There are two AYCE sushi places that my sister, brother and I always go for and this is one of them. I think the waitstaff should be required to know our name by now considering the fact that there was a time this year when we practically visited this place like once a week. It is that good. Although sometimes I feel like they jip you by not giving you all the orders you've ordered because they think that you are too much of a pig, I still love this place.
Spider rolls? For an AYCE sushi restaurant, I think this one has the best. It's not comparable to ones that you can get from my favourite a la carte Sushi place like Ichiban Fish House or like Sushi on Bloor - but it's fairly decent!
Oh and my favourite dessert, COCONUT JELLO. lol. I can never get sick of this place! Although I wish they expand their space, wait time could be a long time especially during weekends and if you're stupid enough not to make a reservation. -

people hate on AYCE sushi, but if I'm going to rate this place in comparison to other AYCE places this is easily one of my favourites.
It's a small space so it can get kind of busy, but it has been around for a long time. The variety of sushi/cooked food, etc is the same as any other AYCE place, but the quality is more consistent and better than other places I have been. -

Came here with a close friend of mine, both of us were craving some belly stuffing and stuffed we were.
We came here for the dinner menu in hopes that there would be an offering of red tuna. We were not disappointed in the selection, but the quantity of the red tuna was disappointing. I found that they made huge rolls that promoted less exploring of dishes and rapid filling of the stomach. The rolls themselves were good, a better quality than most of the AYCE joints I've been to, but they were much to large. Imagine trying to eat a maki roll the size of a temaki. Speaking of temaki, the tuna one is definitely not worth it as it was 75% rice and 25% red tuna pretty much a stomach space waster. I have been told by my girlfriend to keep in mind that it could have been because the proprietors were running low for the day...
Although I found their red tuna lacking I must say that I would return for their AYCE though I would be more judicious with my orders are pretty much target their sashimi(very generous cuts too!) and avoid their rolls.
Dinner on a weekend for two including tax and the tip(added on for a two person table, that was a first for me) came out to $50+. -

CUTE! Chinese girl would give this place a 5 star, no doubt. Me. Not so much. Unlike other AYCE sushi places, there's no tick sheet. It's a little hard to mentally organize your plan of attack. I found the staff kind of unsmiling. There was one younger Mandarin speaking male who took a liking to CUTE! Chinese girl and he was quite attentive.
The fried ice cream and tempura bananas were outstanding. The dinner menu (we were here for lunch) seems to have some better options. CUTE! Chinese girl loved and packed way the kalbi. Usually she'll finish up an AYCE sushi dinner with 5 or 6 scoops of ice cream but it was "magic time" and cold foods/beverages make her cramp up worse. So she had to eschew her normal ice cream pig out.
Oh yeah, the seaweed salad is awesome. The popcorn chicken was nice enough.
I think I'd go back, for sure, probably for dinner.
Just watch the bill. A 10% service charge is added. -

For a restaurant that receives such good reviews and is so acclaimed by the online community, it's really small... and because of that, it's really hidden. It took us a few tries to find the place (FYI it's North West of Highway7/Kennedy), and when we got there, it was already half full (on a weeknight at 6:30 that's pretty impressive).
When the waiter sat us down, we took a while to order and wrote down everything we wanted on the back of a receipt one of our friends had. The waiter came and already he seemed like he didn't want to be there. As we listed out what we wanted, he put his hand out midway, rolled his eyes and softly but sternly said "I cannot write that fast." Had he said it more politely I wouldn't have minded as much. Regardless, the food came after a while (slow compared to other places i.e. Maison du Japon).
Although the popcorn chicken that we ordered came after a long while, it was steaming hot and very crispy. It was definitely a highlight.
- The vegetable tempura had no broccoli (?) and the tempura dough was insufficient. The shrimp tempura was decent though.
Unfortunately the experience ended on a low note with the dessert. We were terribly excited to try their deep fried ice cream and it was questionable when he asked us what flavour we wanted as it is usually prepackaged. When it came it was simply ice cream generously sprinkled with crispy oats. It wasn't bad but... it was disappointing. (For good AYCE Sushi fried ice cream go to Sushi Fun on Yonge and Clark)
The place is pretty good for 18.99, though watch out for the bill!! They automatically add gratuity, which they calculate by adding 10% AFTER tax (which I'm not sure is legal, since it's supposed to be BEFORE)... -

So hard for me to rate a All You Can Eat places fairly as I am not really into AYCE anything.... but when 2 of my dinner mates tonight are fans of "eat as much as they can!", I caved in.
Make sure print out a coupon from http://www.ccue.com that entitled 10% off if paying by cash.
Dinner Weekdays - Adult $18.99
Surprisingly busy for a rainy weekday evening. Sushi on 7 was packed at it's full capacity. Services were OK, efficient and we got all the food we ordered quickly.
Sashimi was OK, thickly sliced salmon was quite freshly.
The rolls I found them Meh.
The cooked dish: fried dumplings, grilled baby ribs (charred), grilled shrimps (definitely not fresh with mushy texture), beef on skewers, grilled salmon head and neck....
The fried ice cream is really a scoop of ice cream rolled in crispy bits, but it was quite interesting and give the ice cream an interesting texture.
10% tips added on automatically, so don't double tip.
I think I am bias with AYCE, quantity over quality, not by cup of tea! -

Considering there isnt a whole lot of AYCE jap restaurants...this is one of the better ones...there was a pretty good selection, price is decent and service could be a little better. The only thing i really didnt like is how the place is soooo crowded, but aside from that...so far so good!

