Sakura Garden

Our new go-​to place for take out. Friendly staff, generous portions, reasonable prices, and delicious food. If you order one of the signature entrees, get the hot and sour soup (delicious).
In typical Asian restaurant fashion, the menu isn’t really focused and spans from Chinese to Vietnamese to Japanese. However for a restaurant that tries to put out a wide range of food, everything I’ve tried so far has tasted better than most in this price range.
Check this place out if you’re in the area.

Not impressed! Food quality was mediocre, chefs obviously didn’t take pride in the preparation or presentation, and fish freshness was sub par at best. I’m shocked at the high reviews!
Also the service was lacking. Not friendly or polite, and never attentive. The vibe was that noone wanted to be there.
Highlight was the Dynamite roll and everything else we had to force down. Came for all you can eat lunch. I’m sure we had a lower than average experience and that they could do better, but would not take the risk of coming back at my own expense!

Never a bad moment at Sakura Garden. I’ve gone 5 – 6 times for all you can eat. Good quality sushi. Small enough of a restaurant that the wait staff are prompt. Sitting at the back near the kitchen gets you quicker service. One of my favourite sushi spots. Good place to go on a date too.

Really great for AYCE or al la carte.
Very consistently above average, check out the rock shrimp and spicy salmon sushi.
I am a weekly regular. I have tried many other places in the area and this one is the best.
I would highly recommend trying out Sakura Garden!

Terrible service over the phone. Tried to place an order for delivery and spent close to 10 minutes on the phone placing the order before they told me that I am too far for delivery. And I live 4 km from the restaurant. Such a waste of time. Jatujak is also 4 km and they gladly accepted my delivery order. And the food there is amazing!

Went there last night for our anniversary dinner. I didn’t realize it was a buffet but being to other similar buffet restaurant I thought it would be a lot of fun. The service was fast, and portions abundant, but lack a distinctive flavour. As I like to sample, I would say that the size of dishes was too big, on top of the fact the restaurant policy is to make you pay for leftover. So, generally, a positive experience without glamor.

I have been here numerous times as it is walking distance from my office, and one of our go-​to places for a group lunch.
Never really that full, we always can get a table for four or six of us without much of a wait.
Inside is generally clean with nice décor (last time it smelled like wet mop though — yuk!) and service is decent enough. They are not exactly friendly, but are not rude, and are relatively attentive, though at times we have had to wait quite a while to get the bill — not great when you have to get back to work.
Two stars because over the last few visits the food has consistently been pretty blah. Hot food came out cold, sashimi came out frozen, and a few items from our AYCE order never arrived.
Biggest complaint is that a few of us kept getting stomach sick after eating here — not a good sign. After the last visit when all of us got ill, we made the decision to never return.
Yes the lunch AYCE is cheap, but not worth it when the food sucks and makes you sick.

23 bucks for all you can eat including dim sum. Man can’t beat that.

I’ve been to Sakura Garden twice for AYCE, and I’ve been happy with both times I’ve gone. The price for AYCE (Even on weekends at lunch for $ 14) is unbeatable. The sushi and sashimi are fresh, and tasty — much better than the ones I’ve tried in Mississauga or Oakville. Menu has your standard kitchen items, and there are plenty of rolls to choose from. Service is attentive, although slower when busy (I believe they have 3 waitresses and 2 line cooks).
Place is quite small, but cosy. Price is the biggest factor though since at $ 14 for lunch or $ 23 for dinner (I think), it’s very competitive.

It’s a roller-​coaster experience at Sakura.
Sometimes it’s amazing, while other times it’s passable. But on most days it’s on the better end of the scale, that’s why I keep coming back.
I recommend their $ 13 weekday ($ 14 Fridays) lunch buffet that include sashimi, which is rare. Also I quite enjoy their savory General Tso combo that includes a delicious bowl of hot & sour soup for $ 7 during lunch hours. Unfortunately they «used to» have an amazing beef short rib combo (grilled to near perfection), but the last few times I ordered, it has been disappointing.

