Maison Du Japon

If you’re an avid sushi fan, don’t go here. I went here today for AYCE lunch. Yes it’s cheap, but I certainly wouldn’t say you get any «bang» for your buck! Selection of fish is very limited. Won’t be going back.

I’m very disappointed with their AYCE as compared to other places. Reasons below:
— the food are extremely salty
— a few of the cooked items like the chicken curry was raw
— they have very little selection for the price you’re paying
— Noodles and ramen are too big portions. Can’t try anything else after eating them
— Salads and seaweed; they halve your portions and put them on one plate
Highly not recommend this place. You can definitely get better AYCE experience elsewhere.

I hadn’t eaten here in years but the place is still the same. The food is decent & prices are reasonable. It’s not the best sushi I’ve ever had in my life but it’s also not the worst. I’d say food quality is good in general. I love their Garlic Pepper Beef that is so delicious. Some maki rolls we ordered to share (Red Dragon?) were a bit skimpy on the salmon placed on top of the rolll. But otherwise everything else was good. Waitstaff bring food promptly & clear away empty dishes promptly as well. Everyone is polite. My only pet peeve for this place is the ladies washroom is always freezing cold. It feels like sitting on a block of ice when I sit on the toilet seat. For the love of god turn up the heat a little bit in the ladies washroom! Guys don’t need to sit on the toilet to pee like we do! Sorry if that’s TMI. LOL.

Wait staff could have cared less about us. It took forever to get our food orders taken. We also weren’t provided beverages. We had to request a drink order separately, and even then they didn’t bring enough glasses for the table.
Also, note that the drinks aren’t «rerfillable»

One of my biggest restaurant regrets for 2015. Came here for a weekend lunch with the family. 1) too salty 2) NO tuna at all… Not even white tuna 3) the audacity to charge $ 16.99 per person?
Worst place ever.

The other day I ordered a simple sushi lunch take out. The assorted sushi was mediocre, California rolls were not bad, the salad was okay, nothing to write home about. Same with the miso soup. It’s okay if you’re craving sushi lunch and have no where to go, but I think if you have time to travel a bit you could go somewhere better.
The weird part was, the sushi combo included one container of plain white rice. I really have no clue why that was included! The sushi and maki rolls already have rice in them. It would make sense if I ordered chicken katsu or beef teriyaki, but for the sushi combo it’s not necessary. In fact, I would have appreciated an alternative, perhaps a few gyoza dumplings or something would have been much better.
It just goes to show they don’t really have it all «together», despite the age of the establishment.

Overrated hyped up ayce sushi place. Nothing authentic. Came with the bf and experience was overall bad in general won’t go back.
Note: food that isn’t finished is overcharged.

I came here on a Friday night and we got a table right away. The service here was fast but there was nothing special about the food here. Normally when I go to all you can eat restaurants I tend to stuff myself silly. However, at this place the food simply wasn’t good enough for me to want more.
I find the price here is slightly more expensive than the other all you can eat place I’ve been to and there are no free drinks.

Went there last week after my first visit almost 10 years ago. I thought they survive 10 years with so many new competition, they must be ok and doing better than before. However, it was a wrong decision to go again…
We gave up the sushi/​maki/​handroll after first round of order, even we picked those «Chef recommended» items. And the cooked food wasn’t all good either… Desserts were basically ice cream and one type of jelly.
By the way, I see mostly non Chinese/​Asian sitting in there. I guess they survive 10 years mainly because they are kind of close to lot of offices. Probably won’t go back again even for another 10 years LOL
For all you can order Japanese restaurant, I would go to Kiku or Yokohama if I am in Markham. Better choices and better quality for a couple more bucks.

Pretty good sushi, been going there a lot lately.
Food comes fast and the sushi is not packed with rich like some restaurants do to get u as full as possible.

Great lunch outing. Maybe I’m a bit biased as my lunch was paid for and the company amazing but I enjoyed everything we ordered… and we ordered plenty.
We got there a little before noon, which turns out to be the sweet spot because shortly after we ordered the place was packed.
Service was fast and pleasant, the place really nice and clean.
Lots of choices, favorites for me were the eel and spicy crispy salmon rolls… and the teriyaki short ribs… and the calamari…
So much menu still left to try I will be back, likely often.

The sushi here is really good! I always enjoy my meal here & I’ve come back here a couple of times. I also even like their spaghetti :) & their menu does come with free drinks. The lunch menu is missing some stuff, like sashimi, but I’d come here for both lunch & dinner.
But it is a bit pricey to eat here, for dinner especially. & their soup noodles aren’t the best. Other than that, I love it! The one of the best AYCE around the area.

