K&B Sushi

Oops! Thought I wrote a review for K&B Sushi before, seeing that I frequent this AYCE restaurant. This is our go-​to sushi lunch buffet spot — has iPad ordering system, quick service, large variety of sushi, hand rolls and specialty rolls, trendy interior and comfy seats. All the food come out piping hot, our favourites are the deep fried California roll, salmon hand roll (there’s not much rice inside), deep fried wonton with cream cheese filling, the staples like miso soup, crabmeat broccoli salad, seaweed salad and crunchy tempura. The staff is friendly and the food is delivered to the table promptly with no mix up from the kitchen (don’t you hate it when your Korean ribs end up going to the table beside you?!). I’ve tried most (if not all) sushi buffets in Mississauga and by far, this is my favourite place!

Resonable price for all you can eat… Sushi was okay, rice dish was pretty good, dim sum was tasteless, Maki rolls okay, ambiance was great, service was fast, the guy who brought the dishes (Ben) could use some personality training… short on please, and thanks and had a real sour look on his face.

Very pleasant first time here! Everything was good and the minimum amount of rice on rolls and was perfect for us! Service is not the quickest at times and if they want to compete with Spoon & Fork across the street, they may want to step it up a notch! All in all very good and we’ll be back!

I went to this place for lunch. I honestly expected it (from other people I know) to be disappointing but it wasn’t!!!
The last time I was in this place was when it was The Hollywood. It’s complelty changed inside and looks amaxing.
The waitress was so nice and explained how to order through the IPad which I truly enjoyed using. There’s so many different things to order surely something for everyone.
The food was fresh and hot, I would definatly suggest the crispy roll and the beef roll with green onion.
The price isn’t bad for the food which is 18.99 for the lunch special.

This place has a better AYCE service than most. Pretty decent variety, although the desert options are lacking. Some may find the portion sizes small, but I actually like the smaller portions. Sashimi was pretty fresh, but I wasn’t impressed with the octopus. The rest of the food was good. Nothing really noteworthy. Service was decent. Only came across one server whose language barrier was barley enough to get by. The food satisfied my sushi craving but I don’t think I’d come here to order a la carte. Definitely would have AYCE again though.

This place sucks. Employees suck. Food sucks. Who ever manages this place sucks.
Name of restaurant should just be «K&B Sushi Sucks.»

The inside of this place is nicely set up and clean. My aunt and I came for the lunch and while it was empty when we got there it definitely filled up soon after.
I’ve always enjoyed using iPads so that was easy enough. Service was quick and the food started rolling in.
I ordered salmon, white tuna and oil fish nigiri? The oil fish (im assuming that’s what it was) had an interesting rub on it which I enjoyed. The others were very good, very melt in your mouth. This is about the only thing that impressed me unfortunately.
My aunt ordered spicy salmon roll and I ordered one of my favourites, Philadelphia roll. When the rolls came I was actually pleased because I’m not a fan of a lot of rice. Some places go way overboard with it however these rolls had a very thin layer.
I tried hers and it was okay. Had better. Then I had some of my Philadelphia roll… And it tasted foul. It wasn’t salmon either. I’m not sure if that was an oversight, but whatever combination they had going on in there did not work. I’m guessing it wasn’t the fish as I didn’t get sick, but I certainly felt sick afterwards and so did my aunt.
I would have probably had a better experience had the roll not tasted horrible. But I’m not sure how they messed that up so bad. It’s a fairly common roll. Service also became neglectful after a while and they forgot items, we ended up just leaving.
Overall I probably wouldn’t go back.

