Wakame Sushi

It’s a hit or miss at this location. Sometimes the food is good and at others it’s mediocre and the fish doesn’t taste or smell fresh. I always get the all you can eat buffet and the food is ok for the low pricing. However they don’t have the best sushi and the servers are rude and kind of throw your food on the table. The only time they speak to you is when they bring out the debit machine for you to pay and they put a fake smile on for a tip. I once overheard the server raise her voice with the customer at the table next to us because he left her a low tip.

Oh Wakame… what happened?! you guys used to have such good quality. I notice once you guys expanded it went downhill.
I had not gone to Wakame Suhsi for over a year or so (This used to be my go to Sushi join). I decides to take someone I know who is not a fan of sushi (to convert them lol) and was so embarrassed that I did.
The sushi was pretty much falling apart and not staying intact. There was hardly any fish on the sushi and maki rolls, and quality of the rice was not good.
Lets not forget the servers are just plan rude lol Everyone who has dined here knows that ;)

Staff is rude — I used to come here every now and then but decided to write them off. I was introduced to this new place called Shitake Sushi — so far so good ! Service and food are great.

Gross. Nothing was fresh. We got the Osaka sushi from the regular menu because we weren’t staying long and I’m glad we didn’t get all you can eat. The salmon, octopus, shrimp, and even imitation crab meat wasn’t fresh. I don’t know if it’s because it wasn’t busy. I would have given it one star, but I gave an extra star for the nice atmosphere and furniture. Bottom line, go somewhere else.

First of all Do Not Take advantage of a holiday to put your prices up !!!
GREEDY!!!
I went there for Valentines Day with my boyfriend looking forward to the all you can eat lunch for him and the lunch bento box for me.
When we arrived there was a letter put up at the entrance saying «No lunch menu will be served, only dinner menu available to order»
Therefore, they were charging dinner prices for lunch!!! And making patrons have to pay for it, because no one was going to turn around with their date and not eat.
I felt this was extremely greedy on there end.
On top of that my boyfriend paid in cash and he was expecting change back so that he could select how much to tip.
Well the waitress took the money and never came back with the change!
I will not be coming back to this place again, primarily because of there work ethics and how they decided to profit from there customers. But also because the «dinner» I choose was not at all as good as the lunch would of been and it was the same size… Smh…

Visited here for lunch since I was in the area and I was optimistic to try this sushi place with mixed reviews.
It was awful and absolutely disappointing. Ordered from the A La Carte menu — Chirashi, Spicy Salmon Maki, Mushroom Maki and Vegetable Udon in Soup.
Chirashi was not fresh — the sashimi tasted like it was frozen and thawed to serve in other words it was not fresh. The Spicy Salmon Maki was meh, tasted strange and unlike any other I’ve had. Portion of the salmon is generous aside from that there was nothing impressive.
My friend ordered the noodles and asked for no onions but was served with onions. The broth tasted weird too and lacked any flavour whatsoever. She asked for no wasabi and ginger with her Mushroom Maki and it came with both. Our server was not apologetic and we had to get a hold of her to inform her each time of the mistakes.
Upon receiving the bill, we told our server the Spicy Salmon Maki tasted strange and wasn’t fresh but her «reason» was there was nothing she could do about taste. The strange flavour could be due to the lack of freshness of the sashimi but how they store their sashimi. Who knows but if I get an upset stomach over this, I know where to point the blame to. I left upset and regretful that I wasted my time there.
I would rate this ⁰⁄₅ stars if I could. Don’t come here for sushi unless you want to waste your money. Not sure what others are saying about this place!

Came here for weekend lunch with a friend. Sushi was a bit average to below average because the sushi rice was a bit hard and warm. Fish quality on the sushi was also average to below average. Cooked food was good. Cooked food came first but sushi was a bit slow to come out for some reason. We were the second table of the day, and yet other people got their rolls first.
Tobiko sushi had like a tiny bit of tobiko, and it had basically no taste.
Not as expensive as some other places, so I guess that justifies the quality a little bit.
Quality: ⁵⁄₁₀. Service ⁷⁄₁₀. Value: ⁶⁄₁₀. Overall: 5.5÷10 (not an average).