Buffet style Japanese place. Grilled shrimp skewers and squid were excellent. Beef skewers were not. Steamed seafood egg was delicious as I've never had one before. Sashimi of salmon and butterfish (i think it was butterfish) was freakin amazing. Their rolls were pretty great too. I ordered some sushi pizza which was interesting. The bottom is flattened rice that has been breaded and fried with whatever sushi topping you want. I probably wouldn't order it again although I'm glad I tried it. Shrimp tempura tasted standard. Overall it was a good find.

Yea, for all you can easy sushi, this place is not bad.
I ordered a couple of hand rolls: the fish were ok, the seaweed were ok but the rice was not ok. it still not bad compare to sushi tei, but still not pass to as good sushi.
I guess this place is trying to keep the food fresh vs buffet, where they prepared the food a head of time and this one is you order and they prepare it for you.
deep fried ice-cream is no more than ice-cream rolls on breadcrumb. (they shouldn't call it fried..)
good selection, just like buffet but its on the menu other than on the heating plate.
if you are hungry and just wants to eat tons of sashimi + other stuff and don't care about the taste, this place is not bad. if you are hungry and wants to eat good sushi, this ain't it. -

As my friend Brett said halfway through dinner: This isn't all you care to eat. It's all you CAN eat. Ignore your brain, ignore your stomach, it's all about satisfying your tastebuds.
This is our second time visiting this place and once again, it was a 20 minute wait, but well worth it. The quality of the food here is incredible. On the rating scale you give an AYCE place, this place is a 15/10. The rice is just right, and not overgenerous, the tempura is always crispy and the sashimi is fresh. The rolls are all incredible. I really can't describe how great this place is. The choices are dizzying, so we ordered in rounds: everyone picks 2 dishes per round, so you're not thinking about what everyone else wants and one person isn't trying to remember a billion choices.
The couple of things that stuck out for me as super delicious: Spicy scallop roll and the crystal roll (instead of rice, it's a rice wrap, like a Vietnamese salad roll).
Seriously, more things than not are amazing, so ladies, pack your eatin' dress, guys... do whatever it is you do when you are going to eat a shit load of delicious food. -

My ex boyfriend and i both got sick after we ate there about two years ago. Although we did just come back from Wonderland we felt fine before eating so it must have been the food. He got food poisoning and i felt queezy for a few hours. Hopefully others had a more positive experience than we did. Aside from that, the food tasted pretty good otherwise and we went late enough that we did not have to wait to be seated.

This is where me and my family usually go as Sushi Island is located downtown and parking is minimal. The resto is a typical Japanese AYCE you got your Spider, Cali, Dragon, Rainbow rolls, and different types of Sashimi.
This place stands out to us because the quality of food is always consistent and service is also on top of everything. However it is a small resto and no questions ask YOU HAVE TO MAKE RESERVATIONS.
Food - 4/5
Recommendations- Spider Rolls, Yakitori, Nachos, Green Dragon Roll, Black Dragon Roll, Grilled Steak -

A no frills, no decor AYCE sushi experience. Wait staff is meh, but that kind've goes with the look and feel of the place. Sort've like a shack noodle shop. When in Rome.
Thick ass slabs of sashimi always win my vote. Good variety of textures and spice in their crispy roll. Dragon roll was big, plump and generous with avocado. Sadly all the other rolls I've eaten there are easily forgettable.
Quality has declined in the last year or so, has become inconsistent. If you go enough times, you'll get a great meal or a very disappointing one. In the end it all averages out to just average. -

We came on a Saturday night so we actually expected to wait for a seat. The place was full pretty much when we got there but we didnt wait long. We actually had to sit at this random table they set up right in front of the sushi bar which was also in the walkway. They were nice about it though reasoning with us that we would have had to wait a long time. My boyfriend's chair was wobbly and broken so as soon as the waiters saw that they changed it for him. I'd say that's better service than I expected.
I think this place is great! When compared to other ayce places, the service and food is the best. They are really busy but still courteous and still bring not only all of the food you've ordered but at top speed too. Salmon sushi pizza has changed since we last went (which was over a year ago) and for the worst. It doesn't taste as good anymore and I swear they used to put fresh salmon on but now it's cooked...to each his own right?
I ordered this salmon nacho that caught my attention on the back menu. When they had brought it I was thinking 'what the heck? Is that just salmon on a freaking pringle chip?' haha. When it was in my mouth it was the most amazing blend of flavour with the cold salmon and some sweet but at the same time savoury and slightly spicy flavour. Needless to say I loved it!!
AND BONUS..I'm pretty sure it's one of the cheapest for weekend/holiday pricing at 20.99 for adults. -

