Walking in to Akita you immediately see up to date furniture that is rather new by the looks of it and isn't too loud at all. A waitress is ready to seat you once entered and drinks arrive soon after.
I have been to Akita numerous times with family and friends, because of the All-You-Can-Eat option or a la carte, I personally find this spot a good choice as it has a variety of sushi and kitchen foods that can accommodate non sushi lovers as well.
I personally have found the waitresses to be rather efficient and yes at times certain selections can take some time but I don't find that to be a problem when ordering throughout the varieties each round.
Another aspect to Akita that I enjoy is not having to pay for the few extra sushi pieces that don't get finished.
First time dining here and we got our sushi craving satisfied. Actually happened on this restaurant by chance as we originally intended to try out Hai Sushi but couldn't find it (closed?!). We opted for a la carte instead of AYCE. We ordered the salmon and beef bento boxes (summer). For $10.99/bento box, it comes with the standard salad and miso soup. Service was very fast but we came during dinner off hours so that may not be saying much. We were quite happy with our food but we are definitely not sushi connoisseurs. My salmon was a tad dry but that tends to be a common observance with sushi restaurants. I liked how I was able to substitute my salmon rolls for California rolls in my bento box, nice courteous touch. Overall, we're happy to have discovered a new Japanese restaurant in our neighbourhood. Next time, we'll return to sample the AYCE menu.
Took my children and it was very expensive. We are not orientals but we shop at T&T and we enjoyed sushe at T&T before and when I saw the pictures I thought it is the same cheap and convinient but it was not cheap. Value was not there I recomend for sushe and other oriental foods to try T&T
I took my sushi-loving friend to Akita for her first time yesterday to the Woodbridge location and it was deelish! The rice was fresh, the quality of the rolls was excellent and the service was great! Akita used to be my old stomping ground until I moved away, and we frequent an AYCE sushi place closer to home but I forgot how delectable Akita's food is. You have to try the spicy crispy crab roll... Who! If you're ok with a "sleeper" spice you won't be disappointed. 5 out of 5 spoons :-)
Not bad but ginza is way better. I've never been to Akita for all you can eat (I usually go to Ginza) but I have gotten crispy spicy salmon takeout from akita. The sushi was made to order quickly and it was really fresh. I really enjoyed it because I was having a crazy sushi craving but the problem with their crispy spicy salmon was - although tasty, it was almost all crisy (ie. tempura) and hardly any salmon! It was good but not good enough because the salmon pieces were small. I also wouldve preferred a spicy mayo but they seem to use a different kind of hot sauce. The other problem is that it seems to be low quality - Hard to digest (and i know this because hours later i was still burping with the sushi taste in my mouth and this has happened on more than one occasion with their sushi only.)
Anyways, it did well to satisfy the craving for me but not nearly as good as Ginza
Pretty good AYCE. Came here for lunch with a few friends the other day and found the lunch to be relatively good. We ordered a variety of dishes (sushi pizza, rolls, udon, rice etc.) and most came out pretty good. I thought that they went a little overboard on the amount of mayo in some of their dishes but overall everything tasted excellent. To make things even better they have unlimited canned pop and their sushi chefs manage to pump out rolls really fast!
I'd come back!
Amazing food amazing staff consistently delicious and friendly. By far my favorite place for sushi.
Very Good!. Often AYCE are low-grade fish and made in a hurry but this was well prepared with fresh fish. Had a few of the spicy rolls which were delicious. The eggplant terriyaki was odd but alright if you love eggplant. The tempura was delicious!! Served crispy and hot :) Delicious. They were very accommodating and made a roll to my specifications that wasn't on the menu.... The only qualm I have is that the servers were a little pushy but the excellent food more than makes up for it!
Edit - returned again a few nights ago - same delicious food, but the service was TERRIBLE! One of the servers was incredibly rude, literally threw dishes onto the table, glared at us, refused to make ANY accommodations (even though the other servers did and had no issue with the minor changes). It was extremely disrespectful considering we are the ones paying.
Sushi all around. This was an "accidental" trial. Our usual sushi place was closed, and so we decided to try this out. Turned out to be a pretty popular future choice with us. I do find that it's a tad bit expensive, compared to other sushi restaurants, but I reckon that's because of the atmosphere. Beautiful dining hall. Long waits to get a table. Huge rush all the time. Relatively expensive. Slow service. Good food. Clean environment.
Pretty great sushi.. Overall this is a really good sushi restaurant. My wife and I tried this place recently. We love sushi and wanted to try a new place.
It is an AYCE buffet type sushi place. You just keep telling the server what you want and they bring it as opposed to other places where you fill out a sheet with your order.
The food I ordered was fresh and delicious. The rice was cooked perfectly and was still warm when it came to the table. My wife didn't enjoy her food quite as much. The tempura eggplant she order was not as good as the grilled eggplant she'd had at other sushi places. Also the edamame here was not as good as some other places.
The price was about the same as some other places, perhaps a few dollars more per person.
I will most likely go back again.
Love this place! Got the Dragon roll and it was fresh and delicious. Great all you can eat menu - large selection of appetizers, main dishes, bento boxes, noodles and so much more. A taste for everyone. Great atmosphere!
Akita Sushi has an expansive menu with a lot of great tasting items. We had the Spicy Crab Roll, Salmon Avocado Roll, and Philadelphia Roll, and all were delicious. The cheese wontons were also great. We dined in and the service was incredibly fast. Will definitely be going again.
Akita has been my forever favourite for all you can eat sushi in the Vaughan region. It has great selection of sushi rolls, appetizers , tempura and deep fry. However Dessert mainly has fried banana and different flavours of ice cream. My recommendation would be add to it. Also the portions are slightly smaller than other all you can eat. Must have: Cheese wontons or Butterfly Wontons!
Really good value and great selection of food, very friendly and pleasent atmosfere!
The food is always good whether you dine in or take out. The service is quick and reliable. You order through an iPad and the servers bring your food when it is done. Seating when I went was quick.
Fast service, friendly manager and staff, cool ambiance, sushi and food were delicious, must try butterfly cheese, crunchy sushi , Buffalo wings and tempuras...superb
