WOW! This place is amazing!The service is unbelievably quick, and friendly. They missed a couple dishes that we ordered, but no sweat, it's to be expected at AYCE.
The food was all made to order behind a sushi counter in the back dinning area, and tasted unbelievable. I have never had sushi just "melt" in my mouth before, maybe it was tempura batter crumbled on the sushi, or the spicy sauce drizzled on top? All I know is, it is so far the best AYCE I have yet to try.
They have everything from appetizers which include; lemon chicken, spicy sesame chicken, spring rolls, tempura shrimp (the batter was surprisingly light) and dumplings, to salads, soups, and of course a large selection of sushi. The only thing I did not like was the fried banana at desert.
Sushi recommendations: super salmon crispy roll, Philadelphia roll, spicy salmon roll, and spicy avocado & cucumber roll.
Atmosphere is very comfortable. Lighting was dim, and decoration was modern.
Overall, amazing, friendly, quick service. I will be back next time I am craving AYCE. -

Alright AYCE sushi lovers world wide, I think I found the secret to this place. It's not absolutely PACKED that the servers can't keep up with the people ordering.
I came here with a friend of mine for their birthday. It's an AYCE sushi place though you can probably order ala carte. It took awhile to get out here from Westboro but it let me see an area of town I'm rarely in. When we pulled up outside it looked like a dingy dive bar but when you walk inside it's actually pretty nice.
Alright here's the run down on the food
Sushi - Ok at best. Rice is overcooked and not well rested like all the Chinese run sushi joints in Ottawa. The eel I got with it did have a slight funky taste.
Sashimi - Ok selection, nothing amazing. I was very happy it was not frozen or skunky tasting as I've experienced at a lot of places in Ottawa.
Teriyaki - Surprisingly not overcooked and I might have to say they were cooked very well.
Noodles - Very interesting and spicy. Not a bad dish.
Tempura - Ok tempura, very happy it was not overbattered and extremely oily.
Soups - This was probably my favourite part of the meal as they weren't super salty like some places.
Maki - I only ordered one and that was the deep fried soft shell crab. It's not the type I'm used to but if you like this roll I would recommend not ordering it from here. Between the crappy rice and the large crab they use it's not the greatest.
Service was ok. They never came by to fill our drinks until we really chased them down. The server never checked up on our drinks but unlike all the other AYCE sushi places in town our orders came in full! 3 stars for that!Listed in: 2012: 366 Day Challenge, Ottawa: Sushi and AYCE

No complaints about this place ! The servers are friendly, and all orders are always received quickly and taste great! I love anything that is made with the salmon at this place. It tastes very fresh. I also think this place uses just the right amount of spiciness in their dishes, as some places you may not even taste the spice in a spicy salmon dish, or it may be TOO spicy. It's just right here!
The prices are average for an AYCE restaurant, at about $15 per person for lunch (after tax). But don't forget to tip your servers ;) -

Amazing. I come here whenever I'm in Ottawa. Tasty and prepared promptly, the sushi is excellent. Not overloaded on rice like most buffet sushi.
White tuna is fantastic. I probably gained three pounds on this alone.
Tiered menu for lunch, dinner, weekends. -

Very yummy!! They have very good salmon products here and good amounts of food.
I find most a you can eat sushi places try to add fillers (rice), but this place doesn't do that!
We had great service and an awesome experience. The price was reasonable as well :) -

I was ridiculously impressed by Banc Sushi once I got into the restaurant. It's very clean, nicely decorated on the inside. The outside looks strange, it doesn't look as nice as it could be, but don't let that fool you. It seems to be fairly well run.
The prices for All You Can Eat Sushi are similar to places such as 1000 Sushi Islands, with Saturday lunch being about $15/person. We walked in with 8 people, without a reservation on a Saturday, at noon, and were easily seated. We ordered tons of food, which came over very quickly and tried all sorts of interesting sushi. They have the normal maki and sashimi and tempura, but they also have interesting creations involving pringles. Everything was delicious. We mistakingly ordered two of the wrong soup and they were willing to just take it away and not charge us for it. We declined and ended up eating it as well, but the thought was there. They wanted to make sure that we were happy.
Unlike other All You Can Eat Sushi, this place tells you what they will charge you if you don't eat everything. 1000 Sushi Islands states that they will charge you, but they don't tell you how much.
Overall, a very good experience and my friends and I think that this will become our new AYCE Sushi restaurant - even though it is very out of the way for us. -

This is by far the best of the all you can eat sushi restaurants I have tried in Ottawa.
