New Generation Sushi & Teppanyaki

Unfortunately couldn’t get a table at the teppanyaki tables but we had sushi and the tumi and yem bento with beef, and their crunch roll! The sushi was extremely fresh and even the miso was excellent! Best part was the service!! it was my sons birthday and they went above and beyond to make his day special! I would love to go back again and again!

The food took very long to get to us and unfortunately the food is found to be bland in comparison to their other locations which I’ve been to. But I guess it’s cuz there’s two all you can eats happening In this location. I wish I could’ve given them a better rating but it just wasn’t up to par.

Good service and tasty food
A bit more expensive than the regular all you can eat but big option menu to choose from

The concept is great, never experienced anything like this. The décor is gorgeous, good location, and good food. However, the staff need a bit of work. Explaining to us the concept and how it the menu works was great and they try to be as accommodating as possible.
We ordered our drinks and the server brought it up on the try and left it sitting behind the tappanyaki grill until the beer was almost warm. As we would finish the dish we would have no space for anything and have to ask the staff to take it away. As tasty as the food was, if you are giving those who are doing the AYCE tappanyaki, but allow them to order sushi as appetizers, space it out.
Only 4 tappanyaki grills and felt that they are over booked and felt rushed out. Staff hovered over our table as we were finishing up.
It’s a good place, something worth trying if you’re in the area.

Fresh good, great staff. This is one of my favourite sushi places. Keep going back even though there are other places I could try.

Will not return! Service is horrible. Stood at the front door for 15 minutes before anyone even came up to me. Was seated right beside the door so, I froze to death. They served us PINK chicken wings and they said it was the marinate they use. The marinate they use? What kind of marinate makes the inside of a chicken wing pink? Horrible and completely unorganized service. I also asked for a glass of water 5 times and finally got it after the 5^th time

Even though we didn’t get the teppanyaki table it was still a nice experience with the sushi. Every dish was tasteful and the service was quick and prompt. Still a lot of guessing whether items will show up not not. I wish they go to the iPad ordering system soon.

Came here for dinner for two people for teppanyaki, no reservations. The tables looked full but we were still able to get seats within 5 minutes.
The food is great cause you can order from the sushi menu and then you get the all you can eat teppanyaki. Great chef on the grill doing tricks and stuff and friendly as well.
⁴⁄₅ stars because one of the servers seem really rude and unenthusiastic towards customers. Other than that this is a great place to check out

One of my favourite ayce sushi places. If it wasn’t so far from where I lived it would be my go to place. Whenever it’s my mom or my birthday, we come here for dinner.
So food wise, everything I’ve had is good. The sashimi is so fresh and cut thick. They give salmon belly which a lot of places don’t usually. They have herring sashimi and octopus sashimi which is rare for ayce. If they had squid too I would probably live here. The salmon roses are just salmon, Japanese mayo and tobiko which is perfect since other places put rice in it to fill you up.
The all time favourite for my mom and I is the fusion roll. It’s like a California roll with butterfish on top then Japanese mayo torched and sauce poured on top. Idk what it is but it’s the best. Try it!!!
The service is good, there’s always different servers but Carmen is very friendly and always checking up. There’s also another guy that idk the name of but he’s pretty funny in a deadpan kinda way haha.
Out of all the ayce sushi places I’ve been to this is the best for me.

We had excellent service. The restaurant is really clean! Teppanyaki was upstairs and we had a la carte on the main floor. Great vegetarian choices that are not always available at other sushi places, e.g. Spicy vegetable maki roll. Thoroughly enjoyed our food and experience:)

This is my second time coming here, and both times I was not disappointed with their service and food.
The service was friendly and professional, most of their staffs have a wide knowledge base of the food they offer; therefore, I could frequently ask them questions about the food on the menu, giving me the comfortable opportunity to try a lot more different selections that I would not normally order from any other AYCE restaurant!
The food quality was also up to par, I can’t recall any food that I didn’t re-​order again. Everything was freshly made and was NOT bland and had an explosion of flavors!
The interior design of the restaurant is one of the reason why I wanted to try this place. It is really innovation and artsy inside, and everything seems really clean!

The place was a bit hard to find, it’s hidden behind other industrial buildings. The décor inside is nice. We came for AYCE lunch on a Saturday. The AYCE lunch menu is the same as the dinner and same price. The ordering system is super outdated they don’t use iPads with pictures… They have a paper menu with lots of words and no pictures (and doesn’t even describe what is in each roll) and then you have to flag a waiter over and try to remember all the things you want to order…
The food on the menu was limited, plain and simple and nothing special, nothing high end, all the cheap stuff. Nothing on the menu was exceptional or good, there are many AYCE places much better than here, our entire group of 6 people for sure will not return.

We did dinner here on Monday and had a very nice experience.
They were able to accommodate our party of 6 for the teppanyaki on downside we waited for over 1 hr until our show began.
During our waiting time, we had a variety of appetizers and rolls which were great. The salmon sahib was spectacular.
Thoroughly enjoyed the spicy salmon handroll as well. Some dishes were a bit salty but overall it was a very pleasant experience. Definitely will return. There’s room for improvement but for an AYCE in this part of town. It’s great.

Very «no thrills» about this place, but you’ll get exactly what you came for.
When we first pulled up, we immediately had second thoughts because of how dingy & esthetically unappealing it looked on the outside. Rest assured, the food & service makes up for it.
I wouldn’t call it a hidden gem, and I sure as heck would not go out of my way to come here, but if you happen to be in Vaughan and need to sedate your sushi craving, it’ll do.
Their rolls were big & had minimal rice, the sashimi was fresh, and no complaints on the teppanaki & tempura items.
Service was great — The wait staff was very attentive, checked in on all the right times, and our drinks were never past half empty.
All in all, there wasn’t much to love or hate. If it weren’t for the menu not being very extensive, I would be a little more eager to come back.

