The AYCE sushi was good compared to the other sushi places around town, but was AYCE quality as expected (the fish isn't that great, except salmon). The fried items such as tempura and the fried shrimp was what set New Gen apart from other AYCE sushi places. The service was better than most AYCE sushi places, where they ignore you as time goes on. Would recommend if you are looking for AYCE... more

love love love !! I've only been for lunch (multiple times), but there $6.99 options are so vast. Their rolls are great (I recommend the Tempura and the Spicy Salmon) and another of my favourites is the Udon (amazing), the Bento has great value with the chicken kastu done to perfection. From what I hear the bibambap and some of the other rice dishes are really great too. Service is average but... more

If you want AYCE sushi just for the sake of stuffing yourself with sushi, appetizers, and sashimi: go to New Gen. Boyfriend and I love AYCE more than the average person and we can eat A LOT. After hitting up every AYCE sushi on Bloor, New Gen is definitely our favorite now. We went there on a Saturday night which was a full house. Despite it being busy, we got our orders in a timely manner and... more

A fail safe and well established place in the annex. There are two new generation restaurants, one on the north side of bloor which is newer, and the original on the south side of bloor. Some people prefer the original new generation but I like the newer one on the north side because the menu has more Japanese food.

Can't really go wrong with any of the menu items. If you are there early as in... more

I usually make reservations when I come on a weekend evening. The place is usually packed on weekends. However, this AYCE is one of the few that doesn't try to rush you or conveniently forget an order to hint that you should be on your way. The servers are usually very friendly and attentive. Their food is good too. For these reasons, New Gen is my first pick when it comes to AYCE sushi.

It was a full house when I arrived so I had to wait 15 minutes before I got seated. I had my mind set from the get go to order the ayce option because I was really hungry at the time. Usually ayce sushi restaurants provide you with an order sheet for indicating the quantity of each type of food you want. At this particular restaurant they take your order old school style (i.e. the waitress... more

Food was good
Yet service was subpar. Several orders did not go through and this may have been on purpose. Many expensive dishes were not brought. Even when it was brought it took a rather long time.

I love AYCE sushi and thought I'd try this place for dinner.

The food was ok. I didn't like the fact that the rolls had so much rice in them that I was full after a few dishes. I usually like to try a lot of dishes. I don't think I will be going back.

I'm updating this review after about a year and a half. I continue to be impressed by this place. We went again tonight, and they have upgraded the decor with some bare wood lattice and an interesting painted mural. They've done away with the table cooking in favor of more tables and booths. The menu is still extensive and varied, although I still get the #66 Ume Box every time. Service... more

Last night was the first time I've been in this New Gen location. It's sleeker than the other, and there was an intimidating line at Sushi On Bloor so we landed on New Generation after a 30 minute spring stroll towards this almighty strip of cheap sushi.

The decor and AYCE here will definitely get me back her again. Cartoon Godzilla? Cool. $20 all-you-can-eat dinners with a fairly extensive... more

Love this place! The fusion roll is delicious. It's casual and you can't beat the lunch special. Best value for sushi in The Annex. This isn't the place to impress a date, but more of a friend spot- or a spot to grab something quick and delicious on a Tuesday night. I haven't had the other food options other than sushi so can't speak to them. If you want fancier sushi or food there are better... more

One of my favourite sushi standbys. Unreal lunch specials. $6.99 for everything and lots of choices. The quality is always on point too! Great AYCE with a group or regular menu on your own.

I always come back to here!

