I havent visit this restaurant for almost half year just because of the terrible service that i had before, but tonight just because one of my frds really want to have some sushi at night and i finally give them one more chance, the food came fast and the service was great. The sashimi was so fresh and hot item such as bbq black cod was my favourite choice, the only bad thing is the bbq beef ribs (it doesnt seem it is bbq). But overall, the food and service was way better than i previously experienced. I will definitely be back cause i live really close by.

Nothing more and nothing less. The place is passable and for the price of late night AYCE, this place is a solid pick. There is nothing special about this place and the service is busy and pretty rushed. The food is alright and is pretty typical of all AYCE places. Price on the other hand is pretty good when comparing to the rest of the late nights as long as you get menu A and not A + B.

Came here with some co-workers after work one nite. As one of us was craving sushi and being quite late this was the place they picked. Well the service was okay and the sushi wasn't very good. You could tell that they use very cheap ingredients and low quality fish, not fresh at all. I would not recommend this place to anyone, just not good quality.

Went here for a lunch and found that the food was ok for the $9.95 menu but eh portions were very small and it takes forever for th food to arrive. So their strategy is to have small portions, take a long time to serve up those small portions and before you know it lunch time is up and one has to get back to the office...... hungry.
The taste of the ayce food is ok but slow service and portions sizes suck.

Since writing-off BC Sushi three weeks ago, I've meant to submit my own review. Tonight, having ordered from it's neighbour, Temaki Sushi, I have been reminded of why I should never have given BC Sushi more than one opportunity to keep me as a customer. (I'm sticking with Temaki. MUCH better!)

If you've read other reviews about BC Sushi, you'll have noticed the consistently-shared opinions of others:
* terrible service.
* incredibly rude owners & servers.

Believe it. People have not exaggerated.

I work in a nearby office, where many colleagues order from BC Sushi due to their economical AYCE fare & generous bento boxes. Sometimes, we dine-in (the noisy, shabby digs). Other times, we order for pick-up. Since December, I've probably spent about $200 at BC Sushi, both dining in and taking out.

Every single time: rude service, dismissive owners/servers, whom seem to treat their customers like a herd of cattle. No "please", no "thank you", no smiles, no warmth, no acknowledgment of returning customers, being grunted at on the telephone, and just ... an over-all lack of consideration.

Upon my final experience there, picking-up a take-out order, I was treated as though I had "interrupted" a conversation between two young, Asian women (conversing in Mandarin or Cantonese). Upon "interrupting" them to pay for my order, they continued-on their conversation, looking at each other, grabbing my cash, and plopping my change onto the counter. No "please", and definitely no "thank you". All while the older woman (owner?) stood there ... ignoring me too.

As I stepped-back and said, "You're WELCOME! Rude!", they were too busy chatting to each other to even notice my obvious, emphasized comments. They had my money, so why should they care or listen, right?

Returning to work, pissed-off, eating my "so-so" order, I read others' reviews here, printed several pages, and highlighted others' comments about "terrible service" and "rudeness". I also wrote an accompanying letter, stating my disgust, letting them know that I would not be back.

After work, I walked back to BC Sushi, and presented a yellow envelope (my letter & those reviews) to the older woman, enforcing that I'd ordered from her business for the very last time. She played stupid, asking myself, "When did this happen?"

Hello! She'd stood right there, next to the rude girls, a mere two hours earlier. She didn't recognize me, probably hadn't noticed their blatant rudeness (because she herself is, at times, rude too) and offered a weak apology.

Nope. Not going back. Their sushi isn't anything to write home about, the restaurant itself (old booths from Binos, dirty, noisy, tacky) is extremely unappealing, and no self-respecting person should ever patronize a business with such rude, ungrateful, dismissive owners/employees. They don't deserve to receive my money, nor does ANY customer deserve such unacceptable rudeness.

Temaki Sushi: I've been a customer for five years. Excellent people, good sushi, warm, inviting, clean ... everything that BC Sushi never has been, nor ever will be.