Everything you could ask for at an AYCE restaurant — quality, presentation, service all good. On a cold snowy evening the place was still buzzing.

Food was really good, and there’s a variety of things to choose from, aside from Japanese dishes, they also have Chinese and a few Thai items on the menu. My favorite dish was the Hawaii roll, which had salmon, avocado and cream cheese. The only thing I didn’t like was the service, I felt a little rushed at the end, it was around 10:00 pm and our waitress came over and asked if we wanted anything else since the kitchen was closing, which is fine. I then asked her what time the place closes and she said 10:00pm, but it closes at 10:30pm. That was fine too, but I felt very uncomfortable finishing up my meal while the whole staff was sitting near our table watching us and waiting for us to finish.

Amazing sashimi! The rock shrimp and spicy chicken are amazing as well. Everything is great here and they have a lot of different choices.

The service isn’t great but the food is solid. Not the best sushi in town, but definitely the best all-​you-​can-​eat for a few miles around. Usually very fresh, occasionally mediocre (though I think their DineSafe warning smartened them up in a hurry). If you don’t want to drive ten minutes and shell out for the excellent à-​la-​carte options to the southeast on Yonge, this is a great local option.

I had to try out this AYCE sushi place due to the raving Unilocal reviews, but I must admit I was pretty underwhelmed.
Tuna sashimi and hamachi is $ 1.50 extra per piece. With $ 23 per person, I expect it to be included like Sushi Fun. The sashimi was fresh — there wasn’t any hint of pre packaged frozen-​ish taste. The salmon rose here has no rice in it, which is also new to me. We had to ask for our dishes multiple times (understandable since this is AYCE) but it was only the third time when our waitress told us they were out of soft shell crab.
The service is prompt but cold. The servers were not friendly and walks away from the table before you finish your sentence. They do a good job of keeping your water glasses filled, but that’s pretty much it.
This is also the first time seeing a Japanese AYCE place serving dim sum. The shrimp dumpling (har gow) skin was over cooked and fell right off the shrimp. The spinach dumpling was decent but the skin was very chewy.
Nothing special about the rolls offered here. It stands out from other places only because the size if the rolls is quite large. The Hawaii Roll had cream cheese in it combined with cooked Salmon — A-​OK.
Not likely to return, they need to improve on their customer service skills.

I have to admit, I was surprised by how much I loved Sakura Garden! I’ve been twice now for AYCE, and it hasn’t disappointed!
There is a great menu including kitchen items (general tao, pad thai, tempura, agadashi tofu, teriyaki, basically anything you can imagine) and then lots from the sushi bar, including rolls, sushi and sashimi — all for about $ 22!
The sushi is really good — always fresh, and there are interesting rolls to boot! There is also great service — attentive without being overbearing, always there to top up drinks or take your next round order!
I definitely can’t recommend Sakura Garden enough — I don’t even know if I can think of a comparable AYCE downtown — so if you can get there, go!

All you can eat for $ 23? Holy cow yes I’m a fan! Six rolls to an order, reasonable portions, dessert included. Parking on the street, price per age for your kids.

It doesn’t get much better than this for AYCE sushi! The service was friendly and attentive, the Tom Yum soup was divine and the sashimi was super fresh. What more can you ask for?
At $ 23 per person on a Friday-​Saturday night, this restaurant is competitively priced (although drinks are not included). I also loved the rock shrimp (I would ask for it to be a light on the sauce next time) and the General Tsao chicken. The mango ice cream and fried bananas put me over the top but I would do it all over again next time. It was worth the extra time at the gym the next day!

Excellent! Great food! Nice service! Pretty décor! Fantastic Prices! Lovely presentation! Clean! Great serving size. Delicious! My new favourite sushi spot in the neighbourhood! Free neighbourhood street parking!