Not the best all you can eat sushi I've had, and not the worst!
There's quite a selection (vegetarian and non-vegetarian) and the food is good! Definitely not bland like some other all you can eat sushi places I've been to, but I also can't say it compares to some of the better ones. The first time I went I ordered some weird vegetarian "specialty roll" which I couldn't finish because there was ginger and some other things inside it which I could not stand (but I will blame this on poor ordering choice), however the second time I went I ordered the right things and was much more satisfied. I seriously have no idea where to eat AYCE sushi in the more south-eastern parts of Markham, but compared to the other place I've been to somewhat near here (Mikado Sushi Robata), Sushi on 7 is amazing.
I found the service to be alright and I don't have any complaints when it comes to that. My whole group printed off 10% coupons from RedFlagDeals and they were all honoured. The atmosphere is not the best as the place is always busy and quite small, but this isn't very different from most all you can eat sushi restaurants.
I'm really torn between 3 and 4 stars for this restaurant, but I think it may be a bit too mediocre for a 4-star. Overall, I would recommend this place if it's close by and you're craving sushi... but it's not really worth going out of your way for! -

Had lunch at this place, and I think it is truly A-OK. I really enjoyed the variety of the menu, however I never got to try certain things since they are reserved for the dinner menu. Overall the quality of the ingredients used are not as high as Tenichi (in my opinion, but then again sushi on 7 is also cheaper), but the food doesn't taste bad either. The food also comes in very generous portions, and you are guaranteed to leave full! However there's not much special about the service in this restaurant, the waitresses just take your order, bring your food, get you your bill. No more, no less, as expected from a restaurant run by Chinese people (no racism intended, I am chinese).Dessert wise I excited to try the fried ice cream [yes its actually possible to FRY ice cream, I saw it on food network] but I was slightly disappointed since it turned out to have only been ice cream rolled in crushed granola or something like that.
As a summary, the price matches the quality of the food, you get what you paid for in terms of product and service. Nice variety in the maki selection which doesn't happen that much in a lot of sushi joints. Enjoyable to go to, but if I've got extra money I would still prefer Tenichi. -

Great fresh sashami. The rolls are a little heavy on the rice. The fried prawn skewers are excellent -- the crunchy shells are delicious. The fried tempura banana with ice cream is ravishing; I love the combination of these hot and cold treats. The restaurant is clean and often packed. Make a reservation 15 minutes before you arrive and ask for a booth. The booths are awesome.

Don't know what all the hype was for this place, it's simply not that good. I'll list what i had and what i thought about them
Sashimi: the only pretty damn good thing on their menu
Shrimp tempura: same as other places
Unagi handroll: lacked flavour
Beef short ribs: oily, oily, OILY! And overcooked (this was so gross I had difficulty swallowing it and I still feel like throwing up.)
Green salad: ughh lost appetite when i saw it (hell I could do better at home)
Miso soup: i've had better
Seaweed salad: pretty standard
Scallop sushi: this was pretty good
Unagi pizza: meh...
Chicken cutlet udon and seafood udon: chicken was nothing special. Seafood was overcooked to blandness. Broth was below average.
Steamed egg: Yang's kitchen did this better by far!
Fried ice cream: wait....it was fried? All it was was a lump of ice cream covered by some fried bits of stuff. I guess the words "fried" and "ice cream" are actually separate...
Saba sushi: was okay
Overall service: Very difficult to get the attention of the wait staff at times....
Was probably the most disappointing experience I've ever had at a Japanese AYCE. Those of you considering this place, I would strongly recommend going somewhere else.
The only reason I even gave this place a 2 is because their Sashimi was good. -

Food is crap, and for all the people that thinks this is good, I advise you to try other places. Sushi fun is pretty good most of the time for AYCE.

I know you can't really expect A1 sushi quality in an AYCE Japanese spot but Sushi on 7 is probably one of the best AYCEs I've tried in the GTA (Tanpopo in Vancouver is better IMO) quality wise. As usual I try to get a jump on everyone else by having lunch by 11:30 so bad service is never really an issue. The sushi was well prepared both in taste and construction. I can't seem to recall but something was missing from their AYCE which is either the tempura, soda, or ice cream. Whatever it was this place is still highly recommended for the sushi gluttons out there.

The food is usually really good if you catch them on a good day. Plus it's buffet so yeah awesome! The service is another story, generally don't expect much in terms of service, the odd time you may catch them in a decent mood. Also, it get's pretty crowded fast and maybe a reason why they don't really care about service - since yeah the food on a good day is great - if you have a big group of people I would think twice about taking them here because you may have to wait long.
