A very enjoyable "All You Can Enjoy" restauirant

I go to this restaurant frequently. The food is fresh and is great value. The staff is friendly. Women enjoy the private rooms. It is kid friendly. If you do not want uncooked food, do not order items marked as "raw".

Definitely a winner. Private rooms are a pleasant bonus. Food is great, flavourful and delicious. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable about products. Their plum wine is my favorite drink and accompanies their sashimi and sushi wonderfully. Will continue to return.

Great sushi place, lots of options, always fresh and they never overload the sushi with rice. The customer service is great and they remember and appreciate regular customer. Won't go anywhere else for sushi!

Well I forgot to write up my review yesterday when I had dinner here...so let's get started.

This is my usual go-to place whenever I wanted sushi as its all you can eat. My hubby and I love the tempura mushroom sushi roll, which is why we always go to this place...usually for this.

The food here is pretty good for an AYCE, the kalbi that night was so tender and yummy. I had 2 pieces of... more

This place has gone down in service. It appears to be under new management and this is the 3rd conservative time we have had bad service. The food is still similar but not the same. It's like they don't want to staff the restaurant properly. The other 168 franchise have up it game. Gone with ipads and we'll staffed.

Being cheaper than other sushi buffets in GTA - I was expecting lower quality food, but it turns out that the food is really good and overall better than most Ive been too.

Their beef is really tender and flavourful. Deep fried items really crispy and not overly greasy/soggy. They even have fresh Shu mai which was a surprise as I was expecting the cheap frozen ones, but it was just as good as... more

What makes this place stand out from other sushi restaurant is the private rooms!

It deffinately has that Japanese feel to it. As for the food no complaints what so ever! So far everything that I've tried from here I been satisfied with! Especially the crab rolls and the shrimp tempura.

Only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is because it can be expensive.. for 2 people it cost approx... more

The private rooms are great.

The staff are friendly and accommodating.

The sushi, um, not so much BUT it's always a safe choice for me to go to this sushi joint. I'd rate the sushi 6/10. The sashimi 5/10. They have dine in, take out and delivery. I've dined in here and also had delivery.

I love coming here. If you call ahead of time, you can reserve a private room... up to 8 people. there are only 6 of these rooms.
The location in Mississauga on Dundas St does not offer these rooms.

Food is good. Sushi quality is better than normal AYCE expectations. They also have some kitchen specials; stir fry and dim sums.

I find the servers are much better here.

Lots of parking.

Good food for the price. Worth a try just for their signature items. Avoid the pad Thai though. One thing was for sure, their service was better than most AYCE sushi places. For once, we actually got all the things we ordered, and the numbers didn't get messed up!

I use to enjoy this restaurant, that being said I was young and favoured quantity or quality. The inconsistency is the only consistency. Way too much rice in the sushi, you will get full quick if you are not mindful. Some items on the menu are not too bad, such as the chicken dishes and tempura. All in all I think my last visit will be my last visit.

I have only had good experiences ordering from the Brampton location. Glad we found this place. The spicy beef is amazing and so are the mixed vegetables. I usually order avocado/cucumber rolls which are very fresh and taste very good. Price is reasonable for the rolls also. The phad thai was okay. Have had better but liked that they include the fried soy and some veggies. It is a little heavy... more

LOVE THIS PLACE!

It's always busy, and food is always good. Great sushi selection, quick service, fresh.

The only bad thing I have to say is that the Chinese food/ rice and noodle dishes (stuff that isn't your standard sushi place sides like seaweed salad and tempura and miso soup) aren't that good, go to a Chinese place for that stuff. The teriyaki salmon and spare ribs and Shanghai noodles... more

I forced my husband to go for sushis. He is not a fan of sushi so I wanted him to try from a place that had good reviews. So I choose sushi buffet, thinking in a buffet one can experiment with food. However, this place had a very expensive bigger and on to of that if you don't eat anything they charge you for that.

I used to love this sushi restaurant, but I feel like it's gone seriously downhill. I've ordered for delivery and eaten in the restaurant before:

In restaurant - fish is declining in quality and service is worse. It takes forever for your order to come out (and this is with two sushi chefs and an almost empty restaurant). The service is efficient if not exactly friendly. I've come back several... more

I have been going to this restaurant since it opened in December 2006. Since then staff and managers have come and gone; however, my opinion has not changed. It is still a very good neighbourhood AYCE restaurant. Over the years, I have tried numerous sushi joints across the Province. Some have been slightly better than Japan Buffet, some have been similar and others have been worse. Some sushi... more

Disclaimer - I ordered delivery, so I didn't visit the restaurant.

Dear God, no - just no. If you're stuck at a local hotel and thinking about using this place for delivery, let me tell you it's a bad idea.

Ordered: miso soup, Gym Roll, Pink Lady Roll

I used to be a huge fan and would visit almost every week. This is actually where I fell in love with sushi after a friend brought me here. Unfortunately, the last time I was here the food was just horrible and unacceptable. I'm not sure if quality is no longer a priority or there are different chefs now but I will never come back. Judging from previous reviews, it seems this place has taken a... more

Management/ownership must've changed in the past year or so, as this place is not what it used to be. If I had written this review over a year ago, I would have given it 5 stars. However, now the food is not as good/fresh as it used to be, and they also started charging for soda. I used to loooove their spicy salmon crisp but they seem to use less of something because it's so dry now. The... more

Okay that one star take it as a negative. So far worst sushi restaurant i had even been too. Hey! owner of this restaurant. Go back to basics, reevaluate what you are serving, it sucks. The sushi rice were worse then even steamed rice at your cheap local asian restaurants. If you can't even get the basics like the rice right, how can you expect your food to be good?

By far one of the worst sushi restaurants I've ever been to. The beef and momo's had a burnt aftertaste. The miso soup was plain water with some sprinklings of seasoning which I'd just left. Must've had half their sushi menu.

For a sushi restaurant the rice used for the sushi was absolute horrible. No tannin, no flavour. The tempura had like everything else absolute no taste or flavour. The... more

The service is pretty bad even for a sushi place (they're generally all pretty bad). I've been here many times and so many things we ordered simply never showed up. Also not the type of place where anyone will ever check to see how things are ever.

For $20 this place was awesome. Went here for dinner and I'm glad I did because as a beginner when it comes to sushi, I only really like the salmon and cheese rolls and they only have cheese rolls on their dinner menu. I didn't venture out and try anything else really lol! But I went kind of wild on the dessert. The icecream was amazing, the asian version of Kawartha Dairy. It was the best ice... more

Let me start off by saying that I am by no means a novice sushi-eater and I prefer going to small a la carte restaurants over buffets. However, 168 is the only buffet I will go to. Their menu is extensive and includes items that most other buffets omit (soft shell crab maki and handrolls are prime examples). The staff are fast and food comes out as soon as it can.

I love 168 Sushi. The food is wonderful. They are friendly.

The only down fall is you dont always get what you order. You need to make sure you remember what you have ordered because they did bring me someone else's orders a few times.

My boyfriend and I just moved to Brampton from the Niagara region and have been attempting to find our new "sushi place". These attempts had led us to try out 168 sushi and their lunch menu.

First the noodle soup, both the Tom yum and... more

168 was one of the first sushi places in Brampton, which meant no competition. The first few years they had decent service and decent food, but it seems as the years progressed the food there has suffered.