We went for dinner day and I ordered the makimono set c which came with spicy tuna, unagi and california. The maki were a pretty good size however they were too chewy and the ingredients seemed to be old (yellow avocado???). The spicy tuna itself was the best of all if i had to pick one but i would not say that it was above average.
Overall i would give 2 stars for food

3 stars for... more

Good, Cheap Lunch Special

My SO and I come to this place quite frequently to make the most of the lunch special on offer. You get 32 pieces of sushi/sashimi AND salad and miso soup for $7, which is incredible. The sushi is usually very nice, although there is one sushi chef who isn't very good, but he is rarely working there! We have... more

All you. Can eat is the best deal go 21 bucks. We go hungry there eat as much as we can . The sushi is really great taste. The all u can eat used to be 18 bucks and some times 16 on off hours

New Generation is my go-to for my weekly sushi fix. This newly-renovated location fits perfectly with their improved lunch menu, and now they're offering all you can eat as well. Though I haven't tried the all you can eat yet, I can definitely vouch for the lunch menu - it is definitely the best quality value for your money in Toronto, and the servers are very friendly which is a nice plus.

So it's not called New Generation Fusion anymore, and serves up the same menu as New Gen (the original down the street) wih a fancy all you can eat menu ($21.95)

They fully renovated with sleek modern design reminiscent of Guu but not really. They got rid of the Korean BBQ and the menu is mainly Japanese.

The food is tasty but at a quality that's Bloor street. This isn't to say its not good... more

I never ate here during the Korean Grill days or whatever but I went in when the AYCE sushi started as that is my passion in life. Unfortunately, the owners seem to be crazy and thought it would be acceptable to charge $21 for AYCE during lunch on a weekday so I didn't bother (seriously, lunch is available for $9.99 other places, dinner is available for $16.99 some places, the menu or the... more

Great food, great service, great value

One of our favorite restaurants in town. Their bento boxes are huge, great value for the price - often my husband & I will split the grill bento and *still* have food left over. Sushi is good, if not very innovative - mostly the standard rolls and sashimi, but still quite tasty. They also offer Korean BBQ at your table,... more

Went there last night as a group of 4 adults. Service was fast and very friendly, the restaurant wasn't very busy as it was after 10:30pm so we were seated right away nice and far from the front door. We had a bento box, some sushi/sashimi and a veggie udon soup. I received an unexpected complimentary green salad and miso soup with my rainbow maki! We were there up until midnight and despite... more

Great food- super friendly service

The menu selection is great and very vegetarian friendly. We tried a variety of dishes and we're quite pleased. The staff was very accomodating and answered all questions. Only complaint was the table was not so comfortable as to allow for the grill.

The hubby and I have been going to New Generation (original location aka "MurderGen" - on account of the murder and all) for years until the kid came along and now we're yearning for more space but refuse to defect and go to that bastard location Sushi on Bloor - so we checked out this new location aptly now dubbed "Non-MurderGen".

As far as the food goes, Non-MurderGen is pretty on par with... more

They have an amazing grill buffet! It is a great date night idea because it is a lot of fun! The regular menu is also very good. I go here regularly and I have never been disappointed. The bento box is a great and cheap meal. I usually switch the basic sushi that comes with it for the Unagi or Spicy Salmon. The salad dressing is also the best I have ever had at a sushi restaurant! Always an... more

This is my favorite sushi restaurant, it has the same great food as New Generation across the street, PLUS Korean grill and the lineup here is always shorter.

I've only had their Korean grill food once or twice, but I've had their rainbow rolls and teriyaki chicken (with the thick sauce) many times and always been satisfied.

Too bad they don't have a third New Generation out in Mississauga or... more

Great Atmosphere, and fantastic food. Totally loved it. Ordered the crystal sashimi plate--so big I couldn't finish it! Four stars!

All you can eat!!!! This was the highlight of my vacation. This place has Korean BBQ and sushi. Best combination ever!!!!! If we were waiting for the meat to come to our table or wait till it is cooked, we would eat the raw salmon while we wait. for desert there was a selection of red bean, green tea, or mango ice cream. YUM!!!! This place is good!!!!

If I had to sum this place up in two words, it would be inconsistent and random. I was drawn into this place based on the hype of their sister company, New Generation Sushi. We were craving sushi, and lets face it, the Annex is filled with tons of random sushi joints. But if I could get my Korean fix while I'm at it, then why not.