I ate here earlier today for my birthday and I have to say, it was a horrible decision. A few words to describe this place would be: chaotic, unprofessional, cheap, and misleading.
First Impression– the place looked pretty promising when we first walked in and got seated. I was pretty impressed with the ordering system and how the place looked. A pretty good first impression.
Heres where things go bad– the ordering system looks pretty fancy, however dont let all this modernized ordering method blind you. It looks fancy with its set up but what i found pretty disappointing was how they only show you the picture and name of each order. There was no description or anything. All you could tell was that it was spicy or not. Half the special sushi rolls i ordered contained stuff I didnt like so my party ended up having to pay 50 cents per wasted piece. It didnt help when the servers/​food runners literally dropped the plates off without saying a single word. They would just guess who it belonged to and leave. We had to ask each food runner which roll it was and half the time they didnt even know. So another half of the time we didnt know if we were eating the stuff we ordered.
Food– this is the part that pissed me off the most. The sushi was as small as my thumb. I kid you not. I’m paying pretty much 30 $ per head to eat tiny little pieces of sushi thats is just about the size of half a pizza roll. I mean, i wouldnt have mind the tiny pieces if its taste compensated for it but nope. Small and horrible tasting. Whats worse is that it comes in 4s and 8s. So you get tiny ass pieces and a shitload of plates to deal with. To top it all off, the proportion of the filling and rice was completely unbalanced so all you could taste was the mush inside with barely any rice. Was just mind bobbling was that one of the rolls literally had just avocado and tempura shavings stuffed into a roll… What sucks was that if i knew i was getting a roll with just tempura shavings, i wouldnt have gotten it and i would have saved me about 4 bucks for not wasting.
Service– we asked one waiter a simply question: «are your sodas refillable» and all we got from her was «idk im sorry»… When out drinks were finished, they would just randomly pour water when we were originally drinking soda.
Im not sure if this place is new or its just cuz the workers are new but I’m sure as hell staying away from this place. And i recommend all you sushi lovers to do the same. All i can say is that this place is a shitshow. Poor customer service, the workers obviously dont know how to do their job, the ordering system is super flawed, and food is way to crappy for the amount your paying. Never coming here again.

All around, a terrible going out to eat experience:
— waited 15 minutes with menus closed before having to ask someone to take our order
— when food arrived, it was plopped down on the table with no consideration for who ordered what
— plopping down of food on table resulted in a glass of sake being spilled: no apology or napkin offer to help clean up
— no offer of tea or water refills
— we were not offered hot towels as other tables were
— when candles were lit on tables, ours was skipped
— the ‘assorted vegetable udon’ had only one vegetable: chopped cabbage
— bowl of rice seemed it had been sitting for a long time before served, as outside layer of rice was crusty and hard
— watched sushi plate we ordered make rounds to many other tables before it was hefted at ours
Parties who opted for their ‘all you can eat’ option seemed to receive better service than those who did not.
In sum, if you are looking for a delicious meal with somewhat efficient service, head elsewhere.

I was on the fence about giving 3 or 4 stars, but I went with 4 because of the iPads. They are a pretty slick way to order when you get the hang of them. I like K&B more than Spoon and Fork across the street because of the iPads and the food, and it is a welcome change from going to Mandarin.
There is plenty of parking out back. I didn’t recognize the place when I walked in as I went to the Brawley once, quickly.
The food was on the whole good for an AYCE venue. Portions were standard size but everything was fresh. The hot dishes came quickly.
We were stuffed by dessert, so not sure what that was like.
Will definitely return!

Love this place I been there 4 time and I leave with a smile on my face and satisfied customers

Disappointed to see this venue once with both quality service and food has gone downhill.
The food has become inconsistent– sashimi has super thin and not fresh at times. Order maybe missed.
Wait staff are extremely hard to be flagged down. They also don’t understand what you say if you order things not on their iPad, say, type and size of beers all wrong.

