Tatami Sushi

We came here for some dinner as we were in the area running some errands and finished really late. We were too full to do AYCE so we just ordered some a la carte stuff. Basically we just ordered their medium platter with mixed sushi, maki and sashimi.
The sushi was not too bad, but the rice to fish portion was not very good. too much rice!
The maki was average, nothing really spectacular about them. The sashimi I will say are pretty fresh, and I did enjoy that. Their rice didn’t have vinegar in them though so overall it’s average if you want some sushi, but I wouldn’t necessarily come here for a la carte sushi. maybe for AYCE.

I’ve eaten here a few times, and every time I would feel that there was something I did not like about their sushi… The rice is too sweet. I think they put a bit too much sugar in the rice. The shrimp tempura is not as crispy as I would like.
I like the chicken teriyaki and rice dishes. I love how they have har gow there for when I’m craving it alongside my sushi. Staff is pleasant.

I stopped in here last minute with my Mom because she was starving & it looked like the best option for our situation. To keep this review nice & short. I don’t plan on coming back.
We ordered off the menu, not the AYCE. I got a sushi dinner with miso soup & salad. My Mother got a bunch of appetizers. My sushi dinner was not the best. The fish didn’t taste/​look fresh. My Mom said her food was fine.
The service was super attentive. Almost to the point of annoying.
Overall I don’t plan on coming back.

One of my favourite ayce sushi spots.
Definitely up there in my list. My favourite items to order are; seared sashimi, spicy salmon & spicy scallop hand rolls, beef & chicken teriyaki, black pepper beef (favourite), miso soup, and green tea & red bean ice cream.
Service is fast and friendly.
Price is reasonable
Recently changed the menu! Added lots, like takoyaki (octopus balls) and nacho sushi (a Pringle with sashimi bits on top). But took away a few items (like the volcano roll).
Not a sushi expert, but I’ve had a fair experience of ayce spots around the GTA.

Today was not a good day for the following:
— poor service
— charging extra for tea that used to be free
— not getting things we ordered in a timely fashion (do I really want beef with dessert?)
— serving every other ice cream at lunch except chocolate… apparently chocolate is just for dinner time.
FAIL TATAMI FAIL!

I hate to dock these guys a star, but I returned for supper with my girlfriend on Thursday and was left disappointed. To put it simply, Tatami is cutting back.
THE GOOD:
— Service is still on point. We placed our order and our food came out almost instantly — it was like magic.
— I do enjoy their food — a lot. Their BC Roll with cream cheese continues to steal my heart. We tried the Pork Steamed Dumplings for the first time, which were also a hit: meaty and succulent. And make sure you leave room for dessert because the mousses and puddings are bomb.
THE BAD:
— No more unlimited tea included in the price. I know, I know — it’s just $ 1 extra for tea — but why? I used to love having that big ol’ teapot ready at my fingertips when I was ready for another cup. Now I’m being charged extra, and I have to pester them everytime I want a refill.
— They downgraded the chopsticks. The sleek, black tools of wonder from the past have been replaced with sliver-​inducing bad boys — the kind you chuck in the garbage after your meal.
— I love me some fried bananas at AYCE, but these were underwhelming and smaller than the size of my thumb.
Tatami, why you gotta cheap out like this? I’ll probably still come back due to the convenience of the location for me — and the fact that there are no other AYCE alternatives nearby — but don’t think that these changes have gone unnoticed!

Tatami is one of the best AYCE sushi places I have been to. The food is always super fresh and very flavorful, very important qualities when talking about sushi. My favorite dishes are the pepper beef, fried rice, and any and all of the sushi and sashimi.
The servers are very attentive and the food is always delivered quickly. It does sometimes get busy so if you have a big group, make a reservation, I suggest reserving one of the big middle tables– they are great for bug groups and make the experience even more fun.
Now that I’ve gone through all of the positives the only things I wouldn’t recommend are the ramen dishes and the udon noodles, they aren’t very flavorful and not really worth filling up on.
All in all this is an amazing AYCE place with great service and a really nice atmosphere. I would highly recommend it!

Went for the first time a for lunch was so busy but the food was delicious. the waiter was very helpful and the environment was clean and modern

I’ve been here numerous times only because I live 5 min away and my favourite sushi place is outside of Scarborough. Every time I come here I end up leaving unsatisfied and wonder why I paid so much $$ for AYCE sushi.
Positive:
1. Service is fast and good every time I come
2. The atmosphere is nice. Classy decorations and great seating for large parties.
3. Sashimi is fantastic.
4. Their desserts are great.
Negative:
1. They do not give you tea but instead water. Very strange for a sushi place.
2. They stuff too much cucumber in their sushi and use it as a filler instead of giving you more fish. The type of rice they use fills you up faster than it should.
3. Their soups are waaayyyy too salty. I feel like the broth is watered down soy sauce.
4. For the quality of food you’re getting this place is way over priced.

Been past this restaurant but never tried it out so decided to try it their lunch ayce.
Great parts:
1. Their grilled meats are really delicious. Grilled beef ribs smokey flavoured… yum!
2. Service is great. At least our server. One male server actually bowed to us as we left the restaurant and thanked us with a smile. He BOWED… You don’t get service like that unless you really go to Japan or Korea. I think the guy was Chinese and Chinese are known for their rudeness not manners. So props to this guy.
3. Their ice cream was really really good. It is the high quality type with very high fat content. You could tell by the hardness of the ice cream. It finished the meal with a high note.
4. Ayce for 13 $ on a weekday lunch is a terrific price. What great value!
The Bad:
The udon and ramen was really bad. I recall it was some salty consume with noodles. Nothing else. The ramen wasn’t even ramen… It was the cheap Chinese thin egg noodles. They should really just remove it from their menu if they are not going to put any effort into making actual food. Fried scallops were also mushy and not very appetizing.
Overall it was a positive experience, and I’ll know what items in their menu to avoid next time around.

