior décor is really good too.
The menu is quite large, even for the lunch menu, which is definitely a plus. Personally I feel that the lunch price is more worth it ($ 15 weekdays, $ 16 weekends), compared to the $ 10 premium for dinners. They have special promotions right now so if you pay cash you get 10% discount.
The food I liked today includes the short ribs, sakura rose sushi, skillets, chicken kagame, calamari, takoyaki, beef and mushroom wrap. They have many options for ice creams, like 5 of them! One thing to stay clear of is their cakes selection… don’t order them! They are store bought so the taste is pretty generic and awful. But the pudding is quite soft and smooth though, if you can get over the synthetic mango taste…
Also, one thing to consider is that many fried items/​skillets/​kitchen items only comes in 1 piece when you put 1 on the order, as opposed to 1 serving. So typically their portion is quite small so you can try more things.
Really hope this place will last and keep up with the quality. One thing they should improve upon is their server team, but it’s understandable considering they just opened.

Reasonably priced AYCE with lots of delicious options. Servers are attentive and all the dishes came out quickly. The décor is really nice, but they have weird curtains leading into the kitchen. The unfortunate cutting of the fabric creates the illusion that pants are hanging from the doorway.
P. S. They also have a great deal if it’s your birthday. Birthday gal/​guy gets their dinner meal free on their birthday if they have a table of four or more in total. If it’s your birthday month, it’s 15% off dinner for four or more. You can’t combine both offers though.
