Great place to go as the seafood is always fresh and tasty. The Richmond Hill location closed about a year ago but this location is still open. Glad to hear as it’s my go-to AYCE!

Food is okay. Quality not so much. Service is terrible. Waiter shook his head at me because of the tip she told me that wasn’t enough, she demanded 15 or 10%. Don’t recommend going if you expect friendly service. Very Rude people. Never going back again. We left very upset. I told her the tip is voluntary no mandatory! She made faces and start mumbling something. It was very embarrassing as the people beside our table heard everything.

A lot of sashimi but not a lot of variety of food

Went here for a birthday and it was just okay. They have a good selection of sushi including red dragon, green dragon, dynamite roll and several veggie rolls. The sashimi was cut a decent size and there weren’t excess rice on the rolls so you don’t get filled up to quickly. My favourite for the night was the spicy squid. Although a bit salty, it was great with the fried rice. It was very moist and not chewy at all. The torpedo shrimp was pretty good as the shrimp was a decent size and not covered with too much batter that the shrimp becomes lost in it. There were crab legs as well, with imitation butter on the side. Overall, there wasn’t anything that was outstanding that would make me crave to come back. The food is decent for a buffet.

I am pretty surprised to see so many negative reviews on Unilocal.I’ve been coming here for about two years and I have yet to be disappointed. The sushi selection is great and I love the DIY soup station. The desserts aren’t the best, as I don’t think they are made in house. But overall I’ll be coming back here for many years to come!

Very disappointed. Went for my daughter’s birthday and was surprised at how awful it was. We’ve eaten at the Korean place next door and loved that. This was overpriced, low quality, grumpy staff, dirty and sticky washrooms. Sushi was mediocre and not a great variety. A step down from Mandarin and that’s not saying much. They got us in the door once but we will not be going again.

There wasn’t a lot of variety here. The sushi didn’t look appetizing at all, so I skipped that entirely. The good things about this place was the phở station. That was pretty cool, and the broth was not bad. They also had whole half lobsters but they were pretty overcooked and dry. The crab legs were alright too. Pretty standard, but there are better buffets.

Was a bit is pretty much Mandarin with a way better sushi selection. The place itself is huge and actually rather nice. Very clean and the layout of the buffet is spacious so people don’t have to crowd around like a pig pen. They happen to have quite a bit of hot foods and a much larger sushi selection than any Chinese buffet I’ve seen. The sushi selection is what my friend told me was the reason for coming. He wasn’t kidding when he mentioned the large selection. They cut it in half with vegetarian rolls and meaty rolls. They even do sashimi for weekend lunch, which is a nice touch. The sushi was pretty decent, but still AYCE so don’t expect gourmet sushi. The hot foods are pretty good, though not as vast as the sushi. The tables look long and you would think there would be a lot to choose from, but the dishes are spread far apart from each other. It’s kind of good in the sense that people don’t crowd around. They have a nice selection of soups, salads, and dim sum items as well. The grill didn’t seem to be occupied by anyone. I saw some people waiting for someone to make them noodles, but it never happened. The rotisserie is also a bit weak, but at least someone was there. The desserts are also rather large and they had a wide assortment of ice cream, pastries, and cakes. Not a lot of fruit though. This buffet is huge and can probably hold enough people where you never need reservations. The parking is plentiful as it is shared with a giant plaza. It is interconnected with the Korean BBQ joint so it seems its an AYCE haven for you guys. Would come back over Mandarin.

Here for lunch on mother’s day. Came early so it was not busy until close to leaving. Service was OK. 1.45hr until they rush you out the door. 1.30hr, the bill arrived without asking. Then after a while, guy came up with the card machine to ask if i needed it, without asking. I can understand being on holidays, but I hope they don’t do that on a regular day. The food was decent. Fair amount of selections, but 3 type of chicken wings? Lobster was not great, overcooked, same with the prime rib. Sushi and sasami were good. It was not filled with rice, good proportion. My favorite the spicy tuna did not have much kick to it. Little odd the entire dessert table had no tags at all. I had been to the Markham location could times few years back and there have been many changes. I was expecting more traditional Chinese items but was more closer to Mandarin. It did exceed my expectations, and I would have preferred to go on a regular day, but I don’t think I would be returning anytime soon.

Good quality food. Very tasty. Unfortunately the cakes on the dessert table were still frozen solid but we got there shortly after they opened. Would definitely go back again.

Sushi and sashimi are great(very fresh) Grilled garlic lobster was chewy Crab legs were grilled Muscles were fresh Escargo was steamed nicely but needed a bit of salt Dessert cakes other then the tiramisu were no up to par The jellies on the dessert tasted old Nice handrolls Since the new management we have noticed interior paintings, nice chopsticks, chocolate fountain and tableware are now missing replaced with disposable chop sticks.

Went on a Friday night and we were seated right away. Service is in line with other all you can eat places. Usually I’m not too picky with food but about half of the stuff here tasted a bit bland. Some of the items that weren’t bland were too salty. Some fruits were left out for too long so they didn’t taste fresh. No complaints about the dessert portion that was alright. I would visit another all you can eat place before this one if you are looking. Maybe Wok of Fame or Spoonful.

