Reviews for August 8 Oakville in Oakville, ON
This used to be our favourite sushi place. We have been loyal customers for a long time and even made sure to regularly order... takeout from them at the beginning of the pandemic, when all restaurants were really struggling. I?m sad to say the quality ofthe food has gradually decreased and the prices have increased. But what prompted me to write this review is that today I founda staple or small piece of metal in one of my dumplings. This is beyond just quality of food now - it?s a health and safetyhazard. Will no longer be a customer. Read more
Great experience! The food was delicious, fresh ingredients, the staff was super friendly. The price was another very good... aspect about this place. Read more
Normally, I limit myself to positive reviews only as experiences are subjective and YMMV. However, I feel like I must warn about... choosing the "à la carte" option for dimsum. I'll spare you the details about how we ended up at an all-you-can-eat restaurantand asked for the "à la carte" menu. It was accidental and switching restaurant was not an easy option. The dimsum items werepriced at the market price of $6.50 each, which is acceptable. However, to our biggest disappointment, each item was half thesize of what would be expected based on the industry standard. They were reduced sizes for the purpose of all-you-can-eat. Wefelt short-changed. I don't mind paying the full price, but I expect a full size. It may be hard to see from my pictures, butyou can see the dumplings (har gao for example) are not of a standard shape, because it would be a technical challenge to halfthe size and keep it the standard shape. As a result, they flattened the dumpling. The shu-mai feels like there's too much roomin the basket. The BBQ pork buns were one-biters. The ordering system from a tablet (if I recall correctly, it was an iPad) wasalso a terrible user experience. The response time was slow and the app was not user friendly. On the positive side, the sushirolls were reasonable at $14 each, considering today's pricing. The rice and noodle dishes were decently priced also. My biggestcomplaint is really about the dimsum items. If you are into quantity over quality, this place would be a good choice. If youorder à la carte, just don't order dimsum items. I give it a 3-star rating because you can get good value for theall-you-can-eat, but I'm sharing a negative experience for feeling short-changed. Read more
Typical AYCE Japanese sushi restaurant. If you want to have both sushi and dim sum at the same time, this place is a good place... to go. Nice vibe compared to other competitors, but if you have a high standard for dim sum, better go somewhere else. Read more
Our go-to sushi spot in Oakville whenever we want a takeout sushi platter. Reasonable prices, fresh sushi and easy to order... online and pick up on time. Comes with ample soy sauce, ginger and wasabi on the side. The preset menu options are helpful whenyou don't know what you want or you can get a build-your-own-tray to ensure you get your favorite sushi options. Worth tryingtheir in-person all you can eat sushi as well. Read more
This place was good back in 2015. I used to visit this place almost every week. Since Covid I have not been able to go in and... dine, but I managed to order through Uber. Unfortunately the food was not warm, even though it was on priority. The best sushithat I liked was the spicy Crispy Salmon roll. It was fresh and very crispy. Torched Salmon Oshizushi : It was okay. It wasCOLD Torched Scallop Oshizushi : Cold didn?t enjoy it. Steamed Beef Balls : delicious Torched Rainbow Roll : Good, notgreat. I will give this place another shot but this time I will go dine IN.

I really like how extensive this menu is when you come on the weekend for dinner. They have a lot of traditional Hong Kong dim... sum dishes such as the custard buns and even the stuffed eggplant and tripe. My husband really likes the dim sum and I reallylike the sushi. The sushi itself is actually quite good quality for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. Highly recommend a visitthough it is on the more expensive side. Read more
