Great prices. AYCE on a Sunday for 13.99 but no sashimi. The salmon was good quality and they have a diverse lunch menu.
Recommended for: cheap lunch sushi, hangover sushi -

I thought the service was good; they cycle over different waiters so you dont wait too long plus the food comes out real quick. AYCE is not really my thing but we were really hungry and its def better than most other AYCE Ive had before. Fish was fresh and regular size portions. you order sashimi by the piece which is what I like so you dont end up over doing it. For some reason I thought the soy sauce was too salty but my friends thought it was ok maybe it was just me.
I can see some people liking the decor but it looks tacky to me. Doesnt really have that Japanese feel to it although it is a very clean place.
dish I enjoyed the most
- deep fried banana
It's out of the way for me so most likely wouldnt be coming back any time soon unless my friends that live near by invite me -

The first Akita location (Woodbridge) has a steady clientele, so I was excited when one opened in Brampton. With the same decor and same menu selection, you would expect the same kind of service? But not with this location.
I've probably been there a total of 4 times and I would never go back. I've even brought parties there on a few occasions, whom at the time were impressed. The fish was of good quality and the service was fast and catered to us well.
Any time I go there as a couple, it has been quite the opposite. My last visit was a weekday lunch, and we ordered off the dinner menu (being a big sashimi fan). Salmon was not acceptable, it was not very cold and a few pieces were very rubber-like. Ordered grilled mussels, but I was surprised when it came with melted cheese on top, because it isn't specified on the menu. The idea of cheese and seafood was not a good idea. It was also hard to find one of 4 servers for tea refills because 3 of them were on a lunch break, where the fourth was I don't know. Also being approached by different servers asking if we had already ordered is a bit annoying, they need better communication.
On top of this was the automatic 10% gratuity that is added to every bill, no matter how many in your party. That must be a joke right? -

I don't have high expectations for AYCE sushi, but one should expect a certain level of quality and service when dining at a brand new restaurant, and Akita fails to deliver.
Horrible selection of food, very boring, as seen everywhere else.
Ordered grilled mussels, 3 of 4 were rotten.
Cooked selections was the worst I've had at an AYCE. ever. Even the buffet at Mandarin was better than this.
Service was slow and inefficient, but I'll give them a pass on this one since they just opened.
Worst AYCE sushi I've ever had. -

Dined here for AYCE lunch. The food was okay, definitely edible but I would not return for a few reasons:
- service is terrible. there were no more than 9 tables in this restaurant the entire time we were there. there were 4 waitresses plus two men that were at the front hostess stand. there were 4 sushi chefs at the bar preparing the food. the waitress complained when we asked for our rolls to be made without tobiko. she said they were too busy for such special orders. she was super rude about it and pretty sure we were saving them time by eliminating an ingredient and pretty sure 4 chefs can handle making food for 9 tables over the course of an hour and a half. not to mention they were all standing around chatting the whole time and never even came to refill our drinks until we waved them over each time. terrible service as the staff are clearly too lazy to earn their tip.
- selection of food is limited especially the maki. sushi pizza did not even look appetizing.
there are definitely better sushi places in brampton including hocky sushi and 168.
The only good thing about this restaurant is that it is new and the decor is modern and nice.
Save your money and go eat AYCE some where else. -

Like the previous reviewer, I did not like this new restaurant. Visually it was cold and reminded me of an institutional cafeteria. The food also reminded me of cafeteria food and supermarket sushi.
Why were they charging $8.99 for a glass of wine?
There are better options in Brampton.
