Wakame Sushi

It’s a decent AYCE sushi place, went here for lunch and was very busy. Service not so great but that’s what you expect from AYCE during peak hours. This is the better sushi joint out of the very few in the neighbourhood.

I usually order delivery from here. I’m a fan of the deep fried rolls. They are quick and the food is on point.

I was very surprised by this location. They have super cheap bento lunch specials which are huge for $ 8.50. The dinner ones are good and was surprised as normally I wouldn’t order a la cart at an AYCE place. We did the all you can eat for dinner and was very impressed with the quality of the food and things always made it out and in good time. The lunch I was less impressed with as it is a smaller menu to choose from and lacked the sashimi or anything tuna but was cheaper. Usually this place is pretty full and good for uptown sushi.

I’ll start by saying that we expected bad service due to all the other reviews and also due to the fact that all he AYCE sushi restaurants have shitty service, but here was the worst. It wasn’t even that busy for a Sunday night and still out server Janice was awful. She walked off while we were mid ordering and clearly not finished as we had only ordered the salads. (Seriously our jaws dropped she just left mid sentence). She was neglectful and rude. She didn’t even bring us the right bill I was shocked as how hard can it be to ring up 2 AYCE bills!!!
Besides the bad service, the sushi was below par. There was much less selection than most AYCE places and less creative/​special rolls too. The spicy rolls were drenched in spicy mayo and the spicy mayo wasn’t even good.
Price is about what you’d pay for any other AYCE place. All in all skip this place. Super bad service, not good sushi. Pass.

Ordered teriyaki salmon dinner for take out. Salmon was dry and tasteless, seemed like it was cooked twice just for good measure. The attempt to resurrect salmon using teriyaki sauce from little container failed miserably. I just could eat it. The dinner order came with miso soup and salad. Thankfully I also had premeditated order of coconut shrimp, which wasn’t too bad, but could’ve been much better if it wasn’t OVERCOOKED.
The waitress from which I picked my order at the restaurant clearly didn’t want to be there.
I’m glad I never came here for a sit-​down meal.

Food poisoning with a side of terrible service.
We’ve been ordering and going here for over a year. We know what we get when we go here, terrible service, passable sushi, good prices. You get what you pay for and we bite the bullet when go. We know exactly what to expect.
One thing we never expected was to get food poisoning. My wife and I were sick for almost a whole week. I won’t be going back and we’ll probably head up the street and pay a bit more money at another place to get safer food with better service.

Went here for all you can eat sushi mutiple times while visiting Canada for a month from the United States. Great sushi for a great price BUT the customer service was definitely lacking. During busy days, ie Friday and Sat, can get quite crowded and be quite close to multiple other customers. (No elbow space). Most wait staff have no concern for customer satisfaction. Overall MENU choices and freshness brought me back again and again. My star rating is for the food options and quality, speed of service. Would have been 5 star if they could improve on customer service. The «bad» service may be a culture difference; I am not sure.

Very good all you can eat sushi place! Can be a bit slow due to large numbers on Friday and Saturday nights, but worth the wait. Delivers in the area which is a plus! Lunch specials very affordable!

Good, Consistent sushi — quick, convenient and their tuna is always fresh. Big recommend!

This is our neighbourhood sushi place, or it would be if the service didn’t suck.
The food is fine, middle of the road, and the prices on the high side of average, both of which we could live with if it wasn’t for the infuriating service!
Service is slow and you’re never talking to the same person. The waitresses don’t smile, they don’t even look like the want to be there. I’d call them robotic, but robots would be programmed to give good service. So I guess bad robots. Today one waitress just tossed food onto our table – the plate literally bounced – then walked away without a glance.
If you do happen to get a good server, you can’t even reward her because they pool all their tips!

Solid local sushi joint with prompt service and a clean atmosphere.

I have a love/​hate relationship with Wakame.
You’ll probably have at least 3 different waiters who don’t come by unless you desperately try to make eye contact with one so you call them over to your table. The staff is unfriendly, and act like they don’t want to even be there.
The restaurant will leave your clothes smelling like fried food, and the tables and floors are usually sticky.
The food is still delicious and inexpensive, especially the salmon maki and their bento boxes.
Take out is a good option but I always feel guilty for walking away with half a dozen styrofoam containers which are horrible for the environment.