As far as All-​You-​Can-​Eat (AYCE) sushi goes this place is as solid a 4* as you can get bordering on the 5 but not quite.
All the AYCE places I’ve ever been to in recent memory all have pretty much the same things in common. They are all starting to go tech with the ordering done through iPads, all seem to have a different menu for lunch and dinner and all range around the same price and offer the same items give or take a few. These days the only way you can assess an AYCE sushi place is what is on the menu and what isn’t during lunch vs dinner… oh and how much does it cost?
That would be true if all the quality was equal which we know just is not the case. Sure salmon sashimi and nigiri, maki can all be prepared and presented differently but some staples are just what they are no matter where you go. These mundane items such as seaweed salad, miso soup, even Tempura don’t vary much from place to place.
I think what makes K&B special is that it seems and/​or looks like a more upscale type of place as opposed to many of the past places that I’ve gone for AYCE. The tables are still covered in paper so there’s that quick way to change the table for the next customers but the ambiance, service and overall look of the place looks like they’re going for a more upscale feel. The iPads for ordering is done quite simply. It’s not complicated to figure out really. Items on the menu are broken down by category but there is no real description of anything. What’s that? You don’t know what yakitori or karaage are? Oh well… For the numerous named rolls which seem be known such as rainbow or green dragon etc… what’s in that?
The menu gives you photos of the food, the quantities are explained in the corner so if you want 20 pieces of white tuna sashimi than you have to click on the «+» push to get your desired quantity.
Being that we went for lunch and we can’t see what’s NOT available on the menu for dinner we had no idea. It was not until my brother asked about the coconut ice cream where we were told that’s only on the dinner menu. How else would we know since the iPads were in lunch mode and not displaying what we cannot have (greyed out or red X’d or something). No, the items we couldn’t have were just not displayed so in reality we didn’t know what we were missing.
The item selection for lunch overall is pretty decent and diverse. How much was it? It was 18.75 after tax for each of us. Is that a decent price for lunch? It’s more affordable at say Moon on Erin Mills and that place is good too.
Overall I think what you’re getting for what you’re paying for is good. The food is good and you can have as much of it as you want. The rolls aren’t overly done with a lot of rice in fact the rolls have a thin layer of rice so you’re getting more inside than out so to speak. The portions, who cares really… you are able to ask for as much as you want. The quality is what matters and while I found the pad thai to be under spiced (I’m used to it being hotter) the rest of everything was good. The katsu was ok, the karaage was nicely done, the fried rice was tasty, the nigiri and other maki were nicely displayed and presented and the food tasted overall, good.
I can’t fault the place for looking better than other places and perhaps charging a bit more. Their selection of hot food we also had ordered included kalbi, sesame chicken, beef and mushroom rolls as well. Notably they had salmon skin in both maki and temaki which I love but noticeably were missing unagi nigiri but unagi was available in a maki. I thought that was strange. Of course white tuna is available as a sashimi for lunch but I don’t even know if they had red tuna on the dinner menu. Not being able to see it on the lunch iPad prevented that knowledge so perhaps ignorange is bliss? Not many places I’ve ever seen in Toronto offer maguro as part of a AYCE menu dinner or otherwise. This is not Miami…
Overall the place is one of the better places I’ve been for the price for lunch and while my brother has been for dinner before and I have not, he can’t remember what else wasn’t on the lunch menu but it didn’t really matter. We had a good, decent AYCE lunch at a nice place for under 25 bucks each after tip. The service was very quick and it was a better than average value for the money since the food was good. I do want to come for dinner though to get the full experience. The place really started to get packed after we showed up after 12:15 and by the end of our meal there was a line up to get in.

The décor is much better than your average sushi spot, with iPads for ordering to boot. The service started off a little rusty — server asks me if it’s my first time, I say «yes,» she leaves me with the menu and walks off without explaining further. I think the point of asking someone if it’s their first time is so that you can show them the ropes a little.
I finally did figure out how to order off the extensive menu and the food wasn’t half bad. The sashimi was fresh and the rolls were tasty.
The service, on the other hand, sucked. The servers would just throw the plates at the far corner of the table without even breaking their step to stop and announce the arrival of the food. I’ve really never seen anything like it, it was that bad.
I’d probably go back just because there aren’t enough decent AYCE sushi restaurants in the west end but I hope the management read these reviews and up their service standards as this place has the potential for greatness.