We usually come here once a month and used to enjoy it, however our last experience changed our minds. The tuna tataki sushi had bones in it… yes you read that right; bones about 2 inches long! My cousin cut his mouth on it and they came up with excuses saying they order their tuna so they have no control of the bones. How can a sushi chef not see this? Also, another issue that put us off is that their chicken skewer was bloody. It was fully cooked but red inside. We won’t be going back.

Happened to be in the plaza here at Weston Road and Hwy 401 and realized it was getting on in the afternoon and had yet to eat lunch! Unacceptable! What was also unacceptable was that it appeared my only lunch options in this plaza were Timmy-Ho’s and McDonalds.
Not satisfied I drove around the back of the plaza and came upon Wakame Sushi — what luck. I’m typically a little reluctant to do sushi in strange plazas but I was hungry and knew sushi would be better for me than a Big Mac (resolutions remember).
Walked in and the space is deceivingly large and very long. I would guess somewhere in the 75 – 125 seats. It was fairly empty with only a half dozen tables also grabbing a late lunch. The offer both AYCE lunch and dinner, as well as a la carte sushi. Normally I’m hands down an AYCE guy, but I’m tired of feeling like I have to eat everything rather than wanting to eat what I order, so I opted for a la carte and ordered the Sushi + Sashimi Tokyo combo and subbed out the standard salad and california roll (the worlds most pointless roll ever) for a seaweed salad and spicy tuna roll (at a out $ 2/​substitution).
Within seconds a sizable bowl of Miso soup and Seaweed salad were presented to me as well as green tea and water. Perfect. The miso soup was pretty much as you would expect but it did have quite a bit more green and tofu which I really enjoyed, and the seaweed salad was amazing — standard in taste but there was something much better about both the temperature (meaning not frozen) and the texture. Full points on each!
Before I could finish my soup and salad my main was brought to me and my eyes lit up! Finally a place that gives you SASHIMI when you order SASHIMI (not sashimi…). Three 1″-1.5″ thick slices each of Salmon, Surf clam, Red Tuna, white fish, and red snapper — I honestly haven’t seen such thick cuts of fish in ages! As well even the sushi assortment (crab, salmon, red tuna, red snapper, etc) were perfectly formed and not skimpy on the fishy! They always say you can tell good sushi by the rice and the rice here was easily one of the best around I’ve had in awhile. Lastly the subbed in spicy tuna roll was done perfectly, separate and identifiable portions of both chopped red tuna and spicy tempura were present in six well sized pieces of maki roll, and the taste — so fresh, so crunchy and delicious!
There isn’t much more to say, that hasn’t been said already, this is truly a hidden gem and if you’re in the area tell McDicks to take a McHike and spend your dollar bills at Wakame!
Eatcrest Out

I’m so glad this place opened up. I’ve been longing for an AYCE sushi place that’s not too far from where I live, and my prayers have been answered.
The quality of the sushi rolls are quite good. They don’t load you up on rice, and the portions are quite nice for AYCE. There’s plenty of seating, and the service is good.
I do wish there was more variety but it’s a lot better than other competing AYCE sushi places in the GTA.

Today I went with my boyfriend here and we had an okay time. Pros of this place — the dynamite California and seaweed salad was really good and shrimp tempura and spring rolls
Cons — the calamari tempura was too raw and chewy, the hand roll they put too much mayo. In one of my rolls the avocado was no good and the water was bitter but what really made me disappointed is that the only dragon roll they don’t have is the green one the lunch menu
The staff is not really friendly too. won’t be going back for sure

Food is good.
Limited beef options.
Décor is nice & music is awesome.
Not pricey for AYCE
Washroom needs better lighting & service was quick and very friendly.

First time visiter & loved every part of this sushi place. Had «All you can eat» (great value for money), quick service & pleasant waitresses. Would go again… hopefully soon.

