General Sushi

we’ve been 3 times once when it first opened, food was great, our second time a few months later wasn’t as good and disappointed. .my wife talk me info giving it one more shot and still hadn’t change for the better! back to golden maki!

4 star for what it is, compared to other AYCE in the Newmarket area. You can get your sashimi and sushi fix. Small and quiet place (walls are non descript) but servers are polite, attentive and quick with the orders. What makes them different: lamb skewers are a must try, ebi shrimp and octopus sashimi, and double spicy rolls! Mainly ‘japanese’ dishes, not many other Asian dishes i.e. Chinese, Thai… not a critcism, an observation. Our go to place for ayce japanese in east newmarket.

Order a combo yesterday and asked them to substitute 6 california rolls and dumplings for eel rolls. They did, but to my surprise they only gave me one! How cheap. They owner also didnt care when i complained to them. He said it costs more. Yet they did it for me three different times already. SORRY GENERAL you have lost a loyal customer.

I’m giving this place a 4 because the customer service was superb and the food was tasty.
I’m torn because I loved the flavour of the sushi rolls but truly disliked the atmosphere. The black pearl is my favourite, that was so yummy. The avocado salad was too good; creamy and ripe. But I have to admit, the restaurant is just boring! The flowers in our food were cute and all but they need some pizzazz! It’s like, blank white walls, some professional sushi photos and chill music.
I don’t really know how to rate this one because I’m just confused. I think I need to go back and try again. The sushi sandwich has zero flavour so I’d say stay away from that. Otherwise, two thumbs up for the rest of the menu. The service was attentive and it seemed like they really cared about our experience. I just can’t get over the walls. The salmon is super dense which I wasn’t ready for so maybe that’s what has thrown me off? Either way, I’m willing to try again.
My company noticed the take out menu had some decent prices though.

The food was good but the service and the presentation was really what made this sushi restaurant stand out above the rest.

The dreaded «mystery fish» is in my C3 Sushi & Sashimi combo at $ 11.99. I left the stuff called «white tuna» behind. The rest of the meal was fine. A standard miso soup, the traditional salad and then the main.
This combo was unusually heavy on salmon, but the salmon was very good, and the portions were thick. The other cuts were fairly thin. And of course, there is no such thing as white tuna. Finding it on my plate was an immediate loss of a star. Otherwise, the General is «A-​OK» with 3 stars. If you can stomach the mystery fish, the General is certainly a win. Try it yourself to judge.

Came here with some friends for AYCE dinner. The restaurant was very quite with just one other couple seated. We grabbed a booth and they were quick to bring the menu and our drinks.
We ordered a bunch of sashimi, maki and some hot food. All the hot dishes were served relatively fast. We did have to wait quite a bit for the sashimi though. As with most AYCE places the sashimi wasn’t the best but it was also not fresh except for the white tuna. The sashimi cuts were too thick but it was beautifully presented. The rice to fish ratio in their making was good but the rice was bland. The hot food was not seasoned too well. I liked the variety on the dinner menu but they do need to improve on the quality.
Compared to the other Japanese restaurants around our experience was OK. Will probably try out their a la carte next time.

Yesterday me and my girlfriend were up in new market visiting a friend and we were deciding on what to eat. When we were driving towards the highway 404, we passed by General Sushi and decided to give it a try since it was it’s grand opening with 10% discount.
I have to say, I was really amazed by the quality of the food and the environment. It felt really cozy and comfortable in there. The servers were really well-​mannered and attentive. The food was really fresh and they came in appropriate portions and were nicely decorated with flowers and designs.
I especially enjoyed the sashimi and the tempura. The tempura was fried perfectly without being too dry or too oily.
I found the location to be very convenient because we wouldn’t have found it if it wasn’t nearby the highway.
Overall, I give it a 5 star because of the location, the freshness of the food, the price is good, there are many varieties with good service, and most importantly, very tasty. Yummy!

This is another addition to Newmarket’s ever rising sushi restaurants. General Sushi is an AYCE joint that seems promising, well, I think, from my meal on this day, whole it still has it’s grand opening promotion. I love the set up, small and intimate, with only 9 – 10 tables/​booths. There is a picture of what each sushi looks like for those who need the visual aids. The cups for serving tea also has pictures of the sushi assortment. The sushi chef works behind his counter, in the middle of the place, and I love that I can see them make the rolls. Of course, there is a kitchen that you can’t see into in the back for cooked dishes, such as the tempura, udon, and mini donburi plates.
Right, the sashimi pieces, yummmmy, succulent, fresh and meaty! I love the mackerel because it tastes fishy like it should be, but doesn’t smell fishy. Did I say yummy? Okay, the rolls, I got the typical hubby-won’t-eat-shrimp-rolls. We got the BBQ eel and avocado, spicy salmon rolls, and a new one rolls for me, as asked and recommended by the server, the Black Pearl special roll. That had BBQ eel on top and cooked fish in the middle. I don’t know what fish it was in the roll but it was so good. I wanted other rolls with shrimp but couldn’t (thanks hubby). They have other options for shrimp eaters. I will try them next time for sure because all of the dishes we ordered were so fresh and tasty.
Of course, it is the grand opening week. Maybe that has an influence over the fish, meals, customer service, and rate. Golden Maki is in the opposite corner, too. I hope that my next review of General Sushi would still depict the same potency in taste and representation.
Tip: grand opening is 10% off right now (March 28, 2015).
