168 Sushi Japan Buffet

The few times I’ve been here, the food’s been great. There’s a wide selection available. The only downfall has been how slow the service was whenever I’ve gone.

The sushi was great. The service however, wasn’t that great. The woman serving us was a tad bit rude and barely came to our table. Overall, the restaurant was just a-​ok. I wouldn’t come here again for Sushi. I’ve had better food and service at other sushi joints. lol hope this is helpful!

This is one of the better AYCE restaurants in Mississauga. The décor is modern. It has I-Pad’s. The salad bar is relatively new. If you are into crab legs, they are available during dinner on weekends and holidays.
I like most of the items on the menu, but will mark them down for a couple of the rice dishes that filled me up but were not very tasty. There are several dim sum items included on the menu as well as Thai and Korean dishes.
I have eaten here infrequently, but will return.

Awesome place. Been here many times. Came here with my son and his friend and we always rave about the food quality and service. What’s even better, you order with an iPad so you don’t have to flag down the server to get your order in.

When I’m in town, I always go to 168 sushi. I have always got the greatest service here, I love their sushi and meats here. The iPad menu is a good touch and they seem to have more options then other ayce sushi I’ve been too. They have a salad bar in the back of the restaurant as well. Overall, great service, great food.

Went here with a few friends based on their recommendations. I’ll separate this review based on food and service because I think they both deserve some airtime.
FOOD: The selection here is great. They have your typical sashimi, sushi, rolls, hand rolls, appetizers etc., but also Korean food, Thai food, noodle soup, teppanyaki and dim sum. They also have this amazing salad bar with AYCE crab legs and all sorts of salads (leafy, mango, potato etc.). The best part though, they have the fruit jellies you can get instead of tapioca in bbt and the fruit bobas you get as a topping on froyo. FOR FREE. AND UNLIMITED. I was ready to just grab four plates and top them off with jellies and bobas, but my friends wanted sushi. Soft. We told ourselves we’d limit the selection on our first round, but then went ham and ended up barely finishing what we ordered. Yum.
SERVICE: Mehhhhh. When we first entered the restaurant, we were told there would be a 15 – 20 minute wait, even though we could see several open tables. Sure, maybe they’re all reserved. Nope. After ~5 minutes of waiting, the manager directed us to a table that had been cleared and available when we arrived. Whatever, minor inconvenience. We placed our order, sent it in, and I’m not even exaggerating here, all of our food came within three minutes. This might sound like a good thing, but it really wasn’t. We had ordered 20+ dishes with 200+ items and so when all of it came at once, there was literally not enough space on the table. We had to put some of the food immediately on our plates so that they could make more space, but we still ended up having to balance some plates over the edge. The incredibly annoying thing was that even after we had cleared up some of the food and were stacking the dishes on top of each other as an obvious sign that they needed to be cleared, no one came to clear them. The manager and several servers walked by, saw the plates, and decided they had better things to do. We eventually had to call someone over to clean things up. Not impressed.
Not sure if I’ll come back. It’s a bit pricier than other AYCE sushi places I frequent and the only advantage 168 has over those ones is the salad bar.

Got sick with their AYCE lunch. The food didn’t taste that bad, but I can find better. The restaurant is very pretty inside and feels like it’s a dinner atmosphere. The service is fast, but I don’t think I will be going back anytime soon.

I’ve been to this restaurant before, but the one in thornhill, so I already knew what to expect in terms of food, and menu items (and of course, what I could safely eat). One of the most unexpected things that occurred was that we asked for gluten free soy sauce (not expecting it though) and while they didn’t have any, it was because they had run out, not because they didn’t carry it! While I wish (very much!) that they had had it, I was happy to know it could be there next time.
In terms of food, I had the usual sushi and handrolls with cucumber and avocado. The handroll with cucumber is actually super dry without anything to dip it in, so I wouldn’t recommend it. I also had shrimp dumplings that are wrapped in rice paper.
So so good! Before our sushi came I enjoyed seaweed salad and mango. I also had edamame, but it was very bland. There are a lot of fish options that are gluten free, but I don’t eat raw fish so that limits me. Most of the meat skewers, if not all, come with a soy based sauce, so unfortunately those are a no-​go.
I still ate a ton of food and enjoyed it all! All of the ingredients were very fresh and aside from the edamame, were very flavourful! The food came out very quickly from the time of ordering, always a plus.
Our server, Sierra, was excellent. She was friendly, polite and did a great job of being there whenever we had a question, needed to order, wanted more water, etc. She also knew what gluten free meant, which is sometimes all I really ask for. Some of the best service I’ve had in a while!