Been here numerous times in the past and recently for my wife’s birthday. Love the food and service. Just wish they offered soft shell crab.

Japanese restaurant mainly buffet.
Inexpensive for lunch.
Good selection average quality.
Good for families and larger groups.
Only one type if buffet can be picked for a group.

Work outing, and i’m kind of glad that we went with an all male group. $ 13.99 AYCE weekday lunch menu. I must admit that i am not the biggest sushi fan, however they did have lots of choices.
I kind of felt like a black guy trying to waive a taxicab in new york city when it came to the service, the servers would try to look straight forward and ignore you. However, they are extremely busy. So be prepared to wave your hands in the air like your dancing to the Village people’s– YMCA.
Overall, i was more then satisfied with my visit and the fact that i haven’t even completed 40% of the items they have listed — I will be back!

Arrived here for a Friday afternoon lunch. It was busy when we got in but we were seated relatively quickly but after that, the service got shakey.
We didn’t get tea, pencil to order, menu sheet, or soy sauce once we were seated. Sadly we didn’t realize this all at once so we had to ‘order’ these items individually as we realized that it was missing from our table.
The food was standard. Nothing particularly inventive and that standard selection was just okay.
I’m pretty sure some things were missed but we were full enough to not really care.
Random observation: their endame seems to have a bit more salt than other places I’ve been to

I don’t usually complain much about AYCE restaurants but I was pretty disappointed with this one. The place itself is OK — decently decorated and comfortable enough seating. The food and the service just wasn’t good.
We went for weekday lunch and the menu was quite limited for AYCE. No seaweed salad?! No tuna sushi. No roe, No Unagi (actually they did have maki rolls with tiny pieces of eel but not sushi). In my opinion, these are very standard offerings. The other sushi that was available wasn’t very good — not fresh, too warm or too cold. The wasabi they used was also tasteless.
The cooked food was OK. Teriyaki chicken, negimaki, tempura all at least passable.
One thing, as others have noted, was that the service was not very good. They often forgot items and it seems like they just randomly or arbitrarily bring food to your table.
I don’t think we’ll be coming back to this one.

OK, but nothing exceptional there and no Tuna in the AYCE menu! Desserts are not good.

I am pretty disappointed in this place. We came in on a Sunday and although the restaurant was pretty dead it took a good 5 minutes for us to be seated. The sashimi I ordered was still frozen and the wait staff left much to be desired. Half way through our meal they started cleaning everything and the whole resturant stunk of bleach, kind of took my breath away. The rolls wernt bad, but was not worth the $ 25 price tag and half hour wait for the bill.

Do you want to be disrespected? If so, feel free to eat here.
Will never eat at this restaurant again.
The food is alright. The rolls are small and relative to typical all-​you-​can-​eat (ayce) sushi restaurants, the proportion of rice to fish is acceptable. The desserts were standard, but the biscuit mousse was particularly good.
Like several others have said, they don’t give you what you order. They arbitrarily divide your orders by half. This is common among ayce sushi restaurants, so this was not surprising. What was surprising was the horrible service.
At one point, one of the people at our table misremembered how many soups they had ordered and brought this to the server’s attention. (He was probably late 30s, early 40s). He went into the kitchen to fetch our order sheet and pointed out that we had in fact ordered that number of soups. That was fine; we recognized that we had made a mistake and the server had taken the right steps in resolving our issue by double-​checking the original order. However, how he reacted afterwards was atrocious and unacceptable.
He slammed the order sheet on the counter, exhaled loudly almost like a yell, and left in a huff. Our table was stunned to silence.
That was how he reacted to three «extra» soups. Not a plate of sushi or anything actually expensive. And this was within the first five minutes of us eating there, so it’s not like we had been difficult customers.
Had this not happened, the restaurant would have been an acceptable ayce sushi restaurant — not bad, not exceptional, nothing special, but acceptably average. However, having experienced this, there is literally nothing anyone could do to make anyone in my 10-​person party want to eat there again.
On top of that server’s outburst, another server (middle-​aged, female) was also very rude. When bringing food to our table, she would shove past or in-​between us to reach the table without warning. If you were leaning over your plate to eat something, she would actually reach under your arm and place the dish under your chest or face, so that you would be mere inches from the food, mid-​bite, with someone invading your personal space. Even after we let her know that this wasn’t okay with us, she continued to do this for the rest of the evening.
This is not even an off-​day of service; this is simply a poor to non-​existent standard of service. It was infuriating and I would not risk coming here again.