Ended up here for a work function. Expectations were admittedly fairly low at an AYCE in Mississauga. That said if you like the sort of food at these places or Mandarin you’ll probably be quite happy with the fare. Everything you’d expect with the addition of a large Sushi selection. Sushi snobs would probably cringe but again it’s an AYCE restaurant with a lunch Buffett for 13 bucks. Fine for a group work lunch, well priced and overall good option for this sort of restaurant. Lots of parking and it’s massive so seating shouldn’t be a problem even at noon. Service was fine, it’s a Buffett so keep my water filled and get me the bill when I burst. Would return but not that soon.

I must admit… I HATED this place since it opened. Always was terrible quality almost inedible food. But I just went recently. Their sushi bar was loaded with choices and they were actually quite good… especially for a buffet. Wasabi DEFINITELY stepped their game up.

Been here once and didn’t like it. The décor was nice. Easy to accomodate groups and spacious arrangement. That being said it’s a typical AYCE fare but food was seriously lacking. Everything on the hot table were lukewarm at best and it was slim pickings as fresh food was not being brought out. Some dishes were too salty. Tempura had too much batter. For buffet sushi, the sushi and sashimi was decent. Service was slow as well. Dishes piled up at the end of the the table and even though my party was able to communicate with the staff in Mandarin, they should definitely hire some English speaking people. Overall a less than subpar experience.

Not too bad. What I like about this place is the space, the utilization of the spacious-ness and the décor. Also, the concept is nice — a little bit of mandarin, a little bit of Ayce sushi and a whole lot of live kitchen. Unfortunately, wasabi fails at food: — the sashimi was not fresh… I could taste the«off-ness» and I am no expert. My dad, however, enjoyed it. But then again, little phases him. — the dumplings didn’t taste right. Neither did the gyoza. Mind you, it’s also because I make amazing dumplings at home. — some of the meat was rubbery — tempura section was a massive fail: shrimps had too much tempura batter, squid tempura didn’t taste good. Wasabi also fails at service: — the staff members don’t really speak English. They probably don’t understand it either. I asked for soy sauce — they directed me to hot sauce. — the waiters are perpetually busy. In other words, they don’t really care when your glass of water is empty and you’re in need of a refill. Try reminding them twice. I agree with Vlad and Tasha — they forgot about our bill too. — the staff members are not knowledgeable on the displayed items. The dessert counter was missing labels so I asked the woman behind the counter about one of the items. Her answer, you ask? «I don’t know…» What I did enjoy? — the well marbled medium rare steak — the sushi(not sashimi), house rolls in particular — the format… It was different — the live cooking My parents really enjoyed this place. Especially, my dad. I guess if you want something different in terms of experience, especially in comparison to Mandarin, this is the place. I’m keen on trying their adjacent sister restaurant — Chako.

The rating description I had in mind(«I’ve had better») is unfortunately a 2-star rating; this place isn’t mind-blowing, but it’s definitely more than 2 stars. I’ll highlight below the reasons I think Wasabi Grand Buffet is a solid 3-star restaurant. Food: I love sushi and this place delivers. They don’t have any crazy concoctions, but they do the basics very well. On top of the sushi they have a few other dishes(General Tao’s, sweet n’ sour pork, etc.); the reason I’m giving Wasabi a 3-star instead of 2-star rating is because they have dumplings and pork buns. FRESH dumplings and pork buns. This is a rarity at most buffets and is usually found at authentic Chinese restaurants, so the find was definitely very nice. Servers: Super helpful and very polite. It’s a buffet so there shouldn’t be much need for servers, but the ones that are present are definitely an asset. Whether it’s providing refills for drinks or meeting specific food restrictions, they jump to help. Also, the ladies are hot. That’s always a plus in my books ;) Ambiance: The ambiance is very chilled out. It has business-y overtones, so it’s a great place for company outings(which is how I came here). Very open seating area with enough room to move around without seeming cavernous. I’ve listed all the good, now here’s the reason Wasabi didn’t score higher: everything here(minus the pork buns/dumplings) is a solid MEH. Nothing stands out as amazing, everything down to the dessert is average. TL;DR: Solid average buffet that will not blow your mind, but will definitely fill you up and leave you satisfied.

Mandarin on steroids .. . is the best way I can describe this place. It’s an all you can eat buffet style restaurant with a pretty decent sushi bar. They also have a grill where you can order things, I tried the grilled salmon and it was quite delicious. In fact my mouth is salivating a little while I write this. I highly recommend it. Other than that, they have so much variety of food there, that it is almost impossible to try a little of everything. The Food is good quality, and the décor of the place was really nice. The servers were attentive until it came time for us to pay. They gave us the bill and then completely forgot about us hahaha. My gf and I were tempted to just leave because no one would have noticed but instead we went up to the front and waited for someone to come around with the debit machine. I know, we deserve some sort of best customers award because damn, this place isn’t cheap. So if you have some money to spare and want to go to an upscale buffet place, this may be the place for you.

Wasabi is ok. My favourite thing about wasabi is the soup station. You pick your protein, noodles and soup base and they assemble it. Best thing about wasabi and probably why I still eat here once in a while. The food is ok nothing spectacular. I’ve had better sushi.

The food was really good. I loved the salmon sushi but I didn’t love the samon sashimi. I only really wanted sushi but there are a lot of other foods available. Not a huge selection of sushi but I did enjoy what I tried. I went here on a Saturday night. It was really expensive. $ 64 for two people without taxes or gratuities. We didn’t order drinks and the green tea isn’t included fyi. I also didn’t like how you had to get up to get your own food. I like when it’s brought to me. *spoiled* but oh well. :) I am still searching for my favourite all you can eat sushi place in Brampton or Mississauga. Any ideas, message me!
