I have been eating at Robson sushi for over five years now, and I have to say, I am not sure why this place gets such bad reviews. I have eaten at many, many sushi restaurants that are disappointing, and I don't consider Robson sushi to be among those. The prices here for all you can eat are really good, and I've always like the food I've ordered here. The service can be a little slow when they are busy, which is normal. I think Robson sushi has outstanding food if you consider how much other all you can eat places charge.
It doesn't take a lot for a sushi restaurant to impress me, as long as the food tastes good, I am happy.
Fresh Box made the worst sushi I have ever had. It is worse then the day-old sushi trays that you can buy on discount at the deli in Save-On.
Mainly, the quality of the food was incredibly low and portions of sushi that I received were the smallest I have ever seen for sushi rolls, even for take-out. I ordered 27 dollars worth of food and didn't feel that I got my money's worth in comparison to other sushi restaurants. The food was prepared carelessly and didn't taste good at all.
A breakdown of what I ordered, and complaints:
The california rolls were bland, stale, did not have a lot of flavour. The avacado rolls were not prepared well, each roll hardly had any avacodo and the rolls were falling apart. The agedashi tofu was the worst I have ever eaten, it was soggy and wasn't cooked evenly, and was sitting in a pool of oil. The yam tempura was so greasy it left my stomach feeling ill. The tamago nigiri tasted a sour, as though the egg was getting old.
Overally, it was a frustrating experience. I would not suggest this restaurant to anyone.
