dre: In the concourse level of Scotia Plaza, there lies Ninki Japanese Restaurant. It is always packed, so my friend and I went early to get a seat. It is a little more high-end, so the bento box I got was $14. It had chicken teriyaki (dark meat), with lots of vegetable tempura, california rolls, and gyoza. It was really tasty, and I was pretty full after this meal.
I go for lunch here quite often. My usual are the shrimp and vegetable tempura and the bento box comes with chicken beef or salmon. A good value.
My Favourite AYCE. Ninki has turned into my favourite place for AYCE sushi. The main reason is because for dinner time, this place is pretty empty and you will have no problem getting a table (unlike Sushi Island). The place is clean and has a nice feel to it.
The selection of sushi rolls and special rolls are really good. This place has all the usual suspects on the menu that most AYCE places have, but I found the quality to be a bit better than the other places I have been to.
Couple of could do better things;
1) How I long for some beef sashimi to be on the menu
2) Their AYCE menu just has names listed of things with no description, so you have to cross reference it with their full menu to see what the names mean
All in all this is a must try place in the circuit of AYCE sushi in the downtown core.