Do you want good sushi? Come here! Do you want good sushi AND good prices? Come here! Do you want good sushi, prices AND customer service? DO NOT COME HERE. This place has the worst service I have ever experienced. The waiters clearly do not care for you, or your experience at the restaurant. They just want you to order, eat, pay, and get out of here! I had to ask my waiter 5 times for a glass of water. When they brought my food, she didn’t even bother to tell me what it is, place it in front me or even LOOK at me. I noticed this was the way all waiters behaved here. I used to love this place, but not anymore. I left without tipping, and definitely not going back. STAY AWAY!

One of the servers was flat out napping, sprawled across a table when we got there around noon.
The all you can eat was very affordable but unremarkable. All the food seemed to arrive at once and then we had to seek out the bill after two hours there. It was busy but they did not rush us in any way. The tip option allowed for 10% on the credit card machine which surprised me and the server acted very happy when I left more.
The sink area of the bathroom was gross and in a state of disrepair.
Strange place. I don’t think I will repeat but for what I paid they deserved more than one star.

Service was incredibly slow (likely because of two large groups about to leave), Even after they were gone, there was multiple instances where we tried to flag down a waitress, but none were in the dining area at all. We got double of things we ordered, and were missing some other items.
Food-​wise, the beef short ribs (kalbi beef) was good. Very juicy and tender (and fatty). The salmon sashimi were large, thin slices but were falling apart. It tasted fine, and was really soft. The maki were less impressive and were poorly presented. The filling to rice ratio was good, but most of the black dragon roll was missing the unagi (eel) top! How they could forget to put the unagi on the rest of the roll, I’ll never understand. The ends of the roll were uneven and looked rushed. The spicy salmon sushi had an okay-​level of spiciness. The wasabi came in a pool of water.
Free parking (plaza) and cheap $ 21.95 dinner price on weekdays. They speak Mandarin and English.
Overall, it was average and good enough if I’m in the area because of it’s low price.

I was here today for an early dinner. Service was really quick, but they did forget some items, which they brought out equally fast as soon as we asked for them.
The sashimi is really fresh and loved it, but wasn’t a fan of the rolls, except the avocado rolls. They do not have red bean ice cream, but their vanilla and mango ice cream is delicious.
The place got very loud and packed as the dinner rush came in. I am glad we were there a little earlier. It is a smaller place.
Overall, it’s a good place to get some decent AYCE sushi.

Service was extremely fast and the food was good. The menu had a nice wide selection of food and we were all quite full. Service wasn’t very heavy on communication but if you dropped a chop stick, a new set was on the table before you could even ask. The tables were kind of close together, to the point where it felt like we were dining with the couple next to us. My only concern is that I feel like we were over charged. 3 all you can eat dinners at 21.95 each come out to under $ 66 but our bill was $ 81. We didn’t realise until we already left but it seems very strange that that happened. But otherwise we were very full and happy when we left, other than the fact that we felt kind of scammed but we will deal with it another time if we return.

Eating here right now. Service is moderately quick for the amount of people in here. The sushi quality is awesome. You really can eat to your fill. Would come here again if in the area.
Also the Asian waitresses that usually never respond to plain English. Don’t do that here! Came back with a a response to my question when asked.

I am not a fan of sushi except for the Sushi at Blow Fish so can’t review the sushi at Wakame Sushi but what I can tell you is that all the other 30 items I ordered that weren’t sushi were Delicious!!!
First, DO THE ALL YOU CAN EAT ! totally worth it.
I am a big meat lover so I ordered almost every chicken/​beef and salmon item on the menu and really pigged out :) There’s not a lot of veggie dishes but I ordered the few that are and these were really good too, especially the slices cabbage, carrots, onions one and the one with the bok choy.
Not a big fan of fried food but even their fried breaded veggies were good.
Again, Dessert — Fried Banana with ice cream ! Don’t forget to have them add ice cream on the side for the fried banana. Although also fried, a must have!

Decent Japanese restaurant
The price is reasonable, and the food quality is pretty good. The dishes are decorated extremely well, especially the unagi don, which was served on a traditional-​looking bento box topped with extra unagi and sauce. The gyu beef don was also decorated in a very appealing way, with big portions.
The service was a little slow though – it took a long while before we could order, and the wait staff seems very reluctant to work there.
In any case, all in all this is a decent place for Japanese food!
