My friend suggested this place and I was rather impressed. It's all you can eat, it's large and they will even let you order from the Dinner menu at lunch (for an up-charge). The service was friendly and the sushi was fresh, but to drive all the way from downtown to Barrhaven is quite a trek. But if you live in the area, then it's great to have a place like this nearby.
It's a generic sushi buffet. I wouldn't recommend this one over any of the other ones that's I've tried in Ottawa but it's not worse than most others either. It doesn't have the electronic ordering system which I find more convenient, service can be spotty when it's busy, but it has a pretty good selection. I go because it's convenient and all the other buffets I've tried haven't proven to be worth the effort to drive farther
Ordered online for delivery. Got 50pc sushi and tempura vegetables for only $40. What a great price in my opinion. Sushi was all amazing but the tempura was a bit soggy. I don't blame the restaurant for this because what do you expect when you order deep fried food for delivery. My only suggestion would be for the restaurant to put better descriptions on what rolls are included in combos but definitely a would recommend as take out
Good food. Servers got mixed up a bit on our orders. Service was fast.

My Favorite Sushi Place!. One of the very best AUCE sushi places in Ottawa (Barrhaven location). Fresh ingredients, unique selection of maki rolls and attractive presentation. Dinner is the absolute best with large selection of seafood. Enough seating for large groups and no time limit pressure. A must have is 1,000 Islands Roll.
Good rolls - other menu items are "meh". I was pleasantly surprised with the presentation of the larger rolls (ex: Dynamite). A lot of AYCE sushi places in Ottawa, I find, cheap out on those rolls but not this place. Dim sum was also good, however other items on the menu are very hit and miss. Oysters were not worth it - mostly batter and hardly any actual oyster. Meat was on the dry side. And don't bother with the soba/udon - it's basically water - even if you ask for the spicy kind they just put sriracha on top and call it spicy.
I did enjoy the rolls and had one very attentive and nice waitress. So overall, it was a good experience with some hit & miss items.
Went for the first time and was pleasantly surprised at the attentiveness of the staff although they should know more about the food they are serving. The food was great...the atmosphere was good...clean bathrooms (always a plus)!
Overall had a great time and will definitely go back!
I see a lot of people have already said exactly what I think
amazing sushi, but god awful service. Its been a bit better lately but is still hit and miss. Personally I never forsake a restaurant because of the service, I'm there for the food.
Consistently good. My family and I come here for sushi on a regular basis and its consistently good. The service is fast (for an ACE sushi establishment) and the rice to fish ratio is good. Most other ACE sushi places in Ottawa have too much rice on their sushi. They also have a great selection of ice cream- black sesame is a must try!

Some of the Best I've Had for AYCE. We have now been to 1000 Sushi Islands twice. Once for my son's Birthday and once on Mother's Day (unplanned since we were going to eat in and the power went out!).
I want to say that I have never been to an AYCE place where they bring everything we order. I am always left wondering if we got everything. Same with this place. The wait staff were pleasant enough to us on both visits.
The sushi is good and flavourful. The size of the sushi (rice with raw fish) and the maki rolls are nice. I sometimes find that the bite-size is too big, these ones are good and I don't feel like I have to stuff a big bite into my mouth ;).
The service was incredibly quick on M-day. Sometimes almost too quick. As regular sushi eaters, we sometimes order most of what we are going to order on the first paper. They brought everything so fast that there was almost no room on the table. As the restaurant filled up though, the service slowed down. Maybe they thought we had eaten enough.
Regardless, we will be back.
