Sushi Jet

So I went to this place and got a sushi combo for takeout. Then I went again for a bento box. The sushi was very fresh and everything tasted great. Then when I got the silver bento box (It is supposed to be the smallest one!) I could not explain how happy I was with all the food. This place is great! Quality and quantity, what more is there?

Sushi Jet is now located beside Shoppers on Spring Garden. I like that the new location is on a busier street since we’re more likely to walk by it and be reminded we’ve been saying «let’s try that!» for months now. We had wanted to go to the old location, but it always slipped our minds when we were downtown.
Anyways! The two of us walked in the other day and were seated right away even though it was busy. After being seated, we were ignored for a long time even though there were waitresses everywhere. Finally, we were brought water and then we placed our order. It’s all you can eat so all you have to do is write down the codes from the items you want and also write down how many orders of each you’d like. We ordered cautiously since it was our first time and we didn’t know what the portion sizes were like. You can order as many times as you like so cautious is definitely the way to go since you have to pay for any leftover food.
The food started arriving fairly fast, even though it was pretty busy. Everything was nice and hot and full of flavor. I’m not really a fan of seafood (other than crab and shrimp) so I was impressed with their vegetable sushi selection as well as the fact that they offered beef and chicken teriyaki rolls. I also really liked that they offered broccoli tempura since a lot of places don’t and I LOVE it! One thing that was slightly disappointing to me was that they don’t offer tonkatsu, but they do have chicken katsu so I can’t really complain.
As for the quality of the food, it was quite a bit better than I was expecting! We always eat at Happy Sushi (the other all you can eat sushi place that’s farther away) but the rolls at Sushi Jet are better, in my opinion. They were well made and bigger than your typical all-​you-​can-​eat rolls. We also ordered the yakitori, teriyaki, spring roll, and much more and everything was great — nothing tasting of quick, easy, pre-​made garbage that buffet/​all-​you-​can-​eat places sometimes try to slip in.
I liked that dessert was included and you could pick between banana tempura and ice cream. I found it odd that a Japanese restaurant offered cotton candy ice cream as an option, but it’s one of my favorites so I’m not complaining!
As I mentioned early on, service wasn’t really the greatest. If it’s your first time and you’re not sure how to order or have questions about any of the options I’m not sure you’d be helped. We actually had a question when we started to order and our server quickly turned and walked away so we decided to just risk ordering without knowing the answer. No one checked-​in (or really said anything to us until the very end of our meal) to make sure everything was tasting ok, even though they were at our table many times to drop off more food.
Despite the below-​average service, I’d still say this is a really great sushi option. I’d even say I like it better than Happy Sushi, which I’ve been going to for years. Definitely would recommend! The price for lunch was $ 16.99 each… more than fair!