[Service]
Unlike most reviews online I had excellent service. I went on a weekday at lunch time and it’s not like it was empty, but the woman who greeted us gave us superb attention. She taught us how to use the Ipad ordering system and would follow-​up on our requests. I’m sure it’s a lot busier on the weekends but can’t say that I have any complaints.
[Food]
I have a feeling that the food is catered to the non-​asian population cause it kinda sucks LOL. Now let begin by saying the ordering system is awesome but when I went to get my miso soup (which is off to the side and it’s self-​served) I was not impressed that the seaweed wasn’t in there. You can add toppings like tiny tofu and green onions but one sip and I knew… crap LOL. It had almost no flavour so maybe it got diluted. I don’t want to complain but I’ve had better luck making my own miso soup with pre-​packaged powder from J-​Town. Anyhow, there are lots of varities but the quality is average at best. The grilled dishes are a bit better, this includes the salmon. I actually don’t remember how much it costed since I didn’t pay lols, but my friends said it was worth it. For the quality, I would give it like a B-.

Although the restaraunt atmosphere is quite inviting, the quality and taste of sushi and rolls is sketchy at best. Most rolls taste exactly the same, despite their colorful arrangement of ingredients, which might suggest that the quality of the ingredients and sauces lacks in freshness and selection.
The service was timely and friendly. Thank you. Not really sure what Mediterranean music has to do with a Japanese cuisine, but trust me, I’ve heard worse.

After working out at Lifetime Athletic, I somehow felt famish. And I was told to load up on protein. The easier way out, is all-​u-​can-​eat place. I looked into
for the Top 5 restos in that genre and came across this restaurant that was nearby.
Being hungry by 1 pm didn’t help as we waited around 25 minutes for a table. I was surprised that it was packed, but then again, I should have realized from the parking lot spaces available. They were apologetic that we had to wait and I hoped my hunger will stay with me to eat up!!!
Happy: This place has an ipad menu system but I don’t like how you have to get the waiter before you can send in the order. Most items came to you as you sat and ate like a king. There was a small section which you can get up and get yourself these choices: soup, salad, dessert and the best part for me — ice crush shaver which you can drizzle with whatever toppings were provided. They even have a light sweet mango salad for you to grab.
The dishes came out rapidly and HOT which I like. Some dishes did take awhile that I forgot I ordered them, like the grilled mackerel and grilled eggplant. The short ribs and other beef dishes were cooked right. The rolls came nicely wrapped up and tasted fresh.
Not happy: They didn’t have the typical Japanese salad that I like with their house dressing. There could have been more vegetarian choices. Obviously, the wait time wasn’t the greatest since I was a very hungry cat. Next time we know, make rsvp on the weekends.
Verdict: I would definitely go back if I am in the neighbourhood. It’s about $ 2 – 3 dollars difference (higher) from other a-​u-​c-​e Jap restaurants in Mississauga. If you don’t want to wait, make sure you rsvp. Even when were were leaving, there was still people coming in to eat — late for a Sunday.

Very hip restaurant with decent AYCE prices! They have a fairly large menu for the price you pay, even at lunch. Weekend lunch is only $ 16! Great value, since I usually eat AYCE at lunch and it fills me up even until dinner time. 2 meals with 1 bill!
The only sad thing is that lunch doesn’t include sashimi. Some places serve the basics, like salmon and tuna at lunch, but I think a lot of sushi places are scrapping that, sadly. I guess if they do add that to the menu, they’d have to bump up their lunch price too.
But other than that, I have no complaints about this place. Service is extremely fast, and you can call the waiter at the touch of a button! The iPad is extremely convenient. You can view the entire menu, place your orders, call the waiter, and he/​she will send the order to the kitchen.
My first experience here was great and I’d definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for a new sushi place to try! You might find a new favourite.

