For the first two visits when they were newly opened in April, it took a while to be seated and the food came out frustratingly slowly. They were nice however (pop was on the house, and there was discount), but service wasn't that great as they often kept forgetting our orders. However in light of this, they got their act together.
Now they are quite fast and $10.99 is as good as you can get for Japanese all you can eats. For $3 more you can order up to 12 pieces of sashimi. Unlike Sushi on 7 they allow you to order dragon rolls and sashimi during lunch so the whole menu is open to you even at lunch.
The unbeatable value at $10.99 even holds for weekday and weekend as well as lunch and dinner. You can also determine how much Sashimi you want, 12 pieces for every $3 and $8 per person for unlimited.
If Japanese food is not your taste they also have dimsum for $1-$2 per plate and Chinese lunch combos for under $5.
Unbeatable value, good food and fast service with a very good variety of food. -
Review from Craftlover K.

The place is quite decent, but it is kind if strange for me that a sushi house has Chinese food and dumdum in the menu.
So it actually gives me a strong feeling that it is not authentic .
Second thing that quite disturb me is the music they played here is all Mandarin songs. It may better to play plain music or Japanese.
Many Chinese operated sushi houses have the same problem here: play Chinese songs in Japanese restaurant. Weird!
For the sushi itself, it is ok. But the rice is still very warm when I eat them, and the fish is not cold enough.
For the deep fried tofu, so-so, I don't like the smell of the oil, seems like it is not so fresh.
For the beef onion roll, it tastes bad because it is not fresh, and a bit sour too. -

Takara House is a Japanese restaurant that is newly opened at the plaza at Kennedy and Bur Oak.
I was attracted to go into Takara House because of all those Soup Noodle Specials for $5.99 with a drink.. but I ended up having their AYCE lunch. I guess I am up selling myself, but I have glad of my decision..because the Ramen/Noodle here is Meh....
Lunch AYCE is $11.99.. which I was more than happy to pay but then I was given a 10% off card..and then 15% off when I pay... I could not say NO to discount! :)
The selections here is quite good... with the usual rolls, sushi and some hot plates... I ended up ordering:
Hand Roll: Spicy Scallops/Salmon
Roll: Black Dragon Roll
Sushi: Fish Roe/Spicy Salmon
Tempura: Shrimp/Yam/Pumpkin (a little soggy and some pieces are stale)
Ramen: Seafood (which suppose to have Kombu broth)
Green Tea Ice cream
The shari rice was done surprisingly good.. with good bite and soft inside.. can put in a little more rice vinegar though...
Ramen is the weakness... the noodle itself was cooked too soft... and the stock broth doesn't have much flavour (even the owner has concern and asked me about it!!)
Since Takara House just opened recently...I can tell the owner is really passionate and wanting the business to success... He was really sincere and nice greeting all his customers.Listed in: Lunch Specials in Markham!, Stuff Myself Silly!