My favorite AYCE in the city so far.
Dishes were artfully placed, food was fresh, the iPad ordering app worked well, décor was lovely.
Was most impressed with the skill in how the sushi was made. The rolls were not overly ricey like most other places. The layer of rice was very thin.
Enjoyed it and would come again.

this is going to be my new sushi place. i dont know how it could get any better! its gorgeous!
the food was delicious, ambiance was really warm and nice, waiters were attentive and always walking around making sure everything was okay. they also have a patio! feel sad i didnt make it here in the summer.
they have a large menu with dim sum items, Thai items, Chinese items, and much more.
we ordered salmon sashimi, steak teriyaki (maybe a tad overcooked), tofu teriyaki, veggie pizza, green dragon roll, red dragon roll, tom yum soup (maybe pass on this it was salty), sweet n sour soup, avocado salad and mango salad, spicy salmon roll, shrimp and veggie tempura, deep fried milk, and ice cream. they also had $ 4 sapporo pint specials mon to thurs
will definitely return. dinner price was normal for ayce about 30 each with tax in i think

Had a great experience with the AYCE at KB a few weeks ago. The iPad ordering system made it super fun, and great that you can see what the food looks like before you order it. They had fresh sashimi, and even had amaebi (raw shrimp) on the menu! Their Thai food selection was not bad either, their curries could use a bit more sauce though, and maybe paired with rice. Their tom yum soup could use more punch. Overall it was a bit pricier than other AYCE Japanese places in Toronto, but you get what you pay for — better quality, more selection and a nice ambience!

I was going to award a 5^th star because this place is friggen flawless, but like a victim of cheating in relationships, I’ve been burnt before — so I simply cannot put all my love behind this place… yet.
To say that this is the greatest new AYCE sushi joint around would be close to accurate, however, you frequenters of the AYCE sushi spots know about the lifecycle of any good sushi restaurant, if not, allow me to break it down for y’all:
– Open to 6 – 8 months — flawless. Generous portions, Huge cuts of sashimi, perfectly cooked… everything and amazing/​attentive customer service. Basically the perfect sushi experience. ***This is where K&B is currently at in their life cycle.***
– 6 – 8 months to 1 year — sporadic slips in customer service, mistakes, decrease in portion generosity and thinning of sashimi cuts (only marginally)
– 1 year to 2 year — infrequent/​inattentive service becomes a regular thing, sashimi portions are ¼ what they used to be, quality control slips
– 2 years onward — find a new sushi joint (seriously, you’re lucky to have good sushi at many places older than 2 years). Pending new ownership or management changes, at which point the cycle repeats itself.
As I mentioned K&B is insane right now, everything is amazing, and following two horrible experiences at the nearby Spoon & Fork, they’re poised to put a serious hurt on that abysmal AYCE crap joint.
The menu here is unreal, filled with an assortment of pan asian cuisine favorites. I was particularly a fan of the short ribs and their variety of Udon noodle soup dishes, amazing! My one critique is that while they do offer Red Tuna, you’re maxed out at 2 pieces per guest, so not TRULY and AYCE (because they know I’ll eat 3 pounds of that shit, no questions asked) NOMNOM NOM NOM NOM NOM NOM #SushiMonster
I’m with-​holding my 5^th star pending further investigation (many more investigations) and if service and food stays steady into the 1 year mark, I will happily upgrade them. But heed my warning as my EATCREST AYCE SUSHI LAW is more consistent than gravity itself.
Eatcrest Out
PS — OH yeah, and their patio, amazing! Definitely one of the best seats in the house during the summer!

Great place for AYCE sushi! The quality of the food and the staff are incredible. We were pleasantly surprised at the huge selection available as well.
Ordering is convenient and with an iPad device. The menu offers pictures but no descriptions. Nevertheless, the fish is fresh and the food tastes great!
When ordering sashimi, you can only order a max of 5 sashimi pieces per person at each order.
Try the fried milk dessert — it’s so good!

Great spot for lunch or dinner with friends!
You just pay all you can eat and order as much as your heart desires. They are more than happy to give a quick demo on how to use the app on the iPad, which is super cool by the way! Great interface, lots of fun and easy to keep on ordering.
Food was delicious, we tried a bit of everything! Green chicken curry and dynamite roll were a highlight.
Nice atmosphere, good music in the background, and clean.
Definitely will be back with friends!