Location
Along an industrial strip on Dundas, it’s a standalone restaurant with private parking. The interior is simple, modern and clean. Reserve a day before to guarantee seating as it gets busy during the weekends.
Service
Free wifi. Friendly and attentive servers. You choose meal items using an iPad app, and after placing your order, your server comes to get it going. We got a little excited and ordered almost 50 items split between 7 people, but the server was smart enough to taper our order and avoid having to roll us out in a barrel with our expanded tummies!
Food
Extensive AYCE menu that includes sushi and sashimi, Japanese grilled items, Korean Bbq, Thai and Singapore food. The desserts are pretty good too, and they had my fave mango yogurt cups!
We came on a weekday and forked over $ 25.99/adult ($ 11.99/kids). For the quality and selection, it’s worth going for a big meal.

Went here with the family as we were coming back from a road trip & heard good things about this place. Service was slow even though it wasn’t busy. Many items we included in the ayce order did not come out but could not stomach any more of the food. Among the rolls that came out there was a shrimp tail that was clearly being reused since it was dripping oil & someone already bit off a part of it!!! Needless to say we gathered strength from our half empty stomaches to get up & leave as fast as we could after that discovery.

Modern contemporary décor. Ordering, calling server, requesting the bill from an Apple iPad. 21^st century is finally embraced.
I first heard about this place from a co-​worker of mine 2.5 years ago, I’ve been a happy returning customer since.
Meats and fish are fresh (maybe a 2 or 3 days old).
The menu selection is big. You will find a picture of everything, aren’t good with names, no worries — this picture-​book iPad menu will take care of ya.
Service is quick, staffing is organized is a way so that everything is done correctly during peak hours.
Price is fair.
I didn’t find it obscure for an all-​you-​can-​eat. You get what you pay for.
I enjoy this place a lot. Will always return. Keep up the good work.

A good place for fresh and delicious sushi. The service is also very fast!
We went there on a Wednesday afternoon, and I was surprised to see the place was totally filled, even on a weekday afternoon! The servers are very attentive and polite. Good food with good customer service.

Update: July 22, 2015
The food as usual is outstanding. Service was quick and easy. The food was hot and well made for the most part. I noticed a few changes this time around.
The scallops in the shell which was previously done with a cream sauce now sits under a mountain of lava hot mayo. The garlic steak cubes was overcooked and the mushroom beef soup lacked all flavour.
Still — it’s worth it to come to this restaurant. 99% of the food is incredible and fresh.

Went to this place for lunch, was amazed by the fast service, we only waited less than 10mins for each order. Each table was provided an iPad for order taking, makes the menu reading and ordering part much more efficient.
As most of the AYCE places, no sashimi for the lunch menu, decent selection of maki, sushi and tempuras.
⁴⁄₅ for food, nothing too stunning, but I loved the size of the maki and sushi, they were made small (perfect sized), so I can try many different ones without getting too full.
Will definitely come back when I crave AYCE sushi.
Ps, the fried tofu I had was not very fresh, didn’t affect the whole experience though

The food here is great — their AYCE menu is extensive and their sushi is delicious! But their terrible service outweighs all the good. The manager has no knowledge of how to respect his customers — he and the waiters have the audacity to ask you for more tip when you’re about to leave the restaurant. They are rude and don’t understand the concept of good customer service.
It’s so unfortunate because I love the food but nothing is worth the attitude we have to deal with when we eat here.
Update: Decided to give it another chance so I went here after almost a year of boycotting it. The menu grew a bit but the quality of the food went way way down. Bad food and bad service :(

Best Sushi and Service, plus the iPad ordering system makes it easy to see what you’re ordering.
Friendly Hostess named Sierra already sets the friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in, and all the servers are so sweet! One of them actually overheard me mention that my work BB/​Pager was almost dead and took it to charge for me while we ate… where else can you get that type of service!
Everything is delicious here. Sushi is fresh, the steak is tender and flavorful.
Always worth the drive from the east end of the City!