I really enjoy this sushi. The prices are right!
Delivery is fast and everything tastes fresh.
Consistent

I’m loving this place more every time I go. This is I think the 3^rd time now. First times were AYCE, this time just popped in for a-​la-​carte. Had the red dragon roll and the kamikaze roll — both were phenomenal, nice and fresh. Also had a miso eggplant appetizer — very unique, and quite nice! For the appetizer, 2 sets of rolls, bottomless pop, and green tea, came to $ 20 with the 10% cash discount. That’s pretty good value, considering the high quality of the food, and that fed 2 people (admittedly on the lighter side of a meal, but that’s what we were going for). AYCE I think is $ 21 or $ 22 pp — not really worth it unless you’re a ravenous teenager or a ravenous glutton (hmm. is there a such thing as a non-​ravenous glutton?). Anyways, those days are behind me (the teenage ones anyways. I’m still a glutton at times).
Other notables — it’s got a lot of tables (though still fills up but no trouble getting seats), it’s clean, and service is fast and attentive. I can’t think of a single thing wrong with this visit. Oh, wait, okay — the wasabi is slightly on the not-​spicy-​enough side, but I kind of liked that actually (I often unintentionally overspice my soy sauce elsewhere resulting in some hot flashes and/​or tears).
Ok enough rambling — it’s a 5 people. If you’re in the area, check them out. Not many sushi places in this neck of the woods (Weston/​401) but very easy to get off the 401 so if you’re driving by and have a hankering, pop on in.

I used this place for sit AYCE and did a simple take out as well. The place is very nice and has a lot of seating.
Well we walked as a team of 5 to indulge in AYCE and it came up to around $ 100 after tips and taxes. The service was really and the menu had nice variety to it. Their fish tasted, looked and felt fresh! The pace of food coming out was good as well.
On an other day I had a small take out order for Butterfish sashimi. This comes with 3 pieces but to my surprised these were very thick pieces and very fresh and tasty.
This here is a decent restaurant with good service and fresh fish!

This was the worst sushi I’ve had. The sushi tasted like detergent, the ingredients were not fresh at all, and the service was awful.
Waitresses are not welcoming at all, they just want to get you in and out (they’re not even a busy place).
I will not be coming here again and I do not recommend anyone coming here. The sushi tasted like detergent most likely due to poor hygiene conditions (not rinsing properly).
Extremely overpriced for the quality of the food and service at this restaurant.

For the area, Wakame sushi is probably one of the best options in terms of dining. Their beef teriyaki dinner is my ordering out or delivery go-​to with a green dragon roll and tempura shrimp.
When I eat in-​restaurant, I do the all you can eat. It’s worth it for the variety and most of their stuff is really tasty. This is a great spot to get some satisfying dishes for a good price. You won’t regret eating there. Their tempura yams and yellow dragon rolls are delicious as well.
Downside? I mean, it’s no blow-​your-​mind sushi spot but it’s worth the price. Sometimes the dine-​in waitresses forget parts of your order, but I find that tends to happen at every all-​you-​can-​eat sushi spot.
I order from them all the time and will continue to do so. That beef teriyaki is wonderful. Order the dinner meal and not the lunch though; the lunch comes with a thinner sliced beef which isn’t as tasty.

Average AYCE sushi place with decent prices. The place isn’t too busy so I’ve never had to wait for a table. The service is decent. They put too much rice for the nigiri I find and it’s often pretty dry. The sashimi isn’t cut evenly either, with a larger piece on one end.
Tip: 10% off when paying by cash, but everyone at the table has to pay by cash for the discount.

A friend took me to this place while I was traveling for business. It is a bit away from any main street and it is at the far end of a strip mall.
The service was fast some waitress were friendly some less.
This is an all you can eat place so you pick from a menu and they bring it to you. You can also order a la carte.
You get a lot to choose from and some better than other. Unfortunately the rolls are cut a little big so it makes it hard to eat them. We also tried deep fried California rolls and it was the worst thing ever.
The general tao and the sesame chicken had the exact same taste and sauce the only difference one had sesame on it.
The tempura veggies were pretty blend and not very crispy. One thing was very amazing was one of the sushi with mango (cant remember the name) and a piece of salmon with a glazed sauce on it.
Overall it was good but not the best all you can eat sushi I have been too but I would love to go back to try a few more things