The inconsistencies I'm referring to was mostly with our miso... more

Much like many of the other Korean BBQ joints in town, New Gen's take on AYCE grill is busy! Maybe it was just me, but I didn't think that it was as smelly here as many of the other places. Perhaps this is because we were sitting right by the door and the constant line-up kept the cold air flowing which wafted the intense aroma out.

It's admittedly been years since I've visited any other... more

Went here for the $5.99 lunch specials. Salmon teriyaki, chicken teriyaki, grilled chicken/beef and some California rolls was ordered. We found the teriyaki sauce too sweet for our palette - our salmon and chicken were swimming in the sauce. Miso soup a bit too watery. Other than that the portions were sufficient, tons of rice, fast service since it wasn't very busy and cheap!

Their regular... more

I'm trying to be as unbiased as possible, considering that I am not a Korean BBQ fan (not of this variety, anyhow). I came here with 3 other friends who were taking part in the AYCE meat-fest, and so I opted for one of my regular orders of sushi, the Ume Box, from the original New Gen.

To try and convince the server that I was there to have sushi, and not partake in the grill portion was a bit... more

New Generation Grill Fusion... New Generation Sushi... this gives me the same sensation of 'a Starbucks across from a Starbucks' that you find in some large cities (probably somewhere in Toronto as well). You feel as if you should be able to step into some kind of time-warp... anyways, moving on.

I have only ever been for the all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ lunch special (slap the word 'lunch' or... more

Great taste for an even better price. The Assorted Bibimbap is the best value.

This review is only for the "Sushi" part of the menu.

How does a restaurant owned by the same people, with the same menu, and the same prices be so different?

We passed by New Generation down the street, and didn't feel like witing in line [a line that always seems to be there ... take that as a hint people]. I remembered that New Gen Fusion had the same menu, so we decided to try it out.

It's interesting to see other reviews that were very positive including it being "the best korean grill in town" cause I thought it was absolutely the worst.

To it's credit, I like the physical grills there. They were hot, and cooked fast.

Not in it's favour:
- Innattentive staff
- Slow service
- Portions of meat brought to the table were very small. Yes it's all you can eat. But when the... more

I went there for lunch on a Tuesday. Not that busy around 1:00pm. They have a decent lunch menu for $5.99 which includes miso soup and green salad. The miso was a bit watery and the green salad was cut up lettuce and dressing.

I order the bento box with chicken (or beef) and it was a decent size. It was sliced chicken instead of the usual slab. The bento came with rice, veg tempura and 3... more

Finally managed to get our hear for some Korean BBQ last week. It was actually the first time for a lot of us, so I don't have anything to compare it to. I will say that the staff was friendly and the food was delicious.

Sadly, most of my dining companions weren't particularly adventurous, so I didn't get the chance to try some of the more interesting items (squid, liver, etc.). There's... more

In a neighbourhood which already boasts some impressive restaurants and bars, New Generation Fusion Grill really manages to stand out.

This Korean grill house has a very clean look and feel in addition to the friendly staff as previously mentioned. The food itself really sells the place and has a decent alcohol selection.

Definitely worth the trip every time.

Best Korean Grill in Toronto. Don't miss out stop here if your in the area.

Food is great. Atmosphere is super nice and super clean. Staff are all so pleasant. A lot of the girls who work there are pretty cute too! (Bonus) :P

Bottom line, go eat there next time your planning Korean food!

Korean food, a bit too oily

Great Kimchi, great Spring Roll appetizers, great service. The All You Can Eat grill is awesome and at $14.95 per

Great Kimchi, great Spring Roll appetizers, great service. The All You Can Eat grill is awesome and at $14.95 per person definitely worth doing again and again. They have A La Carte but I have never tried it, I just keep going back for the Burning Pit of Meat (and veggies for those non-carnivores).