If I could give it zero stars I would… but I can’t, so I’ll just tell the story (excuse the poor grammar, im getting mad just thinking about it.)
We made a reservation for 8 pm on a Saturday and they didn’t have a record of it when we got there: we told them my wife is very pregnant, please don’t sit us next to the door… which they did. Two of us wanted to the all you can eat, two didn’t so the waiter made us separate the tables and switch seats so we were grouped accordingly. We sat for 20 minutes waiting for food before the waiter finally told us he forgot to punch it in. Finally, and my favorite, was the new waiter offering dessert on the house for the two non-​ayce people then charging us for it and denying that he offered it! It was overall a fairly lousy dinner at a lousy restaurant with lousy service and they won’t be getting my business again. Maybe your experience will be different, I can only talk about mine.

This place is pricey for an AYCE (think $ 25-​$ 30 for any meal), but well worth it. Rolls were fantastically presented, with tons of fish and a quite reasonable amount of rice. Sashimi is all-​day, and truly unlimited, which is great.
Beef Tataki was delicious — and came with a fantastic dipping sauce. Outside of Japanese food, their Pad Thai was also much better than expected.
Beware of ordering ‘white tuna’ sashimi, however, as what ultimately came out was some brown, mushy fish. Still palatable, but far from what I anticipated. Apparently, through November 2014, they’re giving out a free half-​lobster with every meal… without a commensurate price hike. Go there while the promotion’s still on.

Location: 8750 Jane St, Vaughan
Price: $$$
Service: Good
This place and pretty fancy– it doesn’t look like it on the outside but the inside is amazing. The layout of the restaurant is really modern and it has two floors. The second floor is for teppanyaki. They have two types of «all you can eat» (AYCE sushi and then there’s AYCE teppanyaki), and there’s also à la carte sushi as well. To be honest it is really over priced even for lunch sushi. The start off price is $ 25.
I wasn’t too hungry that day so I didn’t choose AYCE, I just got a bento box lunch special. The sushi was alright. I wasn’t a big fan because their sushi had a strong vinegar taste to it. One cool thing about this restaurant is the fact that they offer brown rice (of course there’s additional charge to it). However, when I tried the brown rice it has a strong vinegar taste as well– which is really odd. It’s possible that they use that same rice for sushi too if other customers asked. The miso soup was a little too salty. On the bright side I really like the salmon sashimi, it was fresh!
Our server was really friendly and accommodating since I like to ask a lot if questions. The server frequently checked up on us (of course when my mouth is full of food. Omnomnom). I gave this place a 2.5 for the serve and possible revisiting to try their teppanyaki.
Verdict: Passable

I’m glad that I tried out New Generation — It’s the best bang for the buck in the GTA for AYCE Sushi.
The service was excellent. Our server was really patient when taking our order and didn’t mind explaining the Japanese items on the menu.
We were each given complimentary hamachi sashimi, which was a rare sight in most AYCE restaurants. The sashimi options here also include: salmon, butter fish, white tuna, tamago, kani, mackerel and surf clam. The only complaint I have is the cut if the salmon — instead of big chunks I would have preferred thinner slices.
The three salmon appetizers were all delicious and presented as if we we ordered a la carte. The beef tataki was NOT frozen but the sauce was not sour enough. Although the server advised that she gave us the wrong dipping sauce the first time, our sauce in the next order was exactly the same.
Dessert wasn’t too impressive. The coconut sago was basically sugary water in a small cup. The ice cream still had the taste of freezer burn, but nothing to complain about for AYCE.
The menu variety goes from Maki to Korean rice cakes and even Thai curry! I didn’t get a chance to try everything, but I definitely will be back for their teppanyaki experience!

3.5 stars.
I came to New Generation for lunch today. The décor is really nice, and very spacious. It’s located on two floors, the top floor is used specifically for teppanyaki. The prices were slightly higher for the food that you get, compared to other sushi places I have been to nearby. We ordered the ume box ($ 13.95) and the unagi don ($ 16.95). Both came with a tasty salad and miso soup. The ume box also comes with 3 pieces of cucumber rolls and 3 pieces of sushi rolls. The unagi don was tasty as well, but nothing special. The ume box comes with salmon teppanyaki, rice, 3 pieces of gyoza, a spring roll, and shrimp and vegetable tempura. Again, nothing special.
There are all-​you-​can-​eat options, which we didn’t try. But they didn’t have different lunch and dinner prices. New Generations is probably a better deal for dinner.

2.5 star for food + 0.5 star for effort and services
Welcome New Generation to uptown! Oh this is Vaughan.
Deco is nice and chic with excellent ventilation, quite important as this is a teppanyaki restaurant, too.
There are options though: a la carte or AYCE from $ 23.95 with the option of teppanyaki for $ 6 or so more.
We shared Matsu Sushi Combo ($ 14.95) and Tonkatsu Combo ($ 15.95). Sadly the pork though huge in portion but was so dry, to the point even my Unilocal Friend could not swallow that… Sushi was standard quality, shari rice a little off balance but at least acceptable.
Extra 0.5 star for our server and manager who tried their best to make us happy by offering us some complimentary shrimp tempura.
Since the restaurant just open for less than a week, hopefully it will improve over time.
Lunch special for $ 9.95 and with quite a good menu choice selection! Maybe I come back again for that! I just could not justify paying almost $ 30 to eat here as the food were quite meh!
Service is friendly and attentive.
Grand Opening special 15% off.
PS I remembered when I used to study at U of T and usually visit New Generation and enjoyed their food when I was young and innocent… To be successful up here, they really needs to step up their game!
