It's late, I'm tired as usual I will update later.
Been here at least 10 times. I'm a fan! Good pricing for all you can eat sushi + buffet. Good green tea, and I love the facility, especially when you consider it's less than savory location. I highly recommend it, even for groups. Service is always decent, never great. Also, nicely done bathrooms, very elaborate. I will surely go again, and perhaps see you there.
The biggest negative I have for this restaurant is probably the same as every sushi buffet - the desserts are awful, tough, and non-edible. Enjoy the ice cream and some of the fruits, avoid the hard jello, and hard pastries. -

So, I arrived between lunch and dinner, round 3pm. There was a staff member sleeping on one of the benches, but get it when you can.
No chopsticks on the table, had to ask. No Ginger with the food, again, had to ask, and got a giant clump of it. My call for no roe on the sushi pizza went unheard. Not major complaints, but they add up.
The sushi mediocre to my moderately experienced tastes. -

The only reason why I go to ayce sushi places is for their white tuna,salmon and bbq ribs.
The first time I came here,they had the ribs out on those buffet lanes(idk what its called) and I could take as much as I wanted.I was in heaven.But on my second visit,they didn't have it out and when I asked one of the servers if I could order some from her,she promptly said "its over there".
Well it's not there which is why I asked.
The freshness of their sushi is a hit and miss.The white tuna wasn't very fresh the first time but it was quite delicious the second time I've been there.
You can order sashimi for lunch for an extra cost of $3 (which I think is worth it).
The servers aren't overly nice but they certainly won't be spitting on your food or ignoring you when you need something.
This is the place to go if you don't mind mediocre Chinese food and sushi and you're starving. -

Most of the sushi rolls here are mediocre. The Crispy Volcano Rolls are the only ones that I consider slightly above average. Their mango slushis are noteworthy if you prefer to accompany your meals with a sweet beverage.
Stay away from the Chinese buffet section though. Their selection appears dried out and stale because they've been sitting under the heat lamp for too long.
On the positive side this restaurant offers a 10% discount to post secondary students only if paying with cash. -

Wow! I remember seeing this place open up near my apartment. Didn't look like much but me being the way I am insisted on trying it. Apparently it's everything I ever dreamed of: asian buffet (good quality food as opposed to the crap you find on most asian buffets), and ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI!
When I found out about the ALL YOU CAN EAT SUSHI I kinda felt unnerved at the idea, presuming it would most likely be pretty gross. Man was I ever proved wrong. I have eaten in a lot of Toronto's sushi joints and this place definitely has some of the best sushi in town.
As for the environment it is very clean. Washrooms are beautiful. Servers are all very nice when you can get their attention. Though they have gotten better. When we first started going in we were some of their first customers so we got astounding service. When the pace started to pick-up though we noticed the quality of service diminish. But they have made some good improvements. They're a new business so I'll give them a break this time I guess.
If there were any quirks about the place I'd have to point out it would be their hilarious selection of music. Some nights you will go in and it will be good ol asian music straight through. But other times we have been in there you get the classic asian music mixed with unbelievably random songs ranging from forgot about dre (Dr. Dre and Slim Shady) to what I think was a bootlegged Iron Maiden song.
All in all one of my favourite spots in the city if your looking for a good meal for an awesome price.
Speaking of price, lunch is from 1100-1600 and costs $10 for the buffet. After 1600 its $14. On weekend add $2 to both of those prices.
Also, Oishi Sushi was just recently licensed to serve liquor and their beer is dirt cheap at less than $4 a bottle (domestic)!!!
If your ever up in the Downsview area be sure to hit this place up. Would recommend over any Wasabi and maybe even over the Mandarine with Oishi Sushi introduction of Crab Legs to their dinner buffet!Listed in: Favourite Oriental Restaurants

I dont know if it was bad because we came in a little late (around 830-9p) or if it was generally that bad. my boy and i were psyched that it was a Mandarin and Sushi buffet because a) we LOVE sushi and b) we have people who wanted to eat at the Mandarin (a few blocks away) - so that was like hitting two birds with one stone.
the Mandarin buffet didnt have much when we got there.. (replenishing would be a good idea, guys!) and the rolls we ordered, Red Dragon and Oishi Sushi were ok.. red dragon deserves it's own star. we ordered some sushi pieces and we had to order it 5 times before we got the order in!
the second star is for the effort. I don't know how new this place is - it has potential. maybe better sushi service and more mandarin choices. will i go back? we'll see. -

I went to this restaurant a couple of times. Quite frequently actually because I thought the prices for the lunch buffet were reasonable (like 10.99). Anyways, I noticed how the service was rude, though for me they DID get the sushi orders right most times. However, I will never be going back because of the rude service. I have taken crap from them and the last time I went really was the last time. Why is it that at every AYCE sushi restaurants the staff seem to be so rude? I say just pay for good quality sushi and service. ITS WORTH IT!

So I checked this place out today and needless to say, I wasn't surprised. They do not serve sashimi during lunchtime, only sushi which tasted average for the area and nothing special. I didn't really like the makis because the seaweed they used tasted strange and had a very chewy texture. It was so hard that I had to break the rolls apart because I couldn't chew through the seaweed! The buffet which was included in the $10.99 all you can eat lunch wasn't even worth trying. I should have known better...

I've been to Oishi Sushi sooo many times now that the owners wave at me when I come in the door. I keep going back because the sashimi pieces are big and fresh. I think they have 6 or 7 different kinds, but I always get the Salmon Rose and White Tuna.. they're the best ;) But the price is great, if you're a sushi guy like me then you wouldn't mind spending the extra couple of bucks for the Sashimi. By the way, I normally eat during lunchtime, and of course they serve sashimi... but it's extra, duh. Well, I can say I've tried other sushi buffets and the only one that can compare, is some place in las vegas. Wasabi has a good buffet but really crappy sashimi, and their sushi isn't "just made", it's probably been sitting there for 30 min or an hour, yuk. Other sushi places like Senses, Fune, or Umi sushi are all other places I like but you'll probably spend almost double the price for sushi and sashimi that isn't as good. Some dishes though are better at Fune and Senses, but hey. I'm writing about Oishi Sushi, and as long as they keep fresh and clean with their venue and food, then I'll be there. :)
