Review from Ana W.
Very good service. Great lunch special! They are currently offering $12.99 special for all you can eat. Children and seniors have various price ranges as well (See uploaded photo).
I love sitting by the conveyor belt! You can pick any sushi dishes that you want.
Quality of fish is fresh, we ordered quite a bit of cooked items since I came with my parents. Items I really liked...
Enoki mushrooms with beef - love the pepper, not drenched in soy sauce
Salmon belly - crispy on the outside, moist on the inside
Squid sushi - very cute
Deep fried banana with ice cream - yum...
I'm looking forward to go back and try other dishes. They don't have too many unique dishes, but you are kind I there for the thrill of the conveyor belt. -

I was at Nine Up Sushi a few months ago and wanted to like this new AYCE sushi place since it's located nearby my church and it's the first time I've seen the conveyer belt used in any place around here.
However the food itself was mediocre at best. Nothing was particularly noteworthy, and the way that the chefs (preparing the sushi in the center of the restaurant) would slap the plates down seemed rather abrupt and rude. They would sometimes throw the plates onto the conveyer belt located beside our table, and sometimes on our table itself, so we sometimes weren't sure if the plates were intended for us or not. (No one else at the place was seated next to the conveyer belt so we assumed they were our orders, but why were they sometimes putting them there and sometimes on the table??)
I'm sorry to say that the service was pretty bad. Not only did we have to catch the waitresses attention (not unheard of at a sushi place) it took considerable effort to do so, as though they were trying hard to avoid making eye contact and pretending not to hear so they wouldn't have to take our order.
Overall I wasn't impressed, there are other much better AYCE sushi places around. -

CONVEYOR Belt Sushi... Now just imagine if someone opens a Conveyor Belt Dessert! :D My Friends would wish the Belt ends inside their mouth.
Food going around and around and around in front of you continuously is quite fascinating actually. It's like a Sushi Catwalk and when you want you can take the item of desire. Nine Up Sushi, you're my very first Conveyor Belt Sushi so definitely will be in my memory bank for a long while.
It's quite NEW so I will review it as such while some of the Apprentice Sushi Chefs ask the experienced Chef to show them make a Temaki Hand roll. The service is nice and most seating are at the Conveyor Belt while there are a few away from it where you can order from the Menu itself.
Items on the Conveyor are Color Plated and as Nine Up is still relatively unknown, there are limited Customers which could mean for the limited items on the Conveyor while we were there. For some reason, I see mostly Hot Pink and Baby Blue! The median priced items but of course you can always ask for items straight from the Menu if wished.
The Food items are fresh and mostly of Maki, Nigiri, or Sashimi. The Partitions are there to block off the customers that would otherwise face you but I think they might be removable. That might help if you want to seat face-to-face with Friends or... Jump the Belt Line and get your Sushi.
I'm glad something DIFFERENT has been created in this Scarborough neighbourhood that can otherwise be the same ol'.
Also if you haven't noticed, many SPICY Chinese restaurants are overtaking the area. I give extra Kudos to Nine Up for willing to make this Food Concept accessible outside of Downtown Toronto.Listed in: Oishii

My friends and I decided to try Nine Up Sushi for their conveyor belt service. We've never tried it before and it was pretty good time as any to try it with their grand opening special of 10% off.
I love my sushi, which mostly consists of Salmon Sashimi, Salmon Sushi, Baked/Grilled Salmon, Salmon whatever. As soon as we were seated, the first dish to roll off the conveyor belt was a pair of Salmon Sushi. I grabbed it as quickly as possible. The Salmon was amazing, even better was the Sashimi, which just melted in your mouth. Their Salmon dish which was teriyaki salmon was priced around $10. pretty good deal since it had rice and a few veggies on the side.
The items do get costly with the whole conveyor belt concept, the pinks are ~$2 the red dishes are ~$3, and purples were ~$4. It might have been cheaper just to order the Sashimi as a combined amount, but I couldn't help the fact it was readily available in front of me.
As for dessert, my friend ordered the fried ice cream, which looked appetizing. They also had tofu Cheese cake, which was something I wanted to try, unfortunately they didn't have ti available.
The only drawbacks that we encountered was a couple mix up in our orders, but other than that the service was friendly and the meals were great.
If you want to try something different and love Salmon Sashimi, I definitely recommend this place. Just make sure you bring extra cash since it can get pricey if your not paying attention to your dishes. -

Came to Nine Up Sushi for their Lunch Specials.
Conveyor Belt Sushi for $1.50 - $2.50 and Sashimi for $3.50. Since we came around 2:00 PM and the place was not busy.. so one can only see fake sushi revolving around on the belt. The best bet is to just order and they will prepare fresh for you!
Lunch menu has a mixture of Korean/Japanese cooked dishes.. they have all been modified in a certain way to fit the Chinese palate... As most of the customers here are Chinese!
Spicy Korean Seafood Soup ($6.95)
- quite sizable good for sharing
- the spiciness and flavour are not really intense..
- There were mussels, Shrimps, Squid and tons of vegetables and Korean glass noodle inside.. good value
- comes with rice and salad
Since it was not too busy, the services here was really polite and attentive...
Nine Up Sushi is a good place to go if you are in the area for a late lunch, since it is served till 4 pm!Listed in: Japanese Restaurants in the…, Lunch Specials in Scarborough

Went here once for a A la carte unagi dish once and it was pretty good since it also came with complimentary miso soup, salad & mango shot desert.
Decided to go again for All you can eat lunch: BIG MISTAKE.
-The rice used in nigiri sushi was WARM and had way too much rice vinegar with no sugar so it was like eating a mouth full of sour rice.
-The rice used in maki rolls was NOT SEASONED AT ALL so there was no hint of sweet/sour to contrast the soy sauce.
-Our first cup of tea was never refilled and they did not leave a teapot on our table, although we could've asked for refills, I think they just want you to order soda instead.
-Unless specified, they only give you ONE piece of everything except for the cheap dishes or maki rolls which come in huge servings of 8 pieces. Example: as a party of 2, we got served ONE mackeral sushi, unagi sushi, shrimp tempura but got served FOUR gyoza. Every other AYCE sushi place I've been to will automatically serve at least once piece per customer at the table.
-After the first round of orders get served, they ignore or delay your subsequent orders. We went on a Saturday around 2pm so the restaurant was barely half full. They just didn't care about the AYCE customers and kept busy serving the al la carte people from what I observed. We waited a good 30mins for the last 2 Teriyaki/tempura dishes to be served but got fed up and just ordered ice cream then left.
Good points:
-Soda is free and cold, most other places would've charged extra.
-The teriyaki/tempura/other cooked dishes were done relatively well but I've had better.
One of the worst AYCE sushi experiences I've had overall and everything looked so promising when I went for al-la carte before. -

I heard this place is pretty new and they had the first scarborough conveyor belt sushi, so I decided to give it a try. First of all, the place is poorly designed. Their isn't much atmosphere in this place due to its design, how small the place is, and their isn't much people that go to this place so the conveyor belt has poor sushi and sashimi. The food was just average I have tried many better place that has better sushi and sashimi. Actually I find some all you can eat sushi place better than this place due to this price. You could get sushi for 1.5-2.5 and sashimi for 3.5. They rarely put anything higher priced than this on the conveyor belt. Overall, I prefer eating sushi and sashimi downtown. I would not recommend this place.