I’ve been to Tatami several times over the last year and it seems the service level is declining each time I visit. Last week I went with a friend of mine for a business lunch catch up. The Maki rolls were alright, not the best but for the price… I’ll take it. A few dishes didn’t arrive, as per usual but that seems to be their thing. The service on the other hand… horrid.
We sat for 10 mins before someone even acknowledged us after the host sat us. When the server came by to take our order she barked at us multiple times regarding our order «Is this what you want or not». Lastly she all but threw the plates on the table. Clearly she was having a bad day, as we sometimes do, but really? The saving grace was a young chap working there that was very customer facing and polite.
I won’t be back simply because there are many fantastic sushi restaurants in the city. Bye bye Tatami, it was a slice that never arrived. :)

I took my boyfriend here for a last minute date because I was in town. I’ve been here a few times and I wasn’t disappointed. We ordered quite a lot of food and they had no problem bringing them over. In the past, I’ve had them forget some of my dishes. However, even though it was very busy by the time we came, they remembered everything. The staff was very polite and accommodating. And the food was good as always.
I recommend the fried rice and the green dragon roll. Those are always my go to items and I always get seconds. If you have room for dessert, I recommend the green tea ice cream. The portions there are a little small for dessert but I guess it’s because how many people can actually leave room for it after they eat dinner here.
However, do not order any alcohol other than perhaps sake. The cocktails are really watered down and they have put too much ice when serving beers.

They have a pretty consistent service every time we go here. Atmosphere is good, the staff is nice, they have a good and wide variety in their menu. One of our favorite eat all you can place.

This was the first time i had gone to an all you can eat sushi and I would definitely go back to this place again.
The atmosphere was very neat and beautiful. Most importantly the sushi was really good. The shrimp tempura was a little bland but still edible. The miso soup was tasteful as well.
The waitress that served us was exceptionally helpful. As this was my first time going to an AYCE sushi, i was still not familiar with some of the items on the menu. However, the waitress was able to answer all my questions and was very patient although it was very busy.

Service: extremely fast and reasonably friendly
Appetizers: I had Edamame, pork katsu and gyoza. They were all pretty good
Sushi: was a little disappointed. The mackeral sushi was very tender. The salmon sushi was also tender and not chewy. However the salmon sushi was small. I also feel the rice was lacking.
Rolls: I got spicy salmon and spicy white tuna rolls. They were okay. Just a little small.
Overall I would say it was a positive experience even if the sushi wasn’t amazing.

I’ve been here many times and the quality is pretty consistent. The sushi is ok, the sashimi is pretty good. The rolls are not good. The black pepper beef is excellent! In general, this is a good all you can eat Japanese restaurant.

AYCA Sushi is my weekend must-​have, and Tatami Sushi is definitely in the top ten of my Weekend AYCA Sushi list. I had better AYCE Sushi with better quality, but the combination of very fast food service, a decent menu with a lot of options, and good price ($ 14.99 for lunch in weekend) of Tatami Sushi makes it outstanding.
Tatami Sushi located in a huge shopping plaza with plenty free parking. My boyfriend and I arrived around 2:00 Sunday afternoon, and we had no trouble finding parking at all. Tatami Sushi has a pretty big dinning area, and we only waited couple minutes for our table.
Compared with other AYCE whose menu is very small and has only limited items, Tatami Sushi has a very good lunch menu, including seaweed salad which is the favorite of my boyfriend, more than 15 different Sushi, and all kinds of noodle and reman. Of course, their noodle is AYCE level quality, but I still feel satisfied considering how much money I paid for it.
I would say Tatami Sushi has a pretty FAST service. We handed in our order, and one minute later miso soup, and salad were on our table already. Other things came very fast too. However, they did missed two items on our order but I will give it a pass because we kinda ordered too much and wouldn’t be able to finish all of them anyway.

I have now been here several times since this place first opened a couple years ago. This is definitely not one of my favourite AYCE sushi places.
I do enjoy the décor and set up and they have a couple of seating area that would seat a good 12 people in each, should such a large group come by.
But I find that the sushi is not always consistent. Sometimes fresh fish, sometimes not to so fresh. The menu for the weekend dinner is large, but it’s almost too much. They have beef steak and beef teriyaki with no explanation as to the difference. Most places sell a beef teriyaki that is a sliced beef «steak» in tereyaki sauce. This place sells beef tereyaki which is shredded, with tereyaki spices and looks like it should be in a Philly cheesesteak sandwich.
They have tea cups, but serve you water and don’t mention tea at all. The dinner on a Friday night comes out to $ 28 and change for an adult with tax (PRICEY!!) and they charge extra for soft drinks. Although why anyone wants to drink soda with sushi is beyond me, but apparently people do this.
I’m often surprised this place has lasted as long as it has. But then I recall that this part of Toronto is sorely lacking is decent-​great sushi options and this is the only AYCE sushi house in this particularly neighbourhood.

The only times I have gone here is on my lunch break, because I work close by and it helps give me that Japanese satisfaction when Teriyaki in Eglinton Square just isn’t enough.
To be honest, there’s a lot more better Japanese AYCE places, but it does what it does for me. The service is good though, but the food is just really … Eh.

Nice restaurant. Sushi was great enjoyed every bit of it.
Staff are friendly and on stand to get your next round of order.
All you can eat is well worth it. Definitely go there again :)