Yes I agreed, they are “Horrible service, missing ordering, and expect tips? No way”. eating here is kinda like fried chicken - the 1st bite is good and then it's all downhill from there. as a matter fact - it is difficult to discern the delicate tastes that truly good sushi embarks. there's also the likelihood of OVER-consumption

The service is pretty atrocious, even for all-you-can-eat. Staff is usually running back and forth and they constantly need to be reminded regarding orders, requests for refills and even the bill. With all that stress on the floor, not mentioning the sometimes rowdy customers they have to deal with they can be pretty sour

I, like some other reviewers, have the luxury of having visited this restaurant in the past and present, and, as such, I can give insight into the restaurant.

I eat A LOT of sushi. Not just maki, but sashimi, nigiri, chirashi... you name it.

Sushi is an art form and a food. Now, AYCE sushi bars do not necessarily have to honour the art... but all sushi bars must honour the passion.

BC Sushi no longer bears the passion that drew me previously.

Service with a smile has been replaced with service with a snark, and the food has deteriorated in quality along with the ownership.

It saddens me to say that I will no longer be frequenting this sushi den when I have such a host of selection in this beautiful city which affords better pricing and service.

I've been to enough All You Can Eat restaurants to be able to rate them against each other. The food here was alright, but the service was atrocious.

My friends and I had to wait for a table to open up despite an obvious section being free. We were never offered tea (which is usually what is offered before water).

Our first order came relatively quickly, but was never completed. Our second order tried to compensate for the fact that we never received the rest of the first one - however we waited more than 30 minutes for the second order to even show up. Even then we only received one or two items out of the several ordered.

When we questioned the server about it, she snapped at us that they were backed up but we would receive everything.
Last call came less than the 1.5 hours that we apparently have to eat ALL WE CAN EAT. In our outrage, we questioned again where our food was, and they said it was coming. We made an extremely large order for our last call, guessing we wouldn't receive any of it.

Sure enough - nothing came, and as we questioned another server, she snapped at us that she didn't know anything, too bad, it's time to go.

My friend asked for the manager upon payment and explained that the reason for not leaving a tip was purely based on the lack of service. The counter girl then replied with a snarky response, "Do you realize how backed up we were? I'd like to see you try".

I have been to enough busy sushi restaurants, and this restaurant was far from overloaded. There were still empty seats around. I will never go back here, and I hope you save yourself from this terrible experience. We only got half our order, and paid more than if we got a la carte. Regardless, the service was unbelievably terrible and the comments were uncalled for.

Went to BC Sushi this evening for AYCE late night menu (from 9.30pm- There are 2 menu options: $10.95 for standard (A) or $14.95 for deluxe (A+B) which includes unlimited sashimi among a few other things)...although on fridays and saturdays add another $1 to that price. (Side note: if one person on your table wants the A+B menu - you all have to have that. I guess they figure you'd all want a little bit of their sashimi!)
I'd read the reviews on this site and a few others, and was looking forward to a good value AYCE dinner.
Unfortunately, it was not a good experience. The service was decent, but there were very few servers who always seemed rushed off their feet - and were always hurrying us along.
The tuna sashimi was great - but I kinda have the feeling they have a really good piece that they give you your first portion from (3 pieces) - and then a different grade for any subsequent orders. There was definitely a difference in quality.
The really disappointing part was the rolls. I'm guessing because it was a friday night, and most people seemed to order the All-you-can-eat menu, they had made all of them in advance. We had quite a few roll orders, but every single piece was almost inedible. They'd obviously been made for quite a while - the seaweed was so hard and chewy it almost made me gag.
That's what I've now decided I hate about AYCE - you feel like you need to finish everything - even if it's bad - just so they don't charge you extra for "wasting food".
Overall, I guess it was good value for what it is, but I don't think I'll go there again.
Maybe it's better mid- week when it's a little quieter and the chefs don't feel the need to make so many rolls in advance.

It wasn't the best food but the service is really good. The managers and waiters/waitresses are always there for tea or ordering. Me and my wife always go there for the service most of the time since the food isn't the best. AYCE is pretty good with two menus. I feel like I need to write this review because I've seen so many reviews saying the service is bad, but in my opinion the service is the only thing bringing us back to BC Sushi over and over again.
