I know thta they had closed, but heard that they wanted to re-open in another location, so thought a review would be appropriate to leave.

The food is fantastic, of course being a buffett and being all you can eat the value is incredible $17 dinner all you can eat ($22 if you go for the additional items menu) The ambiance is terrific, nice cozy feeling.

The only thing I didn't really like was that they had brought additional items that we had not ordered, but who cares (after all it is a buffet)

If they open another location I will return

It's so good!! Well, for $8 that is.

I went there for lunch and the menu has the typical japanese food...sunomono, chicken karage, california rolls, etc. The 2 other menus have more food on it, but the most expensive one (at about $13) is still very affordable. Also, we weren't able to finish our food and asked to have the left overs packed up and they charged us very reasonable. A lot better than other ayce places.

As for the shark fin (sorry I just really have to comment on this)... before this economic situation we're in, they didn't use real shark fin. It's too expensive to use in an all you can eat restaurant. So don't worry! It'll be years (maybe never) before they'll be serving it at AYCE places.

While there was an abundance of food, most of it tasty, I will not be goig back here becasue they serve foods which are not sustainably caught. For a restaurant in vancouver to still be serving shark fin products is not acceptable. "I love sushi" can enjoy my business again when they join OceanWise and appropriately modify their menu. Until then, stand against the wasteful slaughter of sharks (fin and tail cut off, live shark tossed back to die. 90% of predatory fish are already gone) by not supporting placed that serve them.

Mrs. C and I went with some friends to check out the place based on the good reviews below. Overall we had no complaints.

The restaurant itself is clean enough, but not as nice as under the previous ownership. The w/c was nasty. I should add here that this location has gone through several incarnations, starting (when I first encountered it) as Yick's and then changing hands at least 4 times since then. A year or two ago, 1/3 of the building was walled off and became a rather crappy Malaysian place. But tonight was sushi night.

The service was good enough, although some of the orders took a while to get to the table. The food was pretty good, but not at the top of my list. One annoyance was the class system for ordering. They have A, B, and C classes which can drive the price of the AYCE up to an astounding 27 bucks. As usual, I sat at the back of the bus. I had the 17 buck A-list. The confusing bit comes when you fill out the form to order (they don't use PDA's here). You have to be careful not to order from the expensive items or a single order could get you dinged for an extra 10 bones. The paper form does not properly separate the first class from steerage class items... Nerve-wracking!

I liked all the items I ate and everyone at our table seemed satisfied with the variety. Still I left feeling that I could have gotten better value for my money elsewhere. Nothing really impressed me enough to say 'wow'.

Good if you are on the North Shore.

Went to I Love Sushi on Friday night with the bf. The selection at this AYCE restaurant is huge! I've never seen so many items that you can order from at an AYCE place before. Sure, there are some items that aren't traditionally Japanese, but most of them are still tasty.

Service was decent. We were seated quickly and the waiter came by to pick up our first round order sheet promptly. Had no trouble getting more order sheets or tea. Food arrived quickly too.

I would definitely come back again.

Had dinner here a few days ago, and enjoyed the great selection of food. I had the deluxe AYCE for $22 a person. Was pleasantly surprised at the selection as well as quality. For an all you can eat restaurant, I think the quality is better than almost all AYCE places.

They had some nice stuff on their menu, such as prawn tempura, without needing the vegetables to go with it, which was nice for people who just like the prawns. I found their wild salmon actually quite good and tastey, as well as their beef tataki. One downside is that portions seem strange, as I ordered beef tataki 3 times, and each time it was signifcantly bigger or smaller than the order before, like double as big or small. The roti I found a little disappointing, but found their lobster, geoduck and sharkfin (jellyfish) sushi quite tastey. Their scallop motoyaki was decent, as well as almost everything else I ordered.

The service was quite good once I got into the restaurant, spent a few minutes at the front before got acknowledged. But once seated, they came often to ask if we wanted to order more, we got another order sheet each time, and nothing was "forgotten" like other AYCE places.

I give this place 4 stars, since its a great place compared to other AYCE places. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome service - large portions - clean place - efficient and very very friendly. If they keep this up they'll become the busiest lunch place in the 3rd and Lonsdale area. Good job guys!
I have been two days in a row this week and have tried some of my usual items and some new items - very impressed.

Hey everyone who loves AYCE sushi! There's a new place to get your fix. Everything is fairly new there and the service and attention is great (for now). Hopefully they can keep this up. Food is what AYCE sushi should be. Very FRESH, large portions, and greater variety than most places. Have not tried lunch ( starting at $6.95) but looked at the selection...is worth it and more. The place is quite spacious and airy not cramped like other places. I was there for the first time for Saturday night and the place was busy. It was worth the drive over the bridge.

Saw an ad for this place and thought it would be great if I could find a decent AYCE sushi place on the north shore. I wasn't expecting much after seeing some mentions of it but was pleasantly surprised. I've been here a few times now for lunch.

The food I can only describe overall as "decent/OK", there is good and bad. The miso soup doesn't cut it. The tuna nigiri/sashimi is quite tasty. The malaysian/thai dishes are a nice addition. Presentation/preparation is a bit messy. The food all tastes reasonably fresh though, not old like some places (Kingsway Sushi). It's also not chincy in any way, you get lots of fish to rice, etc. Pop is also refillable.

The service is what I appreciate most. The staff seem genuinely cheerful and eager to actually please you. I mean they actually ask you "are you happy?" and smile and even encourage you to eat more. A far cry from many other AYCE places. Their english isn't always great so sometimes there is miscommunication but no big deal.

The place is fairly large and bright.

The prices are quite good here too. There are a few tiers of all you can eat, with the cheapest starting at $6.95 for a weekday lunch, which is really quite amazing.

I give it 4 stars for the combination of service and price with decent food. If it remains this way I'll be a regular here to get my AYCE fix. I'm only worried it will become a victim of its own success like others (Fish On Rice) and go down the tubes in regards to service. Already on the last visit it was considerably busier with it at capacity at 2 PM.
